"It was agreed that the conflict would remain between the Temple of War and the Fang Saint Temple. Now you're intervening at will, treating Wyverna as if it has no allies?" came a booming voice from the forest, accompanied by the explosive aura of a semi-Empyrean.The newcomer was not only an elite

"Let's give it a go, then!" Harold, eager for battle, launched the first attack. His short-handled battle axes gleamed with a cold light, clearly not ordinary weapons.The sword in Alexander's hand trembled slightly as he met Harold's assault, his sword energy surging. No matter how strong the oppon
"Alexa Sword Technique, Total Destruction!"Alexander gripped his sword with both hands, his arms trembling slightly from the immense energy impact.The ground shook, and the air seemed to ignite with the moment's intensity. His energy was nearly depleted, but his accumulated sword energy had reache
The combined strike of nearly 20 semi-Empyreans forced Alexander to dodge. He stomped on the ground, rapidly retreating to create distance.A barrage of attacks followed, eventually cornering Alexander. This left him no choice but to face them head-on. With his energy nearly depleted, he could only
Alexander felt a pang of frustration. When it rained, it poured.Stranded in this desolate place, the last thing he needed was to face off against a formidable semi-Empyrean."Come out! Quit hiding!" he shouted into the mist, his voice echoing faintly in the eerie silence.Instead of a response, a b

"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

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

"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
