I broke through the metal door. The heavy iron could have been styrofoam for all I cared, as hitting its weak point essentially caused it to crumble as such. As the dust cleared and I stepped through the entrance, I came upon an unexpected scene. I had expected a dungeon of sorts, but in front
“Is this REALLY the way to the basement?!” I yelled at Yi Long as we seemingly turned enough corners to circle around the building several times already. “It’s not my fault that the family decided on this kind of building to slow down invaders! There’s only one path to the dungeon below!” Yi Long drew
Though Wen Zhi was able to hold his ground, his other men weren’t having as much luck. Slowly, the ring around Ludmila was shrinking. “C’mon! Ten more seconds! You all got this!” He shouted to encourage his men. Even when the Chen family broke away from their strongest defensive position to stop the girl, they
After the bombs had fallen and demolished the enemy stationed at the first gate, Wen Zhi led the charge forward.

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.”
“Claude, what do you think?” Katsys, Ludmila, and Chrys each walked out of the changing rooms, showing off the attire they had chosen. Currently, I found myself clothes shopping with them, as they had expressed an interest in getting outfits that aligned more with their fighting styles. After the chaos that had happened from the
