Chapter 609: The Architecture of Deterrence.
Neftor nodded faster than his neck was meant to move.His head bobbed repeatedly, almost violently, as if afraid that a slower motion might be interpreted as hesitation.His face had turned pale, beads of sweat forming along his temples and sliding down past his jaw.The wind brushed against his torn shoulder, and each gust sent sharp jolts of pain radiating through his body.“Yes—yes…” Neftor stuttered, his voice trembling.His knees nearly buckled as another wave of agony surged through him.He clenched his teeth, trying to suppress a cry.The martial aura he had used to seal the wound flickered unevenly, struggling to stabilize the bleeding completely.“I won’t even dare listen—nor look—at anything that has to do with Lunaris,” he continued hurriedly.“Even if I see writings about Lunaris, I will look the other way.”His voice cracked on the last words.“Good,” Zane replied calmly.He did not even spare Neftor another glance.“Let’s go, Elder Yuri.”With that, Zane ascended even fu
Chapter 608: The Traitor’s Mercy.
“This kid is truly remarkable… no wonder I lost to him. If he had wanted me dead, I would have already crossed over alongside the rest of the Evening Reapers.”Yuri hovered a short distance away, the tall grasses of the plain swaying gently around his boots as he watched Zane’s back.The dark azure lightning still crackled faintly in the air, residual arcs snapping and fading like dying embers of a storm.His gaze was steady, analytical.“The spell he just used…” Yuri thought deeply. “He turned the entire area into his weapon.”His eyes scanned the faint distortions in the atmosphere.“He ionized the air within a specific radius—created a domain of his own authority.”A slow breath escaped him.“A zone where he controlled the electrical resistance of every molecule.”Even now, faint traces of altered mana patterns lingered like invisible threads woven into the environment.“And I was within that radius,” Yuri continued inwardly. “Yet I wasn’t touched.”That realization impressed him t
Chapter 607: Silent Tempest's horror.
“Kill them!” Triggered shouted.His blade flashed free from its sheath in a sharp metallic hiss, the steel catching the light as he pointed it straight at Zane and Yuri.In that instant, the formation behind him exploded into motion.The three Awakened cultivators positioned behind Triggered moved first—disciplined and coordinated.Two of them slid sideways in opposite directions, feet skimming just above the grass as they flanked outward, seeking blind angles.The third surged forward directly toward Zane, his boots tearing shallow furrows into the earth beneath him.At the same time, the other Enlightened cultivator at the rear dropped down and launched upward.He shot into the sky like an arrow.His martial aura ignited around him—bright, forceful, flaring crimson-orange—and from midair he extended both hands and unleashed a barrage of aura-reinforced projectiles.Dozens.Thin spears of condensed martial energy screamed downward in a wide arc, covering the battlefield in an overwhe
Chapter 606: The Silent Tempest’s Reintroduction.
“This group… they look like mercenaries. Or perhaps military deserters from some prominent family,” Yuri thought as he carefully observed the six armored figures before them.His gaze swept across their posture, their breathing patterns, the subtle discipline in the way they held formation.“If they are mercenaries, then they must have received a contract to kill Zane,” he continued inwardly.“But who commissioned it? And when was this plan set into motion? Was it before I joined the kid… or after?”His eyes narrowed slightly.“And yet the kid remains calm—even in a situation like this.”Yuri analyzed them one by one.“The one standing before Zane is an Enlightened cultivator. Another among them is also Enlightened. The remaining four are Awakened cultivators.”A faint tension settled in his chest.“These are not ordinary individuals.”While Yuri was immersed in his thoughts—The rough-voiced man who had spoken earlier stepped forward again.“Mm. Sharp tongue indeed,” the man said wit
Chapter 605: The Predator’s Delight.
“Mm… this kid is certainly different from the other children born into noble families. And so are his brothers.The same goes for their companions.Even though they don’t openly display their strength, one can tell—the way they carry themselves is different.”Yuri’s thoughts flowed calmly as he moved at high speed across the vast plains.Ahead of him, a massive tree trunk—torn loose from some storm—came hurtling sideways through the air, caught in the violent crosswinds of the region.Without breaking rhythm, Yuri tilted his body slightly mid-glide.His robe fluttered as he pivoted just enough for the trunk to pass within inches of his shoulder.The sheer force of its momentum stirred the air violently, but Yuri’s expression did not change.He flowed past it as if it had never existed.“Most noble children are greenhouse flowers,” Yuri continued inwardly. “Sheltered. Pampered. Raised under layers of protection.”His gaze shifted toward Zane’s back.“But this one… is different.”The wi
Chapter 604: The Sovereignty of the Forced Bound.
“I don’t know whether I am dreaming… or if someone cast a dangerous illusion spell on me.”Theodore stood alone in the very training field where Oasis had clashed with Vesta.His hands were clasped behind his back, fingers interlocked tightly as though grounding himself in reality.Above him stretched a clear sky, pale blue and serene, while thin clouds drifted lazily across its expanse—as if nothing extraordinary had happened beneath them.He tilted his head upward, staring at those clouds, shaking his head slowly in disbelief.The cracked stone floor still bore the scars of the battle.Fine fractures spidered across the training ground, faint traces of mana lingering in the air like the scent of burnt ozone after lightning.Yet the courtyard was quiet now. Too quiet.“Even if I had wanted to refuse… even if I had tried to remain polite and decline…” Theodore thought, exhaling deeply, “it would have been impossible.”His gaze lowered slightly, unfocused.“What that kid just gave me…
