"Foolhardy!"I'll hold him off—you unleash hell!" Billy's snarl was tinged with a trace of glee as he bellowed the command.Drawing from his deep-sea combat savvy, he was confident his custom-forged shield could weather at least 30 of Alexander's blows.With a single swing, Alexander's introductory
The onlookers aboard the fishing boat sensed the climax approaching and murmured among themselves."Both of them have powerful auras. Who's going to come out on top?""I'm not sure, but I'm rooting for Mister Kane!""We'll find out soon enough."All eyes were glued to the duelists who were poised to
With a splash, a towering geyser erupted, and a massive sperm whale breached the surface near Alexander.It seemed to linger, as if hesitant to leave the scene.The water roared around it.Alexander soared through the air, landing deftly on the crest of the sperm whale. With a flick of his wrist, he
"Alexa Sword Technique, Void Slash!"Alexander, noticing the frantic crew, unleashed a mighty sword technique. A wave of sword energy screamed through the air.That strike was hastily executed, lacking the full buildup of energy, leaving Alexander open to a slight recoil. Still, it was more than eno
Mystic Energy Pill!Alexander focused inward, feeling the drug coursing through him as he identified the poison, his expression turning grave.A fighter hit by that toxin would temporarily lose their energy, their source of power sealed off, rendering them helpless. In too high a dose, it could be l
"What? It can't be that thing!" someone shouted, and that grabbed everyone's attention. In fact, some were intimidated."Since you seem to know, why don't you enlighten us?" said Alexander, casually tossing the water ball in his hand.He had snagged that mysterious critter on his way out, intrigued
"Spit it out!" With his sword in hand, Alexander pushed off with his legs and soared high toward the Ocean Eater Eel.He was determined to save the sperm whale, no matter the consequences.The Ocean Eater Eel let out a menacing growl, its massive jaws opening to engulf Alexander in one gulp, and the
"That's why you're still breathing," said Alexander, seeing they were just simple fishermen. He let the matter slide, especially since things were just as the captain had said.The captain's heart skipped a beat at the sound, his nerves wound tight as a drum.Splash!A geyser burst forth from the se
"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
