Vicenzo's thanks came from the depths of his soul. He never expected the King of the West to save him personally—a rare honor by any standard.

Without Howard's intervention, Vicenzo and his allies like Sabertooth might not have survived. The thought of being responsible for such a loss was unbearable.

Howard waved off the thanks with a chuckle. "No need for formalities, Mr. Jencks. Just doing what's right."

Soon, they reached the desolate battlefield, a grim reminder of the conflict. The ground was a macabre tapestry of severed limbs and a river of blood—the aftermath of a fierce struggle.

Despite the sheer number of adversaries, they were nothing more than the weaker forces of the Infernal Gate, easily overpowered by Waldo's four fierce deputies and the Blood Shadow crew.

In no time at all, each one hit the ground. Though a few were still hanging on by a thread, their time was running out.

"Salute to the marshal!" The crowd roared as Howard appeared. They had met with Howard jus

    The hall filled with a chorus of coughs.Mister Howard always knew to keep things lively."Sir, I..." Sabertooth was visibly flustered, his mouth twitching in annoyance.'What's this about 'starting something'? I haven't even held Rakshasa's hand!' A thought crossed Sabertooth's mind.Blood Rakshasa's head dipped even lower, her blush deepening. Despite her shyness, her eyes sparkled with happiness. She knew Howard was teasing, but it meant he was not against the idea.Just like the others had noticed, their time together had sparked something special in her for Sabertooth.She was not sure if it was love, but it was definitely more than just camaraderie."Enough of that, let's get down to brass tacks!" Howard cut in, gesturing for Sabertooth to drop it.The rest of the guys, except for the Judge and Hacks, were as clueless as ever, but seeing Blood Rakshasa's reaction, Howard could not help but feel a bit of joy for Sabertooth.He liked Blood Rakshasa, she seemed like a good

    "Blood Rakshasa, let's get into the details about that map," Howard said, shifting his gaze to Blood Rakshasa.He might not care for the map itself, but with Rakshasa's very survival at stake, it was time to get involved."Right," Blood Rakshasa agreed with a nod before diving back into the conversation."To be honest, I had no clue what that map was all about. Lately, though, there's been this buzz around The Dark World."Rumor has it that some martial emperor—a real powerhouse—bit the dust in the mountains here about twenty or thirty years back. They say he left behind all his secrets."And now, everyone's tripping over themselves to get there!""A martial emperor, that's it? Is it really that big of a deal?" Yoel could not hide his skepticism."Mr. Louis, for most folks who live and breathe martial arts, becoming a martial emperor is like a pipe dream," Sabertooth chimed in. "So when a chance like this falls into your lap, you bet they're all in.""How'd The Dark World even

    "And their fighters? How strong are we talking?" Howard pressed on."The Burning Heaven Sect's heavy hitters are their sect leader and four vice-leaders," Sabertooth explained."Their leader is a martial ancestor with major mastery, a whole two notches above Infernal Gate's leader. The vice-leaders? Two are at martial knight ultimate mastery, one's at martial knight mastery, and the last one's a major mastery in martial knight."Beyond that fab five, the next tough nuts are a pair of martial knights initially, plus a good twenty or thirty disciples in the martial god league.""Damn, The Dark World's no joke, huh?" The Judge muttered, his lips giving a little involuntary twitch."If the runner-up in power is this formidable, can you imagine how tough the top dog must be? And that Shadow Demon Shrine, it's a total enigma!""Feeling a bit out of your league now, huh?" Mystical Chubby snickered. "Better buckle down and practice when you get back, or Sir's gonna have to give you a rea

