Wade then pulled out a bell and jingled it softly.The clear chime of the bell resonated across the landscape. Despite Wade's gentle motions, the sound carried with it an incredible strength, reaching far into the distance. A deafening roar shook the ground as the beasts charged toward them. Jasper's face was drained of color. Weren't they supposed to have control over them? Why were they still attacking?"All troops, prepare for battle!" he shouted urgently.But without warning, the stampeding beasts gradually decreased their speed, their eyes darting around in an odd manner. "Retreat!" Wade uttered a single word. Power surged, creating an immense symbol in the sky, as his voice echoed like thunder.The creatures instinctively retreated, and Jasper was ecstatic. A ferocious roar erupted. But the creatures in the back remained unaffected and continued their relentless charge.Jasper shouted, "Mr. Hanz, your control isn't strong enough!" Wade was utterly confident. "Don
When Aiden received the order to retreat, he was still puzzled. He had no idea that the plan was to use nuclear weapons to flatten Mount Munmere. The plan seemed too drastic. Mount Munmere covered an immense area, spanning thousands of miles in length and depth. It would take a massive amount of nuclear weapons to completely level it—far more than what Bukmond had available.Plus, even if they did have enough firepower, Lavinia would probably hesitate to use it all. Destroying such a vast expanse of land would surely cause a worldwide outcry and could potentially impact the surrounding countries, including Dasovia itself. Merely 300 miles from the northern border, Mount Munmere was within reach. Lavinia knew that precise attacks were necessary this time, and luckily, Aiden's intelligence reports had given her a general idea of where Tylland's 100,000 soldiers and monstrous armies were located. It would be sufficient information to plan her next move.The situation became a fran
Jasper stood beside him, shocked into silence. He thought that Wade was quite impressive, able to convince others with his words and turn the situation around. The alpha beasts overlord grumbled in response, feeling their intelligence had been questioned.Wade argued, "Please listen to me before you dismiss this idea. You have been stationed here for many years, so surely you are aware that Mount Munmere sits close to the northern border of Dasovia's wilderness. Your presence has always been a source of tension for Dasovia. "With only a handful of superiors like you, Dasovia could unleash a dangerous force that would bring immense trouble, perhaps even disaster, to their northern wilderness. That's why Dasovia has continuously sought to eliminate your kind. "Just the other day, The Light Council received reliable intelligence that Dasovia is preparing to use nuclear weapons to destroy and eradicate Mount Munmere, eradicating your entire population and eliminating the threat once
"Holy shit!" Aiden was stunned on the spot. What was that? It was a nuclear weapon. Lavinia was actually using a nuclear weapon directly. No wonder she had ordered him to lead the troops back quickly. At this moment, Aiden was filled with profound admiration, astounded by Lavinia's extraordinary courage and determination! Aiden shouted, "Quick! Get back to the city!"The 30,000 soldiers were also extremely nervous. Their feelings were a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. The use of nuclear weapons was a rare event globally, making this a unique opportunity to witness it firsthand. Without a doubt, Mount Munmere would be completely destroyed by the explosion."Report! Zone One is ready!" "Report! Zone Two is ready!" "Report! Zone Three is ready!" "Report…"A series of reports shot up to the city gate tower of Bukmond, reaching Lavinia's ears. All 18 nuclear zones were fully prepared.It was too late to change course now, as this matter was like an arrow released
In the blink of an eye, the army of 100,000 had already suffered a loss of 30,000 soldiers, and more than half of the beast groups were killed or wounded. The thick smell of blood filled the sky, reaching even the distant Bukmond. The once peaceful sky in the direction of Mount Munmere now appeared as a bloody red. Lavinia, along with veteran generals like Odin and Aiden, was taken aback by the scene. Even the most battle-hardened soldiers were horrified, having never witnessed such utter devastation before, despite their experiences in numerous wars both large and small."Report!""Satellite monitoring shows that the southwest area of Mount Munmere has completely fallen, and a quarter of Mount Munmere has been destroyed."Lavinia nodded slightly. Odin said, "Ms. Mosley, should we continue?" "There's no need." Lavinia shook her head. She was hesitant to resort to nuclear strikes again. It seemed too inhumane, not out of concern for the enemy but for the beasts that inhabit
