At this time, the little golden White Marsh took a few steps in the air and jumped on the head of the exotic abyssal beast. As it stomped with its hooves, the beast howled, and the cry of pain spread far away. The hunting party lurking in the distance was stunned by this sound. โBoss, this doesn't sound like a human being. Could they have killed the beast?โ The guy with the scythe was talking to a guy with a saber. The guy with a saber was the one who spoke to Philip earlier. He was also the captain of this hunting party. He looked in the direction of the exotic abyssal beast and Philip with a solemn expression. He said, โI donโt think so. You should know how powerful that tentacle monster is. Not to mention its attack, its regeneration ability alone isnโt something ordinary people can handle.โ Hearing that, the guy with the scythe nodded. He should be the one who knew this abyssal tentacle monster the best because he almost died under the hands of one before. The sit
With Caelum Sword clenched tightly in his hand, Philip walked deeper into the depths of the forest. He would leave a little something for the hunting party. After all, he had to return the favor. Philip already had a plan in mind. With the carcass of the exotic beast here, the hunting party was sure to check on the outcome. However, Philip and Panther were definitely not as familiar with the forbidden abyss compared to that hunting party. He could only wait for the opportunity to take revenge. After all, Philip did not think that they were here just to mess with Panther and him. Although it was a bit dim here, Philip could still see the path, albeit vaguely. He continued to walk forward one step at a time. Without the interference of the hunting party, Philip and Panther did not encounter any beasts, merely a few random insects and such. Philip found this a little odd. They had already reached the depths of the forbidden abyss, so it was impossible for them not to bump in
The man seemed confident when he spoke. After hearing his words, Philip frowned, while Panther looked surprised and uncertain. Although the manโs words might not be completely true, Panther saw with his own eyes how the stone had turned into a blue flame when Philip knocked it down. Philip sneered and said, โEveryone will die? Thatโs too good for you.โ He snorted coldly and approached the man with a scythe. Seeing this, the man with a scythe started feeling a little scared. He was not afraid of Philip but feared setting off that chain explosion he spoke about. If they really fought here, they would die without their bodies intact. Philip forced him into a corner. Suddenly, the scythe in the manโs hand began to change. He shook it lightly and a huge blade appeared. It was just like the Grim Reaperโs scythe. โIโm warning you, kiddo. If you really trigger an explosion, none of us can leave here alive.โ Philip narrowed his eyes and chuckled. He did not stop but continued
The man never thought that Philip would charge at him at this moment, which was simply a reckless move. However, Philip did not care at all because he was aware of the other partyโs tricks. Philip was already on guard and knew the man must be trying to lure an exotic beast over. Philipโs counter-attack came so fast that the member of the hunting party had no time to react at all. Philip pressed his sword blade across the other partyโs neck. โAre you thinking of doing the same old trick by drawing a beast here?โ Philip asked. The guy wanted to say something at first, but seeing that Philip had seen through his trick, he had no way to hide it now. Even so, he was unwilling to give up. After being a member of the hunting party in the forbidden abyss for so long, it was impossible for him to walk around here freely if he had no means at all. โDon't think that you can threaten me. You have no idea what I just did. At worst, weโll die here together.โ Philip merely sneered. No
At this time, a woman walked out. Her face was stern with murderous air. Hearing her words, the boss nodded and said, โIโm afraid heโs in trouble.โ โLetโs see whatโs happening.โ The group of six headed in the direction of the devouring beast, but when they arrived, they discovered something astounding. The devouring beast was out of its lair, its round body covered with purple lines. Its jaws were wide open, and Old Siete was hanging right in front of it. Seeing this scene, the six members of the hunting party were dumbfounded. However, no one dared to make a sound for fear of harming Old Siete. The boss of the hunting party looked grave. He could tell that Old Siete was deliberately hung in front of the devouring beast, and someone with such strength was not a person they could deal with. After all, few people could tame the devouring beast. Although the devouring beast seemed to have no other powerful features except for its mouth, everyone in the hunting party kn
Philip spoke to the captain bluntly. No matter what the captain was up to or how dangerous he thought that place was, Philip would not give him the right to refuse. Of course, if they did not care about Old Sieteโs life, everything would be naught. โThis is no joking matter. The danger there is beyond your imagination, and you can only find the abyss golden beetles after entering the forbidden fortress.โ Hearing that, Philip felt that he had to go there. Since there was a forbidden fortress here, someone must have been there before, and his motherโs clues might be hidden inside. Philip said, โYou donโt have anything to consider. I want you to take the risk, and Iโll be going with you too.โ Hearing that, the captain of the hunting party realized that something must have attracted Philip for him to appear here and want to enter the forbidden fortress in the depths. His mind started racing again. A person who could control the devouring beast in the abyss must be quite pow
