Chapter 1386
Author: Oldwell
The voice belonged to none other than Alfie, who had parted ways with them.

How did they end up here?

Remus glanced at Bucky, his expression one of surprise, mirroring Bucky's own puzzled look.

The cave strayed from their intended path to the assessment venue—not just slightly off-route, but requiring a significant detour. It was an area usually abandoned, rarely frequented by beasts or humans alike due to its scarce resources.

Yet, here they were, confronted by an unexpected presence outside the cave.

Outside the cave, a dense forest sprawled into the distance.

Behind them, a cliff soared 100 yards into the sky, its face sheer as if cleaved with a knife and ax. Devoid of trees, the cliff was draped in a tapestry of herbaceous plants, lending it a deceptively lush appearance.

At the foot of the cliff stood a giant black bear-like beast.

The black bear was extremely tall, standing over 20 feet.

If it were in the city, it could almost reach the windowsills of the third floor wh

    Bucky first nodded, then shook its head.Did Bucky recognize the black bear?Indeed, it recognized the bear beast. Among all beasts, only the black bear could contend with it at an equal cultivation level. It had already identified the black bear outside.However, Remus' mention of acquaintance probably referred to a relationship, which there wasn't. Perhaps the black bear was from the depths of the mountains, chased here by their sighting.Seeing Bucky's denial, Remus didn't dwell on it.If there was no relationship, he naturally wouldn't act like a saint to help. He would wait for them to finish and then leave.It was better to mind one's own business.Outside the cave, Bartholomew spotted the black bear charging toward him. Yet, he stood his ground, as the vast forest loomed behind him.Should the bear flee into the forest, there was no telling how long the pursuit might last, especially with its roar echoing so powerfully. If it attracted others, all their efforts would b

    The bear's fur continuously bombarded Bartholomew's protective spirit energy, visibly depleting it and turning his complexion pale.The fur flew not only toward Bartholomew but also toward Pierce and the others, forcing all three to repeatedly retreat while deploying their defenses.They had greatly underestimated the black bear's capabilities.All four retreated several yards, their spirit energy largely depleted, barely managing to stop their tracks.Meanwhile, the black bear stood its ground, roaring and howling nonstop, struggling to break the chains and raising its front paws to remove the spear."Quick, continue!" Bartholomew commanded once more.At his signal, the team's cohesion and swift action were once again evident as they launched another coordinated attack from four different directions, not hesitating for a moment.The black bear became more ferocious than ever and glared with its remaining eye, which turned a blood-red hue.Spotting Gerard charging from the left

    "And you both, don't reveal our motives either," Bartholomew said.The trio nodded.Without further ado, Bartholomew simply commanded, "Retrieve the inner core, then let's move on!"At his command, Pierce summoned his long sword, ready to extract the inner core.But then, rustling noises from the forests caught their attention."Who's there?" All four turned simultaneously, alert and ready to make a move.From the shadows of the trees, three figures stepped forward. It was Hadden and his companions, much to everyone's surprise.The group was momentarily taken aback.How had these relentless pursuers found them here?Hadden's group also froze upon seeing them, having rushed over at the sound of the beast, expecting other cultivators and not them again.After a few seconds of eye contact, Alfie couldn't hold back anymore, saying, "Haven't you had enough? You can't just keep targeting us. Do you think we're afraid of a fight to the death?"Bartholomew was also furious.Again

    "Hand over the inner cores now!" Hadden's voice raised, and his face suddenly became serious.Bartholomew and his group were shaken by the force of his voice. They were infuriated at Hadden's demeanor.If Hadden hadn't appeared, sending Remus away might have felt somewhat satisfying. But his arrival changed everything.If Remus were here, Hadden wouldn't dare to attack them.It was just a step short of being powerful enough to deter them.How utterly infuriating."You..." Pierce gritted his teeth."Come and get it yourself!" Gerard quickly conjured his weapon, brimming with killing intent.However, Bartholomew still maintained his reason, recognizing that while they might have overpowered Hadden at their peak, their current depleted state left them at a disadvantage.Moreover, Hadden was unburdened by the desire to enter the sacred grounds and had nothing to lose, whereas Bartholomew still harbored that aspiration and couldn't afford to take risks.Raising his hand to signal

    Hadden charged forward like a specter, conjured a mace in his hand in the blink of an eye, and aimed a blow at Pierce and the others.Bartholomew had no way out. He was reluctant to engage, but the fight had already started. He could only join in and release his spirit energy, summoning his spear for a full-force strike at Hadden.Hadden's focus was squarely on Pierce and Gerard, underestimating Bartholomew and assuming he wouldn't join the fray, especially given his injured arm and compromised condition.He couldn't dodge in time and was instantly pierced in the abdomen. His abdomen instantly turned a bloody red. Although it looked severe, it was just a superficial wound."How dare you hurt me?" Hadden roared furiously, grabbing the spear with one hand and swinging the mace aggressively. "Kill them all!" he shouted.Hearing his command, the two men at his sides no longer held back.Their spirit energy burst forth wildly, and the maces in their hands grew to more than double th

