2026-02-02 16:58:01Alex walked toward the base at a fast pace, knowing that if he wasted time, the person on his back would have less chance of survival.
Ryan, who was following Alex, kept pace while also observing their surroundings to avoid a surprise attack by any monsters.
It took them over ten minutes to reach the medical camp. After Alex put down the sergeant, he turned to the person who had followed him.
“You should get checked as well. If there are any issues, it could cause problems for you later.”Ryan heard Alex’s words and stretched out his hand.
“I’m Ryan White. What’s your name?”Alex shook his hand.
“Alex.”Ryan noticed the name on Alex’s uniform patch.
“Thank you for saving me.”Alex shook his head.
“No need to thank me,it’s my duty. If I’d reached you earlier, more of your unit might have been saved.”Ryan shook his head in response.
“You might have misunderstood. I’m not from the army but I’m a martial arts university student. My friends are in different groups. I was near the battle because she was facing four monsters at once.”Hearing this, Alex was surprised, but he knew he didn’t have time to stay and talk.
“It’s fine. I have to go. You should stay in the medical camp.”Ryan watched Alex walking away and called out,
“I’ll find you after the war stops.”Alex nodded without turning back and marched out.
Instead of returning to the battlefield, Alex headed to the information desk where soldiers were to report any news about the enemy.
“Hello, Sergeant. I have information about the enemy.”
The person at the information desk was not an ordinary soldier but a sergeant, which showed how seriously the army treated vital intelligence.
“A soldier from the logistics department? Okay, explain.”Alex knew logistics soldiers weren’t expected to gather information, as their work usually kept them near the base.
“Sergeant, I just saved an injured sergeant on the battlefield. On the way back, she was mumbling about a ‘High Bloodline Demon.’ I thought it might be sensitive information, so I came straight from the medical base.”Hearing “High Bloodline Demon,” the sergeant immediately stood up.
“Okay, soldier, your job is done here. Return to your duties.”Alex saluted.
“Yes, Sergeant.”As he turned to leave, the sergeant added,
“And don’t speak about the High Bloodline Demon to anyone.”Alex turned back.
“Yes, Sergeant.”Without hesitation, Alex left the base and marched toward his assigned position.
Meanwhile, the sergeant left the information desk and entered an office where a female officer was seated.
“Mina, can you take the front desk? I need to inform the general about something.”Without waiting for a reply, he hurried out.
The sergeant approached General Walter’s office and knocked.
“Come in.”
General Walter’s voice sounded from inside.
The sergeant entered to find General Walter and Lieutenant Matilda watching a live feed from the core area of the battlefield.
Before he could speak, General Walter asked,
“Sergeant Yan, do you have any information?”Sergeant Yan looked at the general.
“Sir, a soldier from the logistics department reported that while rescuing an injured soldier, she was mumbling about a ‘High Bloodline Demon.’”As soon as the words were spoken, both the general and the lieutenant seemed to freeze.
“Where is the injured soldier now?”
“General, she’s still unconscious. It may take a few days for her to regain consciousness.”Hearing this, Walter felt uneasy. He knew exactly what “Demon” implied.
“What about the person who saved her?”Sergeant Yan pulled out his phone to check the details.
“The soldier who saved her is named Alex.”Hearing the name, even Matilda looked surprised.
Walter fixed his eyes on Sergeant Yan.
“Where did he find her? I need every detail.”While General Walter reviewed the details, Alex was already back on the battlefield, moving through his assigned area.
“I’ve saved a few people, but the death toll here is still tragic.”
Alex looked down at a dead soldier.
“I should have gotten here faster. Maybe he could have survived.”His gaze shifted to the core area, where 4th-rank warriors and above were fighting.
“Damn it, where are those 6th-rank and above-mentioned elders? Can’t they prevent this slaughter?”Alex looked at a soldier who appeared to be his own age.
“Rest in peace, brother. I hope your next life brings you peace.”He began searching for soldiers who were at a disadvantage in the battle, all the while continuing to collect attributes.
[Picked up 10 points of strength.]
[Picked up 20 points of strength.][Picked up 10 points of speed.]Alex wasn’t focused on the attribute panel,he was concentrating on finding every possible way to save more people.
Just as he was about to scan another direction, he saw a female soldier about to be trapped by two monsters.
Alex increased his speed, rushing toward her as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, Lucy faced two 3rd-level monsters that were attacking relentlessly, giving her no chance to catch her breath.
“My teacher was right about the battlefield. We shouldn’t have taken these monsters lightly. The ones at the university were captive but these monsters on the battlefield aren’t.”As she searched for a weakness, she sensed another presence and turned to see a third 3rd-level monster approaching.
Distracted, she felt a sharp pain as claws raked across her side. She tried to counterattack but felt her energy draining rapidly.
“Am I going to die?”Just then, she saw a soldier appear in front of her. Seeing only one person, she doubted he could help.
“I should support him, or neither of us will make it.”But before she could move, she saw an astonishing display of sword technique.
“He’s reached an intermediate level with the sword.”She watched as he severed both legs of one monster.
At the same time.
Alex, fighting two 3rd-level monsters, knew he couldn’t reveal his full strength without raising suspicion. He avoided direct confrontations, letting his sword moves flow rhythmically.
When a monkey-like monster charged at him in a rage, Alex saw an opening.
“Now’s my chance.”Without hesitation, he darted forward. As the monster closed in, Alex dropped low and swung his sword at its legs.
His blade cut through the monster’s legs, but he didn’t stop. He pivoted and swung at the second monster approaching from behind.
Before the second monster could react, Alex’s sword pierced its chest. He pulled the blade free and swung again, aiming for its neck.
With a swift motion, he beheaded the monster. Then he turned to the first monster, now struggling without its legs, and finished it off.
