Author's point of view... Far away from the Dragon Land, in a remote and mysterious cave hidden within the depths of a shadowy forest, the air of tension hung heavy. A man in a black robe hurried inside. He stumbled several times as if desperate to report something unbelievable or urgent. "Your Highness..." he shouted in his tracks. "Your Highness, something bad happened...!" "Your Highness...!!" That dark cave was not just a simple cave, as the man entered, the magical crystals on every corner were lit up. The cave was illuminated with a strong light, casting an ethereal light across the chamber. The light reflected throughout the cave revealing a golden throne in the heart of it. A woman of regal stature sat on the throne carelessly, with her eyes closed and legs resting on the footboard. She opened her eyes but her demeanor was still so calm. Wearing a long purple and black gown, her gaze fixed on a shimmering glass ball resting on her thigh. Her fingers were dancing
Author's point of view... As the Octopus's red crystal was taken care of, the Red Sea was now back to normal. It was peaceful to travel. The red octopus helped Aryan, Peterson and Chuchu to reach the shore of the Dragon Land. As the ship was destroyed, they had to use a wooden plank to sell on the ocean surface. However, the moment they tried to step on the land they felt as if that land jerked. "What's wrong?" Aryan asked confusingly. He thought if there was another monster or something else that was stopping him from entering that land. Peterson had no idea about all this, actually, nobody had an idea about that. "It's a restriction seal" a grunting voice echoed in the surroundings. They all turned around to see who was talking. The red octopus popped up its head and added. "It's the strongest seal." "Oh..." Aryan understood what just happened. He swirled his hand to summon the blue flames to deal with the seal but that octopus added. "Master...don't do that." "Wh
Author's point of view... The weaker one perishes and the stronger one prevails. It is the common rule in the world of cultivation. According to the ancient books that Chuchu's grandma had made her learn, the tree demon clan is the weakest in the entire universe. Though it is generally common to use a stronger identity before strangers, it was not a good idea in this mysterious land and so Chuchu asked Aryan to use the weakest clan's name. The people that entered the cottage were all mysterious, both Aryan and Chuchu had a bad feeling about them. Especially the older one, he had been stealing glances at Aryan every now and then. As the middle-aged man looked at Aryan and his composure, he recalled the news that had been circulating about the Beast Race, and his face paled. These men were here for a mission. They had first believed that they could cautiously creep into the location they intended to go to avoid the possibility of encountering these dangerous beasts. After s
Author's point of view... The loud scream from outside didn't go unnoticed and even Chuchu and Peterson were jolted. However, Aryan stayed calm. "Did something happen?" Chuchu looked concerned about the weak woman just now. Those men were like the predators after all. Aryan slowly raised his head and looked at the door as if he didn't even care about the commotion outside. Heaving a sigh, he said in a low voice, "The game has begun..." Webber was startled and rushed over to open the door. Mary came running with her hair scattered and her dress all wet and stained. "Mary, what's going on? Where are they?" Mary's face was full of fear as she screamed and rushed towards Webber. But just as she was about to reach the wooden house, she fell to the ground with a thump. Webber didn't see his brothers. He had a bad feeling about this. He rushed forward and grabbed Mary's wrist, pulling her up from the ground. "Mary, where are my brothers?" he restlessly asked again. Ma
Author's point of view... When Chuchu and Peterson absorbed the life essence of the huge fifth-level beast race, a strong light engulfed their bodies and they were instantly transformed into their human forms. Aryan smiled. "Now I feel I have companions," he said happily. The man inside the cottage was shivering, so shocked to even blink his eyes. His mind was too numb to understand what he had just seen. Aryan turned around to see if the demon behind him was alive or dead and found Alibo gaping at him like a living corpse. "Agh...! He looks as if he was about to die" Aryan scoffed and gestured his friends to leave. "Let's just leave him alone" he said walking away. Alibo instantly smacked himself out of the daze and followed Aryan. "Young Hero please wait..." Aryan paused in his tracks and turned around. "Do you want to fight too?" Aryan asked playfully. He was fully aware that Alibo was so scared that he was about to pee on his pants. There was no way he would try
Author's point of view... Aryan stood in the middle and those panthers surrounded him. "So you are the human that entered the dragon land..." one of those panther sneered, he looked somewhat different from the others. Perhaps he was the herd leader of those panthers. Aryan felt it weird. Did someone sent them to attack him? It didn't look like a common attack. Aryan didn't pay any attention to the sneer but all his concentration was on the two black marks on the forehead of thier leader. It must be on the sixth level of cultivation. "Master they are really so strong... Be careful..." Alibo's heart was burning with anxiety. At this situation, running away was the best choice for them all, but his new master would never give up. Not in this life. Looking at the lurking danger, he could only stomp his foot. Even if he was injured, he would still rush forward to help his master. But just as he was about to step forward, he was stunned. A blue glow shrouded Aryan's
Author's point of view... The monstrous creature lunged forward with a deafening roar, its claws slashing through the air. Aryan immediately summoned his ancient sword. the monster didn't even let him get prepared and launched an attact. Aryan barely managed to dodge, feeling the rush of wind as the beast's talons narrowly missed him. He steadied himself, gripping his sword tightly, and prepared to strike back. "Stay back!" Aryan shouted to his companions, who had drawn their weapons. "You can't fight it. Just stay away. This beast is mine to handle!" he commanded as he lunged forward. With a fierce determination, Aryan charged at the monster, his blade glinting in the dim light of the cave. The creature met him head-on, and the clash of steel against scales echoed through the cavern. Aryan's strikes were powerful and precise, but the beast was relentless, countering every blow with its own brutal attacks. The battle raged on, and Aryan felt his strength waning. He co
Author's point of view... Everything was coated in a thick layer of black ash as the smoke gradually disappeared. It required many moments to fully perceive through it. Chuchu mindlessly raced toward Aryan. Tears began to well up in her eyes as her heart ached. She cursed a hundred times to herself for not paying attention to his commands earlier. Aryan would never have ended up like this if they had just followed his orders. But they didn't. "It's all my fault..." she cried desperately on her way. When the dust settled, Chuchu found Aryan lying on the ground without any movement. At first, she believed him to be dead, and her heart fell at the sight but upon closer inspection, she noticed that he was sniffing. She gasped, letting out the air, she had been holding in her lungs for a long time. "Aryan...!" she curled her arms across him and hugged him so tightly, "I thought I lost you forever...Aryan" she cried. "It's good that you know..." Aryan mumbled something in
