210. The Awakening of the Stormblood
His voice was low, almost quiet. Yet every word struck with the force of thunder.Mahesa forced a faint smile."Rajendra..."The name left his lips slowly."So you're really still alive."The figure stood motionless.Rajendra—the Storm King.His expression remained unreadable."Unfortunately for you, I am."Mahesa exhaled."We've spent decades searching for you."A faint smile touched Rajendra's lips."And failed."Dark energy began gathering around Mahesa.Dense.Heavy.Oppressive."Perhaps once."His eyes narrowed."But you're no longer standing at the top."Velindra stepped forward.A cold violet mist spread from her body, filling the air with a suffocating chill."And your heir isn't ready."Her gaze settled on Oscar.Obsessive.Possessive."I can still take him."Tiny arcs of lightning danced across Rajendra's fingertips.His expression hardened."You can certainly try."The silence shattered.Mahesa vanished.So did Rajendra.BOOOOM!Their first collision shook the entire house.
209. The Wrath of the Thunder God
Mahesa chuckled softly behind his granddaughter.“So it’s true.”His gaze narrowed as he looked at Elizabeth.“Impressive. Your body was able to withstand a transfer of that magnitude. Women with talent like yours are rare. Normally, only exceptionally strong men can endure such power.”Elizabeth said nothing, but her body tensed.The old man could see things that ordinary people would never notice.Mahesa stepped forward.Each step carried a subtle pressure that made the air feel heavier.“You two are certainly interesting.”His eyes shifted from Elizabeth to Oscar.“But your destinies are not the same.”Oscar stared at him coldly.“I don’t believe in destiny.”Mahesa smiled faintly.“That’s because you still don’t know who you really are.”The black ring around Oscar’s neck suddenly pulsed harder.Once.Twice.Three times.His heartbeat quickened with it.Mahesa saw the reaction and his eyes gleamed with satisfaction.“Yes... exactly as I suspected.”He raised one hand.Dark energy
208. The Mysterious Guests
Yet despite their calm appearance, an overwhelming pressure radiated from both of them.Far beyond anything Oscar had faced before.The elderly man offered a faint smile.“Good evening.”His voice was gentle.Far too gentle for someone carrying such a terrifying presence.Oscar said nothing.The woman standing beside the old man stared at him intently.Her gaze slowly drifted down to the black ring around his neck.Then her lips curved into a beautiful smile—one filled with a strangely possessive desire.“So this is him...”Her voice was as soft as silk.“The young man chosen by the Thunder King.”Elizabeth immediately narrowed her eyes.She didn’t like the way the woman was looking at Oscar.The old man bowed slightly.“My name is Mahesa.”He then gestured toward the woman beside him.“And this is my granddaughter, Velindra.”Velindra smiled.Her eyes never left Oscar.“I’ve been looking for you for a very long time.”Oscar remained calm.“Do you need something?”Velindra let out a s
207. Core Power
“It’s fine,” Oscar said calmly. “I was drawing out the toxins that were still hidden in your father’s body. He’ll be fine now. In fact... his internal power will become even stronger.”He casually wiped the dark blue-black blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a brief explanation.“Oh...” Elizabeth finally understood, though she couldn’t hide her surprise.So when the toxins were removed, Oscar was the one who suffered the consequences.That was what had happened when their palms were connected. Through the purification process, Oscar could sense everything within the other person’s body—and he bore the full burden of whatever condition they carried.“What do you feel?” Oscar asked.“Nothing unusual,” General Danur replied. “But my body feels much lighter.”Oscar smiled, relieved to hear that.“Then you should get some rest.”“Alright.”As soon as General Danur left the room, Elizabeth moved into the seat he had occupied moments earlier.Now it was her turn.Oscar knew she neede
206. True Core Power
Whoosh!He vanished.And in the next instant—BOOOOM!!The final impact thundered through the night.Dust surged upward.Then slowly settled.And when the air finally cleared—No one remained standing except Oscar.Elizabeth walked toward him, her eyes sweeping across the surroundings.Silence.Absolute silence.But this wasn't an ordinary silence.It was the aftermath of a major wave finally coming to an end.Oscar drew a deep breath and slowly let it out.Yet he didn't smile.He wasn't relieved.Not yet.Because he understood something very clearly.If fighters of this caliber had already been sent after him...Then somewhere above them, there were people far more powerful.He stared into the distance.Far beyond the ruined street.“This isn't over,” he murmured. “And I've never been afraid.”Elizabeth stood beside him.“Neither of us did anything wrong,” she said quietly. “We were only defending ourselves.”Silence followed.Both of them understood.What would come next wouldn't be
205. Finishing Them Off
Disrupt the rhythm.Find the smallest opening.At first, it was invisible.But little by little, it began to form.THUD!A minor clash.Nothing dramatic.Yet it was enough to make one of them hesitate.Just a fraction of a second.For anyone else, it would have meant nothing.For Oscar, it was everything.Whoosh!He slipped into the opening.Faster.Deeper.WHAM!His strike landed cleanly against the man's flank.For the first time, one of the three was driven back farther than before.The formation cracked.The man in the center immediately moved to cover the gap.But Oscar was already gone.Whoosh!He gave them no time.BAM!The second attack came before they could recover.They tried to close ranks again.But their rhythm had already been disturbed.And Oscar had no intention of letting them regain it.The battle shifted.Slowly.Unmistakably.The fracture in their coordination remained almost invisible.Yet Oscar felt it clearly.That tiny delay.That brief disruption in timing.A
