A massive magical barrier is activated around Blank City, revealing a conspiracy between high-ranking Empire officials and Heretics. Marquise Ethan Blank and Duke Osantra are declared traitors after uncovering this plot and narrowly escaping an assassination attempt. The Blank Family publicly defends Ethan, preparing the city for conflict.

Far above Blank City, the two black-cloaked figures quietly looked down at the enormous barrier covering the entire city. The cold wind brushed past their robes while neither of them showed the slightest emotion.

One of them slowly stepped forward.

He was a mage.He calmly raised the long staff in his hand and pointed it toward the sky.

The moment the staff was lifted, countless magic circles began appearing one after another. They spread across the heavens while rotating slowly and intertwining with each other. More and more circles continued to appear until they completely covered the sky above Blank City.

An enormous magic formation soon took shape.

The surrounding mana violently gathered toward it while the air itself began trembling under the terrifying pressure.

The mage glanced toward his companion.

"So I don't need to hold back, right? I can just flatten everything, right?"

The swordsman standing beside him never even looked away from the city.

"You may."

The mage smiled faintly.

"Very well."

He tightened his grip around the staff.

The countless magic circles suddenly shone with dazzling light.

BOOOOOOM!

The sky rumbled violently.

A gigantic burning meteor slowly emerged from the center of the formation. It was so enormous that it completely covered the sunlight while its blazing surface continuously burned with terrifying flames.

The entire sky darkened.

A massive shadow fell over Blank City.

The people below instinctively raised their heads.Their faces immediately turned pale.

"What... what is that?"

"A meteor!"

"My God..."

"It's falling!"

Panic instantly spread across the streets.

Many people screamed in horror while others hurriedly hugged their families. Some fell onto their knees while looking at the terrifying object descending from the heavens.

Inside the Blank Estate, everyone also sensed the overwhelming pressure.

Even Duke Osantra slowly lifted his head.

His expression immediately became grave.

"They've come."

The gigantic meteor continued descending.

The surrounding air burned because of the tremendous speed while long trails of fire stretched across the sky.

The ground began shaking before the meteor had even landed.Buildings throughout the city trembled.

Windows cracked.

Trees bent under the violent pressure.

Then...

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The enormous meteor crashed directly onto the giant dome covering Blank City.

A deafening explosion erupted.

A blinding flash of light swallowed the entire area while violent shockwaves spread in every direction.

The surrounding mountains shook violently.

Huge rocks rolled down the cliffs.

The earth split apart while countless clouds of dust shot high into the sky.

The impact was so powerful that even people standing dozens of kilometers away could feel the ground trembling beneath their feet.

For several long moments...

Nothing could be seen.

Dust completely covered the battlefield.

The two cloaked figures silently watched the scene while waiting for the dust to settle.

Slowly...

The thick cloud began dispersing.

The smoke drifted away.

Then...

Both of their expressions froze.

"What..."

"How is this possible?"

Blank City still stood peacefully beneath the enormous dome.

The barrier continued shining with a faint golden light.Not even a single visible crack had appeared on its surface.

The attack that should have flattened the entire city had failed completely.

The two cloaked figures stared at the barrier in disbelief.Neither of them could understand what they were seeing.

The mage slowly lowered his staff.

"Impossible..."

"That attack should have destroyed everything."

Before either of them could react further...

A calm voice suddenly echoed behind them.

"My liege won't like this."

The two figures instantly stiffened.

Their pupils shrank.

They slowly turned around toward the source of the voice while their hands instinctively tightened around their weapons.

As the voice faded, two figures slowly walked out from inside the barrier.

One was a pale-looking old man wearing simple robes while holding a wooden staff. His face looked calm, but his eyes were as deep as an endless abyss.

Beside him walked a man with a pair of enormous black wings spread behind his back. His expression remained cold while his sharp eyes stayed fixed on the two intruders in the sky.

The two cloaked figures immediately recognized the winged man.

"The butler..."

The mage frowned slightly.

"He is the servant of the Blank Estate."

The swordsman gave a slight nod, but his attention quickly shifted toward the pale old man standing beside him.

His expression slowly became serious.

"This one..."

"I can't see through him completely."

Although the old man did not release any aura, the pressure coming from him made even the two Transcendent experts feel uneasy.

Below, Rathlos quietly looked toward the two enemies in the sky with a heavy expression.Both of them were Transcendent experts.With his current strength, he could not even sense their true cultivation clearly.

He was only at the Peak Saint Knight Realm.

As for Mareti, although he had not reached the Transcendent Realm, his mastery over stored magic allowed him to fight against one for a short time.

Even then...

That was his limit.

They could only hold them back.

Defeating them was almost impossible.

Mareti slowly stepped forward and raised the wooden staff in his hand.

The staff immediately released a powerful pressure while countless faint magic runes quietly appeared around it.

His calm gaze rested on the two figures.

"If you want to cause trouble, you had better think carefully."

The swordsman laughed coldly before taking a slow step forward.

"Do you really think you can stop us?"

His sword slowly left its scabbard while an overwhelming sword intent spread across the sky.

"We are not people who reached this level yesterday."

"It has been several decades since we stepped into the Transcendent Realm."

He glanced toward the Blank Estate and then looked back at Mareti and Rathlos.

"I have to admit."

"We were quite surprised by the level of personnel Marquise Ethan has been hiding."

"It seems he has always carried rebellious intentions."

The moment those words fell...

SWISH!

He swung his sword.

A terrifying sword wave instantly tore across the sky.

The sharp blade of energy stretched for hundreds of meters while cutting through the clouds. The surrounding air split apart and the overwhelming pressure descended toward Blank City.

Rathlos' expression changed.

"Mareti!"

The two immediately moved.

Both of them knew they had to stop the attack before it reached the barrier.

Just as they were about to make their move...

SWISH!

Another sword wave suddenly shot across the sky from an entirely different direction.

It was even faster.

CLAAANG!

The two attacks collided head-on.

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the heavens while countless streams of sword energy scattered in every direction.

The terrifying sword wave from the Transcendent expert shattered into countless pieces before disappearing completely.

The violent shockwave spread across the sky and shook the surrounding clouds apart.

The mage and the swordsman both frowned.

Their expressions immediately became serious.

"What..."

"Who interfered?"

They quickly looked toward the direction from where the attack had come.

A calm voice slowly echoed through the sky.

"Junior..."

"Why don't you leave this matter here?"

The voice carried neither anger nor pressure, yet it strangely echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

The two Transcendent experts instinctively turned toward the source of the voice.

Far away, an old man slowly walked through the air with his hands behind his back. Every step he took seemed slow, yet in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed an incredible distance.

His calm gaze rested upon the two intruders.

"Why don't you leave now?"
