"Phew! Sounds of activity suggest the villagers are safe," Alexander murmured to himself as he reached the outskirts of Green Mountain Village. He breathed a sigh of relief, though his voice was hoarse from sprinting and his throat parched, longing for water."Stop! Who's there?" Two silhouettes eme
"Black Mamba and I will hold him off. You two, go and take a few villagers as hostages," Green Anaconda ordered, knowing they could not match Alexander's might head-on. Thus, he resorted to underhanded tactics.Alexander's unusual anger at the death of a villager and his protective stance during the
"Watch out!" Alexander swiftly stepped forward, his powerful energy emanating protectively around the young woman, halting her in her tracks.Even in his weakened state, Black Mamba possessed the strength of a semi-Empyrean. Dispatching a regular person would be effortless for him."I want revenge!
Bostown, a hotspot for tourists, often hosted themed events to draw in the crowds.That week's highlight was Magic Week, with a lineup of renowned magicians gracing the city with their presence.Alexander, having snagged a sliver of a clue from Wilder, led his team to Bostown, hoping luck was on the

"Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to witness a miracle!" The assistant's voice boomed, building suspense. The canvases fell on cue.However, Robin had not moved an inch.It was painfully obvious that his grand illusion had flopped.The fans squinted and blinked, unwilling to accept the flop, but the re
With Robin gone, some glared at Alexander with pure loathing."What are you staring at? I don't have a flower on my face. Go after him," Alexander said, gesturing dismissively towards the horizon."Mister Lorrel!"Some chased after Robin, calling out his name, while others turned their adoration int
"Mister Kane, you really should extend your stay in Bostown this time. It would give me great pleasure to show you the hospitality you deserve," said Inigo as he settled into his chair, hopeful that Alexander would agree.Without Alexander's intervention in the past, Inigo's family would have been w
"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
