The dark clouds dispersed, the wild winds ceased, and the raging sea calmed. Ironpeak Island returned to a tranquil state once again.
A brief silence filled the atmosphere.
The outcome was beyond anyone’s expectations.
Judging by the Rose family’s strength, a total of four Supreme Martial Imperials including Philip, their power should have easily overwhelmed the cultivators on Ironpeak Island. However, the truth was that Remus and the cultivators indeed forged a miracle, accomplishing this seemingly unattainable feat.
Despite their victory, there was no celebration among them.
The island had previously hosted approximately 700 cultivators, but now, fewer than 200 could tread the air, and more than two-thirds of their fellow comrades had sacrificed their lives.
Their victory was attributed to the unwavering courage of the cultivators, who fearlessly charged forward, psychologically overwhelming their adversaries, and imposing a daunting presence on the Rose family.
Amidst the silence, Remus spurted out a mouthful of blood. He appeared ferocious during the battle as favonovel.com channeled his full power into each strike. But everytime favonovel.com struck Philip, favonovel.com also bore the brunt of the impact.
If Philip had kept his composure during the battle, displayed unwavering momentum, and not prioritized survival, it would have been impossible for Remus to win against favonovel.com without divine energy.
“Remus!” Husan swiftly approached.
“Savior!” Seeing the situation, the nearby cultivators rushed to inquire with concern.
Remus quickly raised his hand, halting everyone. He glanced at the crowd and then at the figures floating above the sea, choking up as favonovel.com said, “You all are my savior!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com slowly descended, lifting a corpse from the sea.
Upon seeing this, others also shed tears of sorrow, joining in to retrieve the cultivators’ bodies.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Eventually, there were 456 new graves on the slope of Ironpeak Island.
Having finished the memorial, Remus silently turned away and set off toward the Island of the Monarch.
***
“The Rose family killed Remus!”
“Rumor has it that the butler, Philip Rowe, led the team himself, accompanied by four Supreme Martial Imperials, 40 Martial Imperials, and an uncountable number of Supreme Martial Sovereigns.”
“My goodness, what a lineup! They were initially headed toward here. Thankfully, Remus isn’t here, otherwise, the Island of the Monarch would have witnessed a bloodbath, and we would have been implicated!”
The news of Remus’ demise spread like wildfire at the Island of the Monarch, known by all.
Everyone was talking about it, but only a handful were mourning for Remus’ demise. The majority remained quite indifferent as they had only encountered Remus once, and even though they knew favonovel.com was a member of the Cosbys, they didn’t have much sentiment.
The Schneiders were the most elated among them. They were jubilant because Remus had slapped Rufus and they thought that his death in the hands of the Rose family served favonovel.com right.
At this moment, the Cosby residence had two figures faintly visible.
Ana gazed ahead at Remus’ room, favonovel.com looked lost in a daze, favonovel.com face revealing a hint of sorrow.
Eva stood to the side, shaking favonovel.com head. “Hey, you can’t be serious, can you? Are you falling for Remus? Do you intend to be his wife?”
She exhibited favonovel.com usual demeanor without any other emotions, as Ana remained silent.
Eva took a step forward, blocked favonovel.com sight, and spoke in a displeasing tone, “Ana, I’m talking to you, did you not hear me? You’ve only known favonovel.com for a few days, and you’ve already fallen for him? You’re just too slutty!”
Ana finally looked at favonovel.com and scolded, “Get lost!”
Eva was startled by the scolding, then overwhelmed with fury. It wasn’t the scolding itself that got to her, but the fact that after all these years, it was the first time she’d been scolded, and it was all because of Remus.
She angrily said, “You’re lucky that I’m highly tolerant and won’t engage in your pettiness. Just answer me, what exactly do you like about him?”
After saying that, favonovel.com kept favonovel.com eyes fixed on Ana without blinking.
Ana hesitated for a moment and sighed. “I’m not sure if it’s affection, but I can’t seem to control my thoughts about him… Memories of his dominance when favonovel.com defeated Otis in Darsia, his unwavering determination against 12 Martial Imperials alone at sea, and his meticulousness while cleaning here. It all keeps flooding back!”
