The next mont!
"Aaahhh!"
A scream ca from Cedric’s mouth as flas engulfed his entire body.
In the midst of the fla, he turned to ash.
Only a ring was left, emitting an unusual glow.
It was a golden ring, not inlaid with any gemstones, but exquisitely crafted and covered in intricate patterns.
Jason walked over, picked up the ring with ease, and his nostrils twitched slightly.
"It slls good!"
Just before, when Cedric had co close, Jason had already sensed that hint of malice.
And the ring in his hand had further confird the other’s location.
Added to that was the display of his talent in swordsmanship at the break of dawn.
Everything was just so appropriate.
"Cedric?"
The old instructor looked at the fading figure in the flas, his voice reflecting his surprise.
"You knew him?"
Jason asked.
"Hmm, a smart-aleck,"
The old instructor nodded in assessnt, then took another thorough look at Jason.
His eyes were full of admiration following the surprise.
He found that Jason was truly a continuously surprising individual.
Though he had already estimated him highly, Jason quickly shattered those estimations.
And not just once.
It was several tis in succession.
Especially ’that one sword’ just now!
It had already surpassed what was common.
It no longer fell within the realm of normalcy.
It carried a faint feeling of Transcendence!
That was what he had been pursuing, yet failed to achieve.
Now appearing in Jason, what did it indicate?
Jason’s talent for swordsmanship had long surpassed that of ordinary people!
It wasn’t rely a talent for swordsmanship, but... genius!
Yes, a genius of swordsmanship!
Soday he would indeed beco a Transcendent master of the sword!
The old instructor silently made this evaluation in his heart and went on to introduce Cedric in detail.
"Cedric was the leader of those vampires in Cherry City. His strength was decent, his ambition great. In the whole ’Golden Wind,’ he could be considered mid-level, aligning with other dark creatures and a few detestable beings to form the upper echelons of Cherry City’s ’Golden Wind.’" ꞦÀΝỗ₿Ęs̩
"It?"
Jason was paying attention to how the old instructor referred to Cedric.
"Of course, it. The ’Ground Reconnaissance Bureau’ emphasizes that we should acknowledge the ’humans’ within ’Golden Wind.’"
The old instructor’s face showed a hint of scorn as he stressed the last word.
Struggles for power in the shadows had been going on for decades, centuries, even hundreds of years.
Were it not for an external enemy suddenly proving too powerful, how could they possibly have united?
And even united, how could they truly live together in peace and friendship?
Maintaining such superficial peace was probably already the limit.
Learning more about the world before him, Jason thought quietly to himself.
"Of course, there are still so decent folks in there."
"They can be called friends."
"But definitely not Cedric, that bastard."
The old instructor said, then his gaze drifted off into the distance.
A burly man with a rugged face, powerfully built, was heading towards them.

As he ran, all four limbs touched the ground, moving with both hands and feet, accelerating at an exceptional speed.
From his appearance in sight to arriving in front of Jason, it took rely a few seconds.
"That’s right, Cedric is a bastard."
This man had exceptional hearing, having heard the old instructor’s assessnt of Cedric from a kiloter away.
Then, he turned towards Jason, gave him a thumbs up with a smile. Beneath the morning sun, as he smiled, his teeth shone brilliantly.
"Well done, Jason."
"You’re now a friend of mine, Nosa," said Nosa.
Then Nosa stood up straight and saluted the old instructor formally.
"Instructor."
Nosa greeted respectfully.
The old instructor simply smiled, raised his hand, and powerfully patted Nosa’s shoulder.
He had taught him when he was still human.
And now, though he was no longer human, he still managed to control himself and maintain his bottom line, which in the eyes of the old instructor was enough.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sincere patting made Nosa grit his teeth.
Although he had beco a Werewolf and his body was several tis stronger than when he was human, and he was improving every day, he still found the instructor’s ’affection’ tough to bear.
The instructor had grown stronger!
Feeling the strength in the old instructor’s palms, Nosa couldn’t help but think.
And then, his gaze shifted back to Jason.
