Isaac glanced at Heath and grunted faintly. "Bring him along."Then, he limped forward as quickly as his legs could carry him. He was worried sick about Evie. He couldn't care less about his own injuries, however severe they were.Then, Isaac's army began to leave. They also brought along their fallen allies, leaving no one behind.Linus and the Ashleigh clan glared at the retreating army, their eyes red with anger. But none of them dared to protest.Linus clenched his fists as he shuddered. His eyes were completely bloodshot.The Ashleighs had lost, and it was at a great cost. He was aggrieved, furious, offended, and helpless.Caesar and Channing dared not speak on the Ashleighs' behalf either. The Ashleigh clan's patriarch had chosen to remain silent. It wasn't Caesar's nor Channing's place to comment on the event. They'd only create more trouble for themselves.Still, they felt exasperated to see Isaac leave with Evie and the rest of his army.Meanwhile, Altair heaved a sigh
Although Isaac knew tonight's battle would be dreadful, he never expected so many elites to get hurt.He rushed out of the plane with Evie unconscious in his arms."Apothecary, hurry! Come over and take a look!" Isaac shouted as he hurried down the spiral stairs.Harry sprinted over. He held Evie's wrist, closed his eyes, and focused on feeling her pulse.When he opened his eyes, he saw Isaac staring at him anxiously.He rarely ever saw his boss so nervous. Sweat beaded on his forehead, but he broke into a grin."Sir, both mother and child are fine. Thankfully, Evie is in good health, or things would not look good. She simply fainted from shock, so it's nothing major."When Isaac heard this, he let out a long sigh. "Let's send her to the clinic right away."By the time Isaac got back to the Cloud Nine Villas, the sky was almost bright. When he walked into the living room, he found Allegra sitting on the sofa and glaring at him.Isaac was stunned. "Ally, why haven't you gone to
Isaac hadn't forgotten about that. If Leroy hadn't found out about the ambush, the captains of the Dusk Soldiers were backup candidates for the deputy general role.And indirectly, they were also backup candidates for the general role.They had almost 200 casualties. Although Leroy was dead, it was still a huge price to pay.Most importantly, if Leroy hadn't learned about their plan, the number of casualties would have been reduced by half.Who was the spy? Who was the informant? Isaac had to find out.As Dragon Two walked away, Isaac lit another cigarette and sighed. He collapsed in his chair as if all the energy had been drained from his body.He puffed out a cloud of smoke, looking exceptionally serious.He was exhausted, and his wounds hurt like crazy. But he could only think of one thing right now.When Chet appeared, he had said this one thing—if Linus killed Isaac, his entire clan would be destroyed within half a year.Why had he said that? Was it to scare Linus? It sou
Linus sat at the very front. Meanwhile, the elders of the Ashleigh clan and the various heads sat on either side of the room. They were all dressed in black. Only Caesar, Channing, Altair, and Mizar didn't have to wear mourning colors.Many more Ashleigh clan members were kneeling outside the ancestral hall.Clearly, Leroy was very well-respected in the clan before he died.At that moment, the fifth elderly man sitting on the right suddenly fell to his knees beside Leroy's body. He turned to Linus and sobbed, "Sir Linus, you have to avenge Sir Leroy! He died a horrible death!"The man was the Fourth Elder, whom Leroy had personally trained.Besides Caesar and the other family heads, all Ashleigh clan members began to kneel. They cried, "Please avenge Sir Leroy!"Linus frowned. Waving his hand, he yelled, "Shut up! What are you doing? This is a wake, not a revenge party. Sit up!"Everyone stopped crying at once. Lowering their heads, they shakily sat down on the floor.Sighing,
If it was Isabella who'd gotten into a fight, Isaac might find that more believable. But he would never believe that Erica would fight with her classmate. He knew what kind of child she was.Not to mention, all the students there were like her. They were foreign children who had to come to Cynea to study for one reason or another.Out of generosity toward foreigners, an organization had set up outstanding foreign language schools everywhere.Erica was studying at Cloudcrest Foreign Language School—a middle school.Most of her classmates were foreigners from significant backgrounds.Evie insisted on tagging along, but he said no. She'd just come home after recovering, so she wasn't in shape to go out to see others.Cloudcrest Foreign Language School was located at the border between Cloud City and Layton. It faced a lake and was surrounded by mountainous areas on three sides. Its surrounding was jaw-dropping, giving it a reputation for being a public school for "royalty" in Sout
