Lucas and David’s faces changed in an instant. For elite fighters like them, it took something truly momentous to shake them. However, the mention of “that place” was enough to break their composure.

“You mean the Lesser World?”

David turned to look at him, his voice low.

If Leander had been there, he would’ve been just as shocked. He’d only heard about the “Lesser World” himself, just half a day ago.

“Yes.”

Soren nodded gravely. “The Lesser World–Astria’s sacred ground, has existed for more than a thousand years. If outsiders ever try to invade Astria’s Sanctuary, or steal the destiny of the Astria martial world, I doubt they’d sit back and watch.

“If they show up, even the Arbitration Office and Western Church together would have to back off. No one would dare take them head–on.”

He spoke with total conviction and respect for the Lesser World, as if everyone from that place stood a head above the rest of humanity.

Lucas and David fell silent. After a long pause, Lucas finally broke it.

“The Lesser World really is Astria’s greatest martial stronghold–above all others. If their top fighters decided to intervene, the Western Church and Arbitration Office would be outmatched, no question.

“But that’s the problem. They won’t step in.”

He shook his head, looking frustrated.

“They’re gods looking down from the clouds. Everyone outside the Lesser World was nothing more than dust, unworthy of their attention. To them, the martial artists from the Astria martial world were nothing but a bunch of toddlers–nothing worth worrying about. They won’t act over something they see as trivial. Not for people they consider beneath them.”

Soren and David didn’t even try to argue. The mood turned heavy.

They all knew Lucas was right.

Because they knew how powerful the Lesser World was, they understood exactly how proud and aloof its people were.

To those people, the rest of humanity were just ants. Only someone from the Lesser World could ever truly matter in their eyes.

“So that means if the Arbitration Office and Western Church come back in force, it’s just us.”

Soren was the first to speak, glancing at the others.

David nodded, his eyes icy and determined. “This time, it’s even more dangerous than the war a hundred years ago. But we’re at the top of the Astria martial world, so it’s our duty to fight them and protect the rest of Astria.

“No matter what the Arbitration Office or Western Church tries, we face them head–on. We won’t step back, not even once. That’s what it means to be part of the Martial Alliance. This is our duty as Astrians.”

Chapter 602 The Lesser World

A faint aura flared around Soren. His eyes went cold and distant, and the battle spirit inside him roared to life.

“It’s been a hundred years since I really fought anyone. I’m honestly looking forward to seeing what all that training in seclusion has done for me.”

“I’m grateful the passion in my heart never went out–not even after all this time.”

As he lifted his hand, a dragon–shaped cloud soared up from beside the café, twisting through the sky before dissolving into the wind. In that instant, he looked less like a monk and more like a holy warrior ready to bring justice to the world.

Lucas, watching his friends‘ spirits rise, felt a surge of pride. After a century, the passion in these men’s hearts was as sharp as ever -if anything, the years had only made them stronger.

He smiled at both of them.

“My friends, the Astria martial world is lucky to have you.

“This time, let’s fight together again–let’s see what the Western world’s got after a hundred years.”

The three of them raised their cup, finishing their coffee in one last toast.

After a hundred years, these three giants of the Martial Alliance were ready to challenge the Western martial world once more.

They stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing out at the sunset, their eyes sweeping over the land as if they could see all the way to the distant mountains.

Lucas folded his hands behind his back, thinking of the bold young man who had just refused him, plain and simple.

Jeff, I hope you will surprise us again in this coming war.

After leaving the airport with Celia, Leander put his encounter with Lucas behind him. As for Cyrus, who’d tried to mess with him on the plane, Leander didn’t spare a second thought.

People like that were nothing but background noise to him. Maybe he would entertain him if he was in the mood, but not now.

Even Sophia, who’d seemed interesting on the flight, had lost his goodwill with her behavior afterward. She was just another face in the crowd to him now.

Right now, his mind was on the Astrian Sanctuary Lucas mentioned. It was the first time he’d ever heard of such a place- something tied to the fate of the entire Astria martial world.

“The Sanctuary?”

He murmured the word, leading the way without a glance back at Celia.

He was curious about the Astrian Sanctuary, but it was only curiosity.

He had never believed in luck or destiny. Whether a person was strong, or whether a family flourished, he was certain it had nothing to do with fate. He never believed in letting fate decide anything.
