Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1573  Protecting Max?

While Max remained lost in thought, trying to piece together the mystery of this place, and Lucia continued speaking with Rose, a new group of people approached from a distance.

It was the remaining members of the War God Palace, the Sword God Palace, and the Ascension Hall. They were led by Tamara and Ash, and behind them were several others who had clearly just arrived. From the looks of it, they too had been guided here by Kyle.

As they stepped into the area where everyone from Orion had gathered, their arrival immediately drew attention.

However, what truly shifted the atmosphere was not their presence.

It was Mira.

She was being carried by members of the Sword God Palace, her body limp and her condition clearly severe. She had yet to regain consciousness, her face pale, her aura weak, and her entire state far from what anyone would expect from someone of her standing.

The moment she was seen, shock spread through the crowd.

”What happened to her?”

A loud voice broke the silence.

An old man rushed forward, his expression filled with disbelief and alarm as he saw Miraʼs condition. He was the same elder who had intervened earlier when Max was fighting the elves. As Miraʼs personal attendant and a trusted servant of the Sword God Palace, his reaction was immediate and intense.

He moved quickly to her side and checked her condition.

For a brief moment, relief appeared on his face when he confirmed that she was still alive. However, that relief was fleeting. The moment he sensed the extent of her injuries and her unconscious state, his expression turned grim and furious.

”Tell me,” he shouted, his voice filled with anger as he looked around at the gathered group. ”Who dared to harm the Young Miss of the Sword God Palace?”

His gaze swept across everyone from Orion.

No one answered.

Silence filled the air.

Yet the silence only made the tension heavier.

Every person present understood exactly who Mira was. They knew her identity, her background, and the power that stood behind her. Because of that, the shock they felt was far deeper.

To see someone like her reduced to such a state, unconscious and heavily injured, was something none of them could easily comprehend.

Fear began to creep into their thoughts.

Who could possibly have done this?

And more importantly…

Who would dare?

”I… it was him!”

A trembling voice broke the silence.

One of the members of the Sword God Palace raised his hand, his finger shaking as he pointed directly at Max.

In an instant, every gaze turned toward him.

The atmosphere grew tense.

People looked at Max with disbelief. His aura clearly revealed that he was only at the third level of the Law Awakening Realm, and yet the one lying unconscious on the ground was Mira, a genius far above that level. No matter how they looked at it, the situation did not make sense.

However, the old man who served as Miraʼs attendant did not hesitate even for a moment.

The moment he heard the accusation, his expression twisted with fury.

Without a word, he drew his sword and rushed forward, his figure appearing before Max in an instant as he slashed downward with killing intent.

The strike descended rapidly.

But before it could reach Max, another force intervened.

A sharp metallic clash rang out as a spear intercepted the blade.

Tamara stood before Max, her spear pressed firmly against the old manʼs sword. The collision created a small shockwave that rippled outward, forcing the old man to step back.

”Tamara?” the old man shouted, his voice filled with rage and disbelief. ”What are you doing? Does the War God Palace intend to take responsibility for what has happened to the Young Miss?”

”Tamara, step aside!” several elders from the War God Palace called out in shock. ”Do not involve yourself in this matter!”

Tamara let out a quiet sigh.

Without responding aloud, she transmitted the truth to them through voice transmission, revealing that Max held the Saint Token of Saint Reiner.

The moment they heard this, the expressions of the War God Palace members changed drastically.

In the next instant, they moved.

One after another, the elders and disciples of the War God Palace stepped forward and positioned themselves in front of Max, forming a protective barrier just like Tamara. Their stance made their intentions clear.

They would not allow anyone to harm him.

Max watched the scene unfold with a faint smile, his expression calm as if he were merely observing a play.

”You… what are all of you doing?” the old man shouted, his anger rising even further. He could not understand why the War God Palace was protecting someone like Max.

”Enough,” one of the elders from the War God Palace, Elder Lyne, said firmly as he stepped forward. ”From this moment onward, this young man is under the protection of the War God Palace. You would do well to let this matter go.”

The old manʼs expression darkened.

At that moment, regret surfaced within him. None of the true high ranking elders of the Sword God Palace had arrived in Orion. If they had been present, the War God Palace would not have dared to act so boldly.

”Tamara, why are you doing this?”

A new voice sounded.

A young man stepped forward from the ranks of the Sword God Palace. He held a sword in his hand, his presence sharp and imposing as he looked toward Tamara.

”This man has brought disaster upon himself,” he said coldly. ”He must be punished. Move aside. All of you.”

It was Edwin.

One of the most outstanding geniuses of the Sword God Palace.

Tamara met his gaze calmly. ”Let it go, Edwin,” she said. ”This matter is no longer within your control. Our numbers here exceed yours. You will not win this.”

Edwinʼs brows furrowed as he stared at Tamara and the others standing in Maxʼs defense.

”Then let us see how long you can keep protecting him,” he said, his voice low but filled with restrained hostility.

Under normal circumstances, he would not have even considered opposing the elders of the War God Palace. Their authority and strength were far beyond what he could challenge directly. However, the situation here was different.

Within this domain, everyoneʼs cultivation had been suppressed to the peak of the Law Refinement Realm.

Because of that, the gap between them had been greatly reduced.

Edwinʼs gaze shifted toward Max, a cold intent flashing in his eyes.

Even if he could not confront all of them at once, he believed that an opportunity would eventually present itself. And when it did, eliminating someone at the third level of the Law Awakening Realm would not be difficult.

He only needed a single opening.
