When he stepped forward, he could see the exact effect of his attacks. Outer walls were cracked and broken in multiple places. Windows shattered in the intense heat revealing the…

'Compensation for killing my people?' Penthe's blood boiled in anger when he heard Alex had killed his people. They were his hunting dogs. How dare someone kill them? But before he could explode in anger, a voice echoed in his mind. Someone in the vicinity was talking to Penthe without the knowledge of anyone.

Alex was not surprised to find that some warriors from the Thousand-headed Serpent tribe were in cahoots with the Noble Trader Association. Motivated by this initial clue, Alex decided to dismantle the Noble Trader Association. His voice dripped with doubt, Alex interrogated the burly man, "You've presented two facts, yet you haven't provided a reason why the Noble Trader Association desires this land. You said there was a reason, correct?" Caught off guard by the question, the burly man attempted…

"Arav, close the door." After ordering Arav to close the door, Alex raised his hand. Instantly twenty glowing lights materialised behind him, spinning in a circular formation. Each light point was a fire spell which contained one per cent of Alex's mana. It was a modified fireball spell that Alex concocted to enhance its power. Fireball spell was a basic spell that any apprentice mage could use. It was a weak spell that would use about ten per cent of an apprentice mage's mana reserve. However,…

The burly man took a moment to steady himself and glanced at Alex. Now that he knew Alex was the real owner, he thought things would move on smoothly. In his mind, he was sure that a weakling like Alex would never stand a chance against him. "Hm…" He grunted before turning to Alex. "Owner? What owner?" the burly man retorted, his voice provocatory. "This land belongs to the Noble Trader Association. We acquired it from the previous owner in recognition of the assistance we rendered." His…

"The metal cards and white robe would become my hidden identity. I can't let the evil organization discover who I truly am, but I want them to know that someone is coming after them. And I have a plan to accomplish that." Dhairya was unsure how to respond to Alex's words, knowing that he was up to something. In the past, Alex, or Meru as he knew him, had never taken the initiative in anything. However, he seemed to be changing, for better or worse. If Dhairya had to choose, he preferred the current…

Even though Mupan was perplexed by Alex's words, he didn't let it affect him. He knew that it was bound to happen. Alex was the strongest person in the entire tribe. A person with his calibre asking to leave the tribe was natural. He has already grown beyond what the tribe could hold. "Can I ask why?" Mupan asked. Alex smiled and replied. "It's better if you don't." He didn't mean it negatively and Mupan could understand that. The things he was going to do in the next few months could escalate…

When a rock is heated and cooled rapidly, it will shatter. In nature, this phenomenon is called weathering. Alex was going to simulate it to weaken the thick body of the stone giant. Thermal expansion and contraction was the best way to do it. When a stone is heated, the different materials present inside it will expand at different rates. For example, if a stone contains air pockets and water, it will expand before the solid materials inside the stone. This will create pressure inside the stone…
