Albert responded with a quick acknowledgment and left promptly. As the Executioner, he had refrained from significant bloodshed since the era of peace in West Lucozia. However, Ambrose's recent actions compelled him to step back into the role. Ambrose's foolishness harmed himself and dragged the entire Linden family into a perilous situation."Reuben offers a sacrificial redemption through death, demoted to a commoner, and permits a dignified burial. "Punish all the Vern family criminals according to the law. Spare the innocent ones," Rufus spoke again."Understood!" Jaxon bowed and gestured, instructing someone to carry Reuben's lifeless body away. Soon, only Rufus and Eloise remained in the hall.Once everyone had left, Rufus finally couldn't hold back, succumbing to intense coughing. His body swayed, teetering on the edge."Your Highness! Are you okay?" Eloise was startled and quickly rushed forward to support him."It's nothing, just an old ailment." Rufus shook his head

"You're right about Austin. He's truly exceptional." Rufus nodded approvingly. He went on, "His combat prowess in the Black Dragon Army ranks is at the top, even surpassing my skills back in the day. Moreover, his military strategies make him an invaluable talent."The commanders often report Austin's achievements to me, and I've watched him grow. Having a son like him makes me proud," he expressed with satisfaction.Hearing this, Eloise breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a surge of joy. She hadn't expected him to pay such close attention to their son's development despite his busy schedule."Eloise, Austin is an outstanding young man, no doubt about it. He can become a great general, leading West Lucozia to expand its territory and achieve extraordinary feats."However, being the Prince of West Lucozia is a different story, at least not for now." He suddenly shifted the conversation.Upon hearing this, she paused, a hint of confusion crossing her face."Eloise, if I had more t

Eloise executed a graceful bow and turned to depart when a sudden upheaval disrupted the calm. A resounding crash echoed through the hall as the ceiling gave way, and a shadowy figure dressed in black descended dramatically. The assassin was wielding a sharp sword."Your Highness, look out!" Quick on her feet, she immediately raised her voice to warn Rufus of the imminent danger."Rufus! Your time has come! Die!" The assassin's cry reverberated as he thrust the sword.The motion was so swift, leaving only a momentary glint of light. As the radiance faded, the assassin's sword had already punctured Rufus's chest. Rufus stood frozen, staring at the sword that had impaled him, seemingly unable to grasp the reality of the situation. Eloise, positioned by the doorway, watched in disbelief, questioning how an assassin had managed to breach the heavily fortified castle.The assault was meticulously timed, occurring during Albert and Jaxon's absence, as if the assassin had orchestrat

"Your Highness? Your Highness! Wake up! Wake up!" Eloise, witnessing Rufus devoid of life, was plunged into inconsolable grief, wailing with profound sorrow. The suddenness of it all caught her completely off guard. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Rufus would die in her arms. Those who rushed to the scene were similarly moved to tears, for Rufus was not only the heart of the castle but also the linchpin of the entire West Lucozia.…As time passed, the dawn gradually broke, casting a somber atmosphere over the entire castle. The hall, once a place of bustling activity, was now transformed into a memorial hall adorned with white lilies. A finely crafted black coffin took center stage, containing the peacefully laid-out Rufus in resplendent attire.Mourners, which consisted of mostly loyal castle personnel and members of the Rhys family, dressed in mourning attire filled the hall.Eloise, kneeling at the forefront, gazed at Rufus's portrait with tears silently strea

"Your Highness suggests we root out the traitor?" Jaxon inquired."No, exposing the traitor and tracking the killer is Albert's task. Your mission is even more critical," Eloise said with seriousness. She went on, "These years, the situation in West Lucozia has been unstable. With His Highness gone, the castle is vulnerable. "I've gathered you, the Draken Guardians, to protect the castle. Whoever dares to plot against it, eliminate them without mercy!""I understand!" Jaxon replied. In times of crisis, extraordinary measures were necessary. With the prince gone, the castle faced imminent challenges."General Steele, you were a trusted aide to His Highness and are a pillar of our castle. It's up to you now," Eloise said solemnly."I am willing to sacrifice everything to safeguard the castle," Jaxon declared, fully aware of his responsibility.The prince's assassination placed the blame squarely on him as the captain of the royal guards. Were it not for the castle's current st

"Dustin, I understand you're dealing with a lot right now. But before you make any decisions, let me finish," Grace said with a smirk. She went on, "These girls trust you completely. If you take them in, it could be beneficial for you in many ways. You know, when you're feeling lonely or ... Well, you get the idea.""Hey! No jokes. Get to the point!" Dustin retorted impatiently."Alright, I'll get straight to it," Grace said, her tone turning serious. She added, "Logan, these girls are exceptional. I've screened them, and each one is intelligent, resilient, and will become remarkable individuals with a bit of nurturing.""What do you mean?" He squinted."I believe you understand the importance of undercover agents, especially female ones. They possess unique advantages in certain aspects. "If you train these girls as undercover agents, it could be a significant asset," she explained."Easy for you to say. Training an undercover agent takes a lot of time and effort. I'm strug

The other girls bowed and kneeled. Their sincerity was evident in the gesture.As Dustin observed the scene, he was momentarily stunned. The words spoken by the girl in yellow carried a profound impact. He hadn't expected that, after enduring such traumatic experiences, these girls weren't merely concerned about their own situations. But they were contemplating the fate of all vulnerable groups worldwide. Their noble aspirations and heightened awareness resonated deeply, even touching Dustin deep in his heart.In alignment with Grace's earlier insight, these young women were forced into the darkness but still harbored aspirations to be the light. Their exceptional courage was genuinely commendable. Who claimed women fall short of men? In the domain of true righteousness, these female heroes stood tall, contributing noble deeds to uphold their share of the world. With such a group of virtuous fighters, how can West Lucozia not thrive? How could the world not find its equilibri

At this moment, Dustin's eyes burned with determination. His eyes reflected a silent resolve. Though once estranged from his father, the passage of time had woven a deeper comprehension of the choices he made. Particularly upon learning of his father's deteriorating health and limited time, any residual discord had gracefully dissipated. His singular aspiration now was to address the concerns surrounding the Dragon Guard. Then, in his father's remaining days, he would do his duty as a son with utmost sincerity.Unexpectedly, a tragedy struck, and now his father fell victim to an assailant before their reunion. This sudden and devastating event left him profoundly shaken."Celestial Blade!" Dustin roared in a burst of emotion, beckoning the Celestial Blade to his side, readying himself for the challenges outside. Fueled by the profound grief of the loss of his father, he was determined to eradicate every remnant of the Dragon Guard."Your Highness! Please calm down!" Seeing D

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

"Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag
