My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2655

The techniques and powers that Reese now possessed were a mystery to Fredwyn as he had no idea where he learned them from. However, Reese still was his disciple in name.

The reason for this was simple—Reese was the son of the current president of Swift Corporation. If Fredwyn were to refuse to acknowledge Reese as his disciple, it could mean opposing the entire Swift Corporation.

After Otto wrapped his head around the background Fredwyn revealed, he realized Reese likely saw himself as the heir to the human emperor. Therefore, he came to Abundance Mountain to seek the next powerful weapon.

Otto did not plan on stopping either of them. He wanted to let them both enter the secret realm to compete for the artifact. Though, in his heart, he hoped Nash would be the one to obtain it.

…

Back on the battlefield, Reese's Skyshard Armor was the pinnacle of martial arts. Not only that, the armor also had the unique ability to grant the wearer temporary immunity from the effects of any other weapons.

More importantly, this immunity did not just apply to the other five weapons in particular—it applied to all artifacts under the sky. For a limited period of time, no artifact, even those imbued with divine power, could harm the wearer.

The duration of the immunity granted by the armor depended entirely on the wearer's physical strength. From the age of eight, Reese had been training his body rigorously using various methods.

He would typically complete in one day what would take other martial artists five to six. His efforts resulted in a physique nearly a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people.

“W-What’s going on?” Reese exclaimed in surprise.

Nash had seen something like this before, back when the three weapons had manifested simultaneously. There was a mutual attraction between the weapons, and when their energies were released, they would start to resonate with one another.

It was likely for this reason that the Sky Reflector Mirror was trying to pull them into the secret realm. Their fight had triggered the mirror, and now, it was trying to drag them both in.

As the pull grew stronger, the two of them were quite literally sucked into the secret realm. This startled Wrendell and the others who had been watching from the side, leaving them utterly shocked.
