When anything evolves to its extreme, it brings fear.
Take the Southern Suburbs at this moment, for instance. Dark clouds obscured the moon, plunging the entire world into darkness. Surrounding them were desolate ruins, with various upturned ground emitting a burnt, acrid smell. Aside from the occasional sound of falling debris, there was no noise at all—an eerie silence.
A hundred meters away lay a vast expanse of massive Blackstone blocks. However, if viewed from above, one would realize that these large stones were actually neatly arranged bones. Though charred black from burning, it was still possible to discern that they belonged to a dragon—a more precise identification would be the bones of Sundgoth. The dragon bones were among the hardest materials in the world, second only to the Void Secret Rock, and thus had not turned to ash along with Sundgoth's flesh and blood. Faint red lines flowed along the black bones.
Moments passed before footsteps echoed from the deep pit.
“If you would allow me to take action… it really doesn’t have to be this troublesome,” Bai said as she supported Su Ye in walking. In the recent battle, Su Ye had been affected by the aftermath, worsening her injuries.
“Oh? Are you questioning me?” Su Ye's lazy voice replied.
“No, no!” Bai's face changed dramatically in fright as she hurriedly explained, “If that woman escapes, it might affect your transaction over there, I…”
“Are you afraid of me?” Su Ye asked with a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth. “I’ve said before that I wouldn’t let you harm our kin; I haven’t changed that habit.”
Memories flickered in Bai's eyes. The first time she met Lord Su Ye was nine years ago when she was just a young Abandoned Slave. Having secretly learned a special Fighting Spirit, she barely survived the rigorous tests of the blood clan and earned the opportunity to “serve” her master. At that time, Su Ye had already activated her Bloodline and was determined to be the closest Bloodline to the Seventh Ancestor. At just ten years old, she was already a key figure in Solomon's Castle.
Strangely enough, this person who was treated like a star among moons politely asked Bai what conditions were needed for her to become her attendant. Bai told Su Ye that she did not want to harm humans, and without a second thought, Su Ye readily agreed and granted her the immense honor of being “one beneath one” in Solomon's Castle.
In a sense, Bai was one of Su Ye’s few “friends.” Only Bai had witnessed how Su Ye single-handedly elevated Solomon's status within Thirteen Castle over the years.
However, familiarity did not equate to intimacy; it was precisely because of this deep understanding that Bai knew just how terrifying this woman truly was.
"I have already accepted the items from Fizak. How and when the mission is completed is, of course, up to me," Su Ye said calmly, responding to the earlier dialogue. As for Fizak, he was the Second Prince of the Holy Empire and the mastermind behind the pursuit of Yasthia.
The two stopped in front of the Watchtower.
Su Ye cast a casual glance at the unyielding Garen, quickly averting her gaze as if she didn't care about the warrior who had just displayed astonishing power by personally slaying a Fallen Black Dragon.
Her attention shifted to the Watchtower. Even Su Ye couldn't help but marvel at it; with her abilities, she could easily discern the various magical arrays on the lighthouse and its intricate, profound designs.
"This tower's design is quite interesting; it's a pity that the materials used for its construction are so inferior," Su Ye mused, momentarily taken aback. "Oh? It's still operational?"
She observed various lights slowly flowing within the Watchtower's domain, continuously feeding into the top of the tower and being sent into a swirling vortex at the edge of dark clouds.
"Should we destroy it?" Bai's gaze turned stern. She always felt that the existence of this tower could lead to unpredictable and terrifying consequences.
As she spoke, a powerful Fighting Spirit emanated from Bai, but at that critical moment, Su Ye stopped her.
"The design of this tower doesn't resemble human craftsmanship. Those stubborn fools couldn't possibly create something of this caliber... Hmm, it resembles the style of the Gulathnia Tribe, but those ancient scholarly dwarves were wiped out during the Sunfire War in the old era... Sirinami Tribe? No, that group of underwater shark people wouldn't know how to build towers... And they disappeared over twenty thousand years ago..."
Su Ye stroked her chin thoughtfully. Due to her status, she was privy to many secrets of the continent, including those submerged in the annals of ancient history.
Bai stood respectfully by, waiting.
At that moment, Su Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. "What do you think about moving this thing into the castle?"
Bai was startled by Su Ye's sudden idea and said seriously, "Theoretically, it is feasible, but you must not fear that this lighthouse will bring disaster."
"However, I must remind you of one thing..." Bai hesitated for a moment. "Moving heavy objects requires a lot of effort, and your body is still weak. You need to return to the castle to recover as soon as possible."
Over the years, Solomon's Castle had become Su Ye's territory alone; even the counts from other castles could not enter freely.
"Are you worried those guys will come back to make trouble?" Su Ye raised an eyebrow.
"From the attitude of other castles... especially Morgugel, the possibility is quite high. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many Blood Dancers," Bai analyzed calmly.
Blood Dancers were equivalent to Second-Stage Warriors among humans, but due to their advancement requiring the blood of their ancestors to activate, their numbers were relatively few. Each Blood Dancer could be considered an elite of the blood clan, possessing immense potential for growth.
"Yeah, after I killed so many worthless ones, those old guys must be feeling quite pained!" Su Ye revealed a rare smile. However, despite her words, Su Ye was always a very calm person and approached problems with great rationality.
She would abandon her own ideas for greater benefits.
Clearly, this unknown lighthouse weighed less than her own life. Su Ye found Bai's reasoning very sound and decisively gave up on the thought of moving the lighthouse.
"It’s time to go back," Su Ye nodded.
"What about this lighthouse?" Bai asked.
At that moment, Su Ye casually took a couple of steps forward and stood beside Garen, examining the giant sword while casually providing her response.
"Destroy what cannot be obtained."
"I understand." Bai felt no surprise, as this response was very much in line with Su Ye's style of doing things.
However, just as Bai was about to take action, she suddenly sensed something, her expression changing drastically. But since she couldn't rush over in time, she could only raise her finger and point behind Su Ye, exclaiming in alarm.
"Watch out!"
Su Ye was focused on Stormblade when she heard Bai's shout and felt a bit puzzled. But before she could turn around, she saw the massive sword in front of her being lifted suddenly!
A figure, as resolute and distinct as a statue, held the sword with both hands and brought it crashing down!
With a hum, a giant blade radiating golden light appeared above Su Ye's head!
Blade of Fearlessness and Bravery!
