last update2024-05-07 19:57:04

Meanwhile, in Riverbend Hamlet,

on the banks of the Silverwater River, the tranquil waters flowed gently, reflecting the moon's ethereal glow.

The river's surface rippled with a mesmerizing dance, mirroring the starry sky above and casting a serene ambiance over the hamlet.

Sir Elias Hawthorne stood on the riverbank, his weathered features illuminated by the soft moonlight.

Beside him, Oasis, still reeling from the revelations of his legacy, stood in silent contemplation.

The magical box and its contents lay between them, a silent testament to the mysteries that surrounded them.

The air was thick with anticipation as both Sir Elias and Oasis grappled with the weight of their thoughts.

Seven years' worth of unanswered questions swirled in their minds, mingling with the echoes of Oasis's father's words.

The letter's contents reverberated in the silence, each word carrying the weight of destiny and purpose.

As they stood in quiet reflection, the tranquility of the night was suddenly shattered by a surge of energy that rippled through the air.

The queen's aura, unleashed from the heart of Sylvaneth, reached even the quiet hamlet of Riverbend, its presence palpable in the night air.

Sir Elias's keen senses picked up on the subtle shift in the atmosphere, and he turned to Oasis with a knowing smile.

"Something good must have happened in the capital," he remarked, his voice tinged with anticipation. "Without a doubt, that is Queen Elara's magic."

Oasis, amazed by the power of the queen, felt a surge of determination coursing through him.

"I am going to be stronger than her, and stronger than everyone," he declared with unwavering resolve.

Turning to Sir Elias with a determined expression, Oasis made a request that echoed with the weight of his newfound determination.

"Please, Sir Elias, can you train me?" he asked, his voice filled with conviction.

Sir Elias's smile widened at Oasis's request, a spark of excitement dancing in his eyes.

"I was already planning to do just that," he replied, his tone brimming with enthusiasm.

It was as if a lion had spotted its prey, ready to embark on the thrill of the hunt.

With a steely resolve, Oasis affirmed his commitment to his own growth and development.

"I have to conquer myself before I conquer the realm and my problems," he declared, his words echoing with the weight of his determination.

"First things first," Sir Elias spoke with authority, his voice carrying a soothing resonance.

"Since your magic energy has stabilized, let's completely heal your injuries."

As Sir Elias began the incantation of his healing magic, known as "Sylvan Restoration," the air around them seemed to shimmer with a serene aura.

The healing energy reflected on the surface of the Silverwater River, casting a gentle glow as it enveloped Oasis in its soothing embrace.

Oasis felt a warm sensation wash over him as Sir Elias's magic worked its wonders.

The pain in his chest dissolved into nothingness, replaced by a sense of rejuvenation and vitality.

His wounds healed completely, leaving behind no trace of the injuries that had once plagued him.

With a deep breath, Oasis felt as though he were reborn, his body restored to its peak condition.

After the healing was complete, Sir Elias wasted no time delving into a comprehensive explanation of the various magic natures in the realm.

He began with the kingdom of Avaloria, describing it as the "Kingdom of the Eternal Sun," where powerful fire mages and sand manipulators harnessed the energy of the sun and sand.

"Verdantia," Sir Elias continued, his voice filled with reverence, "is a kingdom deeply connected to nature."

He explained how druids and elementalists in Verdantia harnessed the power of earth and plants to protect their homeland,

utilizing magic that resonated with the lush greenery and natural abundance of the kingdom.

As Sir Elias moved on to describe Frostgard, he spoke of a land shrouded in ice and snow, where its inhabitants were mainly skilled in ice magic and frost-based combat.

The capital city, he explained, was a marvel of icy architecture illuminated by shimmering auroras in the sky.

With each kingdom he described, Sir Elias provided detailed insights into the unique characteristics of their magic and the ways in which it manifested in the inhabitants.

He explained how some individuals were naturally attuned to certain types of magic, while others gravitated towards different forms based on their innate abilities and inclinations.

"Magic is as diverse as the kingdoms themselves," Sir Elias concluded, his voice filled with wisdom.

"Each form of magic is a reflection of the environment and culture of its respective kingdom, and those who wield it do so with a deep understanding of its nuances and complexities."

As Sir Elias spoke, he gestured towards the Silverwater River, a glint of determination shining in his eyes.

"In my prime, I was best in utilizing wind and water magic," he explained. "Allow me to demonstrate."

With a series of fluid movements and incantations, Sir Elias channeled his magic, drawing upon the elements of wind and water with a grace that spoke of years of practice and mastery.

The air around them began to stir, a gentle breeze sweeping through the clearing as the surface of the river rippled in response.

With a focused gaze, Sir Elias extended his hands towards the river, his magic weaving together in a seamless dance of power and control.

A whirlwind formed above the water, swirling with increasing intensity as it gathered moisture from the river below.

In a breathtaking display of skill, Sir Elias performed a high-level double casting, combining his wind and water magic in a dazzling display of elemental mastery.

The whirlwind twisted and expanded, shaping itself into intricate patterns that danced across the surface of the river with mesmerizing grace.

As Oasis watched in awe, Sir Elias's control over the elements was evident in every movement, his magic flowing with effortless precision.

The air crackled with energy as the whirlwind surged with power, a testament to Sir Elias's formidable skills as a mage.

With a final flourish, Sir Elias released his hold on the magic, allowing the whirlwind to dissipate with a soft sigh. The air grew still once more, the surface of the river returning to its calm, reflective state.

"That, young Oasis, is the beauty of wind and water magic," Sir Elias explained, his voice tinged with pride.

"It requires patience, focus, and a deep connection to the elements and a lot cultivation. With practice and dedication, you too can wield the magic of the elements with such mastery."

    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
