It was unknown when...

Even Maxwell hadn't noticed it...

The King's Seal was undergoing a transformation like some sort of video game item. It was changing due to some sort of energy interference.

Dragon Execution Array!

An array that the ancestors of the gnomes created, and had once killed a legendary dragon.

The array's fame had resounded throughout the continent and was recorded in many old manuscripts, but no one had actually personally seen it.

To the point that...

Even members of the gnome race believed the array had been lost through the passage of time.

No one was able to engrave it!

They never imagined Asher would be able to recreate it, so it looks like his research into arrays had reached an unprecedented level! His comprehension of arrays was so strong that the title of Grandmaster cannot be used to describe him any longer.

Little did people know that Asher had comprehended the esoterics of the Dragon Execution Array a long time ago.

He slowly learned and compounded upon its powers!

This was Asher's last trump card; a chess move to have everyone perish together!

His hands formed the last seal before he slapped down with the weight of a mountain. Eight mysterious-looking runes appeared on the ground and started extending themselves outwards like crazy. The runes then started resonating with the star-like lights floating in the air, instantly causing the entire gnome territory to start shaking violently. Houses started collapsing left and right!

It was as if the end of the world had arrived!

At this time...

Nearly everyone had given up hope.

Because they understood that this array was unbreakable. The enormous power behind the array was something no one could survive. The minimalistic gnome race was going to forever disappear from the world this day. Their miserable defeat ten thousand years ago had made them hide in the depths of Eden, but at least they managed to survive for ten thousand years.

The human race didn't continue to exterminate them.

The irony was that they were now going to be exterminated by their own kind.

How laughable was this?

Fernando slumped onto the ground while he stared at the sky with an absent look. He felt that all hope was lost while mumbling: "Father, mother, your son will be seeing you soon. Our gnome race is over; gone forever."

There was only deathly silence in his heart.

Without any traces of fluctuations.

The surrounding gnomes were just like Fernando, with eyes filled with lifelessness. They were dully looking off in random directions and mumbling: "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

Some of the gnomes were hugging their families tightly.

Asher was still laughing like crazy. And the moment the Dragon Execution Array was progressing further into its activation, he laughed even more ferociously. He then shouted savagely: "Hahaha… everyone is going to be buried with me! Everyone will accompany me to the burial, hahaha… I am the strongest gnome in our entire history! Hahaha… all you ants should just go die!"

Insanity! Incomparable insanity!

Asher looked completely insane right now.

No one bothered with him any longer, and some didn't even bother cursing him either.

Because he too had to die along with them.

Everyone present had to die.

Despair!

The gnomes in every part of the tribal territory were filled with despair, and their hearts were like withered ash.

Everyone had lost all hope except for one person...

Maxwell!

His heart was very calm while his spiritual senses were paying attention to his surroundings. He believed that no matter when or the obstacles involved, one could not fall into despair. Because once you're in despair, that means you have completely lost. And Maxwell had been losing for twenty years in his past life.

He cannot lose anymore in this life!

Maxwell's eyes turned fierce as he coldly glared at Asher. He then shouted, "You want us to accompany you to the burial? Then you should go to hell first!"

"Black Tortoise!"

"Kill him!"

At this moment...

The Black Tortoise was shivering. Even though Maxwell could control its will, it was currently terrified and had no courage to battle. It was being crushed by the pressure of the Dragon Execution Array. If the array was capable of killing those divine dragons, then how do you think it felt right now?

Even the unbridled Black Tortoise was in despair.

It was shivering and kneeling on the ground without rushing at Asher.

Asher started laughing.

He was laughing with utmost savageness before pointing at Maxwell and ridiculing: "A lowly human like you, of course, doesn't know the power of the Dragon Execution Array. Not to mention Black Tortoise, even if a real divine dragon came, all it could do is await its death. Hahaha…"

"Bam!"

Thunderous, ear-piercing sounds were now heard in every corner of the gnome territory, and a crushing pressure started appearing in the air. An ancient power started condensing in the air and started to spread through every nook and cranny.

At this moment, death was descending soon!

"Hahaha…"

"The Dragon Execution Array is starting to activate! You bunch of ants should all just die for me!" Asher screamed in frenzy with his face all flushed red.

Maxwell was irritated.

Extremely irritated!

He was irritated with Asher's unbridled arrogance and at the gnome race's despair.

Maxwell flexed his right hand, and the Vampire Blade appeared. He then angrily shouted in the air: "I refuse to believe this! An array is engraved by a person, so I refuse to believe it doesn't have a weakness! I refuse to believe that I can't chop it apart!"

"Level 3 Overdrive!"

Maxwell leapt into the air and aimed at the starry lights up in the sky before chopping forth.

The blade aura shook the skies!

The blade's power was like the sea, but the starry lights did not react, as if it had devoured everything.

Fernando sighed while saying, "Boss, it's no use. All attacks are useless inside here now. An array of this level cannot be broken by anyone, and there are no special methods to crack it. Even a God ranker present would not be able to do anything. Unless one of our progenitors descends onto this plane of existence… but how could that be possible?"

"Hahaha…"

"Little mongrel, you seem to know your stuff." Asher started laughing before continuing: "But our progenitor died over ten thousand years ago, so there's no one present in this world that's capable of cracking this array. This is your ending for not letting me become the king! Hahaha…"

Maxwell frowned and shouted, "Little squirt! You cannot give up, no matter what difficulties you face. Giving up means you're admitting defeat! Look how smug he is acting; it's all because you guys are despairing that allows him to act this way!"

"He has to die just like the rest of you, so why do you need to show fear?"

"What's so scary about dying?!"

---

There are many things scarier than dying.

So what's there to fear about dying?!

Fernando contemplated what Maxwell was saying. He then stood up and laughed: "That's right! What's so scary about dying? Asher, you're also going to die inside this array. Hahaha…"

Maxwell's words inspired the surrounding gnomes.

Since they were going to die, they might as well go out with a bang.

They all started standing up tall with a very calm look.

Also at this time...

The gnomes started giving off a light like they were fireflies. The light orbs then started converging towards Maxwell's body.

Maxwell couldn't understand what was going on.

Some place within him, a power started pulsing and crazily absorbing the lights that were approaching. His body then started giving off a light as well and started resonating with the other lights.

Maxwell reached in and exclaimed with shock: "It's the King's Seal?!"

A strange-looking image on the seal started moving, and the power of the Dragon Execution Array was suddenly being suppressed!

The moment the seal was finished absorbing the light orbs...

Unconsciously, Maxwell tossed out the King's Seal, and it exploded in the air.

"Bam!"

The power from the explosion directly shattered the Dragon Execution Array! It had been broken!

At the same time, Maxwell roared out fiercely. He raised the Vampire Blade above him and stepped forth. Backed up with the power of level 3 Overdrive, Maxwell chopped towards the confused Asher. "Give me a big loot explosion!"
