The mist thickened as Jeremy and Noctis ventured deeper into the alien forest. They knew something lurked nearby, hidden among the towering trunks and glowing foliage. Then, the forest stirred, and the first of the beings emerged—creaking giants of bark and leaves, humanoid in shape but utterly inhuman.
These beings were immense, towering like ancient trees come to life. Their faces were rough-hewn, like carved wood, and their eyes glowed a fierce yellow, devoid of warmth or mercy. As more of them emerged from the shadows, Jeremy counted at least seventy surrounding them in a silent, menacing formation.Noctis cracked his knuckles, his usual grin creeping onto his face. "What took you so long to show up?" he taunted, spinning his dagger between his fingers. "I’ve been itching for a fight."Jeremy’s sharp gaze moved over the assembled beings. They didn’t seem like much of a challenge—not to him, at least. He had anticipated stronger resistance, but this was

The voice carried a thick, otherworldly quality, echoing from every direction, yet from nowhere at once. It felt like the air itself had come alive, and with each word, the oppressive pressure mounted.Kade’s heart pounded in his chest as he and his crew slowly turned, their senses alert and attuned to the palpable threat looming behind them. There, before their disbelieving eyes, stood a figure draped in a light blue robe, a black sash neatly tied around its waist. Its body was composed entirely of water, solidified yet fluid, shifting with every movement. The being’s face was unnervingly smooth, like a frozen wave, and its limbs rippled with the power of the sea."You’ve killed my student," the creature said in a cold, reverberating voice that echoed through the air. "But unlike you filthy scum, he will resurrect—though it will take a thousand years." It paused, cocking its head slightly as though deep in thought. "However, do I look like one who is patient enough to wait?"Kade’s e
Ascendant Among All Chapter 140 (Ice Empire)
The desolate, dry expanse of the plane stretched endlessly before Jeremy and Noctis, a vast desert devoid of life, essence, or warmth. The landscape seemed to offer nothing but silence and a sense of foreboding emptiness. It was a place of dead air, a land that seemed long forgotten."Jeremy, I think we invaded this plane too soon," Noctis muttered, his voice low and cautious as his eyes scanned the horizon. "If beings like Salma are the weakest here, we’re in deep trouble."Jeremy, always composed, shot him a sideways glance. "It’s too late to retreat," he said firmly. "And I made this easier for you by assigning you to a separate group. You didn’t need to confront anyone. The heavy lifting was reserved for me, but instead, you decided to follow."Noctis shrugged, his lips quirking into a half-smile. "It’s like I’m stronger when I follow your path," he admitted. "After all, I reached the realm of the gods thanks to you."Jeremy waved off the comp
Ascendant Among All Chapter 141 (The Man in White)
Ripples of power tore through the frozen air as Jeremy clashed once more with the Ice God. Each of their strikes sent shockwaves across the ground, cracking the thick sheets of ice underfoot. Sparks flew where their weapons met, igniting tiny flashes that glowed against the eerie, wintry landscape. The Ice God wielded his staff with a steady, almost leisurely rhythm, his face revealing no trace of strain. Jeremy, however, was gritting his teeth, each swing costing him more energy than the last.From a distance, Noctis watched with a mix of admiration and dread. The Ice God’s terrifying aura settled over the scene like a dense fog, suffocating in its intensity. Even the guards—inhuman creatures sculpted from pure ice—stood motionless, their chilling blue eyes locked on the fierce contest. To them, it was almost ceremonial, a brutal performance of power.Jeremy gripped his katana harder, feeling his muscles straining as the battle pressed on. He could sense

The man in white chuckled softly, a sound that seemed almost out of place, light yet tinged with an unspoken menace. "Ah, the spirit of a true warrior. Colwill would be proud," he said, his voice barely above a whisper, yet every word struck Jeremy like a blade, cutting deep into the doubts he’d been holding back.Without another word, the man in white raised his hand, a faint glow igniting in his palm. The air grew heavy, thick with a tension that sent a shiver down Jeremy’s spine. He felt a sudden surge of energy, not his own, pressing down on him like an invisible hand, threatening to crush him where he stood."Very well, then," he murmured, a faint trace of respect in his voice. "Let’s see how far the son of Colwill has come."As the man in white gave a slight nod, a faint gleam of anticipation flashed in his gaze. He looked to the Ice God and uttered calmly, "Resume the battle."The Ice God responded instantly, moving with an otherworldly speed that belied his size. He bore down
