Chapter 51: The One-Year Pact
The Seventh-Tier Draven Family.Sure, they were only a seventh-tier clan—but nobody dared to underestimate them. It wasn’t because the family was particularly powerful. No, it was because behind them stood someone who was quickly becoming a legend in his own right—Kael Draven.Word had already spread through Thundercloud City like wildfire: Kael Draven had shown up there.Still, very few people actually knew where he was hiding. But one person did—Serenya Valen. And she, for whatever reason, had decided to pass that little secret straight to Edwin Valmar of the Cloudveil Sect.Outside the city, the air was thick. The kind of stillness that comes right before a storm.“Malcolm Draven, Sebastian Vance—are the Draven Family and the Starcloud Royal Family really planning to protect this boy?” Edwin Valmar’s voice was sharp, but his face was even sharper, dark with barely contained fury.He’d expected this to be simple. Track down his target, strike, and be done with it.But things had gon
Chapter 52: The Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion
A pact. One year.Edwin Valmar walked away with a steady step, eyes filled with unshakable certainty. In exactly one year, he swore, Kael Draven would lie defeated — and dead.Kael Draven’s potential was unlike anything Edwin Valmar had faced before. The kid’s talent was frightening, unmatched. But could he really break through the Evolution Realm in a year? Could he possibly reach Edwin Valmar’s level in such a short time?Edwin Valmar wouldn’t believe it for a second.Malcolm Draven and Sebastian Vance exchanged glances as they watched him leave. Something about the pact unsettled them. Everything had been arranged — so why bind oneself to a challenge so bold, so one-sided?Did Kael Draven truly believe he could pull this off?Even these seasoned warriors found it hard to swallow. Sebastian Vance exhaled slowly. “Brother Draven… why make life harder than it needs to be?”Kael Draven bowed slightly. “Thanks to Your Highness, Crown Prince Sebastian, and Senior Malcolm Draven for your
Chapter 53: The One-Armed Blade King
The Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion. A creature of legend. An innate-level spiritual beast whose beast pill could be refined into the fabled Rejuvenation Pill.The Rejuvenation Pill wasn’t just some rare treasure. No. It was said a single pill could heal a warrior instantly — injuries closing as if time itself had turned back. Every martial artist in the world would kill for it. Or die trying.But even to stand a chance, one had to do the impossible: kill the Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion. A feat only a fool, or a Damien, would attempt. The beast commanded the power of thunder itself, striking with such ferocity that even seasoned warriors trembled.“I want to ask… where can one find the Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion?”The voice was young. Inexperienced. Naïve. Laughter broke out immediately — sharp, loud, mocking. A man stepped forward with a sneer. “You planning to enter Starcloud Forest to hunt it?”“Starcloud Forest?”The boy said nothing. He turned away quietly. The laughter
Chapter 54: Concentrated Attack
On the Hundred Battles Ranking, even a single step up or down could mean a huge gap in strength.Kael Draven was confident he could take down Damien Draven. But the One-Armed Blade King? That was another story. The difference between seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth place wasn’t just a number—it was a dangerous chasm in skill. Enough to keep anyone wary.And then there it was. The Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion. Crimson fur, wings the color of deep amethyst, muscles rippling under a body over two meters long. It radiated raw, untamed power. And yet, facing such a beast, the One-Armed Blade King didn’t flinch. Every swing of his massive blade hit with precision, relentless, unstoppable.Kael Draven’s eyes narrowed. He could feel the momentum radiating from the Blade King’s strikes. This wasn’t just a skill—it was an obsession. A battle maniac’s aura that could crush any first-tier Eryndor warrior.Momentum. The kind of force that evolved warriors alone could wield.Well… mostly. Now
Chapter 55: Sacrifices
Kael Ardon didn’t answer right away.After a moment, he lifted his head and asked, “What if you could refine the Recollection Pill… would you give me half?”It was a bold, almost audacious request. Refining a Recollection Pill wasn’t a simple task, and asking for half of it? That was downright daring.Most alchemists would have thrown a fit, stomped off, and slammed doors. But Kael Draven just smiled. No anger, no hesitation. “No problem.”Kael Ardon blinked. Shocked. He hadn’t expected such a quick, easy agreement. He knew what the Recollection Pill meant—what it represented in power.Despite his arrogance, Kael Ardon was still a true warrior. He nodded and said, “Then the Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion’s body and beast pill are yours. And your friend… I entrust him to you as well.”He extended only his right hand, sincerity etched across his face. Kael Draven didn’t hesitate. He stretched out his left. Their hands clasped firmly.Then, the wind rose violently. Lightning streaked ac
