"Y-You! You murderer! How dare you kill Holly? You just committed a grave crime!"

"Guards! Someone, hurry up and arrest him!"

The two Grace Brothel employees clamored, accusing Dustin of being the murderer.

Their shouts soon resulted in a crowd that gathered around Dustin. Every one of them glared at Dustin angrily. They were filled with righteous indignation.

Since Holly was Grace Brothel's best card and had countless admirers, her abrupt demise left the people feeling regretful.

Of course, they were still mostly filled with hatred toward the murderer.

"How dare you commit murder in a place like this? You're digging your own grave!"

"Grace Brothel is under the Celestial Alliance. And Holly is Fenley's younger sister. There's no way you'll be able to get away with this!"

"Get down on your knees and surrender immediately, or else you'll be dealt with accordingly!"

The crowd unleashed a series of accusations. Judging from the hostile expressions on their faces, it was clear t

    However, Eleanor never expected Anders' so-called ambush would involve Holly's lifeless body. Everyone knew that Holly was Fenley's younger sister. Now that Holly was dead, Fenley would undoubtedly take action, and everyone involved in the incident would face the consequences.It wasn't only Dustin that would suffer. They would have to suffer with him. It wasn't until this moment that she realized Anders had used them. They were like pawns that could be discarded at any moment.However, at this point, it was too late for regrets. All Eleanor could do now was to firmly hold her ground and try her best to extricate herself from the situation."Are you telling me this has nothing to do with you?" Dustin narrowed his eyes."That's right. We know nothing!" Eleanor immediately shook her head."That's right. We've been framed. Please don't misunderstand!" Elena echoed repeatedly."Alright, since you claim it has nothing to do with you, then tell me, who exactly was behind this? Wh

    "Madam Lynch, are you ... You're not joking, right? Holly … really died?" Allen still couldn't quite believe it.Holly was a member of the Celestial Alliance. She was powerful and skilled at reading people. How could she possibly be killed?"Oh my! Why would I joke about something so serious? My two girls saw it clearly. Holly's body is upstairs right now. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check," Jennie said, breaking into a cold sweat. "You two, go up and check!" Allen quickly ordered his henchmen to investigate. Soon, two henchmen rushed downstairs and delivered the same grim news. Holly was indeed dead. She was killed with a single blow.Upon hearing the news, Allen erupted in anger. His fierce gaze turned toward Dustin, and he sternly said, "You! Do you even realize what you've done? You'll pay for this with your life!"True to his words, he commanded his men, "Get him! Tear him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"Holly's death couldn't go unpunished. If

    "Hmm?" Allen slightly frowned as he looked at Eleanor and Elena."No ... It's not our fault. We didn't do anything. We're innocent!" Elena fearfully shook her head as she tried to explain."Mr. Bosman, we're friends with Holly. How could we harm her? Please don't let lies deceive you!" Eleanor cried. Then, she pointed at Dustin, "It's all him! He killed Holly and shifted the blame to us. We're defenseless girls. We couldn't fight back. Please, Mr. Bosman, stand up for us! Stand up for Holly!"Allen was infuriated when he looked at their pitiful looks. "Own up to what you've done. What kind of man uses girls as scapegoats?""I speak the truth. Their hearts are more malicious than you can imagine. You'll only harm yourself and others if you trust them," Dustin warned."Nonsense!" Allen glared at him and shouted, "Everyone saw you kill Holly. How dare you argue? It seems you won't confess until there's bloodshed!"Without a word, Allen charged at Dustin. His sword sliced through

    Someone in the crowd asked, "What's happening? It's like my body suddenly got heavier."Another agreed, "Such a strong pressure. Could it be an ace arriving?"The unexpected heaviness in the air silenced the previously bustling Poise Brothel. A sense of impending disaster crept into everyone's hearts."Hmm?" Dustin raised an eyebrow as he turned to glance at the entrance. Following the tension, a tall figure in white walked in.He had sharp eyebrows, a majestic appearance, and a piercing gaze that radiated authority. He was so imposing that everyone looked at him in awe."It's Fenley! It's Fenley from the Celestial Alliance!" A surprised exclamation echoed through the crowd.In an instant, the entire Poise Brothel buzzed with excitement. A surprised voice exclaimed, "Is that Fenley? No wonder he's so extraordinary and imposing!" Another chimed in, "Wow! Seeing Fenley here is a rare honor!" Another agreed, "There's no way this matter won't be resolved today!"The crowd erupte

