Rebella was completely baffled. At that moment, she felt unworthy of even being a listener in the presence of these two brilliant minds. The complexity and the schemes at play were overwhelming, sending tingles through her scalp.Xezal remained silent, responding to everything with silence.With a muffled sound, James grabbed Xezal’s collar and pulled her up.“Is it Silver, Yegor, Lady Herodias, or someone else?” Xezal remained silent despite James’ murderous look.Standing nearby, Rebella was extremely nervous, fearing that James might kill Xezal in a fit of anger.At that moment, a mysterious spatial fluctuation occurred again. In the next instant, Thea appeared.She reached out and grabbed James’ wrist. “There is more than one person who is devotedly loyal to you and capable of causing trouble and getting things done.“For those smart people, you can’t stop them if they are willing to speak. If they are not, killing them won’t help.”Upon hearing this, James furrowed his b
“‘Wyot is a worthless man,’” Yemima sneered with anger. “‘The dignified leader of the Doom Race follows your every word without a trace of manly spirit or pride. He is entirely unfit to lead the race.’”“So!” Xezal finally spoke. “You’re pregnant with another man’s child, and Wyot doesn’t know.”“Hahahaha!” Yemima suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. “The child in my belly is no ordinary child. Even compared to James’ two Hongrome Children, his status and position are far superior.”At these words, Xezal, James, and Thea displayed strange expressions.At that moment, Yemima moved away from James, Xezal, and Thea, laughing angrily in a nearly threatening manner.“Do you know who the child in my belly is? He is the reincarnation of Waitara Path.“I have re-conceived the Supreme Path, so when this child is born, I will be the Mother of the Supreme Path.“By then, whether it is the Jademora Empire, the myriad realms, or Emperor Caden, all will kneel at my feet and submit.”Saying
Suddenly, Yemima grotesquely distorted, writhing in extreme agony as if suffering endless torment. Her earlier laughter turned into hysterical screams.Witnessing this, James extended his hand, channeling a continuous stream of dense and holy path source into the light orb. The orb buzzed sharply, lifted into the air, and began spinning rapidly counterclockwise.Inside, Yemima’s face rapidly shifted between her own, a fox’s, and an unfamiliar woman’s, growing increasingly vicious and cruel.“She’s absorbing your path source,” Thea exclaimed in shock. “What’s happening?”James realized this too and tried to retract his hand, but an unseen force held it in place.Seeing this, Thea immediately sent two streams of sacred Hongrome Aura into the light orb. With a loud explosion, the orb containing Yemima was blasted away. At that moment, James quickly withdrew his hand, only to find a dark swastika symbol marked on his palm.“Are you okay?” Thea asked with concern.James stared at the
James and Thea stared intently at the sealed energy ball hovering in the air.Meanwhile, Xezal and Rebella wore blank expressions as they stared in the same direction, as if petrified.After a moment, James grasped the sealed energy ball and took a deep breath.“You wanted to save her but ended up helping that wench,” Thea said, her dissatisfaction evident.James lowered his head and sighed. “I just wanted to know why.”“Fine. If that’s what you say…” Thea turned and looked him in the eye. “Is the guilt eating away at you, then? Do you feel sorry for her?”James remained silent.Thea fixed her gaze on him. A few seconds later, she extended her hand.“...Huh?” James was confused.“Give it to me,” Thea said coldly. “Let me handle it if you meant every word you said.”James paused briefly. “We need to put this inside the Caeloros Supreme Scepter. We can’t leave it unattended in the Haleth Realm…”“Give me the Caeloros Supreme Scepter too, then.” Thea cut him off. “Power-wise, I
Rebella stared at James, her eyes dazed. “I… I’m so confused!” “It’s alright,” James chuckled. “Just follow my instructions. You’ll have to take some risks, but eventually, you’ll understand why I’ve asked you to do these things.” Rebella blinked. “Um… What about Truett and the other War Kings?” “Keep this from the War Kings for now,” James continued. “As for Truett, he’s not the right person for the Grand Steward’s position if he can’t see through a simple trick like this.” Rebella sighed and lowered her gaze. “I guess I’m the only fool in the group who doesn’t have the slightest clue!” “No.” Xezal turned her eyes to Rebella. “There’s also Wyot and Clayton.” Rebella was struck speechless. James clasped his hands behind his back. “You two will need enough power and skills to complete your upcoming missions.” He lifted one hand and cast two beams of path source, shining with sacred light, into Xezal’s and Rebella’s bodies. The two ladies shuddered slightly before a
“You're missing the point here. Anyway, let me teach you a few tricks first. Otherwise, he'll keep calling me the bad guy.”Xezal grabbed Rebella's arm and pulled her along. The two of them headed toward a corner where the path source’s concentration was the highest.Meanwhile, Lesia stood at the peak of a mountain within the Great Historial Land’s Forbidden Bloodshade. Her long hair swayed slightly in the breeze.Behind her, a man wearing a white robe with white hair waited silently and patiently for her to speak.“Are you done talking?” Lesia finally broke the silence.The white-haired man gave a slight nod. “Yes.”“An impostor.” Lesia snickered. “Of all people, he decided to impersonate my master? Isn't he just asking to be caught?”“Uh…” The man was unsure how to respond.“Why do you think Master has tolerated the impostor’s actions?” Lesia asked.The white-haired man shook his head. “James always has his reasons for doing things a certain way. Sometimes, even I can’t…”“
In the Dark World, a sphere of blood-red, murderous energy soared from a distance, halting near the entrance to the Yin's Void.From this ball of energy emerged a tall, handsome man in a black robe.A tremendous amount of murderous energy radiated from both the man and his sword.It was Jacopo, who had come on a secret mission from James, executing an intricate plan in the Yin's Void.His arrival sparked panic in the area. The creatures guarding the Yin's Void entrance were thrown into chaos."It's him! It's the demon! He's here again!""Is... Is he not finished with us? Does he enjoy killing that much?""Someone inform the Four Symbols that the demon has returned!""Strengthen the formation's bases and increase defense levels! Send reinforcements immediately!""His... His murderous energy seems stronger than before! What kind of demon are we facing?!"Amid the chaos within and around the formation surrounding the Yin's Void, Jacopo pulled out a bottle of liquor and took enor
Those four beasts opened their mouths and unleashed a barrage of attacks. In a flash, assaults of ice, fire, lightning, sound, and curses were directed at Jacopo.Jacopo’s blood-red eyes glinted as he lifted his head.He performed the Dawnblaze Form, conjuring four shadow clones armed with swords. These clones stepped on the beasts’ attacks and sprinted toward the four monstrous creatures.In that instant, a murderous blood-red energy permeated the space around the gigantic palace.Simultaneously, the shadow clones merged with their swords, forming four spheres of blood-red sword light.In the blink of an eye, each sphere pierced through one of the enormous beasts’ bodies.Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!The beasts’ bodies exploded in midair.From the first explosion, a beam of green light emerged from the mist of blood and flesh.The beam landed on the ground and transformed into a middle-aged man with horns, dressed in a green robe. He fell to one knee, coughing up blood.Another b
