“This is amazing!”Xavion clenched his fists excitedly. “I was worried that you wouldn’t have the strength to survive nine strikes of the heavenly thunder. Your strength has significantly grown since you’ve entered the Mammet realm. Your chances of succeeding in the Thunder Trials will be substantially higher.“Tyr, the spot where the Torment Manu will be born has been determined. It should happen within a day or two. We need to get there as quickly as possible since those folks from the fake Shrine have departed.”“Really?” Tyr’s eyes lit up happily. “Where is it?”“The Windless Peaks! It’s about six hundred kilometers away from here.”“Okay. Let’s go back to Eimross City to rest for tonight. We can rush to the Windless Peaks by tomorrow morning.”“Okay.”The group returned to Eimross City and rested at the Marshal Manor for the night. They had packed their belongings at first light the following morning and soon hurried in the direction of the Windless Peaks.They could trave
In an instant, the atmosphere became very tense. Even Tyr became incredibly serious when he looked at the priestess.“So, even if Tyr is your son, do you still have to stand on Ulricus’ side?” A hint of anger was detected in Xavion’s question.He chided, “Aunt Lydia, I thought you came here today to recognize your son. I didn’t expect you to come here to take the magic books from him. Do you know why Tyr came here? Are you aware of what kind of mission and responsibility he has on him?“The outside world is about to fall into chaos. If Tyr cannot break through the God realm, everyone in the outside world will suffer, including your husband, your father, and all of your relatives.”Xavion became more and more agitated as he spoke. He even clenched his fists so tight that they cracked. “Aunt Lydia, since you have recovered your memories, why are you still helping Ulricus? You know that guy is not a God, but a devil. He resurrected you for the sake of his personal agenda. He’s using y
“Tyr, you have to believe me,” Lydia took a deep breath and said in a very serious and grave tone. “Only by handing me the books will you be able to successfully enter the God realm. There isn’t much time left.”Tyr turned his head and glanced at Xavion. His cousin responded with a shake of his head. Tyr then turned to face Magus, and Max stood next to him. The two remained silent, but Tyr could tell by the looks on their faces that they disagreed with handing Lydia the books.However, in his heart, Tyr was hesitant.According to the norm, even though Tyr wasn’t Ulricus’ opponent, he should keep the books. He could try his best to fight his opponent, and perhaps a miracle will happen. Tyr had performed far too many miracles throughout his journey.Perhaps it was due to the trust he had in his mother that the idea of handing over the books to Lydia had emerged in Tyr’s heart.Even Magus and Xavion, who were prepared to engage in combat at any time, were waiting for Tyr’s final choi
“I have killed him,” the priestess replied.“Really?” Ulricus, who stood in the center of the altar, suddenly moved in front of Lydia and squeezed her chin. “Are you sure you have killed him?”Lydia was slightly stunned but she showed no emotion on her face, “Yes, Master.”“Hmm.” Ulricus nodded gently, but his eyes still wandered around Lydia’s body. A drop of cold sweat secretly appeared on the back of Lydia’s neck.The dark clouds had engulfed the initially clear sky. As everyone ran toward the Windless Peak, the dark clouds were visible with the naked eye. Gargamel was overjoyed when he saw this scene. “Master, dark clouds are gathering in the sky! The Torment Manuscript is about to be born!”Ulricus’s expression turned solemn. He no longer paid attention to Lydia. Instead, he turned around abruptly and flew to the center of the altar.“Corpses of the five elements! Return to where you belong now!” A brilliant green glow spread all over Ulricus’s body as soon as the voice fa
Tyr focused his full attention on Ulricus, who was passing the trial. Meanwhile, the impact of every strike that Ulricus had passed constantly evolved in his mind.The first five heavenly lightning that struck did not pose much threat to Ulricus. If Tyr was in his place, he was worried that from the fourth strike onward, he would be badly wounded.As for the rest of the strikes that followed, each strike would be much more powerful than before. Given Tyr’s current abilities, he couldn’t survive the Thunder Trials at all. After all, Ulricus had been in the Mammet realm for more than 200 years. Tyr, who had only recently reached the Mammet realm, was far behind him.Ulricus had passed the eighth lightning strike. His body was suspended in the air and was bathed in the green light.Roar! Roar! Roar! He continued to let out furious roars. Instantly, the five who sat cross-legged on the five stone platforms flew toward Ulricus.The five of them gathered together as if they had become
“Master!” Gargamel and the others who stood on the ground were also stunned when they saw this scene. Then he yelled, “Priestess, how could you betray our Master?”“What’s going on?” Xavion, Magus, and the others were all taken aback.Out of five pillars of light, one of the pillars suddenly extinguished in the void. Lydia’s body was suspended in the air. Countless bright red blood stains appeared on her white dress.“No!”“No!”“Don’t… ”At the same time, Ulricus, Gargamel, and Tyr all shouted concurrently. Lydia had chosen to destroy herself at a critical moment when Ulricus was about to become a God.“Don’t do it!” Seeing that several rays of light had shot out from Lydia’s body. Ulricus’ pupils were written with fear as he exclaimed, “Priestess, you have betrayed me!”“I’m sorry, Master. He is my son and he’s in charge of saving the world. I must help him to become a God. You once said that you want to coexist with me after becoming a God. We can’t coexist anymore, but we c
Magus, Xavion, and Max were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. The trio quickly retreated to somewhere safe.The hill which Tyr stood had been completely destroyed by the first heavenly lightning. The power was many times more terrifying than Ulricus’ Thunder Trials.“What the hell? Tyr’s weaker than Ulricus, but his Thunder Trials are much more powerful! How is he going to endure this?”Everyone clearly looked worried. The first heavenly lightning had such terrifying strength, not to mention that the next eight lightning strikes would increase in power. Will Tyr be able to survive? The hills had vanished along with the strike, and the spot was filled with smoke and gravel. Just then, the second heavenly lightning began to gather in the sky. Tyr was hit head-on by the bolt of lightning. From the looks of it, his trial wouldn’t be as easy as Ulricus’s.When Ulricus had his trial earlier, the first few heavenly lightning did not pose much threat to him. Yet, Tyr found it challen
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!” Cicero waved his hand repeatedly. He didn’t expect his nickname to be widespread in Dragun Squad. Even the almighty Demigods like Magus knew his name.Cicero rebuked, “My name is Cicero Julus! I’m not a horny cat!”Magus sized Cicero from the head to toe, a number of questions popping up in his mind.He couldn’t help but ask, “Dude, I heard that you were invited by the squad to explore Emperor Martyn’s royal tomb with Tyr in the past. After that, you shattered the void with a million of clay soldiers inside the royal tomb. Why would you suddenly show up here? According to Tyr, you are most likely to be the reincarnation of Emperor Martyn. By right, you have ascended to the heavenly realm under the escort of the clay soldiers.”“F*ck the heavenly realm!” Cicero cursed loudly. He stared at Tyr, who was waiting for the ninth lightning to strike, and explained, “I’ve broken through the void for the sake of that guy!”“What do you mean?” Magus and Xavion were startl
