Vataco laughed and said, “Apollo, don’t antagonize me. Your aggravation methods are useless. Today, I just want to watch you slowly be tortured to death! And that includes the Eastern man beside you.” Vataco’s evil eyes with killing intent landed on Philip, who was next to Fennel. Why did this unfamiliar figure possess such strength? With such strength, he could be considered one of the best among the 12 Sacred Halls of the West! Was the reason why the Hall of the Sun had developed so rapidly over the years? Was there another Sun God in the dark? Philip looked sideways at the evil and charming Vataco who stood at the top of the white castle in the distance. Using the rules of insight, he roughly gauged that Vataco’s strength was definitely in the fifth zone, but he could not determine whether it was the peak or the king of disciples. After all, Philip was not yet fully proficient in the control over the rules. Moreover, the other party obviously carried equipment that c
That was because Fennel had killed her brother, Gordon, with his hands. Gordon was the Holy Son and future heir of the Hall of Evil. He was the one with the highest chances of succeeding the Evil God. However, Gordon died in Fennel's hands. Since that day, Caroline studied desperately and trained to improve her strength. Finally, she got a chance to avenge her brother today! Likewise, Fennel looked at Caroline and laughed lightly. “Vataco is really generous enough to let you out. However, I’m most surprised that after not seeing you for three years, you’ve actually become the Holy Maiden of the Hall of Evil. Caroline, are you thinking of killing me with your own hands?” Caroline coldly pulled out the two golden scimitars engraved with devils from her waist and said, “Apollo, I’ll definitely kill you with my own hands to avenge my brother! If you don’t want to die a painful death today, give up resistance and surrender under my blades!” While saying that, Caroline licked h
Looking at the current situation, Fennel was in a passive mode while Caroline’s killing moves got more brutal, intense, and faster! If this continued, Fennel would be killed by Caroline sooner or later! However, everything was within Fennel’s grasp. In the past three years, Caroline had worked hard to hone her skills. It could be said she had reached the point that the two golden devil scimitars were extensions of her hands. All she wanted was to avenge her brother and wash away the Tapper family’s shame! The golden blades and Caroline's figure that was clad in black leather presented a dexterous and aggressive image. While being continuously attacked by Caroline for five minutes straight, Fennel maintained being on the defense. He only relied on physical techniques to dodge the attacks. At the same time, he observed Caroline's blade technique, as well as the subtle movements and angles of each strike to understand Caroline's weakness. Fennel was the first person who coul
Clatter! The two golden devil scimitars broke under Fennel’s Fusha longsword! Caroline’s hands still maintained the posture of holding the two scimitars and wanting to attack, but now, she was kneeling on one knee and dared not move! That was because the Fusha longsword in Fennel’s hand was only a centimeter away from Caroline’s fair neck! As long as Caroline made the slightest movement, this Fusha longsword would cut through her neck and kill her! It could be said that Fennel’s swordsmanship was perfect! His movements were done in one go! In just one strike, he took Caroline down directly! If Fennel wanted to, this strike could have penetrated Caroline’s neck directly and killed her on the spot! “W-Why? Why did I lose? I practiced so hard for three years. Why?” Caroline looked at the broken golden devil scimitars before she looked up at the tall figure with the sun behind his back! From her point of view, Fennel looked like a god at this moment. With the golden s
Fennel and Philip did not say a word and just looked coldly in the direction of the castle’s entrance. Their sharp gazes passed through the guards of the Hall of Evil, surging with a chilling and murderous intent! Behind the guards, three figures stood side by side. The three figures varied in height and strength, but their surging arrogance made everyone afraid to look at them directly. No one dared to make any predictions! Such domineering auras were arrogance that could only be developed by those who had remained in the top position for a long time. It radiated right from their very bones. It was impossible to fake. Moreover, there were kingly auras that flowed through them. Such kingly aura could be found on Fennel too, which was on the same level. At the gates of the white castle, the three figures stood proudly. Over the distance of a hundred meters, they made eye contact with Fennel. A burst of invisible sparks crackled in the air! This was the confrontation be
“So, Apollo, what do you think? You didn’t expect to see such a luxurious line-up, right? Hahaha, as I told you, I’ll kill you today no matter what. I’ve paid a huge price because of you. I hope you won’t let me down.” Vataco laughed, his face full of chills. Combined with his eyes that were full of murderous intent, it made people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts. After saying that, Vataco waved his hand, and the guards in the castle automatically parted to make way for the three gods. The three figures surged with fighting intent, as their eyes stared fixedly at Fennel and Philip. Fighting intent also erupted in Fennel’s eyes, his gaze becoming extremely hot. This unprecedented tense atmosphere caused the oxygen in the area to thin out. The guards of the Hall of Evil found it difficult to breathe. It was as though they were being strangled. The atmosphere in the area was stirred up by the four figures until it was on the verge of breaking! At this time, an
“Die in battle? Hehe, let’s see if you have the ability to do that, then.” Fennel sneered as if he was unconcerned about the combined forces of the three gods in front of him. Vataco’s face darkened at those words. Then, a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, “Apollo, do you really think you can escape under the joint efforts of the three of us? Is it with the help of your friend beside you? I’ve already seen through his strength just now. It’s not up to the standards of a god. Dealing with you and a kid who’s not a god will be a piece of cake for us.” Fennel smiled and glanced at the calm Philip beside him. He said, “They underestimate you.” Philip smiled. His eyes had been on Hades and Andrew from the beginning. “Hades, we finally meet,” Philip said at this moment. Hades, the King of the Underworld, had his arms crossed over his chest. He was burly and strong with a pair of icy eyes, looking just like the actual king of the underworld. It made p
Philip nodded calmly and said, “That’s right, just me.” “I’m quite interested. Is there any grudge between us?” Vataco asked with interest. Philip replied, “Do you know Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston?” Vataco frowned, thought for a long time, and said, “I have a little impression of them, but I’m not too familiar.” Philip chuckled and said, “A little impression is enough.” Vataco frowned with gloom in his eyes and said, “In that case, you should just die.” However, Philip smiled and said, “No, no. It’s you who’ll die. Such an honor is only suitable for Western gods like you.” Vataco raised his eyebrows with a cold sneer. “What a sharp tongue. This is against the main characteristic of you Eastern people—humbleness. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of strength you have to be so proud.” “You’ll see,” Philip said coldly. At the same time, soaring battle intent started to surge in Philip and Fennel. They slowly gathered power. The muscles and cells in their
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
