Two nights after the meeting at Lunaris sect...

Kingdom of ironclad - The hall of War

The grand war hall of Ironclad was dimly lit, yet the flickering torches lining the walls illuminated the vast chamber enough to cast long shadows upon the heavy iron pillars.

The scent of burning incense mixed with the faint aroma of steel and aged parchment, the very essence of the war-driven kingdom.

The room itself was built like a fortress—walls lined with battle banners of past conquests,

a floor adorned with a massive carved map of Aetheria, and at the head of the chamber, seated upon a throne of dark iron, was King Ironclad himself.

Dressed in thick ceremonial robes lined with gold, the king radiated an aura of absolute authority.

His hair, white as snow, flowed past his shoulders, but his sharp, hawk-like eyes betrayed neither weariness nor age.

Even seated, his posture exuded the might of a warrior who had seen countless battles, his presence alone enough to silence a room of commanders an

    Few hours later.Kingdom of DuskreedBrivana Royal Region — Royal City of OmaraThe night skies above Omara were ignited with countless stars, a vast silver tapestry stretched across the heavens, unmarred by the presence of the moon.Its absence made the starlight sharper, colder, as if each point of light were a watching eye.A night breeze whispered through the grand avenues of the city, carrying with it a faint chill that brushed against skin like a warning rather than comfort.Omara was immense—an imperial city worthy of ruling a kingdom.From its outer districts to the royal heart, the city burned with light.Lanterns lined every road and bridge, their warm golden glow reflecting off polished stone streets and towering white walls etched with sigils.High-grade mana lamps hovered at intervals above major crossings, humming softly, their cores fed by refined mana stones.The air itself felt dense, saturated with wealth and power, as though massive layers of gold, spirit crystals,

    Just before the technique takes hold—In a blinding burst of speed that most within the noble gallery failed to even register, Barrett Woods moved.There was no warning aura flare, no pressure surge, no distortion of air to announce his intent.One moment he was seated—composed, dignified, seemingly relaxed—and the next, space itself appeared to fold.In an instant, Barrett stood before Oasis.Two fingers snapped forward.They struck the side of Oasis’s neck with terrifying precision,landing on a point so exact that even seasoned Enlightened cultivators would hesitate to target it casually—a spiritual circulation node,a hidden convergence where refined mana flowed upward toward the conscious realm pathways to ignite the spiritual techniques.The impact was gentle.Yet devastating.The moment his fingers connected, Oasis felt it immediately.His spiritual circulation halted.Not shattered.Not disrupted.Sealed.!!!The reaction was instantaneous.Before sound could even catch up to

    Grand Sanctuary of GreatnessTwilightOasis had not left the noble gallery.While the entertainment below continued and the crowd roared in waves that rose and fell like a living tide,he remained seated among the nobles, his presence calm, almost casual, as though he were merely an observer rather than one of the finalists awaiting the climax of the tournament.From here, the entire arena could be seen—an ocean of seats descending toward the vast battlefield below, where performers displayed their arts.Oasis sat with his retainers nearby, their postures disciplined yet relaxed, eyes alert but not tense.Beside him, Delvan leaned close, speaking animatedly, his voice low but continuous.“…and then did you see how he tried to pivot? That stance was completely off,” Delvan whispered, barely containing his excitement.“Brother, if he shifted his weight just a fraction earlier—”Oasis nodded occasionally, offering brief responses, sometimes a faint smile, sometimes a single word.Delvan,

    LunarisLunalith CityBluemoon Estate — Lunaris Sect, Lunalith BranchSect Leader’s Working ChambersThe Sect Leader’s working chambers were quiet, wrapped in a serenity that only places of true authority possessed.Pale sunlight filtered through tall lattice windows carved with Lunaris sigils, casting golden patterns across the polished stone floor.Incense burned softly in a bronze brazier shaped like a coiled wolf, its faint aroma blending with the earthy scent of aged wood and parchment.At the center of the chamber, a low obsidian table rested upon woven moon-silk mats.Cushions embroidered with crescent motifs surrounded it.Sect Master Conri Bluemoon sat calmly upon one of the cushions, his posture relaxed yet dignified.His beastly tousled hair was tied loosely behind him, a few strands falling freely as steam curled upward from the teacup in his hand.Across from him sat Elder Tyron, vice sect master of Lunaris, his presence steady and contemplative as he lifted his own cup.

    “And also—” Zenon continued, his voice calm but carrying an unmistakable weight, “what of those who were lingering behind the mountains?You said you had already dealt with them. Have you truly dealt with it, City Lord Welvard?”The hall fell quiet.Welvard straightened slightly, his expression firm.“Those ones were given until noon to vacate my territory,” he replied. “They had already left well before noon arrived.”Zenon nodded once, approving.“Good. It’s better to account for any variables that might hinder our plans. We don’t need inconveniences—especially unnecessary ones.”His gaze shifted subtly. “And who was handling the interrogation of the one I captured?”“Oh, that would be me,” Joy answered without hesitation.“Good.” Zenon’s eyes sharpened. “From what I understand, these enemies came from his region.Did he state whether there were more still stationed there?”“No,” Joy replied. “All who were present here are the only ones directly involved.His region is now under the

    Kingdom of DuskreedCity of GenowaAfternoonInside a fortified chamber at the heart of Genowa’s city lord estate, a massive rectangular table dominated the room.It was not an ordinary meeting table.Its surface had been carved from a single slab of dark obsidian-veined stone, polished until it reflected light like still water.Upon it lay layered maps—parchment, leather, and enchanted silk—each detailing different regions of the Kingdom of Duskreed.Rivers shimmered faintly with mana ink, mountain ranges rose in subtle relief, and borders pulsed softly where territorial influence overlapped.At the center of the table stood an intricate three-dimensional model of the kingdom itself.Miniature cities rose like gemstones. Roads threaded between them like veins.Forests were sculpted from green crystal, farmlands etched in bronze-gold plates, and mountain ranges forged from dark steel.Genowa stood proudly near the east, its surrounding lands glowing faintly with a pale blue hue—markin
