"Scoundrel! Who are you? How dare you intrude upon the Blathanna Sect? Do you have a death wish?"Selina let out a furious roar as she raised her hands, ready to kill the intruder. "Selina, stop!" Nox called out to Selina. Murderous rage as cold as ice flashed in her eyes when she was told to stop. "Nox, this scoundrel dares to blatantly spy on us. Why should I not kill him?"He ignored her. Instead, he kept his eyes trained on the heavily injured Bryn as he asked, "If my guess is right, you must be the spy sent by Curseland Four, right?""W-What if I am?"Bryn knew he was definitely going to die, but there was not an ounce of fear in his eyes. "That means they know I'm going after them, yes?" Nox shot back. "That's right. From the moment you exterminated the Flames, we were united in alliance. Even if I die here today, Curseland Four will not have mercy on you!" Bryn viciously spat through gritted teeth. "You fool! Death is knocking, and you still have the nerve to boa
Meanwhile, at the Mullers' territory in Grave Mountains…After the Flames' demise, the Mullers, the Vines, and the Greens had forged an unbreakable alliance. Furthermore, the heads and elders of these clans were now taking refuge in the Mullers' territory. They were determined to kill Nox, seeking vengeance for the Flames and the Curseland Demons.The atmosphere was heavy with tension in the large and spooky Mullers Hall. The elders of the three clans, along with the respective clan heads, filled the hall. At the very center sat the Mullers' clan head, flanked by the Vines' clan head and Grandma Cobra from the Greens. At Grandma Cobra's feet was a giant python, its venomous fangs bared."Cobra, it's been two days now. How come we haven't heard back from your men?" Vince asked, who was covered in runes and clad in animal hides."I also have no idea what's taking those two morons so long to report back!" Grandma Cobra shot back in a shrill voice."Do you think that outsider br
"Bryn, tell me, what did that brat say before letting you go?" Grandma Cobra asked all of a sudden.Bryn, who was kneeling on the floor, replied, "H-He also mentioned presenting a gift to everyone."Everyone was puzzled as to what the gift could be.However, as soon as these words left Bryn's mouth, he let out a sharp and agonizing scream.At the sight of this, the clan heads and elders all turned pale and rose to their feet immediately.A lotus mark appeared in Bryn's eyes; the next moment, his whole body burst into golden flames. These flames appeared out of nowhere, burning him inch by inch from the inside out. Despite him rolling on the floor and wailing desperately, the flames remained inextinguishable. It was as if these flames were not ordinary fire but divine fire itself.In the end, amid his piercing screams, his body was burned to nothing, leaving no trace of bone or ashes behind.Seeing a living person burned to nothing as if he had never existed, the other clan hea
Seeing the sudden smirk on Nox's lips, Selina, who was sitting beside him, could not help but ask, "Nox, what are you smirking at?""Nothing. Just squashed an ant a moment ago," he replied casually. To him, Brady's death was as insignificant as squashing an ant, so he did not need to explain further.The car continued its journey toward Grave Mountains in the southwest.Grave Mountains had always been one of the main tourist destinations in the southwest. Thanks to its pristine forests and awe-inspiring scenery, it had long attracted tourists from afar for sightseeing and recreation.Indeed, along the way, Nox and Selina could see tour buses passing by one after another.According to Selina, of the Curseland Five, the Mullers, the Vines, the Greens, and the Pearsons all lived in Grave Mountains. Moreover, the whole Grave Mountains were under the control of these four clans.Just as their car was about to reach the entrance to the Grave Mountains, it ran into a traffic jam up ahea
Seeing Nox take to the air, all the strength left the man's legs. "H-He can fly? Is he a god?" he gasped.Selina smiled as she also took to the air, fluttering toward the other end of the broken bridge. The man couldn't believe what he was seeing. He quickly went down on his knees and put his hands in a prayer. "Gods. They're gods…"The other tourists were in disbelief at the scene of Nox and Selina flying across the bridge. They called them gods, taking pictures while they could. Alas, it was too late. Nox and Selina had disappeared.The Grave Mountains spanned the whole of the southwest's borders. The remaining Curseland Four clans were not the only natives; beasts and bugs were roaming about. Some even claimed archaic humans still lived here, but no one had ever caught sight of them.Nox and Selina were flickering through the forest, charging into Grave Mountains."We're almost at their turf!" Selina was behind Nox.Nox kept his eyes forward. "Good. I might let them live if th
The guards noticed Nox and Selina the second they flickered closer toward the stockade. The sight of them flying through the air struck panic into their hearts. "Dammit, who are those people?" the guards gasped in unison.Nox and Selina landed, and the former looked at the Mullers' guards coolly. The one in the lead was a burly Top Greater Combatant. He was evidently a dual axe wielder. His muscles rippled like waves as his eyes firmly locked on the Nox and Selina, who had just shown up.The man was quickly followed by a dozen Greater Combatants and a hundred or so Combatants. In normal society, the combat power they brought to the table could rival a small army. That was mainly because Combatants could easily take on 10 enemies by themselves.Now, there were a hundred of them. That wasn't even counting the Greater Combatants within their ranks. Even so, these people were nothing but weaklings before Nox."Who are you? How dare you trespass upon our territory?" The burly man with a
The guards had no choice. Their enemy was too powerful for them. Still, they were part of the Mullers and outnumbered Nox a hundred to one.An elderly Greater Combatant, unable to handle such humiliation, gnashed his teeth. "That man is nothing, lads!" he roared. "We can do this together! Kill him! Charge!"The old man ran at Nox, holding his weapon up high. The other Muller guards pounced. Just then, another voice bellowed, "You dare touch Mr. Greenshade, you maggots? Die!"White satin darted ahead like a viper. Selina joined the fray. She was the Sect Master of Blathanna Sect, Faeast's Top Demoness, and ranked top ten in the Heavenly Ranking.Before the Muller vanguard could even get close to Nox, the white cloth smacked them dead. Soon, several Muller guards took their fallen brethren's place as Selina flew into the sky. Two stretches of white cloth wove themselves into a web and mercilessly slammed against the Muller guards.Screams pierced through the air as two dozen Muller
Selina was mercilessly eliminating her enemies at the Mullers' stockade's entrance. Her weapons stretched and danced around, taking the lives of the Muller guards by droves. Bodies were starting to pile up everywhere, and the road was coated in crimson.Eventually, the elders showed up. Nox sneered. "Finally."When the elders witnessed the gruesome deaths of the Muller guards, they roared, "You dare kill the Mullers? Die!"The Muller elders charged ahead. Two made hand seals, and black energy, thick as arms, took the shape of vipers and charged at Selina. The other elder tossed three black talismans ahead.Although she was faced with three Zen Realm sorcerers, she merely snorted at their paltry retaliation. She swiftly extended her right hand as a fust of green magick appeared on her palm. Then, she swung her hand, causing a gigantic palm, as green as leaves, to crash onto the elders' attacks.An explosion rocked the air. Selina's palm attack sent the elders flying. It also caused
