Aurora was momentarily surprised, then smiled.
and said, “It appears that I am the most important
to you, Mr. Emmanuel. Do not worry. I will ensure the
headquarters is well protected. Unless I die, I will
make sure nothing happens to your woman.‘
The competition had finally reached its climax.
All scores would be settled that night.
All the people who were still free had gathered at
the central region’s martial field. They numbered in
the hundreds.
Even the Ophanim Clan arrived

uncharacteristically early, showing up an hour
before the competition was set to begin.
The atmosphere was very tense, and the
expressions on everyone’s faces were quite
complex.
Everyone understood that tonight might mark the
grand finale for Dark Night Islands, but no one
could foresee their own fate.
Rhett sat on a stone slab with his legs spread, arms
folded, and eyes shut, radiating a regal presence.
Surrounding him were representatives of the forces
that had aligned with the Ophanim Clan,
predominantly from the southern region, all

arranged in an orderly fashion.
In stark contrast, the forces from the northern isles
were sparse. The Solar Group and the Frost and
Flame Alliance were absent, and not a single
member of Night Wolf was present.
The Blood Clan, Shadow Clan, and Doggo Team
were present, but no one knew what Night Wolf was
up to.
“What is Rhett thinking?”
At this moment, representatives of the Ophanim
Clan were whispering in a corner.
They certainly supported Rhett in defeating

Emmanuel and becoming the ruler of Dark Night
Islands, but after Freya visited Rhett earlier today,
they were no longer so sure.
Even Xan was uncertain about Rhett’s current
thoughts. If Rhett succeeded in defeating
Emmanuel, he might not necessarily lead everyone
in opposing the Airspace Group.
“Her Majesty, the Queen of Dark Night Islands!”
The Airspace Group’s herald made a booming
announcement as a formidable armed force
marched onto the scene.
Usually leading the charge, Yasmine now had to
trail behind others. The woman at the forefront was

breathtakingly beautiful and emanated a
commanding presence.
Freya made a sweeping gesture with her long
sleeve and took her seat on an elaborate purple
phoenix throne.
The Airspace Group’s elite flanked either side,
creating an overwhelming atmosphere of
dominance.
Despite being top experts, the representatives
Chapter 1821 The Queen and the Saintess
present could not shake the feeling that facing
these individuals might spell disaster for them.
“How much longer until the event begins?” Freya
inquired.
“Your Majesty, there are fifteen minutes remaining!”
Yasmine answered promptly.
“Excellent. Once the time is up, any representative
not on the stage will be disqualified immediately.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Freya’s voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it carried
clearly across the room.

Everyone’s anxiety heightened once more.
Especially for Blake, who had managed to sneak in
with the Airspace Group.
After the events of the previous night and with
Sarah’s intervention, Yasmine had left him
unscathed.
For him, if Emmanuel failed to appear or was defeated, he could still appeal to his two sisters for
freedom. However, he found himself inexplicably
drawn to support Emmanuel.
“D*mn, am I suffering from Stockholm syndrome?
Am-sympathizing with the one who dragged me into this mess?”

Blake quietly cursed. Emmanuel had pulled him
into this predicament.
“They’re coming! They’re finally here!”
A sudden shout rang out.
After much anticipation, Emmanuel, the leader of
Night Wolf, made his appearance.
To everyone’s surprise, he was the sole
representative from Night Wolf.
“What’s happening?”
“What’s he planning?”
“Where is the rest of Night Wolf?”

Emmanuel disregarded the murmurs, scanned the
surroundings, and made his way onto the stage.
Rhett also abruptly rose with his cloak billowing
dramatically as he followed onto the stage with an
imposing demeanor.
The two leaders exuded different auras, yet both
made a significant impact on the crowd.
“Her Holiness, the Saintess of the Holy Fire!”

