Chapter 687: Chapter 486: The Whereabouts of the Catastrophe Level Creature’s Heart

"Tell me the specifics."

"The White Siblings report that they discovered the energized heart you mentioned at the summit of Dragon’s Fang Peak, the highest mountain in the western Black Stone Mountain Range."

"According to their description, the heart is the size of a house, dark red in color, and covered in blue patterns. Each beat causes a slight tremor in the surrounding space."

Even if it was just the heart of a Catastrophe Level creature, the power and secrets it contained were immeasurable.

"Why did they come back?"

Raylo asked the crucial question.

"Knowing Hank’s personality, he would have brought it back with him."

"Because they couldn’t get close."

Ed said.

"A large number of Magical Beasts have gathered around the heart."

"A large number?"

"According to the White Siblings’ observations, there are at least... over ten Domain Level Magical Beasts."

"What did you say?"

’Over ten Domain Level Magical Beasts?’

This wasn’t just a powerful force. It was an army that could easily destroy a Duchy.

"The moment they approached the mountain, they were met with indiscriminate attacks from the Magical Beasts," Ed said.

"Those Magical Beasts are acting as if they’re insane, protecting the heart at all costs and driving away any creature that gets near."

"The White Siblings didn’t dare get any closer. They believe the situation is beyond their ability to handle, so they rushed back to report to you."

Raylo fell silent.

’This means that even more powerful Magical Beasts are flocking to Dragon’s Fang Peak from all directions, drawn by the Catastrophe Level heart.’

"Where are the White Siblings?"

Raylo asked.

"They are waiting outside for you to summon them."

"Let them in."

"Yes, my Lord."

Ed stood up and quickly walked out of the study.

Soon, the White Siblings followed Ed inside.

"My Lord!"

The two of them performed a Knight’s salute in unison.

"No need for formalities."

Raylo raised a hand.

"Hank, tell me exactly what you saw. Don’t leave out a single detail."

"Yes, my Lord!"

Hank stood up and began his account.

"We followed your instructions and reached Dragon’s Fang Peak. It’s the highest mountain in the west, perennially shrouded in wind and snow. But when we arrived, we found that all the wind and snow had vanished."

"The air around the mountain had become scorching hot, and the closer we got to the summit, the higher the temperature rose."

"The temperature at the summit was hot enough to melt steel," Hank said.

His sister, Aireya, added.

"Yes, my Lord. And we also discovered that while the Domain Level Magical Beasts were frenzied, they weren’t fighting each other."

"Oh?"

Raylo gestured for her to continue.

Aireya said.

"They... they were all attacking the summit. Or rather, they were attacking an energy barrier surrounding the heart."

"An Energy Shield?"

Raylo understood immediately.

"Yes."

Hank picked up the explanation.

"The shield has the same blue patterns flowing across it as the heart’s surface. It’s incredibly sturdy. The attacks from the Domain Level Magical Beasts, even their Innate Divine Abilities, could only make it tremble slightly. They couldn’t break through it at all."

The study fell silent.

"In other words,"

Raylo said slowly, breaking the silence.

"That heart of some unknown Catastrophe Level creature is currently protected by an Energy Shield. And those dozen or so Domain Level Magical Beasts are like sharks that have smelled blood—they’ve been drawn in, but are stuck outside the cage, unable to get to what’s inside."

"Yes, my Lord. Your analogy is very fitting."

Hank nodded hastily.

"Delays breed trouble."

Raylo stood up.

’This situation can’t last forever.’

’That Energy Shield will eventually be worn down.’

’And the energy waves emanating from the Catastrophe Level heart will attract more, and even stronger, beings.’

’I have to get my hands on that heart before anyone else does.’

"Ed."

"Here, my Lord."

Ed immediately took a step forward.

"You will remain here to guard Black Stone Territory. Continue to send people to search for the other items on the list."

"Yes, my Lord!"

Raylo’s gaze turned to the White Siblings.

"Hank, Aireya."

"My Lord!"

The two of them snapped to attention.

"You’ve done well this time."

Raylo began with praise.

"Next, you will lead the way."

"I’m going to Dragon’s Fang Peak myself."

"My Lord, it’s too dangerous there..."

Aireya couldn’t help but try to dissuade him.

"Dangerous?"

Raylo smiled.

"Danger usually means opportunity."

He walked to the study door and pushed open the heavy wooden doors.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly.

"Relay my orders!"

Raylo’s voice echoed throughout the entire Lord’s Mansion.

"Summon the entire Giant Legion! Assemble at the South City Gate Plaza!"

"Notify Captains Gordo and Ug to report immediately!"

"Griffin Knights, assemble!"

「Twenty minutes later, at the plaza.」

The Giant Legion had finished assembling.

Leading the Giant Legion this time were the two Vice Commanders, Gordo and Ug.

Kado was still in the Mushroom Forest training his Gravity Domain, so Raylo hadn’t specifically summoned him back.

"My Lord!"

Upon seeing Raylo, Gordo and Ug immediately came forward to greet him.

Beside them, the Cloud Sea Giant Whale slowly descended, its massive shadow enveloping the entire plaza.

It let out a long, ethereal cry, like a ballad from ancient times.

"Let’s move out."

With a single leap, Raylo was the first to jump onto the back of the Cloud Sea Giant Whale.

"Giant Legion, move out!"

Gordo roared, leading the Hill Giants as they strode forward and boarded the whale’s back.

The White Siblings also boarded the Cloud Sea Giant Whale’s broad back.

When everyone was aboard, the Cloud Sea Giant Whale let out a long cry.
