System's POV

The Eighth Agent could hear the sound of fighting across the mountainside.

But since he and the other members of his group knew that their priority was to escape from their current circumstances, he decided not to help any of them.

However, just as he was about to head deeper into the forest of the mountain, he saw countless red eyes shining in the darkness.

The Grandmaster was surprised, for in his knowledge, the Mountain Range only had normal wildlife, like wild boars, inside of it.

However, the feeling that he was getting from those eyes was different.

He believed that these eyes weren't that of ordinary animals but of monsters.

His many years in Solterra and Pangea had allowed him to discern such things.

'I'm surrounded,' the Agent's expression turned grim after realizing that he had nowhere to go.

Suddenly, a skunk that was at least three meters tall appeared in front of him.

'Rank 6 Sovereign,' the Agent felt a cold shiver run down his spine after seeing his opponent.

But knowing that he had no place to run, the Agent gritted his teeth and unleashed his killer blows toward the monster, who was looking back at him with eyes filled with pity.

A scream reverberated in the night, which made the other Agents, who were fighting the teenagers, feel their hearts turn cold.

"You are granted permission to use any and all means to escape," the Leader of the Group said through their communicators. "If you need to injure your opponent, then so be it. I will take responsibility for everything!"

After hearing their Leader's orders, all the Agents no longer held back and started to fight seriously.

The pressure that the teenagers faced increased drastically, but none of them backed down.

Meanwhile, standing beside Shana on the rooftop of the Leventis Residence, Thirteen took out a binocular and checked the current situation of the battlefield.

"Can you see them?" Shana asked with curiosity.

"Yes," Thirteen replied. "I can see them perfectly."

Of course, Thirteen was lying.

The vision of the binoculars was limited.

However, the members of the Parade of the Hundred Demons had been scattered throughout the mountainside, and they were all currently monitoring the battles while using their stealth abilities.

Thirteen didn't give them any order to help the teenagers because he understood that the Intruders had no intention of killing anyone.

Although they might suffer serious injuries later on, none of them would be life-threatening.

Shana could treat them just fine, so there was nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, a beautiful lady appeared beside Thirteen and Shana, almost making the Saintess jump out of fright.

"Are you sure you have no plans to help them, Zion?" the beautiful lady asked.

"No, Grandma," Thirteen replied. "This will be a valuable experience for all of them."

Lady Callista nodded. "I sent Hans to look after Mikhail and Shasha. If their enemies plan to be vicious and go for the kill, he will interfere with the battle. I hope you won't mind."

Thirteen nodded in understanding. "That's fine, Grandma. But Mikhail and Shasha will not lose."

Lady Callista smiled faintly. "You're that confident huh?"

"Yes," Thirteen replied.

Lady Callista then shifted her attention to the beautiful Saintess, who was standing beside her grandson.

"I believe this is the first time that we've met, Miss Shana," Lady Callista said. "I'm Callista Leventis. Zion's grandmother. Just call me Lady Callista."

"Pleasure to meet you, Lady Callista," Shana replied respectfully.

"Alright, I know that you kids are busy, so I won't bother you anymore." Lady Callista smiled.

Shana nodded as she closed her eyes to focus on the situation on the battlefield.

Thirteen had given everyone a bracelet that allowed Shana to check their location, as well as current conditions.

Because of this, she was able to remotely use her healing abilities despite the distance between them.

These bracelets were imbued with Rune Magic, allowing Shana to use them as a medium to manifest her skills.

When Shana and the rest learned about the bracelet's abilities, they were quite shocked because this was the first time that they had seen such an artifact.

This meant that as long as they were within the Mountains of the Leventis Family, Shana's support and healing abilities would reach them without fail.

The sound of trees crashing to the ground spread inside the forest.

Shasha moved from shadow to shadow, as well as used her clones to attack the Agent from different directions.

Despite the difference in Rank, the Agent was hard-pressed against her who only had the Rank of an Apostle.

If Shasha wasn't using a Divine Martial Art Technique, then she would have already been overwhelmed by her opponent's fighting prowess.

The technique was also more powerful during the night, especially when the moon hung in the sky.

Although the moon in the sky wasn't a full moon, it was more than enough to double her strength, allowing her to surpass the fighting abilities of an Apostle.

The Agent was alarmed because he didn't expect that Shasha Leventis was this powerful.

Despite the fact that they had failed their mission, he believed that he would still be rewarded once he returned with the information about the eldest daughter of the Leventis Family.

Information was power, and sometimes, it played an important role in the decision-making of a powerful Clan.

Suddenly, the Agent heard a cry of pain from behind him.

A moment later, the body of his comrade slammed behind his back, making him stagger.

"Shasha, are you done playing?" Mikhail asked. "Zion might nag at you for playing with your enemy."

"Zion will not nag at me," Shasha replied. "He will even praise me because I am testing all of my skills against a stronger opponent."

Mikhail thought for a bit before nodding in understanding.

"You should finish up soon," Mikhail commented. "Erica and the rest are about to wrap up their battles as well."

"Fine," Shasha took a fighting stance with her Rapier right in front of her face, its tip pointing towards the sky.

The rapier's blade glowed faintly with power, making the Agent's eyes widen in shock. Your journey continues on m v|l-e'm,p y r

Shasha's body had split, forming over a dozen clones. Despite his strong spiritual senses, the agent was unable to determine which one was real, for they all felt real in his senses.

"Dance of the Moonlight, Third Form," Shasha said softly.

"Moonlight Cradle!"

Several flashes of light erupted in the surroundings as Shasha's clones all swung their rapiers, creating an inescapable blade storm, making the Agent utter a bloodcurdling scream as his body was blown away from the impact of Shasha's merciless sword strikes.

Hans, who was observing from the shadows, couldn't help but sigh in admiration after seeing how powerful Mikhail and Shasha had become.

As someone who also received a Divine Martial Technique from Thirteen, the butler couldn't help but think that Zion was truly the treasure of the Leventis Family.

Ever since he recovered from his injuries, things only got better for everyone.

Lady Callista was healed from her ailment that everyone deemed as incurable.

The teenage boy also created miracles one after the other, fighting one strong opponent at a time, elevating his prestige and influence in both Pangea and Solterra.

Hans believed that as long as Zion stood with the Leventis Family, they had nothing to fear even if the Monarch Clans decided to declare war against them.

Of course, if the Monarch Clans truly did such a stupid thing, they would realize that they had just kicked a steel plate, which would make them feel a world of pain.

Hans chuckled internally after imagining these things. But now that his duty was over, he melded with the shadows and returned to the side of his Mistress, who was happily talking with her grandson about the marriage proposals that were being sent through them.

Shana, who heard these things, couldn't help but frown and comment that Zion was still too young to think about marriage.

Lady Callista smiled sweetly and gave Shana an understanding look.

She even promised the Saintess that she would wait until Zion turned sixteen before accepting the second batch of marriage proposals, which made the Saintess feel a bit better.

While she didn't know why she felt uncomfortable when Lady Callista talked about the marriage proposals that Zion received, she believed that her opposition was for the greater good.

After all, she felt that Zion wasn't emotionally ready to have a relationship with anyone, especially after she heard Erica's stories about the teenage boy's subconscious actions during the night, which she would experience for herself in the not-so-distant future.
