【6… 5…】

The Systems countdown was drowned out by Roels roars as he went on his final rampage.

Roel had no idea who Grandar was exactly, and it was likely that no one else in the world knew anything about him anymore.

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that the spell Grandar had given him was extremely powerful.

He was even able to gain the upper hand against the powerful Felder, albeit only for 30 seconds.

Under Roels relentless barrage of attacks, Felder quickly found himself suppressed.

Roels stats were actually only average except for his tremendous burst power, but this burst power was more than enough to curb Felder in close-quarters combat.

It was fortunate that Felder was a veteran fighter with skills and agility far above Roels, allowing him to stand his ground against the overpowered Roel in the short-run.

Despite being overpowered by a child, Felder wasnt too worried, for he knew that Roels burst of power could only be sustained for a very short period of time.

Power and cost were two sides of the same coin in this world.

Felder had seen Roels true strength earlier, and the latter should only be Origin Level 6.

Most likely, the reason why Roel could harness such great power and fight on par with him, an Origin Level 3 transcendent, was due to temporary undead reanimation of his body.

However, such a status could only be sustained for a short period of time.

Naturally, Roel wasnt oblivious to the limitations of Grandars Promise either.

It hadnt been long since he last experienced the overwhelming feeling of weakness once the spell duration ended.

So, he knew that he would be rendered powerless if he couldnt end the battle within 30 seconds.

In truth, when he failed to force Felder to retreat within the first 10 seconds, he had already known that he wouldnt be able to win the fight before time ran out.

Nevertheless, he still continued to fight with all his might because he believed that he would be able to catch someones attention.

And he was right.

As the countdown was about to hit zero, just like how heroes always appeared at the final moment, a mans voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

1 reply – 1 hour ago

“Child, you did well.

Hextongue: Center of Gravity.”

From the moment he heard those words, Roel knew that his gamble had paid off.

At the same time, Grandars Promise also finally came to an end.

However, Felder was in no position to continue his offense anymore.

There was a peculiar mana reaction occurring on the armor he was wearing.

When he raised his head, he saw arrows and bloodied swords flying toward him from all directions.

“Bastard! Are these little tricks all youre capable of, Ponte!”

Felder furiously released his mana as the blood mist around him billowed.

He glared at the smiling black-haired man standing in front of the boy he had been fighting against.

Ponte Ascart, one of the powerhouses of the Saint Mesit Theocracy, as well as the leading figure of Princess Victorias forces.

When the two esteemed marquesses of the Theocracy locked eyes with one another, the atmosphere suddenly grew so fiery that it looked as if something big was going to happen.

“Ponte, that boy is a heretic!”

“What about it Are you interested in him, Marquess Felder”

Ponte chuckled lightly at the infuriated golden-haired knight.

He grabbed the exhausted Roel with his right hand while waving his left hand casually.

Book pages suddenly manifested out of thin air and fluttered around him in huge quantities.

“Pardon me for being unable to accompany you for long.

As you can see, Marquess Felder, I am a busy man.”

Before Felder could respond, Roels line of sight was already covered with the book pages fluttering around him and Ponte.

The sounds of the battlefield swiftly grew muffled before disappearing altogether.

By the time the pages finally scattered apart, he found himself in the heart of Victorias faction.

“Teacher!”

“Roel!”

The voices of two women sounded in the ears of the Ascart boys.

Victoria visibly heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that Ponte had successfully made his retreat whereas Nora leaped right toward Roel and embraced him tightly.

“Ouch! Nora, it hurts!”

Having used Grandars Promise twice with barely any rest, Roels body was aching everywhere, and Noras tight hug nearly sent him into the arms of the Maker.

Nora quickly loosened her grip upon hearing his exclamation.

“S-sorry, I didnt do it intentionally.”

Nora couldnt contain her worry and began examining Roel from head-to-toe to check on his condition.

Seeing this, Victoria couldnt help but shoot a deep look at Roel.

This child sure is adorable.

Somehow, he seems to resemble teacher quite a bit.

However, Noras response seems to be…

Victoria turned her gaze toward Nora with a contemplative look in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Ponte had gotten back to work.

“Theres no need to save our supplies! Archers, cover the retreating soldiers! Everyone, were retreating!”

Ponte didnt let loose just because he had returned back to safety.

He began channeling his mana into the colorful gemstone, causing the gem to glow brilliantly.

The fog all around swiftly grew thicker at a visible pace.

The crimson lightning summoned by Wade was still trying its best to ward off the prowess of the labyrinth, but it was almost like trying to keep the rain at bay by lighting up a campfire.

Both Wade and Ponte were Origin Level 3 transcendents, but Ponte had a decisive advantage due to the differences in equipment and terrain.

Wade didnt stand a chance at all.

Victorias forces made full use of the concealment of the thick fog to retreat.

It was obvious that the soldiers had been specially instructed beforehand from how they showed no hesitation in forsaking their weapons and turning tail to flee desperately.

It was baffling to see those soldiers willingly casting aside their precious equipment, but admittedly, it was effective.

Nearly all of the soldiers who were still able to move managed to make their escape.

Unyielding perseverance for survival, this was the most valuable quality for the weaker Victorias forces at the moment.

