Like Prince Zeux, they also tried cutting into the mountain wall with their swords and circling around the base, only to find no viable route up."We’ll have to climb straight up. Prince Zeux and Kraynos have probably been climbing for a while already. We need to catch up," Isaac said, frowning and growing anxious.He could not help but feel the urgency—after all, the significant opportunity likely awaited them at the top, and two people were already close to claiming it."Has Prince Zeux and his team climbed up already?" Mixandrei scanned the surroundings.Behind the boulder, Monbrol and Jagmesh ducked their heads quickly, hiding from sight. If Mixandrei or Isaac spotted them, there was no doubt they’d be dead."They could be hiding nearby or have started climbing too, but it does not matter. Our target is Prince Zeux and Kraynos. Once they're dealt with, the others won’t be a problem."Isaac knew what Mixandrei was implying, and he replied calmly."Flame, why not shift to your

"Nice moves, but dodging one strike is one thing. Let’s see you dodge ten, or even a hundred," Prince Zeux taunted, watching as Isaac avoided his last attack with a wicked grin, readying another assault.Isaac stayed silent, choosing instead to keep moving sideways along the mountain, dodging whenever necessary.Not far off, Mixandrei observed the scene with a serious expression and decided to follow Isaac’s lead, moving sideways to avoid the attacks before attempting to climb again."Kraynos, let’s move sideways along with them, keep them from climbing up. Let’s make this hard on them," Prince Zeux suggested, his face alight with mischief."I have no interest. The unknown realm at the top is far more important to me," Kraynos replied flatly, dismissing the idea without a second thought.Prince Zeux was momentarily speechless. Kraynos had always been having a practical mindset, and Prince Zeux didn't quite like it at this particular moment. Since Kraynos refused, Prince Zeux decid

After saying that, Mixandrei took a pill herself.This type of pill was incredibly valuable and could make all the difference in battle. Only a clan as wealthy as the unicorn clan would have the means to bring out so many of them at once.Mentioning Prince Zeux and Kraynos made Isaac’s expression turn grim.In their current state, they were in no position to take on the two foes. Those two had likely already reached the summit, ready and waiting, which would put them at a serious disadvantage."What should we do? We’ve come this far, and we can’t let it all go to waste. We have to keep climbing!"Isaac asked, his voice filled with determination. There was no way he could back down now."I am not wasting energy talking," Mixandrei replied, refraining from further words as she pressed on, conserving her strength.Isaac also continued upward.The last 300 feet were grueling, each step requiring a several-second pause to gather their strength.Below, Flame had already reached his

"I am certain about it. I’ve been inside, and I know exactly what’s going on in there. You have to believe me!" Kraynos struggled to speak, gritting his teeth."You answered too quickly. Not convincing enough." Isaac sneered, then sliced into the muscle of Kraynos’s calf with another slash.This was the 78th cut out of the 3,000 cuts he intended to do. He was planning to use this to slowly force the truth from Kraynos."You damn fool! I’ll haunt you even if I die!" Kraynos wailed and cursed, writhing in pain."Forget it. Let’s finish him," Mixandrei said suddenly."At this rate, we won’t get anything conclusive. We might as well go in and see for ourselves."Isaac frowned and paused, thinking that she had a point. At this stage, avoiding all risk wasn’t realistic.Sometimes, risk and reward went hand in hand. Whether fortune or disaster awaited them in the Blood Fiend Realm, no one could tell. They could be walking into certain death at the hands of Prince Zeux, but they had to

As soon as Isaac pulled her into the purple glow, Prince Zeux was stunned.He strained his eyes, trying to see clearly, but in that fleeting moment, he could not discern much.He attempted to intervene, but the purple radiance, seemingly matched with his strength, deflected his blood-colored demonic spiritual energy and massive blood aura. This left him, who had been laughing wildly and reveling in his victory just moments ago, red-faced and seething with rage."Isaac! Are you still alive? What is that thing? Show yourself; do not hide like a coward!"He roared furiously, unleashing his full power to strike at Isaac.But it was too late. Isaac had already taken Mixandrei into the purple glow, vanishing in the next instant.In that final split second, Prince Zeux managed to catch a glimpse of what that purple radiance was—a gate, identical to the Blood Fiend Realm's gate, from which this blinding light had burst."A second realm appeared and took him away?" Prince Zeux’s eyes wid
