Hearing Daniel's words, both Icarus and Cyr were montarily stunned.
They hadn't expected Daniel to say sothing like that…
However, since it was just about modifying the ship, it wasn't too big of a deal.
Cyr was relatively unconcerned.
But Icarus…
He had a lot more to think about.
After about half a month, the ship finally arrived at Storm City.
During this ti, the two had been tirelessly working, and just before reaching Storm City, they successfully finished renovating the ship.
It was a massive city.
From afar, Daniel could see a massive black storm raging behind the towering city walls.
Chaotic energy was seeping from the storm.
The ship landed, and the group entered Storm City normally.
Most of the people here were Earth God-level mages or higher.
The majority had co to search for rare resources within the storm.
Even though the place was extrely dangerous,
Filled with destructive energy,
It also produced rare and powerful treasures.
For example, so unique resources could only be found here.
"After Rose's Destruction Sword Strike, this place beca a Forbidden Zone for Life. Only when the Three Great Sanctuaries intervene can people enter safely for a limited ti."
"In addition, there is a special kind of entity here. I call them Specters."
"Specters?"
"Yes. They're… sothing akin to ghosts."
"What exactly are they?"
Daniel looked at Kaylyn, puzzled.
"From my research, these Specters are the lingering souls of dead mages. Because of the unique environnt here, their souls absorbed so kind of foreign substance, allowing them to exist in a different form."
"Inside these Specters, there's sothing called Spirit Flas."
"By eliminating them, one can obtain Spirit Flas, which can enhance ntal power."
"This is one of the most valuable resources in this area."
Rose's sword didn't just bring destruction.
This harsh environnt also led to the creation of new, unique entities.
"These Specters are indeed interesting. I once saw a mory fragnt inside one of them."
At that mont, Cyr chid in.
The group entered Storm City.
Inside the city, it was lively.
Almost everywhere, one could see Earth God mages.
Daniel could sense that if it weren't for Storm City's magic array,
The place would have long been consud by chaos.
Since it was so close to the Destruction Domain,
It was constantly at risk.
Daniel wandered through Storm City.
At the mont, he didn't have any Mana Stones,
But that wasn't a problem.
The Three Holy Lords were wealthy.
So Daniel entered one of the largest stores in the city.
Through the shopkeeper's introduction,
Daniel got a firsthand look at Spirit Flas—
And another unique resource called Destruction Stones.
The forr was exactly as Kaylyn had described.
It ca from Specters and could enhance ntal power when absorbed.
However, so Spirit Flas contained fragnts of a mage's mories.
Broken mories.
As for Destruction Stones,
They were native to the Destruction Domain.
But functionally, they were similar to Mana Stones—
They could be used for breakthroughs.
However, unlike Mana Stones, Destruction Stones were also infused with soul-enhancing properties, much like Spirit Flas.
After getting a general understanding,
Daniel started looking for Freya.
When he arrived at Blue Jade Guild's local branch,
He finally got news of her whereabouts.
As it turned out,
Freya had left the guild's branch a short while ago.
She had been recruited by another sanctuary.
Daniel turned to look at Cyr.
Yes.
The sanctuary that took Freya was none other than Cyr's Spirit Beast Sanctuary.
"Is that really what happened? Maybe… she simply chose to join…"
Cyr tried to explain.
But before she could finish, the elder in charge cut her off with an angry voice.
"Are you kidding ?! You must be new to Storm City. That so-called Spirit Beast Sanctuary is rotting to the core! Everyone in the city knows it!"
"Just two months ago, Freya accidentally revealed her Unicorn Bloodline. The mont the Spirit Beast Sanctuary found out, they imdiately forced her to join their ranks!"
"Despicable!"
The elder spat at the end.
"They… really did that?"
"Of course! Girl, if you don't believe , just ask around! That Spirit Beast Sanctuary—they don't do anything good. They're completely corrupt!"
"Storm City has been suffering because of them for ages! Many mages are fed up with them!"

"..."
The elder then began listing all the horrible things the Spirit Beast Sanctuary had done in Storm City.
So of them were so disgusting that even Cyr instinctively turned to look at Daniel.
She saw Daniel's brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Now, Cyr's face also darkened.
A year ago, she had purged a lot of the corruption from the Spirit Beast Sanctuary.
But she never expected…
That in Storm City, sothing like this would still be happening.
"Where is Freya now?"
"She should be at the Spirit Beast Sanctuary's Storm City Branch."
"I heard their branch leader is a Spirit Beast with Unicorn Bloodline. He seems to have special interest in Freya… It's disgusting!"
Hearing this, Cyr was on the verge of tears.
Along the way, she had learned a little about Freya's past.
Freya's tragedy was caused by her father.
And now, in Storm City, another Unicorn Bloodline individual…
This was bad. Really bad.
"Uncle, I…"
"Co with to Spirit Beast Sanctuary."
Daniel didn't even look at Cyr this ti.
He simply spoke, his voice carrying a cold edge.
Along the way, no one spoke.
Because they knew,
Daniel was not in a good mood.
Even Cyr hadn't expected these people to be this horrible.
The Spirit Beast Sanctuary…
It was filled with Spirit Beasts, yes.
But these Spirit Beasts were not all peaceful—
So were natural enemies of each other.
Cyr had been working hard to maintain balance.
But she never thought…
That the Storm City branch would deliver such a severe blow to her reputation.
Cyr hurriedly walked up beside Daniel, anxiously saying:
"Uncle, it's my fault! I… I failed you!"
"I will make sure those bastards are dealt with!"
"You better," Daniel said coldly.
"I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again in the future."
"Understood, Uncle."
"And if you don't know how to lead, then go learn how! Got it?"
"Yes!"
Cyr raised her head to look at Daniel.
She realized—
Daniel wasn't as angry as she had imagined.
"Uncle… you're not furious?"
"Furious? Not really. Freya revealed her Unicorn Bloodline herself—I believe that was her own choice."
"Right now, I just want to see who exactly is responsible for this. I made a promise to her once."
Monts later, the group arrived at the Spirit Beast Sanctuary's branch.
They saw that the entire place was decorated for a celebration.
"Who are you? Today is the wedding day of our Erald Kirin Branch Leader! No outsiders allowed!"
A Spirit Beast at the entrance barked.
Daniel turned to look at Cyr.
Cyr imdiately took out a token.
The mont the two Spirit Beasts saw it, they dropped to their knees, trembling.
"Tell Erald Kirin to co see ."
Cyr commanded.
"Y-Yes!"
Monts later, a man dressed in a groom's outfit hurried out.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
Erald Kirin bowed his head.
"I ask you—two months ago, did you forcibly take a woman with Unicorn Bloodline?"
Cyr questioned.
"Yes!"
"Where is she?"
"In… in the bridal chamber."
Erald Kirin lowered his head.
He could feel the rage in Cyr's voice.
He did not dare to hide anything.
