“Brother, no fair! Let me join!” Martin said, seeing Silvan soloing the enemy.

“Then he’s yours,”

“Hahaha, thank you, brother,” Martin said, unconsciously licking his lips.

With surging blood-red energy, Martin charged toward Leopold like a beast.

“Hmph! Foolish!” Leopold muttered, meeting Martin head-on.

As their fists connected, Leopold felt pain as his hand cracked under the impact.

If Leopold’s hand crashed, with the difference in their body mass due to realm difference, Martin’s hand was directly disabled.

However, instead of grimacing in pain like him, the look in Martin’s eyes was only more excitement and euphoria.

“Another insane brat!” Leopold cursed.

Before Martin’s hand regenerated, his fist was followed by a kick in mid-air.

Blocking the attack with his other hand, Leopold felt his hand turning into vegetables.

“How is this possible? A technique? What ability is this?” Leopold thought.

Having both his hands disabled in just an exchange, Leopold retreated, weirded out by Martin’s ability.

“Hehe, everything around me would be vulnerable. I seek blood; thus, I fight for blood,” Martin answered, his childlike innocence disappearing.

Seeing the blood, his mind was incomparably clear, like a beast ready to devour prey.

“Now, kill! Kill! Kill!”

In excitement, Martin attacked consecutively without stopping.

Regardless of Leopold’s counterattacks, Martin didn’t stop.

If his hand were injured, he would use his feet.

If both were injured, he would use his head.

No matter how battered he was, with blood all over his body, Martin didn’t stop.

Meanwhile, Leopold, who was suffering a beating, cursed inwardly.

Martin’s fighting style was too bloody.

Feeling his vulnerable body suffering a beating like a mortal, he wanted to escape.

However, as soon as he tried, another brat would attack him across space.

Trapped like a beast and suffering a beating a few more times, Leopold finally had enough.

He didn’t care any longer and decided to escape using all his might.

Using the tier 12 treasure the Twilight alliance lent him, he urged it using his origin, forming a barrier for his escape.

This treasure could form an indestructible barrier that could even block a tier 11 attack.

In turn, the damage it suffered would consume his energy.

Suffering from Vaelin’s earlier suicide attack, Leopold barely had energy and could barely fight.

Now, meeting these two crazy brats, Leopold could only burn his origin, regardless of injury, to escape this place.

“You can’t run~,” Martin said, seeing Leopold turning to escape.

“See you later, brat.” Leopold only smiled wryly, trying his best to escape.

Finally, after a few hours of pursuit, with Leopold coughing blood and his body battered with injuries, he finally escaped.

Seeing the enemy escape, Martin sighed in disappointment.

“Don’t worry too much,” Silvan said, seeing Martin’s disappointment.

Although he could lock the space, Leopold was too powerful and had more experience escaping from their clutches.

“You better clean your body, or Father will scold you.” Silvan reminded, seeing Martin didn’t listen.

“Oh, right!” Martin’s eyes widened, using a few cleaning spells and taking out a new set of clothes.

A while later, Silvan and Martin met up with their father and mother at the vantage point.

In the Core of Shadowcrest outpost:

Liam was looking through the battlefield, assessing the power of the enemy.

“Too weak. It seems that the forces in the inner area didn’t take us seriously,” Liam commented.

His sisters didn’t even exert themselves, and the enemy already fell to the ground.

What more for his brothers on standby?

While the battle was going on, Max and Ella were still dating.

Luke and Sam were even tinkering with their machines like nothing was happening.

Neo and Aria were even worse, since giving away the blueprint to turn the entire outpost into a super bomb, the two never went out and played games all day.

As for Lux, he was still completing some deals.

If not for the massive explosion, they would not even know that they were under attack.

Suddenly, feeling someone sneaking behind him, he shook his head.

As the core of the base, controlling it was the top priority; thus, seeing an assassin, Liam was not too surprised.

“Kill it. I don’t need intelligence.”

Hearing this, the shadow behind him trembled and then quietly disappeared into the virtual world.

“How dare you order us like that, Liam!” Quickly killing the enemy, Amara and Elysienne were dissatisfied with Liam’s tone.

“I’m sorry, I acted without thought,” Liam quickly apologized, seeing his wives’ looks.

Because of working around the clock during this war, Liam’s voice had gone cold, like an emotionless leader.

Turning to his wives, Liam couldn’t change for a while.

