The moment was filled with an unspoken understanding and a deep bond forming between them. The magic circle glowed brightly, then slowly faded, leaving a warm, lingering sensation."We are now brothers," Zane said, his voice filled with emotion. "No matter what happens, we'll face it together.""Also, Oasis, we were waiting for you to wake up so we can go back to the Bluemoon family estate in Lunalith City," Zane continued."We'll go there in two days' time. My father is still in a meeting at the Evergreen Palace with other great families and the Queen."Zane and Oasis finished eating, their bond now even stronger."Let's go, and let me show you the inner city of Sylvaneth," Zane said, leading Oasis outside.Oasis and Zane stepped out of the manor, greeted by the breathtaking sight of the inner city of Sylvaneth.The Tree of Life stood majestically in the distance, its enormous canopy spreading across the sky.Unlike in the outer and middle cities, where the tree appeared as a distant
The leader, known as Barnabus the Slayer, looked up, his face partially illuminated by the dim light. He was a brutish man, with a face scarred from countless battles, and his eyes glinted with a savage hunger.He was sitting on the stomach of a massive, dead mystic beast, its blood pooling around him and staining the ground.In his hand, he held a large drumstick, torn from the beast's carcass, blood dripping from it as he took a ravenous bite.Barnabus tore into the meat with a feral intensity, his teeth sinking into the flesh as blood smeared across his mouth.He chewed slowly, savoring the taste, his eyes filled with a mix of satisfaction and malice.He exuded an aura of raw power and unrestrained brutality."Prepare," he growled, his voice deep and resonant, filled with a dark promise. "It's time to take revenge. I, Barnabus the Slayer, will show them all."His declaration was met with a chorus of dark murmurs and the sound of weapons being readied. His followers moved with pract
Goliath's Fist was a devastating spell, one that channeled the very essence of the earth into a single, monumental blow.Lancelot's fist, surrounded by a massive construct of rock and earth, aimed directly at Barnabus.The construct was enormous, dwarfing both combatants, and it radiated an overwhelming power, with veins of glowing bloodstone pulsing through the rock, adding an extra layer of lethal potency.Barnabus's eyes widened slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his face as he saw the magnitude of the attack. He raised his own hand, dark energy swirling around it, preparing to counter the blow.The two forces collided with a thunderous impact. The ground shook violently, and a shockwave rippled outwards, flattening everything in its path. For a moment, it seemed as if the very air would shatter from the force of their clash.he ground quaked as the ripples of mana hung in the air, shimmering like heat waves. The intensity of the clash had left the air charged with energy.Ba
The henchmen, clad in dark, tattered armor and exuding an aura of malice, quickly assessed the situation.They noticed Barnabus recovering from his clash with Elias and their comrades lying dead around them."Who is that?" one of the henchmen growled, his eyes narrowing as he saw Sir Elias standing defiantly.Lancelot started moving as fast as he could, his movements powered by the flight artifact.Wings made from condensed mana and filled with a concentration of wind magic sprouted from his back, propelling him forward with incredible speed.He soared through the air, focused on reaching Marina and getting her to safety."Kill that man!" Barnabus roared, his voice filled with rage.The henchmen charged towards Lancelot, weapons drawn and eyes gleaming with murderous intent."Wind Magic: Gale's Decapitation!" Sir Elias whispered, his voice low but filled with deadly intent.A whirlwind of razor-sharp wind blades erupted from his hands, slicing through the henchmen with brutal efficien
As dawn broke over Mossy Hollow, the town lay in ruins, a stark reminder of the devastating battle that had taken place.The streets were littered with debris, broken buildings, and the bodies of those who had fallen in the conflict. The air was thick with the acrid smell of smoke and the metallic scent of blood.In the aftermath, the town was eerily silent, save for the occasional groan of a collapsing structure. The once vibrant town was now a desolate wasteland.Barnabus lay in a small crater created by the fierce battle, his body broken and bleeding. Nearby, Sir Elias knelt, his life force ebbing away. His once vibrant aura was now a faint shimmer, barely holding on to the last vestiges of life."I will use the last of my spiritual energy to talk to Oasis one final time," Sir Elias thought, his vision blurring as he glanced at the incapacitated Barnabus."Even if he survives, he’s crippled. His cultivation is too low to cause trouble for decades."Gathering his remaining strength,
"That bastard," the queen hissed, her voice low and dangerous. Her aura flared, casting a brief, blinding light through the hall.The intensity of her power was palpable, causing the air to thrum with energy.After a moment, she regained her composure, and her aura dissipated. She took a deep breath, her expression hardening with resolve."This cannot go unpunished," she declared. "Barnabus and his men will be brought to justice. The fallen will be avenged."As the queen was still speaking, Draco Ignis, unable to contain his rage, unleashed his aura. The sudden surge of power sent a ripple through the hall, causing the other leaders to look at him with a mix of respect and concern. Without a moment's hesitation, Draco shot up into the air, flying out of the palace with a speed that left a trail of flames in his wake.Using a telepathic technique known as "Mental Flame Link", Draco communicated with the shadow figure. "Take Agni and return to Pyro Cliff," he commanded.The shadow figur
"Here," he added, throwing a golden token with the wolf engraved towards Oasis. "This is to show that you are a core disciple of the Bluemoon family. It is also a key to the defense array in the Bluefang Garden. From now on, that’s where you will be staying while at the Bluemoon estate."Oasis caught the token, looking at it with a mixture of awe and gratitude. "Damn, he doesn’t even give me a chance to agree or refuse," he thought, a small smile forming on his lips."Gratitude, Master Bluemoon," he said aloud, bowing slightly to show his respect and acceptance.Conri nodded, pleased with Oasis's response. "Take a shower, both of you, and then go and collect the pills from the Consano manor," Conri instructed.The Consano family is renowned for their expertise in alchemy and healing. They are the largest organization in Verdantia when it comes to producing pills, rivaling the great families in strength despite not being one of them. Their branches are spread throughout the entire realm
Through the streets of Lunalith City, Oasis and Zane made their way to the Consano manor. Both were wearing cloaks adorned with the emblem of a wolf gazing at the moon, signifying their allegiance to the Bluemoon family.The Consano manor stood grand and inviting. As they approached, the medicinal garden came into view.Rows of herbs and plants, each meticulously cared for, spread out before them, their vibrant colors and delicate fragrances a testament to the manor's dedication to the healing arts."Young Master Zane," a guard respectfully greeted them at the entrance, acknowledging Zane's presence with a nod.They continued walking, taking in the serene beauty of the garden as they moved toward the main building.Inside the manor, the atmosphere was tranquil yet bustling with activity. Alchemists and healers moved about, tending to their tasks with precision and care."Oasis, my boy!" a joyful voice rang out. Marina rushed over and enveloped him in a warm hug.Oasis, feeling shy and
