Chapter 140: Ryan’s Gambit The sky tore open with a roar as Nidhogg, scales gleaming with a violent iridescence, surged upward. Each beat of his massive wings sent tremors through the ground below. From his jagged maw, a stream of violet fire erupted, a strange, chaotic blaze that shimmered and twisted as it cut through the air. Unlike ordinary flames, this was no mere heat or light—it carried the wild essence of Dioki itself, a living, almost sentient energy that crackled with anticipation and threat. Below, the giant swung his enormous club, the sheer force creating gusts that twisted and repelled Nidhogg’s chaotic breath. Yet the dragon’s inferno did not falter. It shivered and expanded, flaring in every direction, as if the flames had their own mind. The purple fire lunged forward like a storm of wrath, scattering sparks into the night. The first to react was an orc, his instincts sharp and honed from years of battle. With a broad swi

C142: The Roar Beneath Silver WingsA few breaths earlier, chaos reigned outside the broken tavern walls."O’ Miracle of the World, Divine Being of Summoning! Please use my body as the beacon and grant your passage to the beloved being. By my name, Serafina Dialanta, heed my call and come forth to this world, the great being of another realm!"Sera’s voice rang with desperation, trembling with both exhaustion and resolve. Her hands danced across the magic circle carved into the floorboards, lines of pure Dioki burning like molten silver. The circle flared — bright enough to swallow shadows whole.Every sacred item laid in place — fragments of divine crystal, feathers of purity, the blood of an oath — trembled, merging together as if obeying a silent hymn.Anubis stood guard beside her, his jackal eyes narrowing as the chamber filled with light. “It’s working,” he muttered. “Ryan… your crazy plan might actually work.”The ite

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC144: Ryan’s Hidden Gambit---Boom!The ground split apart as the giant’s back slammed into it, a deep tremor running through the valley. The creature let out a wail, half fury and half humiliation, as dust plumed up around its hulking form. It hadn’t managed to land even a single blow on Sphinx’s ally, the mighty Nidhogg, who hovered above like a black dragon born from storm and nightmare.The giant roared again, shaking off the shock as it scrambled to its feet, its movements slow but determined. Its pride wouldn’t allow it to stay down any longer.But across the battlefield, the tide was no better for others.Sparks and Dioki ripples flashed everywhere like miniature stars collapsing.Sphinx and the orc general were locked in a brutal melee. The orc’s left arm had been completely severed, his blood dripping like molten iron. Yet Sphinx’s magnificent fur was drenched in sweat a

Chapter 146: The Flame of Judgment — Divine Beasts in DiscordAshes still drifted in the scarlet evening sky like snow from another world. The battlefield, once echoing with steel and roars, had fallen eerily silent. The stench of smoke, burnt blood, and Dioki residue painted the ruined village in shades of ruin and victory.Sphinx stood tall over the fading remains of the orc’s massive corpse, his crimson mane flickering faintly from the heat of the flames. The creature’s charred flesh shimmered, breaking apart into particles of light before dissolving into the wind. His golden eyes glowed faintly, reflecting the dying embers.He let out a deep, rumbling growl. “Hmph. Another fool gone to dust.”Not far away, the fallen angel and the valkyrie—two beings who looked like they should never have shared the same sky—stood with their weapons drawn, their recent opponents already disintegrating into motes of Dioki. The battlefield was all but cleaned of

C148: The Unluckiest Hero Alive (Bonus)“...And that’s the last one.”Sera exhaled deeply, wiping the sweat from her temple as she pulled the final shimmering band of light tight. Thirty-two captured bandits lay sprawled across the sand, bound in glowing Dioki chains that pulsed faintly with divine energy. Their muffled groans mixed with the desert wind, echoing faintly through the ruins.Ryan stood nearby, arms crossed, watching with a half-smirk. “Nice work. You really don’t hold back, huh?”His voice carried a teasing edge, but beneath it, there was genuine admiration.Sera straightened, brushing off her knees. “I’m done here.” Her soft, melodic tone carried the exhaustion of someone who had spent hours controlling fine Dioki threads with precision.Ryan whistled low. “Over thirty of them, huh? Not bad for a ‘gentle’ priestess. You sure you’re not secretly part of the Inquisition?”“I heard that,” Sera replied, b
