The Shadow Sect's hunt for the Dark Shady Cartel's main camp was a bust when they went straight for the name, coming up empty-handed.

"Italo says today's the day the north district boss' son is celebrating his new concubine. Alkaid's grabbing the Canfield family's secret formula as a gift for the occasion," Kaison went on.

"They're wiping out a whole family just to suck up to the heir apparent?" Phoenix's brow furrowed. "The Cartel's bunch deserves a fate worse than death."

"Well then, let's prepare a 'gift' of our own," Howard said, a glint of ice in his gaze.

"Roger that!" came the unified cry.

Italo pointed the investigators to a spot on the map where the North and Eastern Districts met. Nestled at the base of undulating hills was a small town, home to roughly 300000 souls.

The Wagg family was the town's cornerstone, their wealth and influence extending to over half the town's enterprises.

Icarus Wagg, the family patriarch, was renowned for his generosity. Each year, the Wagg

    "Die!" Dragon's brow furrowed, and his curved blade danced, casting a chilling light.In a flash, seven or eight men hit the ground, convulsing briefly before lying still.Those thugs from the Dark Shady Cartel had the blood of too many innocents on their hands. Even dying ten times would not be enough to atone for their sins.A collective gasp rippled through the onlookers standing a good distance away.The woman who had been gaping earlier was then slack-jawed, her eyes wide as she watched the two young men walk away. Who would have thought those scholarly-looking guys were so tough?Minutes later, Howard and his friend reached a part of the Wagg family's sprawling estate and saw a crowd up ahead. Scattered around the edges were the bodies of the estate's guards, at least half a dozen lifeless."The head of the Wagg family, this is your final warning. Bring out your daughter, or I'll wipe out your whole clan!" a man's voice boomed."You... You monsters..." The patriarch of the

    "Damn you! You're really asking for it!" The elder took a deep breath to steady himself before he lashed out at Dragon with a swift motion.His presence surged, revealing the formidable prowess of a martial knight just starting out."Impressive!" Dragon commented calmly.With a swift whoosh, a blade of light arced through the air, striking with the speed of lightning."What the—?" The elder shook as he felt the slash's might, quickly pulling back his attack to defend. However, it was a futile effort.The razor-sharp arc of light cut through his arm and buried itself deep into his chest."So...incredibly strong..." he gasped, a trickle of blood spilling from his lips before he toppled over, lifeless.The crowd gasped in shock.The Wagg family knew well the elder's capabilities—a true martial knight—and yet he was felled by a single, swift strike.How could anyone be so powerful?"You... Stay back! Do you have any idea who I am? If you kill me, my father will wipe you all out..

    "What?!"The patriarch's voice boomed through the room, his face a canvas of sheer disbelief. He had spent his life in that small town, yet the renown of Master Howard, King of the Western Region, had reached even his ears.Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to encounter that storied figure in his own home.With Howard's arrival, he knew the fate of the mountain sect was sealed. If Howard was involved, they must have crossed a line."Father, you know this man? Who is he?" The Wagg family's daughter approached with curiosity."The King of the West, Master Howard," the patriarch replied, his voice heavy with gravity."Huh!?" The gasp rippled through the Wagg family, their faces alight with awe.Master Howard's visit was nothing short of a blessing for the Waggs!An hour later, at a sect's grand courtyard nestled on the mountainside.In the grand hall of a building that whispered of ancient times, a man in his fifties, clad in a traditional suit, sat with a grimace on his

    Everyone gasped.Two coffins!"Father...help me..." Colt's feeble plea came from one coffin as he clawed his way up, bloodied.Cinnor's eyes narrowed."Get the young master out, now!" the elder with snow-white hair cried."Right away!" Two men dashed forward.Whoosh! A blade flashed toward them, a streak of death aimed at Colt's throat."No!" Cinnor's shout was too late. The blade sliced through, and a head flew, blood gushing like a geyser.Colt's body slumped in the coffin, his head tumbling after."Colt!" Cinnor's eyes blazed with unbridled rage as he let out a thunderous roar, a wave of fearsome anger surging from within him."Who's there? Show yourself!" The elder with the white hair shouted furiously.Thud! Thud! Thud!Footsteps echoed from the entrance. Howard appeared, leading a group into the room.Flanked by his members, he was accompanied by 100 Elegant Uniformed Troops, all elite members of the Shadow Sect from the northern district, ranked martial generals or

