ONLINE: Blades of Eternity-Chapter 145: THE UPPER ECHELON

’Kaelen....’ Lila thought in worry and anxiety as her eyes were glued on Kaelen who seems to be on his last legs. Right now she has a frightening urge to go in there and help Kaelen with all she can. But after glancing at the Mysterious swordsman who stood in front of all of them for a moment, she couldn’t help but have a bitter smile on her face.

"Your time hasn’t come yet" But right at that moment is when the mysterious swordsman spoke up as if he already knows what is going through Lila’s mind.

"What do you mean by that?" Surprised by how accurate the mysterious swordsman could figure out what is in her mind, Lila asked with a serious look on her face. But what she got as a response from the mysterious swordsman Is a small smirk while replying.

"That isn’t for me to tell you but for you to find out"

Back in the battlefield, Kaelen and his companions who has now landed back on the ground are staring dangerously at the Chaos twins who are now bloodied and bartered.

[Warning!! HP down to 1200!!]

[Warning!! MP down to 500!!]

But while Kaelen is busy recuperating from the backlash if the ultimate move he just executed, two notifications ranged in his head as a screen popped up in front of him.

’Well as expected, seems like now is good time to use my last potions’ Kaelen thought before he suddenly closed his eyes. And in the next moment, colored returned to his face while his aura became more intense.

As Kaelen regained a fraction of his strength, his eyes narrowed, and he gave a nod to his companions. They moved in unison, a coordinated strike on the weakened twins, Aron and Selene.

Guinevere’s flames surged in an elegant dance, Eldric’s tribulation lightning crackled with renewed ferocity, Ethan melted into the shadows, his withering mana swirling ominously, and Kaelen, now somewhat stabilized, advanced with the Blade of Eternity shimmering once more.

But just as they were about to land their decisive blows, an invisible force repelled them all with a thunderous pulse of energy. Kaelen and his companions were thrown back, barely managing to stay on their feet.

The aged man, who had been watching silently until now, stood with a hand raised. His expression was unreadable, but his presence alone made the very air tremble. His eyes flicked toward the fallen Aron and Selene, who were gasping for breath, their chaotic energy all but depleted.

"They admit defeat," the aged man’s voice cut through the battlefield like ice. "It is time to leave."

The declaration hung in the air, thick with tension. Kaelen, who has already been filled with fighting spirit, furrowed his brows. The others were stunned into silence, unsure of how to react.

But the Pillars of the Academy didn’t take kindly to this sudden interference.

"You think you can just walk away?" General Cao’s voice boomed, his aura flaring as he stepped forward, glaring at the aged man. "After what your brats have done?"

Vlahiç and Bowel both stood beside Cao, their eyes burning with intensity. Carmilia, the Ice Queen, said nothing, but her piercing gaze spoke volumes. There was no way they would allow this transgression to be swept aside so easily.

The aged man, however, remained calm, his hand still raised in that same motion that had repelled Kaelen and his companions. "Do not mistake mercy for weakness," he said, his voice low but carrying a deadly weight. "The Dragonyx family honors their word. They lost, and thus they leave."

But before the Pillars could retort, a flash of movement caught everyone’s attention.

The Mysterious Swordsman appeared in front of the aged man, so swiftly that even the Pillars barely registered his movement. His sword was drawn, and the overwhelming pressure of his sword Qi filled the air, as if the very fabric of space was being sliced apart by his mere presence.

"Who gave you permission to decide when this ends?" the Mysterious Swordsman asked, his voice calm, yet laden with a dangerous edge. His eyes, filled with the profound understanding of the Sword Dimension, locked onto the aged man’s with unwavering intensity.

The aged man’s eyes flickered briefly, a hint of surprise crossing his otherwise stoic face. For the first time, his aura shifted, responding to the pressure exerted by the Mysterious Swordsman.

