Chapter 2331 The Three Saints of Dawn!
“Hold them off! Protect Congress!” Nathan shouted as he personally rushed forward to engage the enemies attempting to seize Congress.
Alongside the Chapman family forces, Congress‘ security personnel also stood in defense.
They were all from Zovince and had, of course, heard the stories of Nathan. But they never imagined that the city’s most infamous playboy–the so–called top wastrel of Zovince, a man with hundreds of past girlfriends–would now be fighting for his country with such fervor. It was an unbelievable sight.
Veronica and Audrey stood at the back, watching him, unsure how to feel.
The little brother they had doted on for years, treated like a treasure by the entire family, had truly grown from a boy into a man. Their father’s decision to have him train under the Northern Region War God had clearly been a wise one.
Nathan took down two opponents and was just about to turn back and flash a grin at his sisters when a familiar face suddenly appeared with a group of men in tow.
He froze in place, his expression shifting as he blurted out, “Gwain Lannister!”
“Hmph. Since you know who I am, why don’t you obediently step aside?” Gwain’s voice carried an arrogant edge as he sneered. “Your master is barely passable—but you? You’re not even worth my time.”
“Screw you!” Nathan was never one to take insults lying down, and Gwain’s condescending attitude was infuriating. He certainly wouldn’t let this overhyped fraud walk away unchallenged.
However, Veronica swiftly had the Chapman family’s top fighters hold him back, while inwardly, she felt a sense of dread.
To keep her hot–blooded younger brother from rushing headfirst into battle, she had specifically arranged for him and Ashton to guard the back entrance while others handled the front. But as it turned out, the real threat had come straight to their doorstep.
The events at Divine Mountain had long spread across the martial world. Though Gwain wasn’t quite at Emmanuel’s level, he was still among the ranks of top–tier fighters. This was going to be trouble. And Veronica’s concerns weren’t unfounded–the assault on the front entrance was just as ferocious,
Gautier and Miles led 300 elite fighters from the Grand Hunt Alliance. Though they had accomplished little on Divine Mountain, here, their numbers gave them an overwhelming advantage.
For Congress, divided as it was between Zovince and the Chapman family, with its forces spread thin, defending against such a concentrated attack was nearly impossible.
“Haha! Congress is right in front of us! Charge inside!”
“With official authorization, Mr. Tanner’s long–sealed power can finally be fully unleashed. This nation will be ours again!”
A group of men wore greedy expressions as they pressed forward.
Gautier himself couldn’t believe his luck.

Chanaca. Yet here he was, on the verge of doing just that. However, just as they were about to breach the entrance, they suddenly realized–someone was standing in their way.
“Y–Y–Yo… Yo… Yo… Yo… Yorick?!”
Miles and the others stammered in shock, their voices rembling while Gautier’s face twisted into something downright unpleasant.
There was an old saying–without hope, there was no sappointment. But the greater the hope, the greater the fall. To have victory within grasp, only to have an apex predator step into their way at the last second–nothing could be more devastating.
“You all claim to be grand hunters, don’t you?” Yorick’s eyes suddenly snapped open as he spoke. “You couldn’t kill Emmanuel, so why don’t you come and try taking me down instead?”
As he spoke, Simba let out a thunderous roar. The sheer presence of the beast, the aura of a king among predators, sent terror coursing through the gathered fighters.
All 300 of them instinctively stepped back. Not a single one dared to make the first move.
The stark contrast between their earlier aggression and their current hesitation was suffocating. Even the guards lying injured on the ground, watching the scene unfold, were left speechless.
Who could have predicted that the one to stand firm and protect Chanaea’s Congress in the end… would be a Shoiyan?!
Blake arrived a little late but caught sight of the scene just in time. Grinning widely, he chuckled, “Hah! Yorick’s a beast! If only I could be that cool one day… I’d have girls falling for me left and right!”
“Kill him!” Gautier roared, refusing to accept another failure. “He’s just a Shoiyan! Do you really think one man can stop Chanaea’s 300 elite warriors?”
His words indeed reignited morale. But just then, a voice rang out from the sky–a clear, powerful melody carried through the air. A song, rich with heroism, resounded above them.
“The autumn wind, the setting sun, the river stretches on… Through mist and rain, a lone boat sails on… The rolling stones churn up endless flames of war…Across a thousand miles of mountains and rivers, whose hands will hold the world?Empires rise and fall, mere fleeting decades in time…”
The entire battlefield froze.
Who could be singing such a song with such unmatched presence? Maestro Moretti? No! This mastery, this sheer power of expression–it seems to surpass even the legendary maestro herself!
Yorick listened with a nostalgic smile. “The Three Saints of Dawn… to be reunited here today… it feels incredible.”
On the other side, a figure descended from the sky, landing right in front of Gwain.
An old man, half–reclining on the ground, took a long sip of wine.
Seeing him there, relaxed and unfazed, Gwain and his men felt a growing sense of unease.
And then, with a boisterous laugh, the old man suddenly called out, “Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous! Since fate has granted us this moment, let the heavens grant us youth once more!”

