Nova crashed into the mountain's summit, sending several boulders flying. She convulsed as she became drenched in blood. Her shockingly severe wounds increased in numbers. Still, Sylvia and Remy did not pay attention to her injuries. The moment Nova was struck by Shadowblade and sent flying, Sylvia and Remy flanked him from the side. Their swords flashed with a cold brilliance as they attempted to close in on him. Simultaneously, Lacey, Nicholas, Helen, and Strider drew their swords to attack. Yet, they had no solid strategy against him."You meddlesome and weak humans. I could kill you with just a third of my powers." Shadowblade—the one known as the Destroyer and the Creator—-dismissed the attacks of the group with disdain. With a roar, a dark aura suddenly surged around him. The aura erupted, instantly sending Remy and the others who charged at him flying backward and falling to the ground.They coughed up blood, the severe trauma to their bodies leaving them incapable of de
Everyone else unleashed all their remaining powers too. Their forces combined, bearing down on Shadowblade with an astounding might."Wh-What?!" The color in Shadowblade's face drained. He had not expected these vermin to muster such strength, but he had no time to contemplate further. The massive force was coming at him like a tidal wave."Y-You're all dead!" Shadowblade roared, channeling his true essence throughout his body, forming a protective barrier with even greater power.Boom! When the group's assault met Shadowblade's shield, a violent explosion followed. The backlash sent them flying, but their combined force continued to hammer against the shield. Finally, with a resounding crash, their formidable power shattered the barrier, and the forces nullified each other."Now's my chance!" Helen shouted from midair as the shield broke. She took aim and fired.A bullet, glowing with fiery light, sped toward Shadowblade’s eye. "What?!" At the sound of the gunshot, Shadowbl
Nova was slammed against a few rocks, and blood gushed out from her gruesome wounds. Nobody knew whether Helen was still alive after tumbling off the cliff, while Remy's ribs were broken and he sported a crushed leg. Strider and Nicholas struggled to stand, their battered bodies barely holding up. Lacey and Sylvia gripped each other’s hands as they retreated."Is that all you can do?" Shadowblade mocked as he released his foot from Remy's thigh.Strider and Nicholas wanted to continue fighting, but they were nearing their limits and could barely stand.A crisis was underway, and everyone in Navia's cities was dazed as they watched everything through their screens. The mightiest people in the whole world seemed to have fallen before Shadowblade's powers. As Shadowblade raised his sword again, it felt like he could annihilate the whole world with just one more strike."Is it really over for us?" The people were despaired, believing the end was upon them. They saw how Nova continued
"We still have a chance!""We haven't lost yet! Hahaha!" The citizens laughed with excitement as they watched the man who joined Wyvern Peak at eighteen and eliminated the Eight Hollows appear before them. After eighteen years, Jerome had reached his middle ages and finally appeared after years of disappearance."War Legate Dominus!""Sir Dominus!"People worldwide shouted out, raising their fists and chanting his name.Inside the headquarters of Novemton, Samantha, Gloria, and others stood before the screens. When they saw Jerome appear, they covered their mouths in shock, tears streaming down their faces."Adrian was right, Jerome is someone we can rely on. He's someone who will stand with us no matter what happens," Samantha said.“We may be able to turn this around now that he's here. This isn't over yet!" Gloria added.***Jerome slowly approached the peak of Mount Regent. Remy, Strider, and the rest looked up to the sky as Shadowblade turned around.Jerome, dressed
Everyone was stunned as they stared at the scene unfolding before them. Shadowblade looked down at himself. Jerome’s sword had impaled him, and he was completely unprepared for such an outcome. "Y-You..." Shadowblade's face was a picture of disbelief. "Impossible! How could a mere mortal like you harm me?!""Are you still trying to kid yourself? What makes you think you're an immortal? In my eyes, you're nothing more than an ant from your world who did not belong there. To bolster your existence, you came here and tried to rule over us. Well, I'm here to tell you that's not going to happen!"When he was done speaking, Jerome struck with his palm. His attack roared with the might of a dragon, sending Shadowblade flying.Shadowblade screamed as Jerome sent him through the air and slammed him into the ground."Amazing... Jerome actually managed to injure him." "What has he been through these past years?" Sylvia was in shock.The others also exhaled deeply. Strider said, "Let'
"Ugh!" Shadowblade screamed in agony as Jerome's strike caused blood to gush out of his nose."So you do bleed. That means you're mortal." Jerome smirked coldly as he watched the blood drip down Shadowblade’s chin."I'm going to kill you, you pest!"Jerome's relentless assault had enraged Shadowblade. With an eruption of power, Shadowblade punched and shattered Jerome's shoulder.Crack!Jerome's left shoulder fractured, and his body shook from the impact. Despite the excruciating pain, he countered with a fierce punch to Shadowblade's face.Crack!One of Shadowblade's teeth was sent flying.Jerome sneered. "As someone who claims to be a ruler, your ability to boast and toot your horn seems to be more powerful than your ability to rule. You're finished if that's all you can do.""What did you say? You must have a death wish!" Shadowblade roared as countless flying swords materialized around him and headed toward Jerome.Leaping through the air, Jerome managed to dodge the assa
"This is the end of the line for you. We've been battling for quite some time. You’re running on steam now, aren't you?""I have bad news for you. I've only used thirty percent of my powers," Shadowblade said with a sinister smile on his face as he watched Jerome, who was struggling to stand up straight. In truth, the past three hours were nothing more than a game to Shadowblade. If he wanted, he only needed to exert a bit more effort and all of humanity would be obliterated. However, he preferred to watch others in despair, just like how his bullies loved to watch his desperation back in his own world. He too wanted to savor the feeling of being a powerful ruler. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.Jerome raised his sword, tired but showing no sign of fear. "Wipe that smirk off your face and say those words only after you've killed me," he said indifferently.Shadowblade laughed coldly. "My time here is almost up, which means the game is about to end. I'll send yo
Bang, bang, bang!Flashes caused by blades flickered as explosions from the battle against Shadowblade continued. It was evident that he was no longer as threatening as he was when he first arrived after battling non-stop. Although they still could not inflict significant harm, at the very least, their attacks caused him pain, which was all they needed to deplete his energy."Die, you vermin!" Shadowblade yelled and threw his hands apart at the fearless soldiers, sending Nova and the others flying."Argh!" Shadowblade screamed, advancing at Strider and Nicholas. Jerome sprang forth, his long sword harshly sweeping across Shadowblade’s neck. Shadowblade, clearly not anticipating this, was forced to retreat several steps but was still grazed.Jerome did not stop there and quickly swung his fist at Shadowblade."I've had it with you!" Shadowblade roared and twisted Jerome's fist after grabbing it.Crack!Jerome’s arm was dislocated.Nova charged in again, with Remy, Sylvia, an
