Chapter 112: Nyx’s Third Authority Has Finally Awakened!
After that he looked toward Peak Iron Knight Archers. They were fully armored with dark steel plate armor, while an enchanted bow could be seen on their backs.
And they also carried a longsword and a short dagger as secondary weapons.
"Finally, a long-range support." Luke nodded with satisfaction because his territory doesn’t have any proper ranged attack method. Then he turned toward the Marinthians.
They had azure-blue skin with glowing coral patterns, and their hair was long and sea-blue with sapphire-colored eyes.
All of them were armored with Sea-forged Coral Scale Armor, while their hands held an 8-foot-tall rune-engraved sapphire coral staff, which had a sapphire crystal on its top.
After observing their skin color, Luke got confused. Because Naira was also a Marinthian, and the same went for her step-brother. ’But their skin color was normal.’
So he asked the System for an answer, to which it replied. [All Marinthians shed their blue skin color after reaching land. And in large bodies of water or in the ocean, they return to their blue color.]
[Also, some other features of the Marinthian species can only be seen in the ocean.]
The System also told Luke that this unit had just been summoned. That’s why they were retaining their original skin color, and it would become normal soon.
Luke nodded after hearing every word from the System... or that’s what he thought.
[Kekeke.]
Until he heard the System’s weird laugh, which unsettled him.
But the System didn’t care about Luke’s reaction. Instead, it asked him a question.
[Luke, do you want to know what other features Marinthians show in the ocean? Like, what your wife Naira’s form will be in the ocean?]
At first Luke didn’t care much, but when the System added the Naira part, it really made him curious. ’How will she look in the ocean?’ and this question repeated in his mind.
So he said okay in his mind, to which the System told him the answer.
[If you have thought you have seen Naira’s real beauty, then you are totally wrong, Luke...]
[Because only in the ocean can she transform into her real form, which is the Royal Marinthian form.]
Luke was listening to everything very clearly. So clearly that he was even tolerating the System’s stretched words.
But the surrounding people looked toward him with a ’Where is he lost?’ expression because he was standing there while keeping staring at the Marinthians.
Luke also noticed this, but he didn’t react, as the System was finally going to tell him the answer.
[The Royal Marinthian form is... a mermaid!]
"O_O"
Luke’s mouth literally opened wide before he hurriedly closed it. Because in his previous world he had heard about mermaids in legends and even saw them in movies.
But whenever female mermaids were mentioned, one thing definitely followed. ’In the ocean, female mermaids are the most beautiful womens.’
Yeah, beauty. And now the System was telling him that one of his wives was a mermaid.
’Damn it! If I had known it before, then I would have requested Naira at least once to show me her real form.’ Luke sighed with a regretful expression while imagining her beautiful appearance.
Though the next moment, he calmed himself down. As she was still his wife, and he would meet her again.
After that he brought out the Ascension Series and distributed the copied version to everyone. On this, everyone again became surprised.
But without changing any expression, Luke also distributed potions, like Health Potions, Aether Potions, and Iron Knight Temper Potions as well, so Iron Knights could increase their strength fast.
Sadly, Mana Pool and Health Spring liquids, after leaving them, lost most of their effects, which resulted in them becoming low-tier potions.
’I still have around approximately 900 Iron Knight Breakthrough Potions, and now they can be used.’ Luke thought while distributing.
Then he also brought out the 10 Warwalker Fortresses 🏰, so everyone could try and become familiar with them. Because he felt they would need them soon.
After all this was done, Luke turned toward Aurielle and asked, "Aurielle, do you have an Ascension Series?"
At this, Aurielle’s mood got a little down, and she shook her head and said, that before reaching Bronze Knight, no one distributed them to their younger members. "And I got exiled before that." With a lowered voice, she muttered the last part.
Seeing this, Luke felt sorry for her. So he moved close to her before hugging her gently.
Sadly, Aurielle couldn’t use those C-rank Ascension Series because he found out that her Origin Skill was S-rank. So she needed at least A-rank and above to see some change in her strength.
