A ripple of surprise swept through the chamber at Queen Elara's announcement, as the council members exchanged glances of astonishment.
The idea of including younger children in the exam was met with mixed reactions, with some expressing concern for their safety.
Queen Elara's expression softened, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve.
"Rest assured, my dear council members, that every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of our children during the exam."
"The Orders of Guards and Army stand ready to intervene at a moment's notice, with the Sylvan Guard and Thornwatchers poised to protect our young ones from any potential threats."
A ripple of reassurance spread through the chamber as Queen Elara continued.
"Furthermore, all dangerous mystic beasts of the Whispering Woods have been isolated and contained."
"The remaining monsters and mystic beasts that the children may encounter during their exam have been carefully selected to provide them with valuable lessons in survival and cooperation."
"What do you mean by isolated, My Queen?" Talia inquired, her brow furrowing in concern.
"As you all know, the Whispering Woods is vast and teeming with life," the Queen began, her voice commanding attention.
"It holds countless mysteries, and since the birth of our kingdom, no one has ever fully explored its depths."
"Let me remind you all that the woods are divided into layers, from the first to the fifth."
"The first layer is the safest, inhabited mostly by F-rank beasts," the Queen continued, her gaze sweeping over the assembled audience.
"Moving deeper, the second layer hosts E-rank and some D-rank beasts, with E-rank beasts prevalent near the first layer and D-rank beasts closer to the third."
"The third layer contains C-rank and B-rank beasts, while the fourth harbors A-rank beasts."
"However, it is the fourth and fifth layers, known as the Disappearing Whispering Woods, that are the most perilous."
"The fourth layer may hold a few S-rank beasts, but not more than three, whereas the fifth layer is the domain of S-rank beasts," the Queen elaborated, her voice tinged with solemnity.
"Beyond the fifth layer lies the Nefil layer, though this is merely legend."
"To address your inquiry, Talia, we will erect an array barrier in the second layer," the Queen announced, her tone decisive.
"This barrier will be robust enough to prevent anyone from traversing or entering, ensuring they encounter only F and E-rank beasts."
"Their safety shall be guaranteed within this perimeter."
"Thank you, my Queen," Talia responded respectfully, bowing her head.
"Since the purpose of the exam is to qualify for entry into the Academy and to safeguard our children, a preliminary examination will be conducted," the Queen declared, her voice unwavering.
"Children capable of vanquishing F-rank beasts and causing E-rank beasts to retreat shall qualify for the Whispering Woods exam."
"Those who do not succeed may attempt again next year. We cannot afford to allow anyone to venture into the woods without assurance of their safety."
Queen Elara's proclamation resonated through the chamber, her voice unwavering as she declared,
"The exam shall commence in nine months' time, amidst the flourishing season of spring. The preliminary exam will precede it by one month."
"This prolonged period of preparation will afford our children ample opportunity to refine their skills and brace themselves for the trials that lie ahead in the Whispering Woods."
Her words lingered in the air, a solemn vow to both the council members and the populace of Verdantia.
"I harbor complete faith in the abilities of our children to navigate the perils of the Whispering Woods with fortitude and valor."
"Together, we shall ensure that this year's examination stands as a testament to their resilience and prowess."
"Before we disseminate this decree to the entirety of our realm, send forth invitations to the eight esteemed noble families, summoning them to the palace in one month's time," she instructed the elders with authority.
With a final smile and a nod of her head, Queen Elara turned and made her way to the balcony overlooking the bustling capital below.
As she gazed out at the verdant landscape spread out before her, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
From her vantage point high above the city, Queen Elara could see the towering treehouses of Sylvaneth, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Great Forest.
The sparkling rivers snaking their way through the landscape, and the towering mountains that loomed in the distance, all seemed to pulse with life and vitality.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the city, Queen Elara's eyes sparkled with pride and determination.
For in that moment, she knew that the future of Verdantia was in good hands, and that together, they would continue to protect and preserve the natural beauty of their kingdom for generations to come.
As Queen Elara gazed out at her beloved city, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
With a serene smile on her lips, after some time of gazing, Queen Elara began to gradually unleash her nature magic aura.
It was a power so potent yet comforting, like a warm embrace from the earth itself.
As her aura spread, it echoed throughout Verdantia, enveloping the entire capital in its soothing embrace.
The scene of her beautiful aura was so captivating and comforting that it made the whole city pause in awe.
From every corner of Verdantia, voices rose in unison, shouting "Hail Queen Evergreen!"
The moment she unleashed her aura, every activity in the capital came to a halt as all eyes turned towards the council tower where she stood on the balcony, a radiant vision of strength and grace.
It was a sight to behold, a testament to her unwavering connection to the land and her people.