Chapter 1821 The Queen and the Saintess
As the final battle drew near, the Airspace Group
herald announced again.
Everyone turned toward the herald with their eyes
lighting up with interest.
Mackenzie, accompanied by Scarlet and followed
by the Ivory Tower’s entourage, made a grand
entrance.
She wore an immaculate white gown, fluttering gracefully in the night breeze, and her natural
ethereal presence enchanted many onlookers.
However, Mackenzie’s attention was solely on
Emmanuel.
#
By the time anyone realized it, Mackenzie had
already taken a seat on the opulent white chair
beside Freya.
“This is the reason the new leader of Night Wolf is
challenging Dark Night Islands?”
“Is his partner really the Saintess?”
“Just look at the way they stare at each other. If
there’s no affair between them, I’d never believe it!”
“If I were in his shoes, I’d also revolt against the
G

Airspace Group! I’d go down fighting!”
Even in her pregnancy, Mackenzie’s charm
remained undiminished.
Freya, overhearing the conversation, turned to
Mackenzie with a smile and said, “Your Holiness,
why have you come down? The cold outside is not
suitable for you. Scarlet!”
“Scarlet brought me down!”
Mackenzie promptly interrupted her.
Freya appeared momentarily surprised and glared
at Scarlet with cold eyes.
Scarlet remained unfazed and calmly explained, “In
G

the Grim Reaper’s Duel, Her Holiness, as the leader,
should be present to observe the battle. After all,
everything here is done for the Saintess!”
Freya’s lips twitched in a strained smile, but she
said nothing.
In the next moment, Rhett, preparing for the final confrontation, suddenly dropped to one knee and formally greeted Mackenzie, “Greetings, Your Holiness!”
As the Holy Guardian, his absolute loyalty to the Saintess was a time–honored tradition.
The sight of the King of Ophanim from Dark Night Islands down on one knee shocked everyone and

led many to speculate about him.
“There is no need for such formality. We are all
equal. No one is more noble than another.”
Mackenzie’s remark stirred even more murmurs
and speculation among the crowd.
Freya’s irritation was visibly heightened!
Feigning ignorance, Mackenzie stood up and
declared, “I hereby announce the commencement
of the final battle on Dark Night Islands! The winner
will be declared the ultimate King of the Dark Night, and all factions must follow his command!”
Whoa!

highest leader of the Holy Trinity had a distinctly
different impact!
Even Freya could not oppose this.
However, she was taking a gamble. If Rhett

authority.

It was evident to everyone that he was in a far
better condition compared to his fight with Quintus.
His presence was even more formidable!
“Excellent!”
Emmanuel, not one to delay, decided to take the
initiative. He knew Rhett’s style, so he launched an
immediate attack.
He leaped through the air, delivering a powerful hook punch aimed directly at Rhett.
Bang!
A resounding noise echoed as if Emmanuel’s fist

had demolished an unseen barrier. The spectators
seemed to witness a wall collapse before their
eyes!
Emmanuel delivered a second punch, compelling
Rhett to retreat, a stark contrast to his strategy
against Quintus!
It was clear from the outset that Rhett was
struggling.
“What’s happening? Rhett is being overpowered!”
Anna stared at the scene in disbelief.
While Emmanuel attacked, Rhett was continuously
driven back.

Chapter 1822 Grim Reaper’s Duel Starts
Members of the Ophanim Clan gasped in surprise.
They remembered Rhett’s fights always seemed
effortless. He would even be seen crossing his arms
while defeating his opponents with ease. Why was
he so weak today?
Falcon glanced at Xan.

Xan believed the situation was perfectly normal.
“Haha, the Ophanim Clan leader was too arrogant.
He’s getting what he deserved!”
G

On the Blood Clan’s side, Lucius grinned with
satisfaction.
He was the only one who had faced Emmanuel at
his peak and had nearly been defeated in a single
move, which led many to wrongly assume he was
weak!
Now that Rhett could not match Emmanuel, was it
noy clear that getting nearly defeated by
Emmanuel was not something to be ashamed of?
“Emmanuel’s strength is comparable to, if not
greater than, Rhett’s! Attempting to use energy to
rebound his attacks is just asking for trouble!”
Lucius‘ comment made many come to a

