"A Saint Realm expert wants to kill me! Could it be that the Beastmen's Saint Realm expert saw me kill Resior and flew into a rage out of humiliation?"
Andres was horrified. He erupted with all his Battle Qi, trying to break free from the Pseudo-Domain's influence.
"Hmph, a mere Level Eight Warrior thinks he can escape my grasp?"
A deep, hoarse voice rang out around him. An elderly Beastman clad in animal-hide robes floated in midair, staring coldly at Andres. With a flick of his finger, the Lightning Spear shot toward Andres.
"Ratslo, you want to kill a human genius right in front of me?"
Another unfamiliar voice sounded.
The moment the words fell, a rift was torn through the surrounding Thunder World. A beam of holy white light shone through and struck the Lightning Spear.
The holy light and the Lightning Spear dissolved one another.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
Successive beams of holy white light pierced through the Thunder World and shone in. The winds and clouds churned as countless arcs of lightning went berserk, then shuddered violently before vanishing into nothingness.
The Pseudo-Domain has been broken. I'm saved. Andres let out a long breath of relief.
A Saint Realm expert saved me. Could he be one from the human side?
Andres swiftly scanned his surroundings and soon spotted two figures floating above him. One was a middle-aged man in white robes, with shoulder-length hair and refined features.
The other was a male Elf, as beautiful as a woman, with long green hair cascading to his waist and eyes like emerald lakes.
The two Saint Realm experts floated in the air, facing the old man in animal-hide robes from afar.
"Ratslo, what is it? Do you want to have a go against the two of us?" The white-robed middle-aged man wore a faint smile.
Ratslo, the old man in animal-hide robes, narrowed his eyes and studied the white-robed man and the green-haired Elf back and forth. Seemingly realizing he would gain nothing from a fight, he finally snorted coldly, transformed into a streak of lightning, and flew toward the distant horizon.
The two Saint Realm experts did not stop him.
Both sides knew each other's strength well and understood that neither could do anything to the other.
"He's finally gone." Andres relaxed as well upon seeing this.
My strength is still far too weak. Any random Saint Realm expert could kill me. I need to improve as quickly as possible.
The utter helplessness he had felt when facing Ratslo, a Saint Realm expert, had given Andres a sense of crisis, diluting the joy brought by his improved talent.
No matter how high his talent was, it had to be converted into actual strength.
Whoosh.
The two Saint Realm experts descended from the sky and appeared before Andres.
The system did not react. Clearly, neither of them possessed Godhood talent.
"Thank you both for saving my life, my lords." Andres hurriedly said.
His gratitude was sincere. Without these two Saint Realm experts, he would already have died at Ratslo's hands.
The white-robed middle-aged man smiled slightly. "No need for courtesy. Come to think of it, the reason Ratslo targeted you has something to do with us."
Andres raised an eyebrow, confusion filling his heart.
It has something to do with them? Then it seems it wasn't because of Resior.
Just as he was about to ask, the white-robed middle-aged man raised a hand to stop him.
"No rush. We'll talk once everyone is here."
The white-robed middle-aged man looked at Inori.
"Inori, come here."
Inori respectfully walked over to him. From the way she acted, it was clear that she knew his identity.
"Greetings, Lord Trevor," Inori said respectfully.
Andres's heart stirred as he recalled someone.
Trevor! The White Robe Sword Saint, Trevor!
The White Robe Sword Saint, Trevor, was an exceptionally famous human Saint Realm expert.
Although the human Saint Realm experts were all on the Sacred Tree Continent, their reputations had also spread through the human kingdoms of the Noah Continent.
Within the Oga Kingdom, the most famous was undoubtedly the Wind Sage, humanity's first Saint Realm expert.
The Blazing Sword Saint, Abad, was also highly renowned, because Abad and the founding king of the Oga Kingdom had been close friends.
Aside from those two, the most famous human Saint Realm expert in the Oga Kingdom was the White Robe Sword Saint, Trevor.
Trevor had once lived in the Oga Kingdom as well. He was still under a hundred years old, making him extremely young for a Saint Realm expert with an infinite lifespan.
"There's one more person."
Trevor looked up into the sky.
Andres followed his gaze and saw a Gale Eagle descending from above.
Two men climbed down from the Gale Eagle's back.
"Teresa! Alisson!" Andres recognized them both.
When Trevor saw Teresa, he smiled faintly. "Now everyone is here."
Teresa and Alisson walked over. There was still lingering shock in the way they looked at Andres.
They had both witnessed Andres kill Resior, and even now, they found it hard to believe.
At the same time, they were deeply curious as to why Andres had improved so dramatically.
However, it was not convenient for them to ask directly at the moment.
"Greetings, my lord." Teresa and Alisson bowed to Trevor.
Trevor nodded. "Let me introduce myself first. I am Trevor, a Saint Realm expert of the Holy Alliance. This man beside me is Kondra, a Saint Realm expert of the Life Elf Race. He is also a member of the Holy Alliance."
"Greetings, Lord Trevor. Greetings, Lord Kondra," Andres and the others said in unison.
Kondra nodded in acknowledgment.
"Inori and Teresa, I already know the two of you. But you—you gave me quite a surprise tonight. What is your name?" Trevor looked at Andres, light gleaming in his eyes.
"This junior is Andres."
"Andres? Very good. You have mastered Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth. In terms of realm, you have already reached the level of a Saint Realm expert. Next, as long as you accumulate enough Battle Qi, you can become a Saint Realm expert."
The moment Trevor said this, Inori, Teresa, and Alisson all widened their eyes in utter shock.
They had suspected as much before, but it had never been fully confirmed. Now that Trevor had said it, there could naturally be no mistake.
Trevor continued, "It is only a matter of time before you become a Saint Realm expert. The Beastmen Saint Realm expert Ratslo tried to kill you because he wanted to eliminate you before you could become one. Otherwise, a mere mortal war would never draw the intervention of a Saint Realm expert."
At this point, Trevor revealed a trace of apology. "In truth, I am also the reason you were placed in danger. I came here to observe the battle in order to assess whether Inori was qualified to join the Holy Alliance. Ratslo only appeared here to prevent me from interfering in the war, but as a result, he happened to discover your strength."
So that's how it is. No wonder Trevor said Ratslo targeting me had something to do with them, Andres thought.
Saint Realm experts possessed infinite lifespans and had already transcended the mortal world. Under normal circumstances, they did not involve themselves in mortal wars.
Trevor's expression suddenly turned solemn. "Andres, in my capacity as a member of the Holy Alliance, I now invite you to join the Holy Alliance. Are you willing?"
