”Did he leave just like that?” The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect left, and so did Thomas. Only James remained. Standing on the top of Mount Olympus, which had been reduced to rubble, James scanned his surroundings. He stroked his chin, deep in thought. He was suspicious of the Sect Leader’s identity. “Fragrance… Soft and smooth skin… Woman… Malevolent Sword… Thea?” All clues pointed to one person─Thea Callahan. Thea possessed the Malevolent Sword. He saw her wielding the sword multiple times. However, he dismissed those thoughts immediately. He found the very idea itself preposterous. How did Thea become so strong? It was impossible. He planned to question Thea upon his return to Sol. Thea had secretly returned after leaving. She was concerned about James’ safety but she did not show herself. Instead, she concealed herself in the shadows. Seeing that Lucjan and the Blood Emperor had escaped and Thomas had shown himself, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wearing a

He did not wish to return. He only wanted to perish here. “E-Excalibur is the faith of all Knights. Young man of Sol, I-I hope you will reforge Excalibur.” Upon hearing this, James frowned. He had other matters to deal with and did not have time to reforge a broken sword. “P-Promise me…” Koehler pleaded. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was dead. James looked at Koehler, whose body went limp, and sighed. Paying no heed to him, he stood up to leave. The moment he stood up, Callan approached him. “You’re here.” “Mhm.” Callan nodded and glanced at Koehler who lay motionless on the ground and said coldly, “His hands are filled with Solean blood. A century ago, many of our comrades died at his hands. You were right not to promise him anything.” “I don’t have time for Excalibur,” James said. “However…” In the next breath, Callan said, “Once you possess Excalibur, you will gain the ability to control the Knights. They are a powerful force. If you can get th

“James Caden…” Just as Polaris beckoned for James to follow him, a few armored knights walked over to them and stopped James from leaving. James turned his head. He knew they were Koehler’s knights in a single glance. “Is something the matter?” He asked. A knight asked, “James, how was the situation on Mount Olympus? How’s Koehler Keyes? Is he dead or alive?” “He’s dead.” James continued, “He was nearing his end, anyway. Even without the battle, he wouldn’t live for long. During that fierce battle, he used up all of his strength, which caused his power to dissipate. Besides, he also suffered grave injuries. He’s dead. His corpse is now lying on Mount Olympus.” Upon hearing this, a few knights staggered backward. Their faces were pale. James simply turned to leave. Meanwhile, Polaris beckoned everyone to follow him. “Everyone, feel free to come along with me to the Polaris Sect. We’ll wait for James to concoct the antidote.” “Let’s go!” “Let’s go to the Polaris Sec

James thought about it and asked, “Why is your name the same as the sect’s?” “To be honest with you, every Archbishop of the sect changes their name to ‘Polaris’.” “Oh, I see.” Realization dawned on James’ face. “James, I see that you’re a sword user. You must have learned some sword techniques before. We should exchange information about what we know with each other. To be frank, though the Polaris Sect also has a signature sword technique, no one in the sect has been able to learn it.” “Of course.” James nodded slightly. He was intrigued by the Polaris Sword Art created by the founder of the Polaris Sect. A sword technique that took thirty years of practice should not be just any ordinary sword technique. Soon, they arrived at the summit. There were many buildings there. Instead of Eyrothia-styled buildings, they were constructed in the Solean style. As the structure was ancient, they seemed to have been transported into the past from the modern era. Many martial ar

The Three Elders were Grand Sect Elders, the highest authority figures of the Polaris Sect. Theoretically speaking, even the Archbishop would have to be deferential toward them. However, the Three Elders had been sitting around doing nothing for decades. They did not concern themselves with the affairs of the sect. After a discussion with a few Sect Elders, Archbishop Polaris left the main hall and headed to the mountain behind the Polaris Sect. There was a cliff near the mountain. On the foot of the mountain, there was a simple-looking wooden house. In front of the house, three statues could be seen. Polaris appeared before the cliff and looked at the statues before him, his mind in a trance. He remembered that the last time he was here was thirty years ago. In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed. After briefly staring at the statues, he leaped into the air and flew toward the house. Soon, he arrived at the house. Upon closer inspection, Polaris realized that the stat

... Archbishop Polaris tried convincing the elderly man non-stop. He listed out the pros and cons and analyzed the current situation. After a while, the elderly man asked, “Who is this… James? How’s his character?” “Master, he’s a Solean ancient martial artist. Though he’s young, he’s really powerful. I stand no chance against him whatsoever and was easily defeated. Character-wise, he seemed to be a decent and upright man.”Polaris briefly described James. The elderly man thought about it and said, “Alright, I’ll leave this to you.” As he said that, he closed his eyes once again and continued cultivating the Deadwood Martial Technique. “Thank you, Master.” Delighted, Polaris hurriedly left. James knew nothing about the internal affairs of the Polaris Sect, nor did he ask about them. After arriving at the sect, he concentrated on healing his injuries in the manor. As his injuries were almost recuperated, his injuries completely recovered after healing for a few days.

Polaris waved slightly and a document on the table instantly flew toward James. “James, this is detailed information about Rodent. Have a look.” James received it flawlessly and opened the document. A photo was attached to the topmost part of the documents, and it was a little bit blurry. Since the man was wearing a mask and only half of his face was revealed, James could not discern his appearance. Polaris said, “Since we don’t have much time, this is the most comprehensive information I’ve compiled. Rodent is a cautious man. He always wears a mask in public spaces. This photo is the only one I obtained.” “Mhm,” James said and began scrutinizing the photo. Name: Yasser Leonard Nickname: Rodent Age: Approximately 146 years He was born in Westborough City of Sol. Losing his parents at a very young age, he incidentally obtained an Internal Martial Arts cultivation method and became an ancient martial artist. During the defensive war against foreign forces, he was a trai

”By the way, help me locate one more person.” “Delilah’s stepfather?” Archbishop Polaris asked. After investigating the matter, he found out about Delilah and James’ identities. He currently had some insider information. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “Delilah’s stepfather, Xavion Zachary. I want to see him, dead or alive. If you can’t find him, try locating the documents in his hands.” “I’ll try.” Archbishop Polaris could not be sure that he could find anything. That was because he knew that many had tried and failed. “I don’t understand, James. Is the technology in Xavion’s hands this impressive? Why is everyone searching for him?” James shrugged and said, “How would I know? I don’t work in that field. However, based on the information I received, this is a ground-breaking technological breakthrough. If realized, mankind would take a giant step forward and enter a new age.” “Let’s not rush things. I promise I’ll use everything at my disposal to help you. Now, let’s tal
