2024-05-07 20:17:56The gentle sound of the Silverwater River echoed through the tranquil hamlet of Riverbend as the morning sun cast its golden rays upon the sleepy village.
The river's surface shimmered with the soft light, its gentle currents weaving a mesmerizing dance as they flowed towards the distant horizon.
Nestled on the banks of the Silverwater River.
Riverbend Hamlet was a quaint and picturesque village, its rustic charm accentuated by the natural beauty that surrounded it.
Wooden cottages with thatched roofs lined the cobblestone streets, their colorful flower gardens blooming with vibrant hues.
The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the nearby forest.
Birds chirped merrily in the trees, their cheerful melodies adding to the peaceful ambiance of the hamlet.
Sir Elias Hawthorne stirred from his slumber in his cozy abode on the outskirts of the village.
The morning sunlight streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow upon the wooden beams of his home.
Beside him, Oasis lay sleeping soundly, his breathing steady and peaceful.
With a soft sigh, Sir Elias rose from his bed and made his way to the window, gazing out at the tranquil scene unfolding before him.
The village was beginning to stir to life, villagers going about their daily routines with a sense of quiet contentment.
As Sir Elias watched the hustle and bustle of the hamlet below, a sense of anticipation stirred within him.
Today marked the beginning of a new chapter in Oasis's journey, and Sir Elias was determined to make it count.
With a sense of purpose, Sir Elias set about preparing for the day ahead.
He gathered his belongings and roused Oasis from his slumber, gently shaking him awake.
"Rise and shine, young Oasis," Sir Elias called out with a warm smile. "We have a journey ahead of us, and it's time to get moving."
As Oasis blinked away the remnants of sleep and stretched his limbs, Sir Elias continued,
"By the time you're fully awake, I've already packed our supplies. We're setting out on a new adventure today."
Confusion flickered in Oasis's eyes as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"But I thought we were supposed to start training today," he said, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Don't worry, my boy," Sir Elias reassured him, clapping a hand on his shoulder.
"Our training is about to get much more serious. In fact, it's about to become a journey of its own."
As Oasis processed Sir Elias's words, a sense of excitement began to bubble within him.
"Where are we going?" he asked eagerly, anticipation shining in his eyes.
Sir Elias chuckled softly, a twinkle of mischief dancing in his gaze.
"Ah, now that's a surprise," he replied cryptically.
"But first, we have a stop to make before we begin our training in earnest."
As Sir Elias and Oasis stepped out onto the bustling streets of Riverbend Hamlet.
They were greeted by the warm morning sun and the cheerful hustle and bustle of the villagers going about their daily routines.
Passing by the wooden cottages and colorful flower gardens, they exchanged greetings with familiar faces along the way.
The baker waved from his shop doorway.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air, while the blacksmith nodded in acknowledgment as he hammered away at his latest creation.
Near the edge of the village, they encountered the fisherman who had found Oasis unconscious by the riverbank not long ago.
He approached with a broad smile, gratitude shining in his eyes as he clasped Oasis's hand in a firm handshake.
"I'm glad to see you up and about, lad," the fisherman said warmly. "You had us worried there for a moment. But it looks like you're back to your old self again."
Oasis returned the fisherman's smile, gratitude flooding his heart for the kindness and concern shown by the villagers.
"Thank you," he replied earnestly. "I'm feeling much better now, thanks to your timely help."
As they continued on their way, they passed through the bustling market square, where vendors hawked their wares and villagers gathered to socialize and barter for goods.
One of the villagers, a kind-hearted woman with a basket of fresh produce, approached Oasis with a warm smile.
"Good morning, young lad," she greeted him cheerfully.
"I heard you're setting off on a journey today. Here, take some fruits and bread for the road."
"It's not much, but it'll keep you fueled and nourished on your travels."
Oasis accepted her offering with gratitude, touched by her generosity.
"Thank you so much," he said sincerely. "This means a lot to me."
As they bid farewell to the villagers and made their way out of Riverbend Hamlet.
Sir Elias couldn't help but reflect on the sense of community and camaraderie that permeated the small village.
It was a place where neighbors looked out for one another, where kindness and compassion were woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The memory of receiving the news about the upcoming Whispering Exam flooded Sir Elias's mind.
It had been just the night before, as they entered their abode and prepared for rest after his moment with Oasis by the river bank.
As they settled in, one of the villagers had approached them with urgency, delivering the news about the exam that would take place in nine months' time.
Sir Elias had listened intently, his mind already racing with thoughts of how this would impact Oasis's training.
Now, as they walked along the familiar paths leading out of the hamlet, Sir Elias couldn't shake the weight of responsibility that settled upon his shoulders.
The upcoming exam meant that Oasis's training would need to be intensified, his skills honed to perfection in preparation for the challenges that lay ahead.
"I must take Oasis's training more seriously," Sir Elias muttered to himself, his voice barely audible above the gentle rustle of the trees.
"If he is to participate in the Whispering Exam, he needs to be prepared for anything. By the time the exam starts, Oasis would already be 8."
Oasis glanced up at Sir Elias, sensing the gravity of his words. "Is everything alright, Sir Elias?" he asked, concern etched into his features.
Sir Elias nodded, a determined expression crossing his face.
"Yes, everything is fine, Oasis," he replied, his tone firm.
"But from now on, your training will become more focused and rigorous. We have a goal to work towards, and I intend to see you reach it."

