Chapter 684

Author: Dreamy Fire
Huxley was standing beside Zechariah after he hung up the call, trembling with fear.

"I'm serious. Clement really does have a friend who knows Mr. Gray," he said nervously, following Felix's instructions word for word.

But Zechariah wasn't having it. To his surprise, Zechariah swung a hard slap across Huxley's face.

"Bullshit! If Clement had a friend like that, would he still be groveling at the bank and begging for a measly loan?"

Kurt was no minor figure. In a city like Gray City, there was probably not more than ten people who could afford to disrespect him. For someone like him, getting a loan approved was child's play.

"I know you're friends with Clement, but if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for what happens next!" Zechariah snapped.

At that moment, Felix walked in, his expression calm as ever.

"Huxley was giving you some good advice. However, it doesn't seem like you're accepting it," Felix said casually.

"Huh?" Zechariah glanced at him sideways, sizing him up

    "The Jacobs family? You must really know Yartford inside out. So much so that you can tell who lives at every address you see." Felix joked.Suddenly, Felix froze. "Wait a minute, which Jacobs family are you talking about?"George shot him a wry smile. "The Jacobs family at the top of the Eight Great Martial Families. Apart from them, there's no other Jacobs family worth remembering."Felix was stunned. After all, with the Scarlet Thread still in him, he was walking straight into a trap."Isn't the top of the Eight Great Martial Families in Yartford the Crayden family?" Felix asked. "Each city only has one family from the Eight Great Martial Families, so how could the Jacobs family and Crayden family both be in Yartford?"George explained, "You're right, Felix. The Jacobs family in Yartford isn't the main branch. It's just where some of the older members of the family go to retire. It shouldn't really be the case, but the Jacobs family is so powerful that the Crayden family doesn'

    "This is the Miracle Card. Please take a look," someone said.As the Jacobs family was at the top of the Eight Great Martial Families, it was no surprise that they had a Miracle Card. After a quick inspection, it was confirmed as real, and Felix immediately put it away."Take me to the patient," Felix said.If anyone else had behaved so arrogantly after entering the Jacobs family's doors, they would have been beaten senseless by now. However, Felix was likely the mysterious apprentice of the legendary miracle doctor, so they felt that acting with such confidence was only fitting."Grandpa, who is that person? Why is everyone treating him like a star?"A young man looked on with disdain as Felix made his way through the Jacobs family estate."Shut your mouth, you brat! That person is probably the mysterious apprentice of the medical master. Are you trying to destroy the Jacobs family by saying stuff like that?"The young man didn't take it seriously. "Hmph! If it weren't for Maso

    The newcomer was a young man, the same one who had earlier looked at Felix from a distance with great disdain."How do we know that you've truly cured him? His back might be straightened, but who can guarantee how long it will last?"Felix ignored the young man's aggressive attitude and didn't even respond. Several elderly figures immediately rushed over."Shut up, you impudent brat! How dare you speak out of line?" they scolded.Levi approached Felix with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. That young relative is ignorant and rude. Please forgive him."Felix nodded without saying much and turned to leave.Even so, the young man was still seething with anger, though he dared not speak up anymore.He dared to behave this way because, after Mason's death, he was the most talented and gifted young member of the Jacobs family. He had just reached the Innate Realm the day before. He had been summoned to that place by his elders to receive guidance, which made him bold but not reckless

    Felix laughed and said, "It's fine, don't worry about it too much.""That's good. By the way, don't forget about my wedding," Jack said.After the phone call ended, Felix and his companions had a few more drinks. Then, they personally took him to the airport. Felix arrived back in Gray City just as the sun was setting.Having just built a good relationship with Willow, Felix felt it was best to seize the opportunity. Even staying a night in Yartford felt like a loss to him.As he was nearing his home, Felix spotted a woman who turned her head as if sensing his presence."Zara Morgan?" he called out.Felix frowned. As soon as Zara took a step, Felix ran off. After all, he had already promised Silas to avoid her.Some time later at night, a call from Kurt came through."What's the situation?" Felix asked."The woman is still standing at the door and hasn't left," Kurt replied.Felix felt a headache brewing from the news he heard. "I understand. Keep watching her."It seemed

    The Twinshade Body? Felix scoured his mind but couldn't find any information about it, so he had no choice but to admit, "I've never heard of it."Silas was visibly disappointed, and he stopped himself from saying more. Rising to his feet, Silas said, "Just hold on for a few more days. I've been trying to find a solution, and I've already contacted Lemuel. He's promised to give me an answer soon. I can only ask for your patience for now."As he spoke, Silas unexpectedly bowed, which startled Felix. Felix asked, "What are you doing, sir?" Silas waved his hand. "This is something my apprentice and I owe you. It has nothing to do with you. You're a victim in all of this. I'm already very grateful that you respect me. Once I have the results, I'll contact you right away."With that, Silas left, leaving Felix feeling unsettled and anxious.It kind of felt like when a beautiful woman had stirred him up to the point of burning with desire, only to tell him that she couldn't proceed

    "At that time, all the righteous and evil factions united to hunt him down. After trapping him, they fought for nine days and nights. There were countless casualties before they finally killed the Twinshade Body's owner," Gerald explained.Felix's mouth hung open in shock, imagining just how intense that battle must have been—it was too exaggerated to even comprehend."Is the Twinshade Body really that terrifying?" Felix asked."Yes! Before the body fully erupts, the person is just like an ordinary human. Only someone at the level of a master healer could detect it by physically touching the body. No matter how strong the martial artist, they wouldn't sense it. But once it erupts, controlling it is nearly impossible."Before Felix could ask more questions, Gerald continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Silas must have used the Ultimate Needle Technique to seal Zara's Twinshade Body. "After the incident in the Era of King Arthur, this formation was researched and became the only way to t

    When Felix arrived at the villa's entrance, Silas, despite coughing up blood, stood firm in front of Zara.Standing across from them was none other than Karina. Who would have thought she would arrive so quickly? It was as if she had been nearby the whole time."If you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless," she said.Karina's expression was cold and unyielding. She had already injured Silas with one strike, but she hadn't delivered a fatal blow out of consideration. However, seeing that Silas refused to step aside, she had no reason to hold back anymore.Felix knew how serious Karina was about her tasks, especially when they came from their mentor. Without wasting time on pointless pleas like "spare him", he pushed his speed to the limit. Even resorting to using the Speed Talisman Gerald had given him, he barely managed to intercept Karina at the critical moment.Knowing he wasn't her match, Felix shouted as he threw himself at Karina, holding her back."Take her a

    It would have been too much of a reckless gamble to take Zara away by force."Don't worry, sir. Zara's strength is no match for mine. My mentor once said that the Twinshade Body only activates after falling in love and being intimate with someone they love. If she comes to me, I can completely restrain her and hand her over to you," Felix said.However, Silas shook his head immediately."That won't work. There's something I haven't told you. Do you remember the time Zara saved your life?""Of course."That poisoning incident was something Felix would never forget for the rest of his life."The stunning beauty you were with in your dream? That was the real Zara! Yes, her true appearance is just that flawless."Felix was stunned, like a bolt of lightning had struck him. Could there really be such a perfect woman in this world, with a figure and looks beyond reproach?"Now imagine this. If Zara regains her true appearance and stands before you, as a man—especially one who's alread

    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
