Chapter 299: Daku(2).
last update2025-07-10 18:58:06

Days passed.

Daku continued his shadowy surveillance, tailing Zane wherever he ventured from the Sweet Tooth Inn.

Like a ghost behind curtains, Daku drifted through streets and alleyways, melting into crowds and fading into corners, his presence as imperceptible as mist before dawn.

He never missed a step.

But even with his legendary stealth and honed instinct, not once did he find a viable chance to snatch the boy from the open streets.

And what unsettled him most wasn’t the lack of opportunity—it was Zane himself.

Carefree. Cheerful. Bursting with laughter and joy, the young master of the Bluemoon family moved like someone untouched by shadows.

He cracked jokes with his retainers, sampled street foods, marveled at artifact shops, even danced with local children under string lights that sparkled at night.

It was like Zane was on vacation… while Daku was drowning in paranoia.

“They’re enjoying life,” Daku thought bitterly, “and I’m out here—sweating, calculating every step like I’m th

    “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

    Venak’s blade was so fast that no blood dared cling to its edge.His movement—swift in, swift out—left nothing but silence and a rolling head.The rogue’s body stood for a heartbeat before crumpling, lifeless, beside the still-bouncing skull.Murmurs erupted instantly:“He didn’t even move—was that teleportation?”“That wasn’t swordplay… that was a ghost’s strike…”“Who the hell is that kid?!”“One strike… just one…”“And no one even saw it happen…”Oasis didn’t blink.His gaze trailed lazily over the headless corpse, then to the stunned crowd.“Mmmh… That’s the fate that befalls those who can’t keep their hands to themselves.” His voice was calm, but cold—cutting through the tension like a blade of wind.He turned his eyes to the severed head.“Indeed, cultivators die for greed as birds die for food.”He smiled faintly—then turned to Sir Ivory.“As I was saying…” he began, voice gathering weight.“If that had been a B-rank or C-rank beast, elder would not have appeared here. Nor woul

    “Ohh... I see. This junior is Oasis of Lunaris,” Sir Ivory said slowly, eyes narrowing. “The second disciple of Sect Master Conri Bluemoon.”For the briefest moment, his composed mask flickered—something sharp behind his gaze—but it vanished just as quickly, and the stoic, refined expression returned.The winds hissed in the silence that followed.“Indeed, I’m that Oasis,” Oasis confirmed plainly, chin held high, his voice unwavering.Sir Ivory tilted his head slightly, his hands still folded behind his back. “So this elder should simply take your word for it? That you are who you claim?”His words weren’t aggressive—just formal, edged with diplomatic suspicion.“This elder has never met Oasis of Lunaris before. And forgive me, but these days, there are many frauds who dare to steal another’s name.”Oasis gave a small nod, his expression calm.“This junior understands the elder’s caution.”With that, he flicked his wrist.A soft shimmer of cyan light appeared as he summoned a clear cr

    “What is this magical pressure…?” Talo's voice trembled slightly as the air around them surged, wind roaring in unnatural currents.He stood just behind Sir Ivory, eyes wide as he squinted toward the glowing epicenter of the battle, now crackling with emerald lightning and howling winds.The oppressive magical force bore down on the land like a tempest’s fist.“No doubt… this is coming from a wind mage,” Talo concluded, wind flaring his black-crimson robes as he steadied himself with mana.Sir Ivory’s long white beard fluttered in the chaotic breeze, yet his expression remained unreadable—calm, calculating, and unimpressed.“You're right,” he said, eyes locked on the swirling dome of pressure several kilometers ahead.“Whoever he is, he's preparing to end that beast with that attack. And if I were naïve, I’d pretend not to notice—” his lips curled slightly, “—that this display is also meant for us.”A gust hit them hard, but Ivory didn’t even blink.“A message.” He narrowed his eyes.

    Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!Block after block of explosive force tore through the clearing.Each solar-mana strike from the towering Solarclaw Tiger collided with Oasis’s emerald wind magic shields, creating thunderous booms and sonic shockwaves that buckled the earth.The wind shields shimmered electric green, rippling outward in waves of emerald light under Oasis’s cyan aura.The air vibrated with the explosive collision of fire and wind, scorching sparks and swirling leaves illuminating the night.Oasis stood firm, aura blazing across his lean chest. A half-smile curled across his face.“Mmmh, surely the young master is enjoying himself,” Venak thought, perched atop the pillar.Still breathing from the lake of energy below, he focused inward—meditating to replenish his mana.Each breath was a fight: the land was soaked in brute fire mana, suffocating the natural, regenerative mana he craved.Recovery was slow and labored.Grrraaawr!!Below, the Solarclaw Tiger circled, unleashing guttu

    And from the west, just near the borderlands between Elderrest and Ignis Vale, four figures weaved between tall flame trees and jagged mossy ridges.They moved with silent coordination, each cloaked in olive-green robes, the fabric weathered and speckled with dirt and soot from days of pursuit.On their backs, their cloaks bore a crest—a twisted root coiling around a spearhead.It was unmistakable: The Ginsenbark Guild, infamous across Verdantia for their ruthless pursuit of debtors, deserters, and bounties.The sky above them rumbled low with distant magical turbulence, casting pale orange pulses across their faces.It came from the east—where the battle between Oasis and the Solarclaw Tiger raged.“What’s going on here… what magical pressure is that?” one of them muttered, his arms folded, expression tight.His eyes, unusually wide, scanned the glowing horizon. “And who’s fighting such a beast? The aura coming from it—at least A-Rank, no question.”Another stepped forward, holding a