    "Damn it. You really want to die? Fine, I'll make it happen!" Moses, momentarily stunned, yanked a hefty saber from his side. "Let's go! Kill them all, but leave Blood Rakshasa alive..."Before he could finish his command, Dragon's hand flicked, and his saber unleashed a streak of icy light, striking like lightning.Moses did not even have time to react. The gleam of the blade had already plunged through his chest, exiting out the back."How... How can this be..." Moses gasped, looking down at the saber wound incredulously.He was a true martial knight, though just at the initial's level, but a knight all the same! To be felled by a single blow—was there anything more ludicrous?Since when did Rakshasa have such a formidable warrior?The next second, Moses's bisected body crashed to the ground, blood gushing, the scene a total mess.Jaws hit the floor all around, faces filled with shock as if they had seen a ghost in the daylight.A martial knight, cleaved in two with one strik

    "Everyone, look! There's a cave over there!"The group had not been on the move for long when Blood Rakshasa stopped in his tracks and pointed toward a massive rock face a couple hundred meters ahead.Everyone's gaze followed his gesture, and sure enough, nestled at the base of the cliff was a stone cave, roughly six feet tall.The entrance was cleverly hidden by a cluster of towering trees, making it nearly invisible unless they were really looking for it."That's got to be the place!" Howard called out, his voice echoing with a hint of excitement.No sooner had his words hung in the air than dozens of figures burst into view, their movements so swift they left trails of ghostly images behind. Each one was a formidable fighter, with even the least skilled among them being a late-stage martial general.Their leader was a striking figure. He was an elder with a shock of white hair and a lean, wiry frame, his eyes sharp as daggers and his presence as cutting as the wind. A mid-stag

    "Master... Sect Master..." Chris' voice was barely a whisper, his words trailing off as his head lolled to the side. His body shuddered in a few final spasms before going still.Everyone, except Howard, inhaled sharply at the sight.Yoel and his crew, who had been Howard's shadow for years, had sensed something off about the cave when Howard had let the others enter first. However, they had not anticipated it being that deadly.Chris was no ordinary fighter. He was a martial knight with ultimate mastery so refined he was on the cusp of a major breakthrough. All that, and he perished all the same. What kind of horror lurked within that cave?Blood Rakshasa, still reeling from the shock, shot Howard a puzzled look. How had Master Howard foreseen the danger?"Damn it!" The Burning Heaven Demon Elder's fury was palpable as he spun to face Howard, his voice thunderous. "You knew, didn't you? You sent them into danger on purpose!""Idiot. Just catching on?" Dragon's reply was icy, drip

    In a flash, the Burning Heaven Demon Elder lunged at Yoel like a wild beast unleashed. His fists cut through the air like a hurricane, each blow far more powerful than the last."Let's see what you've got!" Yoel's eyes narrowed as his energy spiked in response.His wrists flicked with lightning speed, sending a flurry of icy flashes through the air that coalesced into a ghostly blade, slashing down with the force of a thunderbolt.Their attacks met in a cataclysmic clash, sending a tidal wave of energy that scattered sand and stones. Even fighters a hundred meters away were rocked by the shockwave.Yoel was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth, before he crashed to the ground fifty meters away, his energy flagging.The Burning Heaven Demon Elder staggered back over ten meters, blood dripping from his lip, his face twisted in rage. He had not expected to be so badly hurt by someone just starting to tap into the power of the martial ancestors!"How's it going?" Howard asked,

    Crack!The crimson blade's light cleaved straight down from above, carving a massive ravine into the mountainous earth at his feet, a terrifying spectacle."So...incredibly strong..." With great difficulty, the Burning Heaven Demon Elder managed to speak those words before his body split in two and crumpled to the ground.In that brief moment, he had a hunch about Howard's true identity.In Rackaham, there could only be one young man with such prowess—the legendary King of the West, Master Howard himself.Regret washed over him. If only he had known that the Rakshasa team was under Master Howard's direct command, he would never have dared to step into that mess.Meanwhile, the onlookers in the nearby woods gasped in shock, their faces frozen in disbelief. The Sect Leader of the Burning Heaven Sect, a warrior of mid-stage martial ancestor rank, had been split in half by a single strike!Could it really be that outrageous?With no time left to ponder, the crowd snapped out of the

