Damon stood in the middle of the room, enjoying Freya's warm and gentle embrace at his side while he assessed the situation deeply. The entire room was half destroyed duo the battle, and Rokn's broken body lay on the ground, a massive amount of blood surrounding it. Damon saw his personal weapon, BloodReaper, covered in the blood of Rokn and smiled.

"ARISE!" Damon said, his voice deep. An aura of death descended upon the room as Damon spoke this words, and his eyes glowed purple, a similar coloured aura surrounding his body.

A dark, ghastly aura surrounded Rokn's body as a firm but slender purple shadow hand peered out of the darkness that covered the Palace Hall's floor. More and more of the purple shadow's body parts had pierced through the darkness covered Palace Hall's Floor and before long, Rokn's entire body was present as a newly formed Shadow Soldier in Damon's army.

Rokn knelt down in front of Damon, bowing to his Monarch as a sign of respect. Damon nodded with a smirk and swung his arm, sending all his Shadow Soldiers back into his own Shadow for the time being.

"Take a short break to regain energy, then we'll challenge Vayne." Damon said to Freya, who was busy gently playing with Damon's cute hair with her slender hand. Freya nodded and created a Portal back to the World Spirit Space for her to rest, entering it after giving Damon a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Now that Damon had a short break while recovering, he decided to check out some of his more recent Sign-In Rewards.

[ Blacksmithing Master Knowledge Codex - A Codex containing knowledge of an Ancient Primordial Blacksmithing Master.

Damon read through the different Sign-In Rewards and smiled as they would all be immensely useful to his journey to become the strongest being in the World. Damon accepted the rewards. A torrent of information related to BlackSmithing poured into Damon's mind. Weapon Materials, Weapon Enchantments, Techniques, Forms...dozens of types of information poured into Damon's mind and it lasted for around 5 minutes before finally stopping.

Next Damon accepted the Key to the Plane Of Extinction. A crystal key that emitted a unique unsettling aura surrounding it appeared in Damon's hand. Damon inspected the key, trying to find any other unique points but didn't find any. Afterwards, Damon sent the key into his Eternal Storage Ring.

Finally, Damon accepted the <Primordial Eternal Heart>. A beautiful heart appeared in Damon's hands. The heart was multicoloured, with Shadow Purple, Angelic White and Brilliant Golden colours.

Damon lead the beautiful heart towards his chest, and the heart slowly seeped into his chest and began merging and overtaking Damon's current weaker heart. As this was happening, Damon felt a tyrannical pain relentlessly wrecking through his body. It was as if all of his muscles, bones and cells were being obliderated and reformed over and over again.

Damon also felt as if his veins were being stretched and reformed continuously and Damon began to bite his lip to stop himself from screaming. Damon could feel his body getting stronger and stronger and his mana reserves and purity increasing more and more.

Freya flew out of the World Spirit Space and held Damon's body in her arms, laying Damon's head onto her lap while her arms gently poured healing magic into Damon's body to reduce the pain and help him calm down.

Damon could feel Freya's actions and greatly appreciated them, slowly closing his eyes and going unconscious in Freya's arms. Before that, he unleashed all of his Shadow Soldiers, making sure they surrounded him and protected him while he merged with the <Primordial Eternal Heart.>

****************

Around 30 minutes passed before Damon had finally awoken. His merger with the <Primordial Eternal Heart> had been successful and Damon could already immediately feel the immense effects and benefits that the Heart had given them.

Damon's body felt much stronger and much more responsive. Damon could feel that he could move much more quickly and with much more power. His Mana and Aether had become immensely more pure and Damon could tell that his ability to control his Mana and Aether had increased dramatically. Damon had never felt so powerful before.

Damon sent a couple of punches throughout the air.

~POW~POW~

Sound booms echoed throughout the air after every single punch Damon had fired throughout the air. Damon stretched his body more and tested out just how powerful he had gotten. Damon could also feel that he could tap into more of Ashborn's power, and could active his Monarch's Domain now as well as Shadow Exchange.

With this level of power, Damon was much more confident in his ability to battle and defeat Vayne. Damon, Freya and his Shadow Soldiers moved towards the room on the top floor of the Palace where Vayne was located.

Damon stood in front of the room where Vayne was located, taking a deep breath as he looked towards Freya and his Shadow Soldiers. Damon could tell Vayne was completely still, and presumed that Vayne had already sensed him and was awaiting him.

Damon slowly entered the room. What had greeted him inside the brightly illuminated room was the sight of a cloaked, handsome young black haired man. The man was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, and a gigantic claymore was strapped across his back.

The man had his eyes closed, and a calm and undisturbed look was on his face as if he didn't care about Damon's presence at all. Damon could feel the tyrannical, immense aura that Vayne was emitting and was impressed at Vayne's immense power.

"How impressive." A dark, brooding voice was emitted from Vayne's mouth as he spoke, his eyes still closed as people would think he was ignoring Damon if he wasn't talking.

"You managed to kill Rokn, not alot of people could've done that. Why don't we celebrate with your DEATH!"

After saying so, Vayne stood up and gripped his Claymore, slashing across the room, a black wave of terrifying darkness shot toward Damon and enveloped the surrounding space in darkness.
