Reborn As Noble

Power poured into him like a tidal wave—overwhelming, addicting, corrupting. His body trembled, eyes widening with the intoxicating sensation of strength unlike anything he had ever known.

Zephyra watched from her throne-like seat, her smile cold.

Kenjirou stood in the center of the chamber, his body trembling as the power surged through him like a roaring storm. It wasnʼt just energy—it was divine. Tremendous. Vast. Something primal, ancient, and deeply unnatural.

He could feel it coursing through every vein, every fiber of muscle.

His breathing grew heavier.

”This... this is more than anything Iʼve felt before…” he muttered, wide-eyed. ”Stronger than the blessing I received from the Three Saints… even stronger than when I was first summoned to this world.”

He clenched his fists—both of them.

His new left hand responded perfectly, glowing faintly with an ethereal aura as it radiated untamed mana.

”After I lost to that brat… after I lost this hand…”

He raised his arm toward the sky, laughing madly.

”NOW IʼVE GAINED MORE! This strength—THIS is what I needed!!”

”NOW I CAN CRUSH THE ENTIRE ARMAND FAMILY!!!”

The elite warriors around him stood silently, tense. Even they could feel the pressure he now exuded—overwhelming and unstable.

But Zephyra only smirked, lounging elegantly on her seat as if everything was proceeding exactly as she had planned.

”Not yet, my love,” she said sweetly, her voice both calming and commanding.

Kenjirou turned toward her, still pulsing with raw power. ”Yes, my queen?”

Zephyra rose slowly, her gown shimmering in the divine light left behind by the ritual. She stepped toward him, placing a soft hand on his chest.

”Thereʼs something you must do first.”

”What is it?”

”We must hunt down all the Celestial Vessels. One by one. Their power lies dormant across this world—hidden within people, sealed in ancient temples, waiting to be claimed.”

She leaned close, her breath brushing his ear.

”Once youʼve absorbed all of them, once they all belong to you... then, and only then, will you have the strength to truly crush anyone you desire.”

Kenjirou grinned, bloodthirsty. ”Then Iʼll destroy them all. Iʼll take their power. And then Iʼll wipe out Javier De Armand and everything connected to him.”

Zephyra smiled sweetly, her eyes gleaming with cold calculation.

Yes... destroy them all, my love...

All the Celestial Vessels… all the kingdoms…

All… except me.
