After the sun had set, Sleeping Dragon Bay buzzed with the hustle and bustle of hundreds of Dusk Soldiers.Each one carried fist-sized black solids Harry had prepared and positioned themselves behind each blowing machine.Isaac, Todd, Magnus, and the others waited in silence inside the study."Isaac, I need to step outside for a bit. The atmosphere here is too tense. It's almost as if we're bracing for the end," Altair commented with a grimace before rising to leave."How can you be so sure that they'll attack?" Mizar looked up at Isaac after a moment of contemplation.Isaac puffed out a ring of smoke, glanced toward Magnus, and said in a low tone, "Mr. Moonshadow and Apothecary have both confirmed that the effect of the ancient Ruby Resurgence Pill is temporary and will last only a few days. "These Celestial Phase warriors will be no more than corpses after the effects wear out. Neither the Ashleigh clan nor Morgan would miss the chance to exploit these expendable forces."Jus

Isaac remained alone in Dragon Villa No. 1, serving as a decoy to distract Linus, Hugh, and the others.His solitary stand also aimed to provide Harry with precise intelligence since the villa housing Harry didn't have a clear line of sight to Dragon Villa No. 1.At that critical moment, there stood a high-power blowing machine in another villa across the street to the right on the second-floor room with all its windows shattered.In front of this machine was an iron tub filled with fist-sized black solids that resembled irregular pieces of charcoal.Two Dusk Soldiers were stationed by the iron tub.A cold gleam flashed in Harry's eyes upon hearing Isaac's command. He firmly instructed through the earpiece, "Light it up now."One of the Dusk Soldiers promptly knelt to ignite the solid alcohol beneath the tub.The flames quickly took hold, and a dense, medicinal blue smoke began to waft from the tub.The blowing machine was turned on, dispersing the blue smoke through the shatte

Harry's expression burst into one of triumphant delight, and his hands clapped together as he laughed. "It's working! It's working!" Hugh seemed to suspect something, his eyes narrowing as he bellowed, "Isaac, what have you done?"Over 300 Celestial Phase martial artists had fallen to the ground in less than a minute as though cut down by an unseen scythe.Phineas and those who were first to fall were already bleeding from their noses and mouths. Plus, their internal organs were starting to liquefy into thick blood."The ancient Ruby Resurgence Pill was your handiwork, wasn't it? They would be dead sooner or later anyway. I simply expedited their demise. Is there anything wrong with that?" Isaac said. His eyes had deepened to a fiery red by now, and the spiritual energy within his power core swirled chaotically.Isaac's intense gaze briefly met Heath's in the crowd behind Hugh before swiftly diverting."Kill!" Isaac was consumed by fury.He wielded the Skyrend Sword and surge

Thud!The sound of Tyger's head rolling on the ground resonated sharply.Taking advantage of Hugh's momentary distraction, Hera unleashed an attack with her purple spiritual energy before quickly retreating to Isaac's side.Hugh squinted his eyes upon noticing Tyger's severed head."Tyger!""Tyger?"Linus and Lucius also diverted their attention upon hearing Isaac's exclamation.The sight of the dark mass on the ground caused both patriarchs' eyes to narrow sharply. Their expressions turned venomous as they directed their gazes toward Isaac.The fact that Tyger had been slain and his head severed by Isaac was beyond their comprehension.Several Elders from the Norton family collapsed to their knees after witnessing the scene, their cries of grief echoing loudly."If I can kill Tyger, I can also kill you, Lucius. And you as well, Hugh," Isaac's eyes were blood-red, and he pointed menacingly at Lucius and then at Hugh.Todd supported a wounded Altair and made his way toward Is

Morgan arrived without any detectable spiritual energy fluctuations, much like the man in black, leaving almost everyone present unaware of his approach until he was nearly upon them.This could have been due to their vastly superior strength, or perhaps both had honed their spiritual energy to the zenith of concealment.The man in black's gaze shifted slightly upon noticing Morgan."General Yule, save me!" Recognizing Morgan, Hugh clearly prioritized his survival above all else despite having disgraced him.Lucius, Linus, and the others also knelt in unison, exclaiming, "General Yule!"Every member of Isaac's group directed their attention toward Morgan at this. Hera, in particular, had a pale face. Her body also started to quiver."Your Excellency, do you still intend not to release him?" Morgan pointed toward Hugh beneath the man in black's foot."General Yule? Were you the first general under Gael Garten of the Emerald Hall?" The man in black eased his foot off Hugh and
