Chapter 241: First Victim.
last update2025-06-01 16:05:07

After Oasis transmitted his command through the mana link, there was no hesitation, no murmuring of doubt.

Every single member of the Blood Roses—once Black Roses and Blood Letum—received his words with silent reverence.

No protests. No resistance. Only resolve.

They were hidden in every corner of Galecrest: in shadowy alleys, atop city walls, nestled among market stalls, or mingled seamlessly within the patrol units.

Some lounged at taverns as travelers, others manned the armories or kitchens of guard barracks.

A thousand Lunarians disguised as Stormreach’s own… and no one had noticed.

Inside the inn, the atmosphere remained deceptively warm.

Laughter echoed across the hall.

Plates clinked, boots thudded against the wooden floor as mercenaries danced without care, wine sloshing from silver mugs, and hired musicians played cheerful battle songs.

Oasis, Venak, and Shiye now sat at a quiet table on the third floor, separated from the revelers below by only a thin railing.

The table was

    “Speaking of which,” Rex muttered, his tone calmer now, almost thoughtful.The bark-like armor that had encased his body cracked down the middle, loud splinters echoing through the scorched battlefield as flakes of wood tumbled from his arms, chest, and shoulders.His once Dark elf like-appearance—gnarled, overgrown with bark and pulsing veins of crimson mana—peeled away in a steady cascade.The wooden fragments landed around his feet like shards of brittle bone, revealing the man beneath: lean, cut, and still dangerous despite the scratches bleeding faintly on his cheeks and neck.Wisps of steam curled from his skin where Oasis’s earlier spell had grazed him, and the fresh air hitting his bare skin stirred his long, disheveled hair as he remained upright.“The magic you used to deflect my attack while countering with your own,” Rex continued, his gaze locking on Oasis. “That was a third-circle spell.""And the one you used to erase that Solarclaw Tiger like it was a fish on a board—t

    "Heavenly Slicing Technique," Oasis whispered.His fingers moved like dancers across invisible strings—his forefingers and middle fingers from both hands extended, pulling from the void four razor-thin threads of cyan mana.They shimmered with divine energy, humming quietly in the silence before the storm.Like tendrils of light, the strings spiraled forward, weaving through the air in delicate but lethal arcs.The incoming spell—an enormous blast of jagged thorns wrapped in crimson mana—came barreling toward him like a wrathful beast.But within a few breaths, the spiraling strings cleaved through it.Whiir! Each rotation of Oasis's threads carved the attack into countless shards, scattering them into glittering motes of fragmented light.It was like watching a master sculptor carve a mountain with a feather—calm, effortless, terrifying.Rex narrowed his eyes and halted his incantation mid-chant.Oasis released the strings from his left hand with a flick, dispersing them like smoke,

    “Huh!!”Sir Ivory and Talo suddenly froze midair, their cloaks fluttering violently as if caught in a gust of invisible force.They were soaring back toward Black Magma City, the sky above Dark yet touched by the crimson blanket from rex.But now, both men hovered motionless, wide-eyed.A ripple of magic—dense, ancient, and suffocating—had just brushed past them like a whisper from death itself.It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t violent. It was subtle. And that subtlety made it even more terrifying.Talo, who was helding his wound, gasped. “W-What was that…?”Sir Ivory narrowed his eyes reflecting the crimson glow, his gaze searching the vast western horizon.“Something’s happening. Something big.” His voice was low, guarded. “Back then, I hoped the boy would survive... but now I’m certain he might not.""That magical energy—there’s no mistaking it. It belongs to someone far beyond me. Someone who could’ve crushed that beast like an insect.”He exhaled sharply, pulling Talo by the shoulder. “

    Clang!!!The impact echoed like a thunderclap across the battlefield. A dry, jagged thorn—hard as steel and as thick as a lance—had been launched with terrifying force toward Elder Cravon’s forehead.But before it could pierce him, a blur of cyan light carved through the space. In a blink, Oasis stood in front of the elder, one hand raised and clenched around the thorn's sharpened tip.The ground beneath him cracked.A shockwave rippled outward as if reality itself had buckled at his sudden displacement. Dust and leaves flew in all directions, and a gust of wind followed in his wake.The thorn splintered at the point of contact, unable to withstand the sheer density of Oasis’s palm.A faint mist hissed from his fingertips—steam rising from the friction as if his blood ran like boiling wind.Rex's eyes widened—not in fear, but in eager fascination.“That speed... That wasn’t teleportation… he actually moved.”He leaned back and retracted his thorn with a lazy, amused grin tugging at th

    The dry thorns started absorbing the blood and essence of the jagged bandit, and the moment they did, the air in the clearing grew thick—oppressive.A sound unlike anything human echoed through the grove: thump… THUMP… THUMP…A great heartbeat, disturbing and grotesque, pulsed from the ground beneath, resonating through the ribcages of all who stood nearby.The dirt trembled faintly as if the clearing itself was breathing—no, feeding.The dry thorns darkened with each pulse, soaking in the crimson essence with a leech-like hunger. Slowly, they began to change.Once dull and brittle like aged bark, the thorns pulsed faintly and then turned green—sickly at first, like rot on fruit, but then growing more vibrant, more alive.Leaves unfurled like awakening serpents, coiling gently as vitality seeped into the very bones of the roots.The thorns looked rejuvenated, as if centuries of life had been poured into their husks in mere seconds.The crowd—bandits, rogues, and unaffiliated travelers

    “We really faced humiliation tonight… one our rivals will share over wine, laughing with their wives and children as they retell it.”Sir Ivory’s voice trembled—not from fear, but from boiling rage.A few kilometers from the battlefield, his haori snapped wildly in the wind as he soared above the jagged forest, his expression contorted, veins bulging across his temple and under his eyes.His aura was no longer calm or regal—it was turbulent, leaking out like flames from a cracked furnace.Beside him, flying with a strained breath, was Talo—his face pale, twisted in agony, one hand clutching the bloody stump where his arm used to be.Sweat ran down his forehead in cold beads, his teeth clenched tightly as if to stop himself from screaming aloud.“Damn…” Sir Ivory muttered, glancing sideways. “One of my own had to lose an arm… because of me.”Talo managed to choke out words through the pain.“So… what now? Do we just leave it as it is?”Sir Ivory’s eyes narrowed, flickering like coals u
