That was already a losing matchup from the start. And now that Seraphina’s power had spiked again, Malenthia was officially outclassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she kept fighting, she’d be throwing herself into a meat grinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one smart move left—retreat. Fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if she didn’t, and the enemy managed to sneak into her Castle, seize her Castle Heart, and destroy it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be game over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrmmm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that thought hit her, Malenthia made her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spotted an opening, broke away from Seraphina with a sharp pivot, and tore open the sky with a dimensional rift, ready to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she was about to vanish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fist, glowing with the crushing power of the stars themselves, came crashing down from above like a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Diamond Starcrush Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow landed square on Malenthia’s back, slamming her out of the sky like a ragdoll. She smashed into the broken outer wall of Axehold Castle with a deafening crash. The impact was so violent, the entire structure groaned—and then collapsed in on itself in a cloud of dust and rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you’d try to run,\" Ethan’s voice echoed from above, laced with amusement. \"But you forgot one thing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hovered in the sky, looking down at the wreckage with a calm, victorious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forgotme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might not have been as overwhelmingly powerful as Seraphina, but he was no pushover either. He was level 72 now, a Crimson Ultimate Hero, and his overall Tier rating was significantly higher than Malenthia’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that punch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was no casual strike. He’d been charging it for a long time—pouring everything he had into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to make Malenthia see stars for a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down in the ruins, Malenthia lay broken, her eyes wide with disbelief and despair. Nearly half her body had been obliterated by Ethan’s blow, and she couldn’t even regenerate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t sensed him coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d taken the full hit—raw and unfiltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, she was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely and utterly finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, even Seraphina alone could kill her without breaking a sweat. And behind Seraphina stood Ethan, still brimming with power, along with a whole army of Crimson Ultimate Heroes, Tier 14 Mythic Ace Units, Tier 14 Mythic Units, and Tier 13 Legendary Units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This war—she’d lost it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seraphina, with me. Let’s finish her. No mercy—no second chances,\" Ethan said coldly, already diving down for the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just about winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first real victory against a King-tier powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maelthorak didn’t count—he’d been half-dead already. But this? This was the real deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ethan wanted to end it perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina didn’t hesitate. She unleashed her Sacred Realm power, locking Malenthia in place with a crushing force that pinned her to the ground like a bug under glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a roar that split the heavens, she transformed—her body expanding into a towering Green Dragon, tens of thousands of feet tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She soared upward, wings slicing through the clouds, then twisted midair and dove like a missile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath scorched the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her claws gleamed with death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she hit—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tore Malenthia apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shredded her into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the dust settled, Ethan finally heard the sound he’d been waiting for:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. Your Hero Unit [Green Dragon Seraphina] has reached Level 74!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. Your Hero Unit [Green Dragon Orryn] has reached Level 57!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. Your Hero Unit [Ebonite Colossus Kaiin] has reached Level 54!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. Your Tier 14 Mythic Ace Unit [Ancient Behemoth Balthazar] has reached 80% Evolution Progress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. You have leveled up! You are now Level 73!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Malenthia fell in battle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a massive wave of experience points exploded out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and just like that, Ethan, Seraphina, and the others all got a huge boost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s start with Seraphina. She jumped two whole levels, from 72 to 74.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, don’t underestimate those two levels. This is Seraphina we’re talking about—already an Intermediate Deity at level 72. Gaining two levels at that stage? That’s a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if the peak-form Malenthia were to face the current Seraphina now, she probably wouldn’t even need backup. She could take him down solo, no sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, the gap between top-tier powerhouses really is that simple—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just a difference of one or two levels, maybe three at most, and that’s all it takes to flip the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as for Ethan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he leveled up too, from 72 to 73.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same with Green Dragon Orryn and Ebonite Colossus Kaiin. It looked like they were force-leveled up by the system, probably as part of the post-battle rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the biggest winner of this war, aside from Ethan and Seraphina, had to be the Ancient Behemoth, Balthazar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His evolution progress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shot up from 29% all the way to 80% in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the kind of leap that’s more symbolic than anything else—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but still, it’s huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher that evolution percentage climbs, the closer he gets to becoming a Hero Unit. Closer to stepping into that next, more powerful realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Auremax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Balthazar and Auremax really do evolve into Hero Units like I’m hoping...\" Ethan muttered, barely able to contain his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re already 14-Tier Mythic Ace Units. If they evolve into Hero Units, that means they’d start at Tier 14 as Heroes. Who wouldn’t want that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the kind of thing that drives you crazy just thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ethan also knew the odds. Hero Units that evolve from 13-Tier Legendary Units? That’s already rare, but still within the realm of possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hero Units from 14-Tier Mythic Units though? That’s pure luck. You can’t force it. You just have to hope the stars align.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Still, no quest reward?\" Ethan mumbled, a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking down Malenthia,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’d expected some kind of system reward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but nothing popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already claimed the first-kill reward back when they took down Sea King Maelthorak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, that one had been a bit of a fluke, a lucky break—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the system didn’t care about how you won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only cared about results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, whatever. We already nailed our main objective anyway. And now, Seraphina’s probably strong enough to go toe-to-toe with those King-tier monsters. That’s what matters. Hell yeah! Hahahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the longest time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Castle had lived under the shadow of those King-tier powerhouses—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Dragon Vorundar,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea King Maelthorak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dungeon King Malenthia,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and more...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sun had broken through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-05T15:15:29.581Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c75549b12c1f29ec617d8d98d417c88d0e9266f5dd1f16c92d20b071892f2aa","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-483","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-481",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
