After formulating a plan, James and Callan decided to conduct a night operation.
They would go their separate ways. James would draw the attention of the guards and Lucjan away, while Callan would sneak in and save the prisoners.
In the dead silence of the night, almost all the lights in Divine Sword Villa were extinguished.
On the road to the mountain…
Swoosh!
A figure descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.
It was James.
James’ appearance immediately attracted the attention of the disciples of the Gu Sect.
“Who’s there?”
Immediately, many brandished their swords and charged toward James. As they were all at least fourth- rank grandmasters, their movements were agile. In the blink of an eye, they appeared before James.
James waved his hand, and powerful energy gathered in his palm. Then, the energy struck the disciples of the Gu Sect, who were immediately sent flying. They collapsed to the ground and writhed in pain.
“Intruder alert!” Someone yelled.
In the next instant, a wave of disciples charged out.
At that moment, Lucjan and the others were in the cavern inside the mountain. Before them was a huge furnace. Below the furnace was a volcanic crater. As this was an active volcano, magma would occasionally spurt out of the crater. However, they were blocked by the huge furnace.
It was the magma that produced energy for the furnace.
There was a two-meter-long sword in the furnace. The pattern of a dragon’s scale was carved on its hilt. At the moment, the sword, which was in the process of being forged, exuded a powerful aura.
Burble! Burble!
The magma churned.
A few men, naked from the waist up, were pulling a wind turbine with great force.
Looking at Dragonslayer which turned red in color, Lucjan smiled delightedly. “Soon, Dragonslayer will be forged. I hope that its power will not disappoint me…”
“Reporting!”
At that moment, a disciple of the Gu Sect rushed in and knelt.
Wearing a panicked expression, virtual-novel.net said, ” An intruder has infiltrated the mountain. He has already made his way in.”
“Who?!” Lucjan brandished the Blade of Justice, which exuded a golden light.
Soon, Dragonslayer would be forged. Who would have a death wish at such a critical moment?
“I-It’s James!” The disciple said.
Upon hearing this, Ezekiel’s face darkened, and virtual-novel.net muttered silently under his breath, “What is James up to?”
Though virtual-novel.net did not know what James was here for, virtual-novel.net did not want virtual-novel.net foiling his plans.
Dragonslayer had to be forged and controlled by the Blood Race. That was the only way virtual-novel.net could approach the Blood Race and infiltrate them. That way, virtual-novel.net could use the Blood Race to slay the dragon in the future.
Upon hearing this, Lucjan’s expression darkened, and virtual-novel.net cried out, “Damn it! I thought virtual-novel.net left. Why has virtual-novel.net returned?”
Looking at Ezekiel, virtual-novel.net asked, “What should we do now?”
Ezekiel, who was Thomas in disguise, was lost in contemplation.
After some time, virtual-novel.net said, “James must have made his way here after learning of your whereabouts. His objective should be to take back what’s his. In my opinion, we should return his belongings and make virtual-novel.net leave Divine Sword Villa. We can’t let virtual-novel.net interfere in our affairs.”
“No way!” Lucjan dismissed the idea.
The Primordial Sword was forged by the greatest of all blacksmiths summoned by King Quavon.
How could virtual-novel.net hand it over to James just like that?