Jason was also strong!
Otherwise, he couldn’t have taken out Cedric with a single sword strike!
Even though that bastard Cedric had strength, he indeed had so.
And that sword strike just now... was it swordsmanship?
Accustod to fighting with his body, Nosa was full of doubt and couldn’t help but look towards the instructor.
"Of course!"
"That was swordsmanship!"
The old instructor said with certainty.
"But where is the sword?"
Nosa looked puzzled at Jason, who was barehanded.
"No sword in hand, yet a sword in the heart."
"With a sword in the heart, you can slash through anything."
Jason said indifferently.
"So that’s how it is."
After nodding slightly, the old instructor’s face took on a thoughtful expression.
Scratching his head in total confusion, Nosa didn’t disturb the old instructor; instead, he waved towards Delbon.
"Leader Nosa."
Delbon, who had been minimizing his presence from the very beginning, smiled again at this mont.
He too was startled by Jason’s sword strike.
He had always thought Jason was deceiving him, that all the talk of swordsmanship talent and being exceptional were lies.
But who would have thought it was actually true!
And that sword strike was so strong!
Swift!
Sharp!
It seed just like light!
Even Cedric, the vampire leader, was reduced to ash by a single strike!
He used a knife, but the strongest was the sword?
Is this what they call a hidden trump card?
But is it okay to reveal such a trump card like this?
Delbon couldn’t help thinking and inadvertently glanced towards where Cedric had been reduced to ashes.
Almost instantly, he thought of sothing.
A revealed trump card naturally can no longer be a trump card.
But what if only half of this trump card was revealed?
What if the 25-ter long Light Sword wasn’t whole?
What if it was 40 ters?
What if it was even longer?
Thinking this, Delbon couldn’t help but sigh.
"So it’s like that."
Imdiately, Delbon introduced Nosa to Jason with an even more respectful attitude.
"Leader Nosa is from the ’Unyielding Copper,’ but due to an accident was infected with werewolf poison, then due to another accident beca the leader of the Cherry City werewolves. It’s also because of Leader Nosa that in the past 20 years, there hasn’t been a single incident of werewolves harming people in Cherry City."
Accidents?
Jason subconsciously glanced at the old instructor, deep in thought.
He didn’t believe that accidents happened so frequently to the sa person.
"Mr. Jason, the ssages have all been sent. Everyone is very interested in the corpse of ’Assaulter’ from Sabi Star and are rapidly approaching. Do you have any other instructions?"
Delbon asked.
"When will they arrive?"
Jason inquired.
The arrival of these people ant that the ’Golden Wind’ plan had already comnced.
Jason was already impatient.
Saliva involuntarily secreted in his mouth.
Jason struggled to resist the urge to eat the ’ring’ in his hand.
"Any mont now!"
Delbon replied.
And just as Delbon finished speaking, the ground next to Jason began to tremble, and a small, humanoid creature with green skin, dressed in neat overalls, erged from the ground.
From the nearby dense woods, a man covered in leaves with ssy hair and beard ca out from a large tree.
Then, in the sky, several huge eagles suddenly appeared, and when they landed on the treetops, their eagle heads turned into human heads—all of them females, who then stood up stretching their bodies.
Whoosh!
Amidst the swift sound of cutting air, several witches riding on brooms appeared near Cherry City.
Behind them, on the ground, a group of monsters was running wildly.
There were globules of jelly, humanoid creatures with bull horns, and more green-skinned humanoids with slightly more ferocious faces and disheveled attire.
And this was only part of it.
Even more monstrous creatures were gathering here.
As these creatures amassed, Jason could not help but twitch his nostrils.
Delicious!
So delicious!
A jumble of different delectable scents wafted from certain items on these creatures.
Or perhaps the creatures themselves were fragrant.
When they all converged, it was like a flood overwhelming Jason’s sense of sll.
The very next mont—
Unable to hold back any longer, Jason parted his lips.
Between the sharp teeth, saliva dripped and stretched.
Before the ’Golden Wind,’ should he enjoy a hearty ’breakfast’?
