"This time, we’ll activate the guardian deity statue right off the bat!" the new tribe leader of Hawkfrey Tribe shouted and took out the palm-sized statue of a majestic eagle.


    Meanwhile, Lily, Natalia, Grim Breakers, and other gold rankers gathered outside the tribe along with the warriors, looking at the iing army.


    "Fuck, three ships?!"


    "They look vastly different from each other…"


    "Don’t tell me the other three worlds are fucking working together against us?!"


    "Shit!"


    "We need Almond here asap!"


    "He is on the way."


    …


    "Fuck."


    Almond cursed, his words causing the naturally armored-skin warriors with long-nose-like armadillos to tremble.


    A few warriors were dead nearby, and their tribe chief was also dead.


    He was just about his mid-speech when he got Sylvia’s message.


    "You all, make your tribe understand that it’s now allied to a different force," Almond stood up from his throne, his eyes shing with silver as he began creating a portal.


    "From now on, you are under my rule, and if you stay obedient, you’ll have a future," Almond continued speaking while creating the portal.


    "Now go and make your tribe realize that it’s allied to a different force, and your tribe chief is dead. And make sure to elect a new tribe chief from among yourselves."


    The warriors saw a portal forming after Almond finished speaking.


    "I am going for now, but I will return soon," Almond swept his nce at the warriors before stepping through the portal.


    On the other side of the portal that was a kilometer away from the tribe, Almond arrived and saw two giant beasts shing in the sky—a majestic hawk with variant lightning and wind against an elephant with three trunks.


    Meanwhile, a war had just broken out on the ground.


    Almond saw three people floating away. His domain could capture a 4-kilometer area so he could see them, but the enemies didn’t know he had arrived.


    Without further ado, Almond made his presence known by waving his hand, unleashing an Expotent Severance de that increased in size as it traveled by taking space, aimed at the three most powerful aura of three people who were floating a few meters off the ground as the army they brought finally shed against Hawkfrey Tribe and fifty warriors from other five tribes.


    *Swoosh!*


    "What the fuck is that?"


    "Fuck, dodge!"


    The sh streaked away after a destructive trail before Almond saw their focus on him.


    The gold rankers of Earth also knew he was here after watching that sh and became fired up.


    ’The enemy gold rankers areing to you. There are over eighty of them,’ Almond ryed to his fellow adventurers. ’If you are about to die, quickly think of surrendering so you can exit. Don’t die for nothing.’


    ’Alfred, protect our people and kill the enemy. This is King’s Order.’


    After rying his message, Almond teleported and arrived in front of the three enemy leaders, floating ten meters away from them.


    They finally saw Almond close, and they didn’t hesitate in making their move.


    "So you are the one," Zoltrend’s scales glinted, and his aura surged as he immediatelyunched at Almond with his full power while wing.


    A dreadful violet lightning w projectile arrived at Almond followed by Zoltrend’s physical attack, but Almond simply shed the projectile and in the same movement, he finished a spin tounch a spinning kick right before Zoltrend could w his face.


    *Smash!*


    Almond’s eyes flickered as quickly swung backward, his sword glinting as it struck a dark elf who screamingly shot away as his ambush failed.


    Right after that, Almond found his limbs and ankles bound by a sizzling dark gold whip with blue vein-like patterns. Discover stories at NovelBin.C?m


    "Got him!" Leo said as he used his control-type artifact to bind Almond.


    Almond saw attacks from other powerhouses aside from their leaders as he saw seven more people, some elves, some draconians, and some high-tech humansunching their attacks at him.


    ’Nice,’ Almond’s eyes flickered as his feet suddenly grew golden wings.


    His figure glowed in the micro before he just phased out of the whips that bound his limbs and vanished.


    "What?!"


    "What the fuck just happened?!"


    "He has an artifact!"


    *sh!*


    This time, Almond was like a death reaper. He unleashed ten shes of Severance de after using his Mana techniques and Spirit Syringe, holding back nothing.


    The shes drifted through space and appeared right behind the three leaders and seven others.


    ’Now that they are here, they must die,’ Almond’s eyes coldly shone as seven of them just died, while the three leaders indeed lived by using their items’ effect as well as skills.


    They were cut above the rest.


    But not above Almond.


    *Swoosh!*


    @@novelbin@@


    Almond teleported behind Zoltrend and shed.


    Zoltrend reacted barely in time to block, but it wasn’t fast enough as the arms he barely erected to block were cut off while he was shot on the ground and smashed.


    Almond wanted to teleport again, but the space suddenly became familiarly wobbly, preventing the teleportation.


    ’Cyberterra’s space disruptor,’ Almond’s eyes glinted and he burst with golden lightning, transforming and streaking at Leo.


    Leo’s pupils shrank with dread, but he quickly reacted, using a skill as a strange spherical field materialized around him.


    Almond’s sh streaked first and struck the spherical field. The moment it struck, the field exploded and pushed Leo away, keeping him away from the deadly attack that he knew he would fail to blockpletely and could result in instant incapacitation.


    Moreover, an electromaic wave struck Almond in a counter-attack from Leo’s field, making him briefly sluggish.


    ’The fuck is this defensive counter-skill?’ Almond felt some jolts, but nothing too harmful for this gear set.


    But even in that brief time, Leveraum El used his artifact, a scepter, at the opportunity as a ghastly ck mist with green and red sparks enveloped Almond, debuffing him.


    [Your senses are disabled for 1 minute.]


    [Your recovery is halved for 1 minute.]


    [Your physical stats will decrease by 50% for 1 minute.]


    "Take this!" Zoltrend roared, his head adorning a majestic draconic helmet, an artifact. It crackled with red and violet lightning as he unleashed it on Almond as a destructive draconic maw made of those lightnings mped on Almond.


    However, that brief sh of light from his artifact’s attack illuminated Almond and showed a grin on his lips, causing a chill to crawl down his back.


    ’No way he was smiling. I must be seeing things.’


    *Crackle BOOM!*


    The artifact’s power was absolute as the draconic maw mped and sted dreadfully. It was a Tier-3 offense-type artifact that killed an Epic-rank boss instantly.


    "He should be dead," Leo said as he narrowed his eyes, looking at the st area swirling with magical smoke and energies.


    But suddenly, everyone heard a faint rumble and saw a sh of light.


    *sh!*


    Zoltrend and El turned their heads in the same dimension, their hearts racing.


    El’s eyes turned bloodshot with desperation and disbelief.


    Zoltrend’s pupils shrank, and his figure trembled.


    Leo had a vertical slit going on from top to bottom and behind him was Almond who was revealed as Leo’s body split into two and fell.


    Almond smiled at them, which caused their hearts to turn cold as they just couldn’tprehend how Almond survived that artifact’s attack, even seemedpletely fine and killed Leo.


    ’You two must die as well.’
