"Well well well, if it isn''t the star from the Owen Tower" a malicious voice rang out.


    d looked at the source of the voice and saw that it was a middle aged man with handsome features but having a ruthless glint in his eyes as he looked toward their group.


    These people who had suddenly appeared were all dressed in purple uniforms and blue belts, they were from the Christopher Tower which was one of the five biggest Towers in the world.


    It wasn''t a secret that some of the five biggest Towers had hostile rtionships with each other, the rtionship between the Owen Tower and the Christopher Tower just happened to be one of the hostile ones.


    "I was wondering which thief was trying to steal the mirror gate that we had secured. It turned out that it''s the little rats from the Owen Tower. Don''t you all have any sense of shame trying to rob us in broad daylight?" The man spat out with a vicious look on his face, the people behind him went into a feat ofughter after hearing this.


    "Tks!"


    Jack clicked his tongue in irritation, Be and the others also had enraged looks on their faces.


    ''Secured your father! With the number of monsters we had to fight to get here, how dare you say we are stealing from you? You should feel ashamed as a Nexulyte!''


    d was the only one who still had an expressionless look on his face even at this time as he stared at the man who was spouting nonsense.


    "What do you mean?" d asked, his voice extremely cold and menacing that a few people of the Christopher Tower had a grim look on their faces for a moment.


    ''Just who was that brat to be scaring them with just his words!?''


    The man who had been talking since settled his eyes on d, a wicked smirk formed on his lips before he opened his mouth.


    "Ah, ric dimir. I''ve heard of you and I must say that it''s impressive that you managed to bring so many weaklings this far, but that doesn''t mean that you have to go around stealing other people''s things.


    We got here first and have already upied this mirror gate, so naturally this mirror gate is now a property of the Christopher Tower. Thief''s from the Owen Tower should go look somewhere else, don''t force us if we decide to protect what belongs to us" The man sneered while rubbing his knuckles and releasing Nexus energy from his body.


    He was a Partial Lord ranked Nexulyte! Just like d.


    The look in d''s eyes finally changed, his eyes had an amused look as he stared back at the man.


    "And what if we want to rob you? You think you can defend ''your property'' from me?" d asked as a cold grin crept up the corner of his mouth.


    " Huh? Are you nning to force us to give up on what belongs to us? I''m afraid that won''t be easy. Ah, I know why. As the star of the Owen training camp, you must have been cared for and think everything is easy as long as you are stubborn. Hehe, we heard how you dominated the training and no one was able to reach your level.


    Those old dogs of the Owen Tower really doted on you a lot, didn''t they?


    Your talent was so good that they had to give all their resources to nurture you, but do you know what? You''re old news now!


    Back then, you were an outstanding talent but that was it. Do you know what''s going on now in San Pluto? I heard that another talent appeared in this training, he''s so talented that the various founders of the big Towers even fought over him and your tower master offered him a personal vi just to get him. What, feeling jealous yet? They clearly value this new guy more than you!


    What''s his name again…ah yes, Ivan!"


    The man ranted non-stop, clearly trying to piss off d. Saddle, d''s face remained as cold as an ice sculpture and didn''t react but the same wasn''t so for Jack and the others, they were ticked off by the man''s ranting.


    But before they could respond, d calmly said.


    "Even at that, he''ll still be under me and remain under the same tower as myself. The Owen Tower would have two geniuses but what of you? Who are you even? Some unknown person is trying to provoke me?"


    d''s tone was calm but his words were piercing, the face of the man who had been ranting since immediately took a change as his mood went for a dive. Those behind him were also affected too.


    " Arrogant brat, what makes you think you can talk to our leader like that?"


    Someone in purple uniform suddenly burst out in fury and rushed at d while summoning a huge hammer with his talent.


    The face of his group members changed and they tried to stop him but it was toote as he was already in front of d with his hammer raised high in the air.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    But before they could even blink.


