last update2024-05-07 19:57:04

Meanwhile, in Riverbend Hamlet,

on the banks of the Silverwater River, the tranquil waters flowed gently, reflecting the moon's ethereal glow.

The river's surface rippled with a mesmerizing dance, mirroring the starry sky above and casting a serene ambiance over the hamlet.

Sir Elias Hawthorne stood on the riverbank, his weathered features illuminated by the soft moonlight.

Beside him, Oasis, still reeling from the revelations of his legacy, stood in silent contemplation.

The magical box and its contents lay between them, a silent testament to the mysteries that surrounded them.

The air was thick with anticipation as both Sir Elias and Oasis grappled with the weight of their thoughts.

Seven years' worth of unanswered questions swirled in their minds, mingling with the echoes of Oasis's father's words.

The letter's contents reverberated in the silence, each word carrying the weight of destiny and purpose.

As they stood in quiet reflection, the tranquility of the night was suddenly shattered by a surge of energy that rippled through the air.

The queen's aura, unleashed from the heart of Sylvaneth, reached even the quiet hamlet of Riverbend, its presence palpable in the night air.

Sir Elias's keen senses picked up on the subtle shift in the atmosphere, and he turned to Oasis with a knowing smile.

"Something good must have happened in the capital," he remarked, his voice tinged with anticipation. "Without a doubt, that is Queen Elara's magic."

Oasis, amazed by the power of the queen, felt a surge of determination coursing through him.

"I am going to be stronger than her, and stronger than everyone," he declared with unwavering resolve.

Turning to Sir Elias with a determined expression, Oasis made a request that echoed with the weight of his newfound determination.

"Please, Sir Elias, can you train me?" he asked, his voice filled with conviction.

Sir Elias's smile widened at Oasis's request, a spark of excitement dancing in his eyes.

"I was already planning to do just that," he replied, his tone brimming with enthusiasm.

It was as if a lion had spotted its prey, ready to embark on the thrill of the hunt.

With a steely resolve, Oasis affirmed his commitment to his own growth and development.

"I have to conquer myself before I conquer the realm and my problems," he declared, his words echoing with the weight of his determination.

"First things first," Sir Elias spoke with authority, his voice carrying a soothing resonance.

"Since your magic energy has stabilized, let's completely heal your injuries."

As Sir Elias began the incantation of his healing magic, known as "Sylvan Restoration," the air around them seemed to shimmer with a serene aura.

The healing energy reflected on the surface of the Silverwater River, casting a gentle glow as it enveloped Oasis in its soothing embrace.

Oasis felt a warm sensation wash over him as Sir Elias's magic worked its wonders.

The pain in his chest dissolved into nothingness, replaced by a sense of rejuvenation and vitality.

His wounds healed completely, leaving behind no trace of the injuries that had once plagued him.

With a deep breath, Oasis felt as though he were reborn, his body restored to its peak condition.

After the healing was complete, Sir Elias wasted no time delving into a comprehensive explanation of the various magic natures in the realm.

He began with the kingdom of Avaloria, describing it as the "Kingdom of the Eternal Sun," where powerful fire mages and sand manipulators harnessed the energy of the sun and sand.

"Verdantia," Sir Elias continued, his voice filled with reverence, "is a kingdom deeply connected to nature."

He explained how druids and elementalists in Verdantia harnessed the power of earth and plants to protect their homeland,

utilizing magic that resonated with the lush greenery and natural abundance of the kingdom.

As Sir Elias moved on to describe Frostgard, he spoke of a land shrouded in ice and snow, where its inhabitants were mainly skilled in ice magic and frost-based combat.

The capital city, he explained, was a marvel of icy architecture illuminated by shimmering auroras in the sky.

With each kingdom he described, Sir Elias provided detailed insights into the unique characteristics of their magic and the ways in which it manifested in the inhabitants.

He explained how some individuals were naturally attuned to certain types of magic, while others gravitated towards different forms based on their innate abilities and inclinations.

"Magic is as diverse as the kingdoms themselves," Sir Elias concluded, his voice filled with wisdom.

"Each form of magic is a reflection of the environment and culture of its respective kingdom, and those who wield it do so with a deep understanding of its nuances and complexities."

As Sir Elias spoke, he gestured towards the Silverwater River, a glint of determination shining in his eyes.

"In my prime, I was best in utilizing wind and water magic," he explained. "Allow me to demonstrate."

With a series of fluid movements and incantations, Sir Elias channeled his magic, drawing upon the elements of wind and water with a grace that spoke of years of practice and mastery.

The air around them began to stir, a gentle breeze sweeping through the clearing as the surface of the river rippled in response.

With a focused gaze, Sir Elias extended his hands towards the river, his magic weaving together in a seamless dance of power and control.

A whirlwind formed above the water, swirling with increasing intensity as it gathered moisture from the river below.

In a breathtaking display of skill, Sir Elias performed a high-level double casting, combining his wind and water magic in a dazzling display of elemental mastery.

The whirlwind twisted and expanded, shaping itself into intricate patterns that danced across the surface of the river with mesmerizing grace.

As Oasis watched in awe, Sir Elias's control over the elements was evident in every movement, his magic flowing with effortless precision.

The air crackled with energy as the whirlwind surged with power, a testament to Sir Elias's formidable skills as a mage.

With a final flourish, Sir Elias released his hold on the magic, allowing the whirlwind to dissipate with a soft sigh. The air grew still once more, the surface of the river returning to its calm, reflective state.

