Battle of the immortals Chapter 20: Burning Attack
As the festival of the goddess got closer, the whole city was full of excitement. It was an important time to honor the goddess of the moon, and they planned to build a huge statue for the celebration. This statue was so big that even ten skilled builders would have found it tough to finish quickly.The supervisor, a huge man with serious eyes and a booming voice, gave Royce the tools he needed. His large hands and deep lines on his forehead showed he had worked hard for many years and had little patience for mistakes. “You must finish this, Royce,” he said firmly. “Do it fast and without mistakes, or you will feel the whip.”A taskmaster, thin and quick with icy, sharp eyes, was put in charge of making sure Royce did everything perfectly. “Any mistake, and this,” he said as he cracked a whip in the air, “will remind you to do better.”Royce was scared but tried not to show it. He nodded and said, “I understand,” trying to keep his voice steady.The first job was to get the materials n
Battle of the immortals Chapter 21: The Invasion
As the flames burned the statue, Selena rose from her throne, her eyes burning with fury. "Guards, find out where that fire came from!" she commanded, her voice commanding.The guards sprang into action, rushing to investigate the source of the fire. As they investigated, what they saw made them afraid. Before them stood Grimnar's army, very, very much and large. It was as if Grimnar had summoned an entire army from nowhere to challenge Selena."By the gods," one of the foot soldiers gasped, his voice trembling with fear. "It's Grimnar's army. How did they get here?"“Lock the gates!”Selena commanded, the gate guards, wide-eyed, hurried to obey, pulling the heavy gates shut with a resounding clang.The chief commanding officer of Selena's army, named Commander Verek, immediately recognized the threat posed by Grimnar. He knew that Grimnar had come for revenge and possibly for Royce.“Secure the prisoner!” Commander Verek shouted to his men. “Take Royce and lock him up. We can't let Gri
Battle of the immortals Chapter 22: Deserved Punishment
Grimnar struggled to his feet, his eyes burning with anger. Selena moved towards him, standing over him with a sword in hand. "I've always waited for this moment," she said, her face speaking of victory in her eyes. "The feared and powerful Grimnar is right here at my feet," she laughed.Immediately, without any Delay, Selena raised the sword, aiming to strike Grimnar and end the confrontation once and for all. But Grimnar, despite his weakness. In a surprising display of strength, he swept Selena off her feet, sending her crashing to the ground.Grimnar unleashed a surge of dark energy from his dark blade, sending Selena crashing to the ground. She struggled to rise but couldn't. Her guards rushed to help, but Grimnar effortlessly kicked them aside, causing chaos in Selena's palace.After defeating the guards, Grimnar seized the sword from Selena's hand. "Your head will be a trophy in my land," he declared grimly. "Today, you will pay for your crimes."With a swift motion, he swung t
Battle of the immortals Chapter 23: Rising From Ashes
After it appeared that Royce and Grimnar had been burnt, Selene commanded that their bodies be thrown into the river. The soldiers quickly obeyed, lifting the bodies.As they approached the riverbank, the rushing water sounded loud against the quiet of the evening. One of the soldiers, breathing heavily from the effort, grunted to his companion, "Let's do this quick please."Together, they swung the bodies into the flowing river. The water splashed noisily, swallowing up Royce and Grimnar, carrying them away with its current.Aethon hurried to the river where he thought Royce and Grimnar were dead. The river was cold and moving fast. Aethon looked around and found Royce's body. He quickly pulled Royce out of the water but left Grimnar because he thought he was too far gone.Carrying Royce on his shoulder, Aethon returned to his hidden shelter deep in the forest. The shelter was dim and had lots of herbs and tools for healing.He laid Royce on a bed made of old blankets and started tre
Battle of the immortals Chapter 24: Fire Bath
Aethon grabbed Royce's hands tightly, insisting they needed to go somewhere. "Come on," he urged.Royce hesitated, folding his arms defensively. "Where to now? I've had enough of these adventures," he grumbled.Aethon sighed, realizing Royce's reluctance. "You don't get it. That fruit you ate? It's more than… just a fruit," he explained, his tone serious. "Five hundred years back, a priest named Alaric planted a special tree called the Tree of Souls. It was supposed to let people talk to their dead loved ones. But things went bad. Mortals started abusing it, calling in bad spirits and causing chaos. Alaric cursed the tree to stop the madness, making its fruit taste terrible. But you, Royce, found it sweet."Royce listened closely as Aethon went on, "The bug that got in your eye? It's called the Seti. When someone eats from the Tree of Souls, the Seti shows up, cleaning their eyes so they can see into the spirit world. That's why you saw me."Royce's eyes widened. "That explains a lot,
Battle of the immortals Chapter 25: A Visitor
"Master, you have a visitor," a demon said as he entered the room.Silence.Grimnar kept enjoying his bath in the big, green hot water tub. The water glowed green and steam filled the room, making it warm and foggy.Some guards stood around him, quietly fanning him with big, old-fashioned fans."Master, you aren't responding. I said—" the demon started, but Grimnar cut him off."Are you out of your mind?" Grimnar snapped."I heard you for the first time. I don't need visitors right now. I need some time to myself," Grimnar said as he sank deeper into the green water."But... but sire, it's urgent," the demon insisted, crossing his arms. He lowered his head and added, "It's a visitor from the East.""Tell them the great Grimnar doesn't accept visitors from the East," Grimnar commanded as he twisted around in the water."Alright, sire, I got your message," the demon said quickly and dashed out of the room respectfully. The room fell silent again.Breaking the silence, a tall and huge be
Battle of the immortals Chapter 26: Art of War
Aethon told Royce, "Now, it's time to learn how to fight."Royce stood up straight, looking like a soldier ready for battle.Aethon held Royce's hand firmly, his voice determined. "Come, there's somewhere important I need to take you to," he insisted."I can see you're already strong," Aethon observed, giving Royce's chest a firm pat.As they neared their destination, Royce's eyes widened at the sight of a building shaped like a giant sword. The sword radiated from the sunlight, with sharp edges pointing towards the sky.Royce, eager to proceed, rushed forward, but Aethon quickly stopped him."Hey, take it easy," Aethon cautioned, gently pulling Royce back towards him. "You can't just rush into this place."He continued, his tone serious, "There are fierce gatekeepers here. They wouldn't hesitate to behead you without a word." Aethon's voice dropped to a whisper.Royce's eyes shrunk as he looked at the building shaped like a sword. He wasn't scared, even though Aethon had mentioned th
Battle of the immortals Chapter 27: Fooled by the Gods
Zarvox approached Grimnar, who sat on his throne with a scowl on his face. "What about your second-in-command?" he inquired."That traitor," Grimnar spat out, his voice filled with anger. "He fled, calling me worthless," he growled, clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white."I'll hunt him down and crush him," Grimnar declared, his tone menacing as he spoke of revenge.Zarvox continued, offering his advice. "Grimnar, perhaps it's wise to consider your actions carefully before acting," he advised calmly, hoping to temper Grimnar's rage with reason.Grimnar glared at Zarvox, his anger clear. "You can't tell me what to do," he said sharply."Why do you respect the mountain god and the desert god so much?" Zarvox asked, settling into his seat with curiosity.Grimnar looked shocked. He didn't know how Zarvox knew about his connections to these gods."Surprised, huh?" Zarvox said, noticing Grimnar's startled look. He smiled slightly, amused by Grimnar's reaction.Stammer

