Chapter 1401

Somewhere in the tomb, Leah said while looking back at the collapsed section behind them, "The tomb of Francis' descendant really lives up to its reputation. That was way too close." Her face was filled with lingering fear. The three of them had lost all their earlier composure. They were now dusty and disheveled, showing just how difficult their journey had been. "Thankfully, Mr. Zandro's prediction was right. The challenges were things Jean and I could handle. Otherwise, we'd have been in serious trouble." Kenneth's face broke into a slight smile as he surveyed what lay ahead. "Looks like we've reached the main burial chamber." Hearing this, the twins quickly looked forward, their eyes lighting up with excitement. Where they stood was a spacious area with numerous round stone pillars seemingly supporting the entire space. In the center sat an enormous black coffin. "It's huge!" Both Leah and Jean were astounded. Judging by its size, the coffin could easily fit three peo

Chapter 1402

One of the twins said, "Looks like we didn't come away empty-handed, after all. I wonder what's special about this parchment." "Whatever it is, it's got nothing to do with you anymore." The sudden voice made all three quickly turn, their faces draining of color. Felix stepped out from the shadowy corner with an expressionless face. Clearly, Felix was still alive, and it was something none of them had expected. According to Kenneth, anyone sent through the sacrificial door would definitely die. Yet here he was, alive and well. Kenneth recovered quickly, his face suddenly brightening with feigned delight. "Mr. Willis! I'm so glad you're safe. We've been searching for you throughout the tomb." Felix laughed coldly. "Really? Then, I should thank you all." After jumping through the now-vanished black slab, Felix had landed in this chamber and immediately spotted the massive coffin. He figured this had to be the tomb owner's resting place, or at least somewhere Kenneth's group wo

Chapter 1403

Felix was dumbstruck. There was someone else here, yet a powerful martial artist like him hadn't even detected them. When he looked over, he saw a middle-aged woman standing behind Leah and Jean. She was even more elegant and refined than the twins. Right then, the twins had strange expressions on their faces. They were frozen in absolute terror, not daring to move a muscle. Felix immediately realized they weren't choosing not to move—they couldn't move at all. "Who are you?" Kenneth was stressed out. He had never met a stranger in a tomb before. And this person actually came alone. How could this be possible? Even the most powerful wouldn't dare enter a tomb by themselves. "Who am I? Well, let me introduce myself. I'm Mackenzie. Or in your terms, I'm an S-tier Malevolent Phantom."What? Felix and Kenneth gasped. Looking at the twin sisters who were nearly in tears, it made sense why they were instantly immobilized—this was the work of an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. But why

Chapter 1404

Kenneth yelped, "Good lord! You're Felix Zeller!" Ignoring Kenneth's outburst, Felix kept his eyes on Mackenzie. "Have you been following me?" Mackenzie smiled and said, "Of course I have. I find you interesting. If you want me to spare you, it's quite simple. Just—" She didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she pointed a finger. Before Felix could react, Kenneth's body flew backward into the wall, exploding into a mist of blood. "I just noticed there was still some trash alive. How disgusting!" Felix remained silent. He was facing an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, after all. Even in a fight, his chances of survival were practically zero. "Tell me why Donna is so close to a human like you, and I'll spare your life." Interesting. Felix seemed calm on the outside, but his mind was racing. Did this mean Mackenzie didn't know about the Mystical Explosive Orb? After thinking briefly, he had a rough idea of the situation. It seemed that not all S-tier Phantoms possessed such orbs.

Chapter 1405

Just as Felix was preparing to fight to the death, a sudden howl startled him. At first, he thought some new trap had been triggered in the tomb. But he then realized the sound had come from inside his mind. "Seekstorm?" Felix froze as he recognized the presence. It was Auroris the Seekstorm that had been sleeping in his soul since he had bonded with it. The creature had fallen into slumber after devouring Kevin's bone back in Martial City. Felix had never expected it to wake up at such a critical moment. Auroris whimpered, but Felix just smiled bitterly. It was only good at finding rare herbs and couldn't really offer any help in battle. It was unlucky of Auroris to wake up right now—it would have been better for it to remain asleep and perish alongside its master. "Auroris, I'm sorry. I'll release you from our bond now. Hurry up and run as quickly as you can. Mackenzie probably wouldn't bother with you." Since Auroris had awakened, Felix couldn't let it die with him. The

