They were high up in the sky under the moonlight. Even at midnight, Isaac could see the man 600 feet away, dressed in a purple-red robe fluttering in the wind.A subtle, almost imperceptible sense of dread emanated from him.Looking down again, Sevyn had long disappeared without a trace."Who are you?" Isaac raised his right hand, positioning the Skyrend Sword in front of him, as golden spiritual energy surged from his power core."Who am I?" The man in the purple-red robe looked up at the moon and couldn't help but repeat.He then laughed heartily. "I'm the ruler of the Kingdom of Vriweth. They call me... the King!"Isaac was startled. He never expected that the first person he would meet upon entering the Royal City would be the King.In the next moment, he began to surge all of his spiritual energy. An overwhelming pressure emanated from him, spreading over a radius of several miles.His grand display went completely unnoticed by ordinary people.However, the experts in var
Isaac's golden shadow fist exploded 150 feet away from Eldorado after being struck by that glimmer of gold.Abruptly, a streak of purple lightning burst forth from the exploding spiritual energy and shot upward, heading straight toward Eldorado's feet.He felt a sudden numb pain spreading through his right leg.Immediately afterward, a streak of golden light shot up to the sky. It was the Skyrend Sword that was wrapped in golden spiritual energy. It tore through the surrounding space and created a high-pitched whistle as it sped through the air, aiming at Eldorado's crotch.He was furious. With a thunderous roar, he burst forth countless blinding golden lights.Just as the Skyrend Sword was only an inch away from Eldorado, his power stopped the attack."Leave!" Eldorado roared, unleashing another surge of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy on the Skyrend Sword was shattered, causing it to fall straight down.As Isaac was still over 60 feet above the ground, he suddenly heard
In the Royal City of the Kingdom of Vriweth, there were three main authorities, nine divisions, and 24 bureaus. The core institutions among them were the three main agencies—the Regency, the Cabinet, and the General's mansion.The Regency was responsible for overseeing all officials throughout the countries. The Cabinet handled both major and minor government affairs of the kingdom. The General's mansion managed all military forces and directed the planning and execution of military operations.The Kingdom of Vriweth was a military-focused kingdom where stronger individuals held higher positions. However, the five ministers in the Cabinet were all civil officials.Eldorado appeared somewhat languid, reclining partially on the nine-dragon chair. His eyelids drooped as if he were asleep.Footsteps sounded outside the door. Soon, Clyfford, dressed in a purple-red robe, slowly entered along with an elderly man who was hunched over and walking with difficulty."Greetings, Your Majesty!
His eldest daughter had always been well-behaved, sensible, and polite since childhood. Eldorado felt genuinely happy.Remembering something, he frowned and asked, "I heard you went to Otto Mountain a while ago and got injured. Are you feeling better now?""I'm fine now. But I was unable to bring back the purple lotus root and even encountered that bear demon beast," Skylar said softly, feeling somewhat guilty.Eldorado sighed. "Out of all my children, you're the only one willing to risk your life to go to Otto Mountain to find medicine for me.""Father, do you know how I managed to survive and return to you?" Skylar suddenly looked up at Eldorado."Oh? Wasn't Leander risking his life to save you from Otto Mountain?"Skylar gently shook her head. "We were rescued by someone. It seems like he even knows the ninth-ranked fox demon beast from Otto Mountain.""Oh? Who is it? Tell me, I'll surely reward him with land and a noble title!" Eldorado was surprised.It was rare to find so
The Kingdom of Northwing was the Kingdom of Vriweth's vassal state.To show their loyalty, the Kingdom of Northwing sent countless treasures to the Royal City every year and even married a princess to a prince of the Kingdom of Vriweth.After lying dormant for over a decade, the Kingdom of Easteria was making a comeback with plans to annex the Kingdom of Northwing. By doing so, they would be able to advance into the territory of the Kingdom of Vriweth.Six months ago, Eldorado sent his commander, Zeno Schmidt, to lead the war in the Kingdom of Northwing. Unexpectedly, even Zeno faced consecutive defeats and was now even besieged.Zeno and the 300 thousand heavy cavalry were important, but even more crucial was the Kingdom of Northwing.At this moment, Clyfford spoke up, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Isaac? I suggest putting him to some use.""Go ahead.""Isaac has committed a grave crime, but his abilities are strong. We can send him to the northern part of the Bla
"If I had to choose again, I would still kill Kingsford." Isaac's hoarse voice came through.Skylar suddenly stepped forward. Grabbing one end of the spiritual energy-suppressing net, she tried to untie its knot."What are you doing?" Isaac's expression changed."I'll let you go," she said seriously.Right then, a deep voice echoed from the sky, "Your Highness, don't approach this villain!"A dagger shrouded in black spiritual energy descended like lightning, directly piercing the ankle bone of Isaac's right foot.He shuddered in pain, groaned, and looked upwards.Clyfford swiftly descended from the sky, followed closely by two subordinates from the Guardian Division.Skylar quickly stepped back, surprised to see Clyfford suddenly appearing in her yard.Upon seeing the dagger stabbed into Isaac's ankle, she frowned and turned to look at Clyfford, asking, "Lord Regent, what brings you here?""Greetings, Your Highness." Clyfford didn't see what Skylar had just done, but he felt
"Leander, go fetch the imperial doctor now." Skylar immediately stepped forward to support Isaac and turned to shout toward the room behind them.After Isaac was helped into a room, the imperial doctor examined his injuries, applied medicine, and then left.When Skylar entered the room with a set of new clothes, she saw that Isaac had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed.Seeing his stubble-covered face and his frown in his sleep, Skylar couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. She wondered how many troubles he had gone through.Isaac woke up at midnight and felt much better. When he turned around, he saw new clothes placed on the table and two maids standing quietly by the door with their heads lowered.Seeing him wake up, two maids immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Mr. Garten. Her Highness has instructed us to wait for you to wake up and assist you with bathing and dressing.""No need. I can do it myself." Isaac limped out of bed and walked over to the l
He saw Lucifer's name.Isaac abruptly squinted. Was it Lucifer he knew, or someone else with the same name?However, he didn't think too much about it. Everything would only be clear once he was on the battlefield. After putting the name list away, he turned around and lay down on the bed.The next morning, as Isaac was meditating cross-legged, he heard Hallie's cries outside."Mr. Garten..." Hallie stumbled in while crying.With his clothes in tatters and covered in bloodstains, he knelt disheveled before Isaac. Afterward, Skylar followed and entered the room.Isaac felt desperate when he saw Hallie's condition.Yesterday, Clyfford whispered that Raelynn was already in his hands. Isaac had some doubts about that. That was why he requested Skylar to bring Hallie over. It seemed like what Clyfford said was true."How is my mother? Is she alright?" Isaac immediately helped Hallie up and asked anxiously."Your mother is fine, but Mr. Alcott and I were tortured," Hallie said, his
