Chapter 1892
His gaze remained fixed on a particular pile of rubble, an unsettling calm
before the storm. Then, in an instant, the darkness within him receded,
replaced by a calculated silence. He moved toward the ruins with a
deliberate grace, intent on catching whatever lay hidden off guard and
delivering a crushing blow.
Boom!
Despite his careful plotting, the ruins erupted prematurely, and from within, a
crimson figure sprang forth, as if defying the very fabric of expectation.
“Stay here!”
Rhett’s punch cut through the air with lethal intent, aimed at subduing the elusive fighter who had been ensconced within the Quillen residence. His
confidence was unshakable–he was, after all, the reigning monarch of Dark
Night Island.
Yet as his fist neared the opponent’s cloak, the force of his strike dissipated

into nothingness. The figure used the diversion to vault onto a charred tree,
its presence a daunting silhouette against the smoldering backdrop.
Rhett’s heart skipped a beat. The figure’s cloak, nearly identical in hue to his
own, was only a shade more crimson, suggesting an opponent whose
strength might rival his own.
“Who are you?” Rhett demanded, his voice a low growl.

The cloaked man, his face obscured by an Envoy Aora mask, regarded Rhett
with equal caution. He had lain in wait within the Quillen residence,
anticipating Emmanuel’s return to ambush and annihilate the couple. The
appearance of another formidable adversary was an unforeseen
complication.
“Holy Guardian, Rhett.” The man’s voice bore a hint of mockery. Rhett’s
respect for formidable opponents was undeniable, and this individual’s
prowess warranted a response in kind.
“And you? Why have you been skulking in the Quillen residence?” Rhett’s voice

grew steely, a subtle menace creeping in.
“Haha, you are scarcely worthy of knowing my identity.” The masked man’s
words were laced with deliberate provocation, his demeanor dismissive.
“Then you shall not leave here alive.” Rhett’s eyes ignited with a fierce
intensity as he took a menacing step forward.
“In this world, if I choose to leave, no force can detain me.” The Envoy Aora
tensed, his aura radiating a formidable power.
“Let me test that claim.” Rhett’s cape whipped out with sudden violence.
Though crafted from a supple material, it spun with the deadly precision a
steel blade, its edges razor–sharp and ready to slice through flesh.
Boom!
The Envoy Aora leaped nimbly from the tree, narrowly avoiding the spinning
cape. The tree toppled with a thunderous crash behind him.
“Heh heh, let’s see you withstand this!” The Envoy Aora unleashed a torrent of

flames from beneath his cloak.
Rhett’s eyes narrowed, astonished by the unexpected display of fire. Though
the flames lacked the searing intensity of the Queen of the Dark Night Islands‘
fire, their breadth was broader, and their concealment more profound.
The Envoy Aora believed his flames had found their mark, but he soon
discovered they halted abruptly, unable to advance beyond half a meter
from Rhett.
“Such formidable energy,” the Envoy Aora murmured in astonishment.
But before he could fully grasp the implications, a crimson streak slashed
downward from beneath the cloak.
“What?!” Rhett’s shock was palpable. He hadn’t anticipated this masterful use
of diversion, a surprise attack that revealed the opponent’s flawless
amalgamation of strength, speed, and technique. This adversary, with his
impeccable balance of offense and defense, would prove as formidable as
the Queen of the Dark Night Islands herself.

Blood erupted from the scorched courtyard like a grim fountain, staining the
ashes with its crimson spray,
“Heh heh, Holy Guardian, you’re nothing special!” The Envoy Ford’s laughter
rang out with a chilling triumph, echoing through the desolate ruins,
Yet Rhett did not turn to face him. Instead, he stood with his back turned,
arms crossed, eyes closed in a stance of serie calm. His indifference was as
unsettling as it was defiant.
“Die!” The Envoy Aora’s voice was a sneer of contempt as he prepared to
strike again, intent on eliminating the so–called Holy Guardian before dealing
with Emmanuel. Eradicating this threat would pave the way for his plans,
removing all potential dangers.
But fate had other designs. An unseen force, swift and relentless, surged
toward him. If not for his reflexes, Envoy Aora and his three companions
would have been ensnared by Rhett’s hidden trap, meeting their end in an
Chapter 1892 The Clash of Shadows instant.
Whoosh–splat!
