The most terrifying aspect was that only a few minutes had passed between the gate's destruction and their arrival, which spoke volumes about the intruder's incredible power. They wondered what kind of monster could accomplish such devastation in mere minutes. "Felix!" Jaden's shout snapped Cecil back to reality, and he focused on the lone figure standing amidst the bloodbath.It was indeed Felix, the same man who had been rescued by master healers. Yet, this seemed impossible, as Felix had lost all his martial powers—even a Martial King should have been able to defeat him easily."So you remember me? Do you recall what I said when I left Crimson Sage Sect?" Felix stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the mastermind of his kidnapping. He added, "I told you that once I returned, Crimson Sage Sect would cease to exist, and no one can change that inevitable fact." Since leaving the mountain, Felix had never suffered such humiliation. It was also why this was his first o

Jaden fled in panic on the mountain where Crimson Sage Sect was located, pushing his speed to the limit as he darted through the forest. Having heard Cecil's final, furious roar, he knew the outcome was already sealed."Mr. Black, I swear I'll avenge you! Damn it! How did Felix become so powerful in such a short time?" Jaden wondered in disbelief. Crimson Sage Sect was a major sect filled with powerful martial artists, yet Felix had single-handedly defeated them all. Jaden would not have believed it if he had not witnessed it himself.Suddenly, Jaden stopped, noticing a crater in the ground. He glared at the figure before him and hissed through gritted teeth, "Felix."It was terrifying how quickly Felix had caught up, leaving no time for even a glimmer of escape. "When you kidnapped me, did you ever imagine this day would come?" Felix asked coldly. Jaden swallowed hard, knowing he stood no chance against someone who had just killed Cecil and countless other elite fighters—his

Kennedy nodded with a smile. "You read me well. I value my life. My family's foundation runs deep, with several Innate Realm masters and even some who surpass that level. However, risking conflict with you over someone like Jaden simply isn't worth it."Felix found this increasingly intriguing. "Is that so? Please elaborate."Kennedy rubbed his hands together and continued, "The Innate Realm represents an almost impossible barrier for martial artists to cross. Those of lower ranks can't comprehend how difficult it is to kill an Innate Realm master."Even if you succeed, the risk is unbelievable. Who would want to provoke one? If they're a lone wolf, they could hunt you down anywhere, and there'd be nothing you could do about it." Felix waved his hand, recognizing the truth in these words. "Fair enough. Your words make sense. You may go."After Felix left, Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief. "Good grief. When did Dragonia produce such a formidable martial artist? He reached the Inn

"There's still another car?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix's statement left Xena puzzled."What do you mean?" she asked, glancing at the nearby Range Rover. She recognized it was Felix's car."There are three more inside. All of them are S-rank wanted criminals.""What?" Xena was stunned. S-rank fugitives were dangerous enough on their own, even if they weren't as fearsome as the Thirteen Aces. They were usually hiding, making them hard to capture. Yet Felix had managed to bring in four of them all at once?Ten minutes later, they arrived at Xena's office."So you're saying, as you were about to leave this afternoon, you found these four men tied up outside your gate, completely incapacitated?" Xena asked in disbelief.Felix nodded. "Yeah, I was just as surprised as you, so I brought them all over."In reality, Felix was a bit frustrated. He had only asked Seven to capture one S-rank fugitive. However, he went above and beyond and delivered four.Felix knew why Seven went thi

"What are you talking about?" Sherlyn pouted. "My grandfather truly has something important to discuss with you."Felix sighed, deciding to be direct with her. He genuinely didn't want her to waste her time on him. "Sherlyn, you deserve better happiness. Don't waste your time on me."Unexpectedly, Sherlyn wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I ever feel there's no hope at all, I'll leave. A woman's intuition is quite accurate, you know."Since she had made up her mind, what else could Felix do?Just then, footsteps sounded again, and Felix stood up quickly. To his surprise, even Sherlyn's father, Isaac, was there. It seemed that this matter wasn't a simple one. However, what could Felix possibly help with? After all, to everyone else, he was just an ordinary person now. He had no plans to reveal that he had regained his strength as his current situation was rather nice."Hello, Mr. Holt Senior and Mr. Holt."After the three of them sat down, Isaac broke

Felix could barely hold back his frustration. If it weren't for the presence of Ernest and others inside, he might have shouted."You old geezer, do I even have your contact information? How was I supposed to report to you?" Gerald's shameless behavior was something he was well acquainted with. The voice on the other end sounded as nonchalant as ever."So, you succeeded then! Doesn't it feel wonderful to break through and rebuild yourself?" Felix had to admit it was true."Yes," he replied simply."Now that your strength has advanced to the Innate Realm, don't go bothering your fellow apprentices anymore, understand?" Felix had expected this. The thrill of being able to rely on his fellow apprentices' resources over the past month was clearly short-lived."Understood. However, there's one more thing I would like to report, Mr. Hoffman. It's about the Shadowdragon Warlord."After Felix was done explaining, he could hear Gerald's voice lower in tone."That old coot is still

Just as Ernest finished speaking, a loud, grumbling voice came from inside the room."Ernest! Who are you calling an old man?"The voice sounded robust, hardly like that of a sick person. Ernest put on an embarrassed smile. The man was, after all, his old superior. His rebukes were warranted.As Felix passed Nala, he ignored her entirely. However, he had already picked up on something–the relationship between Lionel and Nala wasn't an ordinary one. Given the way Ernest spoke to her, they might even be family."If Ernest hadn't brought you, I wouldn't even let you set foot inside this door, Felix!" Nala's gaze was impassive, but her disdain was palpable. She wasn't one to be swayed by emotions, but the incident with the Walsh family had infuriated her. Although the agreement with the Walsh family still stood, it grated on her that someone she had labeled as useless dared flaunt himself in her presence. Had he come to curry favor with Shadowdragon Warlord using his past ties with

As Felix's words echoed through the room, even Lionel was momentarily stunned despite his vast experiences. He had long since given up hope of a cure, so his surprise was only natural. Ernest and Isaac, who always believed in Felix, were immediately filled with uncontainable excitement. For men of their caliber and integrity, this wasn't about personal gain or reputation. They were genuinely praying for Lionel's health.Only Nala's gaze remained icy."Felix! Do you think this is a joke? So many master healers have tried and failed, yet you think you can? Maybe once upon a time, I would've believed it. However, given your current skills, stop joking around!"Felix ignored her and looked directly at Lionel. "Would you permit me to give it a try, My Lord?"Lionel, who had snapped out of his shock, laughed heartily."Why wouldn't I agree? True healers never enter a battle they're not prepared for. While I am not afraid of the outcome, I must ask you how confident you are.""A hun

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
