Kayden thanked the woman and began reading the books in the library. Without rest, he read all 200 books and tested some of his theories with divine mana. This reading process took about two months, as the knowledge was scattered without any real connection.
Upon testing the divine mana, Kayden realized how impressive it was. Easily, divine mana could make up for any deficiency in a technique, making its aura slashes incredibly powerful and fast. He was looking for a way to ascend to the sixth realm at a level much higher than his current one. To do this, he needed to do something different from everyone else. The normal method was to condense divine mana within his body and core, a balance between the two types of mana, with normal mana being the majority. However, Kayden had no difficulty manipulating divine mana, and within a few years, he mastered divine mana on the same level as normal mana.
After finishing studying and learning everything he could at the library, Kayden searched for his next job. He knew he needed new opportunities and to feel his life threatened again to grow. Kayden looked for some hunting group outside the city, believing they existed somewhere. He was recognized in every corner of the city, and the news that he had abandoned the wall had already spread. In less than an hour, dozens of organizations reached out to him.
Kayden refused all offers, including inner city defense, merchant groups, and even some gangs. Then, a woman dressed in animal skins that exuded terrifyingly strong auras appeared before him. She had brown hair, red eyes, and fox ears, features that made it clear that she was not human. His aura was at the sixth realm and seemed ready to face any challenge immediately.
"Mister Kayden, I represent the hunters’ guild. We are an organization that operates throughout the area. I would like to extend an invitation to you to meet our organization," said the woman.
Kayden accepted the proposal immediately. The conversation was so quick that the woman remained silent for a few seconds before understanding Kayden’s response.

"Good! My name is Minerva. You will be part of my team for now. We lost a member against the mountain horses," Minerva explained.
Kayden was taken to an isolated area in the city. It was a three-story house with rune protection, privacy spells, and alarm, more protected than the walls where he had worked for years. By putting some divine mana into his spiritual sense, Kayden was able to see everything inside the house, a silly trick, but one that required very high control over the mana.
Minerva noticed what Kayden did and was surprised. She was ordered to recruit him because he was special, but when she met him, she felt nothing that would put him on a pedestal. He found its six rays somewhat mediocre. Inside the house, Kayden noticed the presence of three other people, all identical to Minerva, but in the fifth realm. They dressed the same and looked the same.
"They’re my younger sisters. Don’t get the wrong idea, none of them have had any prolonged contact with men," Minerva said, and Kayden just nodded. As soon as they entered, the three came to see what was happening.
"Who is he, Minerva?" asked one of them.
"The new member of our team for now," replied Minerva.
The three were surprised by this sentence.
"Hello, I’m Kayden Heart," Kayden introduced himself politely.
None of the three took him seriously, as they didn’t know his fame or respect the strength of someone with six rays.
"Luiza."
"Maria."
"Kamila."
His greetings were curt, but Kayden didn’t mind at all. He had already been through so many experiences that he didn’t even care about such superfluous things.
"Let’s leave immediately and tackle some smaller beast spots so Kayden can get used to the team," Minerva ordered, and everyone flew out of the city.
Kayden knew there was a high chance he would never return to this place again. Although he spent a lot of time there, the city meant nothing to him. He didn’t even look back as they flew.
It didn’t take long for them to encounter a group of ten horses from the fifth realm and one horse from the sixth realm. Kayden has had little contact with opponents from this realm. Minerva immediately jumped the strongest horse and left the rest to them. All the women wore double daggers and fought using dark spells, their blades bathed in a ghastly black fire. Kayden just watched as they fought, understanding their strengths.
The women were strong, making it clear that they had many experiences in their lives. They were not fighters unaccustomed to risking their lives. In just a few minutes, they cleaned all the horses without much difficulty. Kayden only helped in some moments with accurate attacks that prevented them from getting hurt or getting into a bad situation. Other than that, he did not directly enter the battle.
"He makes good support even though he’s so weak," Maria commented with a nod.
"He supported tens of thousands on the walls. He has some experience," replied Minerva, commenting on the three as if Kayden didn’t exist. The boy didn’t care.
Over the next few days, they continued at a rapid pace, only stopping for a few hours a day. This was perfect for Kayden to train using divine mana and everything he had learned over the years. The fights became increasingly fierce, and Kayden had to start giving everything he had to survive. Most opponents were already at the third level of the fifth realm, and yet he was still able to match up.
His relationships with the four women were somewhat exotic. They treated Kayden as if he didn’t even exist in the group. They tried to include him in the first few days, but the boy didn’t care about social contact and didn’t react to any provocation from them.
Time passed quickly. Before Kayden knew it, they spent a year outside the cities, hunting animals everywhere. They flew thousands and thousands of kilometers without any sign of another rational being.
"We’re going to enter a city in the next few days. It has a huge coliseum for life-or-death fights worth all the opponent’s wealth. Take advantage of this opportunity and don’t die," explained Minerva, detailing a few more points of where they would go and what the situation was like. city organization.
The only problem was that on the way they would pass through one of the craziest spots in this area, a place called False Mountains. This name was because mountains measuring dozens of kilometers were, in fact, turtles of the fifth kingdom. These were some of the greatest beings in the fifth realm. It didn’t make sense for something this big to exist in a low realm, its energy consumption was ridiculously high, and this caused the thousands of kilometers around it to have a very low mana density.
Another problem was that these beasts were more difficult to face than an opponent in the sixth realm. Their bodies were very large and capable of taking a ridiculous amount of damage. Furthermore, his attacks were corporal and carried the weight of a mountain.
"Lots of divine mana!" shouted Maria as soon as they stepped into the False Mountains. For some reason, the lack of normal mana was suppressed with divine mana, and in a much higher quantity than normal.
"Be careful, keep your spiritual sense collected." Minerva was visibly nervous; she knew that if they angered a mountain in the sixth kingdom, everyone would probably leave that place dead.
The walk was peaceful for several hundred kilometers, practically nothing happened, but... in a moment, it was as if the sun had disappeared, as one of the mountains rose and grew a few kilometers just by standing.
The beast’s spiritual sense was crazy and it came directly towards Kayden’s group. Everyone froze for a few seconds. Minerva reacted quickly and already knew what she had to do.
"If I use any force, I will wake up some sixth-realm beast. You’ll have to run in different directions and hope she doesn’t go too far chasing one of you...."
"Are they scared?" Kayden’s voice interrupted Minerva, who remained silent for a few seconds without knowing what to do.
"Yes, it’s unlikely that one of them will get involved in a fight again. She must just be at a bad point in her life." Kayden gave a wave and began to take to the skies smiling.
His domain expanded and began pulling all the normal mana from over 500 kilometers towards him. Divine mana also came in high quantity. Kayden had so much mana around him that he looked like a blue ball in the sky.
His attitude took his group by surprise. He never did anything strange or disobeyed any orders, so everyone just watched Kayden pull mana like a vortex and, suddenly, they heard a sentence.
"Your existence is no longer necessary." With Kayden’s sentence, the surrounding matter began to fall apart, whether it was the air itself or the earth on the ground, everything was torn apart and turned into mana.
