Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel ran desperately. They constantly glanced back over their shoulders, terrified that the horrifying man might suddenly catch up to them.Only after they had run several miles and left the crater far behind did they finally slow their pace. They gasped for breath, and their faces still showed they hadn't recovered from the shock.Nathaniel leaned against a large tree, his complexion noticeably pale. "What… What kind of monster was that? How could anyone possess such terrifying power?" he blurted.Tristan shook his head. "I don't know… But I'm certain he's definitely not human. I'm afraid we've gotten ourselves into serious trouble this time."Matthias gripped his longsword tightly and said grimly, "Now isn't the time to discuss it. We must leave this place as quickly as possible and find a safe location. There's no telling if that monster might suddenly pursue us."The three brothers exchanged looks. Fear lingered in each of their eyes. They never sto

Time seemed to stop around the crater. The handsome man's eyes had suddenly snapped open inside the crystal coffin, and everyone stared in stunned silence. Those eyes held depths that no mortal gaze should possess. It was as if he had witnessed centuries of death and suffering. Just meeting that deadly stare sent hearts pounding and chilled everyone to the bone.Just when they thought nothing could be more terrifying, the man, Thymaleon, stirred slightly. To their surprise, he rose from the coffin. His body rose through the air as though gravity no longer bound him, and he hovered around six feet above the pit.His white robes billowed in the sunlight, outlining his tall, lean frame. A faint glow seemed to surround him, making him look like an immortal being. His contemptuous gaze swept over the panicked crowd below, like someone watching insects crawl beneath his feet.Tristan exchanged a quick look with his brothers. In Matthias and Nathaniel's faces, he saw his own shock and un

Tristan seemed somewhat hesitant upon hearing Milton's advice. After seeing something like that fall from the sky, it would be foolish to just walk away. Even if the crystal coffin looked unsettling, it was worth the risk.As he wavered, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the distance, accompanied by the sharp clatter of armor."Who's there?" he called out, spinning around. His hand pressed on the hilt of his sword as he looked warily toward the source of the noise.Milton and the soldiers immediately shifted into defensive positions, staring intently ahead. They could see a group of men advancing rapidly toward them, led by Matthias and Nathaniel. Behind them were several dozen elite soldiers, fully armed and with stern expressions."Matthias? Nathaniel?" Tristan was stunned when he saw them."What a coincidence to find you here, Tristan," Nathaniel said first, sounding surprised."We saw a golden light fall from the sky and followed it here," Matthias chimed in

The group slowly moved along the shoreline, pebbles crunching underfoot.Tristan led the way with one hand resting on his sword hilt, his eyes sharp as he scanned the surrounding vegetation. After their encounter with the carnivorous plants, everyone remained on high alert. They didn't dare make a sound, fearing they might disturb whatever dangers lurked on the island.Milton walked beside Tristan, carrying a branch to push aside the tangled vines. His weathered fingers brushed the vine surface as he watched for danger. "Your Highness, the vegetation is getting denser here, and something feels wrong. Besides the usual plant scents in the air, there's also an underlying chill," he said in a low voice."What do you think it means?" Tristan asked quietly."I can't say for sure," Milton replied, shaking his head. "But everything on this island seems unnatural. While ordinary islands like this often have rare treasures, they shouldn't be dangerous at every turn. "We should leave t

Black thunder rolled through the lead-gray clouds as the Stormrider pitched like a leaf in the wind, tossed violently by the raging seas. Water mixed with shards of ice flooded the deck, whipped by the gale and striking the soldiers' armor with sharp cracks.Though Tristan was holding onto the mast, his tailored coat soaked through with seawater, he still stood tall. When he looked ahead at the island's outline growing clearer through the storm, his frown suddenly relaxed, and his gaze sharpened with newfound hope."Your Highness, it's Elysium Isle. We've arrived," Milton exclaimed excitedly.Even this shrewd elderly steward couldn't hide his elation. After their long voyage through three sea monster attacks and two occasions when they'd lost their way, the expedition had finally found the legendary island when all hope seemed lost.Elite soldiers rushed to the deck, staring at the distant land bathed in golden light. At last, they broke into the cheers they had held back for so lo

"You give me too much credit, Matthias. If I had any leads, would I be here meeting you by chance?" Nathaniel said with a smile.Then, he changed the subject. "Though your men look tired, their eyes are still bright. You wouldn't happen to have stumbled onto something good, would you?"As he spoke, his gaze studied Matthias carefully, searching for any telltale signs.But Matthias's expression remained unreadable. "We fought through blizzards and harsh weather, nearly losing our lives. That's hardly what I'd call stumbling onto something good," he said evenly."Blizzards and harsh weather?" Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "While Elysium Isle does harbor certain dangers, I've seen nothing but pleasant spring weather here. How could there be any blizzards and harsh weather?""I'm not entirely clear on the details myself. Most likely, it was some kind of pocket dimension, like those described in the ancient manuscripts. If we hadn't stumbled upon an exit by sheer luck, I ne
