2024-04-15 15:17:40Seven years had passed since the incident that changed the course of Oasis's life.
In Verdantia, a kingdom renowned for its lush greenery, dense forests, sparkling rivers, and towering mountains, the verdant beauty of nature thrived.
The people of Verdantia were deeply connected to the land, with druids and elementalists harnessing the power of earth and plants to protect their homeland.
In the town of Mossy Hollow, located south of the capital city Sylvaneth, life carried on amidst the tranquility of nature.
Mossy Hollow was a quaint settlement nestled in the embrace of the verdant forest, its cobblestone streets winding through clusters of wooden cottages adorned with vibrant floral gardens.
On a sunny day just after the last harvest, the market square of Mossy Hollow bustled with activity.
Merchants displayed their wares under colorful awnings, the air filled with the fragrant aroma of freshly baked bread and blooming flowers.
Villagers gathered to barter and trade, their laughter mingling with the cheerful chatter of vendors.
Amidst the bustling marketplace, seven-year-old Oasis stood observing everything with keen interest.
Despite his young age, Oasis possessed a maturity that belied his years.
With his brown eyes filled with curiosity, he wandered through the marketplace, whistling a cheerful tune.
Dressed in a simple white vest, shorts, and a pair of sandals, Oasis wore a pendant around his neck, its enchanting glow catching the sunlight.
As he strolled leisurely, his gaze swept over the familiar sights and sounds of Mossy Hollow.
He knew every corner of the marketplace, having grown up amidst its bustling activity.
Oasis had formed a close bond with many of the merchants, who regarded him fondly as a familiar presence in their midst.
His friendly demeanor and helpful nature endeared him to the villagers, and he was often seen assisting the vendors or running errands with a cheerful smile.
As Oasis made his way through the marketplace, he exchanged friendly greetings with the merchants, his easygoing manner reflecting the warmth of Mossy Hollow's community.
Despite the passage of time, the essence of Mossy Hollow remained unchanged – a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of friendship, laughter, and the timeless beauty of nature.
And amidst it all, young Oasis stood, a beacon of light and joy in the heart of his beloved hometown.
As he strolled without a care in the world, Oasis found himself lost in thought.
"Why don't I have parents like other kids my age in Mossy Hollow? Mikael can even do his chores with his wind magic, but I can't even light a candle."
"What a mess! I wish I had parents to teach me. I also want to learn magic," he mused, speaking aloud to himself with a slightly sad expression.
"But at least I've taught myself a little bit of swordplay. I saw it from Uncle Gesper, the Senior Guard of Mossy Hollow. I've been practicing with a stick alone in secret."
"I make sure Sister doesn't notice since she doesn't like violence. But I am Oasis! I won't give up."
"One day, I will be strong and I can protect Mossy Hollow and Sister from dangers," he affirmed with determination, a hint of laughter in his voice as he passed by the ballet inn.
"Shit," he muttered under his breath as he suddenly remembered his reading class with Sister scheduled for noon.
"I have to hurry before she gets angry," he thought, picking up his pace.
Just as he turned a corner, he accidentally collided with a girl who appeared to be around the same age as him but dressed in attire that indicated she was from a higher class.
Two guards accompanied her, and Oasis realized they were not from around Mossy Hollow, as he knew everyone in town.
For a moment, Oasis was captivated by the girl's beauty, gazing at her with a mixture of awe and curiosity, like a hungry puppy given food.
"Get out of the way, commoner!" one of the guards barked, kicking Oasis aside.
"These streets are filled with trash and stray cats. Let's get moving, Princess," he declared with a haughty tone.
The girl smiled in amusement at the interaction.
Oasis had rarely encountered royalty and nobles in Mossy Hollow, as it was just a small town in the kingdom.
Most of its residents were commoners leading simple lives, a fact that Oasis had come to accept after Sister had enlightened him about the harsh realities of the world.
As the guards escorted the princess away, Oasis overheard their conversation.
"Did you feel the aura coming from that child? Who is that kid?" one guard asked in bewilderment.
The other guard dismissed it, attributing it to a drunken hallucination.
But secretly, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something extraordinary about Oasis, especially the expensive-looking pendant he wore.
Meanwhile, Sister was preparing for their reading lesson when Oasis burst into the room, breathless and disheveled.
"What's the rush, Oasis? I know it's you," she remarked with a smile.
Concerned, she noticed a bruise on his face. "Oh my, what happened to your face, my dear Oasis?" she inquired, her voice filled with worry.
"Nothing, Sister, I just fell," Oasis replied sheepishly, trying to hide the injury.
"Let me fix you up, and then we can start your lesson," Sister said, ushering him to sit down.
During their lesson, Oasis couldn't help but ask about the mysterious box he had always carried with him.
"What is this box, Sister?" he inquired, holding it up. Sister examined it closely, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"We also don't know, Oasis. When you came here, you had that box and your pendant."
"Although most magic storage boxes can be opened by applying a bit of mana, this one is different. I can't open it," she admitted honestly.
With a sense of curiosity gnawing at him, Oasis retired to bed that night, pondering over the mysteries surrounding his past while gazing at the thumb-sized magic storage box.
Despite his tender age, Oasis possessed a wisdom that surpassed his peers, and he found himself grappling with questions that were beyond his years.

