The harsh static noise from the street loudspeakers rasped through the dark air, making Mia jump in surprise. Inside the small holding box, Chloe covered her ears, shivering on the hard floor tiles.

Jax stood behind his clean glass door, his eyes locked onto the metal speaker mounted on the high utility pole outside.

The creepy voice on the radio cleared its throat. The sound was rough, heavy, and filled with cold, absolute authority.

"Attention all survivors in the Red Fog District," the loud v

    The massive yellow fangs snapped shut with the terrifying force of a steel trap.CLANG!A blinding flash of golden light exploded in the narrow gap between the Hydra's upper jaw and Vance's pale face.Jax stood firmly planted in the mud, his left palm raised high. A thick, glowing circle of localized barrier energy hovered right over his bare hand, locking the giant beast's jaw in place. The razor-sharp teeth pressed hard against the golden shield, but they could not push forward even a single inch.Vance slumped backward onto his bottom, clutching his chest as he panted heavily. Cold sweat poured down his cheeks as he stared up at Jax's broad back. A man had just caught the crushing bite of a Rank-4 monster with his hand, saving his life without blinking an eye."Stay back," Jax said coolly, his voice as calm as a quiet lake.Jax pulled back his right fist, channeling a massive surge of system energy straight into his knuckles. The air around his right hand began to vibrate with inte

  • Chapter 53: Slaying the Swamp Hydra

    The giant three-headed beast stood forty feet high above the boiling black mud, its giant scaly body blocking the stone path leading to the ancient temple. The air grew burning hot as the middle head opened its wide jaws, pulling in a huge breath of toxic swamp air.HISSS!A thick stream of bright green acid shot out from the middle head like a heavy river wave. The burning liquid slammed into a line of ancient stone pillars along the path, melting the solid rock into bubbling grey liquid in less than two seconds.Vance screamed in pure horror, falling onto his hands and knees in the soft mud. He scrambled backward like a panicked crab, trying to hide his body behind a dead black tree."We are dead!" Vance shrieked, his teeth chattering so hard his jaw ached. "That is a Rank-4 mutated beast! No surface human can survive a direct splash of that acid!"Jax did not retreat a single step. His dark eyes remained calm and cold as he pulled a small glass bottle from his leather belt. The bot

  • Chapter 52: Into the Toxic Mire

    The thick wooden cell door creaked loudly as Jax slid the heavy iron bolt back. Vance tumbled out onto his knees, gasping for air and wiping sweat from his forehead. His sleek silver pilot suit was stained with dirt, but his eyes burned with a desperate need to survive."Get up," Jax said, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion. "You play any tricks in that swamp, and I will leave your bones in the mud.""I swear, Boss Jax! No tricks!" Vance cried out, scrambling to his feet and bowing his head low. "I just want to live! I know the secret path through the defense lines!"Mia handed Vance a basic iron collar that snapped around his neck with a sharp click. The collar glowed with a faint red light, linked directly to the store interface. If Vance moved more than ten meters away from Jax or tried to attack, the collar would instantly release a heavy electric shock to knock him flat.Jax draped his newly crafted dark blue poison cloak over his shoulders and stepped out through the front

  • Chapter 51: The Black Swamp Expedition Prep

    The glowing system window flickered red and gold inside the command vehicle, casting long shadows across the metal walls.Jax looked down at his floating interface menu, watching the glowing red warning icon flash rhythmically.The high council of Elysium was already sending an elite shadow team to secure the fourth Primal Core Key. If those arrogant rulers obtained that final key, they would lock down the world energy grid forever.Jax closed the system screen with a calm wave of his hand."We do not have much time," Jax said, turning toward Mia and General Ironwood. "We need to prepare for the Black Swamp immediately before Elysium's recovery team reaches the site."General Ironwood stepped forward, his heavy silver armor clanking softly on the metal floor."Boss Jax," Ironwood said, his voice full of genuine concern. "The Black Swamp is five miles north of here. The air inside that place is packed with pure toxic fog that can melt leather boots in minutes. You cannot go in there al

  • Chapter 50: The Ancient Tablet's Secret

    The dim interior of the armored command vehicle grew deathly quiet.The heavy grey stone tablet sat resting on the ruined iron shelf, its carved golden crest of a winged sword wrapped in twin serpents glowing with a faint, mysterious warmth.Mia stepped forward, her dark eyes wide with shock as she stared at the glowing mark."Boss Jax," Mia whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "That is the exact symbol stamped on Commander Vance's armored suit. It belongs to the high council of Elysium. Why would a regional warlord like Lord Drake have an ancient secret tablet from the sky city?"Jax reached out his hand, his fingers lightly touching the smooth surface of the grey stone.The moment his skin touched the ancient carved lines, the tablet let out a soft humming sound. A bright beam of golden system light shot out from Jax's palm, scanning the strange markings across the surface.[System Interface: Translating Ancient High Council Tablet...][Translation Complete!]A large golden wind

  • Chapter 49: Total Capitulation

    The sharp tip of the obsidian blade pierced through the thick steel hood of the fast-moving car like a warm needle sliding through butter.BOOM!The blade sliced straight into the main engine block beneath. Bright purple sparks and black oil erupted violently from the metal, and the heavy limousine ground to a sudden, crushing halt. The rear tires squealed in vain against the dark pavement before the engine died completely.Inside the back seat, Patriarch Drake was thrown forward hard against the front leather seat. His expensive silk necktie was twisted, his silver hair was wild and messy, and his bruised face was covered in cold sweat.Before the driver could unlock his door to run away into the fog, Jax stepped off the smoking hood.He reached out his right hand, grabbing the thick handle of the bulletproof rear door. With one sudden, powerful tug, Jax ripped the reinforced steel door right off its heavy iron hinges with his bare hand, tossing the two-hundred-pound door onto the di
