Crown Prince Haster reveals he ordered the attack and intends to kill everyone present to conceal the secret of the crimson cocoon. He singles out Ethan, knowing his sense of justice won't let him ignore the truth, and offers Duke Osantra a chance to live if he kills Ethan.

His eyes never left Haster.Inside his heart, only one thought remained.

'This guy...'

'He finally stopped pretending.'

The Transcendent Knight slowly stepped forward.

His enormous sword rested upon one shoulder while an overwhelming pressure spread from his body.

The dead land fell into complete silence once again.

Only the slow heartbeat of the giant crimson cocoon echoed across the battlefield.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Every beat sounded like the countdown to an unavoidable battle.

The surrounding nobles slowly spread out and formed a loose circle around Ethan while keeping their distance. Their expressions were filled with hesitation, guilt, fear, and determination all at once. Nobody wanted to make the first move, yet nobody dared disobey Haster's order either.

Ethan looked around at the familiar faces and clenched his jaw.

"Stop it..."

His voice echoed through the silent land.

"You don't need to fight for me."

His eyes swept across every noble standing before him.

"Your Highness,give me a chance I will obey..."

He had barely finished speaking when Duke Osantra suddenly moved.

BOOM!

The ground beneath his feet exploded apart.

His figure shot toward Ethan with terrifying speed while his sword erupted with dazzling sword energy.

"Ethan!"

The powerful slash came crashing down.

Ethan's pupils shrank.

He instinctively raised his sword.

CLANG!

A deafening collision echoed through the area while the tremendous force blasted Ethan backward several dozen meters. He barely managed to regain his footing before another noble rushed toward him from the side.

A spear shot straight toward his chest.

SWISH!

Ethan twisted his body at the last moment and narrowly avoided the attack before retreating again.

Another sword came from behind.A magic spell flew in from the left.

The nobles attacked one after another and forced Ethan to keep moving without giving him even a moment to breathe.

"What the hell are you all doing?!"

Ethan shouted while continuously dodging the attacks.

"I don't want to fight you!"

His voice was drowned out by another powerful explosion.

BOOM!

A huge sword strike crashed onto the ground where he had been standing only a heartbeat earlier. Broken rocks flew everywhere while dust covered the battlefield.

Haster quietly watched everything without changing his expression.

His calm eyes slowly shifted toward the armored Transcendent Knight.

"Capture Ethan."

His voice remained as gentle as ever.

"Alive if possible."

The Transcendent Knight gave a slight nod.

Without another word, he disappeared.

SWISH!

The terrifying pressure vanished.

Ethan instantly felt every hair on his body stand up.His instincts screamed in warning.

He immediately leaped backward.

BOOOOOOM!

A gigantic sword slammed into the ground exactly where he had been standing. The impact shattered the rocky earth and sent cracks spreading in every direction.

Ethan's face turned pale.

'Too fast!'

'If that attack had landed...'

He didn't even dare finish the thought.

The Transcendent Knight slowly walked out of the dust with his enormous sword dragging across the ground.

Every step carried terrifying pressure.

Ethan immediately turned around.

"I have to get out of here."

Without another moment of hesitation, he shot toward the edge of the battlefield at full speed.

He dazzler his way across and taking out a scroll tore it open opening a form portal.

"Shit..Catch him..He will be getting out."

The nobles instinctively chased after him.

Ethan moved swiftly toward the portal, but just before he could step inside, every instinct inside his body screamed in warning.

Danger!

Without even turning around, he knew something terrifying was approaching.

The Transcendent Knight had already moved.

SWISH!

His armored figure appeared directly beside Ethan as though he had crossed space itself. Without giving Ethan even a heartbeat to react, he thrust his enormous sword straight toward him.

The terrifying pressure alone split the ground beneath their feet.

Just as the deadly blade was about to pierce Ethan...A powerful figure suddenly appeared between them.

CLAAAAANG!

Duke Osantra blocked the strike head-on.

The collision shook the surrounding land while violent shockwaves swept across the dead battlefield. Rocks shattered into pieces while the thick miasma rolled away in every direction.

As the smoke slowly dispersed, everyone's expressions changed.

The Transcendent Knight's sword had pierced straight through Duke Osantra's body.

Blood slowly flowed from the wound and dripped onto the broken ground below.

The Transcendent Knight frowned slightly.

"So..."

"You never intended to obey."

Duke Osantra smiled despite the blood gathering at the corner of his mouth.

"When did I ever say I was going to?"

His breathing had already become heavy, yet his eyes remained firm.He wanted to pretend to change side and attack Ethan then lead him far, helping him to escape but who knew Haster would directly order Transcendent Knight.

He suddenly roared and swung his sword with every bit of strength he had left.

BOOOOM!

The powerful slash forced the Transcendent Knight back just enough to create a small opening.

Duke Osantra immediately turned toward Ethan.

"Ethan!"

His roar echoed across the battlefield.

"Run!"

"Don't waste this chance!"

"I'll hold them back!"

Ethan froze for the briefest moment.

"Duke..."

"GO!"

Duke Osantra roared once again while another devastating clash erupted behind him.

Even before Ethan could say another word, Duke Osantra burned his own lifespan.

BOOOOOOOM!

A terrifying aura burst from his body.

His hair rapidly turned white while deep wrinkles appeared across his face. Veins bulged beneath his skin as his cultivation violently climbed for a brief moment.

His sword collided against the Transcendent Knight once again.

CLAAAAANG!

Another terrifying shockwave burst outward and shattered everything nearby.

The opening would not last long.

Ethan gritted his teeth until blood almost seeped from his gums.

"Fuckkkkk!"

He roared at the top of his lungs.

His fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

Meanwhile, Duke Osantra was slowly reaching his limit.

Blood continuously poured from the wound through his chest while his breathing became weaker with every passing second.

The Transcendent Knight calmly stepped forward.

He slowly raised his sword.

The terrifying blade gathered enough force to split apart a mountain.

This time...

He intended to finish Duke Osantra.

Just as the sword began descending...

A dazzling pillar of golden light suddenly exploded across the battlefield.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The beam descended from the heavens with overwhelming speed.

The surrounding miasma was instantly torn apart.

Thousands of meters of corrupted mist were brutally cut open while the golden light purified everything in its path.

The ground trembled violently.

The mountains shook.

Even the air itself seemed to split apart beneath that terrifying radiance.

The Transcendent Knight's eyes narrowed.

Without hesitation, he abandoned his attack and immediately retreated.

BOOOOM!
