The immensely grand attributes sent waves of astonishment through Ethan’s core.

Even so, he didn’t have any objective measure to verify the extent of his newfound strength, yet he felt as if a mere flick of his wrist could obliterate a mountain. 

This unprecedented sense of power was extraordinary. Moreover, his strength was labeled as “Limit.”

“Could this be the pinnacle for a common man? To ascend further, must one step into the divine realm?” Ethan harbored such a hypothesis in his heart.

Furthermore, this guess could very well be accurate, but it remained unverifiable. “Now, if I encounter a monster like Edith again, a single punch would suffice to kill her, reducing her to a pulp,” Ethan thought, filled with vehement confidence.

At this moment, Sherry spoke, informing Ethan of Rhine’s arrival.

“While you were undergoing your transformation, Commander Rhine visited. She asked to see you once you awake,” she said.

“Mhm, I understand,” Ethan nodded affirmatively. 

Even without Rhine’s summons, he had intended to visit her. 

He hadn’t lost sight of his objective — to gauge the true might of these monsters. 

This desire had only intensified, potentially influenced by the news about Lana Mokos. 

Of course, it was coupled with the urge to test his own limits.

Subsequently, Ethan departed from his residence, heading towards the frontline underground command center. 

Upon his arrival, Rhine was engrossed in orchestrating some military dispatches, exuding a scholarly aura that emanated tranquility, inviting no disturbances.

“Black Dragon, you’ve arrived,” she greeted, only lifting her gaze after settling her duties.

Ethan nodded before inquiring, “Commander Rhine, may I ask why you summoned me?”

“Well, there are some wounded soldiers at the frontlines who require your healing abilities. It shouldn’t pose a challenge for you,” Rhine explained, pausing momentarily before continuing with a smile, “Also, here is your military order.”

She handed Ethan a piece of paper bearing her handwritten signature, granting him considerable freedom within the underground command center.

As Ethan accepted the document, Rhine expressed her astonishment, “I didn’t expect Old John to take you as his disciple.”

Ethan could sense Rhine’s surprise at this development, which apparently seemed to her an unbelievable turn of events.𝓃𝑜𝑣𝓔𝗅𝗇𝓮xt.𝕔𝔬𝗆

Ethan grew curious, eager to learn about this John from Rhine, and inquired, “Commander, do you know anything about Teacher John?”

“A bit,” Rhine nodded, then suddenly burst into a lazy smile, stretching languorously before propping her face up with one hand, and teasingly said, “But if you’re hoping to get details about Old John from me, you’re going to be disappointed. I once promised him that I wouldn’t reveal his past.”

“However, there is one piece of information I can share.”

“Lana Mokos, after learning that Old John was not merely an Apothecary but a Master Alchemist, expressed a desire to become his disciple, but was turned down. I never expected that he would choose you to be his student. Learn alchemy diligently, who knows, you might have a chance to surpass Old John.”

Rhine advised with a smile, before gesturing for Ethan to leave. Seeing this, Ethan didn’t linger.

“Lana Mokos wanted to become Teacher John’s student?” Ethan was immensely surprised.

Despite having met Lana Mokos only once, he had inferred from various circumstances that she was incredibly proud. Yet, it seemed she acknowledged Old John.

“It seems the teacher is no small figure.”

“Even this name, ‘John,’ might be an alias.”

Ethan speculated silently, before traversing the main avenue to visit the infirmary once again. Upon his arrival, Lehman greeted him warmly, “Mr. Black Dragon, you’ve finally come.”

Lehman guided Ethan, gathering the wounded soldiers.  I think you should take a look at

They formed a line, but just as Ethan was about to invoke his Holy Light domain, a surprised shout rang out from among the wounded soldiers, “Black Dragon!”

Lehman’s face instantly turned cold.

He yelled at the lined-up wounded soldiers, “Who shouted? Step forward now!” To Lehman, addressing Ethan so directly was an utterly disrespectful act.

The soldiers dispersed, revealing the individual who had shouted. 

The man was tall and thin, with a slightly pale complexion. 

A terrifying wound adorned his chest where a sharp object had gouged a hole, exposing the internal organs within.

Before Lehman could reprimand him, Ethan exclaimed in equal surprise, “Blood!” The person before him was none other than Dark Lord Blood.

“Mr. Black Dragon, do you know each other?” Lehman now perceived the unusual relationship between the two.

Ethan nodded, responding, “Yes, like me, he is from outside.”

“I see.” Lehman smiled, deciding not to pursue the matter further.

Ethan did not continue the conversation with Dark Lord Blood either; instead, he instructed the wounded soldiers to assemble again. 

After utilizing his Holy Light domain to heal the numerous wounded, he left Dark Lord Blood aside.

“Why have you come as well?” Ethan asked curiously.

Upon entering Maya City, people like Dark Lord Rock had constantly warned against confronting the monsters at the front lines, yet here Dark Lord Blood was.

Dark Lord Blood briefly explained what had happened, his face betraying a fearful expression. “Black Dragon, since you’ve been stationed in this underground command post, you should stay here. Those monsters are too terrifying. Just one swipe of their claws and several of us couldn’t hold them back.”

“I’ve been gravely injured, while Ice and Vulture were killed outright.”

“Only Rock managed to shield himself by transforming into his true form, becoming a rock, and thus withstood the monster’s swipe.”

Although they were later informed that the monster that attacked them was a very rare entity among its kind, this did little to alleviate Dark Lord Blood’s fear.

Just then, several soldiers, covered in blood, ran in from outside the infirmary.

Their faces displayed terror as they shouted, “General Lehman, it’s a disaster, a Golden Gryphon has emerged among the monsters, and we can barely hold on. The Golden Gryphon is systematically destroying the Beast Crossbows!”

Upon hearing the shouts, Lehman dashed out instantly. 

He swiftly rallied the soldiers and sprinted down the corridor towards the battlefield. 

Although Lehman understood that they were facing an inevitable defeat in this war, it could not come to an end at this juncture. 

The inhabitants of Maya City had not yet been evacuated, and many essential records and materials hadn’t been moved. 

If the defense lines collapsed now, everything would be over.

As Lehman hurriedly left, Ethan followed suit, saying, “General Lehman, let me go with you.”

Lehman immediately stopped Ethan, “Mr. Black Dragon, the battlefield is too dangerous. I fear you…”

Lehman could not finish his words as Ethan slightly revealed a hint of his power. 

This tiny release of energy paralyzed Lehman, who stared at Ethan, his eyes bulging with disbelief. 

Only when Ethan withdrew his energy did Lehman regain his composure, panting heavily.

“Well, am I allowed on the battlefield now?” Ethan inquired.

Lehman nodded vigorously, demonstrating obedience towards a stronger force. 

He loudly proclaimed, “Absolutely!” Inside, he harbored a burgeoning expectation. 

The aura he felt emanating from Ethan just now was something he had only felt from a monster, the Angry Dragon Haviss, and it seemed that wasn’t Ethan’s limit. 

Yet, this alone had left Lehman astounded.

“If Mr. Black Dragon could assist us, perhaps this war…” Lehman began to fantasize, but quickly snapped back to reality, leading the soldiers to the battlefield.

Ethan also followed the troop out, entering the heart of the battlefield. 

As they emerged, a colossal rhinoceros, as tall as a three-story building, charged erratically towards them. 

The rhinoceros had densely packed sharp horns on its head and bore blue spots on its body.

Lehman promptly warned, “Mr. Black Dragon, this is a Blue-spotted Rhino, they—”

Before he could finish, Lehman and the soldiers witnessed a scene they would find hard to forget in their lifetimes, a scene potent enough to shake the core of their existence.
