Kael’s voice cut through the stagnant air of the dungeon, firm yet laced with exasperation, “Shingen, can you please take out those wolves a bit further away from me?”He stood drenched in gore, the scent of iron clinging to his hair and clothes, a dead wolf at his feet, its head cleanly severed. His irritation stemmed not from the sheer bloodshed or the danger itself, but from Shingen’s methodical habit of waiting until the wolves were almost upon him be

C151: Sealed Table
C151: Sealed Table“So, you think calling her old lives up to your reputation as a Saint?”The accusation hung in the air like a blade that had already decided where it wanted to land.“You seem to be forgetting that I am only fourteen in this body,” Kael replied, his smile widening just enough to be insulting without becoming crude, his eyes steady as they moved from the woman in black to the rest of the figures seated around the circular table. His tone carried that polished Saintly warmth, the kind that could calm riots and bless infants, yet beneath it pulsed something sharper, something calculating.The woman remained perfectly still, frozen not by fear but by restraint, as if violence were a reflex she had trained herself not to indulge in public. Her aura, however, betrayed her. Mana coiled around her in thin, venomous strands, a distortion that tasted wrong to Kael’s senses, metallic and sour, like incense burned over a grave. Every thread
Chapter 150: Polite Insult
Chapter 150: Polite Insult“So, all I have to do is lure out the traitors, then?” Kael asked, not because he lacked clarity, but because clarity was a weapon, and repeating the objective forced it into the open where it could not pretend to be anything softer than what it was. If the mission truly was that simple, then in spirit he had already completed it, because suspicion had names now, and names were the beginning of endings.“It is,” Maren replied, her voice steady, composed, and annoyingly calm for someone orchestrating what amounted to a political exorcism inside a holy monument. “There are a few individuals I suspect, but certainty is a luxury I do not possess. That is why I need you to enter and make them reveal themselves by their own will. You can do that, can you not?”There it was again, that confidence in him, thick and suffocating and wrapped in the velvet ribbon of faith. The System hummed faintly in the back of his consciousness, attentive

Chapter 149: Golden GluttonyHealing SystemC149 Scheme[Kael's POV]"Rowan really did not disappoint, did he?" Kael asked The System with a smirk that carried both triumph and the faintest hint of disbelief, as though even now he expected the universe to lean in and confess that thirteen million was a clerical error.He lifted another lamb chop to his mouth, the meat lacquered in edible gold leaf that shimmered under the chandelier light, veins of mana threaded through it like living circuitry. The moment his teeth sank in, heat spread across his tongue. The mana did not burn. It hummed. It vibrated against his palate, a low arcane resonance that made his own internal reserves stir in appreciation.Honestly, I expected a generous commission. I did not expect thirteen million for something that barely required you to flex. Rowan is going to squeeze ten times that from the government. Possibly more. Bureaucrats panic easily."
Chapter 148: Essence And Idiots
Chapter 148: Essence And IdiotsAmanda's POV“He finally left. He sure is an idiot, huh?” Amanda let out a low chuckle, the sound threaded with relief and calculation, and finally stopped arguing with Elira.The argument had been theater, carefully choreographed inside their shared awareness long before Amanda had even stepped onto the rooftop. Every raised voice, every sharpened glance, every brittle line of accusation had been a signal disguised as conflict. The only purpose had been to push Kael away, to make him storm off with wounded pride and misplaced certainty so that he would not linger long enough to overhear what he was never meant to hear.There were several reasons for removing him from the board, but the most critical one pulsed like a red rune at the center of Amanda’s thoughts. If he stayed, she would not be able to extract the fragments of information that Elira carried like contraband beneath her calm exterior.It was fo
Chapter 147: Golden Goose
Chapter 147: Golden Goose"Excuse me?" Elira’s voice carried disbelief sharp enough to scrape stone, yet she swallowed the rest of her outrage when she met Maren’s stare, a stare that had been radiating hostility from the very second she stepped into view, a glare so cold and deliberate that even the air between them felt tightened by it."You heard me, cultist. I am offering you a choice only because you share blood with Kael. If that connection did not exist, you would already be a corpse cooling at my feet."Kael watched the verbal collision unfold with the weary patience of someone who had already survived a battlefield that morning. He rubbed at his temple, feeling phantom pressure returning like a debt collector who had memorized his address.Maren is being a little excessive, I would say, The System remarked inside his consciousness, its tone bright with mischief that did not match the tension outside.Their argument looped in circles, accusation folding into rebuttal, rebuttal
Chapter 146: Before the Tournament
Chapter 146: Before the Tournament The air above Verdusk trembled like a guilty secret refusing to stay buried. ‘System, did you hear that nonsense?’ Kael asked, though the question was less inquiry and more accusation hurled at the invisible architect who insisted on loving him with the subtlety of a collapsing star. He stood in the fractured underbelly of the Evangelists’ hidden compound, mana humming beneath his skin like a second pulse. In another lifetime, in another spiral of reality where causality behaved and memories obeyed chronology, he had glimpsed Adam. Not met him. Not spoken to him. Simply seen him, like one glimpses a mountain peak between storms and understands instinctively that climbing it would require sacrificing several limbs and perhaps a few philosophies. Back then Kael had been drunk on a sudden power surge, his perception warped by his own ascension, unable to gauge Adam’s true strength. Now, eons later, logic whispered something unpleasant: if Adam had be
