"If you don't act now, you'll never have another chance!" shouted Alexander, powering up his feet and launching himself into the fray. He had given them an opportunity, but they failed to seize it. It was his turn."Alex! Rrgh!" Grand Hart Lord bellowed, its eyes glowing an even deeper red as its au
As Alexander's sword descended, Grand Hart Lord was engulfed in the cascading sword energy, causing the earth to collapse and sending shockwaves that shattered earthen walls, filling the sky with yellow dust.Onlookers gasped and struggled against the swirling dust, choking and coughing in its grip.
As Alexander walked, he sensed something off and abruptly halted, signaling the group to be quiet."Don't interrupt. This is serious," the old professor insisted, eager to continue his lecture. However, Alexander's next words sent chills through everyone."We're missing someone," he said, his voice
At that moment, the old professor, more excited than Alexander, was the first to speak. "Adrian, Bernard, dig a pit and use a jack to lift The Dragon-Blocking Stone just enough for someone to crawl through."This was true professionalism; the professor had already devised a solution. The two young m
"It's mine!" Alexander was surprised the professor's sharp eyes had spotted the jade pendant in the dim light. Quickly, he pocketed the pendant to avoid further trouble."Sir, you can't do this. Put it back," the old professor implored, approaching Alexander patiently."This really is mine. Look, I
However, something was off about the plant.Alexander distinctly remembered tomato plants standing upright, not sprawling like vines. That was no ordinary plant—it was the Ruby Lotus!As he combed through his mental catalog of botanical knowledge, he recalled an ancient text mentioning this plant, b
The battle was brutal, lasting a relentless 30 minutes before it subsided.The presence of two semi-Empyreans was a blessing indeed. Without them, it would have been a total massacre."Those below Lord of War rank, get to picking now. The rest of you, stay alert for any more surprise python attacks,
The old professor's team had been together for years, and their bonds ran deep and strong. Shockingly, they had been betrayed for money."Ah, it's... Blame it on my blindness," the old professor murmured weakly, consumed by guilt.After checking them over, Alexander realized Bernard's legs were badl
"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
