Azel clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles popped, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.Gideon and Orabella walked farther and farther away.In the end, Azel didn't act recklessly. He had no choice but to lead his army in retreat.Seeing this, the dukes of Tylland also had no choice but to temporarily withdraw and reconsider their strategy.…Back at the mayor's mansion, Gideon tended to Martin's injuries.An hour later, Martin's condition finally stabilized, showing clear signs of improvement."Mr. Snow, thank you for saving my life. I have nothing to offer in return, but I swear my loyalty to you! I only hope you won't turn me away."Martin was a smart man. Gideon's sheer strength had left him in shock. He was so young and yet already at this level. His future was limitless.Moreover, Siward had been dropping hints along the way, revealing bits of information. Martin had grown increasingly intrigued by this mysterious, monstrous force of nature known as Gideon.
At that moment, an emergency meeting was being held.After receiving the secret message from Gideon, all the Cabinet Elders wore grim expressions. There was a mix of both shock and anger.The shock came from the sheer audacity of The Light Council, who actually planned to attack the border of the northern wilderness. The anger came from their blatant provocation of Dasovia!"Bastards!" Casse, who had a fiery temper, couldn't hold back. He slammed the table and cursed loudly, "That scum from The Light Council is asking for death! I propose we strike first and declare war on them!"Immediately, some of the Cabinet Elders voiced their agreement.However, Rocco said, "The Light Council isn't some small faction. It's the world's most mysterious and powerful force. You could even say it's an entire nation of its own."Lark nodded in agreement. "He's right. The Light Council's strength rivals that of any nation. They have countless powerful individuals, millions of troops, and high-tech
"Ms. Mosley, are you sure about this?" Odin asked cautiously. "Using the Falcon missiles requires authorization from the Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense. If we use it without approval, I'm afraid…""There's no time!" Lavinia was resolute.Her gaze was sharp, and her voice was as firm as iron. "A foreign aircraft is forcing its way through our borders. If we don't intercept it, where will we put our dignity?"Today, it's one aircraft breaking through. Tomorrow, it'll be ten. The day after, a hundred! Are we going to let ourselves become an international joke?"We must intercept this aircraft no matter what. We'll first give out a warning. If it refuses to back down, then we'll use the Falcon missiles. Don't hesitate. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!"With her words set in stone, no one dared to object. The outer-base forces were alerted immediately. All three Falcon missiles were primed and ready, waiting for the aircraft's arrival.Ten minutes later, rig
Lavinia threw a punch, but it failed to disperse the streak of light. Instead, the impact sent her plummeting back onto the city gate, her entire body wracked with pain.Just like that, the aircraft hatch closed.The one who made the move wasn't Gideon, nor was it Umbra or the others. It was Orabella."Sorry. She was too noisy. It's annoying." Orabella chuckled.Gideon remained resting with his eyes shut, as if none of it had anything to do with him.Lavinia, however, gritted her teeth. In that brief moment, she had caught a glimpse of the attacker's figure. It wasn't a man—it was a woman!Judging by her appearance, she wasn't very old. Yet, her strength was terrifyingly powerful.That left Lavinia deeply unwilling to accept defeat."Ms. Mosley! We have a response. The Cabinet has approved their passage. No one is to obstruct them."The quick reply surprised Lavinia. That, in itself, was proof that whoever was on that aircraft carried significant weight.Odin reassured her, "
During this time, Qyra and Arabella had grown very close, even becoming like sisters. Arabella was worried that Gideon wouldn't show up, so before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Qyra to make sure he followed after her."Don't worry. I won't go back on my word," Gideon reassured Qyra. He was also eager to see the prodigies from the various royal families.He turned around and said, "Looks like our trip to the Spirale Clan will have to wait."Umbra smiled. "I'm in no rush."Winter was also on Beaker Island.Gideon said, "Originally, we were planning to go to the Spirale Clan to save your sister. Now, we'll have to delay it for a few days. I hope you understand."Winter had a head full of silver hair. Previously, she had transferred her pure essence to Gideon, which had left her extremely weak and greatly diminished her strength. This made Gideon feel distressed."Trust me. I'll definitely be able to save your sister," he said softly as he hugged Winter."I'm going to the Foxhal
