Chapter 428 Veil of the Hunting Moon BOOM! The world seemed to tilt sideways. A violent explosion erupted beside the convoy, blasting dirt, shattered wood, and chunks of stone into the air. The carriage carrying Count Reysion spun violently before crashing onto its side with enough force to make the surrounding ground tremble. "Urgh!" The Count clenched his teeth as the impact slammed him against the interior wall. A translucent barrier flashed around him at the last second. The young knight assigned to protect him had reacted instantly. Dioki surged through the blade in his hand, forming a protective shield that absorbed most of the shock. The carriage groaned. Wood cracked. Metal bent. Dust poured through every openi

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC430: Space Breach — Silent Execution“Space Ability, Unlock.”Ryan spoke it like a verdict instead of a question, his voice steady but the air around him shifting in a way that made reality feel slightly misaligned, as if something invisible had just been inserted into his body without permission and was now trying to learn how to exist inside him.A strange pressure spread through his veins immediately, not painful but invasive, like cold threads of liquid Dioki crawling through pathways that had never been meant to carry it, and for a split second his expression tightened as his internal energy system tried to reconcile a power that did not belong to his original configuration.His eyes flicked down.Not panic.Calculation.He felt it clearly now, this new layer of spatial manipulation, something that did not behave like wind or fire or brute force Dioki, but instead behaved like ab

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastChapter 432: Shadows Beneath the CalmThe merchant hurried forward with an excited expression painted across his face. His hands trembled slightly as he approached the silver-haired warrior who had just saved both his business and his life."T... thank you so much. You must be Miss Alavenya..."The words died in his throat.Alavenya's gaze landed on him.Cold.Sharp.Uninviting.The merchant froze immediately.For a brief moment, he wondered whether he had accidentally offended her somehow. Perhaps he had spoken out of turn. Perhaps the daughter of the Dragon King simply disliked formalities.Before he could gather enough courage to continue speaking, Alavenya suddenly shifted her attention elsewhere.A familiar voice had appeared."Yo."Ryan approached leisurely with Sphinx walking beside him.The giant divine beast looked relaxed, almost lazy, as though the previous battle had been nothing more than a casual exercise.Ryan scratched his cheek.A sheep

Chapter 434: The Saint of Unwanted MatchesSeveral days passed in the blink of an eye.The conference hall prepared by the four kingdoms had already become one of the most heavily guarded locations on the continent. Layers of security surrounded the area. Summoners, soldiers, scouts, and countless hidden experts monitored every possible entrance.Yet inside the quiet corridors leading toward the meeting chamber, the atmosphere felt strangely casual.At least for two particular people.Sullivan casually walked beside Vivian while swinging his arms behind his head like a man on vacation rather than one of the strongest individuals in the world.The corridor they were currently using was not part of their usual routine.Because of Ryan's request and the growing concerns regarding the Divine Hand, Vivian had been forced to personally participate in the conference involving the leaders of the four kingdoms.As for Sullivan, he had arrived as one of the protectors accompanying the Azilia Ki

Summoned Celestial Divine BeastChapter 436: The Value Hidden Within Steel and DiokiThe atmosphere inside the conference hall changed the instant the doors opened.Several sovereigns, cardinals, military representatives, and influential figures had gathered for this meeting, yet all conversation abruptly died the moment a single man stepped through the entrance.Every gaze shifted.Every expression froze.Even those who had spent decades standing at the peak of power couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.Elysion Aquamoon had arrived.For years, invitations had been sent to him. Political gatherings, summits between nations, discussions concerning humanity's future, and countless ceremonies had all attempted to secure his presence.Every invitation had received the same response.Nothing.Sometimes silence was more intimidating than rejection.Yet today, the stro
