"How about we get out of the carriage and let these two women drive to distract that monster?" Ronnie suggested.Just as Ronnie finished speaking, Mervin heard a startled cry from behind. Mervin glanced back and spotted a figure engulfed in blue flames closing in rapidly. Upon closer inspection, it was the monster."How is it so fast?" Mervin exclaimed in terror.As a level eight warrior, Mervin's vision, judgment, and reaction speed were far superior. No matter how fast the vehicle was, he could handle it. Yet, the monster outpaced them, moving faster than sound.With a roar and a blast of heat, the monster was suddenly right in front of them.Mervin was taken aback. Before the carriage could stop completely, he kicked open the door and leaped out. Ronnie waited for the carriage to slow before following suit. Once clear, they sprinted toward a nearby rocky hill for cover.The two women left in the carriage were paralyzed with fear. Seeing the monster just a few hundred meters aw
"We’re so close to success! So close to leaving Dragoria and starting a new life in Falconia! How could this happen?!" Mervin cried.Ronnie, however, abruptly stood up and dashed back toward the carriage."It must be controlled by someone from Dragoria! Otherwise, it wouldn't be targeting us so precisely! We need to use those two women as hostages!" Ronnie declared urgently.His words struck Mervin like a lightning bolt, snapping him back to reality. He swiftly got to his feet and sprinted toward the carriage as well.Meanwhile, in a luxurious suite at Black Maple Hotel in Dolsor, Adrian lounged on a recliner on the balcony."They're astute. They've deduced the monster is under control. That means I can't let them live. Although my control over monsters will eventually be exposed, I can't afford it to happen so soon, not until I've stirred enough chaos in Novena," Adrian mused.Knowing the corpse injected with the Zero Toxin was the formidable Emalwolf, Adrian suspected Richie's
Mervin and Ronnie had relaxed and were now sitting on a large rock, observing the monster in the distance. Mervin glanced at Ronnie with admiration."Who would've thought our plan would work? It seems Dragoria is cautious of us after all!" Mervin chuckled."Absolutely! Even though our country isn't as strong as Dragoria, Falconia supports us. That makes Dragoria think twice before acting rashly. And don't forget, the Bruins have thousands of members," Ronnie replied, smiling.Mervin sighed softly. "It's unfortunate about Emawolf. Turning into a monster and falling into Dragoria's hands...""Don't worry. Dragoria can control monsters, but they can't create them like we can with Zero Toxin. Falconia and we hold that power. We can create as many monsters as we need in the future," Ronnie said with a wicked grin.Mervin nodded vigorously. "We must inform Richie about this immediately."Just as Mervin prepared to contact Richie, the monster suddenly moved again as if its controller ha
Soon, the flying swords landed in a nearby clearing, and two squads of heavily armed, armored soldiers disembarked. Despite being seasoned level eight warriors, Ronnie and Mervin had no intention of resisting. The presence of the giant wolf monster kept them in check, instilling fear that any reckless action could provoke it. They submitted quietly as the soldiers handcuffed them and led them away.As the flying swords prepared for takeoff, Mervin and Ronnie watched helplessly as the monster turned and headed back toward Dolsor."Damn it!" They clenched their fists in frustration and despair. They had urgent information to relay to Richie about the controlled monster, but now they were unable to do so.In a small village in Novena, Richie's voice resonated through the shack."Incompetent! Utterly incompetent fools!" Richie slammed his fist on the table, his voice booming, "Why didn't they have more flying swords prepared?!"Beside him, Kieron stood silently, his expression dark an
Despite his anxiety, Eden maintained confidence in their plan. While the monster refrained from causing chaos in Dolsor, it undoubtedly captured Dragoria's attention. He believed Dragoria must be preoccupied with managing the monster and wouldn't be closely monitoring them.Setting aside the scrying orb, Eden gazed out at the landscape. It was a dense jungle adorned with hills, rivers, and occasional bird calls."Huh?" Suddenly, Eden froze, spotting a large animal lying on a distant hilltop. Due to the distance and the thick tree cover, he couldn't discern the creature at first."What is it?" Wynone asked curiously.Eden pointed toward the distance and grabbed the binoculars. Peering through them, he let out a gasp of shock. The enormous creature atop the hill was unmistakably the wolf monster.At that moment, the monster ceased emitting flames. Its black-green fur nearly blended into the trees' branches and leaves, rendering it almost invisible."Isn't that the monster? How did
Unfortunately, they did not have time to ponder over this. Their thoughts were abruptly interrupted as sword lights filled the air, swiftly ending their lives.After completing his task here, Adrian prepared to leave because he had something more important to attend to. He sensed Earth's energy, which hadn't been felt in a long time, and knew he had to guide people from Earth to come here.*News of Adrian's return to Silverboa quickly spread throughout the city, stirring mixed reactions among the people. Some felt uneasy, while others remained indifferent, believing Adrian had lost some of his former power after five years.Meanwhile, inside the memorial hall of the Cross's mansion, Jayden, the head of the Crosses, stood motionless. He wore a white shirt, his eyes sunken and expression lifeless as he stared blankly at the memorial tablet.Suddenly, his servant entered hurriedly from outside and announced, "Sir, they're here! We can seek our revenge now!"Jayden snapped out of hi
The outside world recognized Adrian's past dominance in Silverboa, but these individuals underestimated his true power. He had managed to take command of Silverboa's underground forces in a remarkably short time. Those in the know understood that the city's underworld was merely a playground for him."Do you think you can avoid trouble if you don't provoke him?" Jayden's face flushed with anger, his voice carrying a hint of frustration. After all, the Crosses had been offering these people thirty percent of their annual income."What are you suggesting?"Jayden smirked coldly and replied, "You exploited his absence to seize his territory. Do you believe he'll let that slide? Unless, of course, you're willing to relinquish everything you've gained."Though reluctant to provoke Adrian, Jayden's words plunged the three men into deep thought. None were willing to surrender their newfound power and interests. They dreaded returning to lives where they were hunted like prey."Sixty perc
"Yes, sir!""Execute the operation!" Daim smirked coldly as he gave the command. The group of soldiers behind him surged into Flying Dragon Mansion.Inside the mansion, a flurry of combat ensued, but soon, the sounds of battle ceased.'You deserve this for wiping out the Hydes,' Daim thought with satisfaction.Suddenly, a figure descended from above, sending a shiver down Daim's spine."Take him down!" Daim shouted, but the figure moved with astonishing speed.The person swiftly disabled dozens of soldiers before standing before Daim and delivering a precise blow to the latter’s forehead, rendering him unconscious.With all immediate threats neutralized, Zector swiftly carried Daim into the mansion. Surveying the bodies scattered on the ground, he frowned and ordered cleanup crews to quickly clear the area.When Zector reached the second floor, carrying Daim, he bowed respectfully and reported, "They're from Silverboa."Adrian's expression darkened. "Where's Jaxson? Bring him
