Philip muttered under his breath, feeling extremely puzzled. He raised his hand and struck the woman. With a bang, the woman flew out, smashed through a wall, and fell into the rubble. Seeing that the woman did not stand up immediately, Philip heaved a sigh of relief. He then looked at the two women whose situation was unknown and pondered. He struck them with an energy force that poured into their bodies. In an instant, the two women’s complexions recovered a little, and their breathing became steadier. Although they did not wake up, they would not die for the time being. After taking care of this, Philip pondered the woman’s situation. She was covered in runes, and her limbs were reconnected. It seemed that the woman had no idea what was going on either. “This is weird.” Philip muttered, unable to figure out what was going on. As Philip pondered, the ruins exploded and the woman appeared in front of Philip. She was no longer the cold and aloof person from before. Due to t
Not long after, the sound stopped in front of Philip. After some time, a voice rang. “Take him and the two women back. As for the one who ran away, I'll deal with it.” The voice seemed female, but Philip was not very sure because he heard it when he was in a daze. Soon, he completely lost consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, Philip slowly woke up. He looked around and realized that he seemed to be in a prison cell with a small window and a bed, nothing else. “Damn it, what happened? How did I end up here?” Philip rubbed his forehead. His memory was a mess. He only remembered that he seemed to be attacked by runes before he lost consciousness. He knew nothing after that. Oh, he seemed to have heard a woman’s voice later, but he could not remember it. “Damn, this is a waste of time. If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone after that wolfman. Coming to this place is really a nuisance.” Philip muttered and could not help rubbing his forehead. The door sudden
After walking a fair distance, Philip stopped, looked back, and found no trace of the place he left before. He was relieved. He was just afraid of trouble. After thinking about it, Philip looked at the time and found that it was still far from dawn, so he simply leaned against a tree to rest. The few fights earlier had tired him out. At this time, the woman watched Philip from a distance. There was a trace of doubt in her eyes, but she watched quietly without a word. After some time, Philip stood up slowly, took a deep breath, and looked back instinctively. For some reason, he felt someone watching him from behind, which made him a little uncomfortable. “Maybe it's a hallucination?” Philip mumbled after he explored with his senses. He got up and started walking. He was quite interested in the two sisters who could transform, but now that he encountered this incident, he dispelled his previous thoughts. If he could run into those two women again, he could think about it then
“What do you want to talk about? Let's be frank. I have other things to do here.” Philip said blandly, and the other party chuckled lightly upon hearing this. “I’m just curious how you got involved with that woman. The woman who tried to imprison you with runes isn’t a good person.” The woman said with a smile, and Philip was taken aback by her words. He briefly told her what happened, and the woman nodded thoughtfully. “So you don't know each other at all, do you?” The woman asked, and Philip nodded, feeling a little depressed. Damn it, why did he feel like a criminal now? “Cut the crap. Who are you, and why are you after me time and again? I’ve never messed with you.” Philip said coldly, and the woman nodded upon hearing that. “Indeed, you’ve never messed with me, but I have to be cautious because that woman is not an ordinary person. A huge organization with terrifying strength stands behind her. We’ve been trying to track down their whereabouts.” The woman explain
Hearing the woman's words and seeing her teasing expression, Philip realized that he had met his match. He was already shameless enough, but this woman was even more shameless, and her strength was not weak either. She resisted one blow from him, but nothing happened to her, and she could even joke about it, which Philip never expected! Without further ado, Philip took out Caelum Sword. Flames spread all over the sword in an instant, and Philip stabbed the sword into the ground. Flames poured into the ground along the sword, and the ground began to crack. Hot waves of heat gushed out and spread rapidly toward that woman. Seeing this, her teasing expression disappeared. She slammed the ground with her palm, and a cold light exploded. A gust of frost burst out from the woman's hand, spreading to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning everything into ice sculptures. On Philip's side, it was just the opposite. Everything touched by the heat wave was reduc
“This is the token of my organization. If you need help in the future or if you meet someone like that woman again, you can contact us through this token. We’re very powerful and can help you with many problems.” The woman explained, and Philip nodded upon hearing that. He took out the token that he got when he killed the woman's younger brother and tossed it to the woman. “This is the token I got from that woman's younger brother. It may be useful to you.” Philip explained before he turned and left. The woman looked at the token given by Philip before she turned around and left the forest without saying anything. Very soon, the mountain forest calmed down again, but it had become a wreck. Philip was on his way back. To be honest, he was a little stumped at this moment because he remembered what the woman said just now. A radius of a hundred miles was their organization’s territory, which meant that he was still at least a hundred miles away from the previous city. “Damn
“Hey, where did you come from?” Philip could not help but exclaim. He was shocked by this little guy. It was so elusive that he did not even notice it. Maybe he was careless the first time, but not noticing it the second time meant the problem lay with this little guy. It did not seem to be an ordinary cat! With that thought in mind, Philip grabbed the cat and looked at it carefully. The cat did not resist and allowed Philip’s touch. After watching for a long time, Philip found that the cat was indeed a little different. Its whole body was white, but gray patterns could be seen vaguely. It looked like a tabby cat, but its claws and teeth did not look like it. For a while, Philip could not figure out its breed either. Since Philip could not discover anything, he simply ignored it. The cat was cute, so he would keep it as a pet. It would probably not eat much, and he could pass time with it. Philip put it on his shoulder. The cat was well-behaved and did not move around. Phil
“Huh, don't think I don't know what you’re up to. Do you think we’re weak women and you can bully us at will? Do you think an apology is enough for touching my sister?” The woman pursed her lips and said. She looked very angry, and her chest heaved, making the hearts of the onlookers beat erratically. “Uh, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I just wanted to ask for directions. If I’ve offended you, please forgive me, or you can say the word if you need any compensation.” Philip knew he was in the wrong, so he was quite apologetic and was not angry at the woman’s words. After all, he did touch her by mistake. Alas, he should have looked carefully before doing anything next time. “Hmph, you make it seem like we're blackmailing you. What the hell is this?” The woman pursed her lips when she heard Philip's words and did not know how to respond. Finally, the woman Philip touched spoke up. “It’s fine. I don’t think you did it on purpose. Since you were asking so anxiously, where
“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
