At this moment, the temperature in the entire basement plummeted.The Flame King frowned, his face solemn as he watched Xayne approach. From Xayne's body and eyes, he sensed overwhelming anger and killing intent.Just then, the vice-captain in front of him quickly stepped forward, standing between Xayne and the Flame King. He drew his pistol from his waist and aimed it at Xayne, saying coldly, "Commander Xayne. Stop right there. I will shoot."Xayne halted, his eyes brimming with killing intent, staring at the vice-captain aiming the gun at him, and sneered, "Do you want to kill me?"Simple as those words were, they sent shivers down the vice-captain's spine.At that moment, it felt as if the Grim Reaper was whispering, questioning him.His whole body trembled.An inexplicable pressure surged from Xayne, leaving his mind blank.By the time he regained his senses, Xayne was already standing before him.At that moment, the vice-captain was horrified, desperately trying to pull t
Upon hearing the Flame King's words, Xayne fell silent. He was assessing their authenticity.Flame King continued, "Everything I said was true. At this point, there's no need for deception.""Is that so?" Xayne questioned, his eyes emitting intense coldness. "How do I know if you're intentionally stalling for time to let your men come to your rescue? Just like now."Before he could finish his sentence, several guards wearing combat uniforms rushed into the entrance of the basement, brandishing submachine guns and opening fire at Xayne.However, Xayne frowned. The moment these men rushed in, he raised his hand. The Ravenclaw Dagger burst out with a dazzling cold light, carving an arc trajectory in mid-air, piercing through the chests and abdomens of the guards with a series of splashes of blood.These men, who had just rushed in, fell into pools of blood, becoming lifeless corpses.The chain of the Ravenclaw Dagger retracted swiftly, landing in Xayne's hand, dripping with crimso
This was what Xayne was most concerned about. If the Emperor were involved, the enemy he faced would be too powerful. He had never imagined being at odds with Drakonia.Flame King shook his head and said, "The Emperor was not involved. The tragedy back then was orchestrated by Mr. Drake alone. Even the Emperor was deceived by him."Upon hearing this, Xayne took a deep breath.It had nothing to do with the Emperor.Then, he stared coldly at Flame King and asked, "Is everything you said true?"Flame King chuckled and said, "I know you won't believe me, so I left evidence of what happened back then."With that, Flame King retrieved a yellowed file folder from a drawer under the coffee table. He then pulled out a document and several photographs.As Xayne looked through the documents, the more he read, the angrier he became.Then, he looked at the photos. It was a scene of the heads of the big four meeting with Drake. Iyas was among them. The subsequent photos showed Drake appearin
The towering flames could be seen even from several miles away.Xayne arrived at the foot of the mountain, got into his car, and handed the file folder to Draven, saying coldly, "Verify the authenticity immediately. I'll wait here."Draven glanced at the documents in the file folder, his face filled with shock, and said, "Yes, Commander."With that, he jumped out of the car, got into another one, and drove straight to one of the branches of Dracarium in Drakonix.Meanwhile, Xayne remained where he was, waiting silently.Time passed by minute by minute.After about an hour, Draven, driving a jeep, rushed back. He slammed on the brakes and then jumped out of the car. He hurried over to Xayne and said, "Drakon King, I've checked it. The photos are real, with no signs of manipulation. Furthermore, the information in the documents is also authentic."Upon hearing this, Xayne took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, and his aura suddenly erupted, soaring to the heavens and coverin
Drake's face darkened quickly, a chill creeping into his expression. However, he concealed this well, so much so that even the Emperor did not notice.With a smile, he said, "A rising Divine Commander, Xayne, you're truly something. Nowadays in Drakonia, aside from the heads of the big four, their revered elders, and the reclusive masters of various groups, there are fewer than five young rising Divine Commanders like you."Hearing this, Xayne frowned. 'Is there really that many prodigious rising Divine Commanders around?'The Emperor chuckled, "Mr. Drake, while that's true, Xayne's achievement at his age is worth celebrating! Don't forget, he started late! It's been less than six years. Even the prodigies of KB Kings Circle can't match Xayne's rapid advancement."Drake nodded slightly. "Yes, Your Majesty is right. Even the prodigies of the KB Kings Circle can't compare to Xayne's speed. Xayne is indeed a genius among geniuses."With a serious expression, Drake looked at Xayne a
The statues, all carved from white marble and entwined with golden dragons and phoenixes, were varied in their poses—some brandishing swords skyward, others striking the earth with fists, and still others gazing at the stars with books in hand. Despite their diversity, the statues exuded an overwhelming sense of solemnity and grandeur.Behind this vast plaza stood the imposing and historic main gate of KB Kings Circle, comprising six massive, gilded redwood doors. Beyond these doors lay the main hall of the group, an ancient and dignified structure with black walls and blue tiles. Flanking the hall were two towering stone pillars that seemed to reach the sky.No one knew how long these pillars had stood, only that they had been there since the founding of the KB Kings Circle. They were adorned with carvings of rare beasts and ancient scripts, weathered by time.Surrounding Mount KB were smaller peaks, each housing different branch halls of the group. While not as grand as the main h
"Master, do you intend to have Ginga test Xayne's strength?" Drake's face was full of astonishment as he asked about Ginga.Klink nodded. "The KB Kings Circle's members have been secluded for too long. It's time for them to see the outside world. Ginga has the potential of a Divine Commander. It will be beneficial for him to gain some experience. You must protect him. He is the future of the KB Kings Circle and will achieve levels beyond mine."Upon hearing this, Drake pondered briefly before replying, "Yes, Master. I will ensure the young master's safety.""Is there anything else?" Klink asked, his voice tinged with impatience as Drake hesitated to leave.Drake quickly responded, "Master, before I came, Xayne met with me and the Emperor. He mentioned that Xander's loyal disciple gave him a letter during his time in Black Prison. The letter stated that the Heavenly Tome could help him reach the Divine Commander realm and even higher.""Xander," Klink murmured the name with a dark,
This was the essence of control over one's strength. Most people could not even lift the 500-pound black iron broadsword, let alone wield it with precision. But Ginga had been able to lift this sword since he was eight years old.The broadsword was crafted from meteoric iron by the eleventh group leader of the KB Kings Circle, a master weaponsmith. He forged nearly half of the weapons in the group's armory. Since its creation, only the eleventh group leader could wield this sword until Ginga came along. It was expected that a Divine Commander would easily lift such a sword, yet no one in the group could do so effortlessly—except for Ginga. At eight years old, his feat stunned the entire group, leading Klink to name him the young master of KB Kings Circle.As Drake watched Ginga practice his sword strikes, he approached respectfully, "Mr. Ginga."Ginga halted his practice, slowly sheathing the sword and wrapping it in a black silk cloth before slinging it over his back. He then b
