Chapter 31 - Crystal Fist Sect's Attacks

Elder Rosaline, in the midst of a tranquil moment enjoying her tea, was suddenly jolted by the unmistakable surge of Vargus's aura. "This... this..." she began, her voice trailing off in disbelief as the magnitude of the power unfolding within the sect became apparent to her.

Before she could further process her shock, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect burst into her room, urgency etched on his face. "Elder, we must act immediately. Inform everyone to prepare," he commanded, his presence intensifying the gravity of the situation.

He then swiftly added, "We need to protect the individual awakening the heavenly talent at all costs." His words were a clear directive, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the awakened one during this vulnerable and pivotal moment of his awakening, understanding the potential threats and challenges that could arise from external forces aware of the event. 

Without hesitation, Elder Rosaline acknowledged the Sect Leader's directive with a firm nod. She then moved to ring the beast bell, a symbol of utmost urgency within the sect. The bell resounded through the air, its toll reaching the count of twelve—a clear signal that the sect faced an imminent and grave threat.

The sound of the bell pierced the quiet of the night, acting as a call to arms for all sect members. Recognizing the signal for the highest level of alert, they were jolted into action, understanding the gravity of the situation. The members, seasoned and new alike, swiftly gathered their gear, their expressions set in determination.

Once the bell had tolled its urgent summons, Elder Rosaline and the Sect Leader wasted no time in making their way to the source of the awakening power. Their steps were quick and purposeful, driven by the urgency of the situation and the need to protect the individual at the heart of this unprecedented event.

Upon their arrival at the location of the awakening, both Elder Rosaline and the Sect Leader were met with a sight that stopped them in their tracks. There, at the center of the swirling energies and the focus of the sect's concern, was Vargus.

Elder Rosaline, still reeling from the revelation, expressed her astonishment, "I never imagined that Vargus would be the one to awaken the heavenly talent."

The Sect Leader, finding a moment of levity in the midst of their surprise, chuckled, "To think that our genius barbarian is the one who has brought forth this talent."

With a sense of foresight and pride, he then proclaimed, "He is destined to become the most illustrious genius in the world." His words captured the significance of Vargus's awakening, recognizing it as a pivotal moment not just for their sect but for the broader world, heralding the rise of a remarkable talent.

However, their moment of mirth was abruptly cut short. The Sect Leader's senses, honed by years of leadership and battle, alerted him to the presence of intruders. "It seems they have arrived," he stated, his voice turning serious as he detected the approach of others toward their location.

Almost instantly, a group of formidable figures appeared, slicing through the air with an ease that spoke of their considerable power. They landed with a presence that commanded attention, their eyes fixed on Elder Rosaline and the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect. 

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect faced the group of formidable men hovering in the air, his gaze sharp and unwavering. "Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect, what brings you here?" he demanded, his tone firm and commanding.

The Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect, undeterred by the challenge in his counterpart's voice, responded with equal resolve. "Don't pretend ignorance. I'm well aware that a heavenly talent is awakening within your sect. I cannot simply stand by and allow you to have it," he declared, his intentions clear and his stance aggressive.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect met his gaze, an air of calm defiance surrounding him. "Then try it," he retorted, the simplicity of his challenge echoing the confidence he had in his sect's ability to protect its own.

Without hesitation, the Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect activated his renowned talent, the Crystal Fist, enveloping his fists in a shimmering, impenetrable layer of crystal. The transformation lent his strikes an added weight of lethal power, readying him for the confrontation.

In response, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect called forth his mighty companion, a majestic green dragon. With a roar that echoed through the air, the dragon materialized, its presence a testament to the formidable strength of the Heavenly Beast Sect. 

The confrontation erupted into action with the Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect initiating the first move. Empowered by his crystalline fist, he surged forward with a burst of speed, aiming a direct strike at the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect.

However, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect was far from defenseless. His green dragon, a formidable ally, swiftly intervened, its massive body acting as a shield against the incoming attack. In a seamless counter, the dragon unleashed a torrent of green breath, a powerful blast meant to repel the aggressor and turn the tide of the battle.

Undaunted by the dragon's response, the Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect showcased his mastery over his talent. With a precise movement, he manipulated his crystal fist to not only shield himself from the dragon's breath but also to dissipate the attack entirely, neutralizing the threat with his crystalline barrier.

In a moment charged with tension and danger, the Sect Leader of the Crystal Fist Sect, with a commanding shout, directed his followers' attention towards Vargus, who was in the midst of his transcendental awakening. "Kill that man," he ordered, his gaze piercing through the battlefield to lock on Vargus, the source of the heavenly talent that had disrupted the night.

Reacting swiftly to the threat, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Beast Sect turned to Elder Rosaline, his voice urgent but composed. "Protect Vargus at all costs," he instructed, recognizing the critical importance of safeguarding the young genius during this vulnerable phase of his awakening.

Elder Rosaline, understanding the gravity of her task, nodded without hesitation. She immediately sprang into action, positioning herself as a shield between Vargus and any who dared to approach him with ill intent. Her movements were decisive, a clear testament to her resolve to intercept and fend off any attackers aiming to disrupt the awakening or harm Vargus.