realization.
An energy barrier might seem impressive, but it
was of limited use against a top–level opponent.
Chapter 1823 Rheits True Power
“It seems the Ophanim Clan is poised to be
defeated by Night Wolf once more!”
This was the rapid conclusion drawn by many in
the crowd.
Xan, however, scoffed. These spectators were
clearly ignorant. They failed to appreciate the full
extent of Rhett’s abilities and truly believed his only
skill was an energy barrier.
Even Mackenzie could discern that Rhett was more
than he appeared, and she secretly worried for Emmanuel.
This was a pivotal battle that determined whether
their family could return home to see Terence and
Felicity. Emmanuel could not afford to lose!
Certainly, Rhett quickly escalated the intensity of
the fight.
#t
As Rhett flicked his cloak, Emmanuel was
confronted with a swirling, blood–red blur. His
punch, which should have struck Rhett, instead met
empty air.
Rhett showed his true form. Like a red phantom, he
had moved behind Emmanuel and delivered a
counterattack.
Emmanuel attempted to block with crossed arms,
but it felt as though he had been struck by a freight
train, sending him flying!
Many spectators were stunned with some even
fearing Emmanuel might be thrown off the stage.
Freya cast a sidelong glance at Mackenzie, hoping
to catch any sign of nervousness.
Mackenzie, however, remained impassive and
composed. Despite her lack of martial arts
knowledge, she completely trusted Emmanuel. She
was confident her husband would not be easily
overpowered!
As expected, Emmanuel performed an impressive
Swallow’s Reversal in midair and landed firmly on
the stage.
The duel between the two masters captivated the onlookers below!
“Your Phantom Swap technique is truly impressive!”
Emmanuel smiled and remarked as he shook his
arms.
Rhett, breaking away from his usual pose, lowered
his arms and assumed a combat stance as he
said, “Your Swallow’s Reversal exceeds my
expectations!”
In the realm of masters, minimal words were
needed to grasp each other’s intent.
Emmanuel’s serious gaze conveyed his
understanding. Rhett was genuinely intent on
defeating him!
Moments later, Rhett launched his offensive.
His attacks became significantly more aggressive.
His red cloak, ripped from his body, was hurled with
such force that it resembled a massive,
bloodstained blade!
Alarmed, Emmanuel used Dragon–Breaking Palm
to send the cloak flying back.
As Rhett reclaimed his cloak, he executed three
rapid kicks toward Emmanuel.
Given Rhett’s height, leg length, and sheer power,
Emmanuel found it challenging to block and had to both defend and retreat.
When spectators saw Emmanuel stabilize himself
with multiple tears in his clothing, they realized that although they saw three kicks from Rhett, only
Emmanuel knew the full extent of the attacks.
Rhett showed no signs of halting, pressing his
assault further.
Previously, many believed Rhett was solely a
strength–based fighter who relied on energy and
remained stationary during battles.
Imposing but lacking flair!
Even during his fierce match with Xarri years ago,
this was the impression. However, no one
anticipated his martial arts skills were so
sophisticated!
His red cloak was his most formidable weapon.
In the next moment, the red cloak, like an
all–encompassing net, surrounded Emmanuel in
an unpredictable manner.
Xan smirked. It had been a while since he saw Rhett
fight with full force. This was the true ruler of Dark
Night Islands!
“Ha! The outcome is imminent!”
“Rhett’s true power is indeed remarkable!”
“Emmanuel may be a king as well, but compared to
our Rhett, he is still somewhat inferior!”
Falcon, Anna, and others from the Ophanim Clan
awaited eagerly as Rhett led them to the pinnacle
of Dark Night Islands!
Unlike the Night Wolf representatives, the future of
the rest of Dark Night Islands was of no concern to
them. They were solely focused on dominating
Dark Night Islands and becoming its singular
legend!
As for whether Rhett would align with or oppose the Airspace Group once he became the overlord, they
would follow accordingly!
“Rhett never revealed his full strength! It’s no
wonder he always carried such an air of
superiority!”
Members of the Blood Clan and Ophanim Clan
expressed their astonishment.
It was their first encounter with Rhett’s true strength.
His sheer force was already formidable and
combined with the Phantom Swap technique; it
was utterly overwhelming!
If it were them, surviving even one of Rhett’s moves