Chapter 1406

"Holy crap! Is Auroris this strong? I thought it could only track rare herbs!" Felix was stunned. If Auroris could take down an S-tier Malevolent Phantom, his path forward would be a lot easier.In less than 30 seconds, Auroris darted around Mackenzie like a blur, leaving her screaming until she collapsed motionless on the ground, as if dead. Then, Felix watched as Auroris let out a satisfied burp before trotting over, its three tails wagging wildly like it was begging for praise."Auroris, you're full of surprises! That was amazing!" Felix scooped it up, chuckling in disbelief—but his smile vanished the next second. "Wait. You're going back into hibernation?"Though Auroris could not speak, their bond let Felix sense its exhaustion. It whimpered gently, confirming it needed to sleep again, likely after devouring Mackenzie's soul. The sheer amount of energy must've triggered another growth phase."Fine. Go ahead and rest." Losing his strongest ally sucked, but Felix could not help

Chapter 1407

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, but in reality, it was lightning-fast. To an outside observer, Felix would have looked like a statue—his eyes glazed over, locked onto the Mystery Parchment in his hands.With his last shred of awareness, he summoned every soul-bound weapon he had, flinging them out in desperation. But neither the Infinite Shield nor Lumen reacted. Without a visible enemy, they had nothing to attack or defend against. The Mountain Mover stayed equally useless.Then, just in time, the Inkspire Quill sprang to life. It slashed across the parchment with a bold stroke, leaving no mark yet snapping Felix back to reality."That was too close!" He shuddered, his back drenched in cold sweat. He did not even understand what had happened—only that he had nearly been lost forever. When Felix glanced down again, the Mystery Parchment flickered with a black dot that swelled and vanished, taking the parchment with it. It was as if the parchment had never existed befor

Chapter 1408

"What the hell? I collected the whole Scholar's Arsenal, and you're still trying to kill me? That doesn't make sense!" Felix cursed.He figured the tomb could not have been designed just to kill him. Right after he finished grumbling, he noticed an opening suddenly appear on the stone wall ahead, although he had not seen when it actually formed.Nonetheless, he did not have time to question it now. Wherever that opening led, he had no other choice but to take it. Before leaving, he decided to bring Mackenzie's body along with him.Somewhere on the outskirts of Mount Dalinton, a barren clearing stood out in sharp contrast to the lush forest nearby. Suddenly, the ground exploded, and a figure leaped out, landing firmly on solid ground."Finally made it out," Felix muttered to himself.Looking around at his surroundings, he realized he had managed to escape alive. That narrow opening had indeed been an exit. Though the winding path out had been tricky, at least he had survived.Glan

Chapter 1409

Felix stood quietly, observing Donna carefully. Clearly, she recognized Mackenzie.Donna stepped forward cautiously, touching Mackenzie's lifeless body. Her expression shifted dramatically once again. She muttered in disbelief, "It really is Mackenzie."Only then did Felix speak up, asking, "Really? You can tell who she is even after she's dead?"Donna nodded slowly. "Yes. A Malevolent Phantom's presence can linger clearly for more than a month. It makes identifying them easy."At that point, Donna looked at Felix, showing genuine eagerness for the very first time."How did she die? And what happened to you?" Donna's mind was racing.After all, Mackenzie was a fully powered S-tier Malevolent Phantom, different from the previous one whose soul core was exposed. She could think of a thousand scenarios, yet none involved Felix being capable of taking down someone of Mackenzie's strength. Felix ignored her question, asking instead, "First, tell me how you knew Mackenzie."Donna di

Chapter 1410

Since Donna was the master of the Mystical Explosive Orb, if it had absorbed another S-tier Malevolent Phantom's soul essence, she would have noticed immediately. But because she had not sensed anything, she trusted Felix's story even more."Donna, the threat from Specter is gone, but other S-tier Phantoms are after me now," Felix said firmly. "If partnering with you means attracting such huge dangers, maybe we should just end our agreement here."Felix genuinely meant what he said. At this point, the Mystical Explosive Orb only sped up the growth of his soul power a bit. He did not even need the phantom core anymore since he already had the Destiny Crystal. Weighed against the danger, it just was not worth it.Donna hesitated briefly before replying, "This was definitely an accident. My situation with Specter was unique. Very few S-tier Phantoms would be so curious—they know clearly that interfering means making an enemy of us. "Mackenzie must've just gotten intrigued when she sa