"I will bring the best one for you." Luke whispered those words into her ear, which reduced Aurielle’s sadness, and a small smile appeared on her face. Then she whispered,
"I know. Because my husband is the best~" Though the last part she said playfully.
On this, Luke gave her a smile and a small peck on her cheek.
When Luke hugged Aurielle, almost everyone lowered their heads. Except Vaelira and Aurora.
Luke and Aurielle stayed in that position for a few moments before separating.
"Ok! Everyone go and train! Because soon we need to remove those invaders from our territory.!"
Luke’s loud voice echoed in the vicinity, which burned flames in their eyes, and all of them slammed their fists toward their chests before shouting,
"YES MY LORD!!!"
Luke nodded at this and, with Aurielle, Vaelira, and Aurora, moved toward the center hut location to start their training.
After that, Luke separated from them and moved to a far location near the mountains. Because he was going to check his new Titan.
And with that, also going to try its combat power. "I hope something good will come."
"Why don’t you first check the new abilities?" But just as he was about to do that, Nyx and Myrkhal suddenly came outside. Then Nyx asked him.
Luke paused at this and gave them a look. ’I thought you were going to sleep for eternity.’
Nyx and Myrkhal didn’t react to his look because even Nyx didn’t know why they were sleeping too much. ’Is it related to our powers?’ he thought while looking toward Myrkhal, who had already settled on Luke’s shoulder.
’I hope this will be fixed soon.’ With that, he also settled down on Luke’s right shoulder.
"Ok." Luke said before first checking Nyx’s info.
[Nyx Skills]
Body Temper: Shadow of Nyx (First Ability)
Iron Knight: Null Veil of Nyx (Second Ability)
Bronze Knight: Authority of Severance (Third Ability) {NEW!}
"huh? You unlocked this." Nyx from the side said with a surprised voice, while Myrkhal also raised his brow at this.
Luke got confused by their reaction, upon which Nyx explained.
"Before, I was thinking why you didn’t have any of my attack abilities. But now, seeing this, I guess you don’t need them anymore." Nyx finished his sentence with a little laugh.
Luke also became curious. "What’s so special about this ability?" So he opened the System info.

[🌌 Authority of Severance]
📖 Type: Forbidden Authority
👑 Titan: Nyx, the Void Titan
⚫ "The Void recognizes no connection."
Among all the Authorities governed by the Void, "Severance" is one of the oldest and most feared. It does not create destruction, nor does it rely on overwhelming force. Instead, it rejects the invisible bonds that hold existence together.
⚔️ It simply declares that what was once connected... no longer is.
---
"Crazy!" A loud exclamation left his mouth after reading its description.
"Isn’t t-this too broken?" Luke gave both of them a look before asking this. But before Nyx could respond, the System’s voice came.
[Check the full details before asking.]
Luke got stunned before turning his attention toward the "Read more..." button. "You make them so small, and now you’re asking me to read instantly." Luke cursed the System while pressing it.
Nyx just shook his head, then also looked toward the System screen to see how much of his Authority was given.

"O_O" Luke’s mouth fully opened after reading this, not because of disappointment, though it was there but only a small part.
Still, the Physical Severance was already broken, because if a person even brought god-level armor, he could still split that apart.
Of course, Luke was overthinking the god armor part because he forgot. ⚡ Ignore part of a target’s physical durability.
Yeah, not one shot, but ignore part of the durability.
Meanwhile, Nyx nodded with a normal expression. Because he already expected Luke to not get his full Authority.
Luke finally calmed down a moment later and read the ability description again.
’So, previously my body was too weak to even use Physical Severance, that’s why it started at Bronze Knight.’ He thought after double-checking with the System, who also nodded and told him.
[The further Realm-unlocked Severance will be shown after reaching that Realm.]
"It’s fine. As I am already satisfied with Nyx’s ability." Luke didn’t care about the further Severance because he couldn’t even use them now.
After that, Luke rubbed his hands excitedly, hoping to get an even better skill for Myrkhal, the Faceless Titan.
Who just smiled with his big blue mouth.
