It wasn’t that his skill was particularly formidable. Rather, they were all too familiar with his energy flow. His inner strength stemmed from the same lineage as theirs, yet his mastery seemed even purer.

Gautier clasped his hands toward them with a smile. “Both of you stand unmatched in martial arts. Now that you’ve joined our assembly, one of you will take down Emmanuel tomorrow, and the other will eliminate Yorick. You’ll be hailed as national heroes. What could be more glorious?”

The hauntingly beautiful strains of music pulled everyone’s attention upward, disrupting Gautier’s

momentum.

A grand wooden pavilion stood perched on the mountainside, an exquisite structure that seemed to float above the cliff

of Divine Mountain. Recently built, it was a marvel of craftsmanship, as though an ethereal sanctuary had taken shape in midair.
