Novel Full Chapter 379 Bet My Life!
Nasir City.
The entire city’s extraordinary beings and armies of ordinary people were all on high alert, waiting for an enemy that might arrive at any time. The oppressive atmosphere before the battle, like thick dark clouds, silently enveloped the hearts of everyone.
The waiting was excruciating, with time seemingly stretched out, every minute and every second filled with agony.
“Hmm… I actually hope someone comes,” said Darren.
In Byrne’s absence, his eldest son, Darren, took temporary command.
He wore an iron mask, standing high up in the city’s bell tower, a faint smile visible beneath the mask, and nearby were most members of the Fischer family.
Christine, Helen, Felix, Karno, Vanessa, and Andre were all here, each no more than five hundred meters from Darren.
In recent years, although Vanessa had been unable to break through on the Path of World Order’s consecution, she had reached mid-level Transmutation as a spellcaster and, combined with the 4th Rank ability “Arbiter,” her strength was not to be underestimated.
Andre, only at the 3rd Rank “Hand of Judgment” on the Path of World Order, had already reached the Metamorphosis Phase in the power of Bloodline. His talents far exceeded those of Viscount Bast, undoubtedly a genius Bloodline Knight.
Of all the primary Fischer family members, only Lilian was continuously performing the ritual to awaken the great Lord of the Lost in the underground Grand Hall and had not come to prepare for battle.
Besides, the pillars of the Dawn Church within the city were also nervously ready for combat.
The former mayor and “leader of the Dawnbringers,” Yeager; the leader of the Dagger Brotherhood, Moore; the general of the “Nasir City Guard,” Archibald; “the Old Butler” Theo; the “High Priest of the Sea God Cult,” Ian; the “emerald elf,” Marzo.
Aside from Marzo, who has no 4th Rank in the Path of Nature known as “Shepherd of Trees,” the other five had all reached the 4th Rank in their respective paths.
And in other directions of Nasir City, there stood the viscount families of the East Coast and the many extraordinary members of the Dawn Church, among which seven individuals had reached high-level Transmutation.
Without a doubt, even without the Monarch powerful experts present, this force was not to be underestimated under any circumstances.
Within the army on high alert, General Archibald, dressed in military attire and with a full beard, took a deep breath and asked eagerly,
“What’s the situation now? Chris and the others haven’t come back yet… Damn it, it’s bad enough with the Stars Embrace Order and Words of Tranquility, but those damn extraordinary nobility colluding with evil cultists really deserve to die!”
The short-tempered man took a deep breath and kept cursing the damned enemies.
The special seal, which was originally in Byrne’s hands, had now come into Archibald’s possession. The moment any enemies approached Nasir City, he would immediately activate the special seal to provide sustenance for the main extraordinary fighters.
Although the army had switched from flintlock to breech-loading rifles and the cannons had also improved, they were still no match for Monarch powerful experts.
The air was filled with a tense, electric atmosphere, as if something unpredictable might erupt at any moment.
Just then, Karno, whose Destiny’s Trajectory was “Premonisher,” suddenly looked up and said,
“They’re here!”
Soon, the news of the enemy’s approach was spread throughout the city by the Blood Receiver of the Path of Wholeheartedness through “Chant.”
An intense, oppressive feeling permeated the air, invisible yet omnipresent, heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing down on everyone’s chest, making it incredibly difficult to breathe. It wasn’t from the natural world’s tempest or physical weight, but a deep mental shock and awe.
As this oppressive force grew stronger, the surrounding sounds seemed distant and vague, with only one’s own frantic breathing and heartbeat echoing loudly and powerfully in their ears. Many soldiers walking on the streets couldn’t help but slow down, or even stop altogether, trying to find a semblance of breathing space under this power.
In this area shrouded by the oppressive feeling, time felt frozen, with every second exceedingly long. The expressions on people’s faces were severe and complex, both fearful and uneasy about the unknown power. They looked at each other without speaking, reading the same feelings in each other’s eyes.
Two fearsome figures appeared in the sky near Nasir City.
The remaining two from the Words of Tranquility.
One was the low-level Monarch “Silver Poet” Aphrodus, and the other was the recently advanced mid-level Monarch and New King of Siyate…
“Sword of Salvation,” Noah!
Archibald swore, activating the “Special Seal” immediately, and the many ordinary soldiers and extraordinary fighters began providing sustenance for the main forces. Coupled with the effects of the Light Barrier, they could quickly recover as long as they weren’t instantly killed by the enemy’s power.
Noah, standing tall in the sky, stood straight like an ancient pine that despite the vicissitudes, remained unbent. His posture without a hint of curve radiated an unshakable firmness and confidence.
The arrogant and indifferent voice spread throughout the entire city, as if a supreme ruler was speaking to his subjects.

“Your Family Head Byrne and his people will not be coming back.”
He looked around the city, certain that there was no power to rival his own, and continued indifferently:
“And now this city must pay the price for defying the Adley Royal Family, everyone in Nasir City, you must be buried for being tainted with evil.”
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from the bell tower!
“Hahahahahaha!”
That arrogant laughter immediately drew Noah’s attention.
He looked over coldly and saw a middle-aged man wearing an iron mask.
“Perfect!”
Underneath Darren’s iron mask, his smirk was wildly rampant, his whole body trembling with excitement!
“I’ve never killed an Extraordinary Exponent of Monarch Level before, initially, I wanted to slaughter that captive from the Mistwalker Family, but those guys wouldn’t let me do it, they even said there was a possibility of reconciling with the Mistwalker Family.”
“Today, finally, I have the chance to personally kill an Extraordinary Exponent of Monarch Level, and it’s the King of Siyate no less! Truly a moment to remember!”
Noah frowned expressionlessly.
What was that man talking about?
He simply couldn’t understand, Darren Fischer, the son of Byrne Fischer, was someone who hadn’t even reached Monarch Level, how could he dare to utter such arrogant words?
“I’ve also never seen someone as arrogantly presumptuous and utterly foolish as you.”
Noah stared at Darren atop the distant bell tower, the man couldn’t even fly, yet he claimed he wanted to kill him.
“In my presence, you all are nothing but insects!”
“Darren Fischer, your father is a Regicides, he has committed heinous crimes, and you even dare to do the same, unforgivable!”
Having finished speaking, he unleashed a terrifying aura!
People immediately felt a physical tension and discomfort, breathing rapidly and shallowly, with their hearts beating faster.
Many were even filled with negative emotions like fear, anxiety, and unease, feeling helpless and lost.
Coming from the Divine Blood Royal Family, the “Sword of Salvation,” his aura was indeed too powerful!
Yet on the other hand, that aura sparked the fighting spirit and courage in Darren, the madman, making him even more determined and resolute, his thoughts more focused, and his attention more concentrated, his body and spirit preparing for the upcoming challenge.
Christine, who was in her wheelchair, took a deep breath, as a manager, she really wasn’t skilled in battle, and could only muse to herself:
“Is this a mid-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent? Far too powerful indeed, I wonder if our ‘trump card’ will be enough to get us through this crisis…”
Andre, noticing his wife’s fear, smiled at her.
“Don’t worry, the ones who will emerge victorious in the end will definitely be us!”
“Christine… I swear upon my knight’s honor, I will not let the Fischer family lose this war, nor will I allow Nasir City to be destroyed!”
Atop the bell tower, underneath the iron mask, Darren scoffed coldly, his long-suppressed madness finally boiling over once again.
He pointed a finger, shaking it towards Noah in the sky, the “Sword of Salvation” of the King of Siyate, completely disregarding the chasm-like gap in strength between them.
“King of Siyate, I will wager with you!”
“I stake my life!”
