Chapter 377


    As Stormcast surged with change, within a mere three days, tens of thousands of mighty beings


    converged on the wilderness outside the city. A sea of figures, stretching as far as the eye could


    see, hailed from differentnds and factions. Among them were Novice Mages and even Master


    Mages, some purely spectators, others with specific purposes. It was a gathering of grand scale,


    and all eyes were fixed on the ancient city''s turbulent events.


    The Commanders of the five great Organizations—the Hidden Essence, the Skyborne Rivers, the


    Earthbound Spirits, the Starlit Echoes, and the Ster Precepts—graced the gathering with their


    presence.


    Lords such as Falconcrest, Mountguard, Warbringer, and Skyveil arrived in quick session.


    This unprecedented assembly reminded many of the allure of the Kings'' eptance and provided a


    feast for the eyes of onlookers. There was a rare assembly of Archmages, among which renowned


    figures such as Viperbane and Falconcrest were present. These mighty rulers of the Nortnds,


    seldom seen, graced the gathering with their full presence. Many renowned chieftains and


    household leaders from the Nortnds also made their appearances, causing quite a stir.

    The Kings'' eptance drew much attention because many had deciphered powerful secret magic


    from relics obtained from Antis. They had heard tales of guardian spirits that could withstand a


    direct confrontation with the likes of Lord Viperbane, hinting at the terrifying might of the ancient


    “kings” and the tantalizing secrets of the Kings'' eptance.


    With hopes and dreams, many believed that chaos breeds opportunity, and so they mingled within


    the crowd, each with their own agenda.


    Elders and Protégés from Cobalt Strike burst forth from the dense woonds, arriving at the


    wilderness. Given the situation, they stayed at a distance, not daring to approach the ancient city


    too closely. From afar, the eight Commanders, five Lords, and their powerful followers, including


    twenty Archmages, floated high in the sky. Their energies churned like a vast ocean, warping the


    very fabric of space. Their presences varied—some majestic, some wild, some solemn, and some


    grim—each with their own unique ir.


    The energy of thend within a hundred miles was thrown into disarray, drawn ceaselessly toward


    the vicinity of Stormcast.


    The sky darkened, and clouds gathered thickly, obscuring the heavens with thunder roaring and


    bright shes within. On the wilderness below, fierce winds howled, and water seemed to twist in


    the air while the earth itself undted irregrly, all due to the excess umtion of elemental


    energies.


    Tens of thousands of strong beings kept their distance, none daring to approach. They watched the


    skies with reverence, wary of the divine-like warriors.


    As the Commanders of the Organizations and the Lords arrived, the opposing factions began to


    take shape amidst the chaotic disputes and confrontations.


    Lords such as Warbringer were irate at Lord Viperbane’s interference in the Eight Orders’ affairs,


    but after seeing him bloodied by Jarad''s blows, they grudgingly joined forces with him, forming the


    most formidable power bloc.


    On the side of Stormcast, there gathered the Bloodlore Commander Jarad, the Earthbound Spirits


    Commander Bah, the Starlit Echoes Commander and friend of Kashann, and the Floral


    Enchantress Commander.


    The Earthbound Spirits Commander Bah, known for his straightforward nature, chastised Lord


    Viperbane and the Grand Elder upon arrival. As the third-ranked power of the Eight Orders, and


    with a fiery temper, he nearly came to blows. It was this that forced the likes of Lord Warbringer to


    reluctantly stand by Lord Viperbane''s side. They couldn''t just stand by and watch Lord Viperbane be


    torn apart by the Earthbound Spirits Commander and the Bloodlore Commander, could they?


    The Ster Precepts Commander, the Hidden Essence Commander, and the Skyborne Rivers


    Commander remained ambiguous but seemed to covet the secrets of the Kings'' eptance. They


    repeatedly demanded vin''s presence to further rify the mysteries of the Kings'' eptance.


    The Floral Enchantress Commander had made her stance clear; she would only defend and not


    intervene, meaning if the situation spiraled out of control, she might be the first to withdraw.


    And so...


    Three major camps formed around the outskirts of Stormcast, both sides coveting the secrets


    vin held within the ancient city, with Jarad and his allies under immense pressure.