    Many of the Dark Shady Cartel's rank and file were no match for the Shadow Sect's seasoned fighters. Lacking the prowess of even a martial general, they quickly began to fall one after another under the relentless assault."You're all as good as dead!" The elder with a mane of white hair bellowed, unsheathing his sword in a swift, fluid motion that sent it slicing through the air.His presence erupted, reaching its peak in an instant—a clear testament to his cultivation base at the martial ancesto level.His sword's energy tore through the air, mercilessly carving deep gashes into the young Shadow Sect members, their blood spraying wildly."It's you who's marked for death!" Yoel's voice was a low growl as he moved, a blur in the night, his Blood Shadow Saber tracing a lethal arc of chilling brilliance."Foolish boy!" The elder's retort was icy as he pressed forward instead of back, unleashing a piercing sword thrust that screamed through the air.With a hiss, their strikes met, a

    People within the force's reach shuddered uncontrollably and backed away.As one of the top Four Experts of the Dark Shady Cartel, he was a martial emperor with unparalleled skill."Face my blade!"Cinnor's voice was like thunder as he swung his sword, creating a blur of shadows in the air. In a flash, he wove a web of sword energy so powerful it turned everything within its reach—trees, rocks—into dust, while pebbles scattered like fleeing insects. The concrete was scarred with deep, alarming gashes, and a nearby wooden building crumbled to the ground with a deafening roar.In an instant, the swirling sword energy took the form of a giant spectral blade, hurtling toward Howard with the fury of an apocalyptic storm.As it passed, the wind howled and energy surged like a tidal wave."Think your martial emperor title makes you strong?" Howard's voice was a low growl as he raised his Blood Shadow Saber. With a straightforward, powerful swing, he unleashed a crimson arc of destructio

    Howard found himself on the back foot, with no choice but to hit hard on defense.With a swift motion, Howard's wrist twisted, sending the Blood Shadow Saber slicing through the air in a dance of deadly light to counter the assault.The clash of their attacks sent a fearsome wave of energy rippling out, shaking the ground like an earthquake.In just moments, they had traded over ten blows. Each was forced to stagger back, their heavy steps carving deep marks into the earth.Howard was left with a few fresh scrapes, but they were nothing serious.Cinnor, however, was not so fortunate. Barely clinging to life before, he was riddled with ghastly gashes.He fell, his mouth gaping as blood spilled out in torrents. After a few final twitches, he was motionless."A half-step martial king?"Regaining his footing, Howard's gaze shot toward a shadowy figure standing a hundred meters away, his eyes narrowing in recognition.Draped in a green robe and masked in black and white, the slende

    "Plus, with those injuries of yours, pulling off the full might of the Blood Shadow Technique is a tall order. You're probably running at about seventy percent, tops. Am I hitting the mark?""You seem awfully clued in about me," Howard's eyes narrowed once more.The fact that she was privy to the Blood Shadow Technique caught him off-guard."Only by understanding your enemy as well as you do yourself can you emerge victorious in every battle. If I didn't have a clue, why would I dare to confront the famed King of the West?" the woman said, her lips curling into a subtle smile."Really?" Howard let out a low chuckle."Isn't it the truth?" she replied, mirroring his smile.She paused briefly before continuing, "Look, I came here today with one goal: to keep Cinnor out of your grasp. Mission accomplished, so I'll be on my way.""Oh?" Howard's eyebrow quivered as he gestured around the courtyard. "You're just going to stand by while your Dark Shady Cartel crew gets wiped out?""I'd

    "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
