CHAPTER 45: ADVANCE TO OFFICIAL VOID WARRIOR

A week later...

After completing over a dozen missions, the Crimson Phoenix squad earned a total of 4,300 contribution points.

Exchanging enough void crystals, the squad took a break as Nash focused on advancing to become an official void warrior.

"It’s done!"

Having created the Void Eye Training program, Nash activated the [Training Module System].

[Select a training program:]

[Physical Exercise] [Basic Void Breathing] [Void Eye Training]

"Void Eye Training."

Selecting the runic program, his eyes began to contract, expand, dilate, blur, and refocus repeatedly.

Feeling uncomfortable, Nash entered the runic space.

Opening the [Training Module System], he checked how long it would take for his eyes to reach 100% saturation.

---

[Void Saturation Data: 9.9244%]

[Muscles: 6.96% — 6.95]

[Bones: 1.45% — 1.49]

[Internal Organs: 0.99% — 0.99]

[Blood: 0.9% — 0.09]

[Skin: 3% — 0.3]

[Heart: 4% — 0.04]

[Brain: 1% — 0.01]

[Eye: 12.5% — 0.0125]

[Ear: 12.5% — 0.0125]

[Tongue: 12.5% — 0.0125]

[Nose: 12.5% — 0.0125]

---

[Eye — 0.0125

Training Program: Void Eye Training

Estimated Total Saturation: 90%

Estimated Time: 3 days

Estimated Cost: 270 Void Crystals]

---

"The total saturation is not enough..." Nash frowned at the data.

Even after a week of modification, the Void Eye Training could only reach 90% saturation.

Suddenly, he thought about the Crimson Eye Astral Art.

As an astral art capable of increasing void saturation beyond 100%, it should contain a method to solve his problem.

Disabling the [Training Module System], Nash returned to his body and entered the virtual world.

Sure enough, after questioning Fin and watching a demonstration, he learned an advanced method to increase the void saturation of the eyes.

A technique designed for Arleanians with impure bloodlines, it could raise the eye’s void saturation rate from 90% to 100%.

"Just perfect!"

After the Void Eye Training pushed his eyes to 90% saturation, he could apply this special method.

---

Three days passed.

Nash’s eyes finally reached 90% void saturation.

Returning to the runic space, he activated the advanced Void Eye Training.

[Senses: Eye - 90%

Training Program: Void Eye Training (Advanced)

Estimated Total Saturation: 100%

Estimated Time: 1 day

Estimated Cost: 50 Void Crystals]

"It finally worked!"

Seeing the estimated total saturation, Nash couldn’t help but feel excited.

Furthermore, with the void energy accumulating in his eyes, he was about to reach 10% overall saturation and officially become a void warrior.

[Body Saturation Data: 9.9514%]

"Soon..."

Nash no longer planned to wait for the Crimson Eye Astral Art.

According to Fin, advancing with a standard void training manual wouldn’t create foundational deficiencies.

The Astral Void Art targeted a level beyond 100% void saturation.

Thus, aside from being slightly weaker than those who advanced using an astral void art, everything would eventually balance out.

Sensing the dangers brewing around him, Nash could no longer afford to wait.

---

A day later, Nash’s eyes finally reached 100% saturation.

Returning to his body, the world around him seemed to change.

Everything became more colorful and bright, every detail appearing sharper in his vision.

Even the once-invisible void energy now shone like dazzling light, nearly blinding him.

From a distance, his eyes functioned like a telescope, zooming in on distant details with perfect clarity.

Feeling his strength surge further, Nash couldn’t help but clench his fists.

"Now, I only need to become an official void warrior."

Putting everything else aside, Nash began training wildly.

"Activate Void Breathing Method..."

Among the runic programs in the [ Training Module System], the physical exercise was more balanced out, while the void breathing method was faster.

As for combining the two, Nash didn’t have the ability.

[Body Saturation Data: 9.9614%

Training Program: Void Training Method

Estimated Total Saturation: 100%

Estimated Time: 6 days

Estimated Cost: 390 Void Crystals]

---

Six days later.

With the 397th void crystal, Nash finally reached 10% saturation.

Like a lock breaking open, void energy surged through his body, strengthening and cleansing his muscles, bones, blood, and organs.

Feeling reborn, Nash sensed his strength had increased multiple times.

Facing his past self, he could defeat him with his eyes closed.

"Finally, I’ve become an official void warrior!"

As if lifting a heavy burden off his back, Nash finally had some security.

Just then, hearing the commotion in his room, Amber, Emily, and Hector hurriedly knocked on his door.

"What’s wrong, Captain?"

"It’s nothing. I just advanced to a 10% void saturation rate."

"10% saturation?"

"Did Captain advance to an official void warrior?!"

Breaking into the room, they stared at Nash in excitement.

"Yes, from now on, the Crimson Phoenix squad finally has a void warrior!"

"That’s great!"

"Captain Nash is the greatest!"

"We don’t have to fear anyone anymore!"

With Nash’s combat ability, they even dared to challenge the top ten squads.

"Hahaha, don’t exaggerate too much." Nash smiled, knowing his limits.

He had just advanced to a void warrior and hadn’t even updated his runic module system yet.

After celebrating, the three began filling him in on everything that had happened while he was training.

It had been over ten days since the Crimson Phoenix squad last took a mission.

Looking at the empty mission board, it seemed all the Arleanians in the Astral State and surrounding areas had been wiped out.

"There’s still one left," Amber said.

"Who?"

"Myles, the leader of the Astral State and a powerful Void Commander."

"Void Commander?!"

Nash had only ever seen one Void Commander before, Abner, the leader of the Crimson Gang.

Remembering that level of power, he knew just how terrifying a Void Commander on the loose could be.

"They’re still tracking his whereabouts..."

"What about the other states? Any news?"

"Of the 190 states, only four had a Void Commander in charge—Astral, Eytah, Yore, and Kota State."

"The Void Commanders from Eytah and Yore left Earth before the Earth Horizon Alliance rebellion."

"The Void Commander from Kota State was also killed shortly after."

"Now, only the Void Commander of Astral State remains on Earth."

Listening to the report, Nash frowned.

It was just one Void Commander—how could the Earth Horizon Alliance, with over 20 Void Commanders, struggle to deal with him?

"The Void Commanders from our alliance seem to have also left Earth..." Hector added, noticing Nash’s confusion.

"Left Earth? Why?"

"We don’t know..."

"Then what happens now?"

With the backup forces left by the Earth Horizon Alliance leaders, they should still be safe.

However, having a Void Commander roaming freely in the shadows was too dangerous.