Joe made his way back to the villa, his anger boiling over. He wanted to confront Lorenz and expose his wicked acts to the world.He entered the villa and stormed toward Lorenz's office, forcefully barging the door open. Lorenz was at his desk, working. Noticing Joe's rough entrance, he looked up, his eyes narrowing as Joe moved closer to his desk.Lorenz eyed Joe from head to toe, then finally spoke. "What is it? Haven't I paid you off?"Joe's voice shook with fury. "I have been loyal to you all these years, and all you could pay me back with is the dead bodies of my family. I swear, Lorenz, you will pay for this."Lorenz stood up and got in Joe's face. "How dare you call me by my name! You must be a bastard, son of a monster!"Joe's anger surged. "I promise you, Lorenz, you will regret this," he said, beating his chest in frustration.But Lorenz just laughed loudly, snubbing him and returning to his work. Joe's frustration peaked, and he clenched his fists, staring at Lorenz intentl
Chapter 61: Wickedness
Joe swam through the deep sea, but his life jacket gradually failed him. He saw a shore up ahead, but reaching it was now the problem. As he forced himself to swim, a shark came to his side. Panic surged through him, and he began to swim as fast as he could, the shark pursuing him relentlessly.With all his energy left, Joe spotted a boat passing by and managed to grab hold of it. The fishermen on board shouted in alarm, trying to shake him off."He's a pirate! Chase him away!" one of the fishermen yelled, shaking his oar.Seeing the shark closing in, Joe begged, "Please, help me! There's a shark!"The fishermen saw the shark and, realizing the danger, pulled Joe onto the boat just in time. As the shark drew closer, one of the fishermen swung a big hook at the shark's head. Blood poured into the water, and Joe watched in horror as the water turned red and the dead shark sank into the depths.As Joe caught his breath, the fishermen began to question him."Who are you?" one fisherman as
Chapter 60: Pollutant
Joe slipped into the ship through a small maintenance hole, wearing a mask. Darkness filled the lower deck as he moved quietly through the ship. The sound of the sea was muted here, replaced by the hum of the engines and the distant chatter of the crew.He heard voices and footsteps approaching as he moved through the narrow passageways. He quickly ducked behind a stack of crates, holding his breath as two crew members passed, their conversation fading into the distance.Once the coast was clear, Joe continued moving. He found the storage area where the gold was kept. Two security guards stood at the entrance, their attention on the corridor. Joe crept up behind them and grabbed a cloth from a nearby crate, swiftly choking one guard while covering his mouth to prevent any noise. Realizing what was happening, the second guard reached for his gun, but Joe acted quickly. He sent the first guard unconscious with a powerful punch and grabbed a fire extinguisher, swinging it at the second g

