Wyrmhold Mountain was wild, the kind of place where signals go to die.Lucky for Alexander, he had the Temple of War's satellite system—no dead zones for him.Half a day's trek with his semi-Empyrean strength, and he had blitzed through most of the journey.Jungle combat was old hat for him; that un
A hush fell over the group at Alexander's words, their faces painted with awkward embarrassment.They had followed the compass for an entire day, only to find themselves more lost than ever.Still, Alexander had to admit there was something impressive about their blind luck. They had somehow stumble
The crew got their stuff together and hit the road with Alexander in the lead.With a bunch of regular folks in tow, they were not exactly speeding along, but at least they were on the right track.Alexander was not sweating it. They would make it by dusk, and the real action was not until Friday th
The journey continued without incident, and they had a good time.The sun was still up as they reached the area where the Costa family's family home was rumored to be, covering several kilometers. Scouting the place would take a while."Stay put and keep out of trouble. I'll shoot up a flare when I
They had stumbled upon the eerie Ghostly Mansion, and everyone was thrilled. They lit a bonfire and gathered around it, basking in the warmth.With fresh water on hand, their packs of dry food ready to eat, and a spot to rest, life seemed pretty sweet.It was difficult to believe that just half a da
"I see it, right there. It's horrifying!" A terrified onlooker covered their eyes, curled up, and shook uncontrollably at the sight of the shadows.The rest, hearing the panic, covered their ears and looked down, too scared to take another glance."Like an ostrich with its head in the sand," Alexand
Dead?The news hit them like a ton of bricks. They had not imagined losing teammates, and the reality was tough to swallow.Three had ventured out, two were dead, and one was out of his mind. It was a crushing blow."We should bury them," said Nerine, her voice trembling as she grabbed a shovel and
Nerine and the others strained their eyes, trying to follow the blur of the two Lords of War as they darted around at breakneck speeds. It was like trying to catch smoke with their bare hands.The moment had arrived.Alexander felt the rush of energy as the two closed in on him with lightning speed.
"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
