He then grasped Elara's hand with his palm. “Whoever your future life partner may be and whatever you decide, it is your choice and freedom. No one has the right to take that away from you! And I will make sure that not only this man but even that man named Claus will not take it from you!”

“Darrin…” Elara murmured, looking at the young man. She couldn't find the words to say, and her eyes welled up with tears. Her heart was deeply moved. She never imagined that Darrin cared so much about her and defended her with all his heart and soul.

Elara clung to Darrin's arm even tighter, not wanting to let go. She could say with great certainty to herself that this was the man she chose. This was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

On the other hand, what Darrin said made Asmodeus clench his jaws tightly. “How dare you!” His fists clenched even tighter. Without realizing it, he had exerted more than eighty percent of his internal energy, causing his palms to emit a bone-chil

    As Darrin requested, once the box was in her hands, Elara jumped back dozens of meters to distance herself from their fight.On the other side, shortly after that, a strong gust of wind was felt from behind Darrin. "Damn! Why do I feel his power suddenly increasing so rapidly?" he thought.Darrin didn't think too long before moving his body to the side. Just by feeling the gust of wind from his opponent's punch, he could estimate that his opponent had increased his internal energy manifold.Woosh!The punch Asmodeus launched didn't hit its target. However, it was enough to make Darrin raise his alertness and internal energy as well. "Damn!" muttered Darrin. "His power is indeed increasing!"While immersed in his shock, Darrin had to continuously move to dodge Asmodeus's punches that kept targeting the vital parts of his body. He couldn't afford to let his guard down, or he would have to face bitter consequences.Punch!Woosh!In just a few minutes, hundreds of punches and kicks relent

    Darrin sat on the ground, holding his side. His throat tasted metallic, and he felt something rising from his stomach.Spurt!A mouthful of thick blood spurted from his mouth. His body ached terribly, especially his ribs."How can he be this strong?" he thought. Asmodeus was ranked the same as him. However, the man's internal energy felt far more terrifying than his own.Darrin kept staring at the guard, his breathing slightly ragged. It was clear without saying who among the two of them was now superior. Even so, his eyes clearly showed that he held no fear of his opponent.On the other side, Asmodeus's lips widened, revealing a sinister smile. "Hahaha!" His body then vanished and appeared right in front of Darrin."I gave you a chance, but you wasted it. So, there's no one to blame but yourself! Your stupidity blinds you to the vast gap in our abilities!"Still panting, Darrin retorted, "You better save that speech for yourself!" He replied just as sharply. "I'm not dead yet, so the

    Asmodeus's words were very firm and intimidating, as was the glare from his eyes. Anyone who saw it would understand that the guard's mind was filled with a strong desire to kill.Such a gaze made Elara realize that merely pleading with words would not suffice.Without thinking too long, the girl slowly bent her knees, kneeling on the ground. It was something she had never done in her life, for anyone or for any reason. "Sir, for my life, I beg you to forgive my fiancé."When she said this, Elara no longer held her head high. With her head bowed, she begged earnestly, like a defendant pleading for mercy for their crime. However, what she did seemed to be in vain."I don't know what is in your mind." Asmodeus's voice sounded slightly higher, as if trying to suppress the growing anger in his heart."Punishment is punishment! Even if you offered your life to me to make me change my mind, it wouldn't change anything! My decision is final, this young man must die!""Then take my life!"Ela

    Elara might not understand why Darrin remained silent when she told him her plan to have them both escape. It wasn't because Darrin wasn't listening. He was experiencing something much more shocking than that.A few minutes earlier."System, I really need strength! Please, make me strong now!" Darrin pleaded earnestly in his heart. "I don't need to be stronger than anyone, I just want a little extra strength to defeat this bastard!"Until now, Darrin had never asked directly from his system. Not casually nor desperately. Whenever he had a wish, his system would respond without Darrin needing to voice it.But this time, the situation was different. Darrin desperately wanted that power. He wanted to defeat Asmodeus, a unique adversary who could rapidly increase his internal energy. Additionally, and this was his biggest and strongest reason, he wanted to protect Elara!With such a strong desire, of course, Darrin was genuinely hopeful that his system would grant his wish. However, as th

    A very bright white light emanated from Elara's body, so intense that it blinded Darrin's vision. Even though Darrin used his sensory enhancement technique, his eyes couldn't withstand the brilliance of the light. At that moment, there was nothing he could do but close his eyes."Darrin!"Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears. It came from quite a distance away. It wasn't Elara's voice, nor Asmodeus's. It was also not a voice he had ever heard before or from someone he knew.After a few moments, no longer sensing the glare of the light with his eyes closed, Darrin opened his eyes. At that moment, he saw his surroundings had changed. The warm, bright, and open space full of debris had turned into a dark, slightly cold room.Even so, Darrin didn't feel cold or weak. On the contrary, he felt his body had recovered, as if it had never been in pain or suffering."Darrin!"The voice echoed again, this time much closer than before. At the same time, two glowing orbs appeared from the darkness

    “No?” asked Darrin, a look of discomfort on his face. “What do you mean? She’s in danger, and I can’t let that happen. I have to help her!”“Hahaha!” The fox laughed again. “Calm down! Nothing will happen to her, but only if you listen to what I have to say.”“Alright! Say what you need to say!” Darrin said, his face still tense. He still didn’t understand what the fox actually meant. “After that, you have to keep your word that she’ll be safe!”“Of course!” The fox nodded. Its previously relaxed expression now turned a bit serious. It seemed to want to show Darrin that it wasn’t joking about its words.“You need to know that we are in a dimension outside of time,” Fenrisar continued. “No matter how long you stay here, it won’t affect what happens outside. Time out there will remain unchanged.”Darrin was a bit annoyed with the fox. However, when he heard those last few sentences and also noticed the sincerity on the animal’s face, he took a deep breath and exhaled. At least Elara was

    Darrin smiled broadly.He might not be able to ask his system to increase his power, but hearing Fenrisar's words, it now seemed possible. It seemed the problem would be solved.“Of course, you have the right to refuse if you disagree with this offer,” the fox continued. “You don't need to follow the goddess's will to take on the duties of the chosen young man. You are free to decide your own life!”As he spoke, the fox showed a sly smile. He seemed unconvinced that Darrin would waste this opportunity.And he was right!“No! I will accept this offer!” Darrin declared firmly. “I am willing to carry out the tasks given by the goddess!”Fenrisar's smile widened.“Really?” the fox teased. “Let me make everything clear. If you want to accept this offer, then first and foremost, from today, you must know that you are destined for this girl!” the fox said, directing his gaze at Elara.“She is the first person you must protect, in any situation. Only then, Lady Gabriella and all your other gi

    Gradually, the white light not only radiated from Darrin's eyes but also enveloped his face, head, neck, and then his entire body. This light seemed to blanket him entirely.As Fenrisar observed, this was a process where Darrin's body was digesting all the inner energy he had gained from the necklace.It took a few minutes for Darrin's body to absorb all the inner energy, marked by the white light gradually fading. When this light completely subsided from his body and eyes, something strange happened again.When Darrin opened his eyes, he now saw an expanse of vast and barren desert in front of him. As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but heaps of dry sand. This place was entirely unfamiliar to him as he had never seen, let alone visited, this place before.Then ahead, about ten meters away, something seemed to move from within the sand. Darrin kept watching it for a while until something red emerged from it. It was a symbol, rising into the air. A symbol of fire.The symb

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Chapter 342 - Finding the Vial

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
