Chapter 362
The greatsword came down.The broad blade, curved at the tip, rough and thick, carried the full weight of Ragnar's body, all his fury, and all the momentum from his six-meter charge, which showed no sign of slowing.Lein did not raise his sword to block it.He tilted his black blade by just a few degrees, enough to create an angle that did not resist the attack but instead guided it away.The two blades met.SKRIIIIIIING!The sound of metal scraping against metal was deafening. Sparks burst in every direction, hundreds of orange points bouncing off the stone pavement and the walls of ruined buildings, illuminating the pools of blood around them with a light that had no place in such a scene.Ragnar's greatsword did not stop.Its blade slid along the back of the black sword, skidding sideways and continuing forward, downward, toward the empty ground beside Lein. The force that had been intended to split him apart now had no target, and Ragnar was carried along with it, his body leaning

He spun through the air.Once, twice, three times. With reflexes that showed this was not the first time his body had needed to regain its orientation amid something beyond his control, his feet found the ground before the rest of him. He absorbed part of the momentum, and Ragnar landed on his feet six meters from where the clash had taken place.He stood upright.His hand tightened around the hilt of his sword, and a slight tremor ran through his clenched fist. It was not caused by exertion, but by something deeper than that.Numbness.From his wrist to his elbow, the sensation in the arm that had held his sword was gone. It was as though that part of his body had simply decided to stop participating for a while.Ragnar looked at his hand.Then forward.Toward Lein, who stood exactly where Ragnar had been moments earlier, atop the horse that now stood without its rider.This man was fast.Faster than he had anticipated.And his strength was different from the kind of strength one cou
Chapter 360
From the dozens of casualties at the beginning, the number had now climbed to nearly a hundred.And this had happened not over the course of minutes, but in an even shorter span of time, because the five people from the Kingdom of Tyranoth did not need much time to produce devastating results.Bjorn had already passed through the eastern row of houses twice.The first time, he destroyed the buildings. The second time, he finished off anyone still trying to stand among the ruins. Not because he had been instructed to do so, but because they were in his path, and he did not deviate from it for anything he considered insignificant.Halvard had moved from the merchant's cart to a storage warehouse, then to a meeting hall at the western end of the street, acting like someone who chose his targets not according to their size or value, but simply according to whatever happened to be in front of him.Gunnar and Leif had already cleared an entire block.What remained of that block was not a dr
Chapter 359
The tea in her cup was still steaming.Lyris sat on a stone bench facing the fountain, holding a cup in both hands, like someone who finally had a reason not to hold anything heavier than that.She drank the tea differently from all the tea she had ever had in this garden before. It was not that the taste was different, but rather the way it felt in her mouth. Slower, more complete, like someone savoring a drink without thinking about anything else while doing so.She took a second sip, a smile appearing on her face without her intending it, emerging naturally as the cup touched her lips.She was free now.Not free in the sense that there was nothing left to do or no more responsibilities to bear. Rather, she was free in a more fundamental sense: her next choice would truly be a choice, not an obligation with no alternative.King Vaelthorn was conscious, and his body had begun to recover. With the king able to resume control of the kingdom, there was no longer any reason for her to re
Chapter 358
Ragnar did not dismount from his horse.His eyes swept across each direction ahead of him. A bustling settlement, houses standing relatively close to one another, and people who had yet to realize that someone at the end of the street, sitting atop a horse, was about to decide the fate of their morning."Bjorn." His gaze settled on the dark-haired man beside him, the one wearing a leather vest. "The row of houses to the east. Destroy the sturdiest-looking ones first. The rest will take care of themselves."Bjorn nodded once. No questions asked."Halvard." He turned to the large man wearing a fur mantle. "There's a horse-drawn cart at the southern end of the road. A merchant with his goods. I can see that everything is arranged very neatly, and it's bothering my eyes."Halvard pulled his hand away from his waist, his weapon already in hand before Ragnar had even finished saying his name."Gunnar. Leif." He turned to the shortest and the oldest among them. "You know what needs to be don
Chapter 357
Outside King Vaelthorn's chamber, the corridor, which usually felt heavy with an oppressive atmosphere, seemed a little lighter this time.Or perhaps that was simply how Lyris felt now.She let out a long sigh, the kind of sigh that came from someone who had just put down a burden she had carried for a long time and only realized how heavy it was once it was gone."Thank you so much for healing my father, Explorer." Her voice sounded different from the way she had spoken to Lein during their previous encounters. There was no formal veneer, no distance between their respective positions. "I will never forget what you've done for me."Lein looked at her for a moment."It's nothing." His response came without hesitation. "And judging by King Vaelthorn's condition, he'll be fine after a few weeks. With the spiritual energy he possesses, his body will recover on its own."Lyris nodded."Thank you so much, Explorer."Sincere. Without any embellishment. Two words repeated, yet they did not f
