Everyone reacted at the same time. As the Spells were shooting at Jerald's army, the warriors jumped with all their power. In the past, this would have been a death sentence to the warriors. After all, they would be sitting ducks in the air. But things had changed. While still shooting upward, the warriors all landed on their weapons and shot forward. Meanwhile, the Spell all of Jerald's Mages were casting was Mana Step. Earlier, the warriors had blocked the Mages' path, but with them jumping away,…-

The black clouds above the Empress Cobra Zone kept it in perpetual darkness, which didn't help the nervous mood everyone was in. The soldiers rarely talked since they had to be at the peak of their concentration at all times. They knew that the enemy would show up. They just didn't know when and where they would appear from. Sylvia had already shown the power of Susan's Darkness' Veil, and Susan would certainly take advantage of that Spell yet again. Everyone knew that Susan's entire army would be…

Shang and Sylvia landed at the meeting place and waited for Jerald. The frontline where Duke Mithril had been was much farther away than Shang's target. Half an hour later, Jerald also arrived. "Tell me how the fight went," Jerald said. Shang nodded and recounted the fight. After Shang was done, Jerald also nodded. "Good work, Sylvia," he said as he looked at Sylvia. "No problem, Jerald," Sylvia said with a bright smile. Jerald looked a bit uncomfortable when he saw her smile like that, and he looked…

Shang knew that Sylvia couldn't be weak, but her Spells had been more powerful than he had expected. Especially that last one. Even without Shang, Sylvia would have probably been able to kill the Mage, but not before the Council arrived. But now was not the time to think about such stuff. Shang destroyed the body and collected the Focus and the Space Ring. While running towards Sylvia, Shang fed Sword more ore, and when he arrived, Sword had already recovered to its Colossal Sword State. Sword flew…

After a couple of hours, a High Mage entered Shang's Spirit Sense. He was traveling at normal speeds for a High Mage that wasn't using Mana Step. Obviously, he was conserving his Mana. The Mage was a middle-aged man with a brown beard and long red hair, wearing the typical robes of a Duke. "He's here," Shang said after hours of silence. Sylvia checked the surroundings with her Spirit Sense, but she couldn't find the Mage. She had already been informed that Shang could feel others from much further…

Shang and Sylvia flew for several minutes in silence. Sylvia only stood behind Shang with her typical smile on her face, while Shang only looked forward. Of course, he still kept his vigilance up regarding Sylvia. Mind Reads were extremely difficult to manipulate, and Jerald would have noticed any discrepancies anyway, but Shang still liked to be careful. He didn't know her, and he wouldn't take any chances. Of course, Sylvia noticed Shang's senses, but she didn't say anything. The two of them reached…

Three hours later, the warriors assaulted the Icy Wyvern Zone. There had been two High Mages present. The other High Mages had fled towards the north. Of the two High Mages, one was accepted into Jerald's ranks, while the other one was executed. The second High Mage had believed that his actions had always been reasonable in the past, but after reading his memories, Jerald didn't agree. This was one of the High Mages that believed his actions were not his responsibility as long as he only followed…

The announcement of Sylvia Eternalfrost joining Jerald's side raised several eyebrows and evoked skepticism from all the warriors. Hadn't Duke Whirlwind promised that he would get rid of the Council? Had their trust been misplaced in him? Luckily, Jerald's next words cleared up a big part of the issue. He said that Sylvia had allowed him to read her mind, and he had seen with his own eyes how every other Council member had supported the suppression of the warriors. He promised everyone that Sylvia…

Silence. Nothing? Did they all hear that correctly? "Nothing?" Jerald asked with a deadpan voice, showing that he didn't fully believe her. "Well, we would like to survive, but that's about it," Sylvia said with a chuckle. More silence. Shang furrowed his brows. This couldn't be that simple. "You do realize that I will have to read your mind?" Jerald asked. Sylvia nodded. "Yes, I know." Even more silence. "And you are fine with that?" Jerald asked. "Yep." … "And if I find out that you…

Three True Path Stage warriors were stationed at the northern border of the Empress Cobra Zone. The next assault would happen in four hours, and while they waited, they had to secure the borders in case the Council decided to launch a sudden attack. Usually, nothing special would happen. Some citizens and some True Mages would pass the border, but that was about it. But today, something would happen. As the warriors waited for the next assault, somebody slowly entered their Spirit Sense from the…
