Chapter 481
Elijah just took a look at the grandmaster. A thick black combat coat reinforced with dark metal threading, sleeveless to reveal his battle-hardened arms.Traditional Obsidian Gauntlets, rumored to be unbreakable, fitted over his forearms.Heavy black boots that left small cracks in the ground when he landed.Around his waist, a wide crimson belt embroidered with symbols of the Grandmasters’ Order.And behind him…his presence alone warped the air, making it ripple like heat over molten metal.He turned his gaze toward Elijah, and the wind itself seemed to hold its breath.Elder Edmund stepped forward immediately, straightening his robe and forcing a respectful, relieved smile onto his face. The ground still trembled faintly from Shank Thorian’s arrival, but Edmund walked with confidence.When he reached the towering Grandmaster, he placed a hand over his chest and bowed slightly.“Grandmaster Shank,” Edmund said, voice full of reverence.“It has truly been a long time.”Shank’s cold

“You see?You’re powerful, Aurora Halden.Very powerful.But fighting me with a sword…”He stepped closer, eyes glowing.“…is like attacking a mountain with a feather.”Aurora’s grip tightened.Her pride burned.She charged again—“HAAAAA!!!”Sword raised.Elijah moved his hand—just one hand—and caught the sword mid-strike.CLANG!!!Aurora’s eyes widened in horror.He held the blade…with his bare hand.Not a drop of blood.Everyone stood frozen.Elijah leaned in and whispered:“Is that your full strength?”Aurora froze, her breath caught in her throat—because Elijah’s fingers tightened around the blade.Just a little.Just enough.CRRRRKKKK… CRAAAAACK!!!Everyone’s eyes widened—SNAP!!!In a split second, Elijah broke the sword cleanly into two, the metal screeching as if it were cheap plastic.Pieces of the blade flew across the courtyard, clattering against the stone.Aurora stumbled back in shock, her hands trembling, staring at the broken hilt in disbelief.Elijah’s expression
Chapter 479
Elijah?He laughed.Not a nervous laugh.A deep, full, amused laugh that echoed around the entire Halden compound.“Hahahaha… oh Aurora Halden…”He slowly spun the sword in his hand——then threw it toward her, letting it land before her feet with a metallic clink.Gasps occurred all around.Elijah pointed at the sword mockingly.“Use that.I’ll use my bare hands.”Aurora blinked once, stunned.Elijah stepped forward, hands behind his back as if offering his neck.“Using my full strength,” he said softly, “would be enough… to make you die from just the wind generated before the strike even touches you.”The courtyard froze.Not a single soul breathed.He tilted his head, smiling in a way that made even Edmund’s spine tingle.“So I won’t use full strength.”He raised one finger.“Else the fight ends before you even blink.”He then spread his arms slightly, taunting.“I dare you.Please… kill me.”Aurora finally exhaled, eyes narrowing into a blade’s edge.She bent down, picked up the sw

The guard’s mouth opened, a silent gasp of shock choking in his throat. His legs trembled beneath him as blood spread down his uniform.Everyone froze.Everyone.Aurora’s scream died in her throat.Edmund’s jaw dropped.Dorain’s breath vanished.The courtyard fell silent — suffocatingly quiet.Elijah leaned close to the dying man and whispered something only he could hear…And then he yanked the blade free, letting the guard collapse like a lifeless sack at his feet.Elijah straightened, sword dripping, eyes cold.Elijah flicked the blood from the sword. He looked at the remaining guards… then at Edmund… then at Aurora… and finally lowered his gaze to the corpse at his feet.Slowly, a smile curled across his lips. He raised his head, his voice deep and unshaken:“You people really thought you could beat me to death?”Silence thickened.The guards tensed, unsure if they should attack or run.Elijah took one step forward, sword casually resting against his shoulder.“I stand undefeated.
Chapter 477
Aurora stepped forward abruptly, her sharp heels clicking against the stone — a sudden interruption to the guards’ greedy fantasizing.Her crimson eyes narrowed, analyzing Elijah with the precision of a seasoned strategist.“You three,” she commanded, her voice crisp and authoritative. “Don’t rush him one by one. That’s what the others did — and you saw how they ended up.”The guards stiffened, listening.Aurora pointed at the scarred one first.“You, take his left side. Target his weak spots — knees, ribs, the wrist he uses to strike.”Then she turned to the lean one.“You flank from the right — keep him pressured and off balance. Don’t let him dodge freely.”Finally, she met the youngest guard’s eyes.“And you — go straight for his head. Fast strikes. Don’t give him a second to counter. The moment he focuses on one of you, the other two must strike.”Her tone grew colder.“He’s fast — faster than you’ve seen. So end it before he has time to think.”The guards adjusted their grips, r
Chapter 476
The seven shifted, jaws working. One let out a short, bitter laugh. “You think you can buy your way with words?” he snapped. Another spat on the ground. “We don’t make deals with strangers.”For a long second nobody moved — then one of them lunged. The courtyard exploded into motion.The sound of shifting boots filled the courtyard. One man cracked his neck, another rolled his shoulders, and in the next heartbeat—Swoosh!A sword sliced through the air, coming straight for Elijah’s head. He tilted slightly, letting the blade pass just inches from his ear. His hand shot up, catching the attacker’s wrist mid-swing. The man’s eyes widened—then Elijah twisted.Crack!The man’s wrist bent backward unnaturally, and Elijah drove his knee into his chest, sending him sprawling into the stone wall.The next two came together, one with a dagger, the other bare-handed but fast. The dagger flashed toward Elijah’s ribs. He spun away, the blade grazing his shirt, and swept his leg low—Thud!The man
