Chapter 587 The Citylord

• Three days had passed; Sebastian had fully absorbed and refined the energy he devoured, compressing it into pure elemental force stored in his energy core. The number of elemental particles within him had grown by 4,000—bringing the total to a staggering 84,000. Just 4,000 more, and he would reach the threshold to break through and unlock the Granted Force.
• Emerging from the forest, Sebastian shot off toward Halodan. Time was critical. He had to locate the Demon-Sealing Bloodline and return to the mortal world as soon as possible. The Philosopher Realm might look serene on the surface, but it was brimming with danger. Any powerful faction here would eventually clash with him—especially once they learned he controlled a vast trove of herbs.
• When Sebastian entered Halodan, he immediately sensed something was off. A heavy tension weighed on the townspeople's faces. Word had clearly spread—a spatial rift had opened just beyond the city walls, and creatures from the Demon Realm—Fellborns and Fellbeasts—were pouring in. The threat had shaken everyone.