    Both sides were now fighting desperately.The two men beside Hadden didn't hesitate, quickly swallowing an Energy Replenishing Pill each. The pill dissolved upon entering their mouths, rapidly replenishing their spirit energy. Sensing the effects, the two of them were stunned, looking incredulously at Hadden.Hadden was equally surprised. His fierce expression froze into one of astonishment because the potency of the pills far exceeded his expectations.Normally, Energy Replenishing Pills had minimal effect on them and were far from being a lifesaver. They were barely of use to them.Yet, the spirit energy replenishment from that pill was about 10 percent.It was practically a miracle pill.Not only did they feel the change, but Bartholomew and his team also noticed the shift. Their complexions became rosier, and their weapons more solid."Remus, you should pay with your life for this!" Bartholomew bellowed furiously.Without those pills, they might have managed to intimida

    "Be careful!" Hadden yelled in agitation.Almost simultaneously, the blade fell.The man was truly split in two this time.Hadden watched the scene unfold and, with veins bulging and eyes nearly bursting in fury, screamed, "You're all going to die, all of you!"Those two men had been his followers for many years.How could he stand by and watch them perish without feeling anything?He began moving even faster. In the blink of an eye, he struck the shadow's head dozens of times. Then, he leaped dozens of meters high and descended rapidly, seemingly ready to use all his spirit energy in that one strike.The shadow raised its head, staring at Hadden, and didn't retreat either. It swung its long knife toward Hadden fiercely.The impact from their clash sent out a shockwave, slicing all trees within 100 yards at their base. Even the vegetation on the cliff behind them was severed, falling like a waterfall and revealing the originally pitch-black rock surface. At the next moment,

    By the time the final strike shattered their spirit energy and cut through the vegetation on the cliff, Remus and Bucky had already been exposed.It was only because everyone had been so intensely focused on the battle that they didn't notice them until now.Remus felt helpless. He had planned to continue watching the show until it ended, as he was always the one to take action and never had the chance to sit back and watch others fight it out.He intended to step out after everything had ended. But things hadn't gone as he wished.He laughed and said, "Carry on, I'm just passing by. Don't mind me, haha."His laughter was out of place on the bloody battlefield.But why should he let their sorrow weigh on him?"Remus, save me, please save me! Kill this bastard, and we'll take you to the sacred lands for the assessment. Kill him, quickly." Alfie's eyes sparkled with hope.Bartholomew and the others saw hope too."Remus, others may have wronged you, but I haven't. I've always t

    At that moment, Darsia was located in the eye of the storm.All the people had gone into hiding, while all members of the military department were ready. Every warrior and cultivator was poised for action, and all the beats were glaring fiercely.Kaiser stood at the front, with Remus' partners behind him, followed by all the people of Darsia. They were all facing east, waiting for Amelicon's forces to arrive.Anove them, Francis, Roman, the four ghost kings, and even Candace had all gathered there, their expressions serious as they solemnly looked toward the east.Everyone remained silent and still, just waiting.After about four hours, on the sea surface directly east of Darsia, waves finally appeared. Soon after, a massive and overwhelming force from Amelicon arrived.In reality, when considering the number of people and equipment, Darsia's Mortal Realm was comparable to Amelicon's. In fact, with Darsia having the home advantage, its equipment was more complete, and its firepow

    Time kept passing by.The four ghost kings were stationed at different corners of Darsia. Meanwhile, Roman continued to recover his energy, and Francis gazed into the distance, still and deep in thought.At the very top, Rafael and Melody were still unconscious in the formations.As for the Mortal Realm, the people were already aware of what was going to happen. Given the significance of the event, it was important to inform them in advance so they could be prepared.Unlike in the past, there was no panic. Instead, everything was very orderly, and there was no need for excessive organization. Everyone knew what they needed to do.This was what Francis referred to as having depth and experience. Darsia had a history spanning millennia and had been through a variety of events.Although none of them were as critical as the potential threat of national destruction they're currently facing, they'd gone through similar situations dozens of times and had learned lessons from history.N

    Both Roman and Francis remained silent, acting as if the other didn't exist.Neither of them knew how much time had passed, but eventually, they both looked at each other simultaneously. Francis' gaze was calm. On the other hand, Roman's gaze initially held a hint of anger but then shifted to a sense of calmness.The reason why the two were looking at each other was straightforward. Roman was still suspicious of Francis, and Francis knew that.After about half an hour, Roman finally couldn't hold back and said, "I want to hear the truth!"Francis retorted, "Is it really necessary?""It's absolutely necessary. The survival of Darsia's three realms is at stake, and I must get to the bottom of this.""All you need to know is that I've returned to defend Darsia against external threats, and I won't be taking any action against you in the short term."Roman chuckled. "Even if you attacked me, what difference does it make? At worst, I face death, but this is an era of great upheaval w

