Chapter: Chapter 612: The Silent Sovereign and Son.“Now I think the best way out of this is to seal my mana temporarily,” Oasis thought as he sat in the lotus position upon the woven mat in his chamber.The late afternoon light filtered faintly through the lattice windows, brushing his silhouette in pale gold.“Mmh… it is amazing how Lukan has already managed to wield the technique the way he can.I could tell from how quickly he linked the water mana within him to the mana in the atmosphere.Too bad he chose the wrong target to experiment on. Vesta is really something… and he can be petty at the same time.It seems Venak and Daku truly haven’t figured out who Vesta is.”He exhaled slowly, his breathing steady as a calm tide.“And as for Shiye, he is still focused on his cultivation. He is the only one delaying us from leaving this place.As soon as he comes out, we are leaving without any delay whatsoever.”The chamber was quiet—eerily so.The faint hum of circulating mana vibrated along the wooden beams, a resonance only a keen cult

Chapter: Chapter 611: The Ember’s Rebuke.“Let’s see how I fare. As long as I don’t kill the kid—I was given permission, after all,”Lukan thought, his lips curling faintly as he crouched behind the shade of a broad oak within the courtyard.He steadied his breathing.The afternoon air was warm, thick with the scent of trimmed grass and roasted meat drifting from the canopy where Vesta and Delvan sat.Sunlight filtered through the leaves in fractured beams, painting golden patterns across the stone paths.Servants passed in the distance, oblivious. Guards stood at ease, their gazes scanning lazily.“But this doesn’t feel right at all—me, an Enlightened, crouching like this to target a child,” he thought.Lukan slowly raised his hand.His fingers twitched—subtle, precise.A thin current of water mana stirred within his mana system, slipping toward his fingertips like a silent serpent.He extended his perception, attempting to connect his mana with the moisture lingering in the air around Vesta.The humidity beneath the tree ca

Chapter: Chapter 610: The Diverging Path of the Dragon.Somewhere in Aetheria — A Few Kilos South of the Meridian King PeaksFar south of the towering Meridian King Peaks, where the world fractured into jagged spires of stone and blade-like ridges, the air thinned into a sharp, crystalline chill.The mountains rose like the broken fangs of some ancient beast, their tips piercing the drifting seas of clouds.Winds screamed through narrow ravines, carrying with them the scent of cold and raw mana that shimmered faintly in the atmosphere.On the very edge of one such peak stood a solitary figure.He did not move.He stood tall and still, as though carved from the mountain itself, gazing over the vast expanse of the world below.Endless forests rolled like dark green oceans beneath him.Rivers shimmered like threads of silver.Far in the distance, plains stretched toward the horizon where earth kissed sky in a haze of pale gold.The wind rushed past him, tugging at his robes and sending his dark hair flowing backward.Yet the ends of that dark

Chapter: Chapter 609: The Architecture of Deterrence.Neftor nodded faster than his neck was meant to move.His head bobbed repeatedly, almost violently, as if afraid that a slower motion might be interpreted as hesitation.His face had turned pale, beads of sweat forming along his temples and sliding down past his jaw.The wind brushed against his torn shoulder, and each gust sent sharp jolts of pain radiating through his body.“Yes—yes…” Neftor stuttered, his voice trembling.His knees nearly buckled as another wave of agony surged through him.He clenched his teeth, trying to suppress a cry.The martial aura he had used to seal the wound flickered unevenly, struggling to stabilize the bleeding completely.“I won’t even dare listen—nor look—at anything that has to do with Lunaris,” he continued hurriedly.“Even if I see writings about Lunaris, I will look the other way.”His voice cracked on the last words.“Good,” Zane replied calmly.He did not even spare Neftor another glance.“Let’s go, Elder Yuri.”With that, Zane ascended even fu

Chapter: Chapter 608: The Traitor’s Mercy.“This kid is truly remarkable… no wonder I lost to him. If he had wanted me dead, I would have already crossed over alongside the rest of the Evening Reapers.”Yuri hovered a short distance away, the tall grasses of the plain swaying gently around his boots as he watched Zane’s back.The dark azure lightning still crackled faintly in the air, residual arcs snapping and fading like dying embers of a storm.His gaze was steady, analytical.“The spell he just used…” Yuri thought deeply. “He turned the entire area into his weapon.”His eyes scanned the faint distortions in the atmosphere.“He ionized the air within a specific radius—created a domain of his own authority.”A slow breath escaped him.“A zone where he controlled the electrical resistance of every molecule.”Even now, faint traces of altered mana patterns lingered like invisible threads woven into the environment.“And I was within that radius,” Yuri continued inwardly. “Yet I wasn’t touched.”That realization impressed him t

