Aurek gazed at the warrior before him — a figure far larger than any Mountain Shieldbearer.
The man wore a half-horned helm, his crimson armor gleaming darkly under the light.
A massive shield rested in one hand, a battle axe in the other.
His face was carved in stern determination, commanding respect without a word.
He grew stronger at an astonishing pace.
Unlike the Mountain Shieldbearers, his greatest distinction lay in his terrifying offensive power.
His level surpassed them by one whole tier, his strength eclipsing even the 7th-rank Doomsday Warriors.
"Greetings, my lord!" The Berserker struck his chest with his fist, the sound echoing like distant thunder.
Aurek studied him for a moment before speaking.
"I grant you the name War Bear. You shall guard the Gate of Jade and command all Mountain Shieldbearers."
"As you command!"
…
Crimson Hills.
