Celine stopped her sword from piercing forward. Her brows furrowed.At the same time, Darryl's gaze flashed as well. He asked coldly, "What secret?"Sergio took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat on his brow as he pointed behind him. "The Phoenix Feather Mountain. Someone calling himself one of the twelve Fiend Martyrs came to the Nine Mainland, saying he's looking for you."Sergio looked cautiously in Darryl's direction.'Looking for me? 'Darryl stopped in confusion before scoffing coldly. "The fiend race had always had it out for me. It's no surprise that they'd come looking for me. That hardly counts as any secret at all."As he spoke, Darryl indicated to Celine to make a move.Celine nodded, moving to raise her long sword once again."No, don't—"Sergio panicked. He waved his hands frantically. "I'm not done! I ran into a beautiful woman in a town. She was surrounded by guards, and they were all super strong."Sergio looked at Darryl. "The woman had a fiend soul too.

Even though Darryl's looks had changed, and Yvette could not tell it was him at first glance, there was no way she could have forgotten his voice. She knew it was him the second she heard it.It really was him. That man would always show up when it mattered most.Yvette was overwhelmed to the point of tears. At the same time, she was fraught with worry as she called out, "Be careful, Darryl. That Fiend Martyr's really strong. I could not take him down, even with my fiend soul.""Don't worry!"Darryl comforted her with a smile before fixing Thoth with an ice-cold stare. “We meet again, Fiend Martyr Thoth. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me, right?"Darryl's gaze grew bloodshot with fury as he spoke. "How dare you lay a finger on my love. I'm going to make you pay today."Darryl practically roared the final words, his voice ringing loud and clear throughout the entire Phoenix Feather Mountain. It sent shivers down everyone's spines, including Thoth and the royal guards.Y

Thoth whipped the Blazing Heaven Scepter around in the air. There was a blood-red ray of light that enveloped Celine completely.Thump!Sensing the power of the blood-red light, Celine bit her lip as her chest pounded in shock. She tried to dodge it, but it was too late. With a thud, she was hit squarely by the bloody light.With a harsh jerk, Celine fell from the air with a dull hum."Ugh!"Celine trembled as fresh blood sprayed from her mouth when she landed on the floor. Her exquisite features paled, and her body grew frail.Was that how powerful the fiend race was?Celine glowered at Thoth in rage and shock. That was the first time she had fought someone from the fiend race, and she finally knew how terrifyingly powerful they were."Are you alright?"Darryl rushed toward her, sweeping Celine up in one move. "Are you hurt? How are you feeling?"Darryl felt touched and guilty.He knew that Celine wanted to help him. However, Thoth was far too strong, and there was not muc

As the final word was spoken, the heavens instantly cleared from their initial darkness. The dark, rolling clouds were dyed a rich, bloody red.Following that, the flames surrounding Darryl spread out in an instant. They formed a forcefield of fire before morphing into flowers in the shape of lotus blossoms.Indeed, that was a skill that Darryl had acquired through the Red Lotus Fayette.The Great Fayette Takeover."You're dead, Thoth!"Darryl lost all control as he roared out loud. The fiery lotus blossoms condensed slowly, forming a giant ball that hurled in Thoth's direction!The air constricted whenever it made contact with the ball of fire. It looked like it was the end of the world!Crap!Thoth's expression shifted as he sensed the impossibly powerful energy in the fiery ball. Without thinking, he raised the Blazing Heaven Scepter to block the attack!The next second, the fiery ball collided heavily with the scepter. It made a deafening clash, exploding with terrifying e

Darryl frowned in silence.'What's going on here? The twelve Fiend Martyrs are here, and now the Lunaris General and the Grand Weapon.''Are they all here for me?'Darryl was still deep in contemplation as Lunaris General and his Grand Weapon descended at the Phoenix Feather Mountain summit.Lunaris General's eyes swept across the scene as his lips curled into an icy sneer. "How lively! I can't believe three of the great twelve Fiend Martyrs are here together."Lunaris General looked over at Darryl and eventually landed his eyes on Thoth. He was amazed that Thoth was injured, given how strong Thoth was.Who had done that?Was it the man with red marks all over his face?Lunaris General could not recognize Darryl because of the marks on his face, just like how it was with Yvette previously."Lunaris General?"Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Thoth growled, "This is none of your business. Take your dogs and get the h*ll out of here now!"Thoth was upset at how Lunaris Gener
