My personal holiday is officially over. I’ve had my rest, so it’s time to get back to work. Updates resume from here, and we’re not slowing down.

Before we enter the next arc, I want to hear from you guys. After everything we’ve seen from Ares and Drax, who do you think is the stronger Warlord? Ares has had his moments, but Drax just survived hell in Null City, defeated Ragnar, completed his mission, saved Charlotte and the other girls, reached X-level, and earned the title Battle Warlord. So, judging by everything they’ve accomplished in their respective arcs, who takes the crown: Ares or Drax?

And what about Desmond? Do you think he deserves his own novel? If I wrote a full story centered around him, would you read it? 👀 I genuinely want to hear your thoughts.

Finally, the next arc is The Final War.

Jaden Rift has been absent for far too long. It’s time for the King of War to return properly. And also more of Selena, Mia and their unborn child.

So tell me: Ares or Drax? Does Desmond deserve his own novel? And most importantly, are you ready for The Final War?

  • The Phantom Blade 11

    Level XXX. The words echoed inside Ronan’s head. For decades, Level XX had been considered the absolute pinnacle of military strength. Reaching that rank was already regarded as an almost impossible achievement, something only a handful of exceptional individuals could ever hope to accomplish. Then Jaden Rift shattered that limit, becoming the first soldier in history to reach Level XXX. It was a rank that supposedly defied human biology and every known scientific principle. Even the world’s most advanced military institutions had struggled to explain how a human being could attain such extraordinary physical capabilities. Yet Jaden had done it, earning the title of King of War. And now Victor Halberg was claiming to stand at that same level. Ronan stared at the man before him. If Victor truly possessed the strength of a Level XXX combatant, then the difference between them was enormous. Even at his peak, Ronan would have struggled to defeat someone of that calibre. In his current

  • The Phantom Blade 10

    Victor slowly straightened, looking at Ronan with amusement.“I can see the surprise on your face.”He raised both arms and brought his palms together.“There’s a saying, isn’t there? Never reveal your next move to your enemy.”CLAP!The moment his hands collided, a violent burst of compressed air erupted around him. The shockwave swept across the road, tearing through the surrounding dust and sending nearby debris flying.Ronan barely had time to brace himself before the force struck him.BOOOOM!His body was hurled backwards like a projectile. He crashed into a large tree beside the road, snapping its trunk with the impact. The tree cracked violently before collapsing, sending branches and splinters scattering across the ground.Ronan dropped onto the asphalt, coughing as pain spread through his back. He tried to push himself up, but a sharp jolt from his spine forced him back down. His breathing grew heavier as he struggled to regain control of his body.Victor approached at a leis

  • The Phantom Blade 9

    A faint twitch came from Victor’s motionless body.Ronan, who had been preparing to turn towards the remaining operatives, immediately stopped. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the man lying in a pool of blood.Another twitch.Then Victor’s severed fingers began moving.“What…?”Before Ronan could react, something extraordinary happened. The flesh around Victor’s severed limbs began to writhe and expand. Muscle fibers rapidly formed beneath the exposed skin, followed by blood vessels, bones and nerves. His arms and legs began growing back at an alarming rate, the newly reconstructed limbs taking shape within seconds.The sight left everyone frozen.Ronan’s eyes widened as he watched Victor’s body reconstruct itself. Even the Black Covenant operatives, who had spent years serving the man, stared in disbelief. Some stumbled backwards, while others stood with their mouths hanging open. One soldier dropped his rifle and fell onto his backside, unable to take his eyes off the impossi

  • The Phantom Blade 8

    Victor watched them enter the forest before turning his attention back to Ronan. The swordsman was still holding Kurotsuki, but his condition was deteriorating. His hearing had been overwhelmed, his balance was compromised, and even his eyesight seemed unreliable.“Give it up, Ronan!” Victor called out. “You can barely stand, yet you still think you can fight? You’re surrounded, outnumbered and practically blind. What exactly do you hope to accomplish?”Ronan slowly raised his head.A faint smile appeared on his bloodstained face.“You outnumber me, but you don’t outlast me.”He adjusted his grip on Kurotsuki, forcing his trembling fingers to tighten around the handle.“Every step you take towards them will cost you a dozen lives. So come and buy your ground.”The surrounding operatives exchanged uneasy glances. They had hundreds of men, automatic rifles and specialized equipment, yet none seemed eager to approach him. They had already witnessed what happened to the first group that u

