The Last Primal

Taking a deep breath of air, Pei Syriac sighed internally. Now that the Azure Myst Sect was involved, it was unlikely that he would be able to kill Aiden today.

Furthermore, the young heir, the 'Dark Lord' of Malefic Demon Clan was watching coldly from the sidelines.

This was not the right time to engage in a conflict with Azure Myst Sect. Otherwise, Malefic Demon Clan might stand to gain from their disagreement.

At that thought, Pei Syriac cupped his fists towards Tai-Liu and eyed the hooded Aiden deeply before saying with a theatrical, fake smile.

"[Reptilian] My dear friends, there's still a long way to go. There will definitely be another chance for us to 'spar' in the future!" He placed an added emphasis on the word spar in his response.

However, already angered, Aiden didn't bother to give him a modicum of face. "[Reptilian] Sure, I will gladly take your life the next time you spar. Let this one little bout be a reminder of your arrogance!"

"Ahahaha!" Pei Syriac threw back his head and guffawed heartily. "[Reptilian] Sure! I will be looking forward to it!"

With that, he flicked his robes and turned to leave along with the other Cystal Palace disciples.

On the other side, the Dark Lord and his attaché followed suit and left the street not long after.

In the blink of an eye, two top factions in Ugburg City disappeared completely, as if they never appeared.

Madam Dara and the rest of Aiden's captains sighed in relief as this looked at the scene.

Finally it seemed the disaster have passed and they could get some much needed rest!

…

On the long street, the long winded commotion have finally calmed down. The remaining survivors of the Church's Extermination force were no longer a threat. Having lost their heads they were like lambs prime for slaughter.

It was also fortunate that Tai-Liu had returned. Otherwise, another bloody battle would definitely break out if Aiden took on his true draconic form and the consequences would be unimaginable after everything spiraled out of control!

Tai-Liu took out some elixirs from her leather waist pouch and handed them to Madam Dara and the others.

They eagerly accepted the gifts and thanked her in return.

Even though they also had some vials with them, their effects were definitely not comparable to those from such a prime sect as the Azure Myst assigned leader's.

When it was Aiden's turn for the gifts, he merely took a glance and shook his head gently, choosing not to take them.

"[Reptilian] What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Tai-Liu asked with confusion on her face. "Your injuries are deep and definietly nothing to scoff at or 'tought it out'! These elixirs will help you speed up your recovery and get back to your peak state in no time! If you are worried about the cost, you shouldn't I have plenty, you do not need to be concerned at all!"

What Tai-Liu said though not wrong, she also failed to understand the potential of her simple handouts. The vials she took out one after another were all decent quality, superior grade potions that would fetch a sky high price back on Eora. You could probably shoot straight up to the upper echelons of Higrove's society with just a handful of these!action

Still, for Aiden these were not needed. His own vitality and regenerative capabilities were much better. With the added extra essence he had gained every now and then secretly from the long winded bout, he had more than enough to regenerate back to full health once he would finally be left alone.

He only needed a session of meditation to get back to his prime state as well as gain some potential benefits along the way as well.

While Aiden seemed like he was severely injured in the battle with more than 30 wounds and blood covering him from head to toe, in reality, his foundation was unharmed.

His organs were perfectly fine as were his tendons and bones. He also had just enough energy left in his tank. In just a short while, Aiden's wounds were already starting to heal and had stopped bleeding long ago.

Given his terrifying regeneration capabilities, he could recover in probably overnight!

…

Nowadays the inner city of Ugburg could be said to be divided into four equal parts, four dominant districts.

One side, generally known as the 'East Sector' were where the Crystal Palace lorded over. Ever since they came nobody, not even the church bothered to offend them.

Opposite of them, holding over the west, or the 'Dark Sector' were the domain of the recently arrived Malefic Demon Clan's territory. They were true fiends, ruling thier sector with just as much of an iron hand as did the church. Only differnce was, that whilst the Church, who ruled mostly the north with some small influence to the south, were hiding behind the mask of righteousness and the 'will of the Ancient One', whilst the disciples of the Malefic Demon Clan were at the very least honest to themselves and their desires.

As said before, whilst the North was the true base and main domain of the church and the High Priest, they also controlled over the south as well, though their grip wasn't as strong in there as they hoped.

Especially recently, with how their two main forces, after the demise and dwindling numbers of their Elite Captains, the local smaller forces as well as the ever-present pestilence of the resistance slowly but steadily claimed more and more streets to themselves.

Originally when the extermination force was still present in everyone's minds, the Church still had the most control, and had a sway over even the east and west governmental matters as well.

However, now that their most fearsome and terrifying force were now painting the pavement to a more healthier color of crimson red, it was certain that their words were carrying less and less weight.

The south, that once still belonged to them, were now unofficially the land for the Azure Myst Sect as well as the growing seeds of resistance.

Before the bloody battle on the long street, Tai-Liu valued Aiden highly and even went as far as coming to an agreement with him to actually step in to deal with the Extermination Force if necessary.

At that point in time, her thoughts as well as this outrageous agreement were seen as nothing but fanatic and irrational. Her judgement was called into question not just by her peers but even by her uncle as well!

Yet, how everything changed now!

Now, everyone realized her keen insight at the time, and praised her quick thinking that benefitted the Azure Myst Sect immensely!
