“The Skyward Martial Academy students will be stationed at a supply point on Mistcloud Mountain. The troops there took heavy losses during the first wave of demonic beast attacks. Only seven or eight soldiers are left.”
“What about Monica? Where was she assigned?” Abdiel asked.
ว
Joshua answered, “I pulled a few strings. She was assigned to an assault unit in another combat zone. far from Mistcloud Mountain.”
Abdiel’s expression eased slightly. “At least you had the sense to do that. Have Uncle Graham put pressure/ on the academy and get yourself and Martin transferred to the Mistcloud Mountain unit later as well.”
/
“Understood.” Joshua nodded and stepped aside.
Seamus immediately grew anxious. “If Graham can get Joshua transferred to the Mistcloud Mountain unit, he can get me transferred out too, right? I don’t know anything about warfare. If I stay with the unit, they’l see right through me!”
Abdiel gave him a contemptuous glance and sneered.
“So what if they do? You think your identity is still a secret? Anyone with eyes can tell something’s wrong. What’s the point of hiding it?”
“You!” Seamus glared at him with almost feral eyes. “Mr. Franklin is the one who gave me this identity!”
Abdiel chuckled. “At this point, do you really think Mr. Franklin still expects anything from a useless loser like you?”
Seamus had been using the serum for so long that the side effects had already begun affecting his brain. He could barely control his emotions anymore.
Abdiel’s taunt had just snapped the last thread of his restraint.
Seamus roared and lunged, reaching for Abdiel’s shoulder with his right hand.
A violent surge of power erupted from him, strong enough to shatter stone and tear metal apart. It looked as though he might rip Abdiel to pieces in the next second.
“The peak of the Archmaster Realm!” Joshua frowned.
The Wrights’ experimental serum was terrifyingly effective. In such a short time, they’d pushed a useless man like Seamus all the way to this level.
Joshua didn’t like Abdiel either, but he was now in charge of this operation. If anything happened to him, Joshua would be held responsible too.
Left with no choice, he raised a hand to stop Seamus.
But in the next instant, everyone froze.

Abdiel gave a cold laugh and pressed his right hand downward.
Arushing force descended from above, slamming the enraged Seamus flat against the ground.
Joshua’s eyes widened in shock. “The… the peak of the Ascension Realm! When did you…”

Abdiel smiled faintly. “Joshua, you’ve been gifted since childhood. Of course you never noticed the rest of us insignificant people.”
As he spoke, he pulled a syringe from inside his coat and drove it into Seamus’s back.
Seamus lay helplessly on the ground like an insect pinned inside a display case. He couldn’t resist at all and could only watch as the serum was injected into his body.
Before long, the madness in his eyes faded. His mind cleared, and he slowly sat up, staring at his hands in surprise.
Abdiel put away the syringe. “Mr. Franklin gave me this suppressant. It can keep the serum’s side effects under control for one month. It’s extremely valuable. If it weren’t for this mission, I wouldn’t waste it on someone like you. Seamus, you’d better not disappoint Mr. Franklin after everything he’s done for you!”
“Yes, sir. I understand!”
Seamus scrambled to his feet and immediately bowed his head to Abdiel.
After seeing Abdiel’s true strength, he no longer dared to challenge him.
The fighting in Northville was growing more urgent by the day. The next morning, the teachers and students of Skyward Martial Academy boarded military transports and headed for the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Along the way, civilian buses constantly passed them, heading in the opposite direction. Every bus was packed with ordinary people evacuating from fallen areas.
Glen sat beside Skyler and watched them with sympathy.
“Those damn demonic beasts destroyed their homes. Once they leave, who knows if they’ll ever get to go back.”
Skyler smiled faintly, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
“Of course they will. Isn’t that why we’ve spent all these years training? Once we wipe out the demonic beasts, they’ll be able to return home.”
A trace of hope appeared in Glen’s eyes.
“You’re right, Skyler. If we want these people to go home someday, we need to fight even harder.”
“Hmph.” A contemptuous snort came from the front.
Seamus sat at the very front with his arms crossed, glaring disdainfully at Glen.

A Sage Master like you actually thinks you can talk about wiping out demonic beasts and helping people
laim their homes? What a joke. The only reason we’re bringing you along is that your perception ability is useful in battle. Instead of talking big, focus on the one thing you’re actually good for.”
Glen stiffened and lowered his head, clearly dejected.
Among all the academy students joining the battle, the weakest were at the Archmaster Realm. He was the only one at the Sage Master Realm.
Calling him dead weight wasn’t exactly wrong.
Skyler frowned. “General Yount, your strength came from a few injections. What gives you the right to call someone else useless? At least Glen can detect demonic beasts for us. What exactly do you bring to the team?”
Seamus flew into a rage and shot to his feet. “Watch your mouth! I’m the commander of this unit. How dare you speak to me like that!”
Skyler didn’t back down. He slowly stood as well. “You sure like throwing your rank around, General. You’re acting so intimidating that I almost forgot how desperately you tried to run away yesterday just to avoid taking command.”
