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
Jaxson emerged, his gaze sweeping sternly across his surroundings. "Let's go in.” He sighed.All traces of bloodstains in the hall had been meticulously removed. Aside from the knife marks, it was hard to believe a fierce battle had occurred there.Zector descended the stairs slowly. Spotting Jaxson, he offered a polite smile and said, "Jaxson, Mr. Adrian is waiting for you upstairs."Taking a deep breath, Jaxson asked, "Zector, are Daim and his soldiers still alive?"Zector nodded toward a nearby Dark Knight and replied, "We left them alive, but many succumbed to their injuries."The Dark Knight approached a curtain and yanked it aside.Swish!Jaxson turned his head and gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine. Even his two personal guards beside him were visibly horrified, their eyes fixed accusingly on Zector.Behind the curtain lay a heap of hundreds of unconscious soldiers, blood dripping and pooling on the floor."If they hadn't been misled, they'd be dead by now. You
Jaxson stood there impatiently, knowing Adrian was trying to assert authority. But he chose not to protest and remained quiet. When Adrian finally spoke, Jaxson felt relieved and sat down. The guards behind him frowned as they moved to stand behind Jaxson."Do you know why I summoned you here, Jaxson?" Adrian asked calmly."Your subordinate, Daim, mobilized troops without permission and attacked Flying Dragon Manor. What should be done about this?" Adrian's gaze was cold as he focused on Jaxson.Zector dragged Daim out from behind the couch and threw him onto the floor. Daim was still unconscious, so Zector grabbed a cup and smashed it on Daim’s head. The cup shattered loudly into pieces."Ouch! Who hit me?!" Daim shouted, sitting up abruptly. He looked disheveled, with tea and blood on his enraged face."Where am I?" Daim stood up angrily, confused until he noticed Zector smirking with arms crossed, and Adrian sitting calmly on the couch."You… You massacred the Hydes! As Silver
