Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

After the little demonstration of Aria's new skill, both of them got busy with different things.

Aria wanted to create more skills of different types, so she started doing that while Lilith began training in 3rd stage of Way of Unfettered.

Not normally, but just like Erix, Rin, Isabella, Lily, Sameira, and Kenshin.

A few hours passed by and Aria had been peacefully, but excitedly creating and refining her skills, exploring more possibilities, and learning by herself.

The others remained in the nightmares and just like that, ten hours passed by.

The portal of Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary lit up slightly, and Nira emerged from it, along with one more person.

"Ara, you are right," Tenebria said with a wry smile as she looked at Erix and others under the Dreanox Tree. 'They really entered the danger state.'

Tenebria's eyes glinted.

Nira bit her lips and asked, "What should we do? This is such an unreliable situation."

"It's not!"

Aria came flying and stood before them with a pout. "They will defeat the nightmares soon and wake up!"

"Let's check their situation," Tenebria said as she appeared before Erix and Rin first. "Although you can't help them, you can check their situation and status of their consciousness, to see whether they are winning or losing against the nightmare."

Aria and Nira appeared beside her.

"That's good. You can check yourself because I also feel that they will win," Aria grinned.

Tenebria's eyes flashed and a mysterious wave enveloped both Rin and Erix for a brief moment before vanishing.

A surprised expression flickered in her eyes. 'They are winning already? If Nira is not wrong, then they just entered this state thirteen hours ago.'

'That's fast.'

"What's the status, Master?"

"Their Aethir power is already near 10k, which means they've been brutally winning against the nightmare and becoming more powerful," Tenebria said with a wry smile. "If they don't falter or encounter setbacks that put them behind, they should wake up soon."

"I told you!" Aria said with a prideful grin and hands at her waist with her nose high.

"But what about others?" Nira asked.

"Let's see," Tenebria smiled and walked towards Isabella before inspecting her like Erix and Rin.

However, a startled expression replaced her as soon as she checked Isabella. "She is progressing as well and winning."

Nira was shocked, her mouth open wide.

"Hehe, we won't lose against these nightmares. We have a strong bond and we will rise together," Aria grinned as she conjured a small apple and put it inside Nira's wide-open mouth. "Eat this and chill."

Nira pouted as she took a bite but didn't say anything.

Tenebria arrived before Lily and nodded, "She is also winning."

She then went to Lilith and inspected her before releasing a chuckle, "Lilith is going good as well."

But when she arrived before Kenshin and Sameira, she was shocked for the first time, "T-This…"

"What happened?!" Nira exclaimed upon seeing Tenebria's shock, which was a rare occurrence.

Tenebria took a few steps back but didn't say anything and just looked at Kenshin and Sameira.

Aria tilted her head to the side in confusion, but she didn't ask anything. She just knew that nobody would lose in their nightmares.

"I am going to resume my training."

Aria left to continue working on her new 4th skill, which was a tall order for her as she had been working on it for the past three hours, trying to properly complete it while exploring and improving the use of Aethir's attributes.

Nira stayed beside Tenebria, but since Tenebria didn't answer her, Nira just silently stood.

'Why was Master Tenebria shocked like that?'

Several minutes passed, but Tenebria didn't move nor did she speak anything.

When ten minutes passed by, Nira couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there something wrong?

Tenebria's lips parted into a smile as she shook her head. "Look."

Nira looked at Sameira and Kenshin in confusion. 'Is she testing me?'

But after several seconds, Kenshin's and Sameira's aura increased and a powerful Aethir atmosphere formed around them as their eyes slowly opened, filled with clarity laden with pure power that indicated their mental state.

"Congrats on finishing the 3rd stage of Way of Unfettered," Tenebria smiled.

"Thank you," Sameira smiled. "You gave us this spiritual art and we are thankful for it."

"Indeed," Kenshin said with a laugh. "We've got a lot stronger as a whole thanks to it."

"It's your own capability that sprouted this result," Tenebria chuckled. "I've been watching you since I knew you two would finish soon. That was very impressive."

Sameira and Kenshin looked at Erix, Rin, and others and they both grinned.

"Well, we earned the bragging rights to our two young bright stars, hahaha," Kenshin said with a laugh.

Sameira nodded and turned back to Tenebria, "So you knew we would wake up soon? Can you also tell how others are faring in the nightmare?"

"Yep. They are doing good, so we can leave now," Tenebria said as she side-stepped and pointed at the portal with a grin. "As you have finished the 3rd stage of Way of Unfettered, it's time for you to enter the main stage."

"Hey, Nira. Are you daydreaming or what?" Sameira asked with a chuckle as she waved her hand before Nira's blank expression.

Nira went blank in shock the moment Sameira and Kenshin woke up. Nira was profusely wondering in her mind why and how these two succeeded so fast.

"I-I-I…." Nira's words didn't quite part from her lips at first, so she took a deep breath before saying with a weak smile, "I was just shocked. Anyway, come to the Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary. I'll guide you around."

"I'll leave them to your care, Nira," Tenebria smiled and waved her hand. "Let's meet again when the rest are also done with the starting guide."

After saying that, Tenebria vanished like the wind into the portal and went back to her busy work and preparations for the upcoming Axis realm expedition for her ascension.

Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin also entered the portal and arrived at Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary, guiding them the same way she did to Aria.