"That, young Oasis, is the beauty of wind and water magic," Sir Elias explained, his voice tinged with pride.

"It requires patience, focus, and a deep connection to the elements and a lot cultivation. With practice and dedication, you too can wield the magic of the elements with such mastery."

    Whoosh—whoosh.The forest breathed with a low, ancient rhythm as the targeted man dashed through the towering woodland, his figure a blur weaving from branch to branch. Each step was precise, controlled—his feet barely touching the bark before launching him forward again. Leaves trembled in his wake, and the dense canopy above filtered the dim, emerald light across his moving silhouette. With a final leap, he ascended higher than before and landed upon a thick branch, crouching low, his hand braced against the rough surface as he stilled himself completely.Silence.From that stillness, his senses expanded outward, his perception stretching like an invisible net through the forest. The air itself seemed to ripple faintly as he probed deeper, searching, listening.Above him, unseen and untouched by that probing gaze, Vesta hovered lazily in his falcon form—his cyan feathers faintly shimmering against the filtered light. He did not flap his wings wildly; instead, he floated with effo

    Among the demonic cultivators, the one who had been speaking—clearly their leader—finally leaped down from atop his Tri-Venom Abyssal Tiger.His descent was heavy, deliberate, his bare feet slamming into the ground with a dull, echoing thud that rippled faintly through the already corrupted earth.Above, hidden within the dense canopy, Vesta did not move an inch.He remained perfectly still, his presence erased so completely that even the surrounding mana seemed unaware of him. His golden eyes simply watched, sharp and calculating, as everything unfolded below.The man slowly crouched, his movements controlled but tense. Before him lay what remained of the beast Vesta had killed.Ash.Barely anything more.Even the ashes themselves were sparse, as if they had been further consumed after death. The cyan flames had left nothing behind—no bone, no flesh, no trace of what once was.He reached out, letting the remnants sift through his fingers. Then he brought his hand closer, sniffing lig

    “Necrotic mana…”Vesta’s golden eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the beast before him. The Tri-Venom Abyssal Tiger stood firm, its massive frame trembling as it inhaled the surrounding mana with violent intensity.The air itself warped around it—dark distortions rippling outward like cracks in reality. The once vibrant grass beneath its feet began to rot, blackening and curling in on itself as if life was being siphoned away.The pressure rose.It wasn’t just heavy—it was suffocating.The mana emanating from the beast thickened into something foul, something corrosive.It pressed down on the surroundings with such force that even the already heightened gravity deepened further, dragging at everything within its reach.Then—Without warning—It exhaled.A massive necrotic blast erupted from its maw.The attack tore through the air with a shrill whistle, a wave of dark, decaying energy that devoured everything in its path. Trees disintegrated, the ground cracked and withered, and t

    After some minutes, high above the towering expanse of colossal trunk trees, Vesta soared through the vast canopy in the form of a radiant cyan falcon. His wings sliced cleanly through the currents, leaving behind faint streaks of shimmering light as the dense air parted around him.The further he traveled, the more the environment began to shift—subtly at first, then undeniably.“Mmh… it really is like another world on this side of the Celestial Sphere,” Vesta thought, his sharp golden eyes scanning everything below with piercing precision.The bamboo groves had long vanished behind him. In their place stood ancient trees—massive, thick, and gnarled—stretching skyward like pillars that upheld the heavens themselves.Their canopies were so dense that sunlight filtered through in fractured beams, casting dancing shadows across the forest floor far below. The air itself felt heavier, thicker, as if saturated with a deeper, more ancient form of mana.Then—His gaze sharpened.“...What is

    Venak instinctively stepped forward, his lips parting as he raised his hand slightly. “Vesta—” he called, intending to stop him, to at least discuss the scouting plan properly before anyone moved ahead into unknown territory.But before the words could fully leave his mouth—Daku’s hand came up, stopping him.“It’s fine, brother. Let him be,” Daku said calmly, his gaze still fixed in the direction Vesta had vanished. “This will actually work in our favor.”Venak turned slightly toward him.“After all,” Daku continued, “Vesta can escape if the need arises. You’ve seen it—his ability to disperse into flames. That alone makes him far more suited for scouting unknown terrain than any of us.”He paused, then added, “And… didn’t you feel it?”“The moment he transformed… his presence shifted.”“It was no longer that of a human child.”“…It was that of a mystic beast.”Venak exhaled softly, lowering his hand. “Yeah… you’re right.”A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “Sometimes I f

  • Chapter 660: The Bitter Catalyst.

    The Blood Roses moved as one through the towering bamboo canopy, their figures weaving between the swaying green pillars with speed that would have been impossible for ordinary cultivators.Yet, despite how fast they were moving, their pace was ultimately dictated by one person—Delvan. He was the slowest among them, bound by the limits of the Newborn Realm, and to maintain formation, the others had no choice but to match his speed.It was not an easy pace to sustain.Their bodies burned through stamina, their mana circulated continuously to reinforce movement, balance, and perception. The strain was evident—yet not equal among them.Vesta and Daku moved almost effortlessly, their reserves vast and their control refined to a terrifying degree. Venak followed closely behind, his breathing steady, his movements precise.Du Shiye, though slightly taxed, maintained composure. And then there was Delvan—sweat clinging to his skin, breath growing heavier with each passing minute, yet still pu