"Your Grace, the Nevitt royal family and the Savoy royal family have arrived."As soon as the words fell, a flock of fierce flying beasts came soaring from the distant horizon, accompanied by a chorus of piercing cries.Keagan and the others stepped out of the grand hall.Someone laughed and said, "Apologies, everyone. We were delayed on the way. But we made it just in time, didn't we?"The speaker was an elder dressed in an opulent long robe. It was none other than Edgar Nevitt, the grand elder of the Nevitt royal family. His status was extremely high, and his strength was nothing to scoff at.Behind him stood a group of young men and women, each exuding an extraordinary presence. Their energy was as deep and vast as an abyss. These were the elites of the Nevitt royal family.On the other side, the Savoy royal family's prodigies stood just as impressively. Leading them was a middle-aged man whom everyone recognized as Bartholomew Savoy's younger brother, Percival Savoy."Perc,
The Foxhall royal family's ancestral grounds were impressively built. Pavilions, towers, gardens, and courtyards blended seamlessly into the natural landscape, making every step a picturesque scene.With the mountains and rivers as their foundation, the place exuded an otherworldly presence. Auspicious beasts were also kept within the grounds.In the sky, white cranes frequently soared through drifting mist, making the entire scene look like a celestial paradise."Mr. Snow, we just visited the area where the beasts are raised. Next, let me take you to the resource grounds where we cultivate precious herbs.""Oh?" Gideon's eyes lit up.Arabella smiled. "If you can help my family achieve a good ranking in the martial arts tournament, I will let you pick three herbs from our resource grounds.""Just three?" Winter frowned.Arabella replied, "Ms. Winter, you'll understand once you see it for yourself. Our resource grounds contain many high-quality herbs. Some of them are even half-m
Oasis Vale was isolated from the rest of the world. Few knew that in this peaceful valley lived a group of extraordinary people, including the overlords of the criminal underworld, business magnates with net worths that rivaled countries, and even core government officials of various countries.It was noon, and Gideon Snow walked out of the cottage with a basket in hand."Sir!"Ajax Bale, a burly, heavily bearded man, scrambled up to Gideon as he herded the goats around him. "As per your punishment, I have tended to the goats for a month. Today is the last day. What should I do next?""You can start harvesting the wheat next.""That's my job, sir! What am I supposed to do if Ajax takes over?" Donald Ingleson, Cherony's minister of defense, asked with a pitiful expression."You can be in charge of cleaning up the dung.""You got it, sir."Gideon had only taken a few more steps when someone approached him and reported, "Sir! Justin Mugler, the military commander of Magaria, and P

He had no choice but to lead his army in retreat.Seeing this, the dukes of Tylland also had no choice but to temporarily withdraw and reconsider their strategy.…Back at the mayor's mansion, Gideon tended to Martin's injuries.An hour later, Martin's condition finally stabilized, showing clear signs of improvement."Mr. Snow, thank you for saving my life. I have nothing to offer in return, but I swear my loyalty to you! I only hope you won't turn me away."Martin was a smart man. Gideon's sheer strength had left him in shock. He was so young and yet already at this level. His future was limitless.Moreover, Siward had been dropping hints along the way, revealing bits of information. Martin had grown increasingly intrigued by this mysterious, monstrous force of nature known as Gideon.
From Azel's current energy alone, it was clear that he was far stronger than before. He was qualified to be Gideon's opponent."Come on." Gideon's eyes flashed like lightning. His body tensed, his energy surging higher and higher.His energy was unlike Azel's. Azel's energy was cold and sinister, but Gideon's energy was blazing hot, causing the temperature to skyrocket. It was fire and ice.Their opposing energies clashed, generating literal sparks in the air, like something out of a movie. The spectacle was breathtaking."Stop!"At the last possible moment, Orabella descended. The scepter in her hand flared with radiant light as she swung it, slicing through the two clashing forces and separating them."Huh?" Azel, drowning in bloodlust, snapped back to reality. "Ms. Corthopp, what are you doing here?""Mr. Malemayn, first of all, congratulations on mastering the Slaughtering Arts! Secondly, pull back immediately. You know the side effects of that technique. If you two fight, t
Gideon spoke with such calm indifference that it made Azel seethe with rage. It was blatant, undisguised contempt."Who the hell are you?" Azel asked."Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, how do we settle this?"As Gideon stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face was as still as a deep lake. He spoke evenly, word by word, "How about this? Since you left Martin gravely injured, I'll do the same to you. Then, we'll call it even."Hearing this, Azel was so enraged that he laughed. "You're too arrogant! I didn't expect that besides Martin, his superior would show up, too."That's even better. I'll take you both down together and save myself the trouble.""Then, there's nothing more left to say."As soon as Gideon finished speaking, he began walking toward Azel like an ordinary man taking a casual stroll. It was another act of disdain."You're courting death!" Azel grabbed his spear and charged, leaping into the air before slamming down with full force.The air i
