Othniel said, "That has to do with the forbidden grounds of the Highland Tribe. But this matter must be explained by Chief Weiser because I don't have the authority to speak on it."Tobiah let out a long sigh and said, "From the moment Knox was born, he possessed divine strength. If we used the outside world's terms, he was already at the martial god level."Andrew, Juno, and Nyx were all stunned.None of them had expected Knox to be that extraordinary, born as a martial god. Even Andrew felt that this was something he himself could not compare to.Tobiah gave a bitter smile and said, "But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Knox seemed blessed by the heavens, and at the time, I believed our tribe's golden age had arrived. I thought Knox was the rebirth of a true titan who would lead our people to success."But in the end, I was wrong. Knox remained the same from birth to adulthood, with no noticeable changes. All the anticipation and excitement slowly turned into disappointme

Tobiah sighed heavily. "What else could happen? Arguments, deeper conflicts, and more fighting. The two of them, once the closest of friends, comrades who fought side by side in rebellion, eventually turned their blades on each other. "Fenrir demanded that Arcturus lead the Highland Tribe to join him in conquering and ruling the world, but Arcturus thought he was being foolish and refused. Fenrir hung around our tribe for a while but got nothing out of it. Eventually, he lost control and attacked Arcturus."But at that point, Fenrir was incredibly weak from the curse, and his body had mutated. He was neither man nor monster, so how could he possibly match our ancestor? Fenrir was being beaten down, and in his furious roars of refusal to accept defeat, the full moon rose that night, and he transformed. He became a 26-foot-tall progenitor werewolf and easily leveled our homes."He continued, "Arcturus couldn't bear to hurt him and kept trying to talk him down. But Fenrir had lost his

Inside the valley lay the Highland Tribe's fertile farmland. However, beyond the valley was an entirely different scene. A narrow path, just wide enough for one person, wound down from the towering canyon into unknown territory below. The passage was deep and dark, requiring torches to navigate safely. Ordinary Highland Tribe members were not allowed to visit the forbidden ground.This time, the group consisted of Andrew and the four outsiders, along with Othniel and the Highland Tribe's patrol commander.That commander happened to be Othniel's son, the giant man Andrew had slapped earlier.Finally, there was Tobiah, Knox's elderly father, carried by two burly warriors. This small group traveled in secret toward the forbidden ground, and no one spoke. The dark passage ran along the cliff wall of the massive canyon, winding endlessly forward.Nyx said in surprise, "This was all carved out inch by inch… What a massive undertaking by the Highland Tribe." Knox explained, "This se

Blood mixed with scorching heat as it sprayed outward, brutal yet awe-inspiring.Fenrir let out an earth-shaking howl of agony. At his chest, Arcturus' fist had already driven straight through, dealing catastrophic damage to his heart.At the brink of death, Fenrir spread his arms and suddenly pulled Arcturus into a crushing embrace. Then, he lowered his head, and his savage fangs sank deep into Arcturus' neck.The golden light in Arcturus' eyes, once blazing, froze in an instant. After that, it slowly dimmed until all divine radiance vanished completely.At the same time, Fenrir's arms loosened bit by bit.In the end, both figures collapsed in a twisted posture, their lives extinguished together. What remained were countless corpses and a shattered, ruined battlefield.This land had once held the Highland Tribe's beloved mountains, fields, and quiet valleys. It had also been home to the werewolves' dark, ancient castles, all of which were destroyed by the flames of war.Andrew

Andrew did not see that the blood he had coughed up was not dripping to the ground, but rather gradually seeping into the interior of Arcturus' statue.Suddenly, Arcturus' statue trembled slightly, and the hand that was thrust into Fenrir's heart turned bright red.This change immediately provoked a reaction from Fenrir's statue. Even more dark aura surged forth with increasing violence, cascading down like a waterfall to engulf Andrew.However, that red glow that had appeared was even more domineering. It instantly transformed into thin streaks of red lightning, flowing out from Arcturus' hand. Then, it rapidly spread across Fenrir's entire body, crackling and hissing as the dark aura froze momentarily before being rapidly dissolved.Andrew's pained expression was eased.But at this moment, another crisis emerged. The black vortex in the sky had nearly pressed down to ground level. From within it, the phantom of a massive wolf's head suddenly emerged, incredibly ferocious and vic
