The gunfire persisted, dwindling as the assailants fell one by one. Cimarron, too, found it challenging to sustain the resistance. All of this happened within a minute."Hey, what's the hold-up? Keep firing!" A voice cursed over the intercom, frustrated by what seemed like a lack of effort from thei
"Is that the best they've got?" Alexander scoffed, shaking his head in disdain at the surveillance camera. He had anticipated more surprises from Ghost Fox but overestimated his opponent instead."Mister Kane, what should we do next?" Cimarron was a little nervous. Even as a Lord of War, he could no

"Hey, old man, enough with the toads. It doesn't do anything except be disgusting," Alexander teased. Despite their exchange of attacks, Alexander did not take the old man's efforts with much seriousness."Show some respect if you want a real fight, kid," the old man retorted, his breath labored and
Jacinta!" Cimarron's voice echoed through the chamber as he rushed to his daughter's side, gathering her into his arms with a mixture of relief and concern."Hand over the contracts. Now!" insisted Ghost Fox. He had lost his stake and was afraid that Cimarron would go back on his promise.Alexander

"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

"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
