On the mountain range outside of Baiman, the ancestral home of the Thunder Phoenix Clan was erected within a sunken valley and enclosed by tall, steep cliffs to protect its inhabitants from outside attacks. The only entryway was through a narrow passage that could only fit ten people walking side by side, making this location
After a while, the inhabitants of the castle gathered together and assessed what we had learned so far. Lady Kaguya, the current head of Sanshiro, had been captured by the Thunder Phoenix Clan, as well as her retainer, Sun Wen Lu. The strongest fighters of the clan had been sent to raid the castle, taking
We caught up to the three men who had been blasted into dreamland by Katsys’s bombs. Along the way, I had wondered if she hadn’t overdone it a bit. “Don’t worry. Those bombs were engineered to have the maximum effect of creating a shockwave strong enough to blow through one’s defenses but perform non-lethal damage.”

A swift spear stabbed through the air hoping to meet its mark. Although it was a lower quality spear meant for training, it was no less threatening, having been enhanced by a layer of hard mana. Prior to the sparring session, I had stopped and warned Wen Zhi to choose a different weapon if he
I felt a drop of cold sweat rolling down my back. ‘Electi had a similar nature as demons? How could that be? Weren’t Electi summoned heroes that helped their masters turn the tide in their favor?’ I vaguely recalled the warning that Koujiro had given me. An Electi had the potential to conquer the world.
In the middle of Yakuman stood a tall castle, which was separated from the rest of the city by a large moat. A lone bridge stretched between the castle and the city, the only entryway into the home of the Holy Sovereign ruler of Sanshiro. However, the previous ruler had passed away a few years
“What?! That’s impossible! There’s no way you should be able to stand up, much less use your mana so soon!” One of the twins yelled at me. “Oh, is that so? Then, it looks like you may have underestimated me,” I said trying to act smug. Seeing them go after Chrys, who had bravely stepped
