“Surprise, surprise!” Lesia announced.James curled his lips as he took in the shocked expression on Xanthakos’ face. “Do you still want to keep up with the act?” Beside him, Lesia smiled enigmatically as well. “You!” Xanthakos glared at Lesia. “Alas, you decided to complicate things! There I was thinking you’d be smarter than this!”Lesia replied flatly, “On the other hand, it was exactly because you were so clever that you were blinded by greed.” Xanthakos threw his head back and laughed scornfully upon hearing her words. As the cynical smile on his face disappeared, Xanthakos stopped laughing and asked, “Frona, didnʼt those incidents happen just as I told James earlier? “Without my help, could a mere human like him ever be able to amount to what he is now?” Lesia sighed and looked at James. “Do you believe the things he said?” James shrugged. “He was telling the truth. I didn’t detect any signs of illusion during our conversation. So, I think his statement isnʼt fals
“Frona!” Xanthakos called out in a shaky voice, “Do you sincerely not have any impure intentions?! “You, one of the Nine Caeloros Gods, were willing to come all the way to the Haleth Realm? You even approached James Caden as a bell spirit and willingly became his second body. “What are your real motives? Wasnʼt it because you wanted to control him and make him your slave?” A small frown creased James’ forehead. Meanwhile, Lesia heaved a deep breath. “You won’t be able to damage the trust between me and my master by saying that. “We are connected mentally and spiritually. Moreover, we are even willing to die for the other person.” “Hahaha! You're willing to die for the other person?!” Xanthakos laughed hysterically. “Did you hear that, James Caden? She couldnʼt, and she wouldnʼt dare give you a straightforward answer!“Let me tell you why! She herself wasnʼt sure whether you were the Waitara Pathʼs reincarnated Soremsia or not! “On the surface, she’s following you everywh
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! As James’ sword form spun in the air, he unleashed a tremendous amount of sword energy and formed a huge sphere around him. In an instant, the Bohnwer Lights moving into the range of Jamesʼ attack were obliterated. “You’ve mastered Zemraʼs skills, and you can wield the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword skillfully. I’ve truly underestimated you previously. However, you’re being a little naive if you think you can save them by doing this.” As soon as Xanthakos said that, the severed Bohnwer Lights seemed to come to life as they grew and extended almost instantaneously. This time, the strands of Bohnwer Lights did not try to aim for James’ sword energy. Instead, they spread out and moved around the sword energy, shooting toward Thea and Morgott at lightning speed. On the other hand, Thea and Morgott were alarmed as they could see the Bohnwer Lights moving toward them even from the edge of the Fortieth Heaven. Instead of backing away, Thea stepped forwar
Thea halted and glanced over her shoulder. To her surprise, Morgott got down on his knees. She gasped, “Why are you…” “You and James saved my life. I sincerely see James as my friend as well.” Morgott continued, “In a dangerous situation like this, I should be the one to step up and battle, not you. “James is sacrificing himself not to buy time for me to leave. Instead, he is doing it for you, for all beings, and the Great Historial Land. “If you stayed behind, James would not be able to focus on having a full-on battle with Xanthakos. We’d lose and let all our efforts go to waste. “James is the leader of all living beings. He has many good friends and comrades. He also has the responsibility of protecting the living beings. “Therefore, we canʼt let Xanthakos and his men get their way. There needs to be a force that’ll keep those men wary and on their toes.” Thea was momentarily stunned after listening to Morgottʼs heartfelt words. She never thought the newly recombined M
James was touched by Morgottʼs actions since he knew what it meant for Morgott to help Thea escape. The news of Thea getting to safety gave James a great sense of relief as well. “Xanthakos!” Morgott bellowed, “I’m back! The last time we met was millions of entrapochs ago, right? Prepare to die!” Xanthakos was still in a seated position with the Gate of Mystery found just a few steps behind him. The man opened his eyes and grinned maliciously. “Emperor Kaelisar, what makes you think you can succeed this time?” “We have me and James on our side.” Morgott jutted his chin out. “Sadly, you’re on your own.” Xanthakos dissolved into laughter upon hearing those remarks. “Your powers combined amount to almost nothing… Huh?” Before he could finish, Xanthakos spotted James spreading his arms out. In the blink of an eye, countless balls of sword light were cast outward. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! There were sounds of objects cutting through the air as those balls of sword light
“I’ve been waiting here for quite some time.” A monotonous voice came from her right just then. Thea swiftly turned around and saw a person in the distance. To her surprise, a gorgeous and curvaceous lady was staring at her with an intense gaze. “Lyla?” Theaʼs brows arched. “You got it wrong. I’m not Lyla.” The lady responded expressionlessly, “I am Yiulia Zdravko, one of the Five Path Emperors from the Forty-Ninth Heaven.” Thea subconsciously dropped her jaw. ‘Lyla and Emperor Zdravko… The two of them look so alike. It’s as if they are the same person. Is this just a coincidence?’ Thea wondered. “Yin governor…” Yiulia called out frigidly, “Oh, no. You are still incomplete. I should call you Thea instead. “For old time’s sake, Iʼll help pass on the message to him. So, do you have any last words for him?” Thea narrowed her eyes. “Youʼre Emperor Zdravko, and youʼre also Lyla…” “Donʼt mention that name again!” Yiulia raised her voice. “I’m Yiulia.” Without any warning,
As Thea gazed at Yiulia, an intrigued expression flickered across her beautiful face.She was fascinated that despite Yiulia being a Path Emperor and manifesting a Soremsia, she appeared pretty naive and innocent. It seemed as if she hardly experienced the dangers of the world. Someone like her could not possibly be too bad.As the two beautiful women stood at a stalemate, an explosion suddenly erupted from the Wuinfinite Formation beneath them, causing the void the tremble violently.Yiulia stabilized herself and lowered her gaze to observe the situation only for her face to darken instantly. “You left him to face Emperor Qadeer’s Light of Mustery and Wuifinite Formation alone. Do you truly care for him?”“Do I have to answer?” Thea retorted.Yuilia aimed her Sword Light straight at Thea’s throat and asked, “You’re ashamed to answer?”Thea said calmly, “Deep down, you know the truth, yet you refuse to admit it. You’ve never been able to face our relationship. In fact, you don’t
James looked at Morgott with a frown and asked, “What happened to you?”Morgott licked his lips and answered, “I got a little hungry and ate a few Path Emperors. The good news is we can work together now. We might have a chance.”James smiled calmly and disagreed, “He’s not an easy opponent. It’s impossible to predict how many Supernatural Powers he has. Moreover, he is really fast. You’ve never cultivated the Martial Path, so you must be careful.”Morgott laughed and jabbed his spear into the void. Following his movement, numerous phantom spears emerged and darted toward Emperor Qadeer.James quickly seized the opportunity. He hopped onto one of the phantom shadows and charged toward Emperor Qadeer with a sword in his hand.Emperor Qadeer snorted, flipped his palm, and unleashed a wave of Wuia Power, which manifested into violent whirlwinds.James quickly cast the Terrastride Step and sealed the surrounding space. Then, stepping on the whirlwinds, he swiftly approached Emperor Q
