It hadn’t been long since Kurtis and his son were executed by Divine Drakebane when yet another shocking piece of news erupted across the internet byghtfall: the Clerys had been wiped out.

The revelation spread like wildfire, dominating trending topics on every major platform. Soon enough, the Dark Web confirmed it: the Clerys’s annihilation was the handiwork of Divine Drakebane, the legendary assassin.

It was revenge. Retribution for the massacre of the Dragon Manor two decades ago.

However, that wasn’t the end of it. The Dark Web went on to announce the next targets, the Rivers family and the Northern Star Sword School.

The moment the news dropped, the internet was ablaze with speculation. People dissected every possible outcome, theories ran wild, and even underground gambling companies saw an opportunity. Wagers were placed on how this revenge saga would unfold, turning the entire event into a spectacle as hyped as the most explosive World Cup in history.

The sheer scale of the uproar finally forced the upper echelons of Sakurania to take the matter seriously. Initially content to observe from the sidelines, the authorities now found themselves divided over how to respond.

One faction believed Divine Drakebane’s vendetta was nothing more than an underworld feud–an affair of personal grievances best left to resolve itself. As long as civilians and national security remained unaffected, there was no need for interference. This was a common practice in martial society matters.

Meanwhile, the opposing faction saw it differently. They argued that allowing Divine Drakebane to freely execute revenge on their land was unacceptable. The Rivers family and the Northern Star Sword School were powerful forces with deep–rooted influence. If the government stood idly by, they would be dissatisfied.

Yet, those in favor of non–interference issued a grave warning. If Sakurania used force against Divine Drakebane, the assassin might reveal a buried truth from 20 years ago. The massacre at the Dragon Manor hadn’t been the work of one or two factions alone. The Rivers family, the Clerys, the Northern Star Sword School, and even certain dark world sects had all played a role, infiltrating Draconia to carry out their brutal slaughter.

If that truth came to light, the consequences for Sakurania would be dire.

Then, there was another chilling rumor. It was said that Divine Drakebane possessed an ancient artifact of unimaginable power, one long sought after by the top sects of the dark world. Its full destructive capability remained unknown, but whispers claimed its might was beyond anything the world had seen. Yet, no one knew exactly how destructive this ancient relic was.

Not everyone was convinced. Skeptics dismissed the so–called ancient artifact as nothing more than a relic -a cold weapon from a bygone era. No matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t possibly rival modern aircraft, artillery, and heavy weaponry.

However, came an argument that sent chills down the spines of those in the room. What if he possessed something far worse? A weapon capable of wiping out the entire planet in an instant. If such a weapon truly existed, then a mere island nation like Sakurania was nothing more than a speck of dust.

If they provoked a man whose soul had long been consumed by vengeance, what was stopping him from unleashing destruction?

Sure, there was a possibility that he didn’t have direct control over the device. But what if he did? What if he could erase Sakurania from existence with just a press of a button?

With the weight of this terrifying possibility looming over them, the nation’s high–ranking officials debated fiercely, locked in discussion for an entire afternoon.

By the end of it, they reached a unanimous decision: stay out of Divine Drakebane’s way. Observe from the shadows, and act only when necessary.

Archona District, Nucno. Rivers Manor.

In the grand hall of Rivers Manor sat Sheldon–Rivers at the front of the room, his expression cold and unreadable. To his right sat his eldest son, Cooper Rivers.

On his left sat an elderly man, his white hair flowing like an ancient river of wisdom. He was Juan Denver, the Northern Star Sword School’s master and Cynthia’s mentor.

Sheldon furrowed his brows. “Master Denver,

“The Clerys had Master Lysaght, along with over a hundred elite warriors defending their estate. And yet, they still couldn’t stop Divine Drakebane. Kurtis and his son were also slaughtered just as easily. To put it bluntly, even the most skilled Sword Master in our country wouldn’t be able to eliminate the entire Clerys, Master Lysaght, and the Folkers‘ father and son in such a short time. The reputation of Divine Drakebane is no exaggeration.”

Juan gave a slow nod. “A disciple trained by the Shadow Sect is incredible. I didn’t expect that the legendary ancient artifact, the one the World of Darkness has been searching for over the past 20 years, has been in his possession all along.”

Cooper pulled out his phone and tapped on the screen. “Master Denver, check this out.”

The video began playing. “This was recorded by one of the Clerys‘ spies. It captures the exact moment Divine Drakebane killed Master Lysaght.”

Juan let out a chuckle before he murmured to himself, This so–called spy must have been intentionally released by Divine Drakebane to report to us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let a single Clerys‘ member make it out alive with his power.” His gaze darkened.

The room fell silent as their eyes remained glued to the screen. Everyone was stunned..

The grotesque scene of the bloodthirsty Divine Drakebane played on screen for a full minute, until Gauthier’s body withered as every last drop of blood and essence was drained from him.

Sheldon jabbed a trembling finger at the jagged weapon in Divine Drakebane’s hand. “This is it! This is the legendary ancient artifact! I … I’ve waited 20 years for this moment! Hahaha!”

Yet, Juan did not share the same unrestrained glee. His face remained grave as he examined the massacre unfolding within the ruin of Clery Manor.

Juan squinted his eyes as he muttered, “He slaughtered hundreds of top–tier warriors, Such power will be enough to carve his name into a legend within the World of Darkness.”

Sheldon’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. A flicker of unease crossed his face. “Master Denver, are you

Juan scoffed, his expression hardening. “Divine Drakebane is formidable, but his technique is far too rough. With his level of martial prowess, he may be able to overwhelm second–rate swordsmen through

sheer force.”

His gaze was cold and unwavering before continued, “But martial arts is not about brute strength. It is about cultivation. Without truc cultivation, one will never reach the peak. noveldrama

“Moreover, his short blade carties too much hatred. His mind is chaotic, burdened with distractions. He lacks clarity. In front of a true master, his cultivation is nothing more than a child playing with sticks, not worth mentioning!”

Hearing this, Sheldon let out a boisterous laugh. “Wonderful! Master Denver, with you here, the Rivers family has nothing to fear!

“Divine Drakebane will undoubtedly visit the manor tonight. Master Denver, you must cut him down on the spot and claim the ancient artifact for yourself!”

I have also requested the His eyes gleamed with ambition when he added, “To ensure our suc Emperor’s support as a precaution. If we succeed tonight, the Northern Star Sect under your command will rise to become the number one sect in the world!”

Juan’s eyes flickered with an unreadable glint.

Noticing the shift in his expression, Sheldon stepped closer and lowered his voice, “Master Denver, if you obtain the ancient relic, killing Elijah will be child’s play. Once he’s gone, you will have every right to claim- the position of Northern Star Sword School leader. You will command every disciple and warrior in Sakurania.”

A slow, chilling smile crept across Juan’s face.

“Master! Ms. Rivers and the man known as Divine Drakebane have arrived at the manor gates!” A house servant rushed in, clutching a communication device.

Before Sheldon could even process the news, Robin stormed in from outside, flanked by Daphne and Rita.

“Cynthia! You haven’t returned to the manor in years, and this is how you behave? Where are your manners?” His eyes flicked between her and Juan. “You stand before your grandfather and your master, yet you show no respect! What kind of attitude is this?” Sheldon scolded coldly.

Cynthia let out a cold laugh. “Grándpa, Master, do you expect me to bow to either of you? Do you even deserve it?”
