The hustle and bustle of Oakvale faded behind them.Dustin didn't leave immediately. On a night when the moon hung clear and bright, he appeared without warning in the courtyard of Grace's private residence outside the palace. A few dishes sat on the stone table beside a bottle of wine.Dressing in a simple, elegant casual dress, she sat alone and drank under the moonlight. When she saw him, she didn't seem surprised. Instead, she smiled and gestured to the stone bench across from her, as if she'd known he'd come to say goodbye."Leaving already?" she asked casually, filling a glass for him. Dustin sat and took the glass, letting the smooth warmth of it settle in his hand, and nodded. "Yes. My business here is done," he replied.Grace raised her glass and spoke earnestly. "I truly owe you my thanks. Without you, I wouldn't have even made it to Elysium Isle, let alone obtained the immortal essence tablet to save my father."He clinked his glass lightly against hers, the crisp r

Valon slowly rose to his feet. He looked vigorous and spirited, with no trace of his earlier fragility."As expected of the immortal essence tablet. It's truly miraculous," he said with a smile, his gaze sweeping past Grace before settling on Dustin. He nodded slightly and added, "Dustin, thank you for your hard work."He knew perfectly well that without Dustin's help, he would never have been able to retrieve the immortal essence tablet."You're welcome, Your Majesty. Seeing you safe and sound means I've fulfilled my duty," Dustin replied calmly. He went on, "This journey to Elysium Isle was perilous. Princess Grace went to great lengths to find this medicine and nearly lost her life in the process. Now that Your Majesty has recovered, you should recognize both her devotion and her accomplishments."As a ruler, Valon understood exactly what Dustin was implying. When he looked at Grace again, his expression had softened with unmistakable approval.His daughter was talented in

Dustin's immortal essence light carried them a thousand miles in a blink. In less than half a day, they had crossed the endless sea and reached the central plains. He didn't linger along the coast but headed straight for the heart of Dragonmarsh, Oakvale.Below the clouds, mountains and rivers rushed past, and towns and villages spread out like a chessboard.The familiar warmth of the mortal world rushed toward them. It was a stark contrast to Elysium Isle, where paradise and demonic energy had collided into something uncanny. That place already felt like a world apart, as if it belonged to another life.Grace clutched the box containing the immortal essence tablet so tightly her knuckles turned white. Her heart raced with the thrill of finally returning home, but worry for her father ran just as deep.Dustin had said the tablet could extend Valon's life by ten years. But until she saw her father recover with her own eyes, the knot in her chest wouldn't loosen.Tristan, Matthias,

Nathaniel quickly masked his emotions. He stepped forward with a warm smile, keeping his posture low in deference."Mr. Rhys, you're truly a divine being. Not only can you subdue the demon, but you can also refine an elixir of immortality. Honestly, my brothers and I have been sick with worry over our father's health. We would give anything to take on his suffering. "Could you prepare another batch and craft a few immortal essence tablets for us as well? Name your price and whatever medicinal ingredients you require. We will do everything in our power to provide for them."Tristan and Matthias caught on immediately, echoing Nathaniel's words with equal earnestness. Their gazes locked on Dustin, full of hope.Whether for the monumental merit of presenting the cure or the promise of ten extra years of life, the reward was enough to make any of them desperate.But Dustin slowly shook his head, his tone carrying a finality that brooked no argument.He explained, "This tablet was cra

The dead silence was broken by the sound of scuffling footsteps emerging from the edge of the rubble."Someone's coming!" Rhydian snapped to attention and let out a low warning.The surviving guards instantly closed ranks, forming a protective shield in front of Grace.Dustin lifted his gaze slightly, his divine sense sweeping over the rubble. He relaxed almost immediately, as if he had been expecting them.Through the haze of smoke and fallen columns, a group of figures moved cautiously. Leading them were Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel, who had been separated from them on the island for some time.The soldiers trailing behind were noticeably fewer in number. Every one of them bore injuries, their clothes torn to rags, faces haggard with exhaustion. Whatever they'd encountered on the way here had clearly been brutal.The three brothers looked disheveled. Their fine robes were torn, crowns sat crooked, and their faces were smeared with grime and blood.Following the tremors fro

The chaotic energy around Dustin slowly unraveled, and the seven-colored immortal glow dimmed until everything settled again. He felt a massive yet controllable surge of immortal energy inside him. Instead of feeling triumphant, a heavy knot of emotion settled in his chest. The surge of power inside him carried a cost he couldn't ignore. Cyran and Terraen had sacrificed themselves, and all that remained of them was the silence they left behind.Dustin's gaze swept across the spot where they had vanished. Only scattered motes of greenish-yellow sparks lingered in the air, flickering stubbornly like the last fireflies of summer. They seemed unwilling to fade, carrying a quiet hope that refused to die.He lowered his head in silent respect, honoring their sacrifice, the protection they had offered, and the enduring spirit that would outlast the world itself."Mr. Xalvador and my young friend, rest in peace. The evil here has been purged," Dustin said quietly.His voice was calm, b
