Cornelius and Yelena looked at each other deeply broken.

When they first saw Kayden, they knew that he was a man of confidence and unbelievable achievements. They even heard from the others that in both his personas as Kayden and Einz, he brought countless amounts of contributions in the medical field and dealing with the curse power.

Now, Kayden was simply broken and dejected, having failed to do what he wanted.

How could they have imagined how he felt, when he saw in his own eyes, his sister Eli tortured beyond recognition?

In his mind, once again, he had failed both his sisters. He did not know when Elise died back then and did not even have the chance to help her when she was in danger.

Now he was clearly watching Eli in danger, but he could not do anything, no matter what kind of trick he did.

It was a devastating blow to him, someone who took the initiative to care for Eli as not only his sword sister but really as a sibling through their ties with the Asanis.

Cornelius recognized the deep emotion in his son's crying eyes. Kayden was bawling like a child, yet they did not mock him for doing so.

Instead, he placed his palm on Kayden's forehead, then gently wiped down his son's tears. "Nothing will happen to her, Son. I assure you… I know that you have done well and do your best to protect her. But this time, accept that it is not your place to save her, nor mine nor anyone, but the heavens themselves."

"So, rest your case and leave it to the heavens to deal with. Eli is someone whom the heavens blessed, they will not forsake her." Cornelius' comforting voice slowly calmed Kayden down until he lost consciousness and passed out.

Cornelius then looked at Yelena and said, "Shall I leave him to you?"

Yelena looked at Kayden with a conflicted face and said, "I want to see her as much as possible, but my son needed someone with him. I know you know Eli's bodily constitution best. You are the best person to help her at the moment. I leave her to you, husband."

Cornelius looked at the struggling Yelena and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, she will pull through. I will do my best to help her."

"En.. I trust and believe you…" Yelena hugged Kayden's body as she continued to gently pour out her healing magic in him.

Cornelius stood up and looked at the spot where the portal opened. He was not sure if he could convince the opening of the portal once again but he could not help but feel there was a lingering presence in the spot.

He was gambling at the fact that the spatial void was not yet completely closed and so he spoke in a polite manner, "Great spatial king… I humbly implore your help to take me to where Eli is. I can help with her condition."

Zenith immediately pulled Cornelius inside the spatial void and met him in his ethereal form. "You said that you can help my Master's future wife?"

Cornelius looked at the mystical figure and nodded his head, "I am her father." He simply said.

To him, it does not matter if Eli was born not from their own DNA, he was her father, and Yelena was her mother. Nothing else matters. "She needs me, her father at the moment."



Zenith did not answer for a little while, but Cornelius patiently waited. He knew that the Spatial King was asking for Leon's permission at the moment.

After a few moments, Zenith's voice rang again and replied, "Let me take you there… but be prepared, the battlefield is not good and so is my master's future wife's condition."

"I am prepared." Cornelius nodded resolutely.

Zenith then hovered around and opened a portal leading to the holy island battlefield.

There he saw Leon standing protectively on Eli's side while keeping guard against the  Pope and Emperor's attack.

He immediately stepped out and called, "Your Highness, Third Prince."

Leon nodded and set up a protective array for the two of them then he said, "Sir Cornelius, I leave her to you. If you can please stabilize her to be able to safely go to the spatial void and transfer to the rescue place."

"Don't worry… I'll do my best." Cornelius nodded with determination, but his heart could not help but be shocked when he saw Eli's condition.

No wonder his son was really devastated. Eli's condition right now is beyond recognition.

Leon cast him a grateful glance before he finally went to face the two.

"Seirende spawn, you are really so confident to face the two of us aren't you?" Emperor Razak mocked Leon.

"You have no army, you are alone, and you are even protecting two people behind you! What can you do?" He waved at his army to which the army responded by assembling to face Leon.

Leon was not the least provoked by him, his only worry was that one of them would make him busy dealing with the attacks and the other would choose to hit Eli and Cornelius behind. As for the army, he will let Biggie and the rest of his contracted beast deal with them.

Suddenly, a sound came into the crater where Pope Ramir had fallen. Wisps of purple flames appeared there as Pope Ramir's figure floated in the air.

There were no injuries on his body however, the torn garments that he had was evidence that Leon indeed hurt him a lot during the attack.

Pope Ramir looked at Leon, then to Eli. But he was shocked to see another person next to her, "Cornelius!"

His eyes were red in shock when he saw the person whom he locked for years under the laboratory free and well.

Cornelius on the other hand did not bother with him. That was because he was busy stabilizing Eli at the moment.





Her body was too damaged, and even if she survived, if she was not taken care of properly, she might be a vegetable.

And so he used all his focus to slowly heal her body. He started with her vital organs to protect them from being damaged any further then moved to deal with the receptors which were the most delicate ones.

With the chaos on the battlefield, however, he could not do anything to completely repair Eli's receptors. All he could do is to slowly isolate them from Eli's mana stream so that it will temporarily reject any mana around.

The battlefield is the worst environment for her at the moment. With a lot of fighting going on, the fluctuation of mana will affect her receptors causing them to completely disintegrate.

And so the first thing he did was to encase it with his own mana so that it would serve as a barrier against the other harsher mana in the surroundings.

"Biggie, and the rest, take care of the army." Leon saw that Cornelius was not affected by Pope Ramir's attitude and completely focused on healing Eli.

And so he moved to face the two. Dealing with them earlier is the way to go.

Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak looked at each other, seemingly understanding what they both thought.

Emperor Razak moved with lightning speed while Pope Ramir flashed on Cornelius's position in an attempt to destroy the barrier protecting them.

"You think that would be easy?!" Leon's crystal blue eyes flashed dangerously and a silver longsword immediately appeared in his hands.

He turned his body and swiftly swung his sword at Cornelius's position. Swoosh!

The moment Emperor Ramir appeared on the spot, he was faced with a strong sword attack.

His eyes darkened and immediately retreated, but who would have thought that Leon's sword attack would reach him even if he had already retreated?

He looked down and saw that his garment was now dead red on his abdomen. A bloody wound appeared making his lower body feel numb with the pain.

"Pope!" The knights shouted worriedly.

While this was happening, Emperor Razak did not even slow down the slightest. Between Ramir and him, he was the one who was more eager to kill Leon.

And so even if  Pope Ramir failed his attack, he would not let go of the opportunity to kill Leon at the moment.

His sword appeared on his hands, wrapping it with ferocious lightning magic and cursed power.

"Die!" He bellowed, seeing that Leon's attention was still on Pope Ramir's direction.

Leon was not nervous at all, instead, he moved his body fluidly and turned once again.

First, his free hand released a strong earth attack on Emperor Razak, a series of mountain boulders appeared in Emperor Razak's way blocking his vision.

Then he jumped to pursue the retreating Pope who was pumping his cursed power to close up the wound on his abdomen.

"Urgh… what's happening." While Leon was busy fighting with the two elders, Rachana finally regained consciousness.

The first thing that caught her eyes was the red-haired man who was valiantly moving with his sword while defending against Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak's attacks.

Her eyes flickered with awe, in an instant, she seemed to forget the pain of her injuries and became infatuated, "Third Prince Leon!"
