Suddenly, green-skinned men burst from the bushes and tall grass, charging across the riverbank with savage cries as they swung their weapons."Shit! We're under attack!" Victor shouted.His instincts screamed.He rolled away just as a spear slammed into the spot where he had been lying moments earlier, the impact blasting dirt and shattered stones into the air.Had he reacted a heartbeat slower, the spear would have pierced straight through his skull.Victor sprang to his feet.Energy erupted from his body in a violent wave, forcing back the green-skinned warrior charging at him. Without wasting a single moment, he shot forward instead of retreating.Qi surged around his sword as Dharma spells condensed beside him.The glowing projectiles streaked through the air one after another.Several green-skinned warriors were blasted backward, explosions ripping open their flesh.Yet, to Victor's horror, the torn flesh writhed and crawled back together before sealing itself almost instantly.

"Yes." Ouyang nodded."Do you perhaps know anything about it?"The green-skinned man chewed thoughtfully on a piece of meat before nodding."I think I actually do. The place you're talking about is probably the Ruins of Alchemy. It's not far from here."Their eyes immediately lit up."You know the place? Can you give us directions?" they asked eagerly."Yeah. Follow the road on the left and keep going straight. Eventually, the path ends at a river. You'll have to cross it to reach the Ruins of Alchemy. The problem is, there's a barrier preventing anyone from getting close to the waters near the ruins. We can only view it from a distance or from a boat.""A barrier?" Tibeth frowned, his brows knitting together."At least we have a lead. We can worry about the barrier when we get there," Victor said."Thank you for the information, friends," Ouyang said. "We'll be on our way now."He rose to his feet, and the others followed."Wait. It's already getting late. Aren't you tired after figh

“Is it even safe?” Warren asked, frowning.“Yes, it's perfectly safe. We take this route all the time. Come on.” He beckoned them forward before walking straight toward the narrow opening.The others exchanged uncertain glances, silently debating whether they should follow him.Ozzai suddenly stepped forward and trailed behind him.Seeing him move, the others quickly followed. They filed through the narrow opening in the mountain, venturing deeper into its depths.The place was dark and gloomy, but that posed no problem for them. Everyone released their energy, bathing the entire passage in a soft glow.They followed the green-skinned man for nearly twenty minutes. By then, Ozzai's uneasiness had only grown stronger.“Are we not there yet? Are we ever going to reach it?” he asked.“Yes, rest assured, sir. We're almost there. Soon, you'll leave this place and enter a whole new open world... where you're going to serve as a meal!”His words reassured them at first.Then the last few wor

"Are we still following the direction they gave us?" Nina asked."Yes. I have a feeling they didn't lie about it," Samuel replied."I don't know... Not after they suddenly attacked us." Nina shrugged."Yes, you have a valid reason to be worried. But my instincts strongly believe it's the right direction. You know how accurate they can be sometimes."Nina nodded. "You're right."They continued walking in silence."I really hope we don't run into any more of those green-skinned humans anytime soon. They're incredibly strong, especially that Mathavios," Nina said."Yes," Samuel agreed."For someone without any energy, Mathavios is unbelievably powerful. If there are more towns like that one, it'll be disastrous if the others wander inside. Ozzai might be dead before we ever find him," Samuel said.Nina's brows furrowed."I don't want that to happen. He has to die by my hands!""He'll still die if they get to him first," Samuel said with a shrug."It's not the same! It won't be revenge if

Samuel charged straight at Mathavios, Soulrender in his right hand.Mathavios' massive belly quivered.The next instant, hundreds of thick vines burst from beneath his robe, tearing through rooftops as they shot toward Samuel from every direction.Samuel's gaze remained calm.Four slashes of the heavenly consortium!First slash!His sword traced a simple horizontal arc.The foremost wave of vines was severed instantly.Second slash!A second arc followed before the first had even faded.The remaining vines exploded into countless pieces.Mathavios narrowed his eyes.The broken vines suddenly wriggled. Tiny roots burst from every fragment, rapidly growing into new vines.Samuel had already expected it.Void lightning strike!Heavenly lightning descended.Several bolts struck directly among the villagers charging behind Mathavios. Rooftops erupted. Bodies were blasted into the air before crashing through nearby buildings. The smell of burnt vegetation filled the air.Yet Samuel's attent

Victor looked at the green-skinned man whose skin was nearly identical in color to the Green Beast's. Could they trust them?He didn't know. But right now, he couldn't afford to hesitate over trust. Without wasting another second, he thrust out his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning.One of the green-skinned men was already keeping the enormous creature occupied. The lightning slammed into its head with a deafening crack, electricity dancing wildly across its body. Its movements locked up for a brief instant, creating the perfect opening.Tibeth seized the opportunity without hesitation. Roaring, he swung his axe with both hands, bringing it crashing into the creature's forehead with tremendous force. The impact echoed through the forest, staggering the monster backward.The green-skinned men fought with remarkable coordination. Thick ropes were fastened to their spears, and whenever one pierced deep into the creature's flesh, they yanked the weapon back with brutal force. The hoo
