Maybe this guy could really take down this beast. Everything was possible before the outcome was finalized. At this time, many people were sent flying, looking very miserable. Philip felt sorry for them. After all, they were injured because of them, so Philip signaled Aslan. Aslan nodded and understood Philip’s meaning. “These pills can heal your injuries. Remember, although they're good stuff, don’t be greedy. Take them as our compensation and leave quickly. Stop wasting your time here.” Aslan was just teasing them earlier and had no other intentions. They seemed like nice people, so Aslan did not want to waste time with them. Lance felt that Aslan was humiliating him. “What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?” Lance knocked the pills from Aslan’s hand in a huff. “I don’t need your charity.” He did not care about Aslan’s gift. It would not be anything good. Aslan was surprised by Lance’s rejection. With a hook of his fingers, the pills returned to his hand.
Lance realized the severity of this matter and wanted to run away. At this moment, Philip signaled Aslan to attract the beast’s attention while he attacked its eyeballs. As long as the beast kept its eyes open, its weakness would be exposed. As a monster beast, Aslan’s aura could affect the beast. After sensing Aslan's presence, the lizard beast rushed at Aslan furiously. Philip seized this opportunity to attack the beast with multiple weapons that appeared in his hands. The beast was frightened by this scene and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Philip was one step ahead of it. No matter how the beast resisted, the dagger pierced its eyeball. The beast howled in pain. “Go to hell!” Philip attacked without hesitation, and waves of light pierced through the beast’s eyeballs into its brain. The growing beast was finally dead. Philip was so fast that Lance could hardly keep up even after everything was over. Lance was still running, making him look ridiculous. “He
“You turned down the pill he gave you earlier, so why are you asking now?” Philip smiled helplessly and put the beast into his storage space with a wave of his hand. Lance was dumbfounded by Philip’s actions and felt that his outlook on life had collapsed. “What the hell is this?” He wanted to get the answer from Philip, but Philip ignored him. “Now that we have taken care of the beast, let’s take a look inside. Maybe we can find the cause of the beast's mutation.” Philip reached into his space and took out a lizard’s leg. “You can take this as proof of completing your mission. I believe it'll be of great use to you. Your strength may improve by leaps and bounds if you eat it.” Philip smiled and led Aslan into the depths of the beast forest, leaving the soldiers behind staring at each other. Philip was not a saint. He had offered the pills once and would not do it again. If they wanted the healing pills, they had to buy them. His earlier offer was to compensate them
“Set the pot over the fire. Let’s have a feast with this leg today!” After much deliberation, Lance decided to keep the leg for themselves. He was tricked into being sent here to face the danger anyway. In that case, he would keep the good stuff to himself. “We’ll eat this today. We can express our gratitude when we see the two of them again in the future!” Lance was a grateful person. He knew that he was a little arrogant earlier and vowed to thank the other party if he had the opportunity next time. “As for what happened today, no one is allowed to talk about it. Just say that we killed the beast through our own efforts, and the beast’s body was scavenged by other animals. We don’t know anything else!” Before cooking, Lance reminded everyone, afraid that some of them might let the cat out of the bag. All of them had followed Lance for a long time and knew his meaning. “Don't worry, commander. We’ll watch our words. Those two people are our saviors.” Everyone looked at
Aslan went on high alert and peered around cautiously. “I’ll pick the flower and see what’s going on.” That flower was not a magical item that could be used as a medicinal ingredient. Philip found no description of this flower in his memory at all. Thus, he could not tell what it was. It felt like an extraterrestrial object, magical and weird. “Philip, watch out. I feel like this flower is talking to me. When I look at it, I see a charming woman dancing in front of me, and she keeps beckoning me over!” Aslan frowned and said solemnly. He had noticed the anomaly of this flower. Likewise, Philip discovered the same. Philip approached the flower cautiously and reached out to touch it. The flower trembled, looking a little spooky. He had a strange feeling that the flower was like a delicate woman resisting his touch. “Something’s wrong. Let’s pick it and see what happens!” Philip did not want to hesitate and miss this chance! He took out a shovel and dug out the flower by i
Philip was stunned to see such a beautiful woman. “Sir, please stop!” The flower that turned into a woman sobbed in despair. “If you don’t want to die, tell me everything about yourself,” Philip threatened. He did not have to worry about communicating with the other party, which was great news. “Who are you exactly?” Philip asked solemnly. He did not want to waste too much time on this thing. The woman looked up at Philip resentfully and recounted her story, “I come from a chaotic world. I had been practicing in that world for thousands of years before I finally developed my intelligence and body. But before I had time to get used to this body, I was sucked away by a strange force. “When I first came to this colorful world, I was very curious.” Her words were full of sincerity, and she did not seem like she was lying. Philip knew that she probably did not have any bad intentions. However, she did not understand how her actions affected this continent. Philip was
Everyone was finally safe. Lance and his men returned to Imperial City to resume their duties. They were stuffed to the brim, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Lance saw the emperor and told him all the things he had made up. He and his people had agreed on the same story. Since everyone had a share of that delicious beast meat, they had to do something as repayment. Lance took Philip's actions as his own and took all the credit. Although Lance only met Philip once, he knew that Philip did not care for merit. Since the other party wanted to conceal his identity, Lance had to shoulder this responsibility. However, Lance felt uncertain when describing the incident. Philip was so powerful that Lance was not sure if he could replicate it. However, the emperor did not know what Lance was capable of, so Lance was not afraid of exposing himself. As the youngest and most promising commander, he simply had to play the part. “So, that’s what happened. We took c
Lance angrily rebuked Fernand. He wanted to have a good conversation but lost the desire to speak at the sight of Fernand’s appalling face. He just wanted to curse at him. Fernand scowled at Lance’s outspoken words and arrogant attitude. This brat dared to challenge him! “Such audacity. I think everything’s just a coincidence. You didn’t do anything that great, so stop putting on airs!” The two of them argued in front of the emperor, neither one backing down. “That’s enough. Everyone has worked hard, so let’s put this aside. I’ll compensate you for it.” The emperor could not figure out the situation, but he could not condone this racket either. Thus, he glossed things over and ended the argument. Lance bowed in dissatisfaction and left. He did not have a good impression of Fernand and loathed staying in the same room with him. “Only a loser will shoot his mouth away without the facts,” Lance muttered as he passed by Fernand. Fernand was angry, but he knew that he was no
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
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
