434 Found Him
Finished
Just standing there, they radiated the aura of battle–hardened veterans.
It was as if countless kills had forged their presence. Their levels had risen, and their combat instincts had become remarkably mature.
After all, they had always been among the elite of the Awakened.
Edric had reached level 35. When he drew his sword, very few level 4 beasts survived. His light–attribute killing power was also terrifyingly strong.
Combined with his quiet, reserved personality, he had become like a judge of light itself. Every swing of his sword claimed a life.
Olivia had advanced to level 33. Only later did Steven realize that her martial talent had never been lacking. She had spent so much time acting as a Surveillant that her combat instincts had never been properly developed, suppressing her true potential.
But once she began fighting and killing in earnest, her transformation became obvious. She was evolving rapidly.
Her whole body radiated a fierce killing aura.
Then there was Fiona.
After half a month of hellish training and Steven’s constant “friendly” encouragement, she had changed dramatically as well. She no longer seemed like the sheltered girl she once was. With the help of spirit fruits, her level had risen to 26.
Her cool beauty and tall figure, combined with the faint aura of danger surrounding her, made people instinctively keep their distance. And this time, it wasn’t because of her looks.
Next was Nicole. As a dark attribute user, she had broken through to level 27. She possessed exceptional talent in movement techniques and excelled at mobility. In the past, she specialized in ranged assassination. But after switching to Blooddrinker, her combat power increased significantly, especially at night. In darkness, she was practically born to be an assassin.

As for Bianca, she was a true all–rounder. Steven barely needed to guide her at all. After half a month of nonstop bloodshed, he felt that her combat instincts already rivaled the experience he had accumulated over decades in his previous life.
The strong aura she unleashed during battle left even him captivated.
Most importantly, Bianca had already reached level 28. She had overtaken everyone else.
And that was while spending every day fighting in daylight. Otherwise, her level would have been even higher.
After the massacre ended, they cleaned up the battlefield and departed.
Just as Alan glanced at his Starlink, his pupils shrank slightly.
“We found Liam!“.
At those words, everyone’s expressions sharpened. Killing intent surged.
It was time to settle old scores.

As evening approached, Steven soared through the sky like an eagle, flying at an altitude of over 30,000 feet.
Even advanced detection equipment would have been unable to detect his presence.
At that moment, golden light flickered within his Eye of Insight.
He scanned the land below.
On a stretch of wilderness, he spotted 15 people gathered together.
Seven of them were Divine Generals, and the remaining eight were Divine Knights.
Numerous beasts accompanied them.
The next moment, Alan set off. Winds surged around him as he charged toward the group.
Bloodfiend replied, “The higher–ups want us to coordinate with our people inside Orroux. We’ll intercept
Alex butside the city. Our mission is to make sure Alex dies at Alan’s hands.”
Hearing that, Liam and several others frowned.
One Divine General asked, “Why do the higher–ups always have to make things so complicated? Why not just kill Alan, Alex, and that newly ranked Grade–A, Tier-! Bianca outright?”
Bloodfiend shook his head. “This isn’t about making things complicated.
“Sure, we could kill them directly. All we’d have to do is mobilize a beast array and wipe them out completely.
“But what will happen after that?
“All we’d accomplish is strengthening their resolve to exterminate us. These schemes are designed to destroy them from within and make them turn against one another.
“You can’t focus only on killing a handful of so–called geniuses. Even if we kill them, more will appear. “But if we dismantle them from the inside, we can eliminate them at the root, little by little.
“This is a century–long strategy, and it’s already showing results.
“Don’t ask questions like that again.”
The others nodded.
Still, one person couldn’t resist asking another question. “Then why is Alan our target instead of Alex?
“Won’t Alex become even stronger in the future?”
Bloodfiend shook his head and looked toward Liam instead.
Liam also shook his head. “Don’t question it. This was decided by the Demon God prophet. We only need to carry out the order. Besides, you’ve all seen how monstrous Alan is. He can crush SSS–rank opponents at the same level.”
