The prickling sensation grew more intense, making Isaac more aware that the opportunity for a breakthrough was here.
After some time, his body was drenched with sweat, despite being barraged by the sea wind. All the veins on his forehead were protruding. At this point, the pain wasn’t just coming from his power core.
Every vein in his body felt swollen.
Isaac gritted his teeth harshly. His breath grew more and more labored, and the spiritual energy swirling in his power core was already at maximum speed.
Suddenly…
“Argh!” Isaac’s eyes flew open, and favonovel.com let out a thundering roar.
The spiritual energy circulating within favonovel.com stopped abruptly. His veins began to expand slowly, and his power core began to grow.
A surge of power, several times more powerful than before, burst into the surroundings and toward the sky.
At the same time, in the rooms on the upper floor of the temple, the generals, some busy on the phone, some resting, looked out the window simultaneously.
Colton was holding a satellite phone in his hand.
After looking out the window for a few seconds, his eyes widened with shock. Then, favonovel.com was filled with pure joy. He threw the phone onto the floor and ran outside.
The doors to the other generals’ rooms opened one after another. The generals all rushed downstairs and began to sprint toward the sea.
Once the seven generals arrived at the Stone of Longing, they raised their heads to look at Isaac, who was still seated on the rock. Beneath the moonlight, favonovel.com looked at peace, much like a monk.
The terrifying power from earlier had disappeared completely.
“Ah! Argh!” Isaac suddenly raised both arms and stretched. He slowly got to his feet.
When favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com saw seven people standing behind favonovel.com on the sand.
The next second, the seven of them got on one knee and said in unison, “Congratulations, Drakon, on your breakthrough once again!”
“I couldn’t hold it back anymore… I didn’t expect to have alerted you guys…” A refreshed smile bloomed on Isaca’s face.
He also didn’t expect to break through to the intermediate stage of the Divinity Phase now.
Just like the previous Drakon had said, in martial arts, “Opportunity and inspiration came looking for you, not the other way around.”
This time, favonovel.com truly understood what it meant.
“Drakon, if you keep doing this, then we’re going to look so much smaller before you,” Willis said, pouting and scratching the back of his head.
“Enough with your nonsense. Drakon’s breakthrough is our blessing, as well as the blessing of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the whole Temple of Drakon,” Janessa said slightly snobbishly, rolling favonovel.com eyes at Willis.
Isaac smiled and said, “Alright. The great battle awaits. Stop bickering and get back to work. I’m younger than you, if I don’t get stronger, then how will I lord over you?”
The generals paused before breaking into laughter.
One day flew by. Only the generals knew about Isaac’s breakthrough, yet they didn’t even have the time to celebrate. They had to crosscheck their intel with Black Phoenix’s, and it was a huge workload.
The sun went down. In his big yet simple office, Isaac stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the sunset.
He wondered, “If Astraeus is wiped out, then will Thaddeus, the one who has led Astraeus to glory, show up?”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Black Phoenix pushed the door open, walking in with a name list in favonovel.com hand.
“Drakon, this is the verified name list of Astraeus members to assassinate. Please have a look. Also, the seven generals will lead their armies personally.”
Isaac took the name list and began to flick through it. There were a dozen pages and a total of 78 names.
He picked up a red pen and drew two crosses next to the names of Jeremiah Yves and Phineas Lodge. Then, favonovel.com raised his head to look at Black Phoenix. “Tell the others that the hunt begins…”
