Felix said, "Don't worry, they won't dare chase us." They surely knew it was Felix who raided Crimson Oak Prison, and only those tired of living would pursue him. Felix and Elliott took the same smuggling route Luna had arranged to bring Helena back to Dragonia. Days later, Xena waited with a force similar to Helena's arrival at a Dragonian port. The area was under martial law, which showed how seriously they took Elliott's experimental data involving the Phantoms. It was their highest priority now. "This is Xena, our Phoenix Warlord. Everything's been arranged," Felix explained.After exchanging greetings, Elliott hugged Felix. "Thank you, Dr. Zeller. You changed my fate." While watching Elliott drive away, Felix noticed Xena's hesitation and spoke first. "Go ahead and tell me. It's not like I ever catch a break anyway." Xena looked embarrassed. "Headquarters has a mission, but you just returned. I thought about declining it." For over three years, Felix had devoted himse

Felix had never imagined running into Gerald on the street after all these years. Finally, he had a chance to properly discuss Eloise's situation. This encounter felt so unreal that he had rushed out of the cab without thinking. But when the person turned around slowly, his eyes were filled with confusion. "Who are you?" he asked.Felix stood dumbfounded, at a loss for words. From the cab, the man's side profile and the way he walked matched Gerald exactly. They even shared the same clean-cut hairstyle.But upon seeing his full face now, Felix realized his mistake. The man merely resembled Gerald. "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else." The old man said nothing and walked on. Felix hailed another cab and left. Less than a minute after Felix departed, a burly middle-aged man fell into step beside the old man. "My lord." Without breaking stride, the Ancient Sage spoke. "Did you hear that young man call me Mr. Hoffman?" "Yes. What would you have me do?" The Ancient Sage

Felix felt relieved that Zion had this kind of attitude. Otherwise, he would have been worried about being questioned. When they first met, Felix had already sensed that Zion was a master of the Transcendent Realm, proving that the Warlock family was far from ordinary."Sir, I have a question for you," Felix said. He had wanted to meet Zion for a long time but never had the time or opportunity. Now that they had crossed paths, he was not going to miss the chance."Go ahead," Zion replied."Do you remember when Ronan and Melissa first met and we spoke on the phone?" Felix asked.Zion nodded. "Of course, I remember. It's been over three years, but I'm not that old to start forgetting things like that."Since Zion still remembered, Felix decided to get straight to the point. He said, "Back then, when you found out my mentor was the miracle doctor, you referred to him as the Ancient Sage. Is that correct?" Zion seemed surprised by the question but answered without hesitation. "That'

Zion explained, "I was one of them. Another was a man with the last name Summers, and of course, there was Dr. Hoffman. As for the fourth... I never figured out who he was. In the end, none of us succeeded, and maybe that had something to do with that unknown man."After Zion left, Felix sat there with a strange expression. He wondered just how captivating Sarah had been back then to attract so many men at once.Moreover, there was no doubt that the Summers man was Xena's grandfather, Curtis. The tangled web of emotions behind this old love story was likely more complicated than it seemed. Or perhaps Zion just did not want to talk about it. Either way, he had given Felix a direction to follow—if he wanted to unravel the mystery of the Ancient Sage, he had to find Sarah.…The plane took off, and Felix closed his eyes to rest. The first-class cabin was relatively empty, with only four passengers, including an interesting pair—a grandfather and granddaughter—playing handheld video

After giving her grandfather the Rapid Heart Relief Tablets, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Felix and gave him a small nod. While she likely did not trust his mysterious pill, she seemed to appreciate his willingness to help. It was clear she had a good head on her shoulders. Felix responded with a slight nod, then closed his eyes again, pretending to rest.Ten minutes later, the bespectacled doctor spoke up, his voice heavy with concern. "It's not working. It's been ten minutes, and your grandfather's condition hasn't improved. We need to get him to a hospital immediately, or it'll be too late."Anyone with medical training knew that if heart-relief pills did not ease acute heart attack symptoms within ten minutes, emergency medical care was the only option.However, the flight attendant had already announced earlier that they were still 20 minutes away from landing at Yartford Airport. In other words, there were no other options.The old man's breat

Felix did not bother responding to the psychologist's absurd accusation. If that man had any idea how valuable that pill was—something wealthy elites would fight tooth and nail for at an auction—he would know Felix had no reason to stoop to such cheap tricks.The psychologist's argument might have sounded convincing, but with her grandfather's life hanging by a thread, Eunice ultimately made her decision. She took a deep breath, then placed the pill into her grandfather's mouth.The effect was almost immediate. Within minutes, the old man's agonized expression softened until he looked like he was peacefully asleep."Doctor, what's happening? What does this mean?" Eunice asked, voice trembling.The doctor leaned in to listen to the man's heartbeat, then checked his pulse and breathing. His eyes widened in disbelief as he blurted out, "This... this is incredible. His symptoms have completely disappeared."He turned to look at Felix, shock written all over his face as he wondered wha

"Tomorrow, after lunch, you should catch a flight back. I need to head to Notura City," Felix said casually. He had asked Nerissa to come visit not just to spend time together but also to introduce her to some old friends and figure out the logistics for a belated wedding reception. Jack, in particular, was bound to make a scene about it.Sure enough, during lunch the next day, Jack slammed his hand on the table. He shouted, "What the hell, man! You got married and didn't even tell me?"Vanessa, sitting beside him, immediately pinched the soft flesh on his arm, making him wince. She scolded him, "Watch your mouth. Nerissa's sitting right here."Jack rubbed his arm and quickly apologized. "Sorry, Nerissa. I'm just pissed at this guy."Nerissa laughed, her eyes twinkling with amusement. These days, very few people dared to talk to Felix like that. Jack's boldness made it clear he and Felix were more like brothers than friends.She replied, "It's fine. I can't boss him around anywa

Felix locked eyes with the man across the street. After a few silent seconds, the stranger turned around and began walking away, his steps slow and deliberate. Felix then followed the man without a word—there was no need for conversation. Both men knew exactly what this encounter was about. They passed through two intersections before the man turned into a narrow alleyway. By the time Felix stepped in, the stranger was already waiting for him. "Do we know each other?" Felix asked.The man cracked his neck, his lips curling into a faint smile. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ashton Willis. I came here specifically to find you because... well, there's some information I can't seem to uncover. I need your help."Ashton Willis? The name did not ring a bell for Felix. He asked, "What makes you think I'd help you?"Ashton's grin widened. "Simple. Because you're not my equal, and you're not untouchable just because you've reached Grandmaster. There are forces in this world

Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t

With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc
