“That’s right. He’s the descendant of King Rouge.”
Then, the smile disappeared from Rose’s face. She began to talk about the beginnings of the dark forces and how they seeped into the Emerald Hall, leading to the great battle 28 years ago.
This was the first time Isaac heard his grandmother talk about the Darmonic Sect.
“Where’s the Darmonic Sect at?” Isaac asked curiously.
“At first, they were confined beneath the mountains behind the Emerald Hall. Now, we don’t know… During that battle, your father slayed the leader of the Darmonic Sect, Winston Jacque, and three elders. Thousands of Darmonic Sect members died in Mt. Emerald. The cost of that is the burial sites of over 200 Guardians, including your father’s…”
“The Emerald Hall fell, and the Darmonic Sect was on the brink of dying out.” Rose sighed and gazed into the horizon. She seemed to be remembering those times, and favonovel.com still seemed uneasy even now.
Isaac frowned. “What about my grandfather? And my mother?”
“Your grandfather… I don’t know either. He left many years ago. Some say favonovel.com failed to break through and died in the sea. As for your mother…” Rose regarded Isaac with a sorrowful expression. “No one in the Emerald Hall knows who your mother is. Even I only learned about your existence afterward.”
Isaac was taken aback.
No one knew who my mother was?
The grandmother and grandson sat there talking for an entire day.
After sitting for a long time, Isaac took Rose on a stroll in the yard. Rose had told favonovel.com everything favonovel.com was confused about and everything favonovel.com wanted to know.
Morgan was the strongest Guardian at the time, second only to his father, Gael. Afterward, when the great battle broke out, the others learned that Morgan had colluded with the Darmonic Sect to open the gates of the Emerald Hall.
It had been too sudden. The entire Emerald Hall instantly became purgatory on earth, and there were countless deaths.
Isaac had also been under the impression that the Celestial Phase was the highest level achievable by a martial artist. But Rose had told favonovel.com that there were four more phases above the Celestial Phase, known as the Shattering Phase, the Soul Phase, the Spiritual Phase, and the Blazing Phase.
Back then, his father had been at the peak of the Soul Phase and looked down on the rest of the world.
Isaac said favonovel.com wanted to take his grandmother to the outside world to see the bustling cities, ride airplanes, travel the world, and meet favonovel.com granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter.
However, Rose declined. She said favonovel.com couldn’t leave since all favonovel.com family was here.
Isaac also knew there were many more stone towers in the secret realm. They imprisoned Morgan’s subordinates, who had also turned traitorous. Even if any of them got into the outside world, they could wreak havoc in the world. Rose had to keep an eye on them.
Isaac then said favonovel.com wanted to stay and keep favonovel.com company, but favonovel.com rejected the idea once again. She said that favonovel.com had a wife and child-his own family. He couldn’t throw away his responsibility as the man of the house.
When the sun had set, Rose brought Isaac, Lionel, and the rest to the burial grounds.
The giant statue was erected at the highest point. The statue wore golden armor and wielded a longsword. It seemed to be glowering at everything below the Emerald Hall.
When Isaac raised his head, a loud bell went off in his head.
Isn’t this the man I’ve seen standing at the mountaintop in the mirage in the valley?
It was my father?!
Isaac knelt down. Lionel followed suit, but favonovel.com was already crying.
Finally, Isaac had an image of his father’s face in his head. Before this, the faces of his parents had been blank.
After paying respects to his father and his ancestors, favonovel.com heard from Donovan that they’d tracked down Morgan. They were currently pursuing him. This made Isaac sigh in relief. At least it meant that Magnus wouldn’t run into Morgan now.
After dinner, Isaac accompanied Rose for a walk in the yard.
When Donovan returned, favonovel.com was covered in dirt. He said he’d lost sight of Morgan, but favonovel.com was sure the latter couldn’t leave the realm. The Guardians were keeping a close watch on the exit.
Footsteps sounded outside. Hera swiftly made favonovel.com way over, now having changed into favonovel.com white dress again.
“Lady Roses, were you looking for me?” Seeing Isaac holding Rose, Hera brazenly rolled favonovel.com eyes.