Chapter: Chapter 607: Silent Tempest's horror.“Kill them!” Triggered shouted.His blade flashed free from its sheath in a sharp metallic hiss, the steel catching the light as he pointed it straight at Zane and Yuri.In that instant, the formation behind him exploded into motion.The three Awakened cultivators positioned behind Triggered moved first—disciplined and coordinated.Two of them slid sideways in opposite directions, feet skimming just above the grass as they flanked outward, seeking blind angles.The third surged forward directly toward Zane, his boots tearing shallow furrows into the earth beneath him.At the same time, the other Enlightened cultivator at the rear dropped down and launched upward.He shot into the sky like an arrow.His martial aura ignited around him—bright, forceful, flaring crimson-orange—and from midair he extended both hands and unleashed a barrage of aura-reinforced projectiles.Dozens.Thin spears of condensed martial energy screamed downward in a wide arc, covering the battlefield in an overwhe

Chapter: Absolute resolve(2)Placing his hand on the stone, he envisioned the kampilan—a traditional Filipino weapon.Divine energy surged from his hand, wrapping around the ore as it began to shift and solidify, transforming into the weapon he had imagined.As it took form, he spoke with reverence,"I, Tiyaga, behold my weapon before the Creator Elohim and in the name of my Lord Ares. I name you Anito." The weapon shimmered as it fully awakened, a black blade with a lining of silver along its edge.The blade itself bore tiny white spots around the hilt, like stars against the night, and a short rope extended from the hilt, bearing the banner of Ares.Near the hilt, in delicate engraving, was the mark of Hephaestus, affirming its divine origin.The sight was mesmerizing—a weapon uniquely his, resonating with power and purpose, crafted through divine will.The weapon solidified in Rico's hand, gleaming with a faint, divine light that pulsed as if alive.Just as he marveled at Anito, a system display flashed befor

Chapter: Absolute resolve(1)As Rico's voice rang out, his sharp command snapped his subordinates out of hesitation."Not enough wits!" he shouted, his tone filled with fiery resolve."Come at me already! If you flinch, you die!" They were in the thick of day two, and Rico's group was already dripping with sweat, their clothes, freshly washed the night before, now torn and ragged.Despite the exhaustion on their faces, there was a newfound resilience in their eyes, a fierceness that hadn't been there before.Some among them had begun to manifest the Shield of Fortitude, only to have it shattered by Rico's relentless strikes.A few dodged one or two of his attacks, proving their growth, while others were learning to evade more frequently.Anyone watching might have mistaken this for a real battle, as each trainee faced off with genuine intensity, pushing themselves to keep up with their commanding officer.Rico's taunts only drove them harder, silencing any fleeting thoughts of undermining him.Those harboring ev

Chapter: Late at the party(2)Behind him, his subordinates, synchronized in movement, mirrored him, showing their deference and silently apologizing for their late arrival.The hall held its breath as the commanders nodded approvingly, acknowledging Rico's respectful gesture.The room, still silent, watched the display of respect, surprised by the discipline and unity they radiated.Rico's group had made a powerful entrance, one that would not be forgotten anytime soon.As Rico took his seat, Demetrius's sharp eyes observed him closely, a glimmer of intrigue flickering.Mmh…fascinating. I can still sense the faint residue of Holy Aura around him, he mused silently, his gaze assessing.Another commander across the hall noticed the same and exchanged a confirming nod with Demetrius,both struck by the rarity of what they were witnessing.For a novice-ranked warrior to wield Holy Aura was unheard of—it was a privilege reserved for high-ranking beings.Few possessed the strength and mastery to channel it, and for Rico

Chapter: Late at the party(1)Huff! Huff! Huff!The air was thick with the sound of heavy breathing, each member of Rico's squad gasping as they braced themselves against the relentless training.Hours had passed with no breaks, pushing each of them to the brink as Rico, now armed with his Holy Aura, had sparred them into exhaustion.Despite his rank of Warrior (Novice), Rico's strength far surpassed his title, and it showed.He stood amidst his battered, bruised subordinates, grinning as he took in the sight before him.The training uniforms on most of them were torn, ripped at the seams or stained with dirt and sweat.Some even bore visible bruises, reminders of the blows they'd taken.They looked like they had just returned from a real battle—but this was only sparring.Rico had found something profound here.He had been bullied on Earth, labeled a loser, but here, he felt respected, valued, and at peace—a priceless feeling.His memories might remind him of his past life, but the present offered something great

Chapter: Commander TiyagoA ding echoed in Rico's mind as his abilities settled into place.With his senses heightened by Battlefield Awareness, Rico watched as his subordinates hesitated before charging at him.He shifted into his stance, focusing on his Dance of the Evasive Wind and moving with fluid precision,sidestepping each strike with graceful, measured footwork.His reflexes felt sharp as he ducked a blow from Leonidas, spinning to deflect a kick from Callista with his arm, his grin never wavering."Come on! Is that all?" he taunted.Theron attempted a bold swing toward him, but Rico activated his Shield of Fortitude, absorbing the impact with ease.The divine energy around him seemed to pulse as the shield dissipated the blow, leaving him unfazed."Not bad, but let's see how you handle this."Rico's expression shifted to one of fierce determination as he activated Wrathful Strike Series,channeling his divine energy into a powerful attack, deliberately slowing his strike to test their reactions.His