would be an achievement worthy of boast for
Yet, what shocked them was that Emmanuel hadn’t
been defeated even after exchanging more than a
dozen moves with Rhett,
“Black Wolf Team, you shall fall!”
In the next moment, Rhett let out a rare, thunderous
roar,
With overwhelming force, his fist suddenly
emerged beneath his red cloak, aiming straight at Emmanuel’s face,
“It’s over!” The crowd was stunned by the scene
before them, with those words echoing in their minds,
Chapter 18241 Don’t Aim to Harm You
Mackenzie gripped the armrest tightly, cold sweat
breaking out on her forehead. Her heart pounded
as though a demon had it in its grip.
Suddenly, Emmanuel’s figure became hazy,
The next moment, Rhett’s seemingly inevitable
punch met nothing but air as Emmanuel’s figure
vanished!
“How is that even possible?”
The crowd gasped in shock.
Even Blake, who was watching the spectacle from a
distance, was taken aback by what he saw. He
grasped his unruly hair and shouted, ‘Ahhhh! How
did that scoundrel Emmanuel improve to this
extent? I’m now miles behind him!”
Rhett felt his body drenched in cold sweat.
He knew better than anyone that Emmanuel had
not just sidestepped his blow with sheer speed.
Rather, he had anticipated his next action!
He had experienced the same sinking sensation
during his fierce battle with Xarri in the ruins, except
Emmanuel was an even better fighter than Xarri.
Rhett spun around, his eyes fixed coldly icily at
Emmanuel’s fist, which was resting against his
lower back. He asked through gritted teeth, “Why
didn’t you take the chance to knock me out?”
“I don’t aim to harm you,” Emmanuel murmured,
i 0
Chapter 18741 Don’t Aug to Harm You
letting out a heavy breath.
Rhett retorted with a cold snort, “If you don’t use
your full strength, not only will you be unable to
defeat me, but you’ll only enrage me further! The
consequences will be more than you can bear!”
話
Emmanuel sighed. He still needed Rhett’s
assistance. Injuring him now could jeopardize his
entire plan.
“That’s exactly why I find you irritating, Emmanuel!
I’m determined to defeat you or even kill you! If you
don’t put forth your best effort, it feels like you’re
insulting me!”
Rhett didn’t believe that Emmanuel had used all his
strength in that last blow. He didn’t appreciate
Emmanuel’s courteous gesture at all, and
Emmanuel’s intentional withholding of strength
only fueled Rhett’s burning humiliation.
He roared in rage and launched a brutal attack on
Emmanuel again.
Rhett’s actions grew more violent, and his heavy
blows shattered the arena into pieces!
Witnessing the scene, the Dark Night Islands‘
faction fell into silence.
In contrast, the Airspace Group members were all
visibly pleased. Freya even exchanged a knowing
look with Yasmine, showing obvious signs of
delight.
鏡 If things went on like this, Emmanuel would be lucky
just to escape without being killed by Rhett, much
less win the match.
To genuinely defeat Rhett, Emmanuel had to take
him down so badly that he couldn’t get back up.
Otherwise, Rhett’s stubborn nature meant he would
néver admit defeat.
Boom!
Emmanuel took another direct punch from Rhett,
ES
which threw him back and made his arm feel
slightly numb.
As soon as Rhett charged at him again, Emmanuel
used the Art of Adaptability to preemptively grab
his wrist, thus preventing him from unleashing his
full strength.
“Why?” Emmanuel leaned close to Rhett’s ear and
said loudly, “Are you putting so much effort into
defeating me just to top the Dark Night Islands and
become the supreme leader of all the clans?”
“No!” Rhett smirked, “What good would such a
pointless title do for me?”
Given his years of reigning over the Dark Night
Islands, he would have declared himself the
supreme leader long ago if he wanted to!
Emmanuel realized that, too. Thus, he looked at
Rhett with even more confusion. He asked again,
“So what exactly are you fighting for?”
“For redemption!” Rhett answered firmly. “I failed to
safeguard the previous Saintess and allowed her to
leave the Holy Trinity. As a Holy Guardian, I cannot
forgive myself for this grave mistake. I must keep
Her Holiness here and complete the unfinished
mission left behind by the previous Saintess to
achieve redemption.”
Emmanuel was stunned by his words, unable to
understand how his thoughts had changed so
radically in a short time.
If that was his mindset from the beginning, he
would never have conversed with him like that on
those previous occasions!
What had happened between then and now?

