Chapter 611: The Ember’s Rebuke.
“Let’s see how I fare. As long as I don’t kill the kid—I was given permission, after all,”Lukan thought, his lips curling faintly as he crouched behind the shade of a broad oak within the courtyard.He steadied his breathing.The afternoon air was warm, thick with the scent of trimmed grass and roasted meat drifting from the canopy where Vesta and Delvan sat.Sunlight filtered through the leaves in fractured beams, painting golden patterns across the stone paths.Servants passed in the distance, oblivious. Guards stood at ease, their gazes scanning lazily.“But this doesn’t feel right at all—me, an Enlightened, crouching like this to target a child,” he thought.Lukan slowly raised his hand.His fingers twitched—subtle, precise.A thin current of water mana stirred within his mana system, slipping toward his fingertips like a silent serpent.He extended his perception, attempting to connect his mana with the moisture lingering in the air around Vesta.The humidity beneath the tree ca
Chapter 610: The Diverging Path of the Dragon.
Somewhere in Aetheria — A Few Kilos South of the Meridian King PeaksFar south of the towering Meridian King Peaks, where the world fractured into jagged spires of stone and blade-like ridges, the air thinned into a sharp, crystalline chill.The mountains rose like the broken fangs of some ancient beast, their tips piercing the drifting seas of clouds.Winds screamed through narrow ravines, carrying with them the scent of cold and raw mana that shimmered faintly in the atmosphere.On the very edge of one such peak stood a solitary figure.He did not move.He stood tall and still, as though carved from the mountain itself, gazing over the vast expanse of the world below.Endless forests rolled like dark green oceans beneath him.Rivers shimmered like threads of silver.Far in the distance, plains stretched toward the horizon where earth kissed sky in a haze of pale gold.The wind rushed past him, tugging at his robes and sending his dark hair flowing backward.Yet the ends of that dark
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
