At the hotel, Alexander and Sheila were seated at a table."Mister Kane, why don't we just grab Albert and squeeze him for information?" Sheila suggested, finding the approach straightforward and practical."No point, he's just a figurehead. We've got to sniff out the real power behind the throne."
"Step out and meet your end!" Alexander's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze fierce as a lion provoked to wrath.Provoking the wrath of the Temple of War's master was no small feat.Shadows darted forward. Over a dozen figures sprang from the corridor before Alexander, ready to face him.The thick stench
The subterranean chamber trembled, stones and dust raining down from the ceiling. If that kept up, they were in for a cave-in.The clash of titans, those beyond the mighty semi-Empyrean and the Lord of War, sent shockwaves of energy rippling through the air."Settle down!"Alexander leaped high, lan
Giovanni's hands shook as he gathered the fragments of the black scale from the floor, his face darkening like a storm cloud ready to burst.The life token of the giant centipede lay in pieces before him.An eerie silence fell over the room, the tension so thick that one could cut it with a knife. A
Alexander's ears perked up as he peered into the shadows, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "So, you've got the nerve to set a trap for me, but not the nerve to show yourselves?"The would-be ambushers were talking big, but they clearly did not see him as a threat.Two figures emerged, reveal
Albert stepped up to the forefront, cleared his throat, and launched into his act."The Red Zone's meteoric rise is all thanks to our collective hard work. To keep thriving, we need to stand on our own two feet, to shake off any chains that bind us. That's why I'm declaring my departure from Witchwo
"You're the puppet master, aren't you? The real master of that monstrous centipede."Alexander eyed Giovanni, quickly gauging the man's fighting prowess.He must be stronger than the giant centipede, even more formidable than a Lord of War."You got it half right. However, just like me, the sacred c
Boom!Before Sheila, fists clashed, unleashing a massive energy shockwave that sent ripples through the air.It was Alexander's doing.Simultaneously, he pressed a hand to Sheila's back, channeling a burst of energy that scattered the poison. His actions were seamless, executed in one fluid motion.
"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
