"You're sharp, Mister. We can't hide anything from you. I'm impressed." Water Phantom gave Alexander a thumbs-up and proudly declared, "I crafted and set up this Giant Submerged Dragon Formation."He saw nothing wrong in using the setup to extort money, and his shamelessness was on full display."Ba
Alexander paid no attention to Water Phantom's bluff, continuing to eat his prime rib while awaiting the responses from the intercom. Before long, several crew members, inspired by the situation, began to suggest methods of torture with disturbing enthusiasm."Strip him off of his clothes, expose hi
"Mister Kane, according to the coordinates on the chart, we'll reach the Flowing Abyss in about two hours!" Jansen, holding the navigation instrument, approached Alexander excitedly. It was a first-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and possibly his last."Got it," Alexander replied, his gaze fixed
The storm came in a flash. The wind was raging, the rain was intense, and the waves were overpowering one another. It was as if the tempest would devour the whole boat. A large fishing boat was nothing more than a flatboat in a stormy sea.It was coming!Facing the superstorm, Alexander spread his l
"Thank you so much for saving my daughter's life, Mister Kane!" Jansen expressed his heartfelt gratitude.Jansen had provided a map and some information, but he felt that these gestures paled in comparison to the life-saving act Alexander had performed. He recognized that he was deeply indebted to A
"The Flowing Abyss doesn't look all that dangerous!""The older generation must've been shipwrecked due to poor navigation skills and bad luck with the storm," someone speculated."Whatever the case, I'm focused on the treasure," another added.As the ship drew closer, the crew's agitation grew, the
"Hi, Mister Kane. I hope you don't mind if we join you. We won't cause you any trouble!""Please, Mister Kane. This treasure has been passed down through our ancestors, and we just want to take some back to strengthen our family.""Alexander, do you remember me?"The forces that arrived mostly had t
"Haha! Weak, but you've got style!"Rob laughed mockingly, feeling the feeble impact of Alexander's sword strike. His confidence soared as he believed the rumors—Alexander must be gravely injured and not at full strength.Meanwhile, Billy and the other onlookers quietly prepared to strike Alexander
"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
