Chapter 10: The Duel of Shadows and Whispers

“Fifteen minutes,” Ryan muttered under his breath, the words carrying a weight that settled into the very marrow of his bones.

“You may commence whenever you feel ready,” Franca stated, her posture unwavering, her gaze sharp as obsidian. The air between them crackled faintly, charged with the latent energy of their brewing confrontation.

Ryan inhaled deeply, the thick dioki energy within him swirling like a tempest barely restrained. Beside him, the celestial sphinx shifted its form with fluid grace, muscles coiled and ready, knowing that their usual measured approach would be insufficient against Franca’s formidable prowess.

Yet, beneath the surface of preparation lay a gambit that none could have foreseen — the simplest, most primal of instincts that even the most skilled summoners might overlook. Ryan’s first move was not a strike, not a charge, but a swift pivot — a retreat, a damnable sprint into the uncertain void.

    Chapter 179: Echoes of Blood and ShadowsRyan approached the small, plain tent with careful steps, holding a steaming cup of water in his hands. The scent of hot herbs lingered faintly, rising from the liquid, mixing with the earthy aroma of the camp surrounding them. Inside, Chaollete Ashley was seated on one of the two narrow beds the tent contained, her posture tense, knees drawn close, as if the world outside had ceased to exist and left only her own racing thoughts. Her hands gripped the edge of her thighs, pressing them into her face, and for a long moment, she did not speak, did not acknowledge Ryan’s presence.Ryan knelt beside her, setting the cup on the small makeshift wooden table beside the bed. "Drink this first," he said softly, his tone calm but firm, almost like the anchor of reason in the storm of her emotions.Chaollete shook her head slightly, her voice trapped behind the tight barrier of her lips. She could barely form words, each

    Chapter 178: Chaollete’s Awakening Ryan recounted everything with painstaking clarity, detailing every encounter they had faced with the mature-class alien and the juvenile-class mutants. His voice carried a measured gravity, as though every word could tilt the balance of their current struggle. Sullivan’s expression darkened with each new piece of information, the lines of his face deepening into an unreadable storm. It was evident that the implications weighed heavily on him; he was no stranger to danger, yet even he seemed unsettled by the cunning and ruthlessness of the enemies Ryan described. When Ryan concluded, Sullivan’s voice came out sharp, tinged with disbelief. “So… this new alien, it’s attempting to use human brains as fuel for its own growth?” Ryan nodded, a shadow of unease passing over his features. “That is my speculation, sir, though it seems more plausible than any theory we’ve previously encountered. This al

    Chapter 177: Ryan’s Question “I am Sullivan Flamante. Welcome to my camp, children.” The voice was calm but carried the weight of authority, resonating across the training grounds like a sword cutting through the air. Every word seemed deliberate, imbued with an unspoken power that immediately set Ryan and Chaollete Ashley on edge. “Flamante…” Chaollete’s voice caught, almost involuntarily. The name was infamous, resonating like thunder across the kingdom, and the recognition in her eyes was undeniable. This was not just another knight. He was the legendary Sword Saint, a figure whose exploits had become mythic in scope. Her pulse quickened, a mixture of awe and respect coursing through her veins. Ryan, however, responded very differently. His gaze swept over the old general, taking in the subtle details of his attire—the leather coat worn with effortless style, the gleaming hilt of his sword resting against his hip, the faint,

    Chapter 176: The Veteran of One SwordThe military camp sprawled before Ryan in a way that defied the simple calculations of someone who had only ever faced conventional fortresses. From the outside, it was an unassuming stronghold, but up close, the sheer presence of more than two thousand alien beings surrounding it painted a scene that teetered on the edge of chaos. The walls, massive and meticulously reinforced, seemed impervious to any force short of a catastrophic siege, while the surrounding ditches and rudimentary fortifications created a gauntlet that would crush the unprepared. It was a fortress, yes, but one that had survived countless trials and witnessed innumerable battles, and Ryan could feel its pulse of vigilance like a heartbeat beneath the stone and timber.As his eyes traced the bustling life of the camp, it became clear that these were not ordinary soldiers. The knights stationed along the walls moved with a precision and lethality that Ryan immediately recognized

    Summoned Celestial Divine Beast C175: The Path Through Chaos The moment the air cracked open beneath their feet, both Ryan and Chaollete Ashley felt the rush of gravity seize them. “?!” They gasped at the same time as their bodies dropped through the smoke-filled sky. They hadn’t expected to fall together — not like this, not after everything. The world blurred into a chaotic spiral of shattered sky, falling debris, and monstrous shapes. But instead of panicking, Ryan twisted his body midair, his reflexes sharper than instinct. His right hand shot out, palm open, and his voice rang out like a command to the heavens. “Return, Nidhogg! Anubis!” In a flash of radiant light, both divine beasts vanished from the sky. It wasn’t that they disobeyed; it was that Ryan willed them to withdraw instantly — and their disappearance severed every Celestial Link in the area. Far above, Risa, Sasha, and Yin Zhen gasped as their own links flickered out one after another. The battle above turned

    Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts C174: Wings of Desperation --- The sky itself trembled. Dust storms spiraled upward as the alien horde advanced like a living tide of metal and sinew, their grotesque wings slicing through the burning air. The earth had already become a graveyard of broken armor and shattered Dioki residue. It was clear to everyone watching — there was no way through the enemy lines anymore. On land, the path was sealed. In the air, however… there was still one last, insane chance. “Shit… we don’t have time to think,” Ryan hissed under his breath, gripping his gauntlet so tightly that Dioki light pulsed through the seams. The mature-class alien bellowed again, its dull, vibrating trumpet cry shaking the mountainside. The resonance drilled into his skull, setting his nerves ablaze. Each pulse of sound made his heartbeat skip and his stomach twist. The others — Chaollete Ashley, David, and the three familiars belonging to her — were clutching their e
