Immediately, as Atticus saw the sword about to sever Ember's head, his gaze turned frightening. Instinctively, he reached out to the only power he knew could help in the situation. It was the very first treasure he gained upon coming into this world, the strongest power currently in his repertoire – his Katana. His Katana was always in one position, strapped to his left waist. No matter where he was going or what he planned to do, even during mundane activities like taking a bath, his Katana was a…

Every single person in the camp was a Ravenstein, and Ravensteins were never cowards. Immediately, from every corner of the camp, be it instructors, clerks, or even librarians, they all came out and started attacking the incoming individuals. A tsunami of attacks was exchanged, immediately lighting up the area. Atticus watched as the attacks illuminated the entire area, his mind operating at a fast speed. How did this happen? Why is this happening? How did they get past our defenses? Who is…

As soon as Atticus saw the crimson hue of the ship's weapon, he reacted immediately. The world seemed to slow as his heightened perception operated at full power. He swiftly stimulated his air bloodline with mana, his body became almost weightless. He manipulated the air around his body and moved. His body cut through the air at supersonic speed as he moved towards the cliff, immediately jumping downward. He immediately spotted Aurora, clinging on the mountain, her gaze fixed on the devastating…

Meanwhile, Atticus had just reached the mountain area and had already begun climbing the imposing mountain. The others were still in the water, but were not far behind. During the past few months, each trainee had grown considerably and had become adept at avoiding traps. They swam quickly towards the shore, easily spotting the water bursts and avoiding them. After a few minutes, Aurora was the first to come out of the water. She looked up and saw Atticus climbing, she quickly approached the…

The mountain where the Raven camp was established was discovered by the third family head of the Ravenstein family. The mountain held great sentimental value for the family. It had no remarkable features, there were no ancient dragons sealed within, nor were there any overpowered treasures to be found. Even the mana surrounding the mountain was subpar at best; without any external influence. So, why did the next generation of Ravensteins receive their training there? The reason was simple: it was…

Inside a dimly lit room, a lone figure could be seen sleeping on the bed. The room itself was devoid of any personal touches or decorations, giving it a stark and plain appearance. The only sound breaking the silence was the steady ticking of a clock on the wall. As the clock's hands reached 4:30, the figure's eyes flickered open, as if programmed. Atticus sat up, stretching and letting out a long, drawn-out yawn. After a moment, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up, covering his…

Finn sighed upon seeing Aurora like this. Even he didn't like the way Rowan treated his daughter. It was far too brutal. But what could he do? Rowan was his master, and his words were law. He had no choice but to listen. "Young miss, Master Rowan requests your presence," he spoke. Aurora didn't answer; she just kept holding onto Atticus's sleeves, shivering slightly. Atticus didn't speak either, not uttering a word. Finn, not getting his answer, spoke again, "You know what will happ—" but was…

The next morning, Aurora and Atticus could be seen on the training ground. The day before, Atticus had managed to convince Aurora to ignore Rowan's command. Aurora had reluctantly agreed, although Atticus could still notice her shaking at times.? But he left her alone, allowing her to deal with her inner turmoil. 'If she's not 100% in this, it would be a waste of time,' Atticus thought. He knew that, in the end, everything depended on Aurora. If later down the line she decided to return to her…

Aurora's eyes flicked open, and she found herself sitting up in an unfamiliar bed. She rubbed her eyes with her hand and stretched her body, letting out a cute yawn before taking a moment to get her bearings. The first thing she noticed was that her body felt different, surprisingly good. It was a stark contrast to the constant pain she was accustomed to. No aches, no bruises, no pain at all. She gingerly examined her body, marveling at the absence of the usual marks. This newfound change felt both…

Atticus approached Aurora, who was wailing on the floor. He bent down to her level and gently raised her chin, gazing directly into her red, puffy eyes. Her face was soaked with tears, mucus coming out of her nose, and her eyes were swollen. Atticus gave her his warmest smile, a smile filled with reassurance, but it only seemed to make Aurora cry even harder. Her sobs racked her fragile frame as she clung to him, her tiny hands gripping his clothes, soaking them with her tears. Atticus didn't…
