In remembrance! In remembrance! Lord Nox, the God of War, succumbed to the siege by the Ten Nations and perished in the treacherous Ocean of Death. The battleground witnessed not only the staining of azure waters but also a sea adorned with lifeless forms, as Lord Nox, with unmatched prowess, faced and conquered the formidable lions of the Ten Nations.Contrary to popular belief attributing Lord Nox's demise to the collective might of the Ten Nations, the truth unfolds that the one responsible for extinguishing his life was none other than the woman who held the deepest place in his heart.In the passage of time, Nox Greenshade stood atop the towering peaks, gazing upon the vast expanse below filled with ivory remains. With determination etched on his face, he proclaimed, "The debt owed shall be repaid in blood!"
View MoreNox's comrades looked crestfallen, especially Bear. His eyes went red, and he cried. "When will I see you again, milord?""Soon." Nox smiled.The consolation only made Bear cry more. Even Keith teared up. He said nothing and went down on his knees. Everyone else followed his example.Draco approached Nox. He lamented, "Very well, milord. If that is what you want. My army awaits your return. And once you do, we'll charge straight into Imperia and slaughter the Mousses."Nox looked at Draco and clapped his shoulder. And then, everyone was dismissed. Farewells were always sad, especially for these men. Nox was not just a god among men, but he was also their brother.Unbeknownst to him, Nox was reluctant to see them go as well. They were his comrades. His brothers. His family.Alas, Nox must look at the big picture. He couldn't ask them to stay with him while Faeast was slowly destabilized. This nation was his homeland, the place he called home.Dragoncourt fell into silence after t
Nox scanned all his comrades. "To the great hall. I have something to say.""Yes, milord."Everyone followed Nox into the great hall, and Nox took the main seat. His comrades took the seats beside him. Once everyone sat down, Nox announced, "This will be a big announcement.""Your orders, milord?" everyone asked.Nox looked at everyone once more. "You are to return to your posts. All of you. Effective immediately."The announcement stunned everyone.Bear blurted, "You want us to leave?"Everyone looked at Nox in confusion."Yes." Nox nodded. "All of you. Leave Dragoncourt. Leave this city.""What? Why? We've not avenged the lady, and we can't leave without seeing the wedding," Keith asked."The wedding's on hold for now. And you're leaving because you're not needed here anymore," said Nox."Milord! We cannot leave. Even if we set the lady's case aside, we still have to stay with you." Draco stood firm."Wrong," said Nox. "I'm just a civilian. I don't need you hanging around
At the central command center, Imperia.The Phoenix Chamber also housed Aphrodite's bedroom. She was in the main hall, dressed in crimson, her eyes closed. Behind her was Michael, the stony sabreur.A silhouette quickly came in. "Milord, the Demons have news." It was Houston.Aphrodite slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with venom. "Speak."Houston went down on his knees. "They have completed their mission. Sanders is infected with a thousand-corpse worm, the deadliest cursebug Curseland has. There is no known cure, and the victim doesn't die immediately. They will rot from within and waste away."Aphrodite laughed menacingly. "Good." She stared into the distance, her eyes filled with cruelty. "You must be in pain now, Nox. Though you're invincible, though you're a lord, but so what? You failed to protect your woman. You are impotent."She cackled. "It's not over. I'll make her suffer the worst this world has to offer. You'll rue the day you promised to marry her."…Two d
A long time after that, Nox said, "Let them in."Keith turned around. "The lord calls for you two.""Yes, thank you." George led Yvette into the room.Nox was still standing before Queenie's bed. Thanks to Nox's blood and Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual's energy, Queenie had regained some color, though still unconscious.The sight of their daughter unconscious made George and Yvette scream."Queenie, what happened?" George approached Queenie, shouting. Yvette followed him.There was no answer from Queenie, however.Scared, George turned to Nox. "What… what happened, Nox? What happened to her?" he asked with a trembling voice."Thousand-corpse worm. She won't be waking so soon," answered Nox honestly."What? Is that a poison or something?" George sobbed. "How'd this happen? Who did this? Who's the bastard?"Yvette was in tears as well. She held Queenie, shouting, "Queenie, wake up! It's me! I'm here. Wake up!"Nox consoled, "It's alright, you two. I promise I'll cure her.""You?
