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.
Shadows darted through the Wyrmhold Mountain, the group moving at a brisk clip.The leader, Westin Morley, halted abruptly and called back to the others, his voice booming through the trees."Everyone, stop! Family heads, up ahead. We've got things to discuss."Westin, the big-shot elder of the Morl
Clang!The blow landed, but Alexander stood unshaken, the sound of metal ringing in the air. The feeble strike stood no chance against his energy shield.The assailant gaped in disbelief, eyeing their blade as if it were a counterfeit.With a shudder, Alexander sent a wave of energy slicing through
"Even though you're a semi-Empyrean, we have five of your equals here," Westin warned, his voice heavy with implication. "Think carefully about your next words."With that, Westin unleashed his inner power, and the others followed suit. It was a blatant display of strength.The alliance of the five
Without waiting for their reply, Alexander shouldered the hefty stone and made a beeline for the mysterious figure.The five great families had just backed down, so there was no concern about any deceptive schemes.The figure noticed Alexander's approach, spun on their heel, and darted into the thic
On a quiet night, a sudden noise shattered the stillness."The treasure has appeared, to the south of the old mansion, in the hands of the Morley family."The voice from afar, like a thunderclap, jolted everyone’s nerves. All eyes turned to Westin.Alexander realized that their plan had begun—a blat
In the plaza of the Costa family's ancient residence, the battle was fiercely intense, but it became Alexander's solo show.Westin had retreated, and naturally, the Morley family's experts would not intervene, watching from the sidelines instead. They seemed to be biding their time, waiting for the
"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
