At this time, Emery was surprised to find that his injuries had healed. He was aware of the extent of his injuries. He would never have followed them to the reception room if he did not want to put up a strong front for Delia’s sake. He had been struggling. However, Philip's seemingly ordinary pill actually healed his injuries. Emery changed his view about Philip. At first, he thought Philip was a young talent and a man worth following. Now, he felt that Philip was not human. He was a god. Only a god could come up with such an amazing pill. Emery stood up and knelt to Philip. Philip was shocked by Emery’s actions. Delia and Aslan were dumbfounded too. Kneeling was an extremely sincere way of expressing gratitude no matter where they were. Philip was confused. He simply got rid of the Pill Guild, but the problem was not completely resolved yet. Why would Emery make such a grand gesture? Philip quickly helped Emery up. Emery looked at Philip and grabbed th
In a nutshell, victory was in sight, and there was no way the Pill Guild would choose to back off that easily. Although Emery knew that they would eventually make a comeback, it was a matter of time. Given enough time, even a piece of metal could turn into a fine sword. “Did you make the pill just now?” Emery solemnly asked Philip. He knew that Philip was that talent. Philip was the one who could lead the Smith Guild to glory. Philip did not deny it. Since he gave Emery a pill, it proved that he had acknowledged Emery. Philip could hardly develop a force on his own. His initial thought was to build his force from scratch. However, that was easier said than done. Although time passed in the blink of an eye to a practitioner, it would take at least several decades to groom a worthy pool of practitioners. Rather than wasting time grooming them slowly, it was better to take over an existing force. Besides, Philip did not intend to take the Smith Guild as his own. He
Delia was a simple and kind person who had a good relationship with everyone, so they were willing to help her when she was in trouble. In the past, the young sirs of each guild would have been here to attack the reclusive guild already, but things were different now. They were in a pickle too, so they could hardly bother about someone else. After reaching an agreement, Philip informed Emery about his pills. As Emery was one of his own now, Philip kept nothing from him. Although the Smith Guild specialized in weapon smithing, they dabbled in formations and alchemy too. However, alchemy was too difficult to master. Practice depended on the individual, but the Smith Guild did not even have a dedicated master in alchemy. At first, the Smith Guild thought that everything was interlinked. As long as they mastered something, they could replicate the same in other areas. However, the difference between smithing and alchemy was extremely huge. On top of that, the members of the
Aslan quickly set up a room with Delia and two other guild members and had a great time. After a while, Aslan finally remembered that he had something to do. Video games were really detrimental. He smacked his head. If he did not get it done today, it might have an impact on things and delay the progress with the reclusive guilds. Aslan quickly put down his phone and went to work. The private chat between Philip and Emery also came to an end. “I’ll leave these pills with you. I’m here to give you something anyway.” Philip handed a large box of pills to Emery. He knew that Emery was his main troop. He could not deal with the Pill Guild on his own. Once the Pill Guild settled down, they would come after him again. Philip could only hold them back for now. Once his pill-making method became public, things might get difficult. There were many young and talented people nowadays, and the pills he made were sold in large quantities. Someone was sure to dissect and st
“It’ll be too late If something really happens. As for the rest, I’ll make other arrangements.” Philip spoke to Emery in secret. He told Emery about selling and auctioning the pills, and Emery was very quick on the uptake. He mastered everything proficiently and was more meticulous about certain things. Philip was very pleased with Emery. Barring any accidents, all the pills Philip made would be sold through the Smith Guild from now on. Philip gave Emery some pills. Since the Pill Guild wanted to seize the Smith Guild, Philip would take over the Smith Guild first. After everything was done, Philip obtained a note from one of the members. “This looks exactly like a scam. Tell everyone not to trust this note or app!” Philip had to admit that the content of the note was very tempting, but he knew it was just a scam. This note was nothing but a scheme made up by the Pill Guild. They wanted to use this method to separate the guild from Philip. This idea was rather naïv
“I decided to go with you to speak to the other guilds. I’m afraid they’ve been brainwashed by now,” Philip said helplessly. He made a prediction and understood many things. Although his fortune-telling ability was not as good as that of the Zucker family, he could somewhat find something. Skeeter seemed a little worried and said in exaggeration that if this matter was not handled well, everything would end in destruction. Philip marveled at Skeeter’s wild imagination. The Pill Guild's objective was not to destroy the world but simply to control the members. Leaders and elders of major guilds would not fall for this trick, but the members were different. They were weak and had limited resources. Young people nowadays could not stay away from their mobile phones, and practitioners were no exception. Philip looked at the number on the phone that was still growing and scowled. At this time, Aslan quietly slipped away from the game he was playing with Delia. He was su
If Aslan had not wasted some time playing games with Delia, he would not have been late. ‘I must find a chance to compete with him!’ Aslan thought, his fighting spirit surging. Fennel did not say a word until they reached the Smith Guild. “Don't think about it, I won't compete with you. I comprehended all my tracking and concealment techniques on my own.” After saying this, he disappeared in front of Aslan. Aslan felt embarrassed, afraid that Fennel had misunderstood his intention. Aslan did not want to challenge Fennel for real. He simply wanted to see who was better between them. Aslan quickly chased after Fennel, trying to explain. When he found Fennel, he was already making his report to Philip. “They're gathered at this location. I didn’t expect them to occupy a cave.” Fennel frowned. They must have taken many lives in the process. “Their wild ambitions are still burning strong. They’ll definitely turn up at the Smith Guild again.” Fennel heard a lot of ne
The Pill Guild was surprised to discover that Philip was not famous in Highford at all, making it difficult to find any information about him. Even Mila Clarke, who looked like a nice girl but was actually a devil in disguise, was more famous than Philip. The people from the Pill Guild quickly found some inside information, which was released by Philip on purpose. The elder of the Pill Guild returned to the cave to report his findings to Maurice. He went to great lengths to get this information. “Guild Leader, I finally figured out the situation!” he quickly told Maurice what he knew. The others stared at him keenly, waiting to unveil Philip’s air of mystery. “He’s just a casual practitioner. He doesn’t belong to any guild at all! His family members are ordinary people in the secular world. They're his weakness!” After saying this, he pulled a woman over. This was a family member of Philip whom he captured after he received the information. The news could easily be
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
