He raised his hand toward Isaac, then pointed at himself.He then burst into laughter and said, "Brat, do you truly believe you stand a chance against me? To be honest, I don't want to kill you at this moment."Morgan's hands clasped behind his back. His expression was marked by a cold smirk."Then, you may as well leave now. Give me half a year…""No, no! They say you grow fast, much like your late father." Morgan cut off Isaac abruptly, dismissing his plea with a wave of his hand.With that, he stepped forward and swung his right hand.A blue beam of light, which was faster than anything Isaac had ever encountered, darted straight toward his heart, leaving him no opportunity to react or defend with his spiritual energy."No!" Hera's eyes widened in horror and despair as she lunged toward Isaac.But as Hera propelled herself forward, Todd, who was nearer to Isaac, reacted as well.The blue spiritual energy, which was as sharp as a dagger, impaled Todd's heart.Todd was the n

Whether it was Altair, Mizar, or Magnus, they all understood that Todd was not formally one of Isaac's men.The true nature of their bond remained a matter of debate.Head lowered, Isaac knelt on one knee beside Todd's body.His face was hidden from view. Only his slightly trembling shoulders were visible to those around.The true depth of Isaac's emotions at that moment was beyond anyone's comprehension.If Isaac had been overwhelmed by sorrow when Bobby died, this time, he was engulfed not only by grief but also by a profound sense of guilt toward Todd's death.He had once saved Bobby's life, yet Todd was never indebted to him in any way."Isaac, let Todd return to our clan's lands for burial…"Isaac interrupted Altair with a raised hand.His voice was hoarse when he said, "Bury him at Mt. Equest, next to my companion, Bobby. We'll take him back to his hometown once we have avenged him.""He once told me he'd like to be buried beneath an apple tree in his town, as the place

"Over a thousand members of the Novafur Clan were released from the underworld that night. All were freed by Morgan. Aligning with them, he nearly wiped out the entire Emerald Hall with over 300 of his loyal followers."Your father sent you out of the Emerald Gate in a dire emergency, leaving you as a legacy. Afterward, he personally led the Guardians to fight the Novafur Clan and Morgan's rebel forces. He was gravely injured after subduing Morgan."Yet, he sacrificed his life to fend off the Novafur Clan, utilizing his vital force to activate a formation that sealed the remaining clan members beneath the Emerald Gate."Tears streamed down Donovan's cheeks as he concluded his story.Then, he stood up. His gaze locked on Isaac as he proclaimed, "You've witnessed Morgan's formidable power, but let me tell you. "The Novafur Clan beneath the Emerald Gate possesses strength equal to or even superior to Morgan's. Should they break free, the world would be plunged back into ceaseless ch

"What's that guy up to?" Altair gazed at the fading silhouettes of Isaac and Hera, curious.Mizar appeared contemplative as her demeanor turned serious."Divine Stone fragments!" Magnus turned toward Altair with a revelation."Holy crap!" Altair exclaimed, stunned."Let's move. Let's synchronize our efforts with him." Magnus gestured and led the advance toward the entrance.At 4:00 am, eight guards stood watch at the eastern entrance of the Everest Sect, keeping a vigilant eye on the gate.Following Caesar's return the previous night, he had explicitly ordered his men to tighten the security. Any minor disturbance had to be reported without delay.Suddenly, a mass of black malevolence that resembled a grim firework exploding in the night struck directly at the guards at the gates with formidable force.Subsequently, a green shadow fist also made its impact.The eight guards stationed at the entrance couldn't react in time and perished instantly.Magnus and the others made the

Lucius continued evading the attack.Hera had eliminated all the surrounding guards by this point.She coldly chuckled as she turned to see Lucius being pursued by Isaac.With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a surge of purple spiritual energy directly into Lucius's path.Lucius' expression turned that of surprise when confronted with oncoming formidable spiritual energy. He bellowed, "Two against one? Shameless!""Hera, stand aside," Isaac ordered with an angry tone and blood-red eyes.Lucius narrowly evaded Hera's assault, dodging and fleeing in a different direction with desperation."Did the esteemed patriarch of the Everest Sect choose to flee when facing me?" Isaac taunted, yet he did not relent in his chase.Realizing the futility of prolonging the encounter, especially with his spiritual energy waning, Lucius wheeled around to unleash a spiritual energy attack that materialized into a tiger head.Its gaping maw aimed to devour Isaac."Blazing Sun Slash!" Isaac coun
