Albus recalled his sword and stood still, his gaze cold as it settled on Karos."Last time at the Glacial Abyss, you got away," he said calmly. "That won't happen again this time."Karos' face was drained of color. All his earlier arrogance vanished as he staggered back, panic taking over."Retreat! Fall back now!" he shouted.The Jornell family forces broke instantly, scattering in disarray as they fled into the night.Albus didn't pursue them. He just stood there and watched until they disappeared out of sight."Why didn't you kill them?" Scarlet asked in confusion.He glanced at Dustin. Seeing him nod, he spoke calmly."Let them go back and report. The Jornell family's true experts haven't appeared yet. Killing a few lackeys now would only put them on guard."Blanche walked toward Dustin and gave a respectful nod. "Mr. Rhys, we arrived late."He shook his head with a faint smile. "No. You came at the right time. Thank you for stepping in."A faint blush appeared on her fa

Dustin had no cultivation, but setting up the formation relied on understanding how it worked. Over the past few days, he had studied many common restrictions and formations scattered across Mount Aethermoor. So, when he began adjusting the formation now, his movements were precise and controlled.As the formation shifted, the rogue cultivators attacking from outside immediately sensed that something was wrong. The formation, which had seemed ready to collapse moments earlier, suddenly stabilized and even began to show signs of backlash against its attackers."What's going on?" the leader of the rogue cultivators asked with a frown. "Didn't you say this formation wouldn't last much longer?""Boss, should we just rush in?""Rush my ass. Our job is to stall them until—"Before he could finish speaking, a wave of battle cries erupted in the distance as Grace finally moved with the main force."Charge!"At her command, the Sovereign Aegis surged forward and rushed straight into th

"Anders might not have set things in motion himself, but this definitely traces back to him. The Quiton family could be involved, too," Dustin said.Scarlet said urgently, "Even if we know it's a trap, we can't just abandon Adam and the others.""We're not abandoning them," he replied. "But we're doing this with a plan."He quickly added, "Grace, you take the main force and move in from the front to mount the rescue, but don't rush straight into the fight. Stay on the outer perimeter first, observe the situation, and delay as long as possible. Scarlet, you come with me. We'll take another route.""Another route?"Dustin pointed to a location on the map. "Here. This leads to the far side of the ruins. If we can go around it and sneak in from behind instead of the front, we might catch them off guard."Grace looked at him with a complicated emotion flickering across her face. She finally understood why she still relied on him even after his cultivation had been sealed because his

After Anders left, Scarlet couldn't help but speak up. "That man's smile feels so fake. You can tell at a glance he's not a good person.""Anders really isn't someone to underestimate," Adam said in a low voice. "I looked into him before. He didn't gather so many people in such a short time just because of the Mosey family's reputation. He's cunning and ruthless, the kind of opponent who is extremely difficult to deal with."Grace turned to Dustin and asked, "What do you think?"He considered it carefully before answering, "Anders claimed he came here on his own to pay a visit, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Quinton family wasn't behind it. "The Quintons want to support Sir Mosey's ascension to the throne. For them, your status as a legitimate royal blood makes you both an obstacle and possibly a useful pawn."Grace let out a cold laugh. "They want to use me as a pawn? That depends on whether they're capable of it.""In any case, we should be careful," Dustin said. "Ander

Grace looked slightly surprised before asking, "What do you mean?"Dustin lifted his gaze toward the unreachable summit. "I can't say for certain," he said. "It's just a feeling. This mountain is older than anyone can comprehend. Even its existence feels like a mystery. "And those reclusive families, like the Quintons, clearly know things we don't. Their determination to climb the mountain can't simply be about acquiring a few treasures."After a brief silence, Grace replied, "Whatever they're planning, we can only deal with it one step at a time. At the very least, we're still alive."He turned to her and smiled faintly. "You're right. Survival comes first. Everything else can wait."The two of them sat side by side, looking out over Mount Aethermoor under the cover of night. In the distance, the occasional roar of demonic beasts echoed through the mountains, sometimes followed by a distant scream from somewhere unseen. Each sound reminded them that beneath the night's calm

Scarlet instinctively tightened her grip on the Wildfire Spear, but Dustin lightly pressed her wrist, signaling her not to act rashly.Elowen stepped toward the stall. Without even sparing the burly vendor a glance, she tossed down a pouch of celestial stones and reached for the sword."Hold it!"A voice cut through the air.Another man stepped out from the crowd. He appeared to be in his early 30s, wearing a blue-violet robe, and had a cold, predatory look on his face. Faint arcs of lightning coiled around his body, the unmistakable bearing of the Jornell family.He said with a strained smile, "Miss, the baleful aura on that sword conflicts with the stormcraft my family cultivates. It would make an excellent subject for study. Why not let me have it?"Only then did Elowen lift her gaze to look at him. Her eyes were as cold as frost."Who do you think you are?" she shot back. "You think you're worthy of competing with me for it?"The man's expression immediately darkened. "Don'
