Chapter 394: Whispers and Beliefs.
About a day after the meeting of the Reapers, word began to leak.Information spread like wildfire in Verdantia, whispers carried first through House of Whispers guild halls and messenger hawks, then shouted across bustling marketplaces.By noon, it was no longer rumor but proclamation: Rex Veidros was dead—killed by Oasis of Lunaris.The news was staggering, not confined to Verdantia alone.Even the neighboring Kingdom of Ironhold, the frozen bastion of Frostguard, and distant regions beyond the western and eastern seas heard the tale within few hours.Couriers, merchants, wandering cultivators, and bardic singers carried the shocking tidings on restless tongues.In every inn, tavern, and roadside gathering hall, people pointed to the posters nailed to doors and wooden posts.The parchment was stamped with guild seals, declaring the official word: Rex Veidros has fallen. Slain by the young elder of Lunaris.The atmosphere in Verdantia was thick.Tankards froze midway to lips as commo
Chapter 393: Learn the eternal truth.
Heavy incense drifted in the air, curling like snakes, and the oppressive silence was broken only by the deep voice of the Guild Master.“Riku,” the Guild Master said slowly, his tone carrying the weight of both authority and suspicion, “do you think that child is capable of betraying us?”Riku now stood a respectful distance away, his head lowered.His eyes, however, glinted with unease.“Honestly, Master, I don’t know. I only had a master-disciple type of relationship with him—nothing more. I never dwelled in emotions or sentiment. With him, it was always about strength. Only strength.” His words echoed coldly in the chamber.The Guild Master leaned back slightly on his chair, fingers drumming against the armrest.“But Master,” Riku continued, his brows furrowing, “who do you think it is that severed the soul link? Whoever it is must be incredible.""Could it be that Daku encountered a Saint Realm master—one who slew the others, and perhaps… took a liking to Daku’s talent? After all
Chapter 392: Starfall reapers.
Emberfall – Starfall Consortium GuildThe chamber was dimly lit, its walls lined with towering shelves of scrolls and maps, the scent of parchment and ink thick in the air.A round obsidian table sat in the center, its polished surface reflecting the faint glow of lantern-light.Within it, three figures were gathered, their voices low, murmurs echoing against the stone walls.“What is this hushed meeting about from the Guild Master? What happened? Did we find a new treasure location, or is an ancient ruin about to open?” one of them said, his tone laced with excitement.This was Mando Zhang, leader of the Daylight Reapers. His broad shoulders shook as he leaned forward, eager like a predator catching the scent of prey.His grin betrayed his hunger for glory.Another figure spoke, his voice low but tinged with irritation.“Who knows? Let’s get this over with already. I have research to do.” This was Akuma Muramasa, leader of the Dawn Reapers.His expression was grave, brows furrowed as
Chapter 391: I did not choose wrong.
Daku had fainted outright, his body collapsing to the ground as though struck by lightning.His thoughts had drowned in shock, the revelation of Oasis belonging to the Phoenix Clan crashing against his mind like tidal waves too heavy to bear.“We already suspected that young master Oasis was not normal…” Shiye’s sharp eyes narrowed as he watched.His thoughts turned inward, piecing together the clues. “We could tell from the very beginning—Vesta being a phoenix was no mere coincidence. And I saw it with my own eyes… so it really is true.""Young master is from the Phoenix Clan. To think I, Du Shiye, would walk beneath the shadow of such a being… what an honor.”Venak, however, did not look shaken.His lips curved faintly into a proud, knowing expression, as though silently declaring: “I already knew it. I’ve always known it.”Oasis, his presence steady and calm, raised a single hand.Wind mana unfurled around him like a living force, wrapping beneath Daku’s unconscious frame.The curr
Chapter 390: New Brother.
“So… does it mean the Young Master’s pendant can protect one’s conscious realm? What grade of artifact could it possibly be? How much would it even cost?” Venak thought to himself, his eyes fixed on the phoenix claw pendant now resting on Daku’s chest.The artifact glimmered faintly, threads of unseen power coiling around Daku like a guardian spirit.“Such an important treasure was in the Young Master’s hands all this time, concealing his cultivation. For him to give it away so casually… it shows how serious the Young Master is about recruiting Daku.”"But he said temporarily."Venak straightened, his tone steady. “Welcome to the Blood Roses, Daku Maris.”Du Shiye gave a sharp nod, his voice low but genuine as he added, “Welcome, brother.”Daku was taken aback.For the first time in years, he didn’t know how to react.His lips trembled, his mind a storm of gratitude and disbelief.All he could manage was a stiff nod, his fingers brushing the pendant as if to make sure this wasn’t some
Chapter 389: Reason and Instinct.
The storm inside Daku’s heart roared louder than the sea crashing against the hull of large vessel.His fingers twitched against his knees as thoughts spiraled through his mind, each one heavier than the last."What does it mean? What is he saying to me? I—Daku, the one who was trained and fed by Starfall—am I supposed to sever those ties just like that?"The weight of his guild’s shadow pressed against him.Starfall was no noble place; it was a pit dressed in finery, a guild built on greed and ruthless ambition. He knew it. He had always known it."I understand… we are not good people. We don’t do good. I’ve helped snatch treasures from countless families.""Even if I wasn’t always the one striking, I was the one scouting, the one mapping the blind spots, the one feeding the beast with my 'area perspectives.'""And now this guy—this kid younger than me—tells me I have to be one of his people?His throat tightened, his mind dragging him into corners darker than the caves in the mounta
