Last Man Standing Chapter 526
"It's all clear now," Howard said with a dismissive wave of his hand."That chill in the air back in the cave? Probably just a deadly warning from the old-timer who's taking a dirt nap here, telling us to keep out."Back in the clearing, Howard had picked up on that sinister vibe. When they were there, his hunch had panned out.That was why he let the Burning Heaven Sect crew take the lead into the cave. It was not their lucky day by chance!"Really?" Blood Rakshasa said, half-getting it.Then Howard's squad filed into the cave, with Qemal and his hundred-strong Forbidden Army holding the fort outside.A couple of minutes and one claustrophobia-inducing tunnel later, they stepped into a cavernous space.The cavern stretched up over 10 meters, with a length and width that could easily fit a football field. Sunbeams streamed in through a smattering of holes in the ceiling, lighting up the joint.Stalactites in all sorts of wacky shapes hung around, and smack dab in the middle was

"Just as I thought!" Howard's eyebrows lifted, a spark of realization in his eyes.His energy surged, revealing the unmistakable power of a martial emperor.A powerful force flowed from his hand into the stalagmite.In an instant, the stalagmite shattered like a grenade, sending stone fragments flying.Another quake shook the cave.Soon after, a two-meter-high opening appeared in the wall nearby, revealing a space roughly the size of a small room."Master Howard, there's someone in here!" Blood Rakshasa called out.They all saw a smooth stone in the center of the room with a figure seated cross-legged on top, a rusty sword lying next to it. However, it was not a person—it was a perfectly preserved human skeleton.The cave's walls were unlike the rough exterior, polished to a mirror sheen."It looks like the rumors were true. Could this be the remains of the martial emperor?" The group paused at the cave's entrance, and The Judge examined the skeleton on the stone.They stood

"Rakshasa, snap out of it! Don't just stand there, thank Master Howard!" Sabertooth urged.He knew Howard was giving Blood Rakshasa the chance of a lifetime.The entire skill set of a martial emperor, the kind of thing warriors dream of—that was a real game-changer for Blood Rakshasa."Thank you, Master Howard!" Blood Rakshasa quickly recovered from her shock.She had only taken a quick look at some moves etched on the wall, but she could tell they were part of some seriously advanced martial arts."Go ahead, pay your respects to the departed. He's practically your mentor now," Howard said, his smile barely there."Right!" Blood Rakshasa nodded with determination, strode into the cave, approached the remains, and bowed deeply.As Blood Rakshasa was bowing, an intense energy surged from the skeleton, flooding into her."Blood Rakshasa, watch out!" Yoel and the others shouted, dashing forward to help as the energy enveloped her."Stay calm!" Howard's voice cut through the tensio

"Huh!?"In a heartbeat, Howard's eyes narrowed.He saw that the jade pendant was a near-perfect match to the dragon-shaped one he wore himself.While the group was still reeling in shock, a shadowy figure zipped into the cave from behind them, snatched the jade pendant, and bolted.The event unfolded so quickly. The intruder moved with such blinding speed that the group was left dumbstruck."Stop right there!" Howard commanded, his voice booming as he launched a palm strike at the fleeing figure, his power filling the air."Huh?" The thief had not anticipated encountering someone so formidable and tried to dodge, but only half a beat too late.He was sent sprawling by the wave of energy of Howard's strike.Then, the group could finally get a good look at the intruder—a gaunt man in his sixties or seventies, with piercing eyes and an aura of energy coiling around him."A martial emperor of major mastery!?" Yoel blurted, astounded."It's no wonder that the renowned Master Howar

"Another martial emperor?" Howard's brow creased in annoyance. "If it's death you want, I'm happy to oblige!"With those words, he summoned 90 percent of his power and countered with a palm strike of his own, unleashing a gale-force blast.Their attacks met with a thunderous impact, unleashing a mighty wave of energy that shattered trees and sent leaves swirling through the air.As the stranger gazed skyward, a gush of blood erupted from his mouth before he was hurled back with incredible force. Mid-flight, another stream of blood traced an arc through the air.He flew a good 50 or 60 meters before crashing into the rugged mountain terrain, creating a crater. His bones shattered, his body slumped like a deflated ball."How... How can this be..." Barely able to speak, he gasped a few words before his head lolled to the side, lifeless.Disbelief was etched on his face, he, a mighty martial emperor, had not withstood even a single blow!Howard, having sent his foe flying with a pal

Howard's brow furrowed once more. He searched the elder's eyes and saw no hint of deceit. "I'm afraid...there are very few within the Shadow Demon Shrine who know..." the elder continued, his voice trailing off.Howard let out a heavy sigh. The mystery of the jade pendant would have to wait."The Infernal Gate's recent capture of my Rackaham Imperial Order's people, that was by your Shadow Demon Shrine's command, wasn't it? Was there another agenda besides taking prisoners?" Howard asked, setting aside his concerns about the pendant for the moment."The Shadow Demon Shrine knew that Rakshasa were yours, so they wanted to use that as bait to catch them all at once," the elder explained, his throat dry with fear."Was this the Shrine's own plan, or is someone else pulling the strings?" Howard pressed on.He had guessed they might use Vicenzo as bait to lure out Rakshasa's forces. What puzzled him was why the Shrine would wait for Sabertooth's arrival to strike. It was a move that de

"Sir, did you catch them?" Yoel inquired."Yes," Howard nodded, then flashed a smile at Blood Rakshasa. "Congratulations!"With a resonant thump, Blood Rakshasa stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "Thank you, Master Howard, for making this possible!""Stand," Howard commanded, lifting his hand. "Have you mastered swordplay?""Committed to memory," Blood Rakshasa affirmed, offering the tarnished blade to Howard. "This sword is for you, Master Howard.""Why give it to me? This was a gift from your mentor," Howard said with a chuckle. "Have it reforged. It's bound to be something special.""Thank you, Master Howard!" Blood Rakshasa bowed deeply once more."Time to head back," Howard announced to the group."Got it!" came the chorus of replies.Hours later, they arrived back at Rakshasa HQ."Sir, what's the deal with that jade pendant?" Dragon asked Howard in the council hall."I wish I knew," Howard replied, shaking his head. He then confided in his members that he had a sim

"Sir, when we get back, Mr. Louis and I will head straight to Ciolara and deal with the rest of those noble families," Dragon said, his brow furrowed in concern."Everybody just take a breath!" Yoel shot them a stern look. "If it were as easy as all that, would we still be here talking about it?""The noble families weren't just stirring up trouble in Ciolara, they had the shadow of a secretive martial arts sect lurking behind them. Things were never as simple as they seemed.""Remember the mess with the Calnan family? Their secret backers had sent envoys to Ciolara. If Ezra and the crew hadn't stepped in, who knows what chaos would have ensued."Sabertooth could not contain his anger. "The secretive clans and sects in Rackaham are even worse than the nobles!"They're sucking Rackaham dry, all while dodging the rules. They're the real leeches of this place!""Enough with the gripes; just hang in there. Their reign's on borrowed time," Howard said, dismissing the complaints with a

"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
