“Who are you?” The monk stared back at the phantom, his chest tightened.
‘Her aura is way too strong.’
“Who am I?” The woman then said coldly, “That’s not important!”
The phantom lifted her head and scanned her surroundings. She then stomped on the ground harshly.
Boom boom, crash…
The entire scaffold cracked with one stomp from this woman. Even the nine dark, resentful pillars were shattered instantly.
All nine pillars were crushed by some kind of incomparable power, turning into dust in mere seconds. The ashes were then blown out by a gust of strong wind, flowing out toward the cliff.
Alex was extremely shocked to witness this. ‘My past self was this powerful?’
He had tried breaking the pillars with his Seven Blades of Death. Hence, it was clear how tough they were. Yet his past self managed to take everything down with one mere stomp, let alone the resentment of the dead within the chained altar.
Rocks and dust flew up into the air as the ground rumbled yet again. The entire mountain was shaking, causing many to lose balance.
What was weirder was that the scaffold split right in the middle as larger boulders fell right into the crooks of the mountains. After that, rays of yellow light shone from within the ground.
The Yavda monk was shocked as well.
‘What’s underground?’
‘I’ve been here hundreds of times, yet I never knew something was buried down there.’
Just then, another mystical thing happened right in front of their eyes. The phantom stomped once more.
Boom!
Along with the loud noise, the entire scaffold and cliff looked as if they had been knocked down by a giant hammer, collapsing.
Alex immediately rushed over to get Frostine, then toward Neela…
‘This word is hidden under the scaffold… Could this have something to do with Emperor Xavion back in ancient times?’
His questions were answered as soon as the phantom gestured toward the words. The ground below the altar let out a long cry as the scaffold was completely separated from the mountains. Something was being drawn out of the ground slowly.
At that very moment, Alex finally could see what it was. There was a large sword hidden underneath the Plenilune Scaffold.
‘It’s… The Xavion Sword!’
This sword had been securely placed within the mountains, entirely covered by the ground.
The very scaffold was built on top of the hilt of the sword. No one could’ve expected a legendary weapon to be hidden underneath with the thick mountains surrounding it.
“The Xavion Sword!”
The Yavda was so shocked to see this that it left his mouth agape. He took a glance at the phantom, surrounded by divine light, and immediately tried to grab the sword with his dark golden hand.
