""What is it that my tea time couldn't wait for? This better be good, Mel!" In the meeting chambers of one of the four generals of Harijoh, General Mel had called upon the two other generals for a meeting. General Mel was a tall and boisterous woman known for her ruthlessness and savagery in the entire region. General Axel, the short, muscular man who complained earlier, had his feet placed on top of the meeting desk as he kept whining about being summoned to the meeting as he placed his two broad swords on the desk. "Now now, Axy. I'm sure Mely has a good reason for summoning us; let's hear her out."" The one who spoke this time was General Gantala, the youngest of all the four generals, famous for his cunning tactics in war and recon. "It's Axel! Pff whatever, carry on, Mel!" "Thank you for coming on such short notice; I will cut straight to the point."She places a map on the desk and spreads it open as he continues."My spies have spotted the ark of our culprit around this

"Krystal Shadows, you are hereby sentenced to death for the murder of Yusaku Ona."Before the confused-looking Krystal could respond, Yuri charged at him with incredible speed.Only Krystal and Vladmir could react to this showcase of speed as the targeted Krystal jumped out of harm's way, barely dodging a slash from the attacker's Fellium sword."Wait! I didn't kill Yusakukar.""""Resorting to lies now, are we? And it's Yusaku Ona!""Ahhhhhhh! I've got to get to safety!"Justin screamed as he dashed the other way. "Tsk that coward!" Reginal scoffed.Yuri and Krystal, on the other hand, were exchanging blows. It was more like Krystal was barely avoiding all of Yuri's attacks. "You're the worst kind of trash who can't even recall the names of your victims!" Yuri channeled his aura into his sword as he took a pose with the sword sitting on his shoulders."Dai style: Eclipse slash!"He swung his sword down, creating a powerful shockwave of anima that sent Krystal flying as he crashed

Sparks erupted as the clashing of hard metallic boots met the sword forged from an unbreakable substance.Grover panted heavily as he gazed upon his opponent, who also struggled to catch his breath.For the past ten minutes, they have been exchanging attacks and countering each other without landing a single blow.Despite their exhaustion, neither had sustained any damage.Both lacked the ability to utilize aura techniques reserved for those with vast energy reserves, resorting instead to doping to enhance their physical capabilities beyond human limits, straining their bodies in the process.Moreover, they augmented their doping with the power of their relics: the Hermes boots, granting near-lightspeed abilities, and the Lupin Hat, replicating the powers of other relics, such as the boots, transforming into an identical pair."The combined speed buffs are remarkable. How did the demon spawn keep up with him in his weakened state?" Grover thought, his respect for his captain deepening

darkness that could send shivers down anyone's spine. The two commanders were facing each other in the pitch-black room. Krystal, who had seismic sense, was effortlessly navigating through the dark environment. In contrast, Sasha struggled to block some of Krystal's attacks. It was a completely one-sided battle as she tried to heighten her senses to keep up with him.Krystal skillfully employed the black zone as one of his assassination techniques. His decision to use it again demonstrated just how formidable Sasha was as an opponent. At the beginning of their confrontation, Sasha dealt significant damage to Krystal using her scythe, which directly drained power from his soul.For someone like Krystal, who is accustomed to various forms of pain, this experience was excruciatingly agonizing, similar to what he usually feels when trading his life force for more power from his artifact.As he activated the black zone during their fight, he thought, 'If I don't act fast enough, she'll t

"Oh my goodness! What is your intention? exclaimed Krystal, who arrived with Sasha just in time. He swiftly intervened and prevented the blade from piercing through the chest of the captured general.Without giving anyone a chance to react to his sudden arrival, Krystal delivered a powerful punch that sent Yuri flying across the room."What on earth do you believe you are engaging in?scolded Krystal sternly."What in the world do you think you're doing!?""Tsk, it's none of your business," scoffed Yuri, avoiding eye contact with Krystal. "This is the only way for justice to prevail."He got back up and wiped Krystal's blood splattered all over his face from when he stopped the sword with his bare hands."Justice? You think killing him is justice?" Krystal took a few steps forward until he was standing face-to-face with Yuri."Sasha, what are you doing here? Did you bring the enemy here?""Jacob, I know this may sound selfish, and I know how far you all went for me, and I'm very grate