Sensing that they had finally managed to shake the enemy off their tail, Ponte heaved a sigh of relief.

His breathing audibly became heavier, showing that he had indeed exerted himself significantly from diving into the heart of the battle twice and forcefully activating the labyrinth artifact.

However, compared to the other member of the Ascart House present, he was at least in a much more acceptable condition.

Roel had been trudging forward under Noras support all this while, but after seeing that the enemy troops were nowhere in sight anymore, the obstinacy pulling him together finally snapped.

He succumbed to the severe fatigue and passed out against Noras shoulder.

A day later, in the Labyrinth Villa.

“Is that child still in the room”

Standing by the windows of the lounge, Ponte glanced at Victoria, who was closing the metal door after entering the room, and enquired about the conditions of the two children.

Victoria nodded her head in response.

“I asked her, but she doesnt want to come out.

It hasnt been long since her bloodline awakening ended…”

“Whats her name again How old is she”

“Nora, 10 years old.”

Ponte looked out of the window silently while deliberating over her words.

Victoria slowly made her way over to his side.

“Silver Bloodline at 10 years old That must be rare even for your lineage.”

“Indeed… At the very least, her talents surpass both mine and Wades,” replied Victoria with a bitter smile.

This was the first time that she was unable to match up to someone else in terms of talent.

“Is it fine I mean, for one of your kin to possess so much potential.”

“Im not particularly interested in the pursuit of power.

The presence of more talents in the Xeclyde House is good news to me.

Teacher, shouldnt you know this the best”

Victoria sighed deeply.

She was suddenly reminded of her twin brother, Wade.

The two of them had been so alike before their mother passed away, but in the short span of a few years, everything had changed.

“Speaking of which, Victoria, dont you think that… theres something peculiar about the two children”

Ponte was a little hesitant when he spoke those words, and Victoria also didnt respond to his question right away either.

Instead, the latter fell deep in thought.

Indeed, theres something amiss with those two children, especially their clothes.

The fact that they are wearing such luxurious, noble clothing goes to show that they arent forgotten, illegitimate children wandering on the streets.

Instead, its more likely that they were entrusted to some noble house to raise.

But, if thats the case, I should have already heard about them by now, especially given their conspicuous appearances.

“Youre right.

Its one thing for an offspring of the royal family to be here, but its far too much of a coincidence for a child from teachers house to be here too.

Not to mention, they are even acquainted with one another.”

Is it the norm for wandering illegitimate children to huddle together with one another for warmth nowadays

Such a thought inexplicably surfaced in Victorias mind, but she quickly shook her head to refute it.

On the other hand, Ponte maintained his silence as he pondered about the matter more deeply.

In his view, it wasnt unthinkable for the Ascart House to have descendants out on the streets, especially since there were several preceding patriarchs who had suddenly gone missing.

No, what really intrigued him were the abilities and equipment the child possessed.

Ponte stroked the short sword lying next to him and remarked.

“The fact that the boy named Roel is in possession of Ascendwing goes to show that His Eminence Ryan is already aware of their existence.

Its just a pity that His Eminence isnt in the capital at the moment, or else we would have been able to consult him on this matter.”

“I really dont know what my father is thinking of…”

Victoria and Pontes train of thoughts were getting further and further away from the truth.

The most pitiful one of all was probably Holy Eminence Ryan, who, despite being far away in the Austine Empire, was being viewed with scorn by his daughter forsecretly harboring an illegitimate child.

“Still, I must say that Im surprised that the child of your Ascart House was able to hold Felder off for so long.”

“You saw it”

“Of course! All of the soldiers standing on the frontlines saw it.

That child fought off the enemy general in the heart of the battlefield! I am certain that this matter has already spread far and wide amongst the soldiers.”

Victoria offered a rare high compliment toward the prowess Roel displayed on the battlefield.

On the other hand, however, Pontes expression grew a little grim.

The other soldiers had been kept at bay due to the shockwaves produced by the collision between Roel and Felders swords, but Ponte had caught a clear glimpse into Roels powers.

“That ability of his originates from a heretical cult.

You should be aware of that too, right”

“So what My mother was a heretic too, but does that mean that shes evil Teacher, are you trying to sound me out here”

“No, Im just worried that youll feel uncomfortable about this.”

“Why would I feel uncomfortable about this Besides, Nora and that childs relationship…”

A warm smile crept onto Victorias lips as she spoke.

Thislittle sister of hers had rushed over to Roels side to stand by him despite barely getting out of danger herself.

The emotions that drove such actions were something Victoria herself could deeply relate with.

She turned to look at her companion beside her with a stare so intent that it made Ponte cough in discomfort.

“The two of them appear to have gone through numerous crises with one another, I can tell that their feelings run deep.

Teacher, dont you think that their situation is very similar to ours”

“I-I dont think so I-I already have a family.”

“A family, huh Are you referring to your wife-in-name whom you have not met for almost a decade now”

After rendering Ponte speechless with her cutting words, Victoria turned her head away with a cold harrumph.

She shot a glance at the room the two children were in, and somehow, she saw shadows of her and Ponte in them.

I wonder if I can make this old tree flower if I could pair those two children together.

Victoria glanced at the man beside her as her thoughts began to wander.
