"Roar!"Deep within the tunnel, a group of people suddenly heard a loud roar. Some brave souls cautiously peeked out and saw a blue flame lighting up the entire tunnel.The giant wolf monster was completely engulfed in flames. With a deafening roar, the heat from the flames caused the temperature inside the tunnel to rise sharply."It's over! It's coming in!""What do we do? If we stay here, we're dead for sure.""Let's run!"While the group contemplated their options, the first person who had looked out already bolted from the entrance of the secret base, then crawled and ran toward another exit of the tunnel. Although the tunnel had been abandoned, it was still passable. The Bruins’ secret base was located almost midway through the tunnel, about two to three hundred meters from both ends.After the first person ran out, several others followed, while some stayed behind to observe.For these people, two to three hundred meters wasn't too far. They were quite strong and could r

A sizzling sound emanated from the monster’s nostrils. Then, it opened its large mouth, and blue flames surged out like a flood, sweeping toward the nearly hundred people inside the secret base. Wherever the flames passed, the ground crackled, metal frames melted, and flammable items like wooden chairs and tables burst into flames.Amid screams, nearly a hundred people, including Cannis, were engulfed in flames that burned without needing oxygen. In less than half a minute, they were reduced to ashes.Cannis was dead.Due to the unbearable heat, the secret base began to collapse. The monster quickly turned around and, with a few leaps, ran out and arrived at the tunnel entrance. It stood on the mountainside, quietly overlooking Dolsor below.The scattered big shots, including Richie, Kieron, and Eden, understood one thing after witnessing this scene—the group of people inside the tunnel was already dead. From the moment the monster entered the tunnel until it came out, only a few m

Richie furrowed his brow."What's going on with your people, Richie? We agreed that the tallest building would be demolished for me, but where have they disappeared to?" demanded Mad-Vision in a commanding tone.Despite both being powerful figures, Mad-Vision hailed from Falconia, while Richie was from Novena. The significant difference in their nations' strengths gave Mad-Vision a sense of superiority.Richie was displeased with Mad-Vision's tone but dared not show it. Currently, Novena relied on Falconia's support to challenge Dragoria and stir up trouble there. Without Falconia's backing, Novena would be in serious jeopardy. Given Dragoria's current strength, Novena could be annihilated within a month."I apologize, but we haven't yet determined what's happening. Rest assured, we will honor our agreement," Richie replied, sounding notably submissive."It had better be that way. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences," threatened Mad-Vision.Richie turned away and contacted Me

"We’re so close to success! So close to leaving Dragoria and starting a new life in Falconia! How could this happen?!" Mervin cried.Ronnie, however, abruptly stood up and dashed back toward the carriage."It must be controlled by someone from Dragoria! Otherwise, it wouldn't be targeting us so precisely! We need to use those two women as hostages!" Ronnie declared urgently.His words struck Mervin like a lightning bolt, snapping him back to reality. He swiftly got to his feet and sprinted toward the carriage as well.Meanwhile, in a luxurious suite at Black Maple Hotel in Dolsor, Adrian lounged on a recliner on the balcony."They're astute. They've deduced the monster is under control. That means I can't let them live. Although my control over monsters will eventually be exposed, I can't afford it to happen so soon, not until I've stirred enough chaos in Novena," Adrian mused.Knowing the corpse injected with the Zero Toxin was the formidable Emalwolf, Adrian suspected Richie's

Soon, the flying swords landed in a nearby clearing, and two squads of heavily armed, armored soldiers disembarked. Despite being seasoned level eight warriors, Ronnie and Mervin had no intention of resisting. The presence of the giant wolf monster kept them in check, instilling fear that any reckless action could provoke it. They submitted quietly as the soldiers handcuffed them and led them away.As the flying swords prepared for takeoff, Mervin and Ronnie watched helplessly as the monster turned and headed back toward Dolsor."Damn it!" They clenched their fists in frustration and despair. They had urgent information to relay to Richie about the controlled monster, but now they were unable to do so.In a small village in Novena, Richie's voice resonated through the shack."Incompetent! Utterly incompetent fools!" Richie slammed his fist on the table, his voice booming, "Why didn't they have more flying swords prepared?!"Beside him, Kieron stood silently, his expression dark an
