Chapter 42: Aftermath
last update2024-06-05 21:19:29
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

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

    yawn"Wow, I slept like a baby," Oasis said, stretching and yawning as he woke up.He moved outside to the garden, inhaling the crisp morning air."Wow, this place is absolutely refreshing," he thought, feeling invigorated by the serene surroundings.As Oasis stood in the garden, enjoying the tranquility, a figure suddenly appeared behind him in an instant. The intruder launched a swift attack, but Oasis reacted quickly, blocking the strike."Well, well, vigilant, aren't we?" the figure said."Oh, Sir Lancelot, it's you," Oasis said, recognizing the man."Drop the formality; just call me Lancelot. If it wasn't for your master, I would have already died," Lancelot spoke warmly."I've been away for a month and just came back to the estate," Lancelot explained. "I felt the array defense in the Bluefang Garden had been lifted, so I got curious. When I saw it was you, I had to surprise you.""So, the Leader gave you Bluefang Garden, huh? That's great.""The leader called me back to escort

    Oasis and Elder Tyron continued their conversation, Zane felt a pang of self-doubt."Is my age just for show? I'm older than him, but it seems I'm the younger one," he thought, observing the exchange between Oasis and the Elder.The carriage moved swiftly, the equinores pulling it at an incredible speed, making the landscape around them blur into a seamless motion.The runes on the carriage glowed softly, absorbing mana from the environment, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.Elder Tyron turned to Oasis with a thoughtful expression. "Oasis, I have a gift for you. Ask me one question."Lancelot's eyes widened slightly, his thoughts racing. "Asking a question from an Enlightened Realm cultivator? This kid's luck is incredible."Oasis took a moment before asking, "What do you know about the True Yang Body Constitution?"Lancelot's expression shifted to surprise, his brows furrowing. "True Yang Body? I've only heard about it," he thought, a mix of curiosity and bewilderment on his fa

    Oasis and Zane walked along the pathway inside the academy, they were surrounded by a vast landscape that felt like a whole new world.The mountains, forests, and streams gave an impression of being in a grand, open countryside rather than within city walls."Something doesn't make sense," Oasis said, frowning. "For some reason, I know the whole layout of the academy as if I have a map of most areas.""What do you mean by that, Oasis?" Zane asked, curious."It must be the golden scroll absorbed by my conscious realm," Oasis thought, recalling the peculiar event. "Never mind," he replied aloud to Zane.The place was indeed enormous, resembling a whole new world. Disciples were everywhere, engaged in various activities: sparring, studying, and socializing. The atmosphere buzzed with energy and purpose."From the rules, we have to go to the main hall as soon as we arrive," Zane said, scanning the area. "I wonder where it is.""Follow me," Oasis said confidently.They maneuvered through t

    Mana is the fundamental energy that permeates the world, an invisible force that flows through every living being and object.It is both a source of power and a medium through which we can interact with the natural and mystical elements around us. Understanding mana is akin to understanding the very fabric of reality.In order to break through to different realms, it is crucial to understand and comprehend the principles of the elements within the mana one uses.Each element fire, water, earth, Wind, and others—possesses unique characteristics and behaviors. Mastering elements requires a deep connection and attunement to their fundamental properties.Fire, for example, symbolizes destruction and renewal. Its mana is fierce, aggressive, and requires a strong will to control. It thrives on passion and intensity, often demanding its wielder to exhibit great courage and determination.To master fire, one must not only harness its raw power but also understand the delicate balance between

    Pervard’s mind raced as he recalled everything he knew about the Phoenix Clan."Most people might be ignorant about it, but I’ve read on hidden archives about the Volacris family in the Phoenix Clan.""Our Crimson Hand is in deep trouble. I should’ve been allowed to kill myself. My master would’ve known the moment I died."He grit his teeth in frustration, realizing that even biting his tongue wouldn’t end his life due to his advanced cultivation."We’re doomed..." Sweat dripped down Pervard’s face, and fear crept into his heart—a fear that had not been evident earlier.As the speech ended and the mood among the servants lightened with relief, Oasis instructed his guards.“You two, come with me.”The city lord went to reunite with his children, but Oasis made his way to the basement, where Rex and Pervard were held.Both men were suspended, their hands chained to the ceiling and their feet hanging limply.Oasis’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Rex, who was still feigning unconsciousnes

    He advanced on Pervard, his aura flaring with renewed intensity, prepared to deliver the final blow.Pervard, blinded by rage and fear, roared as he threw everything he had into one last desperate attack, but his movements were wild and unfocused.Riftain easily dodged, stepping inside Pervard’s guard and delivering a devastating strike to his chest.The impact sent Pervard crashing into the ground, his body convulsing from the blow.Thud. Thud. Thud.Pervard's chest heaved as he coughed blood, his body barely able to keep itself upright.Riftain advanced toward him, his eyes cold with the intent to end it all, prepared to deliver the final blow.Pervard, blinded by pain and rage, could barely comprehend what had just happened."How did he get this strong?" Pervard thought, blood seeping from his mouth."We were almost of equal strength. I’ve been active while he was sick..." He grimaced, spitting out more blood, his thoughts racing with confusion and despair.Oasis stood back, watchi

