Sharon froze at his words. Clenching her left hand, she summoned a two-meter meteor from the magic circle above.
Boom!
The meteor plummeted down, striking the eighty monsters that were about to charge at her.
But Sharon didnāt care about that at all.
Her attention remained on her brotherās words.
"Are you serious? Stop all this? How do you even do that?" she asked.
Nolan turned and slashed the heads off two monsters that appeared to his right and left.
"Itās simple," he said, locking his gaze on Levi in the distance. "Iām going to kill Levi. Heās the source of everything. Once heās dead, itās all over."
He spoke so casually, as if he could actually do it.
Sharon was skeptical. It wasnāt that she underestimated her younger brother, but Levi was incredibly strong.
Even the magic Cassiopeia had cast earlier hadnāt harmed him at all. That proved one thingāLevi had anti-magic within him.
Despite Nolanās remarkable fighting skills, she wasnāt convinced he could take down Levi.
On top of that, Levi was undead and couldnāt be killed with physical attacks alone.
Noticing her doubt, Nolan quickly reassured her. "Rest assured, my dear sister. I say this because I am certain. You know me well enough, donāt you?"
His words snapped Sharon out of her doubts. She stared into her brotherās calm, indifferent purple eyes.
For a moment, an overwhelming confidence radiated from them.
In the end, she pushed her doubts aside and chose to trust him.
"All right, Iāll help you," she said firmly. "But you need to bring the heirloom Elina gave you."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out the black triangular stone Nolan had shown her earlier.
As a precaution, Nolan had given it to herābut Sharon couldnāt keep it if he planned to charge straight at Levi.
Nolan, however, shook his head. "No need. I have another heirloom."
He took out an identical stone from his pocket.
Sharon froze. "How can you have two?"
Nolan stayed calm. "Actually, the Singularity of Chaos gave two stonesāone for me, one for Elina. Since Iām her twin brother, the Singularity of Chaos probably worried something might happen to me, and that would make Elina sad."
His words sounded offhand, almost unconvincing. Sharon pressed, "Then why did Elina give you hers?"
Nolan shrugged. "Because she was worried about me. Well, you can see how much she loves me, right?"
Sharon considered his words. To be honest, she remained skepticalāalmost suspicious that Nolan was lying.
But she knew now wasnāt the time to dwell on it.
"Okay, I wonāt ask again. How do you want me to open the way to Levi?"
"Take out all the monsters in that area," Nolan said, pointing to his right. "Iāll run, turn, and strike him from behind. Trust me, I have a way. Otherwise, weāll stay trapped in this siege and never get out."
Having learned what had happened to Levi, he saw no reason to linger in such a tedious situation.
Besides, he wanted to confront the Singularity of Death and give him a
ālessonā
heād never forget.
"I understand. Leave it to me," Sharon replied firmly.
Nolan gave a slight smile. "Letās get started!"

"Damn it! These monsters just wonāt stop!" Jack cursed as he fought off the relentless attackers.
They were all incredibly powerful and nearly overwhelmed him, yet the adrenaline coursing through his veins only made him stronger.
Still, the human body has its limits. He knew that if he pushed too far, exhaustion could cost him his life.
As he fought, dozens of magic circles suddenly appeared in the sky, about thirty meters away from his position.
He was clearly shocked. But before he could recover, another dozen magic circles appeared, lined up neatly like giant snakes.
Under his horrified gaze, the first circle glowed brightly, releasing a bolt of lightning that annihilated the monsters below.
One after anotherāthe second, third, fourth, fifth, and all the subsequent circlesālit up, unleashing immense power that obliterated everything in their path.
Then, a figure sprinted along the line of exploding circles with incredible speed.
Jack swung his spear, killing two monsters, and retreated twenty steps.
His eyes locked onto the figure, and shock gripped him once more.
It was the sixth princeāNolan Lorian!
Prince Nolan? What is he doing?
Jack muttered, stunned.
Nolan was a prince considered trash and uselessāat least, that had been Jackās first impression.
But seeing him fight just now began to change that view. His movements, his techniques, and his calm composure while facing dozens of monsters were nothing short of amazing.
And now, Nolan was doing the unexpected, leaving Jack questioning his true plan.
Following the path of the magic circles, Jack realized the truth.
"Donāt tell me... Heās targeting the undead, Levi?"
His heart raced. If that was true, how brave was Nolan!
Wasnāt he afraid of dying?
Even Cassiopeiaās attacks hadnāt harmed Levi. Yet here was Nolan, daring enough to confront him directly.
All Jack could do was pray that his prince would be all right.
***
On the shattered stage, Levi laughed heartily as he watched Draco and Cassiopeia begin to get cornered.
To him, they were threats that needed to be dealt with. Nolan, Jack, and Sharon, on the other hand, were just small fishānot worth a second thought.
Once theyāre exhausted, Iāll finish off the man, and the woman... will be my plaything,
he muttered with a wide grin.
Even as an undead, his desires remained the same as when he was alive.
Moreover, being transported to this world had erased whatever little morality he had left.
This was a fantasy world where strength and power were all that mattered.
It was the perfect place for someone like him.
Just as he was sinking into his own delight, a continuous series of explosions echoed from the distance.
Startled, he turned toward the source and saw a row of magic circles, lined up like a giant snake.
His eyes widened in shock. "Whatās going on? Why are there so many magic circles?"
Cassiopeia and Draco were fighting on the left side, so it couldnāt be them.
His gaze suddenly fixed on Sharon, her face pale as she raised her left hand.
A massive surge of mana shot from her, wrapping her in a magical shield.
It became clear that she was the source of all those magic circles.
"What is a weak girl like her planning?" Levi narrowed his eyes.
Unfortunately, he didnāt have time to make sense of it.
The final magic circle explodedāand suddenly, a black shadow shot into the air, both daggers raised high.
"Die, you damn monster!"
