"Alas!"The old captain unsheathed his weapon and stood behind Alexander, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings."Mister Kane, you were still too careless."His actions clearly demonstrated his loyalty. Having already chosen to side with Alexander, there was no turning back—he could only figh
"Mister Kane, please lead us!"The old captain was very tactful. He immediately knelt on the ground in respect.In this chaotic region, someone had to take charge.A series of thuds echoed as hundreds of people dropped to their knees, bowing in submission."Hail, Mister Kane!"Such was the way of th
Knock, knock!"Mister Kane, may I come in?"A soft and alluring voice drifted into the villa. It was Anna, the granddaughter of the old captain.Alexander exhaled a deep breath, purging the remaining toxins from his body. "If you have any news, just say it," he replied coldly.He did not want too ma
On the dilapidated road, a group of vehicles moved forward, each bearing Lord Fordant's large flag, which spared them a lot of trouble. In the passenger seat, the old captain tried to curry favor, his flattery words flowing freely."Mister Kane, you have an extraordinary aura. You radiate the aura o
Years ago, felons from the Sinister Territory were held at White Bear Fortress but after a period of turmoil and the death of the town's guardian, it became a haven for the prisoners. White Bear, one of the three great generals under Crimson Wyrm Master, ruled this place. On this particular day, th
A powerful arm bursts out from the swirling sand and dust, seizing the leader's face."That ambush was a good idea but not powerful enough," Alexander said, stepping forward.He emerged from the haze, unscathed and spotless, his protective energy shield having easily withstood the fierce explosion.
"Crazy enough," Alexander muttered as he made his way out of the ambush. The enemies in front of him looked like they were on some potent drug. They were fearless, charging at him with no regard for their lives. As one fell, another quickly took their place, coming at him in waves.Alexander's arm
At White Bear Fortress, it was nearly noon, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky. The entire fortress buzzed with festivity, and over two thousand people gathered. White Bear was getting married, and his reputation in the Sinister Territory drew a significant number of guests.On a makeshift sta
"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