At the Upper Gallery.Where the only two who had seen everything—even through the blinding light—sat in silence.From this elevated vantage point, nothing had escaped their eyes.Even when the cyan brilliance had swallowed the world below and turned the Grand Sanctuary into a second sun, these two figures had seen everything clearly, as if the light itself bent away from their sight.They watched the aftermath unfold.Oasis was already outside the gigantic battlefield, his figure calm and composed as he headed toward the resting area within the Grand Sanctuary.His steps were unhurried, his posture steady, as if he had not just concluded a duel that shook the very foundations of the arena.At the same time, the guards did not waste even a heartbeat.They surged forward in disciplined coordination, descending toward the destroyed battlefield.They moved directly to Elanor, checking her condition with practiced efficiency before they carefully lifted her from the elevated slab of earth.

Shutter!!!!!The chair that Eclipse Bal sat on in the Noble Gallery suddenly shuddered—then disintegrated into nothing, reduced to dust as his martial aura surged upward like a raging sea.In an instant it flooded the entire noble gallery, dense and thick, heavier and more suffocating than what had been unleashed below on the battlefield.It was not a simple flare of emotion—it was a father’s wrath made tangible, a storm of power that did not care what it crushed so long as it reached its target.The air itself thickened, trembling, groaning as though the gallery was being squeezed from the inside.The enchanted glass panels before them vibrated faintly, humming under the pressure.Curtains of aura rolled across the noble seats, swallowing the space in oppressive might.Breath became a privilege.“Damn that brat… he wants to kill my daughter now!” Eclipse roared.His aura was suffocating.Most present felt it immediately—their lungs seized, their throats tightened, their breath halted
Chapter 558: Calamity’s Grace: The End of the Youthful Sky.
The moment of collision—A low, thunderous whisper of wind rolled across the Grand Sanctuary, not loud at first, but so deep and pervasive that it seeped into bone and marrow.The dark skies above were torn open by emerald brilliance, the stars themselves seeming to dim as everything turned green-azure and cyan,streaked with violent threads of compressed energy.Elanor’s X-shaped attack didn’t explode.It was devoured.The twin crescent slashes—one martial, one essence-born—were swallowed whole as they struck the roaring cyclone.They didn’t resist. They didn’t clash.They were chewed apart, stripped layer by layer, their power unraveled as if a colossal beast had clamped its jaws shut around them.For a split second—Those with sharp perception saw it.Within Oasis’s gigantic cyclone, the vague silhouette of a massive wolf formed—its shape carved from wind and mana, eyes burning with sovereign intent.Its presence was not physical, yet it was unmistakable, a monarch hidden within th

With each step Oasis took, his energy continued to rise.At first it was subtle—an increase in pressure, a tightening of the air—but within moments it became impossible to ignore.The air around him heated violently.His robes began to darken in patches, the fabric hissing and curling inward as cyan flames licked across it.Threads blackened, then disintegrated into glowing ash.His boots were next—first smoking, then burning away completely, leaving his bare feet resting against the cracked stone as if the heat meant nothing to him.The temperature spiked violently.Higher.Higher still.The entire Grand Sanctuary of Greatness began to brighten, not from flame, but from cyan radiance.Walls, pillars, and barrier surfaces reflected that color back upon themselves,layering light upon light until the vast arena looked as though it had been submerged in a luminous sea of blue fire.It was beautiful.And it was terrifying.Across from him, Elanor did not hesitate.In response, she unleas

Elanor’s umbrella snapped shut mid-motion, the click sharp and decisive.In the same instant, she thrust forward—the tip of the umbrella aimed straight at Oasis’s chest.The movement itself was simple.Direct.Almost plain.But the bearing behind it was anything but.The air screamed.The closed umbrella cut through the space between them, compressing air, aura, and momentum into a single lethal point.Crimson martial pressure wrapped around the umbrella’s tip like a drilling spiral, causing the surrounding space to distort as if it were being pierced by an invisible spear.Oasis shifted.Silently.Effortlessly.He angled his body just enough and slapped the umbrella aside with the back of his hand, redirecting the thrust sideways at the last possible instant.The redirected force tore a long groove across the battlefield floor, stone exploding outward where the pressure escaped.But Elanor had never intended for that thrust to end there.She flowed with the deflection, letting Oasis’

The spell erupted.A massive shockwave of emerald wind slashes exploded outward from Oasis, howling like an ancient storm unchained.Countless crescent-shaped blades of compressed wind tore through the air, overlapping, stacking, multiplying—each one sharp enough to shear mountains, each one roaring with murderous intent as they hailed straight toward Elanor.Elanor stood firm, her umbrella rotating before her as she poured every ounce of her crimson martial aura into it.BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!The collision was catastrophic.The emerald storm slammed into her defenses and the entire Grand Sanctuary of Greatness shook as if struck by a god’s fist.The ground before Oasis didn’t merely crack—it was ripped apart, slabs of enchanted stone uprooted wholesale.The battlefield’s surface was shredded into fragments, pulverized into dust and jagged debris that were hurled violently toward the barrier walls.The air turned opaque.Dust, shattered stone, torn formations, and violently clashing martia
