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
The one who spoke was a Muller clan elder. His curse energy was almost palpable as slivers of evil energy swirled around him due to his indignation. He was holding a black bell while a bone bracelet was draped around his left wrist. His gaze, filled with darkness, was trained on Nox."So what if I am?" said Nox plainly."The arrogance! Do you think you can trash our place just by yourself? The Curseland Five have been in the southwest for centuries! You cannot shake us, lad!" he roared, turning his gaze to Selina. "And you, Hendrickson! Just because your sect has found purchase in the southwest doesn't mean you can challenge us! We can easily crush your sect within a day as long as we band together!"Selina burst into raucous laughter. "I'd like to see you try!" Then, a powerful energy swam forth from within her.Before she could get into battle, Nox said sternly, "Stand down, Selina. I'll squash these insects myself."Selina nodded and retreated obediently. Nox stepped forth. "
They could only hear the ringing of explosions as blinding flashes of light slammed into the elders. A moment ago, the sorcerers were attacking Nox ruthlessly. Alas, their momentum didn't last as they exploded like pinatas, showering the land with blood and gore."I-Is he even human?""He killed six elders with a single blow?"The clans' people and elders were terrified. Nox's one-sided blow struck unbridled fear into their heart. Even the Muller clan elder's face had contorted with fear and rage."No. This can't be! Calm down, everyone! There are hundreds of us against one of him! Get into formation!" the Muller clan elder roared. He bit his fingertip. Soon, a drop of blood oozed out of the wound. Then, he quickly drew three runes in the air and slammed his hands together."Phantom Procession! Go forth!" Gusts of curse energy shot up into the skies as the sorcerers quickly got into formation.More pillars of curse energy shot into the air, causing the skies to be dyed black. Sho
The Muller clan elder spat two mouthfuls of blood and made more hand seals. "Phantom Procession, arise!"The sorcerers followed his lead and chorused, "Arise!"The skulls had been destroyed just a moment ago. However, they had gathered once more, turning into an armored skeleton more than 30 feet tall. It was even holding a gigantic, blazing axe. It looked so monstrous that the earth seemed to shake from its presence.Another sneer curled Nox's lips. "This is interesting. You managed to summon an image of Cursegod using your blood? Well, it doesn't matter. I don't care, even if this is the real deal. You've all signed your death warrant."The golden light around Nox slowly disappeared. Instead, thunder roared from every direction.'What's that? Thunder?'The elders and their clansmen instinctively turned their eyes to the sky. Something cracked as a bolt of purple lightning tore through the shadowy darkness above. A moment later, countless bolts appeared, overwhelming the darknes