    The remaining lackeys began to panic, their techniques growing more desperate. One after another, they attacked, but Oasis was always one step ahead.A man with a curved blade aimed for Oasis’s head, but Oasis dodged with ease, delivering a spinning backfist that caved in the man’s skull.Another, a martial artist using fist techniques, charged forward, unleashing a flurry of punches.Oasis weaved through the blows with fluidity, stepping inside the man’s guard and breaking his arm before snapping his neck with a single, swift motion.Each of the lackeys fought with everything they had—one using fiery martial techniques, another enhancing his body with earth aura—but Oasis was untouchable.He moved like a ghost, anticipating every attack, countering with lethal precision.He dodged a fiery fist, and in the same breath, drove his elbow into the attacker’s spine, paralyzing him instantly.A man with twin daggers tried to slash at him, but Oasis caught his wrists, disarming him effortles

    The atmosphere in the manor shifted from tense anticipation to outright horror as Oasis stood over the five mangled bodies, his expression calm, almost indifferent.His hands and legs, not even stained with blood, were all it took to dispatch them.The shock of the scene silenced the onlookers—guards, servants, and even Pervard’s lackeys—all frozen in disbelief.“Is he really a mage?” a servant thought, trembling, her knees buckling under the weight of the spectacle.“How… how can a mage move like that?” one of the manor guards thought, sweat running down his face. “No mana, no spells… just raw strength and precision.”“I’ve never seen anyone fight like this, not even our strongest warriors,”another guard, drenched in sweat, trembled as he struggled to comprehend the sight.“It’s impossible. A mage should be relying on spells, not... this,” Alto thought, his eyes wide with fear. “How can he kill with just his bare hands?”Oasis’s own guards, who had been standing beside Raven, could h

    Pervard laughed loudly, looking up toward the ceiling as he shrugged off the upper part of his clothing, revealing a tattoo on his chest—a hand drenched in blood.One of the men behind him quickly stepped forward, draping a jacket over his shoulders.“Yes, I am Pervard, the executive of the Crimson Hand—the Cruel Hand,” Pervard declared, grinning as he soaked in the shocked reactions of the crowd.His tattoo glistened under the light as he spoke, “You may know my name, boy, but it won’t matter. You’ll die today, along with Riftain.”Riftain clenched his fists, fury coursing through him.“The Crimson Hand… these bastards. So, I’ve been harboring one in my own town this whole time.”“Pervard the Cruel Hand, huh? Thanks for making it easier to find you,” Oasis said coldly.In a swift motion, he unleashed an even stronger wind magic barrier, this time enveloping the entire manor.The gust of wind swept through the hall as the barrier sealed them inside.Gasps and whispers spread through t

    Back in the chamber, Oasis stood calmly in the wake of the city lord’s unleashed aura, completely unfazed.His azure eyes remained steady as he watched the older man with quiet respect.“Not bad,” Oasis thought, his expression unchanged, though inwardly he acknowledged the power being displayed.“Follow me, young man,” the city lord said, his voice now firm and commanding as he walked toward the door. “Let me show you how to deal with traitors.”As the city lord strode out of the room, Oasis followed at a measured pace.The two of them barely made it past the threshold when a group of guards came rushing down the corridor, their faces pale with fear.They skidded to a stop the moment they saw the city lord standing before them, fully revitalized.“My lord!” the guards gasped, immediately dropping to their knees, their bodies trembling from the pressure of his aura.Sweat dripped from their brows as they struggled to maintain their composure in his overwhelming presence.The city lord’

    Instantly, they melted into the shadows, ready to evade or strike if necessary.A guard descended the stairs, his form slowly becoming visible in the dim light.He was dressed like the others, but his demeanor was different.He wore the same uniform as the others in the manor, but something was different about him.As he approached the cell, the guards prepared to knock him out—until they saw him pull food from his pockets“It’s been a while, young lord Raven,” the man said quietly, his voice filled with respect.“How is father’s condition?” the boy, Raven, asked, his voice clear and strong despite the abuse he had endured."Still the same, young lord. His condition is declining," the guard replied, his voice laced with sorrow.As they spoke, Raven’s eyes flickered toward the shadows where Oasis’s guards were hidden.“What are you looking at, young lord?” the guard asked, sensing something amiss.“Nothing,” Raven replied calmly. “You should leave before the lackeys of that pig catch y

    Oasis moved silently through the shadows of the city lord’s residence, his steps light and precise, avoiding detection with ease.The mansion, though worn by neglect, had a complex layout.Guards patrolled in predictable patterns, moving along predetermined routes that Oasis had already observed using his spiritual senses.“Their movements are methodical, but uninspired,” Oasis thought as he studied the guards' routines.“The guards stationed near the entrance rotate every twenty minutes. The inner patrols are less frequent, giving me small windows to slip through.”As he moved, his azure eyes scanned the manor’s halls, catching subtle details—scuff marks on the floor indicating where guards commonly stood, and faint energy traces revealing where magical wards were placed.“The layout matches what I sensed earlier,” Oasis thought, gliding between two patrols with practiced ease.“Once I pass through this wing, the room where the city lord is bedridden should be up ahead.”Passing thr

    As Oasis sat in the inn with his guards, whispers began to ripple through the dimly lit room.Word of men distributing food and money had already reached the ears of the patrons, sparking quiet gossip."Did you hear? Some noble’s been handing out food and coins," one patron whispered to his companion, his voice low but full of curiosity."Yeah, I heard! Who’d do something like that in Riffridge? Must be someone from another town," another person murmured."Who are these people?" a woman muttered. "Could they be connected to the city lord?""Maybe they’re from Belvan. I heard rumors about nobles from that region," someone else suggested, cautiously glancing around.As the quiet chatter continued, Oasis stood up with his two guards, the candlelight flickering off their well-tailored clothing.They made their way toward the inn's counter. The room had grown darker, with the lamps now fully lit to mark the arrival of night."Can we have a room for the night?" Oasis asked calmly, his gaze
