The Last Primal

892 Chapter 892 - A loose-end finished

"Pfft!"

Aiden stomped down fiercely on Mighty Cain Khoren's abdomen.

How terrifying was Aiden's physique?

He had the strength to snap a supreme-grade artifact weapon directly!

That single stomp was already something that Mighty Cain Khoren's body definitely could not endure. Not even if he would be in his peak state and not in this miserable mess he was right now.

His abdomen was torn right through as grisly fresh blood gushed forth from that mess of flesh.

However, that was only the wound on his physical body. Mighty Cain Khoren was a true, peak state, Martial Master. A mere wound on it would not be critical.

However, this was not all. It was not that initial damage that caused him to be in such pain… No, it was the fact that Aiden's singular stomp, that seemed simplistic, and pure, was much more than what it initially seemed.

Besides the physical wound on the mortal flesh, it also wreaked havoc in Cain Khoren's soul as well. In just an instant, his Martial Master power was also smashed and more than two hundred years of painful training was lost in a single moment!

Mighty Cain Khoren coughed huge mouthfuls of blood with an ashen expression.

With his Martial Master power smashed away, his soul was crippled and that was a feeling even more terrible than death!

His appearance was turning old rapidly.

Right now, Mighty Cain Khoren was more than two hundred years ago. The reason why he looked like a middle-aged man was because he had formed his Martial Master power and his lifespan was extended.

However, with the destruction of his Martial Master, his powers were gone as well and he could no longer withstand the power of time.

Mighty Cain Khoren's hair started turning white and his skin lost its luster.

This was the same for beasts, demons, and all kinds of life.

After beasts, fiends, and demons form their Inner Cores, their lifetime's martial powers would be stored within their Inner Cores.

With the Inner Cores, demons could take on human form and even speak in human tongues.

However, if their Inner Cores were removed, they would lose their martial powers and those that took on humanoid-like form would revert to their original state while losing the ability to speak in common tongues.

Aiden was no longer looking at the groaning and dying Cain Khoren on the ground. He walked straight to the edge of the courtyard and squatted down to observe.

Not long later, he stood up and continued walking around the perimeter of the formation.

From time to time, he would stop and step down gently.

When he left, there would be a footprint at where he stood, surrounded by web-like cracks.

At the center of the footprints, there was a spirit stone that was dim without light, crushed by Aiden.

Madam Dara understood what was happening.

Aiden was dispelling the formation.

With every single footstep, he was crushing a formation eye!

The light surrounding the formation began to dim gradually.

The formation that Tan Hao claimed to be able to trap Martial Masters for up to five days was destroyed in less than 15 minutes by Aiden!

This was the second Extreme Martial Knight martial artist in history.

Gazing quietly at that figure not far away, Madam Dara's eyes were fixed the entire time.

She couldn't help but smile at this incredible young figure's back.

Before long, the formation lights dissipated into the night, and the formation was dispelled, revealing the skies to them once more.

The night was hazy and the moon was bright with few stars.

Although a massive battle had just broken out at the manor, it was quiet in the surrounding town.

Most of the mortals in the town were already awake due to the shock.

However, how would any of them dare to show their faces in a fight between mighty figures! To them, they were demi-gods and mythical beings… immortals!

Everyone hid under their beds and clutched their blankets tightly, praying that they wouldn't be implicated.

Turning around, Aiden whisked up the groveling Mighty Cain Khoren and turned to leave the Aiden, heading for his own residence.

Madam Dara's body swayed as she looked at Aiden's leaving back view, almost stumbling.

The door at the side opened with a creak and a middle-aged man ran over frightfully with a look of trepidation. Supporting Madam Dara, he asked dearly, "Madam… Madam! A-are you alright?"

The man was Adam Fran, a mortal who was working as the sole servant in the manor assisting Madam Dara and Tolliah. He was hiding in Tolliah's room and was making sure she did not have to see the bloodbath that had just happened.

He was a local that helped them during their stay in this small town.

"I-it's alright. I will be fine… Just weak. With Young Master, I am safe… finally."

Madam Dara's condition was getting worse and her consciousness was fluttering as she murmured to herself. Despite that, she was smiling.

"I was the one who caused myself to be in this state today. There's no one else to blame… It is my greed for power, to be able to stand tall at his side that put me in this state…"

"Yet now, without him coming to my rescue, I would probably be dead by now…"

Alarmed and afraid, Butler Adam grew anxious and called out with an agitated tone. "M-madam, what's happening to you? Don't scare this old man! Everything is in the past and it isn't your fault…"

Before he could finish, Madam Dara turned and looked at him with a dazed expression, tears pouring down her face.

"Adam… Oh, Adam, I regret my greed..."

The family's courtyard that was actually Adam's family was in a state of chaos. It was a great mess.

Standing where she was, Madam Dara's expression turned increasingly terrible. Though she received help, she was still extremely weak and tired. Her energy was rapidly running out and an aura of extreme exhaustion was shrouding her as her consciousness faded in and out. She could collapse at any moment.

Butler Adam was supporting her carefully by the side, watching everything unfold helplessly.

Initially, he hoped that he and his family clan would be able to flourish instantly by relying on the fact that a mighty existence, a true martial artist master was indebted to them!

However, all of his hopes were dashed right now.

Yet, there was no disappointment in Butler Adam's heart. Though everything started with the benefits looming before his greedy eyes, over time, he got to know this beautiful pair of girls. The Madam and the young princess, the ever-cheerful Tolliah.

At this very moment, the only thing he wished was for this young woman to survive. Even if he had to return to his ordinary lives in the past, it would be better than the helplessness he was feeling right now.

Butler Adam asked softly, with a hint of anxiety seeping through his voice. Despite his best attempts to hide it, some of his worries still got through his mask. "Madam… Do you want to lie down and rest?"

Madam Dara shook her head gently and stood where she was obstinately. She struggled to open her eyes and watch the entrance, as though she was waiting for something.

She knew that if she were to lie down now, there was a chance she wouldn't get up again.

The night darkened gradually.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.

Gray, tattered robes, black hair, and a set of elegant features.

That person this seemingly weak, slender young man that was her entire world.

Now, he had returned finally.

Madam Dara said softly, a weak, faint smile emerged on her tired face. "You came back."

Returning the same, gentle smile with a longer silence, Aiden replied. "I did."

Some time later Aiden walked along the long streets before the now silent and calm mansion and looked at the simple surroundings. Suddenly, a surge of emotions gushed through his heart.

He couldn't help but smile… This was the exact lifestyle, this calm and wanting for peace that he desired. He searched and hoped to reach with his own Haven. A place where all those there shunned, hunted, and humiliated over their years… the innocent that suffered could live a similar, simple and peaceful life.

A place where they could flourish. They could thrive and would not need to always have one eye looking around for dangers…

Because of an immortal fate, Aiden, Madam Dara, and Mighty Cain Khoren's fates were changed.

Though everything was sudden, and it did take him a lot of effort, now Madam Dara's state was stabilized. Her failure… or in reality, the trap she had fallen into and caused her breakthrough to fail, was now resolved.

She would now pull through, and in time, she could attempt her breakthrough again. This time, in a much safer environment, with her family, Aiden and the rest of the servants would be close by. To protect her, to help her.

All the grievances of the past couple of weeks had been stuck in Aiden's mind like a rock and pulling him back was there. Now, everything was finally gone completely, crushed into dust.

In a single night, he resolved such a dangerous loose end, and regained this calm and serenity he had always fought for.

Suddenly, the spiritual sea within his Inner Core surged and formed massive waves.

Aiden could sense that the opportunity for him to enter the Martial Master realm had arrived!
