The man holding the dagger moved towards them, spinning his dagger and licking it."Come play with me, ladies. The harder you resist, the more exquisite the pleasure is," he said, licking his lower lip.Magnolia and Azalea held each other's hands."Water Magic: Water Needles," they called out in unison, launching a lot of water in needle forms towards the enemies.The water needles hit the enemies, but nothing happened.Ha ha ha ha!!!They laughed together."Was that supposed to intimidate us or kill us?" the man said as he continued moving. "What a waste of mana."Just as the man continued moving, Magnolia and Azalea called out in unison,"Riverwind Secret Magic: Desiccare." They unleashed a burst of energy."Huh! I feel thirsty," the man thought as his skin and body became dry, along with his companions.Within a few breaths, all of the men became so dehydrated that they couldn't even breathe and dried up to death."That's terrifying," Tyla thought.When Magnolia and Tyla launched t
Azael glanced at his brother Oasis, thinking, "This brother of mine is something else. I wonder how strong he'll be when his bloodline awakens."He continued, "I hope those people won’t cause trouble for him when he returns."Everyone walking with Oasis was surprised by his strength, especially those like Caizo, who were seeing him for the first time.It was astonishing how a young kid like him could be so powerful.They were in a corner when Juzo approached them. It was evident they might die if they fought, but Oasis, with just a look, managed to oppress them all.After walking for some time, they reached the temple. The atmosphere at the main temple was different, as if they had entered another realm.There was only one large door to enter the temple, and it seemed no one had already entered.People were waiting there, as a large array protected the temple, and a master array was needed to open it.But Oasis and his companions were not there for the same reason as the others.They
"These people are in the Awakened Realm, but thankfully, cultivation is limited here. It won't be easy, so you have to be careful," Azael spoke to Oasis."This kid just commanded me," Prince Aelric thought."Who are they? Are they going to get themselves killed?" a few of the remaining cultivators wondered.Azael approached them along with Oasis."I assume you are here for the Grimoire of Space," Azael asked, getting straight to the point."So you know about the Grimoire of Space, which means you also know about the other treasures," Shiro responded."I don't care about the other treasures. No one will be taking the Grimoire of Space, so I advise you seniors to leave," Azael said firmly."Then we won't have a choice but to kill you as well," Shiro replied.At this time, Kagame's sword was still activated, radiating dark red mana."Do you think you are capable of doing that?" Azael asked them."Your cultivation is already unstable since you are all in the Awakened Realm, but this place
"It's about time they come back," Zion thought as he waited at Verdantial Academy.By this time, only a few people remained in the academy, as most of the students and some instructors had returned to their respective families.The affairs in Verdantia were in a dire state; the rebellion of the Shadowfen family and Stormcaller family had created a significant impact.It had been some time since the rebellion started, but they had yet to make a move against the Evergreen family.This rebellion led some families to declare neutrality. Queen Evergreen announced that families wishing to remain neutral had the right to do so without repercussions.She also declared every family independent and allowed those who wished to ally with the Evergreen family to do so freely.Of the six great families not part of the rebellion, none had yet formed an alliance with the Evergreen family, focusing instead on enhancing their territories' defenses since war in Verdantia seemed inevitable.The Lumina fa
Elder Tyron escorted the group without any fuss along the way, and they reached Lunalith, which was bustling with activity.Oasis headed straight to his Bluefang Garden upon arrival, while Zane and Zion went to their respective courtyards.It was around noon when they arrived, and Elder Tyron informed them that they had to attend a banquet later in the evening after resting.Despite missing his sister Marina, who was staying at the Consano branch, Oasis didn't visit her immediately. He focused on resting, hoping to see her later."Wow, this place is still awesome," Oasis thought as he looked around the Bluefang Garden.It had been a long time since they had left Lunalith.Without wasting time, Oasis went inside and took a long bath in a wooden bathtub made from bamboo, located inside the main residence in the garden.For Oasis, it was refreshing and rejuvenating after surviving in Tir na Nog.Although it had only been two weeks in Verdantia, it felt like six months of surviving on bea
yawnOasis stretched and yawned as he woke up, feeling refreshed after his long sleep.He looked out from the large open window in his bedroom, observing the Bluefang Garden as the morning sun cast golden hues over the water features.Yawning again, he rubbed his eyes and walked to the living area of his residence, appreciating the big, comfortable seating pillows and the step below with a few guest seats.To the right was an open way to a mini library, and to the left, a sliding wooden door led to a mini treasure room.Near the main door, a beautifully arranged kitchen with a square table in the middle completed the cozy space."I've never really looked into this place fully, even when I was sleeping here before I went to the academy," Oasis thought."But now that I think about it, this place is really fancy."He marveled at the luxury of the Bluefang Garden, something he hadn't focused on before due to grieving Sir Elias and not spending much time in Lunalith."I have to go and see
Back at the Bluefang Garden, Oasis mused, "I've gained a lot of things in Tir na Nog, and I haven't checked most of them yet."His thoughts lingered on the egg Azael had given him."From the look of things, I was supposed to have already hatched it by now since Aya's has already hatched."After a lot of calculations, Oasis took out the token of the Bluefang Garden and activated the array, securing the garden from outside interference.He then took out the egg and placed it in a big round tray filled with flowers."So what now?" he thought. Without wasting time, he injected some of his mana into the egg.As his mana flowed into the egg, it began to shimmer and emit a faint glow, as if it had been dormant but was now being revived."Wow, I can feel movements as if it was dead but now suddenly revived," Oasis thought as he felt something stirring inside the egg.After a few minutes, he realized the egg was no longer absorbing his mana."Huh, what happened? Is it full for now?" Oasis wond
Marina was ecstatic to see Oasis after such a long time, and Oasis felt the same, despite feeling embarrassed.Memories of growing up under Marina's care flooded his mind, making him feel at home after a long time.Marina dropped everything she was doing to catch up with Oasis. They exchanged words, with disciples in the Consano Association surprised to see Marina so happy.Some whispered, wondering if they were mother and child, while others found the display of motherly love endearing.After a few hours, Oasis had to return to his garden to prepare for the banquet. Marina informed him that it was postponed and scheduled for the current day.As Oasis reached his garden, he found Zane waiting at the entrance of the small bridge."Fool, I've been waiting for you for ages here," Zane said, speaking to Oasis."Oi, Zane," Oasis waved his hand.Zane looked like a noble, just as he did when they first met."I won't be staying here," Zane said, taking a robe and shoes from his storage bracel
