Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-156

Not yet totally tired, Ingrid felt her body was numb. She couldn't take another round. Other than that, she had had a big increase in her cultivating, and now she was 49 times stronger. A little more and she would be able to break the barrier of the First Order. That in itself was a great achievement; she was smiling from ear to ear. Being stronger meant that she could help Luan even more.

Luan hugged her to his broad, firm chest and kissed her forehead.

"Be a good boy and wait for me to recover. It's still... It's still sore down there." Ingrid hid her face in his chest when she said that.

Luan laughed and said, "I know. I just wanted to kiss you. I wasn't thinking about that."

"Oh..."

Ingrid turned red like an erupting volcano. She started to wonder if it was she who wanted to continue and not him.

Of course, if possible Luan was willing to continue, but he loved her too much and didn't want to hurt her. If necessary, he would be patient.

Gradually, Ingrid's eyes grew tired, and she slept with her head on Luan's chest.

- At the same time, in São José -

It was 2:30 am on March 30 on a Tuesday.

Elias, wearing heavy armor, shouted as he looked in Ezekiel's direction. "Rat, cover for Blade."

"Yes!" Ezekiel wielded a dagger and went over to where Bruno (Blade) was. With the dagger, he managed to intercept the attack of a giant praying mantis that was almost the size of a German shepherd.

Sparkles glowed in the dimly lit place. Because of the monster invasion, the pole lights were not working, as some monsters had carelessly shorted the wires.

Luckily, the group trained by Elias were not ordinary people. After a few days of training, both in military and body techniques, they became disciplined and powerful. Some of them with firearms were even better than soldiers who had served in the army for 10 years. All this was due to the improvement of the five senses, and almost opening the sixth sense.

Elias was the fiercest among them, holding a gigantic hundred-pound sledgehammer. He swung the hammer and smashed the heads of the monsters into pulp. The strength he exerted was unreal. In the group of 20 people he was admired and idolized. Seeing how strong he was, they couldn't help but let out a breath of admiration.

"Don't just look, attack!" Elias said fiercely.

"Yes!" they responded firmly and went back to attacking the monsters.

After that, Rat and the rest worked together in sync. The people outside were amazed at what they were seeing. The speed and strength of this group of people were out of the ordinary; it was superior to everything they had seen before.

Manu (Manuela) used a bow and arrow. It was a bit cliché, and even retrograde, but it was more effective than current weapons, mainly because the arrows were made from monster bones and the bow and arrow rope was made from monster tendons. So all in all, it was very powerful.

The army had already arrived at the site, but they paled in comparison to the group that had been trained by Elias.

"Captain Elias, who are they?" Another uniformed army captain recognized Elias and asked in amazement.

"They are a group of special people trained by Luan Dimas." This information was not necessary to be hidden. Luan had already said that if he thought it was appropriate, he could speak, so Elias answered sincerely.

"Oh..." The captain had a slight impression of Luan, since his name was being talked about a lot during the exercise, mainly by the elite army troops who were trained by the Generals. "Interesting."

Elias rested his big sledgehammer on his shoulder and said, "Yes, in fact, he is quite interesting."

What the captain standing there did not know was that Elias himself disdained him. He realized that this man just thought that Luan was someone rich and very lucky. However, was that so? Elias laughed and didn't explain.

With heavy steps, Elias immediately ran towards a monster and went down with the sledgehammer.

*Booom!*

A booming sound echoed and the monster's head turned into a brain booger.

The captain who spoke to Elias before swallowed his saliva dry. It was amazing how strong Elias was now.

'Damn it, I don't doubt that after this he'll be promoted...' The army captain pursed his lips in disgust. He was green with envy at the present strength of Elias.

Priscilla Araújo was tall with blond hair. She wore a large and broad sword and exercised a superior strength, even when put up against the men of the group. When she wielded her heavy sword she easily cut through her enemy. She was fearless on the battlefield, and many of the soldiers admired her as they watched her fight the monsters.

Of course, because she was such an incredible woman, as beautiful as she was, many of the men were afraid to approach her. They did not know why they felt inferior. In any case, she was very strong, perhaps losing only to Elias in a challenge of strength.

Two beams of light shone, and the bodies of two ogres were beheaded. Holding two swords, Renato Lopes crouched on the floor with blood dripping from both swords. Of Elias's group, he was the fastest. His speed and elasticity made him the best assassin in the group. He was the one who killed the most in the group, even more than Elias.

"Ha, very slow, very slow indeed!" Well, his only problem was that he was a little narcissistic and loved to see blood. Renato Lopes was tall and dark with brown eyes and short hair.

"Talk less and kill more," Elias said to him.

"Tsk, I killed more than you..." Renato murmured under his breath.

"Did you say something?" Elias looked at him with his sharp, defiant eyes while holding his giant sledgehammer.

"No sir!" Renato shivered. He may have been bold, but he did not have the courage to provoke Elias' fury.

Seeing this, the soldiers respect Elias even more.

"Even though he is strong, does he still not fear Captain Elias?"

"Captain Elias may be the slowest, but isn't he the strongest yet?"

The soldiers were immensely proud when they looked in the direction of Elias.

For the next two hours, the army, along with Elias's group, cleaned up the entire San Jose region. Now all the monsters were dead and the soldiers could celebrate.

"He finished! We fucking won!"
