Nothing could save the wraith. The hunched figure screamed and lunged at Philip. Philip backed away, trying to keep a distance from this crazy person. The person smelled very bad from hiding in this cave for who knew how long. If this person touched him, Philip might feel dirty even if he took a bath for three days and nights. Aslan immediately jumped to another side. Aslan was not afraid if the opponent was strong and would attack him for sure. However, this person smelled so bad that Aslan could not withstand this psychological attack. Philip finally saw that it was an old woman. “You killed my Billy. I’m going to kill you. Neither of you will survive!” the old woman cursed as she attacked Philip with her cane. Philip waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning restrained the old woman. “Billy! My Billy!” the old woman screamed her wraith’s name despite being bound tightly. “Let me go! Give Billy back to me!”The old woman was not very strong. Philip could deal with her
“Now that I've captured you, it’s not up to you to bargain with me. The ball is in my court. I hope you realize that.” Philip was very unhappy with her attempt to negotiate with him. He was the one with the initiative, so it was up to him to do as he pleased. It was the old woman’s wishful thinking to get his soul and spirit. He was tolerant enough not to kill her outright. “Hehe, since you’re here, you should know about the island,” the old woman said secretively. It felt strange to hear that hoarse voice in the empty cave. Aslan felt goosebumps all over his body. Philip stared fixedly at the old woman, waiting to see what she would say. Seeing no reaction from Philip, the old woman knew she was right. “Since you’re here for that thing, you have to let me go. Many stupid humans have reached this place over the years, but only one person can enter it,” the old woman spoke of the past events. Philip seemed to realize something. Maybe this old woman was the person in char
Philip was the most promising and talented person she had seen over the years. She could recreate Billy once she took possession of this man’s body. At that time, Billy would no longer be a wraith but a living person. As a wraith, Billy could return to life repeatedly. The old woman always used this method to deceive others. Billy would be reborn again after being destroyed by the other party. After rebirth, Billy would become stronger and more proficient in his mastery of space and domain. Therefore, the old woman was not worried that Billy would vanish completely. With Billy’s undead skill, the old woman could do whatever she wanted. “When you reach that island, you can pick a fruit called the Motley Fruit to restore your soul and spirit,” the old woman said earnestly. She had always wanted to enter the island but did not meet the requirements and could only guard the door. “My request is very simple. If you give me a fragment of your soul and spirit and bring me something
Indeed, Philip learned this trick from Scarlet. Philip thought that Scarlet's charm technique was quite good and practical. However, it was missing some critical elements, so Scarlet was quite bad at casting her charm and could only attract people who were much weaker than her. If she were better at it, many people in Imperial City might marvel at her. However, now that the relationship between them had turned sour, he felt no need to dwell on that woman's future. Philip quickly got the answers he wanted. At this time, the old woman finally returned to her senses. She was shocked to realize that she had given away all her secrets. She tried to cover her mouth with her hands as if she could erase her words from Philip's memory. However, she was bound so tightly that she could not move at all. Philip could not only block the old woman’s energy core but also control her movements. He could not be bothered with other tricks. He wanted to seal his soul and spirit and give it a try
Philip and Aslan hurried through the passage and soon saw light ahead. Philip expected to see a forest, but they appeared in a paradise. The place was full of men, women, and children in ancient attire walking in the fields happily. Some people plowed the fields while others were teaching their children to read and write. Philip was very surprised to see this scene. He thought he would see a forest or a prosperous city, but it turned out to be the countryside. Moreover, this area was not very big, and Philip could see it at a glance. With only 40 or 50 people living here at most, their presence hardly made a difference. The natives were curious about Philip and Aslan’s sudden appearance. An old man marched over and said with a smile, “It has been many years since we saw a fresh face. You actually passed the many tests to make it here!” Philip was puzzled by the old man’s amiable behavior and felt that something was not quite right. The bad premonition grew more intense, but h
The room was so big that Philip and Aslan could stay in it together comfortably, but the other party insisted that they separate for some reason. Philip could not refuse the other party’s kindness. Since this was the rule of their village, they just had to abide by it. “After we separate, you have to be wary at all times, or do you want to return to our world instead?” Philip discussed with Aslan worriedly. Aslan was reliable at times but careless at other times. Even if this was a trivial matter, Philip did not want any accidents. Aslan shook his head. He wanted to solve this mystery himself. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay focused and won’t cause you any trouble.” Aslan understood Philip’s intention and assured him. Philip turned to chat with the villagers. After an hour of interaction, Philip did not find anything strange. The content of the conversations was quite normal. Except for being a little outdated, Philip did not see anything inappropriate about these villagers. “We ca
The first elder’s image matched the heritage he received.The second elder was a little short. “Don’t think too little of Second Elder Burton. He’s the God of Alchemy. I’m sure you would've never seen such amazing pills before!” the village chief introduced him with a smile on his face. Hearing that, Aslan also smiled, but only Philip knew the meaning behind his smile. Obviously, Aslan thought that claim was a stretch. As someone who popped pills like jelly beans, he really wondered what magical pills the other party could make. “God of Alchemy? That sounds amazing,” Philip praised. Before finding out the actual situation, Philip would not offend them. The third elder was stout and muscular, obviously not simple at a glance. “If I’m not mistaken, this elder must be involved in weapon smithing.” Philip made a bold guess, which the village chief quickly confirmed. “Indeed, Third Elder Clay specializes in forging various weapons. Each of them has received the heritage of
After Philip returned to the room, he took the food out and scrutinized it. He could not help feeling that something was wrong with the meat. Philip could not tell what meat it was from the cooked food. He would only be able to guess after taking a bite. In desperation, Philip returned to his original world. Although he could not judge based on his senses, various technologies were available in his world. Philip gave Montel the meat and told him to find an appraisal department to determine what it was. Before Montel could react, Philip vanished from his sight again. Montel looked at the piece of meat and sniffed it. “Wow, it smells so good!” Philip had given Montel all the meat they collected. Montel quickly found a plate to hold the meat. After much thought, he finally decided to find a bag for the meat. While Montel went searching for a bag, someone sneaked into the villa. He pressed against the wall and quickly sneaked inside. The man smiled brightly at the sight of the
“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
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
