Chapter 326


    "Lord vin, are you invincible in your rank now?" Godfred was extremely proud, as if the victory


    was his own.


    "A face-to-face confrontation on the dueling stage is different from actualbat. The


    Shadowbringer cannot always be effective. The world is vast. Beyond Cobalt Strike lies the


    Nortnds, beyond the Nortnds lies the Royal Realm, beyond the Royal Realm lies the


    Kingdoms, beyond the Kingdoms lies the Sacred Territory, and beyond that, an even broader world.


    I have only taken a small step." vin was not so proud as to be inted by his victory over Semar


    and the others, even though the Protégés of Cobalt Strike were shocked.


    "Lord vin, has Icebound truly had no effect?" Grima asked quietly, lowering his voice.


    "It has had an effect. It couldn''t stop it, but it could dispel it."


    "We''ll have to be more cautious in the future." Grima nodded. Of course! Semar and the others


    must have tested their confidence in challenging, but still underestimated the vin''s


    Shadowbringer.


    E trod lightly up the stairs. "Cobalt Strike no longer offers you a challenge. Try your hand at


    Bloodlore. Each of the eight great Organizations has its own ir, and there''s bound to be one that


    suits you. Frankly, Cobalt Strike''s Golden Protégé isn''t as strong as I had imagined, not nearly as


    impressive as Mari and Cedrick."


    "They carry too much honor, unable to bear the weight of defeat. If it really came to a battle,


    whether I could beat Roald is anybody''s guess."


    Suddenly, E looped her arm through vin''s. "Give it to me straight. Will you truly be a


    Commander?"


    "Who can say what the future holds?"

    "Tell me if you''re willing. If you be a Commander, our fates will part. Make a choice, pick me or


    the title of Commander."


    Carlys couldn''t stand it any longer and huffed. "Let go! Embrace your own dreams."


    E teased her, "Why don''t you join in, little one? There''s still an arm free, all yours."


    Carlys clung tightly and red defiantly at E.


    vin awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Carlys, why don''t you show E around? Let her admire the


    sights of Cobalt Strike."


    "Where will you be off to?"


    "To the Sanctum of Mystical Scrolls to acquire a set of Combat Magic."


    "You need more Combat Magic? Isn''t what you have enough for your training?" E wondered,


    what sort of Combat Magic within Cobalt Strike could pique vin''s interest.


    "A very special set of Combat Magic, the Gigas Grasp."


    After leaving the Arena, vin headed straight for the Sanctum of Mystical Scrolls.,With his status


    as a Golden Protégé, he could easily ess the ce and take any suitable Combat Magic.


    The guardian Elder greeted him with a nod and a smile, seemingly aware of his purpose. "The


    Master Combat Magic is on the top floor. Take this key."


    "Thank you, Elder." vin epted the key.


    Today, the Sanctum of Mystical Scrolls wasn''t crowded. Most Elite Protégés had gone to watch the


    martial disy and hadn''t yet returned.


    The top floor was the vault where the Master Combat Magic was kept, guarded by two solemn


    middle-aged Protégés and a heavy iron door.


    The key didn''t even need to be inserted. It floated up on its own, glowing brightly, and fused with the


    iron door. The glow quickly spread across every intricate design of the door, shining so brilliantly


    that it was difficult to keep one''s eyes open. A series of nking sounds came from within, as


    multiple heavy locks disengaged in session.


    "Please," the two middle-aged Protégés said expressionlessly, their demeanor serious.


    vin pushed open the iron door and entered the top level. It was like stepping into a different


    realm, as if he had walked into a river of stars, with dazzling lights and shadows creating a surreal


    spectacle.


    Thousands of magical ores floated freely in the air, twinkling like stars. The floor was a hundred


    meters wide, with a starburst array surrounded by sixteen stone pirs that seemed one with the


    array, all pulsating with surging magic.


    vin stepped into the starburst array, astonished by the environment that far exceeded his


    expectations.


    More than a dozen Master Combat Magic books were enveloped in glowing light, hovering mid-air.


    They seemed to possess a faint sentience, gathering in areas dense with magical ores, drawing


    magic from within.