"Or are you questioning the quality of the teachers at our school?""All of the above," Isaac said honestly.As soon as he said that, the girl eating the apple, Carmilla Downing, stood up. She pointed at Erica and spat, "She's an ugly bastard child with no mother or father. She's not even from this planet. She doesn't deserve to be in the same classroom as us."She was almost five feet three inches tall. Although she was speaking Bridgonese, Isaac understood each and every word.Erica trembled even more. She bit her lip so hard that she broke the skin, but she still remained silent. Isaac gave Carmilla an icy stare. In a cold voice, he said, "From your words, it sounds like you were the one who hit Erica."Isaac's words stunned the head teacher, Felicia Harmon. She didn't expect Isaac to be fluent in Bridgonese.Carmilla raised her head and taunted, "So what if it was me? You just want money, don't you?"With that, she took out a handful of Bridgon dollars from her back pocket
"Erica, you cannot make things up," Isaac reproached in a soft voice.To Isaac, it was normal for classmates to fight from time to time. When it came to bullies, he just had to stop the bully from picking on Erica.But it was undoubtedly wrong to wish death upon someone, at least not at Erica's age."Sir, I'm not making things up. She really will die," Erica said, biting her lip.Carmilla hung up the phone. As her parents had yet to arrive, the school principal brought a large group of security guards over.A bespectacled middle-aged man wearing a white shirt stormed in furiously. Fifteen tall security guards trailed after him with serious expressions. Cloudcrest wouldn't hire old men as security guards just for show. Those guards were actual military veterans.Felicia was so scared that she felt like she was going to wet herself. She darted over to the man and gripped his arm tightly. Pointing at Isaac, she uttered in fear, "Mr. Dickins, that's the bastard! He wants to hit us
Amid the battle, Isaac failed to notice that Carmilla had pounced on Erica with a hateful expression …Erica saw a figure coming toward her. When she raised her head and saw Carmilla's furious face, she staggered backward in fear.Carmilla grabbed Erica by the neck and began to shake her violently.She was taller and stronger than Erica.Erica was being strangled and couldn't make any sound. She waved her arms, struggling with all her might.When Felicia noticed what was going on, her eyes widened. She rushed over to separate them.After all, Isaac was still here. If he saw that Carmilla had made the first move to choke Erica, things would be bad.Felicia immediately grabbed Carmilla's arm and pulled her aside. She yelled, "Carmilla, what are you doing? You can't act rashly …"Furious, Carmilla shook Felicia off and screamed, "Go away!" Perhaps she had used too much force, but she accidentally kicked her own foot with her other foot. She cried out as she tumbled down the stai
"Ah!" Isaac let out a low, raspy scream.It hurt so much.The suffering of spiritual anguish was just as intense as physical pain, if not more so.In an hour, the Darklord lowered the intensity of the torment to a level where Isaac was in constant pain, but not killing him."You talk too much, woman. When the barrier is lifted, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of being so talkative!" the Darklord looked at Mixandrei and spoke in a sinister tone.Then, he let out a cold laugh."No rush, I've got plenty of time to wait this out with you. It's only been a few months, and I can wait alongside you for decades or even hundreds of years. Take your time and enjoy."……After finishing the statement, he stopped talking again and just sat there, using a few methods to torment.One month…Two months…One year…Two years…......In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.Isaac's spirit was tormented by Darklord for an entire decade.Over the past ten years, Isaac ha
