“What did you say?” Amidst the rising tension, Dustin’s expression swiftly transformed.
He responded with resolve, “Rufus is stationed far away in West Lucozia, commanding a formidable force with
numerous skilled protectors. How do you propose to confront him?”
Though the Dragon Guard wielded considerable influence, the West Lucozian monarchy proved to be a formidable
adversary. They had tolerated this thorn for years, likely out of fear or caution.
As long as Rufus stood firm, the West Lucozian monarchy remained secure. It would dissuade the Dragon Guard
from any bold moves.
From Nestor’s words, it seemed the situation had shifted.
“Your Grace, times have changed.”

monarchy. If we calculate the time, that day is coming soon.”
“What exactly do you want?” Dustin demanded.
“Your Grace, you don’t need to worry about these matters. Besides, you won’t leave here alive today,” Nestor
replied nonchalantly.
“Hmph! You want to kill me? It will not be so easy!” Dustin remarked icily. ” Even if you have an ambush, I’m not
fighting alone. My reinforcements are on their way, and the outcome is still uncertain!”
“Your Grace, the Dragon Guard has seen through your plans long ago. Your so-called reinforcements probably
won’t arrive today. Now, you are like a turtle in a jar,” Nestor said calmly.
“Haha… Logan, did you expect this? Despite your extraordinary talent and strength, you are still facing imminent
death!” Anders couldn’t help but mock.
The renowned 10th-ranked expert from the Astonishing World List has personally entered the fray, supported by a
formidable force of a hundred thousand elite soldiers from the outer city. Now, Logan faced a dire struggle, testing
his concealed strengths in the heat of battle.
“Even if I die, I will take a piece of you with me!” Suddenly, Dustin raised his hand and shouted, “Celestial Blade!”
With a single phrase, a sudden torrent of black aura cascaded from the skies. Where it traversed, eerie echoes
reverberated, slicing through the air like a spectral curtain. Its astounding speed left behind a lingering trail of
ghostly afterimages.
When the black aura hovered above Dustin’s head, it emitted a faint resonance, carrying a formidable pressure as
it descended.
Observing this, everyone instinctively took a step back and was cautious of its potential impact.

However, rather than dodge or evade, Dustin calmly seized the black aura. Only then did everyone discern its true
form-it was indeed a black sword. The sword emanated a mysterious radiance, enveloped in an icy aura, and it was
clearly not an ordinary weapon.
“Nice sword.” Nestor smiled faintly. ” But Your Grace, relying on this sword alone to break out of the encirclement
might be quite challenging.”
“Whether I can or not, you’ll know soon enough.” Dustin slowly raised the sword, pointing it at Nestor, “Today, you’ll
witness the power of the Celestial Blade!”
The black sword trembled, making a buzzing sound as if responding to something.
“Take him down.” Nestor gave the order without much explanation.
“Charge!” With a resounding and earth -shattering battle cry, the hundred thousand elite troops surged forward like
waves, one wave after another, converging on Dustin.
The battle of life and death had officially begun. Meanwhile, a swordsman in white attire was soaring through the
sky a hundred miles away, moving at an incredible speed, covering a hundred yards in a single step.
