Amid this standoff, a figure cut through the tension—Eden.The head guard, recognizing the newcomer's strength, approached with a grin. "Sir, this guy..."However, he was cut off as Eden booted him aside, his voice icy. "Blocking a guest of the boss? Looking for an early grave?"Stephen had been wai
"Did you doze off or something? Why so quiet?" teased Alexander, breaking the silence that had fallen between them.Stephen sensed the urgency in the air, but he remained composed, responding with a forced chuckle. "You must be kidding, Mister Kane!"Considering you've agreed to let my son off the h
The showdown commenced.The crowd was electrified, their attention sharpened, buzzing with excitement.Whoosh, whoosh!They moved in unison, ignoring the flurry of cards, each charging at the other with breakneck speed.The card duel was a mere facade, the real test probing the extent of their skill
The message inside was brief, just a single line.[I've gone to Peakview Mountain, no need to worry.]The day before, Alexander had heard clear as day that a miracle was expected at Peakview Mountain today, drawing many to witness it.Alexander was ticked off. He dialed Stephen's number and let him
The speck drew closer, and as it neared Peakview Mountain, it erupted into a blinding golden brilliance.The onlookers finally got a clear view—it was a massive platform. Seated upon it was an old man with a snowy beard, looking every bit the part of a sage.To the gathering of seniors, his visage s
The clash continued, with Stephen struggling more and more. Alexander, on the other hand, seemed to be having the time of his life, barely breaking a sweat.Alexander was holding back, biding his time for the right moment.Taking Stephen down was just a way to shake up the complacent citizens and op
Alexander's arrival at Peakview Mountain revealed a landscape of ruin, a far cry from the once picturesque immortal mountain.Rumors had spread of a miraculous event that day—an elder arriving on a platform, only to be cut down by a fiery figure, transforming into a fox.It was all so surreal, like
"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

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
