Chapter 11: Leo Shu

In the heart of the Leon kingdom, the King, Leo Shu, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of mesmerizing emerald orbs.

His regal gaze seemed to possess an otherworldly power, capable of penetrating the depths of one's soul.

It was as if those eyes held the wisdom of ages and the strength of a thousand warriors combined.

As Leo Shu's senses sharpened, he keenly felt the presence of the radiant pillar of light that had materialized in the northern expanse of the Leon kingdom.

The sheer strength emanating from the pillar was undeniable, its aura almost on par with a fifth ascension expert.

Yet, Leo Shu remained unperturbed, his own power having long surpassed such levels.

A sly smile curled upon Leo Shu's lips as his slender fingers traced patterns upon the armrest of his majestic chair.

The unfolding events intrigued him, igniting a flicker of excitement within his heart. Rather than dispatching his experts to investigate the phenomenon, Leo Shu made a calculated decision.

He chose to bide his time and observe, allowing the intricate game of destiny to play out before his eyes.

A wise ruler, Leo Shu understood the delicate balance of risks and rewards.

Instead of hastily leaping into action, he opted to test the waters, gauging the situation before committing his resources.

After all, some were wise and cautious, while others acted impulsively or recklessly. It was in this gathering near the pillar of light that a motley crew of individuals had converged, their motives and intentions as diverse as the colors of the rainbow.

Among the assemblage, the most notorious faction was the Midnight Hawks, a gang shrouded in mystery and whispered legends.

Their reputation was bolstered by rumors of a leader who had achieved the formidable fifth ascension level.

However, on this occasion, their enigmatic leader was absent, attending to pressing matters elsewhere.

Nevertheless, their ranks were not lacking in talent, boasting members who had attained the first and second ascension levels, while a martial master at the third ascension served as their capable lieutenant.

As the gang head, with a steely gaze and a voice that carried authority, surveyed the radiant portal, he commanded, "Charge in!"

Without hesitation, the thirteen loyal members of the Midnight Hawks surged forward, their steps resolute and their determination unwavering.

Other prominent gangs such as the Green Fang and Devil's Shadow eagerly followed suit, drawn to the allure of the unknown.

A figure cloaked in a billowing black robe stood amidst the crowd, their identity concealed behind a veil of secrecy.

It was none other than San Mu, an enigmatic presence, his true intentions known to none but himself.

The convergence of bandits and martial artists brought together an eclectic mix of characters, each driven by their own desires and ambitions.

With a sense of trepidation mingled with curiosity, they traversed through the portal, venturing into the unknown.

Stepping foot into the tunnel, they were enveloped in an inky darkness, an abyss that swallowed their vision.

But as they ventured forth, a faint glimmer of light pierced through the darkness, beckoning them forward.

With every step taken, the luminescence grew stronger, until finally, they emerged from the tunnel, stepping into a realm of breathtaking beauty that surpassed their wildest imaginations.

Gigantic trees, their branches stretching towards the heavens, towered above them, their leaves shimmering like emerald jewels.

Exotic flowers and plants, their vibrant hues painting a vibrant tapestry, released intoxicating fragrances that danced upon the air.

Even the most battle-hardened among them, like San Mu, found themselves momentarily entranced by the ethereal splendor of the surroundings.

However, amidst the allure of this picturesque paradise, a lingering sense of danger permeated the air.

They were well aware that this realm, with its enchanting facade, concealed perils far greater than they could imagine.

The lush greenery and dense concentration of Qi hinted at the immense cultivation potential the place held, but they knew that such abundant resources often came with a price.

As their gazes swept across the enchanting landscape, their attention was abruptly captured by a group of peculiar creatures that scuttled through the undergrowth—goblins.

These green-skinned beings, with their beady eyes and mischievous grins, recognized the intruders as trespassers in their domain. With a frenzied shriek, the goblins launched themselves into a frenzied assault.

Yet, to the surprise of the onlookers, it became evident that the goblins were merely G-rank beasts, their strength no match for the seasoned martial artists before them.

Mocking smiles crept across the faces of the intruders as they effortlessly dispatched the goblins, their strikes precise and deadly.

It didn't take long for them to discover that some of the defeated goblins carried valuable treasures concealed within their grotesque forms, sparking a glimmer of greed in their eyes.

However, San Mu, ever vigilant and aware, understood that these minor obstacles were but a prelude to the true tests that awaited them deeper within the forest.

Though miles had passed since they set foot in this captivating realm, they had encountered no creature stronger than those of G-rank.

An air of anticipation hung in the atmosphere as they ventured further, their steps guided by both curiosity and caution.

Soon a day passed as they butchered G rank goblins. As they ventured deep into the forest something happened.

As if nature itself had orchestrated the unfolding drama, they entered a realm that seemed to exist in a parallel dimension—a bustling town filled with human activity.

The sight before them elicited gasps of wonder and disbelief. Streets thrived with the hustle and bustle of people, the sounds of bartering and laughter permeating the air.

It was a surreal sight, as if they had stumbled upon a hidden sanctuary nestled within the heart of this untamed wilderness.

Yet, the martial masters among them, honed through years of training and experience, sensed a subtle disturbance.

Their keen instincts alerted them to an unseen threat lurking in the shadows.

It became evident that the goblin presiding over this dungeon possessed an illusion spell of formidable strength—one capable of nearly deceiving even a seasoned martial master.

However, these martial masters were not so easily fooled. Their enhanced senses, profound eyes, and indomitable strength allowed them to penetrate through the veils of illusion.

Locked in a moment of silent understanding, their collective resolve hardened.

They realized that the goblin, despite its lowly F - rank status, possessed the ability to manipulate the very terrain to its advantage.

The ground trembled beneath their feet as it surged upward, transforming into a sturdy shield.
