“Don’t be scared; you are safe here. A very powerful barrier is cast within the perimeter of this building, one that even the strongest sorcerer would find difficult to break.”The old lady explained before laughing softly. She had figured out that Fiona must have gotten scared—perhaps scared that they were under attack.After receiving the reassuring words from the old woman, Fiona began to calm down and finally relaxed.She adjusted herself on the sofa she was seated on before asking, “How can I get to Ryan?”The old woman understood how desperate she was, and she smiled warmly before replying. “For now, I will advise you to stay calm. When the time comes, you will see Ryan. But for now, the best you can do for him is avoid interruption.”That was the best truth the old woman could give Fiona. At this point, Ryan was trying his best to make sure he took down Muzan no matter what, and Fiona revealing herself at this moment would only distract him. Additionally, if Muzan found out she

Blood splattered. His eyes widened in disbelief, ashes gradually falling, and before him stood Aurora, breathing heavily.A bitter smile spread across her lips as she spoke. “That shield energy you absorbed was pure anti-magic, and it’s obvious that the source of your power comes from a magic stone.”The man couldn’t believe it, but the truth was right before his eyes—he was already dying. The shield energy hadn’t only destroyed the magic stone hanging around his neck, the very thing that had given him his strength, it had also caused his body to fail, because the essence of his life was fused with the stone itself.“You bastard… I will kill you…” he gritted his teeth as he spoke.Aurora stepped forward. “How will you kill me when you can’t even stand?”She pulled a blade out of thin air and slit the man’s four wrists. Staring into his face, she sneered. “I will never let anybody touch my master again. I made the mistake of letting her go out there alone, and I won’t make that mistake

Lucas listened to what Muzan said and nodded. Though he wasn’t in support of it, he knew that if this happened, even the land where his kind lived would be destroyed. Merging the three realms would shatter the barrier protecting the land of the shapeshifters. But Lucas had only one choice—the promise Muzan had made to him: bringing his wife back to life.As Muzan looked over the city burning in total flames, Lucas shifted his gaze to him and asked, “About my promise—how are we planning to achieve it?”Muzan chuckled. “Stay calm. We’re still in the process. Bringing the dead back to life costs a lot of magic. I can only do that when I merge the realms.”He then turned to Lucas and patted him on the shoulder. “This era I’m building will be a paradise, where we all thrive in joy and harmony—a place where even your wife will be glad to live again. A place where demons won’t be a threat to us humans, a place where demons will be our brothers and we will all watch each other’s backs.”Muzan

Summoning the mind demon would not only relieve him from the stone, it would also grant him unlimited dark power, coursing through every part of his jutsu.Muzan tore off his shirt, and when Jordan caught sight of the dark stone fused to his chest, he also noticed the crack.“So that’s it… the source of his power,” Jordan mumbled, stunned. He then turned his gaze to Lyfan, who lay on the ground, and continued, “She somehow discovered it before now… and she risked her life just to show us the clue.”Jordan now knew what he had to strike. This was not about facing Muzan head-on, but about attacking his weak point.At the moment Lyfan’s knife struck his chest and the crack appeared on the stone, Clara’s body had moved on the other side. If the stone was shattered, Clara would wake up.Just then, Julien could be seen approaching Jordan to face Muzan head-on. They would not allow him to merge the realm. Muzan had also realized his intention—merging the realm now would not only plunge their

Jordan tried to talk to Thomas, but Thomas appeared not to be listening. Though Jordan knew he was filled with rage and his emotions were already uttered.“I have to go with him… Muzan can hurt him…” Jordan mumbled, still feeling weak. The attack he had sustained from Muzan was draining him down, but then Julien appeared and touched Jordan on the shoulders, then spoke:“I have discovered something that might explain what Muzan was trying to do…”Jordan turned and saw it was his father. He was holding a book in his hand, and it was the forbidden book. Jordan’s face immediately went pale, and just then his father’s voice cut in:“I know what you are thinking, but this isn’t the right time to be surprised. There’s something I found in this book that explains entirely what Muzan is and his plans, and the good news is this book also explains how we can defeat him.”As Julien explained, Jordan stared confused. All he knew about that book was total chaos—how could it serve as something that
