Chapter 172 Huo Wen's sudden change
Syat, Greenbrook Province.
Hundreds of core members of the Hoven family were hiding secretly in a secluded mountain range. Near the cave, the Hoven family had already prepared a powerful barrier in advance. All family members were waiting for Earl Hoven to successfully reach the monarch level.
As long as he can reach the monarch level, the crumbling Hoven family can continue to hold on.
In order to avoid being attacked, they also sought out two powerful foreign aids at the lower level of the monarch, namely the next heir to the Hoven family of Valere, "Mountain Axe", and a tall woman wearing a mask with a mysterious identity, "The Ruined Lady".
Count Hoven did not choose to break through the monarch at the family residence because it was too conspicuous. Even though the barrier effect of the family residence was more powerful, it was still a huge target, just waiting for others to come and make trouble.
The decision now was a bit risky, but they did go a whole year without being discovered by the family's enemies.
At the entrance of the cave, an impatient man paced back and forth.
"Axe of the Mountain" is a powerful person below the monarch, only in his thirties, wearing a straight black suit, with an unhappy expression on his face and a frown on his brows.
"Your family is in such a miserable state. Several other big families in Syat have actually isolated you..."
"It's been a year, why hasn't that old guy succeeded in breaking through, and hasn't failed either..."
He looked at the blood relatives of the Hoven family and couldn't help complaining. The people of the Hoven family smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to refute a word.
Although the two Hoven families have been separated for many years and have taken root in two different countries, they still keep in touch. "Axe of the Mountain" is actually the nephew of Count Hoven.
Otherwise, even if this side is willing to provide more resources, he will not easily come over to help.
In fact, only the "Anzenos" Meyer family and the "Ether Dragon" Wilson family did not split up, while the other eight pillar families all spread out throughout the four eastern countries, but the branches that could rise up were always a minority.
A hundred years ago, everyone was an alliance against the Loen people, and it was normal for them to intermarry and live together.
Therefore, in the war among the four eastern countries more than fifty years ago, the death rate of nobles was very low. Just as old Raymond once said, nobles would not easily kill each other, and the civilians suffered the most casualties.
It was from the generation of Viscount Best that the nobles of the ten major families began to completely tear each other apart, and the initial alliance had completely dissipated.
"I really can't wait any longer. There are many things over there that I need to deal with!"
The complaints of "Axe of the Mountain" are justified. They established the "Oath" to come here to help, and they cannot leave until the results come out.
As a result, they didn't expect that Count Hoven was so energy-consuming and procrastinating. There was no sign of a breakthrough for more than a year, but he never failed completely.
As a result, "Axe of the Mountain" was unable to return home and was almost trapped in Syat, feeling very upset.
The "ruined lady" standing nearby was a woman wrapped in a black robe. She hadn't said a word for more than a year, just quietly waiting for the outcome.
There are hundreds of extraordinary people in the cave, and even a dozen of them have reached the level of qualitative change. They are all direct blood relatives of the Hoven family. As for the extraordinary people of affiliated forces, they were not called here by the Hoven family in order to keep it secret.
The members of the Hoven family used to wait nervously every day, but now they are a little relaxed and numb.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
Suddenly, a loud laughter coming from the mountains made everyone stunned for a moment, and they immediately became nervous and alert!
"Finally I found you. Earl Hoven actually hid here for a year. This is something many people didn't expect."
Axe of the Mountain was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Things are not good, it seems that the crazy people from the Star Embrace Society have come!"
The next moment, he had walked out of the cave, and in just a moment of taking a step he had activated the powerful demigod bloodline, the Broken Giant that existed in the first era!
The giant's hundreds-meter-long body is covered with cracks and scars, as if it had experienced countless brutal wars. Each crack exudes a disturbing energy, and the pale light revealed between the broken skin reminds people of death and destruction.
Its eyes were as dark as the abyss, without any emotion, only cold emptiness, and its huge body was shrouded in a deep shadow.
When the Broken Giant took a step, the ground shook with a thunderous roar, as if the whole world was moved.
"Broken Field!"
The next moment, "Axe of the Mountain" opened its bloodline field without hesitation, allowing a very terrifying white force to spread out in all directions.
Unlike spells that spellcasters actively choose to "engraving with words", the domain power characteristics of bloodline knights all come from their own bloodline characteristics.
The barrier in the mountains has been activated, and an infinite light shield covers the entire mountain range, and all enemies will be greatly suppressed.
After activating the barrier, the people of the Hoven family felt endless fear, because in front of the mountain-like Broken Giant, it seemed that all hope seemed to become insignificant.
Every breath of the Broken Giant seems to release some kind of ominous omen, filling people's hearts with despair. The terrible Broken Giant is like the messenger of the end of the world, and its existence itself is a prophecy of disaster!
