Chapter 4581
Devoid of any emotion, Waleria asked, "You summoned us. What command do you have
for us?"
The man's voice rasped as he spoke up, "You were deemed as elders upon entry to our
sect. Other elders may not yield, but now, an opportunity has arisen for you to forge your
prestige. Seek out the injured member of the Theos Sect, Waleria. Bring her back, alive or
dead."
The man gave a task to Waleria and James.
"Yes, Master," Waleria promptly replied. Soon after, the man vanished from the main hall.
Zeloneth looked at them as he said, "This is your opportunity. Seize it well. Whether you
can establish yourselves in our sect depends on this."
Maintaining a composed demeanor, Waleria asked, "Could you give us any pointers to help
track down Waleria from the Theos Sect? Perhaps some general guidance?"
Zeloneth gestured casually, conjuring a sigil in his palm, and he said, "All the clues about
her are within this sigil."
Waleria accepted the sigil.
Subsequently, Zeloneth led them away. After they had departed from the planet, Zeloneth
gave them a final instruction and left.
James followed behind Waleria until Zeloneth left, then he asked, "Why didn’t you take
action?"
Waleria shared her thoughts, "That wasn't Yvan Xorath. I could feel the difference. He’s
concealed within the depths of the black palace, but what we witnessed wasn’t truly him."
"In light of your intuition, why not take direct action? By removing this imposter, the
genuine Yvan Xorath might reveal himself," James communicated through their shared
mental bond.
"No hurry." Waleria pondered. "Let's return first and then secretly infiltrate this area."
"Your call."
The two swiftly left the planet and returned to Mount Darkwind.
On the mountain's rear slope, Waleria sat in a resting area of a manor with a serious
expression.
After a while, she suggested, "To dispel this lingering uncertainty, let's initiate our
operation tomorrow. We'll shroud our auras and advance stealthily toward the palace
where Yvan is concealed."
James thought before saying, "We had a good opening last time but unfortunately missed
our chance. How should we penetrate the formation this time? How about a direct attack?
But doing that might attract the attention of the powerhouses from the Daemonium Sect
in this universe."
Waleria shook her head slightly, saying, "I don't know why I didn't take action then. Once I
sensed that it wasn't Yvan, I suddenly thought of leaving. Looking back, I did miss an
excellent chance."
Waleria let out a deep sigh.
Perhaps she was harboring fear. After all, Yvan was a legendary powerhouse, while Waleria
was nearly killed at her peak state. Her strength had not fully recovered, and a trace of
trepidation lingered within her. It was this fear that caused her to miss the opportunity.
Now, there was no chance left. To obtain the runes, they had to charge in head- on.
Locking eyes with James, she spoke with sincerity, "Our journey in this universe isn't a
mere jest. It’s a struggle of survival and mortality. You don't need to intervene unless it
becomes imperative. Your task is to swiftly extract me from the situation if I ever become

"Alright," James affirmed with a subtle nod.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. The next day, Waleria and James concealed their
auras and silently left Mount Darkwind. They appeared once again on the planet where
Yvan was located. With their auras hidden, they arrived outside the mountain range.
In secret, James sent a message. "Should we attack directly?"
Waleria instructed, "Stay concealed in the shadows. Don't reveal yourself. I will manage
the situation myself, and you’ll intervene only at the most crucial moment."
"Got it." James nodded.
Waleria then appeared outside the mountain range. This time, she did not assume the
identity of Felicia but presented herself as Waleria. Emerging into view, her aura erupted
like a vibrant rainbow. With a simple motion, an unparalleled power materialized in her
palm, delivering a resounding blow to the formation.
"Boom!"
An awe-inspiring explosion reverberated, its intensity echoing far and wide. The planet
found itself shrouded in the remnants of the titanic force. Concurrently, a crack could be
seen in the formation. Following that fracture, its entire structure disintegrated. In the
midst of the starry expanse floated a black palace.
