"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
Alexander made his way to the hotel he had reserved, his men strategically placed around. Every single person tailing him came to a halt.Red Rose and Alexander stepped into the hush of a secluded room. Red Rose could not contain her eagerness, blurting out her hunch. "Something's off with Inigo, an
"Grab some shut-eye in a room. We need to be on top of our game tonight. There's big work ahead."Alexander surveyed the room with a confident smile. He had a strategy up his sleeve. He had made a vow to Inigo, and he intended to keep it by finding his son, no matter what."Understood!" The team ech
With a thunderous crash, Alexander lunged. He unleashed a burst of energy that sent the assailants flying and planted himself firmly before the iron cage.No more pretenses. He was ready for the showdown."Who are you? I don't recall seeing you before," the leader demanded, his voice heavy with susp
Thud! The door flew open."Inigo, the Lord has summoned you!"Jolted awake, Inigo's heart sank. A midnight call? That was a first."What does the Lord require of me?" Inigo asked, trying to get a read on the situation."Cut the chatter. You'll find out when you're there," the messenger snapped, stil
After a satisfying meal, the group meandered down the bustling streets of Bostown, their eyes dancing over the dazzling array of merchandise. Grand Hart, having been outwitted last night, decided against sending anyone to shadow them today.Their leisurely stroll brought them to the Bostown Grand Th
"My apologies, sir. It was an oversight on my part," said Black Tortoise, looking at Alexander with self-reproach. He was responsible for collecting intelligence on the city, yet his focus had been solely on the Grand Hart Lord, causing him to overlook crucial details.It was clear that the Red Bloo
Bostown was a mess that night.The Grand Hart's latest stunt had the town in an uproar with their midnight abductions.In a deserted alley, a bloodied man stood guard over a boy."Have you no shame, snatching people in broad daylight? Is there no law?"The mockery was immediate from the other side.
"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
