Chapter 146
Author: Marina Vittori
"Huh?!" James’ jaw dropped to the floor looking at the representatives from the Hummer family kneeling toward him.

Everyone’s eyes were as big as saucers as they stared in disbelief.

Who would’ve thought that the high and mighty Hummer family would ever kneel toward them in their lives?

Were these mega-bigshots ever this humble before? What was wrong with them today? Were they sick or something?

"What's happening? Didn't the Hummers come to retaliate? Why are they all kneeling?"

"What are the Hummers doing? This isn’t some kind of reverse psychology tactic, right?"

"Something’s fishy here. I think this is part of their plan!"

As the Nicholsons continued to stare at the Hummers who were kneeling in front of them, not only were they not the least bit happy about this, but this even frightened them tremendously.

Some of their legs even gave out as time passed. That was because the scene in front of them was too overwhelming for them to handle.

To think that a mega bigshot wou

    "Take your positions and protect the princess!"Rhydian gritted his teeth against the searing pain clawing at his mind and let out a raw, guttural roar. He and the two other guards summoned the last reserves of their internal energy to form a makeshift triangular defensive formation, shielding Grace, Judith, and the dying Cyprian behind them.But they all knew that before these four terrifying puppets, their defense was as flimsy as paper. Still, the fight could erupt at any moment.…Deep within Elysium Isle, the opulent palace remained untouched by the chaos outside. Wine and meat flowed freely, and the decadent music never stopped playing.Malthor's figure appeared silently on his enormous white recliner, as if he had never left at all.Lysander stopped playing his lap harp and asked with a smile, "Malthor, you're back?" Talmor and Valindra also turned their gazes toward him.Malthor ignored them. He merely reclined lazily, casually accepting the wine offered by a woman a

    After passing through the dead zone, a breathtaking sight unfolded before them. At the end of the path lay an enormous circular platform constructed from white stone.The platform floated above the waters of the Vitalis Pool. It was surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, with spiritual energy condensing in the air like rain. At its center was a spring no more than ten feet wide. What flowed from this spring was not ordinary lake water, but concentrated spiritual liquid so rich it couldn't dissolve and shimmered with seven-colored radiance. It turned out this was the source of the pure vitality and spiritual energy.The moment they crossed through the Chaos Realm and stepped onto the platform, the pure spiritual energy brought no relief. Instead, a pressure heavier and more terrifying than Thymaleon's, or the chaotic laws themselves, pressed down on them like a mountain.At the center of the platform, the spring still shimmered with seven-colored spiritual liquid. Above it, the se

    The area felt like a dead zone where the laws of reality itself had broken down. It was a place where even the natural order turned hostile.Cyprian, already weak and missing an arm, could no longer hold on. When the gravity suddenly doubled, his already weakened body could no longer maintain balance. Combined with the horrifying illusions constantly flashing through his mind, his foot slipped. He cried out as he fell toward the lake filled with spatial rifts."Cyprian!" Judith shouted, lunging to grab him, but a chaotic gust of warped air threw her back.Just as he was about to plunge into certain death, a figure in blue appeared beside him like a ghost.Dustin grabbed the back of Cyprian's collar with one hand. With the other, he formed a sword finger and traced several swift motions toward a seemingly calm area ahead that actually concealed densely packed spatial rifts.A low hum resonated as a strange ripple of energy spread outward. The twisted space seemed to flatten as if

    "Let's move. We shouldn't linger here," Dustin said. He took the lead, stepping onto the slippery and dilapidated path with steady strides.However, Grace could sense that the energy waves surrounding him had become even more restrained than before. It was as if he were accumulating strength to face whatever unknown challenges lay ahead.The group followed in silence, the atmosphere thick and suffocating. Rhydian and the other two guards gripped their weapons tightly. Their eyes scanned the churning crimson lake, alert for anything that might surge from the depths.Judith supported Cyprian, whose condition was worsening by the minute. The corrosive effects of the dragon blood malevolent energy were causing his remaining vital energy to drain away. His eyes were beginning to lose focus.As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change in disturbing ways. The once clearly demarcated boundary between the deep blue lake waters and the corrupted crimson zone started to

    "You guys go first. Follow the stone path and don't stop," Dustin commanded in a low voice.Realizing that defense was no longer an option, he withdrew the disk of light and charged forward instead of retreating. His body shot ahead like a flash of cyan light toward the storm of light beams.His longsword sang as it left the sheath, a sharp, resonant note that cut through the roar. With a flick of his wrist, a torrent of sword light burst forth, forming a rippling cyan barrier in front of him.The beams struck the barrier in a deafening rhythm of metal and thunder, each impact exploding in blinding flashes.Most of the attacks shattered against the barrier, but a few slipped through. They slammed into the lake behind him, sending up columns of crimson water and cracking a section of the stone path underfoot.Rhydian and the others watched with their hearts in their throats, but none dared slow down. Bracing himself against the trembling ground, he shielded Grace, Judith, and Cypri

    The crimson lake, which had been stirring faintly, suddenly began to churn violently as if some colossal creature were awakening beneath the surface.In the next moment, monstrous tentacles, each as thick as a water barrel, emerged from the lake. They were formed from viscous blood and foul malevolent energy.With a sickening screech and a gale of coppery stench, the tendrils lashed out like a nest of giant serpents. They whipped and coiled from all directions, aiming to crush and entangle the group on the narrow path."Watch out!" Rhydian roared. He swung his blade at the crimson tentacle lunging for Grace. The blade collided with the tentacle, producing the sound of metal clashing against metal as sparks flew. The tentacle was incredibly resilient and contained powerful corrosive energy. The impact numbed his arm, and his blade was instantly covered with a layer of crimson filth, dimming its spiritual light.The two other guards also swung their blades to defend, but their at
