Leander raised one hand and struck out with a single palm. The massive Primordial Energy hand dissolved on contact, scattering into nothing. He stood squarely in front of Celia, and the moment he did, her heart finally settled. The panic on her face faded at last.

High in the sky, two figures halted and faced Leander.

One wore black robes. A black skull was etched between his brows, flickering with a faint, sinister glow. Killing intent rolled off him in heavy waves–so sharp that even from over a hundred feet away, it chilled the bone.

Beside him stood a man in white. He wore an ancient–style Taoist robe, yet his features w unmistakably exotic. The contrast made him look oddly unsettling.

Standing together, the two radiated overwhelming pressure. Sand whipped violently through the air, yet not a single grain could cross within six inches of their bodies.

Their gazes lingered on Leander, and then, with faintly mocking smiles, they spoke.

“You’re Jeff Ashcroft?”

There was no need to guess. Someone so young, yet able to dissolve their attack with ease- within today’s martial world, aside from Astria’s Iron Sovereign, there could be no one else.

Leander gave them a brief glance but did not answer. Instead, he turned to Celia, concern threaded through his voice.

“Are you hurt?”

Celia’s blood surged. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shook her head.

Earlier that day, she had followed Leander’s orders and prepared to board a flight back to Astria, escorting Nathan and the others. But just before departure, these two middle–aged men

-one in black, one in white–had ambushed her, forcing her into a desperate retreat.

With no other option, she had unleashed her life–saving escape art and fled nonstop from Yelem, racing toward this desert oasis to seek Leander’s protection.

Without Leander here, she would be easy prey–completely at their mercy.

Below, Darian’s pupils shrank when he saw the sudden appearance of the black–and–white duo.

Shock flashed across his face, followed by grim recognition.

“The Twin Reapers of Netherweb?”

He murmured the name softly. Beside him, Matthias and Tobey stiffened, their expressions changing instantly.

That name summoned an ancient legend of Netherweb.

A century ago, King Phase masters dominated the world. The West, in particular, was overflowing with power. The Church and the Arbitration Office stood like rival empires, shaping the global balance between them. Yet amid these giants, Netherweb rose abruptly, standing toe–to–toe with both.

The Arbitration Office had the 16 Supreme Arbiters, ruling the West with iron au Church had its High Priest and Enforcers–numerous King Phase masters station. Angleland. But Netherweb’s rise rested on only two people.

The Twin Reapers.

They had hunted and slain more than ten King Phase masters across the Western world- never failing once. Whenever they struck, their target died. One hundred percent success.

The

Those they killed were all veterans, figures who had ruled for decades and carried worldwide fame. Yet without exception, every one of them fell to these two.

For a time, Western King Phase masters lived in constant fear. With that terrifying record, the Twin Reapers made the entire West shudder at their name. Netherweb once again loomed over the world’s strongest powers, becoming the undisputed benchmark of the Assassin’s World.

To raise a dominant force with just two people–what kind of absolute rule was that? The Twin Reapers‘ names shook the world to its core.

“It’s really the Twin Reapers,” Matthias said grimly. “They’ve been hidden for over a hundred years. And now they show up here, hunting a young woman?”

He found it impossible to stay calm. These legendary King Phase figures were standing right in front of him.

As someone from their era, Darian understood better than anyone what kind of power they represented.

In a one–on–one fight, he might not fear either of them. But the Twin Reapers never acted alone. Even if he faced them himself, he wouldn’t dare claim victory. Retreat would be the far

Almost instantly, Darian recalled what had happened in Yelem not long ago.

Leaderboard–had been killed by Leander. That blow hadn’t just rocked the Assassin’s World; it had utterly crushed Netherweb’s pride.

Now, with the Twin Reapers–Netherweb’s ultimate pillars, who had guarded it for over a century–standing before Leander, an explosive clash was inevitable.

In the sky, Leander placed one hand on Celia’s back. Nirvana Energy flowed through her meridians, spreading throughout her body. Warmth surged within her as her injuries began to heal.

“Master Leander, they are-

She tried to explain who they were, but Leander gently raised his hand.

“Go down. Leave this to me.”

Celia glanced at the two figures in the sky, pure terror flashing through her eyes. She soft “Mm” and descended to the ground.