“Hmph! As I said, too much work is bad for you!” Elysienne complained.

“You should rest. You should trust your brother and sisters to hold on while you rest,” Amara said, putting her hand on Liam’s shoulder.

“No, at a time like this, I can’t be careless. This is only the first wave of the enemy—a mere cannon fodder to test our strength,” Liam shook his head, thinking deeply.

The forces in the inner domain shouldn’t be too weak.

According to his investigation, the Twilight Alliance was only equivalent to a group of gangsters in the inner area.

Besides Vaelin, who had some strength resulting in her sister’s death, he didn’t see anyone noteworthy.

“If you say so, but tonight you have to do something with us~,” Elysienne said, breathing hotly into his ears.

“This-“

…

A few months later, the Shadowcrest outpost suffered another attack.

This time, it was more intense, causing two of the Valkyries, Lydia and Lila, to be out of commission.

Although they were prepared, even mobilizing Max and Ella as backup, the enemy was too tough.

However, according to the reports, Lydia only died because she was fighting too recklessly.

Thinking of Lydia’s emotions during this time, it should be because he wanted to meet Lyla as soon as possible.

As for Lila, she had no fighting power and could only act cute.

According to the reports, Lila seduced the enemy too much, causing a talented woman prodigy to go insane, sacrificing her life to take Lila with her.

Reading these reports, Liam’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

“These two girls are too rebellious,” Liam sighed in defeat.

“Hahaha, don’t let it get to you. These two girls are too cute!” Elysienne laughed, seeing the reason the two died.

“Hey, kids these days,” Amara muttered, also speechless.

“Hmm, however, the attack this time was weird. It seems that not only are we being tested, but we are also being used as a sharpening stone for those geniuses,” Liam muttered.

“Then once we are fat and juicy, they would come in droves and end us,” Amara continued, guessing the plan behind the scenes.

Living for billions of epochs, the intrigue and tricks from the inner area were too straightforward to guess.

“It doesn’t matter; they are using us, and we are also using them…”

After reaching a milestone, the points they earned wouldn’t disappear after the enemy killed them.

Although the points the enemy would get depended on how much they had, the two were independent of each other. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Thus, Liam didn’t hate those forces from the inner area; he was even somewhat thankful.

With attacks coming one by one, not only would they earn more points, but they could also train at the same time.

…

Soon, days, months, and years passed by.

The once vibrant Shadowcrest outpost was now tattered all over.

The trillions of population in the base had already perished under the never-ending battle.

“We are at the end of our ropes, huh?” Liam muttered wryly, looking at the scene.

Every few months, the Shadowcrest outpost would be attacked.

From one genius to two geniuses to three geniuses, the enemy they faced became stronger and stronger.

Within the span of 30 years, they were attacked over a hundred times.

As for the geniuses, they fought; some escaped, and some died.

However, no matter who they were, they couldn’t destroy the Shadowcrest outpost.

“Brothers, after we get back, we must drink until we get knocked out,” Max said with a big smile.

“Sure,” Liam nodded readily.

“Hmm,” Nathan nodded, somewhat missing his wife’s home-cooked meal.

A few decades ago, when they were killing people who escaped, they met a tough nut, causing his wife Zoe to sacrifice herself.

Although knowing it’s a virtual world, he still feels hurt remembering the scene.

Vowing to avenge her, he fought regardless of injury and fatigue, causing him to be the last one of the few to survive.

“Hey, what about us sisters? You can’t leave us out, can you?” Asha asked in dissatisfaction.

Asha’s luck had always been invincible.

Coupled with the origin manual and corresponding treasure, Asha managed to survive by the skin of her teeth in the last 30 years.

Although Asha wasn’t the strongest, her luck always tried to keep her alive.

“You can join, of course. Sister Lily and Maya too, we should drink with the whole family!” Max replied.

Liam, Max, Nathan, Lily, Asha, and Maya were the only survivors after decades of never-ending battle.

With their strength, ability, intelligence, and luck, they kept the Shadowcrest stronghold standing to this very end.

Looking at millions of individuals raging with incomparable auras they only felt from the geniuses they fought; they didn’t have any will left to fight.

“Should we leave here?” Liam asked.

“Hmm, time to go home…”

Looking one last time at the base they built for hundreds of years, Liam reluctantly detonated the place, seeing the enemy arrive before them.

BOOOOM!