At that moment, his words pierced Isaac's ears like a sharp knife; it was also like a blow to Isaac.It was indeed, a spiritual blow."One day, I will tear you apart and make you regret ever being born." Isaac clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and he issued a threat."Hmm?" The Darklord furrowed his brow, clearly not expecting Isaac to have the audacity to say something like that."You're gutsy, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Do you even realize the situation you're in right now? Do you really think you can pull it off?" the Darklord responded with mocking sarcasm.Over the past two months, Mixandrei stayed within a protective shield, shedding countless tears and yelling until her voice was hoarse, but it was all in vain.She could only watch helplessly as her beloved was continuously tormented, unable to do anything under the barrier.That had just as much of an impact on her."Isaac, I don't understand what you're still holding onto. You're exhausted. Why not let go an
At that moment, he had no idea how naive his words were.The Darklord quickly transported him to a dark space to torment his soul. He was coerced to submit and become a slave, and reveal all his secrets.For the first time in his life, Isaac was experiencing such torment.It was pure torment from the Darklord!It was like being better off dead than alive."Kneel, submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and become my servant. Otherwise, I'll keep tormenting you like this forever."The Darklord tormented Isaac's spirit while giving him orders.The Darklord appeared quite unhurried.Isaac was even threatened, with the implication that if he didn't agree, there would be some very inappropriate actions taken against Mixandrei right in front of him.Faced with that situation, Isaac couldn't hold back his anger and felt the urge to fight back.But he was too weak.The soul artifact buffed his spirit, but it only allowed him to contend with the Sacrificial Phase in its early st
"Who's there?" Isaac suddenly shouted in alarm.Someone nearby launched a surprise attack.Mixandrei was slightly slow to react but she chose to trust Isaac and prepare for battle together with him.Thud!A sharp flash of a blade cut through the void.They immediately retaliated with all their strength."King of Pyrois?" Isaac squinted, trying to identify.That person was covered head to toe in a black cloth, concealing the true appearance.The battle resumed. Isaac was evenly matched but soon another enemy appeared behind him.It was the King of Pyrois."Haha, Zegna, thanks for inviting me to help out. If I let him get away, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!" King of Pyrois laughed heartily."Zegna?" Isaac squinted his eyes."Could this man in black really be Zegna?"King of Pyrois and Zegna, one in front and one in back, were positioning themselves to launch an attack on Isaac and Mixandrei.At that point, the power of the soul artifact became evident once
In the recent fight, the King of Pyrois was on the weak side and it left him a bit annoyed.But it was okay.There were plenty of allies nearby."Everyone, attack!" As soon as he gave the order, two hundred guards charged continuously, wave after wave.Although they were mere mortals, the realm's blessing endowed them to pose a threat to Isaac and Mixandrei."Let's go!"Isaac wasn't willing to stay any longer. He grabbed Mixandrei and prepared to leave."You think you can get away? Not a chance!" King of Pyrois flew into the air, attempting to intercept.Isaac attempted to rip through spacetime but was thwarted because they could seal the void.That made his heart skip a beat because it would be difficult for them to leave by using the Principles of the Void."There's a gap, go that way!" Mixandrei launched an attack in another direction to enlarge the gap.Isaac followed right behind.However, the King of Pyrois was close behind, moving faster than the two of them."Get l
Just as Isaac was about to strike, a captain stopped the guard and ordered, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them in!"……"Yes." The guards behaved and followed orders.Then one of the guards whispered a threat to Isaac."Once we're in City 12, don't try any sneaky stealing. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch you!"……Isaac squinted and glanced at him as he remained silent.Isaac and Mixandrei entered the city.The streets and buildings inside the city looked just like those in the real realm.Isaac soon realized that the people living there all had a strong spiritual resilience.No wonder those guards were so arrogant. In the outside realm, anyone who dared to be that arrogant toward a high-level martial artist would be dead."The person who just allowed the two of you to enter the city without any trouble was actually the advisor. He recognized you both. The advisor would like to meet the two of you. Would two of you be willing to oblige?" At that moment, a thin
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
