"Ha! Sending more just means more for the chopping block!"'Phoenix' Maxine let out a scornful laugh, then unleashed her full power and barreled into them.That power!"Bad news. We've been duped! She's at least a Lord of War level! Time to bail!" yelled one of them, and they all turned tail, no lon
"Well, well, if it isn't the Quigg family's disgrace. Got the nerve to show your face?"Ivano's shout had drawn the attention of the foreman and a swarm of cyborgs."You scum, you'll get what's coming to you," Ivano seethed with hatred.Since his departure, his family had endured nothing but hardshi
Out in the snowy expanse, another foreman who had fled his post was racing to another mining camp."Hurry, I need to see your boss!""Nash, you're a mess. Did you bolt from a calamity?" the local foreman teased.The two mining camps were close neighbors, and the workers were familiar with each other
As dawn broke, Alexander's crack team, Ivano, Yaromir, and a dozen or so clan members convened at the Quigg homestead. Yaromir, though, gave Alexander the silent treatment. "We're off to rouse the Iceman. What's your angle?" he prodded.Yesterday, only Maxine and White Tiger had shown their hands, l
Yaromir and his group kept riding, but the rumble of engines was closing in from behind."Mister Quigg, we've got company. It's Dak and his gang from before," Ivano glanced back.The faces were a blur, but the lead rider's winter gear was a dead giveaway.What?Yaromir squinted, his mind racing with
The clash between Dak's group and the penguins was brutally intense, and it was not long before men fell to the beaks of their feathered foes.Yaromir, watching from a safe distance, gulped down his fear. Had they joined the fray earlier, their fate would have been just as grim, if not worse."Sir,
Upon ensuring the person's safety, Alexander returned to the front of the group. After breaking through a round of obstacles, the group reached the cave entrance. Once inside, they were finally safe."Idiot. You ran off recklessly and nearly disrupted our formation, putting everyone in danger," Yaro
The family at the dinner table was in a frenzy. Some suggested taking Alexander to the hospital, while others wanted to find someone to exorcize him.Despite the chaos, their faces were filled with concern for Alexander.Seeing this, Alexander sighed inwardly. Though the scene was beautiful, he knew
"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
