"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
"Whew! Well, sir, I hope you can forgive any offense," said Macy, realizing the commotion was not about her. She quickly tucked away her sharp blade and offered an apology.She then guided the way silently.Alexander had noticed her earlier stance; the woman clearly knew how to handle herself. Knock
"Isn't it obvious? It's me!" Alexander's lips curved into a wicked smile as he walked toward the head of the rowdy bunch, his internal energy beginning to flow.The person before him was none other than Water Phantom, who had been thrown onto a lifeboat and left to drift with the wind.There were on
"Go ahead." Alexander had time to spare, so he let Macy finish her story, hoping it would help her give up. He continued eating without any interruption.Macy collected her thoughts and began her emotional and logical explanation."I was an orphan, you see. I entered an orphanage at a young age, thi
The leading aggressor, who had reached the level of a grandmaster, made a throat-slitting gesture and showed a cruel smile. "Kill them. Leave no traces!"At this moment, the reckless young Osprey jumped out again, shouting at the masked men, "Let go of Macy, or I'll fight you all!"The newcomers lau
"Are you tired of living? How dare you speak to Lord Harkem like that!"One of the thugs drew out a knife and swung it toward Alexander. They were used to bullying the fishermen, always thinking of themselves as the unchallenged overlords of the fishing port, free to do as they pleased.However, to
A ball of flame rose in Alexander's hand, burning the letter to ashes. He shouted angrily, "Kyle, you must die!"The letter demanded Alexander's submission or suicide, threatening that Kyle would come to Ol' Mare and annihilate his entire family otherwise. Such actions disregarded all codes of the m
Jansen glanced at the pitch-black night outside warily. "Mister Kane, are we going now?"It was indeed rushed. They had just returned to the Zenith Order mansion and had not yet rested.Alexander did not find it inappropriate and asked back, "Oh, is there a problem?"He had just finished a call with
"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