[Picked up 800 points of strength.]
[Picked up 100 points of speed.][Picked up 920 points of strength.][Picked up 135 points of speed.][Picked up fragments of fire talent.]Alex glanced at the fire talent notification, recalling that his fire talent was already complete.
“Does talent evolve further if I collect more fragments?”He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice.
“Sir, thank you for saving me.”Alex turned to see the young woman. From her manner of speaking, he guessed she was from a university as well though he didn’t know which one.
“It’s my duty to help.” He assessed her condition. “You should return to base. You’re in no shape to stay here. If you remain, you’re risking your life.”Lucy still looked at him with gratitude.
“Sir, thank you so much.”Alex shook his head, then a thought struck him.
“Why are students operating alone? Shouldn’t you all be placed in the same area, supervised by designated soldiers?”

Voice
Alex felt a chill run down his spine. A prophecy. Someone had known that he would come here and had known that he would face these five creatures and emerge victorious. But who? And why?"Whose voice was it?" he asked, his grey eyes narrowing.But the monsters didn't answer. They didn't know. They had never seen the being who had spoken to them, had never been able to trace the source of the prophecy. It had simply appeared in their minds, a whisper in the darkness, and then vanished.“ The universe will,” Alex thought. It must be the Universe will. Or perhaps the other being who is the original breeder of these monsters in the hundred worlds.”He shook his head. The answer would come in time. For now, he had a decision to make."Looks like I have to visit the oracle," he murmured. "She was asking for me to visit her anyway. Let's see if she has a solution for your problem."He looked at the five Immortal Kings, his grey eyes meeting each of their burning gazes in turn. "For now, I'll
Aftermath
Alex stood in the center of the chasm, surrounded by the frozen forms of the five peak Immortal Kings. His chest heaved with exertion, each breath pulling the thick, corrupted air into his lungs. His sword still blazed with residual fire law, the golden light casting long shadows across the blackened stone. The battle had taken more out of him than he had expected; these creatures were far stronger than the Illusion Immortal King had been, and their resistance to spatial manipulation had forced him to draw on reserves he hadn't touched since returning from the trial.“But I won,” he thought, a tired smile crossing his weathered face. “I captured five peak Immortal Kings without killing a single one and using only law. That's... impressive, even for me.”He looked at the frozen monsters, his grey eyes thoughtful. Each one was a masterpiece of corrupted evolution, massive, armored, radiating power that would have made lesser cultivators flee in terror. But now they hung motionless in
Five Kings
Five figures stood in a rough circle at the center of the dimension, their massive forms silhouetted against a backdrop of pulsing dark energy. Each one radiated the unmistakable aura of a peak Immortal King, their corrupted power pressing against Alex's senses like a physical weight. They were monsters twisted by centuries of exposure to the dark energy that saturated this dimension but their eyes held a glimmer of something that Alex hadn't expected to see.‘Intelligence.’“Five peak Immortal Kings,” Alex thought, his hand moving instinctively to his sword. “In the entire hundred worlds, there are barely three hundred beings at this level. And here, in a hidden pocket dimension, there are five. Five. All of them monsters. All of them are corrupted.”He studied them carefully, assessing their strength, their positions, and their likely attack patterns. The monsters were massive, each one easily thirty feet tall, their bodies covered in armored scales that gleamed with dark energy.
The Roar
The death of the Illusion Immortal King sent a shockwave through the pocket dimension.Alex felt it the moment the creature's body collapsed into nothingness, a surge of released energy that expanded outward in a perfect sphere, invisible but unmistakable. The energy washed over the corrupted landscape like a wave, rippling across the blackened ground and through the blood-red sky. The air itself seemed to shudder, as if the dimension was struggling to contain the force of an Immortal King's passing.Then, silence felt all over the pocket dimension And then, chaos.The weak monsters, the Law realm beasts and Domain realm creatures that had survived Alex's slaughter scattered in every direction. They fled into the shadows, into the cracks in the blackened earth, into whatever hiding places they could find. Their corrupted instincts, honed by millennia of survival in this hostile environment, recognized the energy release for what it was: the death of something far more powerful than
Death
The slaughter began immediately.Alex moved through the pocket dimension like a force of nature, his sword blazing with fire law as he cut through the monster horde with brutal efficiency. Law realm beasts fell in droves, their corrupted bodies dissolving into ash under the heat of his blade. Domain realm creatures scattered and fled, but Alex's space law trapped them, folding reality around them and crushing them into nothingness. Immortal-level predators tried to fight back, their claws and fangs seeking his flesh, but Alex's spatial perception let him anticipate every attack and counter with lethal precision.[Picked up 15,000 Attribute Points.][Picked up 22,000 Attribute Points.][Picked up 18,000 Attribute Points.]The system notifications flickered through his consciousness, but Alex barely noticed them. His focus was on the hunt, the rhythm of strike and retreat, the flow of combat, the satisfaction of cleansing corruption from the world. The monsters were weak compared to t
Immortal King breeding
The problem with searching for pocket dimensions was that Alex now had a prisoner to manage.The Illusion Immortal King hung in the air behind him, wrapped in layers of spatial energy like a cocoon of folded reality. Its body was frozen, its consciousness bound, its aura suppressed to a faint flicker that barely registered on Alex's senses. But there was still a constant weight on his space law, a constant drain on his immortal energy. He couldn't maintain the spatial lock indefinitely. It required continuous concentration, a subtle but persistent effort that gnawed at the edges of his focus like a rat in the walls.“I need to find a pocket dimension,” he thought, moving through the wilderness with the frozen body trailing behind him. The landscape was grim and desolate, a wasteland of blackened stone and twisted trees that clawed at the sky like dying hands. The sky above was a sickly yellow, lit by a sun that seemed too large and too close, casting long, distorted shadows across th
