Chapter 2014
Author: Marina Vittori
As Alexander took on the role of the challenger, Damien felt at ease. However, Dustin's skill surpassed that of a mere grandmaster, more akin to the mid-level of a grandmaster.

"Don't worry, Mr. Howler," Alexander reassured confidently.

He added, "This kid's got talent, but I'm no pushover. In the southwest, you're the only one who might outclass me. The rest aren't even worth considering."

Damien was the top dog in the southwest. Alexander had lost three sparring matches and felt he couldn't measure up to Damien. As for the other contenders, Alexander dismissed them without a second thought.

Despite Dustin's impressive talent and strength, Alexander considered him too young to pose a real threat.

Unlike Dustin, Alexander had been honing his skills for over a decade, firmly standing at the grandmaster level. He was not someone a young buck like Dustin could easily shake.

"Sure thing! Since Mr. Forge is ready to jump in, go ahead and have some fun with this kid." Damien nodded.

    The longsword planted before Dustin hummed incessantly as he formed hand seals. His movements were so fast they blurred into afterimages.The mystical pure energy around him, which had dimmed during the fierce battle, didn't falter. Instead, it now roared to life with even greater depth and restraint, resonating with the fundamental laws of creation itself.Dustin no longer relied on his own internal energy but had become one with the cosmic order."By the Celestial Host Judgement, I command you! Mystical Seal, lock away this evil!"His voice rang low but commanding, each word carrying the weight of divine decree. As the final word left his lips, the longsword planted in the ground erupted with dazzling cyan radiance that shot straight into the sky.Ghostly outlines of the Celestial Host began to shimmer in the void above the platform, which had long been cloaked in the spiritual mist of Vitalis Pool and the malevolent energy of the sealing rift.The vast, ancient, and majestic s

    "Take your positions and protect the princess!"Rhydian gritted his teeth against the searing pain clawing at his mind and let out a raw, guttural roar. He and the two other guards summoned the last reserves of their internal energy to form a makeshift triangular defensive formation, shielding Grace, Judith, and the dying Cyprian behind them.But they all knew that before these four terrifying puppets, their defense was as flimsy as paper. Still, the fight could erupt at any moment.…Deep within Elysium Isle, the opulent palace remained untouched by the chaos outside. Wine and meat flowed freely, and the decadent music never stopped playing.Malthor's figure appeared silently on his enormous white recliner, as if he had never left at all.Lysander stopped playing his lap harp and asked with a smile, "Malthor, you're back?" Talmor and Valindra also turned their gazes toward him.Malthor ignored them. He merely reclined lazily, casually accepting the wine offered by a woman a

    After passing through the dead zone, a breathtaking sight unfolded before them. At the end of the path lay an enormous circular platform constructed from white stone.The platform floated above the waters of the Vitalis Pool. It was surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, with spiritual energy condensing in the air like rain. At its center was a spring no more than ten feet wide. What flowed from this spring was not ordinary lake water, but concentrated spiritual liquid so rich it couldn't dissolve and shimmered with seven-colored radiance. It turned out this was the source of the pure vitality and spiritual energy.The moment they crossed through the Chaos Realm and stepped onto the platform, the pure spiritual energy brought no relief. Instead, a pressure heavier and more terrifying than Thymaleon's, or the chaotic laws themselves, pressed down on them like a mountain.At the center of the platform, the spring still shimmered with seven-colored spiritual liquid. Above it, the se

    The area felt like a dead zone where the laws of reality itself had broken down. It was a place where even the natural order turned hostile.Cyprian, already weak and missing an arm, could no longer hold on. When the gravity suddenly doubled, his already weakened body could no longer maintain balance. Combined with the horrifying illusions constantly flashing through his mind, his foot slipped. He cried out as he fell toward the lake filled with spatial rifts."Cyprian!" Judith shouted, lunging to grab him, but a chaotic gust of warped air threw her back.Just as he was about to plunge into certain death, a figure in blue appeared beside him like a ghost.Dustin grabbed the back of Cyprian's collar with one hand. With the other, he formed a sword finger and traced several swift motions toward a seemingly calm area ahead that actually concealed densely packed spatial rifts.A low hum resonated as a strange ripple of energy spread outward. The twisted space seemed to flatten as if

    "Let's move. We shouldn't linger here," Dustin said. He took the lead, stepping onto the slippery and dilapidated path with steady strides.However, Grace could sense that the energy waves surrounding him had become even more restrained than before. It was as if he were accumulating strength to face whatever unknown challenges lay ahead.The group followed in silence, the atmosphere thick and suffocating. Rhydian and the other two guards gripped their weapons tightly. Their eyes scanned the churning crimson lake, alert for anything that might surge from the depths.Judith supported Cyprian, whose condition was worsening by the minute. The corrosive effects of the dragon blood malevolent energy were causing his remaining vital energy to drain away. His eyes were beginning to lose focus.As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change in disturbing ways. The once clearly demarcated boundary between the deep blue lake waters and the corrupted crimson zone started to

    "You guys go first. Follow the stone path and don't stop," Dustin commanded in a low voice.Realizing that defense was no longer an option, he withdrew the disk of light and charged forward instead of retreating. His body shot ahead like a flash of cyan light toward the storm of light beams.His longsword sang as it left the sheath, a sharp, resonant note that cut through the roar. With a flick of his wrist, a torrent of sword light burst forth, forming a rippling cyan barrier in front of him.The beams struck the barrier in a deafening rhythm of metal and thunder, each impact exploding in blinding flashes.Most of the attacks shattered against the barrier, but a few slipped through. They slammed into the lake behind him, sending up columns of crimson water and cracking a section of the stone path underfoot.Rhydian and the others watched with their hearts in their throats, but none dared slow down. Bracing himself against the trembling ground, he shielded Grace, Judith, and Cypri
