Chapter 660: All-out war
After successfully fusing their Half-Step Legend demon souls into their hearts, the powers of Fafnir and Ouroboros increased dramatically, elevating the duo to new heights and filling them with great confidence.
Not wasting much time after achieving this breakthrough, they immediately left Vlad’s residence and headed directly to Elder Damian to obtain their promised bloodlines. Once done, they swiftly returned to the battlefield, eager to test their newly enhanced strength against powerful foes.
As for Vlad, he maintained a disciplined and methodical routine. He would spend one full week battling fiercely within the perilous Howling Chasm, steadily improving both his combat skills and his dominion over the formidable Law of Space.
During the following week, Vlad would retreat into solitude within his residence, diligently refining his Runic Master abilities. He tirelessly perfected his Demon Cages, engraving new ones for individuals sent by Janus and Agamenon, while regularly visiting Marshal Maximo’s castle to engrave enhanced Darkness Devouring Runic Formations on wounded warriors.
Vlad carried on with this rigorous schedule for several weeks, consistently advancing in every aspect. One day, in the midst of intense rune experiments, he received a sudden message through the communication crystal stored inside his space ring.
"Report to the Marshal’s castle in two days and four hours."
Vlad was caught slightly off-guard by the abrupt summons. Although curious, he understood that any speculation would be pointless, and answers would naturally come once he arrived. Thus, he returned to his research, patiently waiting for the designated moment.
Two days passed quickly. Vlad rose from his residence early, calmly stepping out and making his way toward the Marshal’s castle. As he traversed the usually quiet inner circle of the Golden Sky Fortress, he noticed many other Sages also moving in the same direction.
Normally, the inner circle had a very sparse population since only the most elite warriors and cultivators were allowed residence there. The sudden appearance of numerous Sages piqued Vlad’s curiosity. As he watched them, he realized that they all seemed to be heading towards the Marshal’s castle as well.
