Iron Knight and Moonblame remained in the tunnel, staring at the portal.They watched as the portal slowly shrank as it took the right number of Dragonkins and turned into a ball of green light."I guess that's it then," Iron Knight said, as if he was greatly tired just by leading the two groups there.Moonblame shifted as if he didn't know how to react.It was exactly when the construct moved. It was a tiny movement of changing position, but instantly Iron Knight became alert. He turned to Moonblame. "You, sunshine, or what's your name? Go on, I will meet you."Moonblame's eyes widened, but he nodded quickly and ran out of the tunnel.Iron Knight watched him go and then he turned his attention back to the construct. Surprisingly, the expression on his face right then was one that, had Quinn been here to witness it, he would have been struck dumb by surprise.The normal irritated gloomy expression on his face was gone, replaced by a respectful expression as he straightened, facing the

There wasn't much to tell his men.Captain Amros had already appointed an acting captain that would take charge of things in their care and gave instructions on how they should manage the castle.So Quinn only nodded and smiled at the bowing they did when he walked out of the castle.Quinn, Captain Amros, Taurus, Canute, and Devour Bandit with the remaining New Dawn members, five of them. Moonblame was also with them to be dropped off.Since it was morning, they quickly walked toward the golden ship where Iron Knight was already hovering in the air.They met Eloryna Stormhaven and her ten subordinates there, already waiting.This morning, Eloryna didn't glare at him. She only watched him with indifference.Quinn sighed as he watched her. He began to wonder how many artifacts and treasures she had with her and her subordinates. All of them wore faint blue robes with deep blue cloaks on top that covered most of their heads with hoods.All the subordinates she took were in the third stag

Syrax gave him a look. "I'm not done with Wailshear! You should be really careful when using it. That weapon is going to consume all of your energy in one go if you are not careful. And even if you are, it's still going to take that much to activate it.""Seriously, I will advise you to only start using it when you reach the third stage. But who knows what will happen in that Great Dungeon?"Quinn nodded seriously because that was the truth. Who knew what was going to go down in the Dungeon? It was better to go with all his weapons, even the one that would consume all his void energy just to activate.He took the Wailshear and put it in his ring and then focused on the key with the bell attached. It was what he was most curious about. That power that created and isolated a blurry box seemed so powerful and mysterious.Syrax placed his foreleg on it. "This is called The Toll of Severance and as you know, it can create an isolated space in the shape of a box that can't be destroyed from

A lot of people were killed, both normal humans and Dragonkins. That same night, they were buried, even the Dragonkins were buried.It cast Quinn and his group into a solemn mood. Not only because they died, but because of the reason and the how. They died so easily, without even knowing who killed them.Worse still, the death was caused by a powerful Dragonkin that was not even trying to kill them. They were just in the way. But it brutally drove home the point of how weaklings are not tolerated in the world.By dawn, when everything was done, Quinn settled down to get a good look at the loot he acquired.The fight had gone surprisingly well.When Quinn expelled the large amount of void energy that covered everything in rolling, thick darkness, he then used one of his artifacts to attack Whispered Blade.Since he knew he had only one shot at it, he used one of the most powerful he had at hand: the First General's sword.It was a single-use artifact that could unleash the devastating

The next seconds though, a carriage shot out from it and a mutilated body fell down.Quinn, who was standing atop the carriage, quickly shouted, "Everyone out of here!"Without slowing down at all, his carriage shot forward with blinding speed, leaving behind a shockwave that shoved many Dragonkins away.They looked at the retreating carriage with confusion and shock, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Only one person took the advice seriously and began to run.It was Taurus Drakemont.Immediately when Quinn had shouted for everyone to run, he had already started running. And that was because he knew that anything that could make Quinn run was something he did not want to meet.And he was right.The next moment, a dominating aura suddenly spread like the wings of some monstrosity. The area around two meters suddenly gained weight as if something invisible and incredibly heavy was pressing down on everything.The Void energy that was still obscuring the portal broke down and

Quinn watched Whispered Blade with a very displeasured look on his face. He really did not like how things were shaping up to be.He and the others were cloaked by an illusion created by Canute to fool Whispered Blade that it was indeed the Morrowling that entered the carriage with his men.When he put up the plan to catch Whispered Blade, he wanted to participate in it to give himself extra warning for the next day. Who would have thought that the bastard had something like the Artifact to create a special space to lock the carriage in?That threw a lot into their plan."Whispered Blade," Quinn said again, his displeasure leaking into his voice. "What is the meaning of this?"Whispered Blade blinked, then he smiled. "Well, you see, I really am from the Eastern Region and an independent. I mean, I'm still independent if I was still being backed by the Grand Duke, right? Maybe not, but who cares?""I don't," Quinn said flatly and jumped on top of the carriage. "What I care about is the
