An Understated Dominance -
Chapter 1696 by Marina Vittori
In the upper echelons of the House of Heroes, the symbolic life essence amulet representing the Chief Guildmaster had split into two halves.
The life essence amulet, crafted from a unique material impervious to blades and flames, was nearly indestructible from external forces. Its vulnerability lay in self-shattering when the amulet’s owner met their demise.
Despite its incredibility, the undeniable truth unfolded before their eyes. The Chief Guildmaster Alaric had indeed met an inexplicable end with no forewarning.
“Chief Guildmaster!” Elder Lucius collapsed as he was overwhelmed with grief. Their friendship ran deep, and Alaric’s sudden death was an unbearable blow.
“Who did this? Who killed the Chief Guildmaster?”
“Whoever it is, we must avenge the Chief Guildmaster!”
“All disciples of the Dragon Guard, listen up! Immediately head to Quandary Mountain and annihilate the murderer!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, the entire Dragon Guard erupted into chaos. Members of various ranks hastily assembled, and a terrifying force began to coalesce.
At that moment, the sky seemed to echo with thunderous roars. A tremendous pressure suddenly descended upon the Dragon Guard, shrouding Wyvern Ridge.
“What’s happening?”
Wherever it passed, the earth quivered, all things fell silent, and the space itself distorted.
From a distance, it appeared as if the sky had been covered, blocking out the bright sunlight. The shadow of the sword aura enveloped the entire mountain range.
The sky, now completely darkened, sent shivers through everyone present. Under the oppressive weight of what felt like a colossal mountain, they all stood frozen, motionless, and breathless.
“This sword technique-I call it the Draconic Edge. I hope that there will be lasting peace from now on, and the world will be free from any more conflicts or troubles.”
At this moment, an ethereal voice resonated throughout the sky and earth, accompanying the astonishing sword aura that descended upon Wyvern Ridge.
“Quick! Activate the mountain protection array!”
Elder Lucius was the first to react, issuing a panicked and desperate cry. However, everything was already too late. The sword aura was simply too fast, taking only a few short seconds from its appearance to its arrival.
When the Guild members regained their senses, the colossal sword aura descended heavily, cleaving through the entire Dragon Guard. A deafening sound echoed, and the sword aura slashed apart the once extravagant Dragon Guard.
Magnificent buildings crumbled into dust, including Elder Lucius and other Dragon Guard warriors, who disintegrated without a trace beneath the impact of the sword aura.
Another earth-shattering sound followed. The sword aura that annihilated the Dragon Guard and its residual force continued to descend, striking Wyvern Ridge with incredible force. The vast Wyvern Ridge was directly split in two by the sword aura, reaching deep into the underground.
The vital force concealed beneath Wyvern Ridge did not escape unscathed and was severed by the sword aura. As the vital force of the land fractured, crystalline energy surged from within the cracks and ascended to the highest realms.
Gradually, it transformed into five streams of radiant light, dispersing into various corners of the world and fading into obscurity.
