Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2605
Phil stood tall and unmoved, unfazed by Karol's threats. His gaze remained steady, his expression calm and resolute. To him, Karol’s words were nothing but a joke. After all, if even Andrea had to show respect to this man, then no one in all of Eukrania would dare provoke him.Xayne’s presence was his shield. As long as Xayne was here, Phil had nothing to fear. There was no need to argue—Karol would soon face the consequences of his arrogance. Xayne casually sipped his coffee, showing no intention of stopping him from making the call. Karol ended the call with an air of triumph, but Xayne remained as calm and composed as ever.Moments later, it was Xayne's phone that rang. He glanced at the screen, Yves was calling him. Xayne answered."Xayne, about that intel, maybe we should let it go. The ambassadors from Fran and Sweren just met with the Emperor, expressing serious displeasure about your actions. Right now, diplomacy is at a critical stage, so the Emperor's suggestion is—""I'll
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2606
The moment Xayne finished speaking, Karol leaned back and let out a loud laugh. To him, this young man from Drakonia had no idea how deep the waters ran in this world. The person who was bold enough to talk like that in front of him hadn't been born yet.After laughing for a while, Karol pressed the speakerphone button and said to Xayne, "Kid, I'm just trying to save your life here. Tell you what, I'll give you a chance. If you get on your knees right now and apologize, I might consider letting you walk away from this. Otherwise, once the people I've called show up, it won't just be you who's screwed. Even your boss, Yves, will be dragged into a mess so big he won't see the light of day!"He wasn’t bluffing. With the power of the Keil family, they had been able to influence dozens of small Eukranian nations to sever ties with Drakonia. Such a move had been devastating for Drakonia’s global standing. They had risked getting completely shut out by both the Eukranian and Newcroa allianc
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2607
Masterson’s once-angry expression twisted into sheer terror—as if he had just seen a ghost. But Karol didn’t notice the subtle shift in his demeanor. He simply smirked, turned back toward Xayne, and spoke in an icy tone. "Now, kid—do you finally get it? The family backing me is the Keil family. They don’t just run the show in Fran, their influence spreads across every corner of Eukrania. No one can touch them—not in Fran, not anywhere."Even if Yves himself were here, he wouldn’t dare speak to me like that," Karol continued, his eyes glinting with confidence. "So tell me—do you still want me to hand over that intel? Do you still expect me to fly to Drakonia and face your so-called justice?"Karol threw his head back and laughed, the sound echoing through the grand hall. With the Keil family's chief steward here, backed by four Bi-Divine Commander bodyguards, this situation was locked in. No escape, no second chances. Even though Phil stood behind Xayne the whole time, he didn't dare
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2608
Before Karol could finish his sentence, Masterson swung his hand again. The crisp slap echoed through the hall, knocking out Karol's last front tooth. Karol's head buzzed. His thoughts were a blank mess. He couldn't understand what he had done wrong."Mr. Masterson! I've spent my whole life working for the Keil family! I've always been loyal. Why are you treating me like this?" Karol said with a mix of disbelief and defiance.Masterson sneered. "You want to know why? Yes, you've done a lot for the family. Your contributions were significant, no doubt. But right now, you've brought disaster to the Keil family! Compared to the mistake you just made, everything you've ever done is worthless. The fact that I'm only stripping you of your status as a Keil family member and not executing you on the spot is already an act of mercy!"Karol stood there in stunned silence as he heard that he had brought disaster to the Keil family."You have no idea who the man sitting in front of you is, do y
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2609
But after hearing what Masterson said, it would take Karol a ridiculous amount of courage just to survive. If he didn't fly to Drakonia to apologize, the Kuch family would be wiped out by the Keil family. Watching Xayne and Phil disappear into the distance, Karol's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground.Mario seemed to have come back alive after a trip through the gates of hell. Still wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mario glanced at Karol and shook his head. "Damn it, Karol. How could you be so reckless? Did you not bother checking who you were messing with before making a move?"Those were Karol's exact words to Xayne once upon a time, now Mario had thrown them right back in his face.The next morning, Phil showed up at the castle bright and early. His voice was polite but urgent."Mr. Xavier, Elkan, and one thousand pounds of gold have already been sent to Drakonia. Cantor family head hopes you'll give him a chance to redeem himself. He wants to invite you to a

Emilia noticed the darkening expression on Borre's face and suddenly seemed to remember something. She quickly stood up and shouted, "Excuse me, Mr. Borre. Xonor asked for leave today!"Phil had already arranged everything with the other teachers. As for the visiting instructors from Drakonia, he didn't even take them seriously. Phil had even gotten the school's vice principal on board. There was no way a few visiting teachers from Drakonia would dare cause trouble for Xayne, or so he thought.What he didn't expect was that Borre wasn't like the others. Luckily, Emilia acted fast and came up with an excuse. In her mind, Xayne was from Drakonia, and Borre was also from Drakonia. He'd probably look out for him.But as soon as Emilia finished speaking, Borre's brows shot up, and his voice turned ice-cold."What? Skipping on the first day of class? How bold! Maybe you don't understand how important this course on magnetic fields is. Even the great family heirs wouldn't dare miss my clas
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2611
Snow smirked to herself, questioning whether it was worth it getting so worked up over Xonor. He wasn't Xayne, after all. A nobody like him wasn't even worth her time. Someone like Xonor could be humiliated and crushed a thousand ways at this academy.As soon as he showed his face, she'd find countless ways to make him and the Xavier family a laughingstock. Even if Xayne was already gone, she'd make sure the Xavier family's name was completely ruined. Of course, no one else had any idea what she and Layney were plotting.Meanwhile, the class continued with Borre's lecture, which was unlike anything most students had ever heard before.For example, the tingling sensation when a magnet moved across the skin—perhaps everyone had experienced it before, but no one had ever given it much thought. No one had truly taken the time to perceive and comprehend the theory behind it. Understanding this was the key to what they would later encounter in the Formation Hall. Failing to grasp it now me
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2612
Hearing that, Emilia frowned in confusion. "Mr. Borre, I heard you say someone else was granted a month off. Why can't Mr. Xavier even get a single day? And isn't Mr. Xavier originally from Drakonia? Shouldn't you be looking out for him since you're both from the same place?"Emilia couldn't wrap her head around Borre's logic. The academic system in all the countries and families from Eukrania had seemed to be working against people from Drakonia. Yet, as a teacher, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of it.Borre scoffed, his eyes narrowing. "The person who called me is the descendant of a highly influential figure from Drakonia. Xonor is nothing compared to them!" Borre leaned back in his chair with a smug expression.Killian had joined the outer battlegrounds decades earlier and had become one of the key figures representing Drakonia. Even Wyncock had to show him respect. The elders from Wyncock had to call Killian 'senior.' His eldest son, Kaleo, had naturally held an equally high s

"There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al
Chapter 2687
"Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s
Chapter 2686
Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning
Chapter 2685
Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp
Chapter 2684
Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about
Chapter 2683
Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c
Chapter 2682
After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