Late at night, in the grand hall of Bukmond Mansion, Odin, Aiden, and a group of generals all wore serious expressions. Two days ago, the Cabinet and Ministry of Defense of Drammore had jointly sent a letter demanding Lavinia's arrival within three days. It was clear that this was related to the use of nuclear weapons, as the letter was filled with underlying anger from both parties. This was certainly not a positive development. With only one day left until the three-day deadline, everyone was deeply concerned. "Ms. Mosley," they said, their worry evident in their voices.Lavinia managed to force a bitter smile as she replied, "Don't worry about it. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. After all, I am a five-star Ms. Mosley. The worst-case scenario would simply be losing my title and returning to my previous status. No real harm done." Odin's tone was serious as he spoke, "Ms. Mosley, the situation in Drammore is complex. The powerful individuals who previously pursued
"The Ice Tribe!" Gideon murmured to himself.The sound of a creaking door caught his attention, and he turned to see an elderly woman slowly emerging from the thatched cottage. She was bent over, leaning on a walking stick, and her disheveled hair hung in front of her face, giving off a deathly presence. It was clear she was very old, possibly on the brink of death. To Gideon's surprise, he also detected a sense of threat emanating from her. It was both unexpected and remarkable. Ronan whispered, "Don't underestimate her. This old woman is a formidable figure." Gideon nodded. Marie Hattle approached Winter and took hold of her wrist. After a brief moment, she let out a sigh and said, "It's been so long since a descendant of our royal bloodline has appeared. My lifetime of work has not been for nothing." Tears streamed down Winter's face.Marie comforted, "Do not shed tears, child. Our tribe has not disappeared completely. There are still numerous branches scattered beyo
"Frenzy poison?" Marie frowned slightly and snorted coldly. "He deserves it. He took possession of our clan's inheritance scroll and got harmed by the frenzy poison. It serves him right." Winter shook her head. "No, ma'am, it's not like that. I used him. He helped me retrieve the inheritance scroll and ended up being afflicted by the frenzy poison. Ma'am, he doesn't have much time left. Do you have a way to cure him?" Marie stared at Winter, her gaze meaningful. "Winter, I can see that you care deeply about him, don't you?" "Yes." Winter didn't deny it. She spoke with utmost seriousness, "My sister was captured by the Spirale clan, and I need Gideon's help to rescue her." "What?" Marie was both shocked and furious. Winter cried, "My sister is only nine years old. I don't know how she's being treated by the Spirale clan. I must save her, and all my hopes rest on Gideon. He can't die." "Entangled by karma." Marie sighed, stroking Winter's silver hair. "Winter, there will inev
The High Marshal title worked like a charm.The mayor of this city, Bailey Pearce, personally welcomed Gideon and his group into his residence with great enthusiasm and utmost respect.After all, news of Gideon storming Cook Manor and carrying the Imperial Token had already spread through every level of government across the Nine Provinces. Who would dare provoke the High Marshal?"Marshal Snow, what brings you to the Wasteland? Are you here to scout for resource troves? If so, I'd be happy to guide you myself.""There's no need for that. I'm here for information on Nethercult."Bailey was visibly startled. "Marshal Snow, Nethercult is one of the three major powers in the northern region. They're no joke."Gideon gave a cold snort. "I'm here to kill their cult leader. If Nethercult's disciples know what's good for them, they'll be put to work mining resources. If they don't, then I'll wipe them all out."Bailey broke out in a cold sweat.So, the rumors were true. Gideon was like
Attwell was already a Supreme.And judging by his energy, he wasn't just any Supreme, but a peak Supreme. He was probably even stronger than Pope of Light and Yohan. No one expected Attwell to have reached this level.Edric and Jandial immediately backed off."Attwell, we meant nothing by it. Don't act on impulse. Alfsee's our grandnephew. We will never hurt him.""Yeah, Attwell. I was out of line earlier. That's on me."Attwell gave a cold snort and reined in his energy. Only then did the two finally breathe easy."It's really not that big a deal." Attwell shook his head and said calmly, "I know the location of several S-class dragon veins in Dasovia. There's one right here in the Wasteland. If I wanted to, I could subdue it. With the power of an S-class dragon vein, I could go head-to-head with him."But what's the point? Fame, fortune, power—none of it means anything to me. Life is short. I might as well live it relaxed and comfortably."Edric and Jandial were deeply shaken.