    "And look at that bracelet, it's stunning! Oh, and the compact has such a unique charm! Should we get one of each to decorate our homes?""Yuffie, you're still in school. How can you afford all this?" Talia chided gently. "You have a hundred fifty-dollar budget. Spend more, and it's coming out of your allowance.""What? Only a hundred fifty dollars? You're being too tight-fisted, sis!" Yuffie's complaint was lighthearted as she playfully turned to Howard. "Howard...""Don't even think about it. His wallet is in my hands!" Talia cut her off, fully aware of her little sister's ploy."Fine..." Yuffie's pout was all in good fun."Haha! It's not every day we get to do this, honey. If Yuffie finds something she loves, let's get it for her. Who knows if it'll be here next time?" Howard chuckled."Yay! You're the best, bro-in-law!" Yuffie cheered, her face lighting up with joy."You're just making her more spoiled!" Talia gave Howard a playful eye roll and turned her attention away from

    Howard's willingness to visit the antique market was not solely to assist the sisters in their quest for a legendary blade. Such weapons were treasures often stumbled upon by chance, rarely found by those who sought them.His real intent was to immerse the sisters in the rich culture of the martial arts clans they were then a part of. More exposure to the ways of the warrior guilds could only benefit them on their chosen path.The following morning, Howard's group of five set off in the direction of Nathanael. Talia and Yuffie buzzed with excitement throughout the journey, their minds alive with wonder.Nathanael, nestled in the mountains to the northeast of Mendorra and a couple hundred kilometers away, awaited them.By 10 a.m., they arrived, parking at the gates of a sprawling estate on the city's outskirts—the site of the famed market.Stepping out, they were greeted by a lively throng at the estate's entrance, many adorned in traditional robes, weapons hanging from their belts

    "And that's not all. They might even be a bona fide king-level warrior." Howard's brow furrowed with uncertainty."It looks like The Dark World is a whole lot more tangled than we thought," Yoel mused aloud.Then, turning back to Howard, he inquired, "Sir, did the old man ever share anything with you about The Dark World?""Not a word," Howard replied, shaking his head."Sir, do you think our mystery person could be from one of the elite families or sects, maybe just there on some errand?" Mystical Chubby chimed in.His speculation was not unfounded. Most of the king-level warriors from Rackaham were known to hail from the secretive clans and sects."It's unlikely." Howard dismissed the idea with another shake of his head. "From what Sabertooth described, our guy seems to know The Dark World like the back of his hand.""Who's that supposed to be?" Mystical Chubby scrunched his brow in confusion."Let it go for now. We'll head back to The Dark World in a little while," said Howa

    "Um..." Blood Rakshasa nodded, the woman's earlier words still ringing in her head."Sir... Sir, was what you said earlier true?" Blood Rakshasa asked Sabertooth, her voice barely above a whisper."What did I say?" Sabertooth looked puzzled for a moment."You said... You said next time, we'd go back home together to get married..." Blood Rakshasa's cheeks turned a soft pink."Hehe, absolutely," Sabertooth chuckled, his smile warm and genuine. "The boss gave me the order, and I've given my word."Blood Rakshasa's smile was shy but filled with joy.Soon after, Qemal strode in."Sabertooth, I've tracked down the hideout of the Slaying Heaven Palace," Qemal announced upon arrival."Is that so?" Sabertooth's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell the crew to take a two-hour breather, then we move out!"The Slaying Heaven Palace's goons had nearly wiped out them today. Payback was due.With the Palace's top fighters gone, the rest were hardly a threat. It was time to cross the Slay

