Chapter 429: Gate Beyond Distance
Chapter 429: Gate Beyond DistanceWhile the rest of the battlefield had already exploded into separate clashes, Ryan remained mounted atop Sphinx, calmly observing the movements of his opponents from above.The battlefield was chaotic.Explosions echoed from multiple directions.Dioki fluctuations collided constantly in the distance.Every member of their group had already found their target.Only Ryan remained uncommitted.Sphinx glanced sideways at him before speaking."You aren't seriously planning to handle all three of them yourself, are you?"His voice carried obvious concern."Don't get arrogant just because they're using weaker familiars. Those people aren't idiots. If they can't beat you with their strongest summons, they'll bury you under numbers."Ryan merely smiled.His expression remained relaxed.Too relaxed."Don't worry."Sp
Chapter 428
Chapter 428 Veil of the Hunting Moon BOOM! The world seemed to tilt sideways. A violent explosion erupted beside the convoy, blasting dirt, shattered wood, and chunks of stone into the air. The carriage carrying Count Reysion spun violently before crashing onto its side with enough force to make the surrounding ground tremble. "Urgh!" The Count clenched his teeth as the impact slammed him against the interior wall. A translucent barrier flashed around him at the last second. The young knight assigned to protect him had reacted instantly. Dioki surged through the blade in his hand, forming a protective shield that absorbed most of the shock. The carriage groaned. Wood cracked. Metal bent. Dust poured through every openi
Chapter 427: Masks and Misdirection
Chapter 427: Masks and MisdirectionThe atmosphere inside the auction house had finally relaxed.The tension that had been hanging over the entire event for days had vanished without leaving a trace. Merchants were smiling again. Guards no longer looked as though they expected an ambush from every shadow. Even the staff members who had spent the entire auction worrying about threats and robberies seemed capable of breathing normally for the first time.Misha sat across from Ryan and offered a warm smile."Thank you. Honestly, both of you helped more than you realize. The auction finished without any major incident. Just having your names attached to our security arrangements was enough to scare certain people away."Ryan rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly."You're giving us too much credit. We're still students. We didn't exactly perform some grand heroic feat."His gaze drifted toward the pouch of go
Chapter 426: Masks Beneath the Crowd
Chapter 426: Masks Beneath the CrowdMorning arrived with clear skies and a calm atmosphere that felt almost unnatural.Ryan and Alavenya headed toward the auction house together shortly after breakfast. The massive building was already bustling with activity despite the auction not having officially started yet. Merchants, servants, guards, and workers moved in every direction, creating an organized chaos that surrounded the entire property.Since Alavenya had accepted responsibility for maintaining security during the auction, she immediately separated from Ryan and reported to the personnel in charge of protecting the venue.The moment she entered the security headquarters, several people rose from their seats.Among them were six summoners.Just one glance was enough for Alavenya to roughly estimate their abilities.Six summoners working together inside a city protected by local authorities.Under
Chapter 425: The Weight of Words
Chapter 425: The Weight of Words"You're serious?" Ryan asked quietly.The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere inside the room changed.It was subtle at first.Then it became impossible to ignore.Alavenya's body stiffened.The relaxed discussion from a moment ago vanished completely. Ryan was no longer speaking casually. His expression had hardened, and there was a sharpness in his eyes that she had never seen before."Huh?" Alavenya blinked.Ryan stared at her for several seconds before speaking again."I'm honestly starting to question the way you think."His voice wasn't loud.That somehow made it worse.Alavenya frowned."What are you talking about?"Ryan leaned back slightly."Tell me something. Do you think ordinary people's lives don't matter?"The question hit her so unexpectedly that she froze."Wha
Chapter 424: The Hidden Target
Chapter 424: The Hidden TargetSeveral months earlier.Ryan sat across from the Dragon King, his expression calm while his mind moved through possibilities one after another.The discussion had already reached a critical point.The Dragon King's massive presence filled the room without him needing to do anything. Even while sitting still, he gave off the feeling of a dormant predator. The kind that could remain motionless for years and still tear apart armies the moment it opened its eyes.Ryan leaned slightly forward."What if I make it look like you were tricked by me?" he asked. "How would that affect things?"The Dragon King looked at him for a few seconds before speaking."I hope you won't take offense at what I'm about to say."Ryan shrugged."I gave you permission already. Go ahead."The Dragon King nodded."Your plan works because my daughter is prideful. Mor
