Aidan demonstrated remarkable strength as he skillfully wielded his crescent-shaped dual blades. With a swift motion, he released a barrage of blade aura toward the golden vines. Each blade carried enough force to split mountains, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind and vibrant lights.In response to his attack, the silver vines transformed into long spears, hurtling rapidly toward him with astonishing precision. These spears adeptly intercepted every blade aura, triggering a sequence of explosions. The countless blade auras shattered, forcefully pushing back the silver vines."Hmph! Let's see how tough you are!" Aidan charged forward, crossing his dual blades. With a swift swing, he shouted, "Destruction Slash!"A crackling sound filled the air as two crescent-shaped blade auras swiftly slashed toward the golden vine. Initially three feet in length, these razor-sharp blade auras expanded to a towering three yards as they closed in. Appearing like unstoppable blades, they c

The initial assault proved ineffective, prompting the golden vines to launch another attack. The front end of the vine elevated, resembling a fully drawn bowstring. After a moment of gathering strength, it struck down toward Aidan in the crater.The follow-up strike demonstrated increased speed and force compared to the previous one. Before reaching full power, the air itself seemed to tear apart, resonating with the anticipation of the impending strike.The velocity and strength exhibited by the golden vines far exceeded those of the silver ones. Each strike carried a seismic impact as if the earth trembled.Aidan noticed the approaching golden vines and chose not to confront them again. With a strong push from his legs, he moved sideways. At that moment, the powerful strike of the golden vines hit precisely where he had been standing moments ago.The impact was thunderous, shaking the earth and creating a powerful shockwave. It resembled a gust of wind clearing away fallen

At this moment, Dustin was trailing behind the group 300 feet away. He secretly unsheathed his sword.Dustin purposely stayed at the back when he saw Aidan in danger. Then, Dustin threw out a shot as fast as lightning.The shot was so subtle that nobody noticed. It easily sliced the golden vine into two, saving Aidan.The reason why Dustin saved him was because they were in the same group. Plus, Aidan still had some use to him.As Grace said, all of the forces had already entered the oasis. Moreover, most of them were skillful martial artists.Before Dustin found Dracan essence, he shouldn't expose his identity.After all, Aidan's existence could help get rid of a lot of problems. Aidan was a grandmaster martial artist. Thus, he was more than capable of dealing with petty martial artists.Dustin only sent out that shot after considering that factor.Although the golden vine was powerful, it was only at a grandmaster martial artist's level. Thus, it couldn't withstand an ultimat

"Helped you?" Everyone looked around curiously after hearing Aidan's words.All of them were busy escaping just now. They didn't have the time to think about anything else.Perhaps something had happened just now."Mr. Ridge, your skills are superb. I doubt you'll need any of our help.""That's right. We wouldn't be much help in a battle of your level.""Mr. Ridge, did someone step in and affect your performance just now? How terrible of them!"Not knowing what happened, the crowd gossiped among themselves.They thought that only a grandmaster martial artist like Aidan would have the ability to defeat the vines.If Aidan didn't make a move just now, many people would be dead right now."Mr. Ridge, what happened?" Jackson tried asking."Nothing… Nothing much. Since nobody admitted to it, it's fine." Aidan shook his head without another word.He was just probing with his question earlier, not expecting an outcome from it. Aidan couldn't accept if an ultimate grandmaster was hi

Instead of making a move, Grace chose to understand the situation first. "Captain Wilder, can you tell who are the two groups of people there?""Based on their outfits, the team that has more people looks like they're from Fantasy Sea Alliance." Garrett soon found out after taking a closer look."Fantasy Sea Alliance? Who are they?" Grace continued asking.Narrowing his eyes, Garrett explained, "The three major sects in the Southwest are Drakes Dominion Order, Embersteel Order, and Frostwing Sect. "Under these major sects, there are six influential sects, and Fantasy Sea Alliance is one of them."However, Fantasy Sea Alliance is different from normal sects. The way they do things is extreme. Thus, they don't have a good reputation. They have all sorts of members inside too."Jackson couldn't help but sneer upon hearing that, "To put it simply, Fantasy Sea Alliance is formed by a bunch of immoral martial artists. "They try to make themselves righteous, but they secretly like to

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak like this?" Jackson couldn't help but feel furious seeing Sophia getting threatened. Initially, Jackson wanted to solve it calmly and avoid unnecessary conflicts.However, he didn't expect the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance to be so arrogant. The latter had disregarded Emberson Steel and attempted to forcefully seize Harmony Sect's treasure. They were simply going too far!"You—" Just as the Fantasy Sea Alliance's member was about to speak, the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him. "Everyone, treasures are worldly things. It's nothing compared to your own life. I doubt you guys wouldn't understand this, right?""So what if we do understand?" Jackson narrowed his eyes.The middle-aged man replied indifferently, "Since you understand, you should hand over the treasure. You lose some, but you win some. "We'll immediately leave once we get the treasure, and we won't make things difficult for you guys. How about it?"At tha