    "Shadow Demon Shrine?" The woman's brow creased for a moment, but she quickly dropped the subject.She then turned to Sabertooth and observed, "You and your group have the vibe of soldiers. You're not originally from The Dark World, are you?""Speaking to our savior," Sabertooth gave a respectful nod, "we were part of the Rackaham Western Region's military before we came here."He was open with the woman who had saved over a hundred of his comrades."The Western Region's military?" The woman paused, a hint of recognition in her voice, "You're with the Blood Shadow Force?""That's us," Sabertooth confirmed with another bow."Is your leader the King of the West, Master Howard?" she inquired further."You know my boss?" Sabertooth looked surprised."Not personally, but I've heard the name," the woman replied with a shake of her head. "What's he got you doing in The Dark World?""Over the past couple of years, the world's heavy hitters have been funneling their muscle and resource

    "You'll live to regret this, Dark Demon Lord!" Blood Rakshasa declared, locking eyes with her adversary. "Kill us, and Master Howard will avenge us by wiping out every last one of you in your cursed palace...""Ha! That Master Howard of yours better think twice before stepping into The Dark World again, or it'll be his grave!" The Dark Demon Lord mocked with an icy laugh."You're the fool!" Sabertooth growled. "No one in The Dark World has been born who can take down our boss. Your time's coming!""Is that so?" The Dark Demon Lord sneered with disdain. "You're clueless, all of you. You have no idea how powerful the Shadow Demon Shrine truly is!""Enough babbling. Time to end this. I'll send you both to join your boss," he declared, his presence intensifying as he prepared to strike them down."I love you," Blood Rakshasa whispered, her eyes closing."No, don't!" Qemal and others shouted in despair.Then there was a thunderous boom.However, the expected tragedy did not unfold.

    Sabertooth sneered, watching the man's futile efforts. "You're such a fool!"He then declared solemnly, "Blood Shadow Technique, second form, Sky Slash!"With those words, he summoned all his strength, his saber carving a fierce arc of light through the air, striking like thunder at his foe.The Blood Shadow Technique was known for turning the tides against stronger adversaries.The white-haired elder's eyes narrowed in alarm. Caught mid-leap, he desperately wanted to dodge but could not. The saber's light bore down on him, a chilling aura of death shrouding him completely.In that instant, a wave of energy crashed through the air like a tidal wave, bringing a howling gale with it.Crash!Suddenly, Sabertooth was hurled away like a shell fired from a gun, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, before he slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater and falling silent."Sabertooth!" Blood Rakshasa's shout pierced the chaos as she spun and dashed to his side.She barely made

    The man in black was sent hurtling through the air, slamming into the ground with such force that he lay there motionlessly, struggling to rise. A gaping wound, carved by the relentless sword, oozed blood profusely from his abdomen."What in the world is that sword technique?" he gasped after a torturous effort to stand, his face ashen.He had underestimated Blood Rakshasa's swordplay. Since her breakthrough to a higher echelon of mastery, her blade's might had surged, utterly dominating her seasoned adversary."The Sword Without a Name," Blood Rakshasa declared icily.Without wasting another second, she launched another assault. Sabertooth was in dire straits, and she was determined to aid him.Her blade danced again, weaving a web of sword energy that shot toward the white-haired elder, ensnaring him in an instant.The old man's eyes narrowed in a flash of panic, realizing he was trapped with no way out."This is it!" he snarled, brandishing his blade and lunging forward.How

    With a thunderous explosion of energy, Blood Rakshasa's power surged, forcing the old man before her to stagger back in disbelief."Impossible! Have you broken through?" he gasped, steadying himself, his face a mask of astonishment."You bet I have!" Blood Rakshasa's face lit up with triumph.She had done it, just as the old man had surmised. Amid her swordplay, she felt a dormant core energy within her erupt, catapulting her to the zenith of martial knight at peak mastery stage.Master Howard's words rang in her head. The core energy left in her by a once-mighty warrior was too much to absorb at once. Back in that cave, she only managed a minor mastery in martial knight. However, Howard had predicted further advancements, and he was right."Let's see if you can handle a few more of my strikes!" Blood Rakshasa challenged, her spirit soaring not just from her newfound strength but also from a deeper connection to her swordsmanship."Bring it on!" the old man bellowed, his blade re