Chapter 56: Punishing the Demon
Something inside Kael Draven shifted again—small, quiet, but irreversible.This world chewed people up and spat them out. Backstabbing and schemes were as common as cobblestones. Sure, raw power mattered. But being able to bend, adapt, and survive mattered just as much. That thought carved a new, colder edge into him. He felt it settle—ruthless and steady—behind his calm eyes.Kael Ardon watched him with a slow, almost approving smile. “I heard about what you did,” he said flatly. “You’re unusual. Tell me—ten years ago, why couldn’t your inner energy run on its own?”Kael Draven shrugged. “I don’t know.”Kael Ardon considered him for a beat. “Weird. Still, I respect the sticking-to-it. Not everyone would have kept going.”Kael Draven only smiled and said nothing more.Starcloud City lay under a bruised sky. Five great powers balanced the city on a precarious scale: the Starcloud royal family, the Fifth-Rank Draven clan, the Sterling clan, the Hawthorne clan, and the Duskbane clan. Out
Chapter 57: Justifiable Defense
Kael Draven had made his choice. Seeing it, Aria Stormveil let out a long, soft sigh. She didn’t say a word after that.During their time together, she had peppered him with questions about the Cloudveil Sect—but she got no real answers. Kael Draven didn’t need to explain. A man’s duty, in his mind, was simple: face every obstacle, endure every trial, and never let the woman he loved come to harm.After finishing their meal, he personally escorted her out of Starcloud City.He watched her figure shrink in the distance, a reluctant tug at his heart. Still, he knew the truth: having punished the Sterling clan’s perversion, the family wouldn’t let it slide. If Aria stayed, she would be drawn into the Sterling clan’s wrath alongside him.To love her meant keeping her safe—at any cost.“You’ve angered the Sterling clan,” he said, his voice low but firm. “If you stay here, you won’t be able to take a single step without danger.”“Anyone who provokes me will die,” he added, a sharp edge cutt
Chapter 58: Dragon Warrior
Kael Draven understood Sebastian Vance perfectly.In ten days, it would all come down to life or death.Because of that looming duel, he didn’t leave Starcloud City. Instead, he found a modest inn and settled in, keeping a low profile. Somewhere quiet, somewhere he could focus.“Master, the Purple-Winged Blood Golden Lion has been fully refined. Soon, I’ll slowly transfer its power into your body,” his companion said.Kael Draven nodded, a faint smile tugging at his lips. With Eldric and the blood pool inside the Dragon Seal Space, the essence of any spirit beast could be transformed into pure, untarnished power.This power would strengthen him steadily. But he knew the risk. Absorb it all at once, and even a single misstep could blow him apart.He didn’t dwell on cultivation for now. Breaking through to a higher level in such a short time? Nearly impossible.Instead, he focused on alchemy. With the beast pill in hand and all the ingredients for a Rejuvenation Pill ready, he rented th
Chapter 59: The Condition
Only families at Level Three or above in the Draven clan can enter Dragon Valley and find a partner.The Fifth-Rank Draven family? They didn’t even qualify.Kael Draven felt a flicker of surprise. Alaric Draven had actually discovered a way in. That was either incredible luck… or serious cunning.He understood exactly what Alaric Draven was thinking. Dragon Valley was a temptation almost no one could resist. If one disciple became a Dragon Warrior, their power would skyrocket—and the family’s rank could rise along with them.Opportunity and risk went hand in hand. One misstep, and a person could be swallowed by an abyss from which there was no return.“Kael Draven,” Alaric Draven said, voice calm but sharp, “long ago, because of a certain chance, the ancestors of our Draven clan made a pact with the forebears of Dragon Valley. Only those with Draven blood can enter safely. Anyone else… would be in grave danger.”Kael Draven nodded. That made sense.“Senior, may I ask… how many Dragon
Chapter 60: One Strike to Match Ten Thousand
“Kael Draven, don’t think I’m bullying you. If you have a spirit beast, now’s the time to summon it.”Shameless. Cowardly. The moment Vaughn Sterling spoke, the crowd’s disdain was palpable. Everyone knew he had a spirit beast companion. In the Innate Realm, he was nearly untouchable.But that was reality.“Too much talking,” Kael Draven replied, cool and steady, his gaze unwavering.“Kael Draven, your arrogance will be your downfall. Ten moves—that’s all it’ll take for me to show you how far behind you really are.”Before Vaughn Sterling could finish, Kael Draven moved. In a single arrow-like step, he lunged forward. The Profound Heaven Finger shot out of his hand, slicing through the air like a streak of lightning before his body even arrived.Vaughn Sterling didn’t flinch. Barehanded, he moved in perfect sync with the Wind Demon Wolf. The wolf was a blur, moving so fast the eye could barely catch it, leaving only afterimages as it circled Kael Draven from behind. Together, they stru
