Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2834

Luther let out a sigh. "At this point, there's nothing left for me to hide. Andrew, I'm one of the few who know the identity of the person who placed that final seal on your energy core. However, first of all, I hadn't been in contact with you, and second, the timing wasn't right before, so I never shared this secret with you. Fortunately, today I can tell you everything."

Andrew's fists clenched involuntarily, but his voice remained eerily calm. Nonetheless, that did not mean he was not angry or did not want to kill someone. Sometimes, the deepest emotions were expressed through stillness, and beneath that stillness raged a turbulent wave.

"The world only knows Guillermo as Holtrien's National Advisor, a man who controls everything with an iron fist, unmatched in strategy and the greatest martial artist alive."

Luther began slowly, his tone weary with age.

"But in truth, Guillermo wasn't born invincible. He was originally a down-and-out scholar who spent his first 30 years stealing and scheming, accomplishing nothing. Then, at 31, he became the disciple of an extraordinary man. This person possessed knowledge of everything under heaven, from mystical arts, alchemy, and martial arts to ancient divination techniques, even statecraft, the rise and fall of nations, and destiny itself. You could say he was a true master of all disciplines."

Valerie trembled. "Is there really someone that powerful in this world?"

Luther smiled faintly. "Powerful? Absolutely. But is he truly as godlike as legends suggest? Not necessarily. This man is the oldest and most deeply hidden monster in Holtrien's martial world, including among the ancient sects.

"I don't know his real name, but I know his title: Wyrmhelm. He considers himself the one true dragon hidden beneath the mundane chaos of this world. Interestingly enough, Guillermo knew he could never surpass his master."

Andrew murmured, "Wyrmhelm… I've never heard of him."

Luther nodded. "That depends on your abilities. However, if you remain in your current condition, you'll never find Wyrmhelm. At best, you'll just trade blows with Guillermo, Holtrien's public troublemaker."

Andrew smirked. "Sir, during our conversation, I believe I've already figured out how to break the seal on my energy core. Or more accurately, I've found the method to cultivate the Divine Art of Heaven and Earth's Five Elements."

Luther frowned. "Are you serious?"

To him, it sounded far too unbelievable.
