All at once, the lightning bolts coming from the Holy Wave of Thunder turned red as the power of the lightning strikes grew in power. The lightning bolts struck the blood lake mercilessly, making the blood in it boil and evaporate. Within just a few minutes, the lake had dried up. Suelyn let out an agonized cry, her gigantic figure beginning to shrink as her power waned. Just then, Eileen roared sharply as ten thousand swords soared through the air and pierced right through Suelyn. Suelyn whipped her sword around, trying to deflect Eileen's attacks, but a good number of Eileen's swords still pierced through Suelyn's body. At the same time, Constantine's holy flame seared a huge hole in her waist. Suelyn swayed as she collapsed, her body shrinking quickly. She finally looked like a human being, lying on the ground unmoving. The Sea of Blood's barrier disappeared as Eileen and Constantine heaved a sigh of relief. They turned around and walked up to Wilbur. The three of th
Eileen's expression darkened as well. Yet she gathered herself quickly enough, flashing a smile. "I was just joking! Come on, I don't even really care about stuff like this. You can have it if you want." Constantine sneered coldly, turning around. Wilbur barked out a laugh. He leaped into the lake and scooped up the Blood Embryo, then tossed it into his demiplane before returning to shore. The three of them then walked up to Suelyn. Suelyn had returned to her original form, a slender woman with stunning features. Her face was pale, however, and wounds littered her body. She was on her last breath. "She's still alive?" Eileen exclaimed. Constantine sighed. "She won't be for much longer." Just then, Suelyn looked at the three of them as she flashed a pained laugh. "I'm finally free. Thank you." She closed her eyes after that, taking her last breath. Wilbur frowned at Suelyn's corpse wordlessly. Eileen said, "The Skull Cult's finally ended, and the remaining gangs un
The sun was almost out by the time Wilbur and Ryder made it back to Sealake Island. Wilbur took out the Strongwill Pill and swallowed it. The pill was good for strengthening his body so that he would not be overwhelmed by using too much energy and collapsing. Ryder went to his office and sat down in front of his computer. He opened a new document and began typing away. Not long after that, a report was typed up with its contents as follows: 'Sanctuary level. Possesses an enormous amount of spirit energy. Thunder-centric powers. Has some form of reddish special energy. Type unknown.' He sent the report out, waiting until it was delivered before deleting the record. He then opened up another file and began to report on the Skull Cult incident. … Over at a random hotel. Eileen took a shower and lay on the bed in her bathrobe. She took her phone out, flipping to a hidden photo album where she pulled up a picture of a man and a woman in their thirties. The man looked rathe
"Constantine. Cardinal of the Church of Holy Illuminati. Got into an argument with the higher-ups of the church five years ago and was even said to have battled fiercely against the judges sentencing him. He was expelled from the church by the Pope, but not stripped of his title and powers as Cardinal. He's been wandering the world after that and entered Dasha two years ago.""He was allowed to enter the country?""Of course. The Church of Holy Illuminati is a legal organization, and their members' identities are all legal as well. Constantine is a Sanctuary level cultivator, and we kept tabs on him at first. But nothing out of the ordinary really happened, and he's even been helping to heal and save people in impoverished neighborhoods. We stopped eyeing him after that.""Ah, I see. Alright. Thank you, Beverly.""It's just my duty, sir.""Bye.""Goodbye. I look forward to speaking to you again."Wilbur hung up the call, falling deep into thought. Neither of those two were ord
It was a desert without a person in sight within a thousand-kilometer radius. Yet in the middle of this desert was a terrifying place. It was the Skeleton Fields, formed by countless skeletons. In the middle of the Skeleton Fields was a throne made of skulls. A tall figure sat on the skull throne, hunched over one of the throne's armrests as if he were half-asleep. The figure was wearing a red cloak, his face hidden in the hood of the cloak, so it was hard to see his face. He seemed to have fused with the skull throne and the Skeleton Fields for an unknown period of time. Not long after, an elder in gray robes walked up to the skull throne with the help of a cane forged out of bones, and then got to his knees. "Oh mighty Blood God, the evolution of the seventh Blood Embryo has failed and disappeared." The man on the skull throne did not move. A low and dull voice rang through the air. "Is that so? I guess no one is powerful enough yet for the power of the Blood Embryo
Wilbur frowned. "What's the matter?" "Some people have had too much to drink, and they're about to start a fight," Faye responded. "I'll be right there." Wilbur set down his glass and got up to leave. Faron hurried to follow behind him. The both of them got into the same car and drove straight to the stadium. The concert was on a smaller scale. It was held just to promote Cape International's new commercial district project. Despite that, there were still thousands in the crowd. There would be trouble if anything happened. Wilbur and Faron rushed to the stadium and were let backstage upon confirming their identities. Faye was seen speaking to a pretty lady. Faron pointed at the lady. "That's Sammy Shandon." Wilbur nodded. He came up to the stage, glancing out at the crowd. All he could see was the audience overwhelmed with emotion, yelling for a refund. The security guards were doing their best to maintain order, but there were several thousand people in the au
"What? Are you really going to arrest me? I'm warning you! Don't mess with me." Barry was holding his ground as well. Just then, Jose whispered into the leader's ear, "Just make sure he leaves. Miss Yves doesn't wish for more trouble to come out of something minor like this." The leader nodded, and said to Barry, "I'll walk you out, but I won't be as kind if you cause any more trouble." Barry scoffed, then turned to leave. The leader followed closely behind him until they were out of the stadium. Wilbur snorted. Some people really thought that they could do whatever they wanted just because they had a bit of money. Jose came out of the lounge, hurrying to bow to Wilbur. Wilbur patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad." "It's my duty to do so," Jose said at once. Wilbur smiled and went backstage with Jose. Just then, Sammy had finally agreed to return to the stage after Faye had spoken to her. The music started, and Sammy took the stage in a stunning outfit. The crowd
"Oh, really?" Wilbur asked. Faron nodded. "Yup." Wilbur fell silent for a while before saying. "It's illegal. Aren't you going to do anything about it?" "What can I do, man?" Faron shrugged. "It's all organized under a legal front. We wouldn't be able to get anything even if we launched an investigation. Besides, anyone who can hold an auction like this would probably be someone with significant influence in the system. Surely you know that better than me." Wilbur chuckled. Yes, not everything was as easy to control as it seemed. "Well, I don't mind taking a trip if it really is as good as you make it out to be," Wilbur said. Faron smiled. "I'll give you Ted Dominic's contact. Call him in two nights and he'll take you there." "I need to call someone for this?" Wilbur asked. "Of course. An illegal auction like this isn't open to just anyone. Ted's a pretty well-known broker around these parts, specializing in getting people access to events like this. He's got a pretty i
