Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2614

An explosion sounded in the distance, and it felt like the entire ground shook at that moment.

As Andrew ran forward, he turned to look behind him. The sky in the distance was covered in thickening black clouds, and a column of energy surged upward like a raging storm.

He mumbled, "It looks like Dad and Alfredo have started their fight."

He was not worried about Reginald's safety at all; he did not need to be.

As Donovan once said, "The Lloyd family now has someone who can shoulder any burden. Even if the sky falls, he can hold it up. So, Andrew, Sheena, you can feel free to charge ahead and grow without restraint. Even if you break the heavens, the Lloyd family will handle the mess."

At this point, Reginald truly was the Lloyd family's guardian. Yet, Andrew felt the weight on his own shoulders grow heavy. He knew that in the not-too-distant future, he would have to take over the burden his father currently carried.

He stopped paying attention to the commotion from the battle behind him and picked up his pace.

About ten minutes later, Andrew caught up with Luna, Valerie, and Sheena. He let out a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, all three of them were unharmed.

Sheena had even recovered enough to walk on her own, albeit weakly.

When she saw Andrew, her eyes lit up. "Where's Uncle Reginald?"

Andrew smiled. "Dad's still back there, dealing with Alfredo."

Sheena clenched her fist, but the movement tugged at her wounds, and she hissed in pain. Even so, she did not care at all.

"With Uncle Reginald back, Swordhaven Keep doesn't stand a chance. Alfredo can call himself a god all he wants, but he's going down."

Luna stepped closer with a look of concern in her eyes. "Are you hurt?"

Andrew gave a wry grin. "Yeah, but nothing serious. Let's move. We need to leave the Eastern Regions while we still can. Oh, and after you split up, did anyone come after you?"

Valerie nodded. "They did, but we drove them off."

Andrew was shocked. "You drove them off? There were two martial emperors among them from the Eastern Regions!"

Valerie just gave a cold smirk and stayed silent, her eyes fixed on him.

Andrew frowned. "What? Why are you staring at me like that? Just tell me what happened."

He shook his head. "Enough talk. We need to get back to Chetvine right now."

Luna frowned. "Aren't you going to wait for your father?"

Andrew's voice turned firm. "We can't. It's already hard enough for him to be here in Holtrien. Once the fight with Alfredo ends, he'll have to leave immediately. Too many people don't want him to set foot on this land. Unless…"

Luna tensed. "Unless what?"

Andrew took a deep breath. "Unless my dad breaks through the barrier of the martial god and ascends beyond the limits of man."

Valerie looked shocked. "Beyond man? There's a level beyond martial god?"

Andrew smiled faintly. "Of course there is. ‘Beyond man' that means becoming a true god."

Sheena uttered coldly, "Let's go, Andrew. We can't drag Uncle Reginald down. ‘Beyond man', huh… most people wouldn't even dare to dream of that, but I believe Uncle Reginald can do it."

Andrew grinned. "Yeah. I believe Dad can, too."