Seeing the looks on Rhett’s and Emmanuel’s faces,
the Queen of the Dark Night Islands grinned
smugly.
The awestruck Yasmine couldn’t help but be
completely impressed by Freya’s prowess. Within a
day of Freya’s return, she had resolved the issue
that had plagued Yasmine for so long.
Regardless of how the fight turned out, the motley crew of the Dark Night Islands was unlikely to pose a significant threat to the Airspace Group.
years, earning them respect throughout Dark Night Islands.
Chapter 1825 We Are All Waiting for You
“Emmanuel, our roles and background dictate that we can only be enemies,
not friends!”
Rhett ended his sentence with a fierce bellow and unleashed his immense
power to knock Emmanuel’s hand away.
Boom!
He delivered a powerful punch straight to Emmanuel’s heart.
“Emmanuel!”
Mackenzie could no longer contain herself and stood up, her anxiety palpable
in her stunning eyes. Her trembling, heavily pregnant body made her look
somewhat pitiable.
Even though Rhett’s heavy punches were swift and fierce, Emmanuel managed to block them with both hands.

Rhett took advantage of the moment and delivered a sidekick, sending
Emmanuel crashing to the ground. The sheer power of the kick made
Emmanuel bounce off the floor.
“Oh yeah!” Most of the Ophanim Clan erupted in cheers.
Some members from the southern region also joined in with loud cheers.
Nevertheless, these people only comprised a small part of the Dark Night
Islands‘ forces. The others remained silent.
“Emmanuel, you must not lose!” Tears began to seep from Mackenzie’s
beautiful eyes.
The Saintess‘ tears captured the attention of everyone present.
Her tears seemed to possess a mystical power as if they could capture
someone’s soul.
Emmanuel felt his heart aching when he saw Mackenzie in tears.
Chapter 1825 We Are All Waiting for You

He knew better than anyone what a cool–headed woman she was. She was
always so calm and resolute. He had never witnessed her shed tears before,
which indicated the immense pressure she was facing.
But soon, Mackenzie stopped crying. She smiled through her tears to
encourage Emmanuel, “Be strong. We’re all waiting for you–me, our unborn
child, Sarah, Claudette, and everyone who desires freedom!”
Emmanuel nodded, offering her a reassuring smile before springing into the
air.
The unexpected event left everyone present exchanging puzzled looks, their
minds racing with mixed thoughts.
“Haha, are you filming a sob story or what? No matter how much you cry, it won’t help Emmanuel defeat Rhett!” Falcon said with a mocking laugh.
“Shut your mouth!”
To everyone’s surprise, Xan was the one who interrupted Falcon’s mocking.
Chapter 1825 We Are All Walling for You
His gaze was cold and steely as he did so.
He wasn’t siding with Emmanuel. Rather, he simply felt that such petty
provocations and jeers would ruin the epic battle.
As a loyal follower of Rhett, he wouldn’t let anyone disrupt the battle
atmosphere!
With a firm gaze, Emmanuel stepped closer to Rhett and said, “I understand
your feelings and the duties of being a Holy Guardian, but I have to defeat
you.”
Rhett’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
“The previous Saintess deserves our respect. She dared to escape her confinement for freedom and love, ultimately living the life she wanted.
Though her end may not have been perfect and was even tragic, I believe she had no regrets. Her life is truly inspiring!”
Chapter 1825 We Are All Waiting for You
As Emmanuel stood before Rhett, he posed a piercing question, “Have you
ever wondered if she truly needs your protection? What kind of guardian
does she really need? Maybe you’re just another prison or shackles she
wants to escape from?”
“Shut up!”
Rhett refused to let Emmanuel shake his faith or tarnish the millennia–old
legacy of the Holy Guardians.
His grandmaster, as well as the Holy Guardians from ancient times, had
given their lives to protect the Saintess.
His own master, too, had suffered irreversible injuries in the same duty,
passing the title of Holy Guardian to him only on his deathbed.
Admitting that Emmanuel was right would mean invalidating everything his
master and his grandmaster fought for.
That was absolutely unacceptable!

Boom!
Rhett’s punches grew even more ferocious. Though he couldn’t land a blow
on Emmanuel, he turned the already battered arena into rubble!
“Rhett, think carefully about what you’re really protecting!”
Emmanuel descended from above, delivering a counterpunch to Rhett.
Both fighters displayed such remarkable combat skills that their fight was
deadlocked!
“I’m not wrong! I’m right!”

hundreds of thousands for the Holy Trinity. She is their faith and should
remain within the Holy Trinity!”
Emmanuel countered his attacks deftly with calm composure, “So, as a Holy
Guardian, your job is to safeguard the ambitions of hundreds of thousands of
Holy Trinity members?
Don’t you find your words contradictory? You claim to protect the Saintess,
but have you ever thought whether this is the ideal and life that she truly
desires?”