    In the end, this issue was still raised.Kaiser's lips twitched slightly. He had been wondering the same thing but didn't have the chance to ask.Discomfort also appeared on the ghost kings' faces. They had naturally thought about the matter, too, but due to their fear of Francis, they didn't know how to bring it up. Moreover, considering Francis' demeanor, it seemed fine not to ask.But now that Roman had voiced that question, all they could do was wait for Francis' response.Francis asked casually, "Why do YOU think Amez helped me and let me return?"Roman remained unfazed. "I'm not sure. That's why I need you to answer!"Francis looked at him intently and replied, "Alright, I suppose it's not just you who wants to know. The others are probably curious, too."In that case, I'll tell you. The reason I gave Amez is straightforward—I wanted to return for revenge. Amez believed that my revenge against you all would be highly effective, which was why he decided to help me recover."

    Based on the analysis, this was indeed the case. Remus had been gone for so long, and the fact that Tyson, as his mentor, hadn't shown up yet was quite unusual. So, what was he planning?Just as everyone was speculating, Francis suddenly spoke up. "Amez is coming with Amelicon's deities."Everyone suddenly turned to look at him, their eyes widening uncontrollably. Did he just say Amez was about to arrive?Even though they already knew they would be coming, hearing it directly from Francis was still quite shocking.Francis ignored their expressions and continued, "So, no matter what the Monarch's mentor is plotting, it no longer matters. The most important thing right now is figuring out how to get through the present situation."Everyone else's expression became serious. Francis' words made sense.Bringing up Tyson was merely a distraction from their argument about the Three Realms' ruler. While it was important to investigate what Tyson was planning, it was less significant comp

    "It can only be me!" Francis immediately added.As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked at Roman. Since none of them were eligible to compete, Francis' comments were directed solely at him. How would he respond?Roman's expression changed, and he was unsure of how to respond. If he acknowledged Francis, wouldn't that mean admitting defeat, rendering all his previous efforts futile? Additionally, it was embarrassing.But if he refused to acknowledge Francis, his current capabilities just didn't allow it. There was no way for him to win against Francis at the moment. What should he do?After a moment of reflection, he replied, "With external threats looming, it's too early to consider this issue. We don't even know if we can withstand the current challenge. If we manage to get through it, there's still time to think about that later."He could only delay the matter now.Francis said calmly, "It's precisely because we are facing external threats that there

    Finally, Roman crashed against the giant blade, and a sudden loud boom rang out.Then, something completely unexpected happened—the massive blade suddenly shattered like glass. Countless fragments scattered through the air like shooting stars, flying a short distance away before disappearing completely.As for Roman, he remained in the same spot where the massive blade used to be, completely unharmed.Roman burst into an exaggerated and unprecedented laugh, echoing continuously through the space."Why did this happen?""Could it be that the emperor has had a secret plan all along?""But the emperor wasn't protected by any energy. He shouldn't have been able to shatter the giant blade.""Why..."The four ghost kings were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They knew very well just how terrifying the blade was.Perhaps in their prime, they might have been able to withstand it, but in their current state, they couldn't even be sure they could dodge it. Yet, Roman did

    Even at this point, Roman still couldn't believe Francis would truly act against him.His reasoning was still the same—he didn't believe Francis would just stand by and watch as Darsia was destroyed and its people perish. He didn't believe Francis would simply watch this land be devastated and taken over by outsiders!"Of course!" Francis responded succinctly, and as soon as these words were spoken, the blade started dropping down on Roman.The ghost kings' expressions drastically changed, filled with terror in an instant, forgetting to even fight back.On the other hand, Roman knew he had to defend himself but continued to persevere, not believing that Francis would go to such extremes.But at that moment, Kaiser shouted from below, "Wait!"Kaiser had witnessed the entire scene and was already completely stunned by the suddenness of everything. He was momentarily in a daze, but when he saw the giant blade descending, he realized that if he didn't speak up now, it would be too la

    Hearing these straightforward words, Roman, the four ghost kings, and Kaiser were all stunned. They couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Why would Amez help him recover? The implications behind this fact were hugely problematic."Why… Why did he help you recover?" Roman still asked.The ghost kings were trembling more and more noticeably. Kaiser also began to shake uncontrollably because he already had a bad feeling about the situation.Francis openly stated, "Because I promised to be his inside contact for attacking Darsia, making it easier for him to take over this land. Do you think there's any other reason he would help me?"Francis burst into laughter, one that was openly and extremely mocking, deeply disdainful.The four ghost kings stepped back simultaneously upon hearing these words, driven by a mix of fear, but also because it was an uncontrollable reaction.To be honest, just facing Francis alone was already beyond their capabilities. Even more daunting was the
