It looked ancient, like it had been sleeping for centuries beneath the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the air around it was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—it opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulse of raw, unfiltered power burst from its body, shaking the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that...?\" he muttered, his expression darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing wasn’t just strong—it was on his level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another SSS-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his scan instinctively, and sure enough—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[SSS-Rank Crimson Ultimate Hero Detected]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Ethan muttered, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even finish processing the threat, the stone giant let out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power exploded outward in a violent wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You filthy invaders!\" the giant bellowed, its voice like a crashing tsunami. \"You’ve turned this world into chaos!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer force behind its words made even Ethan flinch. He had no idea what this thing was talking about—but it was pissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HUMMMMM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A radiant, multicolored orb floated up from the giant’s chest. Inside it swam a mermaid—glowing with iridescent light, her form eerily similar to Namyanna’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this one shimmered with a rainbow of colors, her presence so dazzling that even Ethan couldn’t help but stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you dare to defile this place,\" the stone giant growled, \"prepare to be shattered into dust!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaid shot forward, unleashing a terrifying wave of pressure that blanketed the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Ethan was about to step forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namyanna moved in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord,\" she said firmly, her voice calm but resolute. \"Let me handle this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That creature... her power is just like mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head slightly, eyes locked on the glowing mermaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So let me be the one to face her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan paused for a beat, then gave a firm nod. \"Alright, go for it, Namyanna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was SSS-rank now—he wasn’t too worried. Worst-case scenario? If things got dicey, they’d just gang up on the enemy and beat it down together. No big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Namyanna and the stone giant clashed in midair. Two overwhelming forces collided, lighting up the sky with a storm of magical energy that rippled across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Ethan’s surprise, the stone giant wasn’t just a brute—it was a summoner. The sea creatures swimming inside its hollow body began pouring out, summoned into battle like a living army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full-on swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namyanna was immediately put on the defensive. She was powerful, yes—but this was her first real fight as an SSS-rank Crimson Ultimate Hero. She was still adjusting, still finding her rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held her ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone, she managed to stall the monstrous sea giant, trading blows in a dazzling display of magic and might. The sky above the ocean became a battlefield of light and shadow, water and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the fight reached its peak, something else stirred beneath the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one rose slowly from the depths—a towering soul-form creature shaped like a massive tree, its body wrapped in seaweed and aquatic plants that writhed like living vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time those vines lashed through the air, they released bursts of violent energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the worst part?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was SSS-rank too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What the hell is going on?\" Ethan muttered, eyes narrowing. \"Are they seriously ganging up on us now? Trying to wipe us out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t wait for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of light, he surged forward, power erupting from his body as he prepared to meet the new threat head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right now, he was the only one who could go toe-to-toe with another SSS-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona and Ataneya were strong—but not quite there yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to strike—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ataneya suddenly darted in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, let us fight with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t just stand by and watch you risk your life alone. We’re your warriors—we fight beside you, no matter the odds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan blinked, caught off guard by her sudden determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Let’s do this together. Andona, Ataneya—go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, My Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Andona was the first to move. She vanished in a flash of light, reappearing mid-air with her Angelic longsword already swinging down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blade struck the Sea Treant’s massive body, and a blinding explosion of holy energy erupted on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSSSHHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Treant let out a guttural roar, its body trembling. The vines wrapped around it began to swell and lash out wildly—then suddenly, they detached and transformed into five separate SS-rank soul-form monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More summons?\" Ethan scoffed. \"Too bad. That’s your weakness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take them out—now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly what this meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those summoned creatures weren’t just minions—they were extensions of the Sea Treant itself. Kill them, and the Treant’s power would drop. Fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona and Ataneya didn’t hesitate. They charged in, blades flashing, magic flaring. The two of them tore into the summoned beasts with relentless fury, holding their own against all five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan watched for a moment—then joined the fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved like a storm, cutting through the summoned monsters with brutal efficiency. Three strikes. Two kills. One explosion of soul energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AAAAHHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Treant howled in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ethan predicted, its strength began to plummet. The connection to its summoned extensions was severed, and its core energy destabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opening he’d been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-05T15:15:44.853Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ffdfef508c567be6717db6659ba7b13dd1702a307c4c1d1c4b27a3f5bec13a2","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-543","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-541",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
