Waleria attacked the formation of the mountain range. Her power was immense, and the force emanating from her palm
obliterated the celestial body. Her potent energy kept expanding, reducing everything in its path to rubble. A black palace floated
in the starry expanse. This black palace seemed to be forged from black gold, emitting a dark brilliance.
“Waleria Zavee, you’ve arrived,” a voice reverberated from deep within the black palace. In the wake of the words, a beam of
black light surged forth from its confines. This light converged above, coalescing into the form of a looming shadow.
Initially, Waleria did harbor a certain trepidation. After all, Yvan had inflicted severe injuries upon her and nearly succeeded in
ending her life. However, as she stood before him, her residual fear seemed to wane.
Summoning a violet longsword into her hand, she aimed it at the Black Palace, her voice carrying an icy resolve. “Yvan Xorath,
our previous encounter remains unresolved. Today, we will bring it to its conclusion.”
‘You do possess a knack for timing,” the shadow countered. ‘You’re well aware that I’ve not yet fully healed from my wounds. I
assume you’ve chosen to come now while I’m still in the process of recuperating. But, your own strength hasn’t reached its
zenith as well. Am I right?”
“Words won’t change the inevitable.” Waleria’s response was a frigid scoff. Employing her violet longsword, she channeled an
ethereal manifestation of her sword intent.
The sword intent surged, shattering the shadow above the Black Palace, and the Black Palace rapidly vanished from its position.
However, Waleria seemed to have anticipated this. She waved her hand, and an illusory palm sigil materialized, forcefully pulling
the escaping Black Palace back. Once again, it materialized within the starry expanse. Gripping the violet longsword, Waleria
surged forward, heading straight for the palace’s entrance, intending to slay Yvan and seize the runes.
Yet, as she ventured into the palace’s depths, an unsettling energy emerged, radiating from its surroundings. Within the void, a
myriad of figures draped in black robes suddenly materialized. These were all elders from the Daemonium Sect, even the Deputy
Master, Zeloneth, was among them.
Inside the palace, Waleria sensed everything outside the world, and her expression changed drastically. She came to the
realization that she had been deceived. This was all a trap set up by the Daemonium Sect.
Gripping her longsword, she attempted to retreat. As she moved, mystical inscriptions emerged around the Black Palace. These
inscriptions crisscrossed, forming an extremely formidable formation. A surge of immense power emanated from the formation,
forcibly suppressing Waleria.
James had been remaining concealed, not showing himself. Upon witnessing this, he swiftly understood that they were in dire
straits, ensnared within the trap set by the Daemonium Sect. He materialized beside Waleria in a flicker, pulling her away from
imminent danger.
Boom!
In the next moment, he appeared at the edge of the palace, brushing against a powerful barrier formation. He tumbled from
midair, landing heavily on the ground. The formation encasing the palace was unbelievably potent. Even his Blithe Omniscience
could not penetrate it.
“What should we do?” James climbed up from the ground, glancing at Waleria by his side. Waleria’s expression was unusually
grave.
At that moment, a man appeared from deep within the palace. He wore a red robe and appeared to be around thirty years old.
He was quite handsome, wearing a smile on his face as he walked.
“Waleria, I’ve been waiting for you.”
‘Yvan Xorath.” Waleria gritted her teeth, tightly clutching her longsword.
“This is the Daemonium Sect’s Treasure, the Daemonium Palace. I neglected to mention that the Daemonium Sect possesses
an incredible ability. Regardless of the strength of the powerhouse trapped within it, they won’t be able to muster their might.” His
words reverberated.
Once he finished speaking, the formation of the Daemonium Palace activated in its entirety.
