His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0603 At the center of the unnamed island, two figures clung to each other in a fierce embrace.

A narrow escape from disaster, a heartfelt reunion after what seemed an eternity.

It had been merely three hours, yet it felt longer than a century.

Amber could scarcely fathom the heroic deeds her husband, Alexander, had undertaken to find her. Commanding the Temple of War, he had stood against the might of Umbracia's forces, slain the formidable General Hesberg, and left the Black Maple master gravely wounded, all while traversing the expanse between the North and the Pacifara Bay.

However, in that moment, she knew that was no dream. She shivered in her husband's embrace, her tears flowing freely.

"All is well now." Alexander ran his fingers through Amber's

long hair, shooting a look that sent Maxine and the White Tiger, Duke of War, back to their ship, the Lord of War. His voice was soft as he spoke, "Amber, you have no idea how much you've helped me. I owe you a big thank you." Ah? Tears pooled in Amber's eyes as she gazed up at her husband, love-struck and bewildered, her voice quivering, "Thank me? However, I've only caused you trouble. You must've gone through so much to find me. I'm the one who should be apologizing, oh..." Haha! Seeing Amber unharmed brought a wave of relief over Alexander. He took her hand in his left and with his right, he held up the jade amulet his mother had left him, grinning from ear to ear, "Take a look at this." The jade amulet was alive in his hand, vibrating with an energy that was beyond words, sending out invisible waves. It was pointing towards the heart of the island, a dormant volcano some three hundred meters

away.

"There are eight of these jade amulets, each one linked to an ancient tomb holding secrets beyond our wildest dreams." He held Amber's hand as they both looked towards the volcano, his spirit soaring.

"If I'm right, there's another jade amulet waiting for us over there.

"Let's go!" In the heart of the island, at the edge of the volcanic crater.

They descended, the path sloping down two hundred meters into the dimming light.

The path was uneven, a snaking trail of stones leading into the depths, lined with the bones of hundreds of humans and the remains of large animals, all reduced to skeletons by the passage of time.

"These must be the ones who fought for the

jade amulets." Alexander took Amber's hand, his brow furrowed as they made their way down the cobblestone path. "These animal bones...

they're from creatures that don't belong to our time. They've been erased by history's relentless flow." Amber's grip on Alexander's arm tightened, her body quivering ever so slightly.

The skeletons of those massive beasts were unlike anything she had ever seen—some bore a striking resemblance to lions and tigers, others seemed ripped from the pages of ancient myths, fierce and otherworldly. They were relics of a bygone era, then utterly extinct and vanished from the modern world. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"These bones hold incredible value for science, " he mused.

Guided by the mysterious jade amulet, they reached the volcanic crater's edge. Alexander glanced back at the skeletal remains and offered Amber a reassuring smile. "I'll have these taken back for study, to uncover their I bE Se

secrets." Amber simply nodded in agreement, her voice a soft whisper. "Okay." They had descended more than five hundred meters below the surface, enveloped in a darkness so complete, it swallowed up all light and life.

Beneath a jumbled heap of bones, a faint glow shimmered, almost imperceptible, echoing the light from the jade amulet Alexander held.

"There it is!" His eyes narrowed in concentration, Alexander's mind reached out, scanning the jade for any sign of danger. Satisfied it was safe, he gestured gracefully, and the bones scattered as if caught in a silent tempest. With a swift flick of his wrist— Whoosh! The jade amulet responded to the call, soaring through the air and landing with a sureness in Alexander's open hand. It was the spitting image of the one Chrissy had left behind, save

for one detail: the intricate patterns within that jade amulet shimmered with a subtle glow, unlike the one from Caleb, which had dimmed to nearly nothing.

"What is this..." As Alexander grasped the jade amulet, Amber, who was right next to him, did not pick up on anything out of the ordinary. However, Alexander was struck by a jolt, his eyes lighting up with a wild joy he had never felt before.

It was the essence of nature itself! That was the coveted force that the ancient Wyverna warriors sought in their martial arts journey, as chronicled in their age-old texts. It went by another name, one that resonated with anyone who heard it.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