Philip felt quite emotional at the sight of this fortress because the style was similar to the fortresses in his original world. However, it looked very old and dilapidated now. Only a small section still retained its complete shape. โWeโve reached the deepest part of the forbidden abyss now. Once we pass through this fortress, weโll have completely entered the abyss. Itโs a passage connecting us to another world, but I donโt think we can use it anymore.โ Hearing the captain's explanation, Philip simply nodded. In this place, he could sense a different atmosphere. That should be the abyss passage connected to another world mentioned by the captain. Before they entered this huge fortress, Philip had already sensed from the outside that there should be many powerful exotic abyssal beasts inside. In a flash, he discovered many things inside that constantly sent out danger signals. The hunting party did not seem to receive the signals, but Philip could clearly feel them. Wi
At this moment, everyone from the hunting party followed Philip and rushed into the fortress. Those lizard men gave chase. However, they obviously seemed more frantic now as if they were afraid that Philip and the others would enter the fortress. Seeing this, the hunting party ran faster. Suddenly, a space gate appeared in the sky. Philip narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this gate. The captain of the hunting party shouted, โIs there a space mage around?โ The so-called space mage was a special profession in the land of the other shore. Space mages were proficient in space magic and powerful practitioners of elemental talents. Almost every space mage was the prime target other forces vied for. As the captain spoke, several people walked out of the space gate. Philip recognized them immediately. One was Young Master Cosby, while the other one was the captain of Draco Corps, but Philip had no idea why they were together. Philip halted. Upon seeing those people
โPhilip'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,โ Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. โYes, 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.โ 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. โTake this or Iโm afraid youโll collapse soon.โ He could notice Alainโs condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. โForget it. I wonโt hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldnโt be in this miserable state if the rabbit werenโt 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 guildโs requirements. โOkay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and donโt let us down,โ 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. โWow, this is amazing!โ 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
โDonโt worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.โ The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. โSir, I think Iโm getting stronger!โ 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 anyoneโs imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. โI believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.โ 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. โFather, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that itโll 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? โAre you serious? It canโt be that simple.โ Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. โIf you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I donโt mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.โ The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. โIn that case, Iโll give it a try. Let me find someone.โ Alain did not fully trust the hooded manโs 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
โI wonโt be joining your guild, but I donโt mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that youโre quite strong, so you donโt need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I donโt think youโll face a problem.โ 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.โฆ 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. โHey, youโre finally here. I thought I wouldnโt see you again.โ Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
โFather, what happened to you? Donโt scare me!โ Hogster sat by Alainโs 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. โThis is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.โ Alain almost died in anger over his sonโs remark. โHogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. Youโll make a name for yourself if you do this.โ Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, โFather, although Iโm quite strong, you canโt 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. โYouโre quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, letโs hear them.โ 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. โWhy are you here?โ 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. โOf course, Iโm here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?โ 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. โHey, 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.โ The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alainโs flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. โI thought you wouldnโt consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.โ 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. โI donโt 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. โTell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If youโre here to help me, letโs have an open discussion.โ Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. โI 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 youโll win the championship, taking one of the top spots wonโt be a problem.โ The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this manโs 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. โThereโs no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?โ Alain knew that
