When Jessica saw the woman, her jaw dropped.How had she never met the formidable Nixey despite being a star student at Norcisco for five years?Nixey's image was a fixture on screens across the region as the celebrated guardian of the Norcisco border zone, more recognizable than many celebrities.She was astonished and thrilled to see such an illustrious and revered figure so unexpectedly.Was she there for Ashton? What did he do to deserve that? How could a mere war zone instructor summon the top commander from another zone?Before Jessica could wrap her head around it, Ashton and Nixey were already stepping into the car.Jessica's nerves went into overdrive as a general sat inside her car.That was no ordinary international friend or wealthy heir—she was a genuine Norcisco superstar, a titan of power whose mere words could change the lives of countless people.She sat in Jessica's car, making the entire scene seem surreal."You manage to walk out with a woman in tow? That's
"He's scarier than a helicopter strike? That's rich! This Lindorm guy's a real piece of work, more entertaining than the usual trash we nab." One of them jeered."And this girl, haven't we seen her around?"Eyes shifted to Nixey.One of them recoiled in shock. "Nixey from the Norcisco war zone? What's your deal?""I am Nixey," she said, her face a mask of dark clouds.Her heart pounded with unease.She was counting on Ashton to bail them out of that situation. She was out of her depth against these armed thugs."You're Nixey?"They exchanged bewildered glances."She claims she's Nixey? That's a good one!" The laughter turned to a chilling sneer."Boys, we've hit the jackpot today. Snag this chick and take her back. I wonder how the boss will thank us?""And what about him?" Someone pointed at Ashton."Kill him. Why bother with dead weight when we have the Norcisco border's infamous Nixey in our grasp? That's the real prize."The tension was palpable as two AKs snapped to a
There were five or six mysterious old men in black robes, but the Dark Ebon Camp mercenaries had set up ambushes in various terrains.There were even heavy artilleries arranged in covert places.Nixey's heart was heavy.Those people were far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.The location was usually kept under the radar because it had anti-aircraft weapons that could shoot down any aircraft in the area. As a result, the location had always been a black hole in their databases.She finally realized that unless she used the power of the entire border defense, she would have to sacrifice more than 70 percent of her troops to break through the Dark Ebon Camp. Otherwise, it would have been impossible.At that point, the black-robed old man was still shouting, attempting to negotiate with Ashton.Ashton's arrogance instilled hatred in his opponent and perplexed Nixey.She had never seen anyone so fearless and self-assured. Douglas, the great hero she admired, might b
One could say that Inferno Ocularis was the nemesis of those evil spirits. The sky turned golden red under the blazing red fire, and the last shadows vanished.Ashton dashed away and appeared in front of the six of them.When Ashton slapped his palm across the air, the person in front of him was ripped apart."You!""Are you not a mystic arts practitioner?" The leader looked shocked."Who told you that is what I am?" Ashton sneered, raised his hand, and drew the terrifying spear made of core essence, which nailed the man to the front hall wall on the spot.The Dark Ebon Camp elder was seriously injured, barely alive."Give her back, or die."There were four three-inch-long core essence spears beside Ashton, completely made of pure energy but very solid.Those four core essence spears were obviously prepared for the remaining four elders. Undoubtedly, if their next sentence were incorrect, they would perish on the spot.The four knelt on the spot."Sir, spare our lives!""Th
"Back when we were far away, I noticed a mysterious aura in this Plains Town. This enigmatic aura screams danger to me."In addition, my main purpose is to save people. I might endanger Cassia if I rush into things."Ashton continued to walk."Luca, who is that just now? Why are you suddenly so respectful? That man doesn't seem old."Luca Kigley was the young man in charge of the border sentry who had previously stopped Ashton and Nixey.Luca looked at him and said, "I do not know. There are so many masters in the world; I can't know everything.""However, his aura is powerful and mysterious, and the pressure on me is no weaker than that of the witch king," Luca said fearfully."Perhaps his appearance is fake, which is just his disguise, and he doesn't want people to know his real identity.""Don't make random guesses. The witch king is strong worldwide and invincible in Rachwalik. If he heard us talking about him, he might kill us."Ashton, who had already entered Plains Town
"Lindorm? Ashton? Have you heard of him?"When everyone heard Ashton's self-introduction, they shook their heads.The witches had little contact with the outside world. They concentrated on their curses and hexes, as well as increasing their spiritual power. Some masters had been studying for more than ten years, while others had been studying for decades. Most of them were in their 70s and 80s, and they were disconnected from modern society.However, even if the witches did not know him, some knew.Many people from the outskirts would visit Plains Town; some were warriors from other continents. Some had been interested in the dark web or had heard rumors about it."Ashton? I might have heard of this name. Is that him?""If that's Ashton, then today will be a lot of fun!" a young man shrouded in a black robe said."Ashton? Ronson, don't act dumb. Just say what you know," the young man's friend asked."Haven't you seen the dark web? An incident from three months ago shocked the
"You are the strongest man in Lindorm? So young?"The attendees were all high-level officials who had participated in the Witchery Conference and characters who had seen the world. They were not afraid of the strongest but rather excited to fight him.After all, there were many of them. The great witch king was also in town, and the Wilder Huntsville was backing them. Even if Ashton were the strongest in Lindorm, could he kill all of them?Ashton glanced around.There were more than a dozen witches who were comparable in strength to grandmasters.There were four witches who were comparable to ascendants.There was a vague aura comparable to a legend—the immortal realm.That level of force was not present at the domestic martial arts conference."Where did you hide the pure Dark Essence woman you took away from the Imperial Capital?"Explain. I will not kill anyone if I'm in a good mood."If you don't tell me, I will kill until someone explains it to me."Everyone was stunned
"What?" Ashton's calm demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by an evil aura that was so powerful that people were suffocating.His evil aura transformed into a grinding disc, affecting spiritual power and spreading in all directions.Those caught up in the evil aura were instantly transported into an illusion. It was as if they had witnessed a sea of corpses, blood, and countless bones. That terrifying scene caused their fragile spiritual defense barrier to crumble instantly, reaching the depths of their souls.The two powerful witch kings who bore the brunt of the impact had dull eyes; their brains were completely fried.Boom!Ashton stepped out, and the two of them were trampled into a pile of flesh.He was still filled with rage; his eyes were red with flames as he burned everything before him to ash."How dare you!"The great witch king's eyes bulged.However, a brilliant sword light responded to him. The black sword light hung like a galaxy. It reached the great witch
