‘Why did it come to this?’
He was a bandit who ruled these mountains for generations.
With the backing of the noble families of the Blood Barren Kingdom, he was one king in these borderlands. Everyone thought he was a cunning man, and it was true.
He loved killing, but even more, he enjoyed seeing the utter despair in human eyes. Slowly making them lose hope was a thing he enjoyed. This was the same this time too. He destroyed the mirrors, making them feel lost, but he didn’t expect the weak leader of the Caravan to fight back ferociously.
Many called him a monster in their dying breath. He enjoyed the call, knowing they lost all their hope before their death.

‘Brother Adam!’ Alex saw Adam falling to the ground after the 10th tier powerhouse slammed his head. He couldn’t feel his left arm anymore. He didn’t know who pulled out the two arrows that buried deep into his flesh. Whoever it was, that man was fighting somewhere else. He was dizzy since his mental energy was not enough to keep up with all the spells he used. “Prince Lohar, lookout!” Even through tears, he saw another man jumping toward Prince Lohar. No one managed to even scratch Prince Lohar’s armour, but he could see the shaking shoulders of the dwarven prince. Just like him, Prince Lohar was also tired. Even if no one broke his armour, Alex knew either he would die of exhaustion or ban
Carl swung his sword. It was not very common for him to fight without his Giant horned Bull, but for the past month, he fought on the ground more than ever. He didn’t think much. As long as it was not one of their men, they should die. They had thirty men, and he didn’t know how many of them were alive. ‘I should be dead too,’ The direct hit from the mace crushed his innards. Even if that hit didn’t break the dwarven armour, it had a big dent near his chest area. He shivered, remembering the pain that came before he lost consciousness. There was only one reason he was alive, and that reason was running around. Killing everything on his path. He woke up, just to be pushed into the 10th tier a
“Sigh,”‘Ouch, why did I sigh?’It was painful for him to even breathe.The amount of damage that happened was unimaginable. Adam thought death was better than this agony.Every time the carriage shook, he felt his body would fall apart. This resulted from the transformation. All the smaller wounds that didn’t heal were still there. Since the Rapid regeneration was inactive, the only choice was to use herbs.“I hope we make it in time.”He had a promise to keep, and they had a wagon full of dead bodies of their companions. It was a substantial burden to him. He looked at the system messages again, trying to figure out wha
“Elena!” Jane reached out and held her little sister’s hand.She felt the changes in Elena’s domain.It changed from crushing pressure to the mild comfortable domain. Then again, it was changing, making things difficult for others. If she didn’t look at Elena as the Empress, Jane understood her sister. There were so many feelings making Elena change.The one thing Jane understood was, if she didn’t stop her sister now, she would surely act up to help Adam.‘Sigh.’She felt relieved looking at Elena, who was taking several deep breaths to calm herself.Jane finally had the time to look at the stunned crow
“That… that is, ‘Iron Mace of Urial mountain’.”Jane looked at her father, who was pointing his shaking finger at one of the severed heads.“What? They killed Iron Mace?”“The Bandit leader of the Urial mountain?”“That… That is the one they call Black Bear.”“I never thought someone could kill them!”“So, they are indeed bandits?”Even if Elena didn’t know much about them, Jane had heard these names since she came to the Wind Pass City.These wer
“Happy birthday.”Elena was studying Adam’s face.Jane looked at the shaking hands of the young man.She wondered why this man would bring three Shadow Beasts as a gift to her sister’s birthday.‘Is that a gift for a girl for her birthday? You have a lot to learn.’She had to admit, the Shadow Beast cub looked adorable, but this was one of the apex predators in the world.Her sister was not a fragile, ordinary woman who couldn’t handle something like this. Still, three Shadow Beasts, including a 10th tier beast, were a bit too much.There were many gape
“Your Majesty.”Elena noticed the troubled eyes of Carl.She didn’t want to summon Carl tonight, but she didn’t like when things went out of control from her grasp. Even if she hated it, Elena knew her father’s words had some truth.Even for her, Adam was a person who came into her life recently, but she trusted him. They shared a bond far stronger than others knew. Now everyone was questioning Adam’s loyalty. That was because everyone thought Adam was a warlord.She wanted to confirm several things before the others questioned Adam. The banquet was long over, and Jane already found the recovery potion for Adam. It should have already been delivered to him. Most probably by tomorrow, he will be in good condition. 
“Sigh.”Adam looked beyond the open window.It was still dark outside, but there was no point in staying on the bed anymore.He didn’t get any sleep. Over the past couple of days, he got used to his aching body. The rest was the best thing to heal himself, and he needed a good amount of sleep for that.He had a slight hope about the recovery potion, but until now, there were no visible effects. Even though the potion started a slight alteration to his damaged organs, it was not enough to relieve him from the pain. He desperately needed some sleep, but he couldn’t.‘How angry is she?’ He slowly sat on the bed.The do