    BAM!!


    d delivered a fierce kick to the man''s ribs and sent him flying in the direction of the mirror gate, in other words, in the direction of the stone monster with three eyes.


    What happened next, none of them except for d and the leader of the people from the Christopher Tower were able to see clearly.


    Within a fraction of milliseconds, the stone monster got up, picked up its two stone swords and shed the man with a hammer dozens of times.


    He didn''t even get to feel the pain or understand what had happened before he was cut into countless pieces.


    Gasp!


    The others gasped in horror. All they saw was d kicking the man away and the next thing was a rain of blood and flesh with the stone monster already standing.


    What the hell happened and when?!


    Everyone''s expression immediately turned grim, this monster…was not something that they could deal with.


    Looking at the pieces of flesh that the man had been reduced to, d directed his gaze to the people from the Christopher Tower and said.


    "Since it''s you who got here first, we''ll respectfully leave it to you to finish what you started" d said and took a step back.


    The leader of the other people stared at him, did this brat take him for a fool?


    Leave it to us to finish what? Even a fool would know that you''re trying to use us as cannon folders!


    "Hump! It''s good that you know your ce, we just lost a member and will need to reorganize first" suppressing his frustration from having just lost a subordinate, the man replied before proceeding to withdraw with his people.


    But how could d allow this? A wicked smirk formed on his face when he saw the people of the Christopher Tower retreating.


    "Are you sure? Don''t me me if I take your property in your absence" he voiced out.


    The leader of the other group turned and scoffed at d''s im.


    ''Take it if you can, let''s see if you can kill that thing with just these group of yours''


    Seeing that the other party did not stop, d tapped on the chip in his ears and connected with Eric.


    "Contact people of the Dominion Tower, tell them we havepleted our objective" He said before cutting off the connection. Immediately after doing that, he instructed Jack and the rest to retreat.


    They did not dare to question him and immediately retreated into thend carriers behind them.


    The people from the Christopher Tower sneered at this.


    ''You just imed that you''ll take the mirror gate, why are you retreating instead?''


    But never in their wildest dreams would they imagine what happened next.


    d released a burst of red energy that condensed into a fine sword before suddenly shooting forward like an arrow.


    BOOM!!


    The ce that he was standing on previously exploded with a spiderweb crack under the force of his dash, d appeared in front of the rock monster in a second before shing with his sword.


    ng!!!


    Boom!!!


    A loud ring echoed through the forest upon the sh of the two swords, followed by a wave of fierce mes that was swallowed by the mirror gate behind the beast.


    Immediately after the attack was blocked, d moved back, dodging a sh to his waist before running away.


    "The hell!!"


    The people from the Christopher Tower cursed as their eyes widened in terror. d, with his expressionless face was running towards them; the fearsome stone monster that had yet to open its third eye was right behind him!!


    The damned bastard was leading the beast to them!


    "Run!!!"


    The group of Nexulytes from the Christopher Tower immediately fell into chaos as they tried to get away from the two sword monsters, they were only at the True King rank and Mortal king rank and did not have the ability to face any of them.


    Only their leader stood a chance and winning wasn''t even guaranteed for him!


    Meanwhile, Eric had already opened amunication link to the base of the people stationed by the Dominion Tower.


    Eric quickly exined the situation and gave a detailed description of the stone monster.


    On the other side of the Death Sea, a camp with over five hundred Nexulytes could be seen at the base of a huge mountain.


    Inside themunication room, an extremely cold faced beautiful woman with long white hair listened to the report through a transmitter.


    She wore a white military uniform with a ck belt around her waist.


    "Understood, you all retreat for now and maintain a steady line; we''ll send help soon" she said before ending the connection.


    Immediately after she did that, she turned to the young man standing stationary at the side.


    "Gather a team of fifteen Partial Lords immediately and prepare a G99B7 Carrier to cross the Death Sea! It''s a three eyes monarch"


    She instructed and the man immediately left to carry out her orders.