  • The Phantom Blade 7

    Selena watched helplessly from inside the bulletproof vehicle as Ronan struggled against the sonic assault. Even with the windows sealed, the sound was deafening. She could only imagine how unbearable it must be for someone whose hearing was far more sensitive than an ordinary person’s.Ronan had protected them from the moment he arrived, cutting down dozens of armed men without hesitation. Yet now he was on his knees, bleeding from his ears, unable to stand. His katana lay several feet away, and Victor was approaching him as though the outcome had already been decided.Selena’s hands tightened around Mia.I can’t just sit here and watch him die trying to protect us, without doing anything.She looked towards the nearby forest. It was their only possible escape, but leaving the vehicle meant exposing herself and Mia to the armed men surrounding them. Still, remaining inside would only make them easier targets once Ronan was defeated.She opened the rear door, took Mia firmly by the ha

  • The Phantom Blade 6

    Victor burst into laughter at Ronan’s declaration. He had expected nothing less from the Phantom Blade, whose confidence and overwhelming pride were almost as famous as his swordsmanship.“As expected. Your ego is practically your identity.” His smile widened as he glanced at the hundreds of armed men surrounding them. “But tell me, how exactly do you intend to protect those two against this many opponents?”He slowly spread both arms.At his signal, the operatives raised their rifles, tightening their formation around Ronan’s vehicle. Every weapon was trained on the swordsman, while several others remained positioned to prevent anyone from escaping. Selena pulled Mia closer in the back seat, watching the situation unfold with growing dread.Ronan didn’t even glance at the soldiers. He simply raised Kurotsuki and pointed its blade at Victor.“With this.”Victor’s eyes settled on the unusually long katana. A flicker of recognition crossed his face before his smile returned.“Oh, Kurots

I’m so loving this book

I enjoyed this book, but it’s time it came to an end soon! I really like Drax, he has a strong spirit! You could always write a sequel with Drax training Desmond to fight and have other characters from this book show up now and then!

I like both Warlords, Are & Drax and wouldn’t put either one above the other. They both faced the dangers that came to them and completed their missions. I definitely think Desmond did great and I would read your novel about him. If it is not too long and constantly repeating the same descriptions

Desmond deserves its own novel for sure, He should pick up his mom and sister and take em all back with them. And drax without question come on. final battle yea!!! And yet , I'd hate to see the book in , but understand why it would have to....

And as Jaden said, Ragnar is the strongest they’ve faced up till now. But more opponents will come

We don’t know if Ragnar is dead or not

Desmond is a character worth exploring, but I don’t know if he needs his own book. Drax is more appealing to me than Ares. Is Ragnar actually dead? Is he the worse Black Covenant has to offer? Is the Final War going to be the end of the book or close to the end? I do think it is time to end it

What about the other five warlords and now that Drax is an x status he should help Jaden Riff more or train Desmond to be the next warlord with Ares s help.

very much ready for the final war; eagerly waiting for updates

What happened I thought your vacation how many vacations are you taking

pls update

update pls

I don't think one warlord rises above the other as they each carry their own strengths. I'd hate to see the group split up and would love to see Jaden and all the warlords continue together but with Desmond being the new trainee with all warlords invested in his training

always ready boss

I loved Ares' origin story but Drax is truly special to me, so I vote Commander Drax. I am completely in love with Desmond, absolutely he should have his own novel. As for the next arc...BRING IT ON!

I think Ares & Drax are both great warlords. They both delivered & accomplished their assignments. As far as Desmond, I think he doesn't really need a book of his own but continue to keep him included

Yes. They all need they own story told

Ares is stronger no doubt, but true strength is not measured in just muscle. Drax ability to activate and motivate others, such as Desmond or flip Emily back over to his side, multiple his strength. Desmond book could be interesting, but how could you tell it without necessarily retelling the story

Both warlords deserve honor. Desmond should be honored. I'm expecting full detail of Jaden Rift. You are doing great.

I can't hold myself to read final war.And I am looking forward to meet a new The God of war DESMOND

Absolutely love Drax!! Ares was great, but Drax had heart! I also loved Desmond such a sweet kid in such a hard world, his mom raised him right and he held his ground!! I'm hoping the King helps him along...hint, hint

I love this story, I think both warlords or amazing. There should be know competition! Yes please give Desmond his own book. Please keep him under Jaden and the warlords, and move his family to a safe environment. Can’t wait for the story to continue!

you are doing a good job dear, cant wait to contiue reading love to read every single book you write

Both Warlords Ares n Drax takes the crown.. they delivered their assignment perfectly well.. why on earth do you need to write a book on Desmond? Not like he is the main character.anyways General Jaden should flex his muscles asap.we need war.. nice novel by the way.. but pls don’t keep us waiting
