" I will make it ! '' Isiah said as he was creating a magical dark barrier in front of him, it was ten times bigger than him and stronger, it took him two months to learn the language thanks to Eijar, and even when he did he was not able to speak it fluently, he was able to read it and cast spells with it but to speak with someone it was still difficult.

Eijar assisted him through that for more than 2 months, at first he found it very difficult because it didn't sound like anything he heard before, yet he spent all his time there learning and practicing spells along with Eijar .

He learned at the beginning that the place he was in was the first layer of the world beyond which the name is translated to Summit in his language.

Summit is the first layer of the world beyond and there were three more, in contrast to the old globe Summit here is the smallest one among the other layers and that is why the waterfall is ended in layers underneath.historical

There was no sun, no mornings, nothing to indicate time, and also no concept of time which Isiah found very irritating at the beginning .

There was no concept of time, as a former human he just couldn't adapt to that fact, he could be reading the grimoire then think to himself that it might be 2 hours since he started, but Eijar always said to him :" Here, in Summit, and in all the world beyond the concept of time doesn't exist, we are not like you human, it is something that you created, it is more like a social construct, having days to past and things to do seemed always relieving for you .

However, here, creatures were introduced to this concept after the opening of the portals.

At first, they found it confusing, however now they started to measure the time they spent here between each full moons. Their calculation is not that right but they give an estimate now.

But yeah, that is applied only on the creatures who leveled down, those who didn't die and yeah stopped existing "

A lot of things were confusing him, and the longer he stayed there the more he knew that his body started to adapt so fast,

He already learned so many summoning spells for swords and dark weapons, he started to create shields to protect himself, and now he was able to create a shield 10 times his body.

The thing is his dark energy was more than his divine energy however in terms of comparison, he didn't know whether he was stronger than others or not .

The food here was the worst part, none suited his taste as a human which made him starve for what was equivalent to days, he was also so thirsty yet he didn't find anything to drink.

Eijar told him that he needed to stack all that he needed before coming to the Summit, at least that's what Lucas Duncan did whenever he came here .

But in the meantime he tried to force himself to practice and study, it took so long but exploiting his body and mind to the fullest made him feel a sense of achievement he didn't have his entire life .

For the first time, Isiah Duncan was doing something for himself, and he was extremely happy about it .

" Maybe you should find something to eat, like a real thing, living on that crusty grass from the forest is not going to do any good to your body, maybe just summon an animal and kill it "

" I am fine like that !" He said while being disgusted with the idea itself.

" Well, I had my meals and I feel stronger but the quality of your energy is deteriorating "

Isiah at that moment remembered that she could feel anything related to him, and he also remembered her drinking his blood without being affected like other creatures from this world.

He felt curious about it so he said:'' I don't think that I have thought about it much, but why are you not hurt by my blood ? Are you somehow immune or something?

" No, I am able to endure it because of the contract, basically the contract between us revolves about a lot of things, among them blood, your divine energy doesn't hurt me because of that " Eijar explained to him .

Isiah nodded his head and then continued perfecting his shield with a look of determination in his eyes .

" Maybe you should take rest, your body condition is not that great, and let's be realistic here you are not going learn everything gin this small period, the triple full moons is about to happen, they announced who was going to transport to the world beyond"

" meaning ? do you think I care about such a thing, I will leave this place with those who are going, just like the other time " he said very angry.

" You think that it is as easy as that ! well, honey, this time is different the last time you went with the winner of the judgment weak because you were still on the superficial layer, and you had a connection that made that possible, someone wanted that and they allowed you to go but no more " Eijar said sarcastically .

" But I want to go this time, when they first made these combats I was not strong and well informed to do such a thing but this time, I guess I could stand a chance "

Eijar didn't say more she just crawled away from him to go and hunt something to eat, in the past time she became a little bit bigger , she still didn't reach her previous body shape but she was going to.

The only thing that kept her from growing fast was his lack of energy because Lucas was much stronger than him, he couldn't even be compared to him .

Isiah said this time to her as she was moving slowly:" I don't care about the rules anymore , Isiah Duncan is not going to sit tight and rule his fucking life again"
