Last Man Standing Chapter 622
"You all know about the Black Blade incident, don't you?" Kaison pressed on."He's been gravely wounded, still bedridden, and the four members from the Enforcement Division who were with him met with tragedy. All because someone in our own ranks spilled the beans on Black Blade's movements, setting them up for an ambush."Isn't that just the height of irony?""What?!" Gasps of disbelief echoed through the parlor."No way. A mole, in the Quintilian Shadow Sect?""Who could it be?!""Damn, there's a backstabber among us!""..."The drawing room was soon filled with a loud buzz of voices, most marked by a look of deep outrage."Do you know who the traitor is, district inspector? Name them, and I'll take their head!" the former deputy district inspector shouted loudly."Yes! Expose them and execute them for all to see!" several voices chimed in."Deputy district inspector, don't you have something to say to us all?" Kaison asked, setting down his coffee cup."What!?" The room h

The group halted in their tracks upon seeing Howard, then swiftly dropped to one knee, their voices booming in unison. "Marshal!""Stand," Howard commanded with a wave of his hand before settling into an open chair."Thank you, Marshal," they chorused again, rising to their feet.Most faces were painted with shock. The Marshal's presence in Quintilian was unexpected."Marshal... I admit my fault, I truly do. Please... I implore you to spare my life..." Acher, upon laying eyes on Howard, stumbled forward, pleading desperately."Every single one of you, from your first day in the Shadow Sect, should have etched its rules into your memory!" Howard's voice was composed and detached. "Your treachery led to Black Blade's grievous injuries and coma, not to mention the death of four members of the Enforcement Division!"Do you think you deserve mercy?""I..." Acher was shaking uncontrollably. "I was wrong... I realize my mistake, and I swear I'll never step out of line again. Please...

At the same time, in the Fabish family's sprawling courtyard, a tense standoff was unfolding at the central plaza.Yash Fabish, the family's leader, stood at the forefront, surrounded by his kin, all wearing grim expressions as if bracing for a battle.Across the way stood Norwin, the third-ranking lord of the Waker family, flanked by his kin. Their numbers might have been smaller than the Fabish clan, but the menacing vibe they gave off made it clear they were not the friendly sort."Listen to me, Fabish patriarch," Norwin called out to Yash, locking eyes with him. "That trinket you're clinging to is useless to you. It's just a scrap of paper, not worth the downfall of your entire house.""Sorry to disappoint, but it's a token from a cherished friend. Even if it were nothing but a blank sheet, to me, it's a treasure beyond measure," Yash replied, his voice heavy with resolve. A look of deep seriousness washed over his face as he spoke.Just yesterday, when the calamity that befel

"Sir!""Master!""Mr. Yash Fabish!""..."Voices from the Fabish family rose in a chorus of alarm."Great Elder, have you lost your mind?" Dune, the Fabish family's second-in-command, bellowed at the traitor."Irvin, to think you'd stab us in the back… You're a dead man!" Another of the family's guests seethed with rage."Why?" Yash, pulling himself off the ground, fixed his gaze on the old man, his voice heavy with betrayal.His heart plummeted. He could never have imagined that their revered Great Elder had been in cahoots with the rival Waker family all along—a deadly blow to the Fabish family's standing.The Great Elder was their champion, a warrior of martial knight level. His strength was a cornerstone of their defiance against the Waker family's might. With their champion then revealed to be disloyal, how could the Fabish family stand up to the Waker family's challenge?It all made sense then—why the Waker family got wind of the Canfield family's movements the moment t
Last Man Standing Chapter 626
The moment Norwin's words trailed off, Howard and Shylah, flanked by the elite of the Quintilian Shadow Sect, made their way to the plaza."Shylah!" Selena's voice pierced the air, her face brightening with sudden joy amidst her despair. Yash, too, caught sight of Shylah and her entourage, a flicker of hope sparking in his gaze. With the Sect stepping in, the Fabish family might just dodge that bullet.Shylah gave Selena a reassuring nod before turning her attention to Norwin with a pointed look. "Seems like the Waker family is courting trouble," she said calmly.Norwin, his voice steady but tense, replied, "This is an issue between the Waker and Fabish families. The Sect would do well to stay out of it." He had not anticipated the Shadow Sect's arrival. True, the Wakers were not afraid of the Sect, but a head-on clash was the last thing he wanted.He should have known that the Shadow Sect was not just some minor faction. It was a powerhouse with over a hundred thousand troops in e
Last Man Standing Chapter 627
"Third Master, watch out!" the elder cried out. He quickly swept his hand through the air, conjuring a fierce wind to counter Shylah's slashing attack.Their strikes met with equal force, causing both to stagger back several paces. The standoff was a draw.Shylah might have been outclassed in rank, but as a late-stage martial knight of minor mastery, and with the Cold Moon Saber in her grip, she held her own without a hitch."You... You're really asking for it!" Norwin, his face ashen from his brush with death, bellowed in rage.He could not believe Howard had the courage to go after him, showing blatant disrespect for the Waker family."Quite the bold one, attacking a Shadow Sect district governor," Howard said calmly, dismissing Norwin and turning his attention to the elder."Damn you, you've backed me into a corner, and I won't take the blame!" Norwin shouted before the elder could react.With a commanding gesture, he ordered, "Everyone, to arms! Take them down!"He could no
Last Man Standing Chapter 628
With no second thoughts, Norwin bolted for the estate's grand entrance. Having thought to challenge the Shadow Sect, he abandoned all hope of fortune upon realizing Howard's true identity.Against the King of the West, Master Howard, his own men were nothing. Even the entire Waker family combined would not pose a threat, not even enough to be considered a nuisance.The Calnan family's fate was a stark reminder of that.That was no ordinary family, they were a celestial-titled lineage, a notch above his own Waker family, and they had nearly been wiped out by the notorious King of the West."Think you can get away?" He had barely made it a few steps when Shylah's voice cut through the air, followed by the swift slash of her blade.Zip!The blade's edge whizzed by, narrowly missing his right knee. His lower leg tumbled to the ground as he crashed down."Ah!" A scream of agony escaped."Please...don't kill me..." Norwin, ignoring the throbbing pain in his leg, pleaded as Shylah clo

"You're too kind, Mr. Yash Fabish," Shylah replied."Mr. Lincoln, Shylah, I can't thank you enough!" Selena said, her face beaming with gratitude as she approached them."Ms. Fabish, please, it was nothing," Howard said with a light smile. "Our business here is done. We'll be on our way.""Master Howard, just a moment, please!" Yash called out.He reached into his coat and pulled out an aged piece of rice paper, handing it to Howard. "Master Howard, this is the formula the Waker noble family has been after. I'm not sure what it's for."The head of the Canfield family made it very clear that it shouldn't end up in the wrong hands, so it's probably not just any ordinary item. You've seen a lot, Master Howard. Any idea what it is?""Let me have a look," said Howard, taking the paper and scanning it."Aha!" His eyes brightened after a brief moment."Master Howard, you recognize this formula?" Yash asked, prompted by Howard's intrigued look, while the others leaned in, equally curio

"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