"I have no quarrel with you," the aged man said quietly, though his words now carried a subtle warning. "But you should reconsider your stance. It is not wise to challenge what you do not fully understand."

The Mysterious Swordsman’s grip tightened on his sword, but he didn’t flinch. "I don’t need to understand. I know one thing—I won’t let you take them without facing the consequences."

The tension was palpable, as the two stood face to face, the atmosphere around them charged with immeasurable power. Everyone held their breath, knowing that even the slightest wrong move could ignite a clash that would dwarf anything that had happened so far.

Kaelen, still recovering his strength, watched the scene unfold with wide eyes. The battle wasn’t over yet. Not by a long shot.

The air crackled with tension, the weight of imminent conflict hanging over the battlefield as the Mysterious Swordsman and the aged man from the Dragonyx family stood locked in a silent, dangerous standoff. The oppressive energy of their confrontation seemed to distort the very space around them, making the spectators uneasy.

But just as the tension reached its breaking point, a sudden ripple tore through the sky above them. In an instant, the Vice Chancellor appeared, his presence cutting through the oppressive atmosphere like a blade. Hovering high in the sky, his commanding gaze swept over the scene below, settling first on the Mysterious Swordsman.

"Stand down," the Vice Chancellor ordered, his voice firm but measured. "It is not the right time for this."

The Mysterious Swordsman looked up, a mixture of confusion and frustration flickering across his face. "Why?" he asked, his voice steady but filled with a quiet intensity. His grip on his sword remained firm, unwilling to back down so easily.

Before the Vice Chancellor could respond, a new presence tore into the already strained atmosphere. Another figure appeared at the same altitude as the Vice Chancellor, materializing from the direction of the Dragonyx family. The moment this young man arrived, a wave of primal, ancient energy rolled through the air, warping the very fabric of reality around him.

His aura was unlike anything anyone had ever felt—a force that seemed to exist beyond the mortal realm, an existence that transcended time and space.

The Vice Chancellor’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the newcomer, but he didn’t say a word.

The young man, his features calm yet intense, ignored the chaotic scene below as his gaze first locked onto the Vice Chancellor. "We will see again," he said with an eerie calmness, his words laced with an undeniable weight of meaning, almost as if it were a promise.

Then, with deliberate slowness, he turned his eyes toward Kaelen. For a brief, chilling moment, their eyes met, and Kaelen felt a pressure unlike anything he had ever known—a feeling that was both primal and terrifying, as if the very essence of the universe acknowledged the presence of this man.

But the young man said nothing to him, merely giving Kaelen an inscrutable look before turning his attention back to his own people.

"Leave," the young man ordered, his voice calm but carrying the authority of someone who held dominion over the Dragonyx family.

The aged man, who had been about to escalate the confrontation, immediately backed down. Without a word, he motioned for Aron and Selene to follow, along with the rest of their entourage. The Dragonyx members, tense and bruised from the battle, obeyed without hesitation.

In one swift, shocking motion, the young man vanished, his departure as unsettling as his arrival, leaving only the lingering disruption of reality in his wake.

The Vice Chancellor remained in the sky for a few moments longer, his gaze fixed on the spot where the young man had disappeared. Then, slowly, he descended, landing near the Mysterious Swordsman, Kaelen, and the others.

"It’s over for now," he said quietly, his usual commanding presence tempered with a hint of unease. "Kaelen, Ethan, Morris, Sofia, Guinevere and Eldric, come to my office. We have much to discuss."

"Vlahiç, I want you and the others to help rebuild the school" Reeves continued as he turned to look at Vlahiç.

"Consider it done" Vlahiç replied as he immediately began to make himself busy along with the other pillars of the academy

Kaelen, still trying to make sense of what had just happened, looked to his companions. They all shared the same confused expression. Something far greater than they realized was at play, and the arrival of this mysterious young man had shifted the balance in ways they couldn’t yet comprehend.

But for now, the Dragonyx family had withdrawn. And that, at least, was a small victory.
