Armand finished securing the gauntlets onto his forearms with a satisfied expression. He flexed his fingers experimentally and noticed how they moved fluidly within the unique design of the gauntlets. It was clear that Roland had put a lot of thought into the creation of these specialized weapons.
"These are amazing, Wayland. I can feel the power!”
The man thrust both of his fists into the air, infusing his mana into the pair of weapons. The runes started to emit a crimson glow,...

The massive mass of tentacles coalesced into a grotesque form that resembled his old enemy, another version of a Cthulhu. He knew that this was just another manifestation of the corrupted energy within the Azure Palace. More than likely this was a monster that was created within the scenario to combat people with the system. It was unlikely that he would normally meet so many variations of these beings without it being manufactured by someone else.

"It's coming along nicely."
"That it is," Bernir agreed.
"Feeling a bit weak in the knees, boss?"
Roland hesitated for a moment before admitting
“I... yeah."
"No need to hide it,"
Bernir laughed while looking at Roland. Both of them shared a laugh as they stood outside the house, gazing at the new construction site. The foundation for the new dormitory was making good progress. It wouldn't be long before the structure was completed, and within a month or ...

“General Jin!”
“You don’t need to shout, I can see it…”
Zhang Jin's expression darkened as he witnessed the Goliath's colossal hand gripping one of their ships. Fortunately, it wasn't the one containing the spiritual energy destabilizer, but their armada was still sustaining damage. Thankfully, the people on board the affected ships managed to evacuate, thanks to teleportation technology on the other vessels and the arrival of an army of angelic puppets that reinforced...

“Ugh… this is disgusting… and that smell, what is this place? Are we in the belly of some sort of demonic beast?”
Zhang Liena exclaimed as she gazed at the pale gray walls and the muck on the ground. The group of nascent soul masters had successfully infiltrated the Azure Capital. They had discovered an entrance to an eerie underground cavern that initially appeared quite ordinary. However, as they pressed on in their quest to locate the city's inhabitants, the landscape began t...

Beyond the colossal gate lay a vast chamber, and at its center, a towering figure awaited. It was Long Qing, clad in dark robes, his face obscured by shadows. The chamber was bathed in a surreal, bluish glow, emanating from the massive crystalline structure that loomed behind Long Qing. This structure appeared to be the source of the sinister energy that had corrupted the Azure Palace.
"Long Dong."
Long Qing's voice echoed through the chamber, a sinister edge to his tone.

His focus wavered on this particular evening, burdened by impending events, leaving him uncertain about hot to approach them.

“What’s there to say? Show this abomination why we are called the strongest sect in the Empire!”
Zhang Jin shouted from the command center of the Golden Palace, his voice resolute. The Goliath, now fully awakened and fueled by dark energies, had started to advance toward the defensive line the elders had formed. It moved with a lumbering yet menacing grace, causing the ground to tremble with each step.

Zhang Dong's mind raced as he contemplated their options. The Goliath was nearly complete, and they were running out of time. It was clear that they needed someone inside the city to create the localized disruption in the energy field and release the trapped citizens. But who would undertake such a perilous mission?
There was a part of the protective formation still sticking out of the massive golem’s chest. When examining it, there was a possibility of forcing a small opening through...

The reconnaissance unit, upon receiving Zhang Dong's urgent command, swiftly began their ascent back to the safety of their airships. The tension aboard the vessels increased as they watched the small vessels maneuvering away from the stillness of the abandoned city.

‘So, there they go, but now what?’
Zhang Dong observed the changing scenery as the trapping formation had its energy source severed. The beasts that had once populated the area began dissolving into white smoke, and the skies gradually cleared. Before long, all that remained was empty grasslands, as if the previous place had never existed.
‘The phantom of the formation still feels tangible... It's as though it's merely shifted into another dimension.’

The Azure Emperor, a man of pride and ambition, could not afford to watch his forces diminish without retaliation. He understood that time was not on his side; the longer he waited, the weaker his position became. With a steely resolve, he made his choice.
