One after another, terrifying spatial rifts cracked into existence, and from within them emerged towering, awe-inspiring figures, each radiating an overwhelming, suffocating power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of them was unmistakably a 16-Tier powerhouse—no illusions, no tricks. Real, raw, terrifying strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were more than ten of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they appeared, everyone’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again? Goddamn it!\" Ethan cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he shook his head, eyes gleaming with a sharp light. \"Still... this is our shot. Kill them. Get stronger. No holding back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go first, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ataneya was the first to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of her figure, she launched herself straight at the incoming wave of 16-Tier enemies—more than ten of them, and she didn’t hesitate for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others didn’t need any more prompting. Seeing her charge in, they all sprang into action, bodies flickering as they surged forward to join the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, it was obvious—they were stronger. Way stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona had already evolved to the peak of 16-Tier S-Class. Ataneya, Elira, Cicero, Namyanna—they’d all broken through to 16-Tier as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just barely. They were among the elite of that tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant that even though their enemies were also 16-Tier S-Class, this wasn’t a hopeless fight anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could win this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACKLE—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a monstrous pressure exploded through the battlefield. A new figure emerged from the void—another puppet-like being, eerily similar to the Puppet Sovereign Kane they’d fought before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, it lunged straight at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira didn’t hesitate. She shot forward to intercept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they clashed, something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was losing ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit... it’s a peak 16-Tier S-Class?\" Elira’s face tightened, her expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t weak—far from it—but she was still just a step below that peak level. And in a fight like this, even a single step could mean the difference between victory and defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she wasn’t backing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demonic Ascension!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t a trace of fear in Elira’s eyes. Her body surged with violent, chaotic energy as she unleashed a devastating blow straight at the puppet’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d fought these things before. They knew the weak spot—the energy core in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, her punch didn’t land the way it should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even budge the thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, her fist got stuck—caught in some strange, invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell? Devouring energy? Damn it!\" Elira’s expression darkened as she realized what was happening. The puppet’s chest was pulling at her, draining her power with a relentless, parasitic force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—her eyes flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d figured something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, she did something insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let the puppet absorb her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she did, the puppet’s expression twisted in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tried to cut off the devouring force, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that split-second opening, a surge of power—dark, primal, like the wrath of an Umbral Archdemon—erupted from Elira’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It punched straight through the puppet’s chest, right into its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAAARGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strong, no doubt about that—but its weakness was just too obvious. And Elira had exploited it perfectly. In one brutal move, she’d nearly torn it apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she wasn’t done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed the attack, relentless and merciless, hammering it with blow after blow, draining its dark magic with every strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, her own power surged—rising, climbing, until she broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hit the peak of 16-Tier S-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions of raw energy burst from her body, wave after wave of violent power flooding the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air itself trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around her warped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brutal clash came to a sudden halt—just for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes turned skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, suspended in the air, was a radiant, shimmering phantom of a Demon Moth. Light pulsed from its wings in dazzling bursts, casting eerie glows across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Fox Sovereign slowly opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gleamed with a wild, hungry excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was staring straight at Elira—like a predator sizing up its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just gave her a single, lingering look... then closed his eyes once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this unfold, Ethan finally let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been ready to jump in and help Elira himself—but she’d handled it. Not only had she taken down that puppet, she’d broken through to the peak of 16-Tier S-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That changed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their side had just gotten a whole lot stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even savor the moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden, chilling presence locked onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger. Immediate and lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s there?!\" Ethan barked, his voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sultry, mocking voice answered, smooth as silk and laced with venom. \"We meet again, Lord of Emerald Castle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shadows stepped the woman he’d fought before—one of the three 16-Tier elites who had confronted him earlier. And now, she was back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You,\" Ethan growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I underestimated you,\" she said with a smirk. \"Didn’t think you’d be able to push the great Lord Holy Fox this far. But it ends here. Once you’re dead, your people will crumble. No hope. No future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, eyes gleaming with cruel delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You face your doom, Ethan. And it has a name—Lilith.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she vanished in a blur of motion, launching herself straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hit like a storm. Her aura exploded outward, wild and overwhelming. Her long hair whipped behind her like a banner of chaos, and her entire body radiated a terrifying, unhinged power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t just strong—she was a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was already at 16-Tier S-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t have time to hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp breath, he surged forward to meet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power flared, lightning crackling around him as he hurled a condensed energy sphere straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lilith barely blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swatted the orb aside like it was nothing, then lunged in, claws extended, aiming straight for his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s eyes narrowed. He twisted his wrist and met her strike with a thunderous punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their fists collided, the shockwave was deafening. Space itself cracked and splintered around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK-CRACK-CRACK—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan gritted his teeth, lightning surging wildly across his body. He gathered it all in an instant, then launched himself forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he drove his fist straight into her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of the impact he expected, his knuckles slammed into something hard—armored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a layer of protective plating over her heart, glinting like obsidian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d expected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That punch was just a feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it landed, his body flickered—vanished—and reappeared behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another punch, this one aimed at her exposed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when he realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t just wearing dragon armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-05T15:15:47.573Z",1,"novelbin.me","516483de7557763d02806030d711a9d30d8945cb1e97c62fb406f75cd2e679bc","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-602","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-800",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
