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
Boyd, fresh from battle and nursing light wounds, was quickly overwhelmed, facing seven on his own."I need backup!" he bellowed, and over ten from the Holy Tooth Shrine charged to his side. Alas, they were outmatched.That ancient battle array was formidable.The rest should have joined the fray, a
"Come on! We've got to protect the seven chiefs!"The heirs of the Oldenland rushed forward, desperate to save their leaders. They were hundreds strong; they could make a stand."Think we're just for decoration? I'm ready to stand with Mister Kane in battle!" Red Rose stepped up first, with the rest
"I've got things to handle. I just need a quiet spot for a quick talk," said Alexander.He was eager to get going, not keen on hanging around any longer than necessary. The dying professor's last words added another item to his to-do list before heading back."Whatever you say, I'm all ears." Mokla
The joint operation had taken down the notorious Grand Hart Lord, marking the mission as a success.However, Alexander had declared his departure from the coalition. Since he was the one who dealt the fatal blow, the fallout was not really anyone else's problem.The return to Amanlee City was a quie
Thump! With a casual flex, Alexander flipped the mattress, revealing two cloth bags.There they were—the relics, just like that.Adrian was seething. Why had he reacted so strongly, giving it all away?Alexander ignored them both, reaching for the bags to check the contents.In that turning moment,
Alexander sensed trouble, Gunter was likely grappling with some heavy stuff, and it was throwing him off balance."Let's eat. I'll catch up with him later," Alexander suggested, unveiling the breakfast spread—an egg, a grilled sausage, two slices of bread, and two cherry-sized Ruby Lotus."Tiny toma
"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
