Maurice and his people had arrived at the Smith Guild. At first, they thought of attacking from the air, but they could not do so when they arrived in this area. It was difficult for them to walk, not to mention flying. Maurice was unwilling to give up and forced himself to remain standing. He would never kneel here. However, this was not a matter of sheer will but his physical ability. With a thud, Maurice fell to his knees. Everyone was shocked and hurried to help him up. They scowled as they found themselves kneeling next to Maurice the next second. They realized that they could no longer control their bodies. Maurice scowled as he guessed something. “Damn it, these people actually came up with a formation!” Maurice never expected this. Maurice was aware that the Smith Guild was learned in the art of formations, but he never thought that this formation was so powerful. Anyone wanting to attack them would be trapped inside, while anyone with peace of mind co
Having realized this, Emery was quite lighthearted. Whether the plan succeeded or not, he had nothing to fear with Philip around. At this time, Maurice was worried, and his people were panicking. They entered the formation by mistake, and everyone had suffered various wounds. This formation could attack them, resulting in various injuries. Everyone had the idea of retreating. They did not expect that a small formation could be so powerful. Delia was pleasantly surprised at their misery. So what if it was an ordinary formation? They could not escape from it. Everyone was frustrated about the formation around them. Maurice was all the angrier that this protection barrier was so powerful. “Damn it, why didn’t they use such a powerful formation earlier? Maurice said solemnly, trying to think of a way out. Everyone was flustered by his words. They would be dead if Maurice could not find a way out. Skeeter and Martha looked at each other as they stood behind the c
With their energy cores destroyed, there was no way they could continue practicing. Ordinary people could not make pills. Maurice could not bear losing half his members in one go. “Damn it, you went too far!” Maurice could not bear it anymore and started attacking the formation without qualms. He believed that as long as his attacks were stronger than the formation, he could escape. Philip and the others felt that they were very pitiful too. Seeing the heavy casualties, Philip deactivated the formation without hesitation. He did not expect that the formation he found in the book would be so powerful. This result had exceeded his imagination. The remaining opponents could hardly pose a threat to the Smith Guild now. The people trapped in the formation watched helplessly as Maurice attacked the formation frantically. Everyone pinned all their hopes on Maurice. Maurice was badly attacked by the formation and kept throwing up blood. Several of his ribs were broken.
“Philip, you'd better not push it too far.” Maurice gritted his teeth and scowled at the sight of his people behind him. Many of them died tragically. “I have to kill you to seek justice for my people.” Maurice was aware of his responsibilities. He would be doomed if he gave in. If he could not deal with the Smith Guild, he would lose his people’s trust. It would be a great blow to their dignity as a reclusive guild if they could not even handle some riffraff of the secular practice world. “The Pill Guild is a well-known existence in the reclusive practice world. I’ll never allow you to lord over us!” His wounds had stopped bleeding, and his scars looked very dramatic. However, no one from the Smith Guild sympathized with him. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. When the Pill Guild used their strength to overwhelm others, did they consider other people’s feelings? They were simply unwilling to accept the fact that they were the loser instead of the winner.
Emery was watching the excitement, but he was taken aback by Delia’s enamored behavior. As a bystander, he could not bear seeing that. Emery coughed as a reminder to Delia, but she continued staring at Philip in admiration as if she did not hear him at all. In desperation, Emery had no choice but to nudge Delia on her head. “Stop looking at others like that!” Delia smiled in embarrassment at her father’s words. She thought she was stealthy enough, but everything was out in the open. “Oh no, was I that obvious?” Delia did not pay attention to the fight at all, which was out of her hands. She simply had to act pretty and wait for victory. As everyone was waiting for the next step, the members of the Pill Guild escorted two people over. The members of the Pill Guild were already frightened out of their wits by the scene just now, and their legs were trembling. Although they were practitioners, they were the weakest bunch of all. At first, they thought the guild l
Martha shouted frantically, afraid that Philip would give up on her. Skeeter glanced at Martha in displeasure. This woman was really annoying. Maurice condoned Martha’s yelling. The more excited she was, the more anxious Philip would be. “Stop shouting. This is the territory of the Smith Guild. Can’t you see how miserable these people look? They’ll definitely let us go. With my status here, what can they do?” Skeeter said in dissatisfaction, feeling very disdainful of Martha's cowardly behavior. Martha frowned at his sarcasm. “Hehe, when they first captured you, your behavior was worse than mine. Why were you not disgusted when you knelt and begged for mercy?” Martha was an arrogant person by nature. After enduring so much fear, she finally vented. Hearing their argument, Maurice glanced at Philip triumphantly. “Haha, Philip and Emery, as you can see, your people are completely at our mercy. If you want to save them, let’s have a chat. I won’t give in to you this time
Aslan could not stand this annoying woman any longer. He stepped forward and slapped Martha in the face. Martha immediately calmed down, but her battered face became worse. Philip nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Aslan's approach. Although he wanted to do it, he knew he could not. He was happy that someone did it on his behalf. “Am I safe now?” Martha exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that she was back to safety. Skeeter panicked at Martha’s rescue. “What about me? Save me!” Skeeter had no idea what he should do. It did not look like Emery was going to save him. Skeeter tried to speak to Emery, “Guild Leader!” His voice trembled with anxiety, fearing that Emery would ignore him. If Emery wanted to save him, he would have done so already. However, he took no action and even seemed like he was watching the fun. Skeeter was very worried about his attitude. In fact, Maurice was more worried than Skeeter. He did not expect that Philip would choose to
Skeeter was horrified that Emery would give up on him. As the guild’s senior member, he knew exactly how important his position was. The guild leader had never spoken harshly to him no matter what he did. That gave him all the confidence he needed. However, Emery disappointed him today. Emery was about to give up on an elite weaponsmith such as him. “Guild Leader, I recently found a new method of weaponsmithing. I’m sure that it can replace some traditional methods.” Skeeter was very worried to see Emery ignoring him. He started talking nonsense to display his value. Once he caught Emery’s attention, Emery would save him. The most important thing now was to survive. Even if Emery found out that he was lying, nothing would happen. After all, Emery was very lenient on him. “Cut the crap. An annoying person like you deserves this!” Delia said disdainfully. She had always found Skeeter to be a nasty person. Everyone felt very happy about Skeeter’s comeuppance.
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
