My Substitute CEO Bride

Ruin watched as Howl slowly stepped aside, then expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Immortal Patriarch."

"Spare me the fake courtesy," Howl replied, clearly irritated.

As Ruin was about to leave, he glanced at Ember. In that brief moment, he absorbed all her memories. Then, he turned to both of them and said, "Immortal Howl, as a token of my gratitude, I can help the one behind you with her troubles."

Both Howl and Ember looked at Ruin with puzzled expressions. A moment ago, he was in a hurry to leave, and now, he was suddenly offering some strange assistance.

Gathering her courage, Ember stepped forward and asked, "W-What do you mean?"noveldrama

"It's simple. After he successfully reincarnates, you can go find him. Then..." Ruin glanced at Howl. Howl understood what Ruin was implying. By harnessing the power of the immortals, they could ensure that both Ember and her beloved could exist within a single reincarnated body. This would also allow the reincarnated soul to regain Cliffton's identity.

However, as Howl had mentioned before, their fates were already severed. They should not be able to meet again. Yet, it was clear that Ember did not heed Howl's words. In the end, she followed Ruin's suggestion.

Throughout this process, Howl continually sent his disciples to try and stop Ember, but they failed to stop her in the end. Ironically, Zaafea, who only knew fragments of the past, accidentally unlocked the seal within Clint when they were together, which ultimately led Ember to find him.

Harnessing the immortals' power, Ember sacrificed both her and Cliffton's souls into Clint's body. As a result, Clint now possessed both the Sun and Moon Sovereign's power as well as the Fox Queen's power. The two souls could switch freely, each providing Clint with immense strength. Despite the sacrifice, both souls could still roam freely. Now, Cliffton and Ember were truly free.

Back on the battlefield, Clint's sudden outburst of demonic energy sent both opponents flying before he launched himself at the giant tree. At this moment, Elvino landed a punch directly on Clint's face, forcing him to retreat.

"This guy! He actually escaped?!" Clint quickly glanced toward the barrier, which had been shattered. The one responsible was none other than Nash.

"That... That's Nash?!" Clint was bewildered. The energy radiating from Nash was unlike anything he had sensed before.

"It might be him, but it also might not be him." A voice came from above. Malvol appeared in the sky, observing the situation.

"Malvol!" Clint's anger flared as he recognized the one who controlled his sister. In a fit of rage, he tore

Malvol apart with a single punchet

However, the giant tree remained intact, indicating that Malvol was not truly dead.

Clint assessed the situation and noticed two more figures with the

same ominous aura as Elvino

appear on the battlefield. They were clearly reinforcements, and their power was nothing to scoff

With these new arrivals, the odds were now four against two, tipping the balance in their favor. Malvol's confidence grew.

"Haha! This time next year, you'll be nothing but a memory!" he sneered. With that, the four of them charged at Clint and Nash.

Clint did not hesitate and switched his power once more. He swiftly deployed another barrier, but to the surprise of the elders, it was not to trap them. The barrier only affected Clint and Nash.

Realizing something was off, Elvino quickly dashed toward the giant tree. "Damn it!" he cursed when he sensed the danger. As expected, Clint and Nash were making a beeline for the tree.

Just as Clint was about to unleash a powerful attack to destroy the tree, Nash suddenly turned and punched Clint.
