"Even a weapon as discreet as a back crossbow was prepared, your Blood Sickle Group or should I say, White Wolf Group has put in a great deal of effort."At the very moment the sharp swords were about to unleash their deadly force, a young woman's voice echoed through the venue. Affected by the voic
Creak!After about five minutes, the tightly closed heavy stone door of the old castle slowly opened on both sides.A white girl in a long basque dress with her face covered in a white veil looked coldly at Virle, who was kneeling on the ground.After a few seconds, she turned and walked toward the
On the outskirts of Phoenix City, 700 kilometers away, in Lone Star City, stood the formidable stronghold of the White Wolf Group.With the former leader, Blood Sickle, incapacitated and missing, the group transformed. They adopted a new name of the White Wolf Group, and its dominance in the underwo
The entrance to the White Wolf Group's base was heavily guarded by a formidable array of assassins and snipers, all poised to eliminate their target—Alexander."This base is quite well-run, Blood Sickle."Alexander looked around, not bothered by the threat lurking around. His gaze swept over the imp
It really was Alexander!At the exit of the secret passage, White Wolf shakily turned to face the imposing presence of Alexander, his two suitcases crashing to the ground as his legs gave away beneath him.It was over. His world crumbled as he realized the futility of his actions. With Alexander sta
"Well, White Wolf, you were smarter than I gave you credit for."With the White Wolf's demise, Alexander paused briefly in the dimly lit tunnel, an epiphany dawning on his face.No coward's death for him, no clinging to a life not worth living.Even though Alexander had moved on, it was clear that s
With a swish, the room fell silent as Loran's declaration hung in the air. The key supporters of Alice in the family council chamber paled, and Vandalf's face twisted with fury.The nerve!Vandalf had not even relinquished his role as the head of the family, and Alice was already the heir apparent.
In the conference hall of Ayr Castle, Alice trembled as Loran, with a vile smirk, closed in on her. Her eyes were wide with a terror so profound that it seemed to cut to the bone.Had he lost his mind?Though Loran and Alice were not siblings by blood, their fathers, Tihomir and the recently passed
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
