Chapter 180: Reckoning ShadowsThe tension in the room was so thick it could be sliced with a blade. Chaollete Ashley planted herself firmly between Ryan and Yin Zhen, her eyes sharp and unwavering, her body radiating an aura of authority that demanded attention. The air felt heavy, each breath carrying the faint metallic tang of the recent battle outside, where shattered stones and scorched earth told silent tales of carnage."Do you think I lack the courage to strike you?!" Yin Zhen’s voice shattered the fragile calm like a thunderclap, his fists clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white. His glare bore into Ryan as though he could pierce his very soul.Ryan, in contrast, remained seated upon the rough-hewn bed, composed and measured. His expression was calm, almost eerily serene, but his eyes flickered with an intensity that made it clear he wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. The contrast between them was palpable, a storm of raw em

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
