From Ruin to Reign Leander's Unbreakable Will novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 The Demise

“Jeff Ashcroft?”

Finished

Hearing the name caused Brittany to pause, admiration and envy flickering across her features.

Only two weeks ago, Jeff was virtually unknown in the martial realm of Astria. Now, however, his name had spread far and wide, familiar to almost everyone.

During the confrontation at Mount Lurvale in Mornwick, Jeff defeated Mason, Tarlyn Guild’s second–in–command, with a devastating energy strike that shattered the platform. Witnessed by many martial practitioners, the event sparked widespread recognition of Jeff as the young Martial Sovereign.

In no time, Jeff rose to the top tier of martial practitioners in Astria, positioning himself at the very peak.

When Brittany and Levi first heard of Jeff’s accomplishments, they were stunned into silence for quite some time.

After a brief pause, Brittany composed herself. “I heard Jeff leads the prominent figures of Mornwick and has strong ties to Frankie from Ravenridge. If we find Frankie, he might help us reach Jeff.”

Levi rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his expression serious. “The elders are aware of this. They’ve sent someone to Ravenridge to seek out Frankie and ask about Jeff’s current whereabouts. However, even if we find him, he might not want to help us. To Martial Sovereigns, we are like mere ants, while they stand as colossal elephants. Our sect means nothing to Jeff. Why would he bother to help us?”

Upon hearing this, Brittany lapsed into silence. The Demise, despite its status in Tardide Valley, was only a second–rate sect, lacking the authority to sway a Martial Sovereign in their favor.

“Brittany, don’t worry too much about it. Let’s go back for now. The elders will surely have a solution!” Levi consoled her. The other top disciples have already hurried to Ravenridge, and we should have updates in three days. I hope Jeff is willing to help us!”

Brittany nodded, knowing Jeff was their only hope.

Nearby, Sierra quivered, her voice trembling with fear. “Brittany, are you talking about the Shadow?”

Seeing the fear in Sierra’s eyes, Brittany was struck by a wave of helplessness and nodded somberly.

Upon seeing this, Sierra’s complexion turned ashen, and her heart sank.

Chapter 91 The Demise

47

Finished

She had never thought that the demon, a figure only mentioned in the legends of Tardide Valley, could actually exist!

Since becoming a member of the sect, she had heard many eerie stories about this figure from the villagers. Even her mother was aware of the Shadow’s existence–a being that had haunted the dreams of many in The Demise and throughout Tardide Valley.

Sierra recalled her mother telling stories about a demon that nearly brought about Tardide Valley’s ruin, thinking it was just a saga of a dark lord vanquished by brave heroes in a fairy tale. She never imagined that this demon was plotting a return to Tardide Valley.

The Demise specialized in manipulation techniques that enabled them to control puppets and utilize magic; however, most of their magical practices were designed for healing and enhancing physical strength.

Years ago, a prodigy arose from The Demise. In just ten years, he nearly mastered all of the sect’s unique techniques.

His magical prowess and martial cultivation greatly surpassed his peers, allowing him to stand alongside many elders of that time.

During a disease outbreak that swept through Tardide Valley, he used his exceptional magic to heal half of those affected, winning the admiration of the villagers and earning the title of “the Saint“. Due to his proficiency in Shadow Magic, he also gained the nickname “the Shadow“.

Because of his exceptional talent and generosity, the former sect leader entrusted him with leadership before his death, hoping he would expand the sect’s influence. Little did the former leader know this would become the worst decision of his life.

Once in charge of The Demise, the Shadow seemed to transform entirely. He began to explore forbidden, dark magic within the sect and conducted horrific experiments on the residents of Tardide Valley, obsessively trying to master the evil powers and seek dominance over the Astrian martial realm.

Fortunately, a group of elders in The Demise uncovered his nefarious intentions in time. They intervened, gravely injuring him and expelling him from the sect. Among them were several current elders.

During that time, the residents of the three villages in Tardide Valley regarded him as an outcast, celebrating his expulsion with firecrackers.

Although the Shadow was banished from Tardide Valley, he made off with the majority of the sect’s dark magic. Now, ten years had passed, he must have returned more powerful than ever.

If the rumors of the Shadow’s return to Tardide Valley were accurate, his deep–seated resentment toward Tardide Valley and The Demise would undoubtedly lead to a massacre.

If the elders were unable to stop him, Tardide Valley would become a hellish nightmare, with no one able to escape unscathed.

“Don’t worry, Sierra. If he dares to show up, the elders of The Demise won’t let him get away with it!” Brittany said, noticing her sister’s fear. She rubbed Sierra’s hair and forced a smile.

Despite her attempt to comfort her, a shadow of dread settled in Brittany’s own heart.

If the Shadow truly returned to Tardide Valley, The Demise would likely find it challenging to fend off this revived demon without external help.

Sierra curled up in Brittany’s embrace and kept pleading, “Brittany, didn’t person named Jeff who can take down this demon? Let’s ask him for help!”

there’s a

“Absolutely!” Brittany nodded. “Levi and I will handle this!”

Even as she said this, her heart raced. Martial Sovereigns were often elusive figures, and even if they managed to find him, he might not be willing to confront a being comparable to himself for their sake.

With this thought weighing on her, she silently prayed.

Jeff, I hope you can come to Tardide Valley and lend us your strength!

She also yearned to meet this young Martial Sovereign who had gained such fame in the Astrian martial realm.

In a barren wilderness, a figure clad in a black robe sat cross–legged, radiating a sinister aura.

Despite the bright blue sky overhead, a shadow loomed over his location. The plants appeared lifeless, and thick black smoke swirled ominously around him.

After a brief pause, he abruptly opened his eyes, causing the surrounding vegetation to wither into a desolate wasteland.

“The Demise and the hundreds of native residents of Tardide Valley, you forced me out and treated me like an outcast. When I return, I will show you what true despair feels like!”

A wicked grin spread across his face, revealing a crimson tongue. Dark energy coiled around his hands, and several birds that ventured too close disintegrated into skeletons.

He clenched his fist, and the black smoke converged into a massive hand, within which countless tiny poisonous worms writhed. He thrust it toward a nearby stream.

The water immediately ceased flowing, surging skyward in torrents, a testament to his terrifying destructive power. As he waved his hand, the black smoke retreated into his sleeves. He stood, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

“This time, I will eradicate everyone who once shunned and despised me!”

The residents of Tardide Valley remained oblivious to the catastrophic disaster looming on the horizon!