Looking at the several figures escaping a distance away, Jackson was stunned. "W-What?"He didn't expect Sophia and the others would leave so quickly. They even left without informing Jackson.Even if they needed to retreat, they should have at least told Jackson.By doing this, it seemed that they were leaving Jackson and his team to fend for themselves."Jackson risked his life to save them. Yet, the Harmony Sect's disciples just left like that. How ungrateful!" Hiding nearby, Garrett couldn't help but shake his head in disgust."It's hard to predict what people are thinking. It looks like Jackson's fiancée isn't a good person.""How pitiful. Jackson ended up in this situation just because of a few ungrateful brats."The crowd gossiped among themselves.Emberson Steel and Harmony Sect were alliances, while Jackson and Sophia were engaged.Normally, they should work together to face the enemy when in danger. They could even create a remarkable love story this way.Unexpected

When Jackson and the others rushed over to the source of the sound, they saw Sophia surrounded by the members of Fantasy Sea Alliance.The other disciples from the Harmony Sect had already fallen into a pool of blood, leaving Sophia to fend for herself.Sophia was already injured, not to mention she had used a lot of her energy. Now that she had been surrounded in such circumstances, it was easy to guess what would happen to her."Guys! This woman is so pretty! I think it's a shame if we kill her like that. We should let her live. Then, we can have fun with her today!" the man taking the lead shouted. He was looking at Sophia's curvy body with delight."Agreed!" The bunch of Fantasy Sea Alliance members grinned sinisterly.Harmony Sect's Sophia was a well-known beauty in the martial arts world. If they could have a taste of her, it was worth it for them to risk their lives."How shameless! I'll kill all of you!" Sophia was angered as she swung the Harmony Saber in her hands wit

Austin smiled brightly as he ushered Jovian into the meeting room with surprising enthusiasm.Jovian looked confused and somewhat unprepared. Before entering, he had already imagined many possible scenarios for their meeting. He had mentally prepared for a range of reactions from Austin—whether he would be ignored, faced with cold indifference, or dealt with arrogance. He was ready for any of those. After all, the rumors about Austin painted him as a "hellraiser" who did whatever he pleased.But, to his surprise, Austin didn't give him any trouble at all. Instead, he was giving him a warm reception, which left him utterly confused.Something felt off. He couldn't make sense of Austin's sudden warmth, and he had no idea what game he was playing."Bring the tea!" After inviting Jovian to sit, Austin gestured for the attendant to serve the tea. The drink was a rare specialty from West Lucozia, a premium elixir tea not sold to the public but reserved for high-ranking officials. Its

After stepping into the castle, Boston felt a knot in his stomach. He had been here before, but only for official matters.He was always escorted by guards or attendants, but this time, Austin himself had led him inside. Boston felt both honored and somewhat overwhelmed. Since when had he earned such treatment?Austin had brushed off higher-ranking officials, so why was he showing him so much attention? Was it because his shiny bald head made him stand out? He had no answers, only a growing curiosity as he followed Austin into the meeting room. "Sit." After Austin sat at the head of the table, he raised his hand and gestured for Boston to do the same."No… no need. I'll just stand." Boston smiled awkwardly."Just sit down. Why are you so nervous? I won't bite," Austin said in a dismissive tone. "Y-Yes, Your Highness." Boston didn't dare refuse again and obediently took a seat. He was six feet three inches tall, yet he looked like a startled rabbit. He sat up straight and didn't

When the castle's gate swung open, every eye turned toward the entrance. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Austin strode out with his two guards. His posture exuded confidence and authority."Your Highness!"The gathered officials instantly rushed forward to greet him. Grins spread across their faces as if they couldn't wait to please him. Whether it was Huxley, Percival, or Warrick, all wore the same ingratiating expression.After all, Austin was the infamous hellraiser. Though he had reined himself over the past two years, his past reputation still loomed over them.At least Rufus could be reasoned with. But Austin? He was a wild card—utterly unpredictable, like a ticking time bomb. Every last one of them had suffered his wrath before.Percival approached with a flattering smile. "Your Highness, you finally come out. I have something important to discuss with you. If you'd be so kind as to listen—"Before he could finish his sentence, he was dismissed by Austin, who found h

