"This won't be a usual, tiny war," said the crimson-eyed man, continuing to stuff the artifacts within his bag. "The fact that you sold to their opponents during such a time would inevitably result in backlash." "Backlash…" "Your death," said Arthur, locking eyes with the petrified figure of the talented businessman. Although well-versed in business tactics, Ferhill was unbeknownst to the complexities of human reaction. At this point, the two clans were aggressively seeking allies and attempting…-

Arthur smiled faintly at the leaderboard. No one on the same floor–except perhaps Eleanor with access to Celestial Flames–could rival his power. He was practically invincible on the same level and perhaps on a few higher floors. Now, moving on to the Unification Technique. Regarding its origin, Arthur was still in the dark. The only thing he was aware of was its usefulness. Many swordsmen desired to achieve the Unification of Body and Mind, but only a few were successful. The Unification of…

Arthur let out a sigh, massaging his forehead as he attempted to process the events that had unfolded before his eyes. Wariness remained in his eyes. spread across a vast area, searching for signs of Umbral's return. But there were none. After spouting incomprehensible words, the child had "merely" established a rift within space itself, using it to escape the Second Floor without experiencing the penalty of death. No one had ever done that before. Were the Guardians even capable of escaping the…

Within an inescapable abyss, Eleanor levitated. Her body was curled up, while her eyes were tightly shut. Only the faint sound of her rapidly beating heart was audible. The racing heart that condemned itself for the death of Eleanor's mother. The silver flames that caused the incident. She hated those flames with all her heart, but they didn't seem to reciprocate. Instead, the warmth of the flames–although agonizing to others–was the only thing in which Eleanor found comfort. 'But I can't… they…

The two exchanged warm glances, but their eyes soon turned indifferent. Today, they had business to discuss… Business that could potentially alter the fate of the Celestial Peaks and its innumerable residents. "Did Joseph brief you about the matter?" Bahamut inquired, his eyes containing a hint of solemnity. Eleanor didn't mind and trotted towards his throne without mind for traditions or usual acts of paying respect. Bahamut didn't resist, allowing his sole daughter to plop on the armrest of his…

As the vibrant rays of the Sun squeezed through the window, a little girl's eyes slowly began to open. Her crimson pupils gazed at the golden ceiling, adorned with intricate patterns and a vintage chandelier. A warm smile blossomed on her face. The girl–also called Eleanor or the Princess Of The Dragons–slowly got off her bed, walking over to the massive window from which one could view the entirety of the Celestial Peaks. As one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing sceneries in Heaven's Spire,…

The silver flames enveloping Arthur's body rejuvenated him to a certain extent, instilling a sense of comfort and warmth within his mind. A sense of superiority rose in his chest, providing him with the belief that he could shatter through any limitations at that very moment. The darkness surrounding his chest and neck lightened but did not disappear completely. Arthur forced his eyes open, resisting the urge to fall into a deep slumber, nestled within the comfort of the silver flames. 'Does that…

Since it was not viable to approach Eleanor in his current state, Arthur decided to employ an entirely different strategy. Usually, one would be gentle in awakening a person who'd been forcibly put to sleep. But Arthur didn't have such leeway. If he couldn't wake her in the next two minutes, both of them would inevitably perish. Not only was Umbral stupidly powerful, but his abilities were also unknown to the crimson-eyed man. The child had only revealed a few of them. 'His arsenal is undoubtedly…

A world stripped of all darkness descended yet again, followed by the deafening roar of a collision. The mixture of Hydrogen and Helium encompassed the surrounding area, burning everything in proximity to cinders, while simultaneously protecting those the wielder did not wish to harm. Then, suddenly, the eeriness of silence rang in the ears of everyone present. The Sun could form shadows, but it could also destroy them. The remnants of the zombies who'd attempted to obstruct Arthur's path fell to…

The existence of the Child Of Shadows was unknown to Arthur. The name hadn't appeared during his former life. Or had it? Arthur couldn't recall the existence of such an enigma, but he also felt as if his thoughts were clouded when he searched his memories for his existence. As if something was obstructing his thoughts. But, as far as he remembered, there was no such person. 'Did he fall early on?' Arthur wondered, narrowing his eyes. But it wasn't possible. Even Lucas and Aditya would have a…
