On the serene path of the Stewart family manor, two figures sauntered leisurely. It was none other than Alexander and Xyla."Mister Kane, Grandfather told me to bring you over to his room," Xyla conveyed her task, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty, her face obscured by the darkness.Sensin
Early in the morning, the sky hung heavy with gray clouds, but the Stewart family manor buzzed with anticipation. Today marked the seventieth birthday of the Stewart family head, a cause for celebration. Invitations had been extended far and wide, ensuring a gathering of dignitaries from all corners
Maxwell sensed the implied message and spoke up. "Alexander… If something is on your mind, speak plainly.""The method is straightforward. I'll disperse your body's energy entirely and seal a few major acupoints using a specialized technique," Alexander explained. He then added, explaining the metho
"It's just an illusion. It can't scare me!" shouted Doug, his energy surging as he charged toward Gregor, his face contorted with rage. This time, he was determined to make Gregor pay for his defiance."Wake up!" Gregor sensed the full force behind Doug's attack and approached the confrontation with
As time passed, the atmosphere in the Stewart family manor became livelier as more guests arrived. Alexander had hoped to have something to eat and return to Ol' Mare after the birthday banquet. However, the Stewart family head insisted he join the main table, despite Alexander's initial reluctance.
As the Stewart family head's attack surged toward Elwood, Elwood's aura blazed with intensity, unmistakably marking him as a semi-Empyrean. Their clash erupted in a powerful surge of energy. This sent nearby spectators staggering backward as a wooden table splintered under the force, sending dishes
"Grandpa!""Please, I'm begging you—let my grandfather go!"Xyla and Thoth had been crying so much that they were practically drenched in tears, but all they could do was seethe with helpless rage.They were outmatched, and they knew it.Elwood had been waiting for just that moment. He cackled wicke
"Why the big grin? You found some honey in the trash?" snarked Elwood."Taking you down won't even make me break a sweat!" mused Alexander.Alexander found his opponent laughably weak and was more interested in testing how strong his partially mastered ancient sword spirit was.Elwood Stewart, a sem
"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