“Grandmaster!” Nathan, who had been seething with rage, now erupted in excitement.
Ashton, who had been fighting at his side, beamed with joy.
And Veronica? She let out a deep sigh of relief.

With the arrival of the Silver Dragon Spear Saint, the crushing weight on the Chapman family was instantly lifted.
“Mr. Gwain, this old man is no joke. Maybe we should Wyatt whispered, his nerves beginning to show.
Gwain’s cowardice surfaced immediately. The moment Wyatt gave him an excuse, he grabbed onto it like a lifeline. “Well, as they say, the tides shift, and the winds change. The Lannister family only came here to spectate. We never interfere in political matters, so naturally-”
“Too late!”
Santiago didn’t even bother looking at Gwain. His eyes were closed, his face turned toward the heavens, completely lost in the music. He interrupted Gwain mid–sentence, his voice carrying an almost divine weight.
“Do you not hear it?” he murmured. “The Music Saint’s song… it’s about to reach my part.”
Gwain and his men blinked in confusion.
What?
“Surrounded on all sides, the enemy closing in…
I raise my cup and drink with the heavens….
Even if this battle takes my life, so what?”

The Music Saint was truly a legend. Her voice alone sent shivers through the battlefield.
At the front gates, Yorick heard the song, and his battle fervor surged. His presence expanded like a storm, and with renewed strength, he took on 300 men alone, growing fiercer with every strike.
He had never imagined he would get to fight for Chanaea again. This journey home had always been a tragic one–he had prepared himself to die here. But now, to stand at the gates of Congress and defend it?
If he died now, he would die without regrets.
Except, it seemed that dying was going to be difficult. His opponents were too weak.
The so–called Grand Hunt Alliance had become a laughingstock. They had failed to “hunt the wolf” at Divine Mountain, and now, at the gates of Congress, they were the ones being slaughtered ins
Santiago, still reclining with his eyes closed, smiled faintly. Even without seeing, he could feel Yorick’s burning determination.
And now, it was his turn.
“Who has seen a thousand arrows rain, setting the night ablaze…

Blades and swords clash, a chaotic dance of steel…
But when my spear strikes like a dragon, the heavens tremble and the earth shatters!”
Roar!

With the crescendo of the song, Santiago’s gleaming silver spear crupted to life. It transformed into a massive dragon of pure energy, soaring through the sky with a deafening roar, hurling itself at Gwain and
his men.
The Silver Dragon Spear Saint unleashed his ultimate technique–Dance of One Spear!
Gwain nearly pissed himself in terror. Desperately mustering every ounce of his strength, he fled for his life.
He barely managed to escape, though not without sustaining injuries.
As for the men behind him?
One strike.
One single strike, and countless souls were sent screaming into the afterlife…
