Chapter 13

THE LONG-AWAITED FREEDOM

When Kai finally opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a tall, fair-haired elf in golden armor, whose aura he couldn’t sense. However, one glance at this powerful towering figure was enough for him to realize that the elf’s strength was far beyond his comprehension.

It wasn’t until a few seconds later, when he properly started coming back to his senses, that Kai finally realized who he was looking at.

“Is it... really you?” he asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know exactly who you’re referring to,” Starks said. “So it could or it couldn’t be me.”

“Where am I? What happened?” Kai grabbed his head as his consciousness slowly cleared up. Memories of his fight with An’na flashed through his mind and everything fell into place.

“I see you remembered,” Starks remarked, noticing the change of expression on Kai’s face.

“Why are you here...?” he asked, and quickly added, “Lord Starks.” As the younger, and, more importantly, much weaker cultivator, it’d be extremely rude if he addressed the elf only by his name.

“Lord?” Rune’Tan said sarcastically. “You never call me that, even though I’m much stronger than this youngling…”

“You were much stronger. Now you’re just an old man without a body,” Kai replied in a similar manner.

“Heh. And this is what I get for helping you wake up...”

“I came to congratulate you on your victory,” Starks replied.

“But what about what happened at the end of the fight? Shouldn’t I’ve been disqualified?”

“That’s a great question. The rules state that ki and Forces of all slaves have to be completely suppressed by the collar. This is the very rule that the Fist Fight was based on. However, in your case, it’s not that simple. You probably didn’t notice, but your opponent partially damaged your collar with her last attack. Second, you didn’t use your ki directly for victory. The girl surrendered on her own. We found no evidence that her mind had been tampered with. And, lastly, the investigation showed that it wasn’t you who used the Forces. An uncontrolled burst of Yin tried to capture your soul but you fought it off. Congratulations.”

“You know about Yin?”

Starks raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t know what world you came from, but in Nikrim, the concepts of Yin and Yang aren’t considered a mystery. Several hundred cultivators across the continent can use them, including me.” The white light of Yang appeared in the elf’s eyes. “It’s precisely because you overcame Yin and remained yourself that I came here to talk to you personally. Your Will is pretty strong. It even came close to the level of The Master’s Will, even though you’re not even an Exorcist.”

“But why did Yin try to capture my soul?”

“It’s the essence of all concepts,” Starks replied calmly. “Neither you nor I can understand the Highest Force. But, apparently, in the universe, there’s a loophole that allows you to master its distorted reflections — their concepts. But this opportunity can’t be used without consequences. The concepts are dangerous. If you manage to perfect your
