The scene before them was far from what they anticipated.They had pictured the family residing in a modest thatched cottage, tending to fields, and caring for grazing sheep, much like the idyllic image of a hermit's lifestyle.Instead, they were met with towering skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and
"Charge!" A voice from the crowd roared, yet none dared to make the first move. The recent battle had proven that even those in the Lord of War realm would fall quickly. Facing someone as formidable as Alexander, fear gnawed at their hearts."Enough dilly-dallying, attack!" Hoyt's angry command fell
"Go to bed early, rise early, and devote more time to martial arts cultivation—that's how I managed to keep up," Alexander suggested after a moment of contemplation. He discovered martial arts texts within the jade pendant left behind by his mother and diligently followed a regimen of martial arts c
"Alexander, rein in your unruliness!" Hoyt erupted with pent-up frustration after enduring Alexander's mockery all night."Unruly? What can you do about it?" Alexander's response was laced with defiance. "Even a loser like you talks big. Do you think I won't dare to end you?"As tension escalated, A
"Alexander, you're back!" Brody greeted Alexander politely as he emerged from the elevator.Alexander patted Brody's shoulder appreciatively. "Thanks for keeping watch.""No need for thanks. I don't need sleep anyway, ever since I became a War Puppet," Brody replied bluntly. Since his transformation
Alexander ventured near the Cura Cave, scouring the surroundings until he stumbled upon a hidden entrance shrouded by dense vines. It was hardly visible, no doubt.Entering the cavern, darkness enveloped him, rendering visibility nearly impossible.Alexander's form darted into the cavern, feeling co
Exiting the cave, Alexander's demeanor was one of profound dejection. His gaze fixed upon the Alexa Sword in his grip, shaking his head in dismay."Why didn't you tell me that all you wanted was just a boarding place?" he muttered to himself, his disappointment palpable.The battle had taken the tol
"Daxton, where are you?" Alexander's voice echoed through the ruins of the building as he searched for his comrade. Despite the area not being expansive, navigating through the maze of dilapidated structures proved challenging.Suddenly, a familiar scent caught Alexander's attention, drawing him dee
"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
