"Let go! The palace is full of powerful combatants. You won't escape," snarled Lambert through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with hatred. He assumed reinforcements had arrived, confident in the elite royal guards who had taken down even semi-Empyreans.Maxine tightened her grip, causing Lambert to
Alexander listened intently to the unfolding mystery and immediately responded, "This person is the key. If you know anything, tell me."At long last, they had a crucial lead. Following these clues would surely expose the mastermind behind the scenes and unravel the plot.Willy, recalling the unplea
The largest ancient fortress at the center of the city was where King Morten resided. The security was formidable: Sentries every five paces, guards at 10, and more than 20 patrol squads visible, with countless more lurking in the shadows.Seeing the tight security, Alexander could not help but comm
Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered into the palace, infusing the atmosphere with a subtle energy. The ancient castles, adorned with purple and gold bands, exuded a festive air as the day marked Emmerson's ascension to the throne as the 15th King of Morwen.The death of the old
"Poisonous gas! Cover your mouth and nose!" shouted Maxine, quickly alerting Grasshopper as she spotted the ominous light-blue gas seeping into the room. She regretted not blowing up the abandoned ship during her last visit.With a thud, Maxine gripped her alloy battle knife tightly in both hands an
"Haha! Your death looms close!" Timothy's eerie laugh echoed through the smoke, his voice rasping and filled with menace.He was a pinnacle semi-Empyrean years ago, but at this moment, his strength was even more formidable.As the smoke and dust began to clear, more than a dozen figures emerged, unh
"Ahh!""Not good. Someone's breaking through! Stop them quickly!""No! They're too strong! We can't hold them off!"Panic erupted just as desperate shouts rang out from outside the door, sending the scene into chaos. The entrance exploded with a deafening bang, and several figures were hurled backwa
Sword intent at major completion versus minor completion—it might sound like just a difference in words, but the disparity in swordsmanship was vast. At the same physical limits, without the aid of a battle formation, Timothy would have fallen long ago."Use it now, or you'll lose your chance!" taun
"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
