After nightfall, Isaac and Evie bid farewell. Then, he took off from the yard and sped off toward the northwest.Soon after, Tavon Doyle quickly walked into the palace. He bowed toward Ceolmund, who was half-lying on a dragon bed being massaged by four beautiful palace maids. "Your Majesty, Isaac has left.""Are you sure?" Ceolmund immediately sat up.Tavon nodded. "I can sure. The city sentries reported that they saw Isaac flying toward the northwest."The spies outside Earl Beischel's mansion have also reported back. I've calculated the timing. It aligns perfectly. Now, it's only Hallie and that crazy woman left in the mansion.""Well done! Tavon, I'm entrusting this task to you. But don't let anyone else know about our meeting. Take the experts from House of Custos with you!"After succeeding, secretly escort them to the palace. By tomorrow morning, Lord Hackworth's people should arrive," Ceolmund murmured.Tavon nodded and immediately walked outside.Ceolmund's eyes flashed
Tavon widened his eyes with shock. After leaving last night, he had secretly positioned spies around Earl Beischel's mansion.He saw Isaac fly out from the backyard, heading straight northwest.The guards by the city gate confirmed it as well. Isaac had truly left. How had he come back?"I-Isaac Garten, don't get me wrong. I-I just wanted to invite Mrs. Garten...""It's useless to argue!" Isaac roared, leaping over 30 feet off the ground and diving toward Tavon in the corridor below.A wild and overwhelming aura rushed toward Tavon like a massive flood. He quickly dodged and ran, crashing through the door of the room behind him. He dashed into Hallie's room, attempting to escape from the back.With a loud crash, he burst through the window. But in the next second, a giant golden hand appeared, grasping his throat tightly.Isaac radiated a wild, golden spiritual energy, pressing down on Tavon. The latter couldn't break through, and his breathing was also obstructed. His body bega
Ceolmund squinted sharply and looked over at Tavon.Tavon dropped to his knees, shaking all over and too scared to meet Ceolmund's gaze.Suddenly, from the right side of the palace, some powerful spiritual energies approached. A group of tall men, all dressed in identical black woolen coats, descended from the sky and landed in front of Ceolmund."Isaac, do you think you alone can deal with the entire Kingdom of Northwing?" Ceolmund said sinisterly, squinting at Isaac.Isaac didn't speak. His spiritual energy abruptly became extremely violent, and flashes of golden light appeared in his eyes.The surrounding guards, the experts from the House of Custos on the steps, and even Ceolmund all began to feel Isaac's increasingly terrifying aura."Then let's give it a try!" Isaac suddenly roared and leaped into the air.As he leaped into the air, he swung his Skyrend Sword multiple times, sending several golden sword beams toward the guards ahead.The sword's spiritual energy burst for
Ceolmund realized that there was nothing more he could do to resist at this point.An intermediate-stage Divine Phase expert was nothing to Isaac and was easy to kill.The House of Custos was the institution in the Kingdom of Northwing with the most powerful individuals, but now most of them were dead. It was important to understand that cultivating or recruiting a strong expert in the early stages of the Divine Phase required an immense amount of resources."I was wrong!" Ceolmund slowly uttered.The people behind him, including Seward and several experts, were stunned. They didn't expect their king to kneel and admit his mistake to Isaac."Where did you go wrong?" Isaac asked, looking at him coldly."The mistake lies in shielding Deveraux and having improper intentions toward your woman," Ceolmund replied softly.Isaac squinted slightly as if he were deep in thought."Then kill him now," he suddenly spoke, pointing toward Seward behind him.Seward's eyes widened as he saw Ce
Ceolmund was startled and nodded frantically.The next morning, the people sent by Clyfford arrived at the palace. There were four of them, all hailing from the Guardian Division of the Kingdom of Vriweth.Ceolmund followed Isaac's instructions. He found a female prisoner in the jail, dressed her up, and handed her over to the other party.Despite being warmly hosted by Ceolmund for lunch, the four of them quickly departed to report back to the Kingdom of Vriweth after capturing the person.As the sun set, it started snowing heavily again. Isaac put on his wool coat and wrapped it around Evie. Standing on the steps, they watched the heavy snowfall before them.Neither of them spoke. They were both silently cherishing the brief moment that belonged to the two of them. Soon, the sound of horses and carriages came from outside. A group of elite soldiers entered and stood on both sides of the courtyard.Kyler, dressed in a long red-purple robe, dashed in from outside.He quickly wal
Overall, the Upper Martial Realm was much larger than Earth, though Isaac didn't know exactly how much larger.Judging by the scale on the map, the Black Desert was as large as hundreds of miles wide from north to south. It was over 1,000 miles long from east to west and lay between the Kingdom of Northwing and the Kingdom of Easteria.Isaac, enveloped in golden spiritual energy, was flying swiftly toward the northwest at high altitude.Setting off from the Kingdom of Northwing, he could reach the edge of the Black Desert after flying for a day. After that, he would need to elevate his flight altitude.Clyfford assigned himself the "task" of killing the enemy's commander, Elon Ramirez. Even if Isaac didn't think anything, he knew it was nearly an impossible feat.That was an individual who could compel the commander of the Kingdom of Vriweth to lead soldiers into battle and yet find himself in a passive and trapped situation. It implied more about Elon's military prowess than his
Especially after nightfall, the climate in the Black Desert became increasingly harsh, with frequent gusts of wind whipping up sand and stones and wreaking havoc on the flat terrain.Isaac's journey became more challenging, but the advantage was that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Kingdom of Easteria couldn't detect him several miles up in the sky.He was unable to see what was happening below due to the harsh conditions at high altitude.In this way, Isaac flew toward the northwest for three days. By this point, his internal spiritual energy was greatly depleted, so he started cautiously descending in altitude.He wasn't certain if he had gotten past the Black Tiger Legion's blockade. Moreover, he needed to descend quickly to find a place to recover his spiritual energy.After passing through the clouds, Isaac saw below a series of mountain ranges that looked like winding, raised lines under the setting sun.Here he was!The hilly region was where Zeno and his 3
Lucifer never imagined he would see Isaac here.Isaac nodded slightly toward Lucifer but didn't say anything. He then turned his attention back to Zeno, who was seated at the main seat."Are all the generals present?" Zeno slowly got up, his gloomy gaze sweeping across each person's face."Yes, everyone has arrived," said the bearded man standing in front, bowing his head.Zeno suddenly pointed at Isaac. Facing the dozen or so generals before him, he shouted sternly, "Look closely. Take a good look at this man!"He came here from the Kingdom of Vriweth, passing through the Kingdom of Northwing."Even a convicted prisoner, who is going to earn his redemption, could break through the defenses of the Black Tiger Legion. We have strong forces. But why are we trapped here?"Isaac squinted. Initially, he had no idea why Zeno had gathered all the generals together. It seemed like Zeno wanted to use him as an example to teach those generals a lesson.The dozen or so generals in charge
