A bullock cart leisurely moved along a remote path bordering Wyverna in the countryside. Sitting on the cart was Alexander, who had hired a local guide and a primitive means of transportation due to the poor infrastructure in Karl Town.Along the way, the guide enthusiastically shared local customs
Karl Town, a remote and neglected area, had become a self-governing refuge for those fleeing the law. Its population grew, transforming it into a chaotic medium-sized city without formal management. As Alexander and the elderly man entered Karl Town, the elderly man began explaining its perilous nat
Alexander observed everything with a faint smile. Taking his money would not be so easy.He recalled the noodle shack he had been directed to earlier—mere regular folks occupied the place. It did not seem like the headquarters of the elusive Costa family."Go to the hotel at the town entrance and wa
"Is that so?" muttered Alexander, a contemptuous expression crossing his face. He then swiftly unleashed a surge of energy from his fist.The second leader groaned in defeat, staggering back a few steps, his arm numbed by the impact. Despite being of the same realm, Alexander's strength far surpasse
"Speak, but keep your words measured," Alexander cautioned, setting the tone for the forthcoming discussion. Aware of their limited acquaintance and the transactional nature of their interaction, he sought clarity without embellishment.Onyz, initially poised to make extravagant demands, pondered th
"The man leading the charge is the head of the Rebel Roamer Gang, surpassing even the prowess of a Lord of War, and his saber moves with exceptional speed," Onyz hastily whispered to Alexander, recognizing the imminent confrontation.Acknowledging the critical juncture they found themselves in, Onyz
Karl Town was lawless, a place where might made right and contracts were for the weak."Alright, I'm on it!" Onyz called out excitedly as he strode over to his people to coordinate the takeover.The Costas, or the Costa family, understood the gravity of the moment. They were finally making a name fo
"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