"Forget everything else. When it comes to familial ties, I'm your uncle. No matter how you look at it, you should come out and see me," Jandial exclaimed.That seemed to work. Inside the bamboo house, a presence stirred.Moments later, a handsome middle-aged man stepped out, dressed in rough linen clothes, long hair loosely draped over his back, yet still carrying an unmistakable noble air."Attwell…""Things have changed. I'm no longer a prince. I'm just Attwell."Edric and Jandial exchanged glances, then said, "Attwell, don't get the wrong idea. We're not using Alfsee to threaten you."Attwell smiled. "I've let go of all that. Alfsee might be my son, but he holds no sway over me. He has his own path—whether he lives or dies has got little to do with me."That caught Edric and Jandial off guard.Watching Attwell watering the flowers, they realized they couldn't read him anymore. Atwell really might have let go of everything and returned to simplicity."Attwell, this is a rare
A visit to the Nethercult in the northern Wasteland—perfect. It was basically a free pass to wipe out Nethercult.Gideon's killing intent surged.Jessica said, "Marshal Snow, should I talk to my father and arrange for a troop to assist you?""There's no need for that. If I wanted, I could contact Samson and have the Dragon's Aegis flatten Nethercult. But that would put Elara's life at risk. I'll pay the Nethercult a visit myself. I want to see what kind of stunt Tristan is trying to pull.""Marshal Snow, it's too dangerous. Tristan definitely has something planned. He wouldn't be bold enough to let you walk into Nethercult otherwise.""It's fine." Gideon wasn't afraid.He already had the confidence to take on a supreme. Even if Tristan had brought backup, it didn't matter."Gideon." At that moment, Ronan and Noel arrived."Mr. Foley, I didn't expect to see you here."Ronan laughed. "I was actually there the day you were appointed. Back then I was trying to guess who the new Hig
"Supreme core, huh?" Gideon muttered, the corner of his mouth lifting. "Interesting. I'm intrigued.""Die!" Tristan screamed hysterically.Gideon rapidly retreated—not out of fear, but to create distance, preparing a devastating killer move.Suddenly, a violent wind howled, spreading intense heat. The temperature in the area shot up.At that moment, firelight flickered in both of Gideon's hands. The left one glowed bright red—it was the Earthcore Flame. The flame on the right shimmered eerie green—it was the netherflame.Then, he brought both hands together.The two heavenly flames began to fuse, though they resisted each other, violently clashing under the pressure. The moment the seal was lifted, the explosion would be unimaginable.But that wasn't enough.Gideon opened his mouth and breathed out streams of core power, merging into the flames. The nation's destiny surged into it as well.The buildup of energy already roared in the void.The seawater beneath Gideon's feet spl
"Proceed!" The word rippled through the skies.From Imperial Palace, it shot out, passed through the High Marshal Seal, and transmitted over Tyrant Sea—stirring it to a boil, shaking the whole place.A dragon's cry echoed through the void from the seal.Next, a mysterious force poured out from the seal, flooding into Gideon's body, lifting him as if to the summit in one step. A commanding, Supreme energy surged from within."This is bad!" Tristan's expression changed.At this moment, Chase had approved Gideon's request. Empowered, Gideon's strength skyrocketed as though he had instantly leapt to the supreme level."Damn it!" Tristan clenched his teeth.He didn't want to back down, but he had no choice. He had to avoid a head-on clash."Are you trying to run away?" Gideon sneered.Now, he was invincible. Tristan was just a weakling—a bug. There was nothing more to him."Tyrant Sea, rise." Gideon raised both arms. The seawater grew wild and furious, surging hundreds of yards int
The broken blade condensed the force of the blade itself."The great Marshal Snow is using a broken blade? How pathetic! My ghost blade was forged over three years, infused with countless rare materials. It's indestructible," Tristan boasted, laughing."If the man's weak, the weapon doesn't matter."Gideon's casual jab left Tristan speechless, his face flushed with shame."A smart aleck, I see. Die!"Just like that, a black blade arc came down.Gideon stayed calm, swung the broken blade, and a white arc of energy shot upward.The black and white blades clashed and shattered on impact.Tristan's next move followed immediately. "The eighth style of the 13 Ghost Blades! Nether's Pass!"The strike carried a chilling gale. The sound of wailing ghosts and howling spirits echoed.As it neared, Gideon noticed countless skulls swirling in the wind. They were only shadows, but enough to make one's scalp crawl. They were clawing and snarling, like demons escaping from hell."Those are p
"Bitch!" The three men were furious and humiliated.As Nethercult guardians, being injured by a woman was unthinkable!"Nethervoid Hands."They moved together, and an intimidating hand seal came crashing down.Noel was just about to step in when suddenly, Elara stepped forward, facing the incoming attack head-on without a trace of fear. Pure essence energy erupted from her, causing the surface of the sea to freeze."Ice Soul Palm." A cold gleam flashed in Elara's eyes as she slammed her palm forward, clashing with the hand seal in a massive explosion.The three guardians were sent flying.Elara also coughed up blood and was knocked back into the floating palace."Elara!" Jessica panicked and rushed in, helping Elara up."I'm fine." Elara then wiped the blood from her lips and closed the palace gates.Her physique was strong, but her cultivation level wasn't high enough. If it got serious, she couldn't match the three guardians.Still, that brief clash had been her first rea
Gideon and Tristan clashed fists and were blown backward.Gideon's whole body went numb. He thought to himself, "Anyone who's remotely close to the word 'supreme' is no joke."Tristan, meanwhile, was shaken to his core. The moment their fists met, a massive force surged through his arm.If he hadn't reacted in time to deflect the impact, his body would've taken serious damage. Even so, his right arm was almost completely numb now.His long sleeves covered it so no one could see the trembling."No wonder it's called the Solar Titan Physique. It's one of the top-tier physiques. Now I see why.""That was nothing. Watch out, Mr. Neblanc. I'm about to turn it up." Gideon laughed loudly, battle intent soaring.He launched a full-on attack.It was not a secret technique. Instead, it was just pure close-quarters combat.That put Tristan in a tough spot. Just one exchange had already left him at a disadvantage. If they kept going toe-to-toe, there was a real risk he would get injured an