"Get lost! I'm not in the mood for anything right now. If you want to eat, go on your own." Warrick snapped, looking annoyed."I'm not going either," Percival refused flatly. "I'm on a health regimen these days—only tea, no alcohol.""Fine. If you're going to wait, then keep waiting. I won't be sticking around." Huxley forced a smile and acted like he was about to leave.But as he turned, he almost bumped into Boston, who was approaching from the other direction."Sorry, Sir Thatcher! I hope I didn't startle you." Since he was surrounded by so many high-ranking officials, Boston was already on edge. He had momentarily spaced out and almost caused a mishap by running into Huxley, which left him flustered and a bit tongue-tied.Unlike the other generals, Boston didn't come from an influential background or have any powerful connections. He had worked his way up from the bottom, and the last thing he wanted was to offend Huxley and risk losing everything he had fought so hard for.

After parting ways with Boston, Jovian checked into a nearby hotel to await the good news. Boston wasted no time. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, he headed to the castle to deliver a letter of introduction. But when he arrived, he was stunned by what he saw.The gates of the West Lucozian monarchy had already gathered quite a few people, and among them were several figures he immediately recognized. These included Huxley Thatcher, the Commander of the Militia; Warrick Prescott, the Major General of the State Guard; and Percival Wentworth, the Chancellor of the National Academy.These three were first-ranking officials. In West Lucozia, they were nothing short of kingmakers who wielded immense power and influence. Warrick, in particular, was two ranks above Boston. Hence, he felt the need to be cautious in his presence and was eager not to make a bad impression.Alongside these three prominent figures, several second- and third-ranking officials also stood in line at

The following morning, Jovian stood at the entrance of West Lucozia Airport, wearing a sharp suit.Before the trip, he had contacted his comrade with whom he had fought side by side in the military. After earning military merit and with the Ballard family's influence, he was fortunate enough to stay in Oakvale and secure a decent position.His comrade, on the other hand, had moved to West Lucozia to carve out a life for himself. Years of hard work had paid off—he was now a third-rank general with considerable power, influence, and a strong network of connections. Jovian's meeting with the Prince of West Lucozia would depend entirely on his comrade's connections.Just then, the roar of an engine cut through the air as a military jeep pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and the first thing that came into view was a bald head gleaming in the sunlight like a lightbulb. The glare nearly blinded him.Under that shiny dome was a face that looked ordinary at first glance. But w

"Grandfather, I understand why you sent Uncle Jonathan and Uncle Jensen to the Spanner and Fallon families to gather information," Natasha began. "But West Lucozia is thousands of miles away."She shook her head slightly. "They've always stayed out of the government's political matters. Sending Uncle Jovian there wouldn't achieve anything. He'd likely just be turned away." Oakvale and West Lucozia were worlds apart. The fight for the Oakvale throne didn't really affect the West Lucozian monarchy. Both sides had long adhered to an unspoken agreement to avoid meddling in each other's affairs."I know, but it'll be different this time. The royal throne is at stake, and every faction will do whatever it takes to secure West Lucozia's support. If the West Lucozian monarchy picks a side, the balance we've maintained for years will collapse. That's why I need to be ready for whatever happens," Simon replied.It would be best if the West Lucozian monarchy stayed out of the political strug

At the Ballard estate, Dustin was warmly welcomed to stay after dinner. This was the first time Natasha had brought her boyfriend home, so the Ballards made a big deal of it.Simon personally accompanied the young couple and invited them to the study to chat over tea. With his sharp eye, Simon could tell Dustin was no ordinary martial artist. His manners, speech, and broad knowledge set him apart from most people."Dustin, I fully support your relationship with Natasha. Your background or status doesn't matter. What matters most is that you two are happy together." Simon paused and said earnestly, "I want you to understand that she's been pampered all her life and hasn't faced much hardship. Now that she's with you, I hope you'll take good care of her.""Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I would never let her down," Dustin replied sincerely.Though they had known each other for some time and hadn't yet taken their relationship to the next level, they had already made their feelings clear

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Tristan's expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he sank into deep thought.It seemed he had underestimated the situation. He had assumed it was just a simple rivalry between brothers; he hadn't anticipated Seamus seizing the chance to further his own agenda.Seamus already wielded considerable influence. Under the guise of supporting Matthias' ascension to the throne, he had been forming alliances and recruiting talents. His influence had grown to rival the royal family's.If Seamus really supported Matthias' ascension, he'd overshadow the king, and no one would be able to stop him. The worst-case scenario would be Seamus using Matthias as a puppet to overthrow the House of Linsor."Nathaniel, is everything you said true?" Tristan frowned."Absolutely. Every word," Nathaniel replied solemnly. "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate.""I believe you. But… taking down Seamus won't be easy. Do you have a plan?" Tr
