Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC159: The Return of Fire and Shadows---As Ryan had said before, he spent the next three days training alongside Charlotte in that endless inferno of a realm. The place itself was a crucible—searing winds howled across fields of molten glass, and rivers of fire pulsed like veins of the planet itself. Every breath stung. Every movement burned.But that was precisely why Ryan stayed.He wasn’t just learning to control Dioki—he was letting it temper him.---Sphinx, ever the restless creature, got bored quickly. The lion-headed Divine Beast had nothing to crush, nothing to tear apart, and no enemies to devour. After the first few hours, he let out a low growl and declared, “This is pointless! I’m not watching you play with spheres of light like a child.”Ryan just shrugged, beads of sweat dripping from his chin. “Then don’t. Go nap or something.”“Nap? In this furnace?

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC161: Stopped – The Dragon Princess’s WrathAfter leaving Vivian’s office, Ryan’s mind was already made up—there was one person he had to meet.Chaollete Ashley.He’d been putting it off long enough, and now that the academy politics had finally cooled down, it was time to face her properly. But before he could even make it to her dorm, someone blocked his path.And it wasn’t her brother.Standing in front of him like a wall of simmering fury was Alavenya, the Dragon King’s daughter.Ryan froze mid-step.It had been almost two weeks since that incident—two weeks since he’d outsmarted her and her father. He had known she’d come eventually, but he didn’t expect her to appear so soon, and definitely not here, inside Frexia Academy’s central plaza, wearing the academy uniform like a proper student.“What’s this?” Ryan raised a brow, his tone calm but teasing. “Trying to show off y

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC163: The Blood of Ascension---Chaollete Ashley leaned against the wooden frame of her dormitory door, her arms folded, gaze distant. Candlelight flickered across her face, casting twin shadows that danced upon the walls. Her expression was complicated — part worry, part curiosity, part… resignation.Through the faint glow of Frexia Academy’s twilight corridors, she could hear the faint murmurs from Ryan’s room. And although her rational mind told her not to listen, her heart betrayed her. She lingered.---Inside, Ryan sat on the edge of his bed. Across from him, Risa perched nervously, hands folded in her lap. Her crimson eyes glowed faintly under the dim lamplight, reflecting the pulse of Dioki that radiated from Ryan’s veins.Ryan exhaled slowly, his tone calm but deliberate. “I’ve been thinking…”Risa tilted her head, a hint of worry in her eyes.“I’m planning

Summoned Celestial Divine Beast Chapter 165: Shadows Beneath the Banner (Bonus) The horizon burned faintly with orange firelight as Ryan and Chaollete Ashley approached the sprawling lines of the northern military camp. From a distance, it resembled a dying beast — its tents torn and blackened by battle, its soldiers moving like ants over mud streaked with dried blood. Compared to Alavenya’s smaller detachment, this one was enormous, stretching nearly half a mile across the plains. Yet the atmosphere here was the same — pain, fatigue, and the suffocating stench of iron and sweat. Hundreds of injured soldiers lined the infirmary tents, their moans blending into the dull hum of the wind. Magical healers ran from cot to cot, their palms radiating weak Dioki light. The air shimmered with exhaustion. Ryan and Chaollete exchanged a glance. Even though both of them had experienced combat before, this sight hit differently. It was a rem

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC167: The March of an Elite KnightThe forest trembled with an eerie rhythm — the pounding of countless limbs against soil, bark, and stone. As David had warned them earlier, the alien beasts were coming. Their silhouettes emerged from the shrouded mist between trees: some stood on two legs, with eyes glowing like dying stars, others galloped on four, bearing scales that shimmered faintly with corrupted Dioki. Each creature was a different abomination, but all of them moved with a primal, terrifying unity — their charge like a river of chaos.Ryan adjusted his stance, his eyes narrowing as he felt the vibrations through his boots. The faint hum of Dioki pulsed through the air, resonating with his own internal flow. He grinned. “Well, guess they didn’t come to talk. Sphinx, Anubis — usual formation!”Sphinx’s massive form leapt forward with a thundering roar that made the nearest trees quake. Golden fur rippled under Diok
