the defense grid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>feeding energy directly into the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something else—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brutal, overwhelming suction

intended—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To consume the whole city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's killing intent snapped into focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he appeared right in front of Sarenyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power surged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>condensing into a massive energy blade in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx didn't even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply raised a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous surge of energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>erupted from him like a tidal wave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>swallowing the world in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ethan's energy blade fully formed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was hurled backward by the sheer force of the backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he hit open air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he felt it—clear and undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just a gap in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx's presence felt like a bottomless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's what it is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan steadied himself midair, chest rising and falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system's readout flickered back into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier: 28 (Early)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that number meant nothing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy density inside this guy's body\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>far exceeded most early-stage Tier 29s Ethan had ever encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the lord of Emerald Castle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx looked down at him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a

him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a clear shape,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but a warped outline that bent reality itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that power unfolded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the space around them visibly distorted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compressed and stretched by invisible forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's energy was instantly suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was being stripped of its right to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Ethan realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was being denied even the right to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared silently in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar, urgent voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feylora hovered in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her gaze locked onto Sarenyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her power surged outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an invisible net,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it expanded straight into the devouring field ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan finally caught his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his brow didn't relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feylora's Tier was technically higher than Sarenyx's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his ability structure was far more extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlimited absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indiscriminate purification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this came down to a battle of raw capacity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feylora would eventually be overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened that completely defied his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they formed a strange equilibrium in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what truly shook Ethan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the faint wisp of golden energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaking from within Feylora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was incredibly stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment it touched Sarenyx's devouring field—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it actually began to gain the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx's expression shifted for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Same kind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire battlefield changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shockwaves, spatial fractures, wild energy currents—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all the destructive fallout that should've torn the area apart—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was being broken down, converted, absorbed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the instant it neared the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even destruction itself\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had become a resource to be consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a battle anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a contest for the right to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the end—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the energy from their direct clash\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because it was spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because both sides\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were pulling it inward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>trying to devour each other's core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's pupils widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of confrontation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he'd never seen anything like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy light burst across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona descended from above,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her Angelic Sword already charged with enough power to pass judgment on everything below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could strike,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan raised a hand to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes never left the devouring field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their power structures are too similar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Feylora's fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andona frowned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but after a moment, she let the light fade from her blade\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and stepped back behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the sky was completely saturated\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with violent, soundless energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx hadn't expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not in this place—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To encounter a girl whose very existence\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mirrored his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her devouring force—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was every bit as strong as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them hung locked in midair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>neither able to push forward another inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two devouring forces clashed in the sky, locked in a relentless standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around them, the energy of the world surged like a tide,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>drawn toward that single point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light, lightning, wind, fragments of space—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everything that should've scattered and exploded outward\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was instead pulled in, compressed, forced into submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange vacuum formed at the center of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy wasn't gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been completely consumed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not destroyed, but fully occupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devouring field had entered its most dangerous—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and most vulnerable—state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When two devourers of equal tier clashed at the core level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they instinctively—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dropped all external defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even the slightest distraction\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could leave their essence torn apart by the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it works…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Ethan's body blurred into motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No energy surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bypassed the direct confrontation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>appearing behind Sarenyx in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Energy Disc formed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No charge-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just compression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extreme compression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was almost no resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the disc hit, Sarenyx's body lost all stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every ounce of his power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was locked in the struggle with Feylora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No buffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy Disc sliced clean through him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>splitting his body in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that exact moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feylora moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't waste a single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her devouring core flared wide open,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like a gaping abyss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and dragged Sarenyx's collapsing essence straight into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devouring field in the sky shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the energy that had been drawn in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>flooded toward Feylora like a broken dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just a level-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bloodline leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarenyx had come from an ancient offshoot of the Dark Fairies—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his devouring gift was pure, refined, and dangerously potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it just so happened\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to align perfectly with Feylora's own power structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last trace of his essence was absorbed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her racial talent began to evolve—violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan could feel it clearly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her \"capacity\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was being redefined from the ground up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the system quietly confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier 29, early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For most, that would've been a standard tier breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Feylora—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a structural upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ability to devour, store, and convert energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had at least doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan let out a slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just reached into his spatial inventory\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and pulled out a small, crystal-clear golden orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed it gently into Feylora's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Emerald Castle's latest development—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A power core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It
