Chapter 2444

Author: Marina Vittori
That night, two young men sat playing chess inside a secluded mansion in the Inner City.

On the left was Anders, who had visited the Ballard estate earlier. Across from him sat Matthias, a broad-shouldered man dressed in richly adorned robes.

The game was intense, with fast moves followed by moments of deep thought. About ten minutes later, Anders finally conceded defeat.

"Anders, you've really improved since we last played. You almost had me there," Matthias said, stroking his beard in mild surprise.

"You flatter me, Your Highness. My chess skills are nothing compared to yours. If you hadn't gone easy on me, I wouldn't have lasted half as long," Anders replied with a modest smile.

"You're as smooth with words as ever." Matthias let out a hearty laugh with a look of smug satisfaction. Winning was in his nature—whether in war or on the chessboard, defeat was not an option.

"Well, we've eaten, and we've played. Let's get to business." With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men t

    "What's going on? Why are those people moving so strangely?" one of the soldiers asked."Their eyes are glowing green, and they don't look human at all. Could they be some kind of monsters?" another asked."Stay alert, and don't let your guard down!"As the figures in the distance drew closer, the soldiers tensed up and raised their weapons.The figures moved faster with each lurching step, every movement stiff and unnatural. Within moments, they reached the checkpoint. Under the glare of the lights, the soldiers finally got a clear look, and their faces went pale."Zombies! Those are zombies!""Open fire now!"Seeing the shriveled zombies with glowing green eyes, the soldiers raised their rifles and opened fire without hesitation.The rounds hit dead-on, but the creatures didn't even flinch. Their withered bodies were tougher than steel, and the bullets couldn't penetrate.By the time the soldiers emptied an entire round, the only visible damage was to the zombies' already ta

    Eldrik burst into cackling laughter after hearing Sloan's plan. At that instant, crimson ice crystals crystallized along his freshly grown bone spurs."Excellent! What a brilliant scheme," he commented.A gleam flashed in his hollow eye sockets as he waved his hand and produced three bone tokens. He tossed them to Sloan. "Tell Gore, Venom, and Grinder to move now. Let them spread rumors simultaneously, so everyone thinks that this was the work of that terrestrial immortal," he ordered."Yes, Elder Carrion," Sloan replied. He caught the tokens and vanished from sight.…Thanks to Dustin's intervention, the scarlet mist that had terrorized countless people was finally wiped out.With the immediate threat gone, the situation in Ashen Coast began to stabilize. Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel abandoned their plans to flee and began working to contain the outbreak while calming the populace. None of them were willing to give up unless necessary.But because each prince had made d

    Nathaniel knew the white figure was strong, but he hadn't expected this level of strength. Within minutes, the figure had cleared away all the scarlet mist. Every last wisp of it was gone like it had never existed. Such supernatural ability exceeded anything he could have imagined. Witnessing it firsthand was far more shocking than any secondhand report.When the mist vanished, the white figure raised a hand, and the energy vortex quickly dissipated. Later, a crimson orb drifted down from above and settled into the figure's palm.Seeing his chance, Nathaniel channeled his true energy and shouted, "Your Excellency has used supreme divine power to clear away the deadly mist and saved our entire city from disaster. "I, Prince Nathaniel Linsor, speak for all the citizens in expressing our deepest gratitude for your life-saving grace. Might I humbly request the honor of your company so I can properly show my appreciation as your host?"This was a carefully crafted speech. First, he p

    Nothing could have made Matthias happier than what he had just witnessed. A powerhouse had cleared the deadly scarlet mist, and the city-wide crisis was resolved. He finally had hope of turning things around again.Though there would still be some minor troubles to deal with later, these could be handled through human effort. Talk about a dramatic turnaround. Just when things seemed hopeless, everything opened up again."Your Highness, the figure has left."Just as Matthias was rejoicing, the white figure in the distant sky had already streaked away like a meteor. From arrival to departure, the entire stay lasted less than ten minutes."Send someone to investigate and find out this expert's identity. If there's a chance to bring them over to our side, do it. Otherwise, don't force it. But whatever you do, don't offend them," Matthias instructed.He knew all too well that someone with that kind of strength and who could bend the forces of nature to their will wouldn't be swayed by

    The rage in Matthias's chest finally began to ease after he executed the corrupt officials.Given the current situation, Thornwick was doomed. It was only a matter of time before the scarlet mist consumed the entire city. Nothing he did would matter with his current abilities, so he figured he might as well execute a few corrupt officials to vent his frustration.Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. It sounded like a massive thunderclap, and the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly."What the hell was that?" Matthias frowned."Your Highness, something is happening outside," Neville reported as he rushed into the hall."Let's go take a look," Matthias said.Without wasting a second, he strode out the door.Looking up at the distant sky, he saw a massive energy vortex that had appeared out of nowhere. It spanned over 300 feet across and resembled a black hole, sending chills down his spine.Below the energy vortex, a lone figure hovered in midair. Matthias wa

    "Milton, who was that person just now? How could anyone possess supreme divine power?" Tristan asked.The initial shock barely lasted a second before a wave of excitement surged through him.He saw the figure wave its hand and trigger a phenomenon that defied nature itself, clearing away the scarlet mist that had blanketed miles of land. This was beyond human capability, so he thought that person should be a terrestrial immortal."It's too far away, and I can't get a clear look, Your Highness," Milton replied, his eyes still widened with barely contained shock.That figure's strength was beyond anything he'd ever imagined. It was so overwhelming that he felt as though he was witnessing something otherworldly.He never would've thought someone that powerful could be hiding in a place like Ashen Coast. Such abilities could potentially equal those of Sacred Wrym Summit's master. He believed that figure could reverse catastrophe through sheer force of will alone."Find out who it was
