As Crimson Inferno's crushed head flew off its shoulders, Kyle saw the image of a wall breaking.
He had done it!
The wall had seed unbreakable, but he had tried anyway. His opponent had been physically stronger than him. His opponent had Laws that were far more powerful than his. His opponent had been a level higher than him.
In all trics, Kyle had been inferior. The only thing that had given him the tiniest chance was his Imposing Law, but it had only increased his power enough to rival the physical power of his opponent.
It hadn't been enough to close the gap between levels, and it hadn't been enough to deal with the opponent's Complex Center Law.
Montum! With Montum, Kyle could close the gap sowhat, but it would only have a limited effect.
In the end, it still seed like a fight that Kyle would lose.
The wall had seed unbreakable.
Yet, despite the desperate and hopeless situation, Kyle had tried.
He had hit it, again and again.
And then, the first crack had appeared.
It wasn't unbreakable!
So, he kept hitting it.
He just kept going.
He just kept trying.
Then, another crack appeared.
More effort!
Give everything!
And finally, the wall broke!
He had won!
At that mont, Kyle's Montum grew dramatically.
Yet, the effect it had on the world didn't change a lot.
What was happening to Kyle's Montum was a rare occurrence. It was growing, but its effect barely changed.
That was because there was a limit. Soone in a given Realm could only exhibit so much Montum due to their level of existence.
From an outsider's perspective, Kyle's Montum barely changed. Yet, as soon as Kyle broke through the Wisdom Fire Realm, the change would be montous.
Right now, Kyle could only use 70% of the Montum he had accumulated, and he would gain access to the remaining 30% only after becoming a Sage.
Yet, Kyle barely paid attention to the change in his Montum.
Instead, he closed his eyes, listening to the silence of space.
His surroundings were calm and unmoving.
A feeling of satisfaction, pride, and victory encompassed his entire being.
'I survived,' he thought, opening his eyes. 'My path doesn't end here.'
At that mont, the surroundings suddenly beca quite loud as a mountain of random objects appeared around Crimson Inferno's crushed head.
These were all the things Crimson Inferno had kept in his Soul Space.
'Oh, right. Loot, ' Kyle thought as he looked at the mountain of miscellaneous objects.
Kyle scratched the back of his head. 'Usually, I don't really care a lot about what Seekers drop when they die. I kinda already have everything I need. Although it could also just be that I'm simply too rich to care. I an, I belong to the Array of Stars. So random Advanced Crushers in the Secondary Sector usually don't have a lot of wealth from my point of view.'
Kyle smiled. 'But this guy is from the Contrast Empire! He's probably loaded! I think I should actually take a look.'
For the next couple of seconds, Kyle went through Crimson Inferno's belongings.
The first thing he noticed was the great number of valuable tals.
As he looked at them, Kyle noticed that the different kinds of tal stuck to each other like they were magnetic.
'Gravity tal,' Kyle thought. 'All of these materials are Gravity tals! I an, I know that this guy has a tal Affinity, but why does he carry all of this stuff with him? Can't he just go to the Contrast Empire to take a look?'
'I usually lease all the tals I look at and give the remainder back. Why is this guy carrying them all with him?'
'Is it because he didn't want to leave the Secondary Sector?'
'Wait! I forgot sothing! Dawnlight has one Unique Crusher and about ten Fulfilled Crushers, right? And this guy was the strongest Fulfilled Crusher they had. So, wouldn't that make him part of upper managent?'
'What if these tals aren't actually from the Contrast Empire but from Dawnlight? Wait a second,' Kyle thought as he looked at Explosive Karma's report of Dawnlight again.
He hadn't cared about Crimson Inferno's position in Dawnlight previously, but now, he was interested.
'Crimson Inferno. Treasury Elder.'
Kyle blinked a couple of tis before looking at the materials again.
'I thought he would be the Head Elder or Vice-Head. Disciplinary Elder would have also been a fitting position. Yet, he was the Treasury Elder.'
'I an, after thinking about it, I can see why. The standard resources are held in warehouses so that they can easily be exchanged by Disciples and Elders. Top-tier resources are held by the Head personally. However, everything in between is usually in the Treasury Elder's Soul Space. If you have that many valuables in your Organization, you probably want a powerful Treasury Elder.'
Kyle smirked. 'I guess this guy was pretty confident. As far as I know, most Organizations have a policy that the Treasury Elder has to temporarily store the Organization's valuables sowhere else before entering a True Battle for obvious reasons.'
'Dawnlight was so confident that they literally let this guy enter a True Battle without asking him to store Dawnlight's wealth sowhere else.'
'I guess, in their minds, this wouldn't be a True Battle.'
'Don't mind if I do!' Kyle thought with a shit-eating grin as he pocketed all the Gravity tals.
Then, Kyle looked at the other objects.
A bunch of weapons.
Many resources to create Formation Arrays.
Hundreds of Beast Cores from Crusher Beasts.
Thousands of Beast Cores from Primal Beasts.
Energy Stones.
'Oh my fucking god!' Kyle thought as he saw the Energy Stones. 'Bro! These are Grade Six Energy Stones! Five of them! A single one of those takes a Sage over a thousand years to condense!'
Then, Kyle saw sothing else.
'A Gravity Core, and it's even better than the one Warp Space got back then! Not sure if this belonged to him or Dawnlight. I an, learning more about gravity probably also helps in understanding the Gravity Elents.'
After a couple more seconds, Kyle pocketed almost every piece of loot, leaving six objects.
Five of them were fruits.
As Kyle looked at the five fruits, he scratched his head. 'I have no idea what these things are. I an, they probably count as natural treasures, but I have no idea what they're good for.'
Kyle shrugged and put them into his Soul Space before looking at the last item.
'Yep, not taking this one,' Kyle thought as he looked at the black and white ring.
It looked very similar to the Communicator he had received from the Array of Stars.
Most likely, this was a Communicator from the Contrast Empire.
'There's no way I can use this thing, and the Contrast Empire can probably track it. If I'm carrying this thing around with , so Sage will probably co to assassinate real quick.'
Kyle looked to the side.
The people outside couldn't look through the Concealing Array, but Kyle could look outside.
He saw all the people outside looking at the arena with seriousness.
'Yeah, there's no way they're going to let this go,' Kyle thought as he looked at the mountain of valuables in his Soul Space. 'As soon as the arena vanishes, all of Dawnlight will probably rush to this place to kill us.'
'Guess we gotta skedaddle.'
