Chapter 685: The Sound of Civilization.
The young man’s expression shifted ever so slightly at Vesta’s words. It was subtle, but unmistakable. His calm demeanor cracked just enough to reveal a flicker of tension beneath.Slowly, he lowered the flute from just above the chest, his fingers tightening around it—not as an instrument now, but as something that could just as easily become a weapon.Vesta noticed.His brow lifted ever so slightly, and the smirk on his face deepened, curling with arrogance and challenge. His golden eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, locked onto the young man as if he had already measured him, already decided the outcome.That smirk alone seemed to say everything—I will beat you to a pulp.The air between them grew heavy, charged with an invisible tension that threatened to erupt at any moment. The wind slowed, the grass stilled, and even the distant night sounds seemed to retreat, as though the world itself anticipated what might come next.“Damn… damn… damn…” Shiye thought urgently as he sensed

After dozens of minutes elsewhere in the west, where Vesta and Du Shiye had ventured, the two had long been traversing the vast plains of tall, thick grass.The endless sea of swaying green brushed against their bodies with every step, whispering under the breath of the night wind.Along their path, they had encountered more of the Thunder Gathering Wolves, yet none posed any real challenge. Each beast that emerged from the darkness met the same fate—swift, silent, and absolute.Even though Shiye had previously stated that he would refrain from using poison so that they could preserve the meat, habit proved stronger than intention.One after another, every wolf was dispatched in the same precise manner as before—senbons piercing vital points, venom coursing instantly through their systems.Not a single beast was spared that silent execution. And as a result, Vesta once again found himself deprived of the meat he so eagerly craved.Whenever Vesta complained, his tone laced with frustra
Chapter 683: Those Who Are Not Affected by Morality.
Kivic simply shook his head, clearly in disagreement with the possibility Hudo had just raised. The motion was slow, deliberate, as though he were dismissing not just the idea itself, but the weight of what it implied.Before either Raven or Kivic could respond further, Hudo continued speaking. He brought one hand up to his chin, his brows knitting slightly as his gaze lowered toward his own bare feet pressing against the warm ground beneath him.The glow of the cyan flames flickered across his skin, casting shifting shadows along his expression as he fell into thought, his stance relaxed yet strangely focused.“I wouldn’t imagine being in a prison like that myself,” Hudo began, his tone contemplative yet steady. “Wouldn’t it be just better choosing death over being thrown into such a place?And how can a human even think of creating such a place? That kind of prison is torture… even by our standards.”He lifted his gaze slightly, though not fully meeting Kivic’s eyes.“As much as eve

Hudo and Raven’s eyes widened as they struggled to digest what they were being told by Kivic. The weight of his words pressed down on them far heavier than the oppressive aura that lingered in the air.Though everything he said could have easily been dismissed as nothing more than an elaborate story, there was something about the way he spoke—calm, unembellished, and almost indifferent—that made it feel far more truthful than the glorified tales they had grown up hearing from their elders and parents, stories polished and beautified to inspire rather than to reveal the harshness of reality.For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Their thoughts churned, tangled between disbelief and reluctant acceptance, yet no words came out.Even the night itself seemed to quiet in response, as if the forest around them understood the gravity of what had just been revealed. Kivic noticed their silence immediately.He had seen that look before—on countless faces, across countless years—and without

Evidently, Kivic was truly impressed by how the two had answered him. Raven’s analysis, in particular, had caught him off guard—it was not something one would expect from someone of her standing or age.Even with his cultivation diminished to merely the Enlightened Realm, he still carried the experience, perception, and depth of a Saint Realm cultivator.From that vantage, he could tell—without a shred of doubt—that Raven’s insight into the martial world would take her far.As for Hudo, his self-taught talent and instinctive understanding of stealth and survival spoke volumes. If that raw ability were ever properly guided and refined, the boy would become something formidable.A few breaths of silence passed before Kivic suddenly forced a cough, raising a hand to his throat as if to clear it.The sound broke the stillness, drawing both Raven and Hudo’s attention back to him.“I have heard—and come to realize—that most of the younger generations do not believe in Elysiome… nor in the e
Chapter 680: Perspective of the young.
For a moment after Raven had raised the question, Kivic could not help but lift his gaze toward the towering cyan flames. The question itself lingered in his mind, fascinating him almost as much as the flames before him. He stood roughly fifty steps away from them, yet they loomed immensely, rising like pillars that sought to pierce the heavens. Under normal circumstances, flames of such a sacred nature—burning tens of times hotter than ordinary fire—would render even that distance a forbidden zone, a place where life could not endure. And yet, strangely, these flames did not behave as expected. The heat that reached him was intense, yes, but still bearable. It did not scorch his flesh or devour the air from his lungs. Instead, what emanated from them was something deeper, something more commanding—a presence. It was as if the flames themselves were issuing a silent decree, warning all who beheld them not to step any closer beyond a certain unseen boundary. It was not merely heat