    They had to stick to their accusation against Dustin no matter what happened today."Mr. Hudson?" Allen stumbled over and knelt in front of him. "I'm Allen Bosman. At your service!""Holly's dead?" Fenley asked, cutting straight to the chase. "She … she's dead." Allen looked ashamed. "I arrived late for the rescue, and I asked for Mr. Hudson's forgiveness.""Worthless!" Fenley raised his hand and delivered a forceful slap to Allen's face, sending him flying. Allen coughed up blood and struggled to get up."Whoever killed Holly, step forward and face your death," Fenley said, his emotionless gaze sweeping the surroundings with a chilling coldness that cut to the bone."It's him! He killed Holly!" Eleanor pointed at Dustin angrily. She wished she could skin him alive."That's right, that's right! We saw it with our own eyes. He's the killer!" Elena chimed in loudly. "Did you kill Holly?" Fenley looked at Dustin as a chilling light flashed across his eyes."I didn't kill her. S

    "It's not important to know who I am. If you don't want to be used as a pawn, you should calm down and think. I have no grudge against you or your sister, so why would I want to harm her?" Dustin warned."That is my question to ask," Fenley said, narrowing his eyes."I have to say this no matter if you believe it or not. Someone deliberately set this up to use you to kill me," Dustin responded seriously."Who would have the guts to use me?" Fenley continued asking."The two people behind you know all about it. Why don't you ask them?" Dustin raised his chin slightly toward Eleanor and Elena, hinting at something.Upon hearing that, Eleanor immediately retorted, "Nonsense! Mr. Hudson, this person is deliberately accusing us to get out of trouble. Don't fall into his trap. You should kill him quickly to avenge Holly!""That's right. Holly won't be able to rest in peace if you don't kill him," Elena added.They wouldn't let go of the opportunity of using someone to kill Dustin."I

    From how imposing Fenley's aura was, one would be torn into pieces if they were sucked into the vortex.Everyone could only fearfully grasp onto any sturdy objects near them to prevent them from being sucked into the vortex."Fury of Wind God!" After gathering his energy, Fenley thrust out his palm.The deity-like shadow behind him mirrored the same movement.With a loud boom, the air seemed to have been split apart.The majestic energy transformed into a massive palm shadow. It looked like it was going to wreck everything in its path as it hurled toward Dustin.Wherever the palm shadow passed, a howling gale followed. The piercing wind directly sliced deep marks onto the ground.The damage it could cause was terrifying.Dustin didn't choose to dodge. Instead, he decided to challenge it head-on.He would like to see how powerful the Four Elements of God's Technique was."Black Tortoise!"With a tremble, the profound and pure energy inside Dustin instantly surged.In the bli

    "What happened? The guy didn't die?"Everyone looked at each other in shock when they saw Dustin standing in the middle unscathed.The Four Elements of God's Technique was widely acknowledged as a martial arts masterpiece. Each move and technique within it carried terrifying power. There was no way Dustin could possibly withstand it.Perhaps Fenley had gone easy on him."What? He still isn't dead yet? He's as resilient as a cockroach!" Elena widened her eyes in disbelief.Fenley's strike just now was extremely terrifying and destructive. Even someone as sturdy as iron probably couldn't withstand it. Yet, Dustin seemed unscathed. This was truly hard for Elena to accept. "Mr. Hudson must have gone easy on them. That's why Dustin was able to escape. However, there are still two more moves left. Dustin will definitely be killed by then!"After a moment of shock, Eleanor soon calmed down.Although Dustin was capable, he was nothing compared to Fenley.Eleanor was sure that Dusti

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

    Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
