Beyond the Bloodline-Chapter 129: The Witch in a Galaxy Far Away.
|Partial Domain Declaration: Cosmos|
The name was one that befitted the cosmic expanse which had now displayed itself before Sanev’s eyes.
The man had seen galaxies with his eyes, as he had travelled through the space between them before, but this? This spectacle before him dwarfed any prior experience.
’Is this the Universe?’
Sanev questioned as his mind struggled to comprehend the enormity of the scene laid out before him.
The elf wondered how his brain was even able to compute that thought when faced with the sight in front of him.
As he floated there in a daze, Jamie held up not his right hand, but his left and snapped his thumb and middle fingers together.
|Aspect of the Wolf: World Devouring Jaws|
The space behind Sanev fractured open like glass and an illusory blue wolf emerged from within. The wolf’s jaws chomped on the upper half of the elf’s body and ripped it off violently.
The illusory wolf chewed on the flesh, crushing the reddish-brown orb that was the Elf’s soul under with its teeth before retreating into the crack it emerged from.
As for the remaining half of Sanev’s body, it slowly fell into a ’black hole’ that manifested beneath his feet.
|Hmm...that was nicer than I thought. |
Jamie muttered to himself before snapping his fingers. In an instant, his surroundings returned to normal, and he was back in the middle of the ruins of Sanev’s estate.
On the floor not too far from him was the lower half of the elf’s body, spurting blood all over the ground.

Jamie dismissed all the notifications that appeared in front of him, about to open up his status to check out his new level when a different notification manifested in his field of view.
[The ’Eternal of Space and Reality’ gazes in your direction.]
Seeing this, Jamie smiled wryly, not too surprised considering Jamie had channelled a small tiny bit of his real power.
"It’s been a long time."
Jamie spoke to the being who had sent an indirect message through the system before finally dismissing the notification in front of him.
"Jay."
The Hybrid turned in a seemingly random direction and Miranda saw that his eyes were shining with a starry light.
Jamie’s gaze pierced through space-time, crossing vast distances before he locked onto a certain spot in a galaxy far away.
His grin then curled up into a grin as he spoke.
|So that’s where you are, Witch. |

Unknown City
Unknown Planet
Unknown Galaxy
Year 2018
On a planet billions of light years away from where Jamie and Miranda were, a hooded figure navigated their way through the busy city streets, slipping through the crowd and into a deserted alleyway on the side.
They turned and looked left and right to check if anyone was looking, before jumping over a fence and entering the back door of a small apartment building.
The person then went down to the basement, unlocked the padlocked doors and then raised a finger in front of the still-closed door.
"Aperta."
Muttering that one word, the frame of the door lit up with the light of runes before slowly fading away.
They opened the door and closed it behind them, locking the padlocks before activating the runes once more.
"Claudere."
Seeing the runes lock, the person finally removed their hood, revealing their face to be that of a beautiful woman with a tired expression on her face.
She dropped the bags she held on a table, before tossing off her hooded cloak on the ground.
Plopping down on the couch, she heaved an exhausted sigh, before slowly, her eyelids closed and she drifted off to sleep.
She remained like this for a few minutes, when suddenly, her body’s temperature abruptly surged.
"?!"
The boundless energy within her body became volatile, surging out of her body in uncontrollable waves.
She snapped wide awake and quickly began making attempts to control the energy, but the power refused to listen to her as the waves of energy kept smashing into the walls of the room she was in, causing the lights of the runes all over to flicker dangerously.
Every second that passed, runes were destroyed and the energy that had already surged out of her body was one step closer to escaping the room’s confinement.
The woman tried her best to draw all the energy back into her body, gritting her teeth as beads of sweat dripped down her forehead.
Eventually—
**BAAM!! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
—the last rune shattered and the energy began its escape, but by this time, she had already contained most of the power.
She quickly exerted her control and pulled the rest back into her body, however, a single tiny little bit of it escaped her grasp.
The small tiny orb of energy shot out of the building, high into the sky, escaped the planet’s atmosphere and disappeared into the void of space.
"This..."
The woman understood what had just happened. The enormous power within her tried to escape her grasp and go somewhere else as if it was attracted by something.
And that could only mean one thing...
"Jamie’s awake."
It felt like a buck of cold water was poured upon her when she came to that realisation and goosebumps formed on her arms.
"Calm down, Daniella. Jamie needs you to seal the ’Blueprint’. He would not do anything as far as it concerns the ’Blueprint’."
The woman spoke to herself, taking deep breaths to calm her mind before looking at the room and all the runes on the walls that had broken.
"I need to abandon this place."
The outburst of power had alerted certain people she had been hiding from, so she quickly got to work and packed all her things very quickly.
Exactly five minutes later, a violent burst of magic power flattened the building she was on. Lightning descended from above and split the ground open, revealing the underground basement, but by that time, it was already empty.
◇ ◇ ◇
Jamie chuckled lightly as his vision returned to normal, while Miranda stared at him with her jaw wide open.
"Did you just channel your real power?!"
She grabbed Jamie’s body and questioned him in a loud voice, her shock still very much evident in her expression.
By using his Partial Domain Declaration, Jamie had stimulated his stolen power and the power quickly attempted to return to him.
However, the Witch was able to contain it and prevented the power from escaping her and returning to Jamie, but despite this, a small tiny piece of it still managed to escape.
[The ’Eternal of Space and Reality’ sends a gift.]
The moment that notification appeared, Jamie held up his palm and the space in front of it distorted to form a wormhole.
The same small tiny orb of power that had escaped the Witch’s control emerged from the wormhole and Jamie caught it in his palm, before speaking.
"Thanks for the help."
Jamie thanked his old acquaintance who shortened the journey that his power would have had to go through to reach him. In fact, it would have even burnt out without going too far due to how small it was and the sheer amount of distance between Jamie and the Witch.
"Is that...?!
"Exactly what you think it is, Mira. Looks like I keep on upping the bar for the level I need to fight Ikerth.
That Dragon ain’t gonna expect what’s coming for him."
Originally, Jamie had believed that he’d have to deal with Ikerth as an Inferior Sovereign and heavily rely on Miranda, but after his recent ’Power Levelling’, he upped the bar to the Inferior Transcendent Realm.
But now, it had gone a stage higher again.
"If you could get your power to come back then why didn’t you use the Doman earlier?!"
"Because I could not.
The only reason I could pull that off was because of my comprehensions in the laws of space, and my current state."
When he spoke about his ’current state’ he held up the bottle of Elven Race King blood and pointed to the Wolf’s ears on his head to let Miranda know that these powerups were the reason why he could activate Domain Deceleration.
Though most of the power from the blood had receded, he could only just take another glass to bump it back up.
