Gryphon trembled and stepped back in horror. “This can’t be real. What kind of monster are you? Are you the Waitara Path’s Soremsia? Otherwise, it’s impossible…”James lifted his hand and commanded, “Rise!”The next moment, a black dragon emerged from his fingertip and transformed into a lightsaber with vibrant hues.Gryphon was stunned by the lightsaber’s mysterious and terrifying force. He exclaimed, “Impossible! It can’t be the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword! What the hell is it?”“Descend!” James gently traced two fingers in the air.The lightsaber spun rapidly, and more emerged from it to clash with the mountains, plants, and beings. Consecutive explosions ensued, causing Gryphon to cough up blood until the lightsaber destroyed everything.The chaos around James instantly subsided.James and Gryphon appeared in the void again. However, a lightsaber hovered above Gryphon’s head. Gryphon’s face was pale, his body battered and bloody.Marius and Taichu observed from the ruins, g
James frowned upon hearing Marius’ plea.Gryphon, on the other hand, smiled at James. “You’re very powerful, young man. I underestimated you. However, I doubt you can kill me.”James commanded coldly, “Kneel.”Gryphon could not believe his ears.James threaded two fingers in the void, and the lightsaber hovering above Gryphon’s head descended and emitted an intense force, causing Gryphon’s knees to bend.Gryphon chucked wildly and slowly straightened his legs, forcefully resisting the oppressive force.James roared, “Kneel!”The lightsaber emitted an even more potent force. Gryphon slammed to the ground but showed no signs of surrender and attempted to stand again.Seeing that James was not about to stop, Marius shouted, “Don’t do it, Master! He is the Wyrmscale Source’s progenitor. If he dies, it’ll be over for us…”James ignored his pleas and waved his hand in the air again. The lightsaber pierced through Gryphon’s body, causing blood to splatter.Under James’ command, the
“You’re right. With how kind Thea is, she’d ask me to stop,” James agreed, then waved his arm, and a mysterious force shot out to open the Gate of Anonymous.Two giant dragons emerged from it, wrapped around Gryphon’s skeleton, and dragged it into the gate. Shortly after, they collectively disappeared.James was not showing mercy but simply felt the time to kill him had not come. He appeared before Marius and Taichi, squinted and asked, “Gorger?Marius nodded and answered, “Yes, Master…”James interrupted, “Is it your Soremsia or your true form?” Marius smiled bitterly and said, “Wyrmscale Beings don’t have Soremsias. I merely went down there to train myself.”James reached out and helped Marius up from the ground. He was relieved that Gorger was not a Soremsia but the same entity that had evolved.He felt a stronger connection than when he discovered Xanthakos was Emperor Jabari and Franciscus. His emotions were incomparable at the moment.Marius hurriedly pointed to Taichu a
Taichu whispered to Marius, “Why aren’t they coming over? Do they want to die?”Marius knew how bad the situation was, but before he could say anything, James unleashed a lightsaber and pierced the body of one of the Spiritual Saints.Boom!The Spiritual Saint exploded, and his flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The other Spiritual Saints watched the gruesome scene in fear.Marius shouted, “He asked you to come over! Do you all want to die?”Terrified, the seven remaining Spiritual Saints rushed over through blood rain.“Please spare us! We were ignorant and blind to not recognize your power.”“We made a mistake! We acknowledge your strength.” “I am willing to serve you and follow your orders without hesitation.”“We were fools. Please spare our lives! We’ll serve you faithfully from now onward.”The Spiritual Saints knelt and bowed, begging James for mercy.Their previous arrogance and sense of superiority were completely gone. Now, they were acting like the ants they
Taichu, on the other hand, laughed out loud. “I pity you to be in charge of these fools. They are the Wyrmscale Source’s Spiritual Saints. Yet, they are so spineless. Even so, you still want to protect them?”Upon hearing her ridicule, Marius covered his eyes.James, on the other hand, calmly split the Wyrmscale Token into two halves.A dazzling light immediately burst from it, causing the entire place to shake. The wails from Wyrmscale Beings resounded around them.The Spiritual Saints ceased their attacks on Aether and turned to James in fear.Marius looked at him in shock and asked, “Why did you destroy the Wrymscale Token, Master? Emperor Tapia refined it with spiritual essence, holding supreme status in the Wrymscale Source.”James squinted and asked, “If it is that important, how are there subordinates that refuse its command? It’s truly eye-opening.”After speaking, he lifted a broken half and crushed it into ashes.The Wyrmscale Source’s ruins trembled violently and col
“Ja… I mean, Your Holiness,” Taichu looked at James and said, “Do you not know how grave of a disaster the Greater Realms will face after the Wyrmscale Source is destroyed?”Her interrogative stance immediately dissipated, and her attitude shifted to that of a little girl tentatively asking questions.“I…I’m just worried about the Greater Realms’ living beings. After all, you’re their lord now. I…”Before she could finish, a massive explosion occurred in the void. A spiritual rain ensued and covered the Wrymscale Source’s lands. Those that were showered by it instantly felt refreshed and energetic.“Huh?” Taichu raised her head and faced the rain, gently spinning around on the spot.Emperor Zdravko also instantly felt an increase in her strength and soul. It felt as if they were purified and blessed by the spiritual rain.Simultaneously, the surrounding terrain began to restore to its original state. The Spiritual Saint’s Primordial Spirits were also revived and emerged from th
James gestured, summoning a projection before the assembled group. The Marauder Warriors emerged, draped in dark crimson armor, each meticulously arranged in a formation. Banners soared high, announcing their presence with a silent proclamation. Their aura emanated formidable military prowess, casting a shadow upon all who beheld them.Dorvus and the gods of the Four Seasons stood in the forefront of the imposing army, their presence commanding respect.Witnessing this spectacle, Mantian furrowed his brow and asked, “That’s Xanthakos’ Marauder Army. Are they plotting an assault on the Wyrmscale Source?”James folded his hand behind his back and answered, “No. They answer to my command now.”At his declaration, a collective gasp swept through the divine assembly.Taichu looked at James in disbelief and asked, “Did…did you submit to Xanthakos?”James stared at her and questioned, “Submit? What do you think, Ms. Taichu?”Marius scoffed at Taichu’s question, “Absurd! Xanthakos isn
James gestured abruptly, “If there aren’t any more objections, please proceed.”The Spiritual Saints exchanged glances, then dispersed.Taichu, who had remained reserved, finally voiced the question on everyone’s mind. “With the rebirth of the Wyrmscale Source, your forces have improved dramatically. Wouldn’t it be more advantageous for you to remain neutral and allow them to fight before deciding which side to support?“But you’ve already sided with Xanthakos against Goyo and will use the Wyrmscale Source’s forces to exhaust them. By then…”James urged, “Yeah?”Taichu pouted, “You would end up nothing but a pawn in someone else’s game!”“Watch your mouth!” Marius intervened and dragged Taichu away. He smiled and said, “Master has his reasons. I doubt anyone can surpass him in terms of wisdom and strategy.”“You sycophant! All you do is flatter our master and provide no substantial help!”Marius protested, “I was just saying…”James interrupted, “Enough! You should meet Dorv
