The slave traders can only hope to persuade Claude by intimidating him using the threat of a Noble Mage.

Unfortunately, that is bound not to work. Not to mention a Noble Mage, even a Royal Mage would not be enough to make Claude afraid.

His own Master is a Sage Mage. In the entire Southern Domain, the most powerful beings are the Sages. Even Noble and Royal Mages can be easily defeated and killed by a Sage.

Hence, there was no need for Claude to fear a mere faction that only has a Noble Mage.

With eyes cold as usual, Claude continued to wield his Noblesse Artifact, casting the Call of Ten Thousand Lightning once more.

If one cast of this magic is not enough to destroy the formation protecting the capital, then Claude would continue to cast more!

One bolt of lightning after another bombarded the formation. Soon, cracks formed that spread throughout the whole formation.

In the end, it only took Claude a bit more time before even the capital was cleansed by him. With his connection to the Eclipsion Realm, he managed to target only the slave traders while not harming the natives.

With this, the realm is now rid of the foreign invaders. Even if there are still non-natives present in the realm, their numbers wouldnt be that high, and it was only a matter of time before the natives would become the realms master once again.

With Claude eradicating the foreigners, the realms blessings to him grew even more. The fortune aura he obtained basically made him no different than a realms chosen.

There is only one difference between the heavens blessed and the realms chosen. In a realm, there could be many heavens blessed, each with varying amounts of fortune aura.

They are destined to rise above the masses, and it was almost guaranteed that they would become above average.

As for the realms chosen, there can only be one per realm, as the realm is focusing on one individual, and for a good reason. A realms chosen is born if the realm feels threatened enough.

To save the realm from destruction, it would give birth to a chosen one who would then help the realm eradicate the threats.

With the fortune aura that Claude currently possessed, it was enough to rival a realms chosen of a third-ranked realm. He was the darling of the realm, and his connection to the Eclipsion Realm grew stronger than ever.

This… while I am inside the Eclipsion Realm, I can become a Pseudo-Noble Mage! Claude realized this, and he was extremely shocked.

The Pseudo-Noble Mage he was pertaining to is about his ability to use the realms mana as if it were his own. Only Noble Mages and above have this kind of ability, but Claude, even just at the Senior Mage Rank, can achieve the same effects.

No, in fact, this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing. Back in the earth realm, when Claude awakened and realized his destiny, he was connected with his birth realm.

Not only could he use the realms mana, but he could also even mobilize its origin energy. It can be said that controlling the mana of the Eclipsion Realm was a downgrade version of his ability to use and control origin energy.

I dont like this… Claude took a deep breath. He doesnt know why this happened, but the stronger his connection to the Eclipsion Realm, the more he was reminded of his failed destiny.

Now that he had freed the realm from the invaders, Claude decided it was time to leave the Eclipsion Realm.

No matter how much of a heavens blessed or even a realms chosen he becomes, it would only affect him while he was inside the Eclipsion Realm.

If he were to enter the sea of void or even another realm, the Eclipsion Realm cannot do anything about him.

Fortunately, the slave traders have many void ships they use to ship out their products. Claude can take one to travel in the void.

—

Unbeknownst to Claude, his action of killing the slave traders could have killed him if he he doesnt had a Sage as his master.

In the sea of void, the Noble Mage Kirl, the one who enslaved the Eclipsion Realm, could be seen.

A void ship that is faster and stronger than a Noble Mage was extremely expensive. As such, most Noble Mages do not own a fourth rank void ship, especially the ones that just broke through.

While slave trading is profitable, it would still take a long time before a Noble Mage can afford a void ship. Not to mention, progressing in the Noble Mage Rank was many times harder than the prior rank.

Without enough cultivation resources, a Noble Mage might not see any improvement even after a hundred years.

As such, most Noble Mages would opt to use their money to buy cultivation resources rather than a void ship.

In any case, their bodies can resist the erosion of the void, and their speed was also not slow.

The Noble Mage Kirl was no different. He doesnt have a void ship at the fourth rank, and his flying or warping speed was faster than void ships at the third rank.

As such, he was traveling in the void on his own to check the situation of one of the realms he had captured.

It took decades or even more than a hundred years before his subordinates could find undiscovered realms.

Defeating the natives and enslaving them would also take some time, especially if a Noble Mage does not make a move personally.

As such, every single captured realm was important, and Noble Mage Kirl couldnt let his control over the realm be destroyed.

However, just as he was about to enter the Eclipsion Realm, the figure of an old man suddenly appeared in front of him.

Leave and never bother this realm again Claudes Master, the Stormbringer Sage, said calmly.

Even with a Noblesse Artifact, the current Claude is powerless in front of the power of a Noble Mage.

As such, as Claudes Master, it was the Sages task to clean up his disciples mess. In any case, this was not something that the Sage disapproved.

Sage Stormbringer has a kind disposition, which was rare for mages as powerful as him. If it were up to him, he wouldnt allow slavery in the Southern Domain.

Unfortunately, even a Sage Mage cannot fight a whole domain, especially when there are factions with multiple Sages that allow slavery.

However, while Sage Stormbringer cannot ban slavery in the whole southern domain, it doesnt mean that he cannot save a single realm from the clutch of a Noble Mage.

It was already out of the kindness of the Sages heart that he even spoke to the Noble Mage Kirl.

If it were any other Sages with a more cruel personality, this Noble Mage wouldnt even know how he had died.

Who are you? The Noble Mage Kirl inquired with a frown. With the fact that this old man is staying in the void using his bare body, he definitely is at least a Noble Mage.

Kirl just doesnt know the exact realm of the old man, but the latter might be stronger than him, considering that he cannot determine the old mans cultivation realm.

Its better if you do not know, but rest assured, I will not make any other move against you as long as you leave this realm alone the Sage replied much to Kirls discontentment.

Slave trading is a profitable rage, and many mages participate in it. The loss of a realm is an enormous loss, even for a Noble Mage.

After all, aside from the natives that could be sold, the realm also has other treasures and resources.

It can be said that owning a realm means literally having the whole realms resources at hand. No Noble Mage would be willing to easily surrender a realm to another person.

This is a realm that I own. I believe I dont need to leave this realm Kirl insisted, his tone icy cold.

The old mans cultivation realm might be higher than his, but if they were to fight, he might not necessarily lose badly.

Even if the old man was stronger, Kirl still had the confidence to at least flee. After all, it was extremely hard to kill a Noble Mage even if the killer is also a Noble Mage.

It might not be hard to defeat Kirl, but killing him is a whole different story. Even mages significantly stronger than him would not have the confidence to be able to kill him.

If you take one more step closer to the Eclipsion Realm, you will not leave this place alive the Sage continued.

Just because a Noble Mage would find it hard to kill another Noble Mage doesnt mean that a Sage Mage would also find it hard! There was a vast difference between a Noble and a Sage.