The sight of the guns almost made Yvette fall. She had no idea what was going on, but George did. These people were Nox's men."Hi, I'm looking for Nox. He's my daughter's husband. And this is Queenie's mother," introduced George.The Shadow Division members had no idea who they were. The burly man said shrilly, "I don't care who you are! Leave or die!"Things got awkward, but suddenly, a voice said, "A moment."Jebediah emerged from the crowd.George recognized him. He worked with Nox. Quickly, he ran up to Jebediah. "Master White, I'm Queenie's father. Please, I want to see her. And Nox."Jebediah knew George as well. He nodded. "The lord is inside. Go in.""Thank you!" George and Yvette ran up to the estate as fast as they could.Yvette was flabbergasted. She tugged on the hem of George's shirt, looking back at the crowd. "George, who are those people? They're armed," she asked tremulously.Without looking back, George answered, "They work for Nox.""They what?" Yvette gas
If he did, the Kirin Firepoison would burn through his innards. Nox wasn't scared of death, but who would save Queenie if he perished? He had to live.Nox took a deep breath, holding down the pain. He channeled his inner energy throughout his body, and golden energy flowed from within. A long, long time later, he finally held down the poison, and his chest returned to normal.He was drenched in sweat by the time he brought it under control, black blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. However, he didn't care. If he wanted to cure Queenie's poison, he must regain all his strength. The first part of that was to cure himself of Kirin Firepoison.As long as the poison was there, he wouldn't be able to focus on healing Queenie. Nox balled his fists at the thought of this.…While Nox was curing Queenie, a black BMW was zooming across the street, making its way to Dragoncourt."If it's a joke, it's not funny, Yvette. What happened to Queenie? What kind of stuff did you guys run i
The room was quiet. Queenie was the shade of clouds and still unconscious. Nox approached the bed and held her icy hands. His eyes teared up.Less than a day ago, she was calling him and chirping about the wedding, but now she was a victim of a thousand-corpse worm. Nox wouldn't stand for this, not when they were about to get married."Queenie," Nox called out to her, his voice tremulous, his hand clasped tightly over hers.As if she could sense Nox, Queenie's eyelashes fluttered, and a teardrop streamed down her cheek.Nox's heart was torn to pieces. "Queenie, it's alright. I'll cure you, even if it's the last thing I do. I promise."Suddenly, Nox extended his arm, and he swung a finger. A bloody gash appeared on Nox's arm, and blood trickled from the wound. Nox wanted to use his blood to cure Queenie.That was the avenue Nox mentioned earlier. He would infuse Queenie with his own blood. Only a Legend Realm's blood could cleanse Queenie of her poison. Nox was the strongest fight
His eyes red, Bear roared, "I don't care what happens to the nation! I want to avenge the lady! I'll kill the bastards who hurt her!"Draco stepped forth. "Enough, fatso!" he yelled. "We follow the lord's orders!""Draco, you're a coward! They attacked the lady! Aren't you even mad about it? Where did the guy who killed Snowground's army alone go?" Bear protested.Draco wouldn't take that lying down. He darted over and grabbed Bear's collar. "Did you just call me a coward? I have half the mind to shoot you where you stand right now!""Then do it! I dare you!"Bear and Draco were going to fight, but Nox icily growled, "Enough!"Like a royal decree, Bear and Draco fell silent. Nox glared at the two of them. "I know you're trying to help, but as long as I'm alive, I am the lord. I cannot neglect the people. And I alone am enough for this."Nox declared, "I faced the ten nations before. Do you think Curseland scares me?"His friends said nothing. Nox was right. He fought the ten na
Keith remained in somber kneeling, refusing to move. He cursed himself for his failure. He was furious at himself for his failure. He thought it was his fault Queenie got hurt. Therefore, he must kneel and await Nox's punishment.No matter how much Draco, Tristan, and everyone else said, Keith refused to stand up. A long while later, the door creaked open."Milord!" everyone greeted.Keith looked at Nox, his eyes red. Nox was looking at him, too. "What are you doing? Stand up.""No. I failed the lady. Your punishment, milord," said Keith in agony."This is not your fault. Stand up," Nox repeated.Keith was stubborn as a mule, refusing to stand up. Bear and Bard quickly pulled him up. "The lord's orders. It's not your fault, so stand up."Keith was pulled up in the end.Draco quickly asked, "How's the lady looking?"Everyone turned to Nox with looks of concern."Not too good," said Nox in a somber manner.Everyone's hearts skipped a beat."Not even you can save her, milord?"