Joe was taken aback. "Sir, what's going on?""You think I don't know what you've been doing?" Lorenz continued, his voice rising. "I sent you on a mission, and you’re out there partying, drinking, wasting time! Do you have any idea what’s at stake?"Joe's heart pounded. "Sir, I—""Shut up and listen!" Lorenz interrupted. "You have one week to do your job. If you fail, you’ll wish you were never born."The line went silent as Joe absorbed Lorenz's words. "I understand, sir," he finally replied, his voice shaking.Immediately after the call ended, Joe began to grumble and hiss loudly. "What nonsense! He ordered I shouldn't do anything, and now he's on my neck. What a stupid old fool," Joe said, throwing his phone into his pocket.He stood there angrily, thinking about what to do next. The lady he had been dancing with came over and said, "Hey sweet, what's the problem with you? Come dance with me," as she continued to sway to the music.Without looking at her, Joe pushed her away.

People listened attentively as he appeared on the screens in homes and on the streets, knowing he always brought good news.Fischer began, clearing his throat."Seeing the present growth of the economy," Fischer started, "I, President Fischer, have always wanted this growth from the start. We can see that the economy is not the same as it has been for years. So, to celebrate this developing economy, I, President Fischer, declare a work-free day! It's a day to party!"The whole country erupted in joy upon hearing that. Wherever people were, they shouted in celebration.A popcorn vendor was about to hand a hot bag of popcorn to a customer.

The crew members on the Mawuta ship waited patiently.Finally, after much waiting, the crew members and Captain Henry heard the ship's horn from Parkland and rejoiced greatly. They all clapped loudly, their claps echoing over the sea waves.Captain Morgan from Parkland got off his ship and met Captain Henry. They had become good friends since the trade began. They smiled and hugged each other tightly as they watched the cargo being exchanged."Hey, don't let that fall over!" Morgan screamed as he saw one of Mawuta's workers roughly handling the oil barrels. He turned to Henry. "This is clean gold, and it's so shiny.""Oh yeah, we produce nothing but quality," Henry responded.Morgan asked, taking out a note and pen, "So how many sacks?"Henry replied, "Those are 200,000 sacks of gold, more t
Chapter 56: Trade Begins
"Load those sacks well, and make sure they are well-tied! I won't condone any mistakes from anyone!" Joe shouted authoritatively, ordering the workers in his unit to carry the sacks into the heavy-duty truck. The truck was set to transport the gold to the ship that would take it to Parkland.The workers were picking up the sacks roughly, and Joe struggled to monitor them. They moved haphazardly, causing him frustration. "Okay, you know what, everyone, form a queue now! I don't want to see anyone picking gold without being in this queue!" he commanded. The workers immediately obeyed and formed a line.One by one, they came forward and picked up gold sacks. When a worker picked a sack that seemed too light, Joe called him back. You can do better than that. Drop that and take this one," Joe said, handing him a heavier sack. The worker, without hesitation, picked it up and carried it on his arm, making Joe wonder why he hadn't picked it up at first.The queue was moving steadily, and the

Joe searched for a quiet spot to call Lorenz. He looked around and dialled Lorenz's number, realising no One Was Nearby. The phone rang a few times before Lorenz picked up."R. President, thank goodness you picked up. I finally got the job, but I noticed something..."Joe paused, rechecking his surroundings to make sure no one was approaching. Seeing the clear coast, he continued," R. President, I realised these people were so nice to me. Do you have a hand in this?" He smiled as he asked.Lorenz laughed loudly, his voice echoing over the phone. "h, just a kid, Joe. You need to learn a lot."Lorenz laughed again and said, "Don't worry about that. Leave that to me.
