The legendary warrior

When the voice faded into the ether, the figure of an old man emerged.

Judging from his aura, the old man must be a saint, which perplexed Ricky because this guy was the weakest saint he had ever seen.

But to his surprise, all the warriors in the square lowered their heads in respect as soon as they saw the old man.

"Elder Graysen!"

greeted all the disciples of the Helian Clan as they bowed down respectfully.

Upon hearing them call the old man Elder Graysen, Ricky immediately realized who the man was.

In the Helian Clan, aside from the top casting masters at the Sage Level who were hiding in the dark, there were also top casting masters at the Sage Level on the surface. Those were the head of the Helian Clan and their ten elders.

The Helian Clan's leader had highly likely achieved a Demi-divine Level in casting, while the weakest of the ten elders were casting masters that had reached the advanced stage of the Sage Level.

Any force considered casting masters at the advanced stage of the Sage Level with the utmost respect. With just that information, it was clear how prestigious and powerful the Helian Clan's ten elders were in the Misty South.

"You are Ricky Nan, the one who took Wayne, the casting genius of our Short Human tribe, as your disciple!"

Elder Graysen glared at Ricky frostily.

Just like his men, he also hankered for Ricky's death because he felt like the brat had tarnished the reputation not only of the Short Human tribe but also of the Helian Clan.

"Sir, Wayne isn't just my disciple. He's also a good friend of mine!"

Ricky defended immediately. He had come here to support his friend, but that didn't mean he wanted to offend the Helian Clan.

"How dare you take him as your disciple? We, the Short Human tribe, have never had an outsider serve as our member's master in casting. Are you trying to humiliate us?"

Elder Graysen confronted him.

Just as they were talking, several figures emerged from the skies.

Kolton, along with other saints from the forces that the Helian Clan invited, had finally arrived.
