As they continued through the dense foliage of the Great Forest, Sir Elias handed Oasis a small pill, its surface shimmering with an iridescent glow.

"Swallow this pill, Oasis," Sir Elias instructed, his voice low and urgent.

"It will mask your presence and eliminate even your scent. We must be cautious until we reach the lake, and we need to get there before nightfall."

Without hesitation, Oasis accepted the pill and swallowed it, trusting in Sir Elias without question.

As they walked deeper in the forest, Sir Elias began to speak, his voice carrying the weight of wisdom accumulated over years of experience.

"Oasis, in this world, there are countless mystical creatures, each with its own rank and level of danger," he explained, his tone grave.

"These creatures range from harmless to incredibly perilous, and it's crucial to understand their nature to survive."

"Mystic beasts are ranked from F to S, with each rank signifying their strength and ferocity," Sir Elias continued, his gaze sc

    Then, after a few breaths—bathed in the newborn glow of dawn and the vast, quiet beauty of the sky he himself had cleared—Oasis did not linger.He moved.Without haste, without ceremony, his body tilted forward and he descended.Slowly at first, then steadily, his figure cutting through the pale morning light as he returned to the stage below.As he fell, the gaze of the entire Grand Sanctuary followed—thousands upon thousands of eyes lowering in unison, as if pulled by an invisible gravity.Yet the silence that accompanied his descent was profound.There was dead silence.No cheers.No boos.No gasps.Only stillness.They had witnessed something beyond expectation, something that did not fit within the framework of reason they had carried all their lives.A saint-grade artifact—and not just any saint-grade artifact—but a masterpiece crafted by Master Deyton Juda himself…had been refined within hours.Not in a sealed cave.Not within a protected domain.But before their eyes, under

    And within Oasis’s conscious realm, it was happening as well.The once-peaceful, endless sky—clear, luminous, serene—began to darken.Clouds rolled in from all directions, thick and heavy, swallowing the radiant blues and cyan that had defined the realm moments before.The air itself trembled.At the core of the conscious realm, where Oasis’s essence converged, the cyan flames surged.Brighter.Hotter.Endless.They did not flicker.They did not waver.They roared—brighter and brighter, spiraling endlessly, as if fed by an unseen tide.Streams of energy poured outward from that core, threading through the vast, spring-like realm, coursing through floating islands, waterfalls, and mana streams alike.Mana currents twisted violently through the air, bending space, warping light, as if the realm was being reforged in real time.Every current of spiritual energy responded, resonating as if answering a sovereign’s call.The realm was no longer tranquil.It was alive.And still—Atop the wa

    Oasis’s eyes darted instantly.Front—to Amon.Straight—to Lady Marcellia.Then—to Devi Pogoda.Then right and left through his peripheral vision, just above to the hovering artifacts, upward to the sea of faces in the general stands.All of it happened in a breath.No—Faster than a breath.His pupils moved with trained precision, sharpened by years of battle instincts, his body remaining unnaturally still as he forced calm through every muscle fiber.Not a twitch escaped him, not a single unnecessary motion betrayed the storm rippling beneath his skin.His posture remained straight, composed, regal—yet inside, his mind raced at terrifying speed.Something was wrong.Very wrong.“What is going on…” Oasis thought, his heart tightening imperceptibly. “Is this some kind of mana link?”Another realization struck him.“No… that was more than just mana.”“It felt like—”His thoughts halted.“As if my own thoughts were speaking back to me.”“Father.”The voice vibrated again, clearer this ti

    “That is one hell of a dangerous artifact there…”Balton Booker’s thoughts churned quietly among the great names, his arms folded within his sleeves as his gaze lingered on the wooden box now resting in Oasis’s hands.His eyes narrowed—not in fear, but in measured judgment, the kind only a seasoned cultivator with decades of accumulated experience could possess.“In my family,” Balton mused internally, “we have about ten saint-grade artifacts. Among those, I personally own only one. The rest belong to the family elders and venerables.”His eyes shifted faintly, memories surfacing.“The venerables might not entirely be blood members of our family,” he continued in thought, “but their artifacts are stored within our vaults all the same.They are counted as part of our lineage, because when one of them falls, their artifact remains behind.”A faint exhale escaped him.“That is how legacy is preserved.”Balton’s gaze sharpened.“And even so,” he thought, “I have never seen an artifact wit

    A cold thread slid through the air.“If you are not careful,” Amon said, “the earrings will begin to treat your life force as fuel for that final discharge.”Amon’s gaze hardened.“If you draw upon that power without a heart of absolute, unshakeable resolve…”He leaned forward slightly.“The lightning will not flow outward toward your enemy.”“It will turn inward.”A ripple of discomfort passed through the great names.“Sensing a ‘false martyr,’” Amon continued, voice quiet now. “It will destabilize within your meridians.”“It will judge your will.”“And if it finds even a shred of cowardice,” Amon said, “or even a moment of hesitation while the Loop is active…”His eyes sharpened like a drawn blade.“It will fry your mana veins instantly.”Silence.Not even a breath dared to sound loud.“It is an artifact that demands you walk the edge of the grave,” Amon said, “without ever flinching.”Amon leaned closer, voice thinning to a thread.“And you must beware of the Essence of Chosen Deat

    “mmh… fascinating.” Oasis’s thoughts moved like still water beneath ice.“By normal standards, what this elder—who is always in my case—is saying… is plausible.Wielding a saint artifact, especially one that imprints itself into your body, is not an easy fit to do.”His gaze remained calm, yet his mind slid, naturally, to the one artifact that had never once felt heavy on him.“My Phoenix Claw Pendant… is a heavenly grade artifact,” Oasis thought, “yet I don’t remember having a problem with it.”A faint pause.“Or was it because I’ve always had it with me—ever since I could remember? As if it was simply… always around my neck.”His fingers didn’t move, but the memory of that pendant’s familiar weight was so vivid it might as well have been in his palm.“But what if it’s easier for me?” he wondered, eyes narrowing by a fraction. “What if my body just… accepts things like that?”Then another thought followed—practical, unbothered, and faintly amused.“So I think I should just go with th
