Drenvar smiled for the first time.Although he was the Dragon Lord and the Grand Duke, everyone knew that it meant not as much as it should mean, not even close.The Drakemont were weak.And that caused Drenvar to be cautious. So much so that he had never actually gone all out with anyone! That was why he was smiling when he saw the Elder use his highest level technique!Drenvar also used his own. The sword in his hand burst into fire but instead of the normal flame, what covered the sword was a red fire.The same fire caught on his skin, turning his body into molten redness in a blink. The red fire burned with such intensity that the very air surrounding him seemed to burn off as he created a space of absolute heat around himself.A halo of red bands appeared above his head and when it sprang to life the heat that followed was abysmal. The clouds above his head were burned away as if a fire god had looked at the spot, and the ground underneath him was now covered in the ashes of the

The Law and Authorities of the Sovereign Ascended are two different things of the same origin.Duke Jarred's eyes widened when he heard him say that. "You... Drenvar... you have someone backing you secretly! There is no way you should be able to... not when you are not a full Sovereign Ascended!"This new development did not just shock Duke Jarred and the two remaining Elders.It shocked all the other people secretly following the tide of the war. When they realized that Drenvar was already a half Sovereign Ascended with an Authority, they were all deeply shocked because it was not something they expected.Those who had bet on the outcome of the war began to have different thoughts on how it would end.But now... he has a Law as well?Authority and Law are different things of the same essence. At the same time, one is significantly rarer than the other. Authority comes with reaching Sovereign Ascended, and if you are on the right path, you can surely gain one.But Law?They are entire

Drenvar raised his hand and used some of his remaining strength to power his voice so it shook like the loud cry of thunder. "High Commander Rhydian Drakemont, I charge you, destroy the Red Leaves!"When Drenvar said he could destroy the Red Leaves with the full might of the Drakemont, there were no lies told.The High Commander and his men used the underground tunnel under the wilderness to cross it while giving the impression that he was still in Standpoint fortress.When the observers saw what was happening, they realized that the battle was already won.Rhydian turned to the battlefield below. He raised his hand to the Dragon construct.The construct opened its mouth and a formation that spanned three hundred and twenty meters appeared in front of it. The formation pulsed with powerful shockwaves and only grew more intense with each beat.From the formation, war constructs with Dragon heads began to drop down, their massive leathery wings unfolding behind them as they immediately

It was night, and the sky held thousands of silver stars and a moon that cast its eyes on the lands below.The lands also had their own stars. They were made of bright balls of red light that hung at intervals around the hundreds of tents that occupied the front of a castle.The castle itself was old, but it was strong and durable, more like a fortress.But there was something strange about the castle. Blood had been used to paint red leaves on the walls, and ropes that ended around human throats dangled from it like some kind of fruits.Behind the castle spread a city that was three times the size of Blanktar, and inside the city, armies of two different colours were keeping things in check.But deep inside the castle, two men of power were holding a meeting. "I never thought such a day would happen," Duke Lavi Ossuary of the Lnveil said. He was a thin, frail man with a mousy face, but his beady eyes were filled with intelligence.He might look like a starving mouse, but he ruled the

Quinn listened to all of it and made up his mind. He knew exactly what the Jellyfish wanted and that made things easier for him. He thought about it even more carefully.Quinn is a person that is always hungry for power. And the Black Accord could provide it.But he was always someone who was petty when people tried to hurt him, and the Black Accord did that as well.So he nodded. "I will think about it."The Jellyfish chuckled. "I know quite a lot of people that would run mad if given the same opportunity. But here you are, trying to think about it."There's no problem. Just don't forget that the offer won't remain standing forever, Quinn Drakemont.""Is this offer from you or the Black Accord?" Quinn asked."It is from me. I am a Numbered Accord. I can accept who I want to the Accord. Oh... by the way, tomorrow might be more difficult than you anticipated. There's a Numbered Accord pulling strings on the other side."With that, the Jellyfish disappeared.Quinn felt himself relax whe
