Chapter 190: Ryan's InsightThe battlefield lay in uneasy silence, the acrid smell of scorched earth mingling with the lingering aura of Dioki that still hummed in the air like an unseen current, tangling itself around everything and everyone nearby. Ryan stood at the edge of the chaos, his chest rising and falling steadily despite the intensity of the fight that had just concluded. The mutant that had threatened to disrupt their plans now lay motionless, and in the tense aftermath, one figure moved with remarkable speed, her eyes blazing with a mixture of relief and admiration. Chaollete Ashley, as if propelled by an invisible tether, rushed toward Ryan with unwavering determination, her boots kicking up dust as she approached.“Ryan!” she called, her voice carrying over the scattered groans of the battlefield and the crackle of residual Dioki energy. Her tone was urgent, almost desperate, yet threaded with the excitement that only came after surviving a dea

Chapter 192: The Gathering Shadows of the Next Event For the following two days, Ryan and Chaollete were plunged into relentless hunts, scouring every stretch of land and every shadowed hollow in search of alien prey. Their mission was no idle chase; the assault on the two camps had revealed the chilling reality that these creatures were not merely roaming predators—they were orchestrators of chaos, lurking unseen before striking with brutal precision. Each step carried tension, each breath a silent warning, and the air itself seemed to hum with Dioki, the mysterious and arcane energy that flowed like liquid fire beneath the world, whispering secrets only those attuned could perceive. The investigation had led them to a cavern hidden beneath the jagged cliffs, a place that smelled of damp earth, decay, and something far more sinister, something almost alive in its malevolence. Scattered across its entrance and within the hollowed depths lay corpses, their forms twisted, bodies hollow

Chapter 194Where the Sea Devours the Weak and Names the StrongRyan sat on the edge of the bench with his elbows resting on his knees, his fingers interlocked so tightly that the knuckles had turned pale, while his gaze remained fixed on the floor as though the wooden planks themselves might suddenly whisper a solution to the problem coiling in his mind. His posture was rigid, not relaxed in the slightest, and the silence around him felt heavy enough to press against the chest, the kind of quiet that only appeared when everyone present understood that something ugly and unavoidable was approaching.Chaollete Ashley stood nearby, her arms crossed loosely, yet her shoulders betrayed her tension, because even without speaking she was clearly running through possibilities at a frantic pace, discarding each one almost as quickly as it formed. Neither of them said a word, not because they had nothing to say, but because whatever came next would define how badly thin

Summoned Celestial Divine Beast – Chapter 196: Island of Trials (Bonus Event)The seven days leading up to the third event stretched like an endless storm across the halls of Frexia Academy, each moment thick with preparation, tension, and a frantic pulse of anticipation. Ryan, ever the strategist, wove intricate webs of political influence, carefully suppressing the ambitions of Chaollete Ashley and keeping Tina Perez in check. He maneuvered with the subtlety of a predator, understanding that domination in this contest required more than brute strength; it required manipulation, misdirection, and patience honed to a razor's edge. Tina, for her part, remained absorbed in rigorous training alongside her familiars, each day a relentless drill that tested the limits of bond and obedience. Other students scattered across the academy grounds engaged in exercises tailored to their unique abilities, each clinging desperately to their own path to power, unaware that true victo

Chapter 198: The Infernal Dragon’s Gambit“Brace yourselves!” Dan’s sharp command cut through the humid air, his hand slicing through the atmosphere as he signaled the teacher to activate the teleportation magic. The tension in the courtyard was palpable; every student felt it ripple through their veins, an electric prelude to the unknown trials that awaited them on the distant, perilous island.The teacher, a nimble and precise figure named Dikkleus, stepped forward, his presence immediately commanding the attention of the gathered students. With a graceful flick of his wrist, he summoned a high-ranking fairy from the latent currents of Dioki swirling invisibly around the campus. Unlike the resplendent and grandiose fairy queens of legend, this one was modest in size, barely half the stature of a human. Her wings were translucent and green, almost imperceptible against the forested backdrop, yet when she moved, they shimmered with a faint iridescent light, as