It is said that the real Broken Giant has a body tens of thousands of meters high. It has become broken after challenging the almighty gods. Every time it breathes, it can release catastrophic power that is unimaginable to humans.
"Mountain Axe" was always alert and staring at every position. Where was the madman from the Star Embrace Society? Why couldn't he sense his presence?
The next moment, some powerful and terrifying force appeared out of nowhere, as if an invisible giant eye was staring at the "Mountain Axe" in mid-air.
"Sinners, you do not understand the greatness of our God, so there is no need for salvation."
Many extraordinary people gradually appeared from all directions, and among the people who came from the Star-Embracing Society to attack Earl Hoven, there were even more than one monarch-level strong men!
A barrier slowly rose in the canyon. The members of the Hoven family were extremely nervous, but the "Mountain Axe" who had transformed into the "Broken Giant" resisted the invisible gaze power and was ready to take action without hesitation.
In his hand, he wielded a giant axe made of rocks and runes. In the instant of the swing, the pale and disturbing energy was driven wildly, instantly shattering the distant mountaintop.
Even the "broken lady" who had been silent for more than a year came out of the cave.
A melee between several powerful monarchs is about to break out!
However, at this moment, everyone felt a subtle feeling, as if a certain increasingly strong and accumulated power and momentum had inadvertently dissipated.
"Mountain Axe" and "Ruinous Lady" were the first to realize that their oaths were fulfilled, but Count Hoven, who was about to break through to the monarch level, did not come out from underground.
"It seems that I failed in the end."
"Mountain Axe" was very disappointed and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
The leader of the Star Embracing Society was still in an unknown location, but his voice slowly came out:
"We also wasted a year. The failure of the criminal was actually a matter of course. Count Hoven himself was not qualified enough. He just gambled everything and used the dangerous method of forbidden knowledge to force his way into the palace."
"The probability of success is too small. He cannot break through the door, cannot step into the palace, and will die outside of glory. This is undoubtedly his final outcome."
Star Embrace will choose to retreat, while Axe of the Mountain and the Ruined Lady have no intention of pursuing.
The Ruined Lady immediately vanished, and the Mountain Axe let out a roar that shook the mountains.
"The reward has been paid, and we will no longer be involved in Siat's affairs. If you want to leave Siat and join my family, I welcome you... After all, our last name is Huo Wen."
Then he disappeared into the earth.
The two powerful monarchs who were watching from a distance and decided to act according to the situation also left. They decided to track the traces of the Star Embracing Society and immediately contact the powerful people of the Orthodox Church to deal with that group of lunatics.
In the end, only the members of the Hoven family were left crying and wailing.
——
After that day, Byrne returned to the Fisher family, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Using the extraordinary powers of "deconstruction perspective" and "self-made recipes", he recently improved the special potion "Lost Shadow" used in the Lost Ritual. The Dawnbreakers who take "Lost Shadow" will be able to further feel the glory of the Lost Lord.
The impact of the "Lost Shadow" will not only affect low-level transcendents, but also transcendents of any level.
Sava, who was a low-ranking officer in the Kingdom Army during the Dawnbreakers and is now a lieutenant, has finally reached the second step of the Road to Disaster, "Thunder Servant".
And the chief of police in Fein Police Station, Momir, also successfully reached the second step of the Sacrifice Road, "Listener".
Among the second generation of Dawnbreakers, only Inna in the Path of Love has not yet made a breakthrough.
That day, the calm Byrne picked up a popular book in the study and read it. The title written on the black cover was "The Greatest Emperor of the Seven Stars".
Although Loen was already the most powerful and terrifying empire in the entire world, a few decades ago, a person who was probably the strongest transcendent suddenly appeared in the Qiyao Empire. He was the Qiyao Emperor who was known as the "God of War". He led the Qiyao Empire on his own to fight against the joint encirclement of the Loen Empire and its neighboring countries.
Just then, the door of the study was pushed open, and Darren, who was engaged to the girl from the Odd family, walked in with his head lowered.
The young man hesitated for a long time before hesitating for a while and asked with a smile:
"Father, if my children are mortals and never take the Knight Awakening Potion or master the power of the sequence, can they reproduce indefinitely?"
Without even putting down the book in his hand, Byrne just shook his head and replied:
"Of course not. Otherwise, what's the point of the restrictions of the gods? Your child also has a hidden bloodline. Even if it is not activated, it will still be bound by the laws."
After hearing the explanation, Darren subconsciously touched his face to ease the embarrassment and said:
"Oh, so that's how it is. It seems that every descendant of the Fisher family is indeed very important."
Byrne suddenly put down the book in his hand, stared coldly at Darren who was a little panicked, and had a bad feeling deep in his heart.
