"Speak your mind," said Alexander, wanting to hear what was on Daxton's mind first."I want to spar with you, of course, just a normal exchange of skills!" Daxton spoke quickly, explaining, fearing that Alexander might misunderstand and escalate the conflict.When he came, he only intended to resolv
Hearing this, Alexander gathered his strength and said solemnly, "I'm nearing full power. After all, it's just a friendly spar. No need for a life-or-death struggle." His opponent before him, despite past grievances, deserved respect. A mistake now and then could be forgiven. As long as one correct
"Brother, now that everything is clear, shall we negotiate with Alexander?"With these words, Jordan's expression changed, shaking his head slightly. "No, we can't let Black Maple Master off the hook, and Alexander needs to be dealt with too."I see you've also reached the semi-Empyrean level. As lo
"You think you could keep me here? You're not even worthy," Alexander stared at him, his eyes flashing with killing intent and his words dripping with disdain."Brother, I brought him here today. You can't act like this," Daxton intervened.He felt a bit panicked inside. Was Alexander right all alon
With a single sword strike, the battle ended."Is this truly his full strength?" Daxton stared blankly at the scene, feeling numb.Last night's battle on the rooftop made him think that the gap between him and Alexander was minimal. At this moment, it seemed like the gulf between their strengths was
In the bustling city of Beargandy, at New Chesire Group's branch office.A loud thud echoed as a bloodied man crashed to the ground. He gasped for breath, his life hanging by a thread. This man was the general manager of New Chesire Group's branch office."Mister White!" Others were subdued, powerle
"Since the first day of action, I gathered information on the attackers from the Quantz family and sent it to Maxine," explained Alexander casually, relying on the power of technology rather than intuition. In truth, he did not grasp the technical details. Maxine filled him in."Oh! I don't get it,"
"Black Maple Master, someone's coming to kill us!" Jordan bolted upright from his chair, bellowing toward the adjacent room. When danger loomed, the two could only join forces against the enemy."Here they come!" Black Maple Master responded just as the door was smashed open. A figure tumbled in, lo
"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