Chapter 708: Shadows Over the Horizon.
As everything had been unfolding near the blood-soaked stretch of road where the recent clash had just ended, and as Oasis’s presence still lingered like an invisible pressure across the entire valley, the world beyond the immediate chaos was not silent.A few kilometers away, perched high upon the jagged cliff edges that overlooked the winding valley roads, two figures stood in discreet observation, hidden yet fully attentive to everything below.The last rays of the sun stretched across the horizon in molten gold, painting the sky in a fading brilliance that seemed almost divine in its stillness. The light shimmered across the rocky cliff face, casting long shadows behind the two observers.They stood unmoving, silhouettes against the glowing sky, their presence subtle yet unmistakably refined.Both figures were clad in finely tailored robes of deep crimson, the fabric catching the wind with a faint ripple that betrayed their stillness.Conical hats rested upon their heads, shading

The moment Oasis felt and realized what was happening within his conscious realm, he paused.Externally, nothing about him changed at first. To anyone looking at him from the outside, he still appeared calm and unmoving within the carriage, seated in silence with his eyes closed.Yet beneath that stillness, something immense was unfolding. It was as if an ancient mechanism hidden deep within his existence had finally begun turning once more after ages of dormancy.Then suddenly—Thin strands of cyan energy began dancing around his closed eyelids.The glow first appeared faintly, like wisps of ethereal flame escaping through invisible cracks, but within seconds the energy intensified. The cyan radiance pulsed rhythmically, illuminating parts of his face and casting shifting reflections across the interior of the carriage.The energy did not behave like ordinary mana. It moved with intelligence, spiraling around his eyelids in intricate currents as if drawn toward something awakening be

By the time Oasis passed the original point of confrontation, nothing remained of the henchmen except fading ash. By the time he reached the Butler, Roben himself was gone—reduced entirely to dust scattered across the ground.The Butler’s entire body shook violently, his muscles refusing obedience as if he no longer belonged to himself.Oasis leaned slightly forward, his voice soft.“Calm.”A single word.Yet it carried something vast within it.A wave of spiritual energy expanded outward from him, gentle yet absolute. It passed through every person present like a cooling tide washing over burning nerves.Fear did not vanish instantly—but it loosened its grip. Panic unraveled. Breathing returned. The crushing weight on their souls eased as though a divine hand had briefly lifted it away.Oasis’s gaze shifted slightly toward the survivors.“What should it be… should I help you cremate your fallen comrades? Or should you not be tending to the wounded instead?”A pause.“…Actually, bury

As if they had been waiting for that very command all along, Roben’s henchmen did not hesitate even for a breath. The moment his voice cut through the tension, their bodies reacted like sharpened instincts given form.Martial auras erupted around them in violent bursts, tearing through the air as they launched forward toward Oasis with coordinated precision.They were not disorganized bandits rushing blindly into slaughter. Instead, their movement revealed a practiced, almost military formation—tight, deliberate, and suffocating.Four of them advanced in a clustered assault pattern that sealed every escape route with frightening efficiency.One came straight down the center with his blade raised high, aimed directly at Oasis’s head, the killing intent sharp enough to distort the air itself. Two others moved in perfect sync along Oasis’s flanks, their blades angled to carve through his ribs and shoulders simultaneously, leaving no room for lateral evasion.The fourth stayed slightly be

As everyone was still taken aback by Oasis’s sudden appearance, their gazes remained locked onto the young man who had emerged from the trees with enormous ethereal wings spread behind him.The wings were breathtaking.They were neither entirely feathered nor entirely draconic in appearance. Cyan scales shimmered faintly between layers of glowing feathers, and streams of energy flowed along the edges of the massive appendages like rivers of light coursing through the sky itself.The sunlight reflected upon them beautifully, causing the wings to radiate an almost sacred brilliance amidst the blood-soaked battlefield.Yet before anyone could even properly process what they were witnessing—The wings seamlessly retracted.Within a single second, they folded inward and dissolved into Oasis’s body as though they had never existed at all.The process was smooth.Effortless.Terrifyingly natural.And throughout it all, Oasis’s eyes remained closed.To those who did not know the reason behind
Chapter 703: The Interrupted Execution (1).
Just after the borders of the Kingdom of Aurelion, toward the vast northeastern reaches of the continent, the terrain changed dramatically.The smooth roads and refined stone pathways that belonged to the kingdom gradually vanished behind uneven wilderness trails carved through valleys and rugged highlands.Massive cliffs stretched endlessly across the horizon like the backs of sleeping titans, while enormous valleys split the earth apart in jagged layers that descended into deep shadows far below. Yet despite the roughness of the land, life flourished abundantly here.Towering green trees spread across the valleys in endless clusters, their branches dancing beneath the hot afternoon winds. Thick grasses rolled across the hills like green waves beneath the blazing sun, and the scent of fresh earth and wild vegetation lingered heavily within the air.Above the world stretched a vast, endless blue sky without a single cloud in sight. The sunlight here was harsher than within the inner t