Chapter 726: Fracture of Heaven.
Meanwhile in the war, the battlefield had already descended into a relentless rhythm of slaughter and survival. The Six Eyes had resumed their coordinated advance, moving as a single sharpened unit through multiple skirmishes scattered across the war zone.Wherever they passed, resistance collapsed almost instantly, as if the very idea of holding ground against them was already a mistake.Venak led with precision, his misty blade flashing through the rain as he executed clean, decisive strikes—each motion ending in a single fatal result. One shot, one kill.No hesitation lingered in his movements, only calculated efficiency as enemies fell before they could even fully register his presence.Kyoku moved alongside the chaos with a different rhythm entirely, his wind-infused martial aura weaving through his flute techniques.Every note carried force, every burst of wind becoming a slicing edge that tore through enemy ranks with surgical accuracy.Shiye, further along the formation, remai
Chapter 725: Schism of the Damned.
“Damnit, are we even chasing after a person or a ghost?” Zarvok thought grimly as he surged forward through the raging storm. His crimson aura danced violently around his frame, flickering like blood fire against the endless darkness of the demonic territory.“We have been moving for several minutes now and he is not even hiding his energy, and yet the distance between us just keeps widening… and worse, it seems he is heading straight toward the war zone.”He cut through the heavy rain like a spear through water.Above him, the sky was swallowed by thick, oppressive clouds, and below those clouds rose the colossal canopy of ancient demonic trees—towering giants whose branches interlocked so densely they formed a second sky.Zarvok moved beneath that living darkness like a crimson streak, while behind him five figures followed in tight formation.His subordinates—making a total of six in Zarvok’s hunting group—moved with disciplined urgency, their auras barely visible through the rain-

The six eyes regrouped at last as Daku and Shiye finally arrived where the cloud of vapor was slowly beginning to thin away beneath the relentless storm. Rain poured heavily from the heavens, washing over the devastated battlefield below, yet even the endless rainfall could not erase the horrifying traces of what had just transpired there.Ashes drifted through the rain like black snow, swirling together with steam and smoke as the scorched remains of bodies lay scattered across the soaked earth.Some corpses had been burned until they were barely recognizable, while others still crackled faintly with lingering arcs of lightning that danced across charred flesh before fading into the mud.The stench of burned blood, scorched marrow, and wet soil lingered thickly in the air.Above the battlefield, standing atop the cliff overlooking the destruction, Venak and Kyoku watched everything silently beneath the roaring storm.Their figures were half-veiled by the sheets of rain and drifting m

“Mmh… it seems these are the two elders that I have been sensing, and from the looks of it, it truly seems they are part of the alliance,” Shiye thought quietly as his calm gaze settled upon the two old men standing atop the valley ridge.The heavy rain continued pouring from the heavens relentlessly, yet despite the storm and chaos surrounding the battlefield, the two elders stood unmoving like ancient mountains that had weathered countless wars and generations.Their robes fluttered beneath the violent winds while dense mana flowed calmly around their frames, preventing even a single drop of rain from touching them.Shiye observed them carefully.Even though his expression remained composed and unreadable as always, his sharp senses were already assessing their cultivation depth, mana circulation, breathing rhythm, and overall combat presence.Both elders radiated immense pressure, yet unlike the demonic cultivators below, their energies felt grounded and stable, filled with discipl
Chapter 722: The Six eyes of Nodoka.
Shhk!! Shhk!!! Shkk!!!The sounds of blades tearing through flesh echoed relentlessly beneath the storm-choked heavens.Blood mixed with rainwater as bodies crumbled heavily onto the soaked earth one after another. Thick mud splashed violently beneath collapsing corpses while streams of crimson spread through the battlefield like tiny rivers beneath the endless downpour.Within that chaos, Daku Maris moved like a phantom born from darkness itself.He danced through the battlefield with terrifying fluidity, vanishing into the shadows only to emerge somewhere else a heartbeat later. One moment he was behind an enemy, the next several meters away already slicing another throat open before retreating once more into obscurity.His daggers flashed repeatedly beneath the storm, severing arteries, cleaving necks, and where opportunities presented themselves, removing heads entirely and sending them rolling through the mud and thick grass.Every movement he made was precise.Efficient.Lethal.
Chapter 721: Sovereignty of the Swarm.
Within only a few powerful leaps, Oasis ascended rapidly through the towering forest, propelling himself upward with frightening precision. His movements were smooth and impossibly light despite the sheer force behind them. Every now and then, his bare feet would touch one of the colossal branches for only a fraction of a second before he launched himself again, each step creating a muted burst of cyan energy beneath him.The massive trees of the Demonic territory stretched endlessly toward the heavens, their trunks so gigantic that entire castles could have been hidden within their widths. Their branches spread outward like continents suspended in the sky, layered beneath endless sheets of rain and darkness.Then—Oasis pierced through the upper canopy.The world above was complete chaos.Heavy storm clouds churned violently across the heavens, roaring endlessly as lightning flickered within the dense masses of black and silver clouds.
