Now that Dustin had lost all contact with the sealed land, staying here would only invite trouble and might even cost him his life. In that case, his only choice was to leave. After Dustin left, Philip noticed that everything in the surroundings seemed to have lost all life. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Philip exited the palace. The others followed Philip's lead and watched the surroundings carefully, fearing that something might happen. Philip tried to punch the statue and found that it was very hard, stronger than the bones. Philip guessed that Dustin made the statue. However, the statue had greatly weakened after the earlier battle. Since the statue was not activated, only an empty husk was left. Philip punched the statue several times and finally shattered it. He then solemnly looked in the direction where the old man was headed. He did not know who the old man was or where he came from. If he came from Philip’s world, Philip had to be very careful, because
Dustin was not the owner of the sealed land. How could he control the skeletons? Although the beast skeleton turned against Dustin in the end for some reason, Philip felt that the old man must have mastered a technique to control the skeletons. After Philip entered the grave, he found this place different from what he had imagined. He thought this place would be gloomy and dark, but it was very spacious instead. It was like a world of its own, with green mountains and blue waters. The whole place was littered with statues too. Judging from these statues, the old man was definitely not the owner of this place. The statues did not belong to him. He simply mastered the method of controlling them by chance. Philip saw a pond surrounded by trees, and various unknown birds flapping their wings and chirping. Philip thought he was in a dream as if his fight with the skeletons earlier was an illusion. This place was not very big, about 30 kilometers from one end to the other
Moreover, the man was half-translucent and obviously dead. Aslan looked at the bed excitedly. “I think this bed is a treasure. This body must have been here for at least a thousand years, but it seems pristine and is even surrounded by vitality. It has to be priceless!” Aslan stared at the bed expectantly. He would keep it for himself if Philip did not want it. “If you really like it, you can take the bed with you later.” Philip was not interested in such things. As soon as Philip said that, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Philip searingly. “Have I been asleep for a thousand years?” the man sat up and asked curiously. Philip and Aslan were shocked by this turn of events. No one expected a guy deemed dead would return to life. The two of them stepped back warily and stared at the man apprehensively. No one knew what he was. “Philip, did we break into the home of an evil sorcerer? We’re doomed for sure,” Aslan whispered to Philip, rea
The man was surprised by Philip’s ignorance. “Have you heard of engravers? I’m the person who founded this art.” Philip was surprised to hear his self-introduction. This guy was quite powerful. It was very amazing to have found a profession, although the art meant nothing to Philip. “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in it.” Philip smiled. He wanted nothing to do with this man. He had not figured out whether this man was bad or good. How could he become the other party’s apprentice out of the blue? However, Philip was shocked by this person's identity. Since he called himself a king, he had to be a legendary figure of his era. No wonder Dustin went to great lengths to use the lives of so many people to nourish this sealed land. The middle-aged man was puzzled by Philip’s rejection. However, he was more impressed rather than unhappy. “Not bad, you’re the first person to reject me. I admire you very much. My name is King Amett, and I think you’ll do very well.” Ph
King Amett said helplessly, “You have no idea, but there’s something wrong with that guy’s character!” King Amett complained endlessly as if he had finally found someone to talk to. King Amett did not have any thoughts or desire to accept Dustin as his apprentice but merely provided a place for him to practice. That was why Dustin’s practice took so long and he did not achieve the level he wanted after so many years. “This storage bag contains all my resources and some professional materials, which I guess you won’t need. You can consider auctioning them for a high price because these materials are valuable to some ignorant people. “You can also find my biography, which contains detailed information about my enemies. I hope you can avenge me and let them feel the fear of death.” After saying this, he handed Philip a cloth bag that looked ordinary and inconspicuous. King Amett looked at his bag, reluctant to hand it over. If he were not dead, he would never hand all the
“That’s great. I can’t believe you have so many treasures. It seems that I really underestimated you.” Seeing that Philip was so capable, King Amett was no longer so worried. He did not expect to find such a powerful helper at random. After saying this, his last concern faded. Since Philip was so powerful, he had nothing to worry about. He smiled at Philip kindly and vanished into thin air. Philip lowered his head in the direction where he disappeared. King Amett was a nice guy for giving him everything without anything in return. Since Philip had taken his things, he had to seek revenge for him. Philip took out the biography contained in the bag and flipped through it. He saw some illegible words written inside and had an impression of someone called the Soul King. This guy did not belong to the Guzo Continent but another scary place. Philip was surprised that his influence reached so far. “I don’t think we can find anything else. Let’s go. It’s time to leave thi
The people who were released were extremely frightened, gasping for air as if they had encountered something dreadful in the palace. “Teacher, you have to save us. This palace is so scary! I don’t want to stay here anymore!” They were here to look for opportunities, but they nearly lost their lives instead. Anyone would be upset. Philip shook his head. All the treasures were in his hands now. Although he did not care for them much, it was a blessing, after all. “Come with me. Let’s leave this place.” Philip took everyone next to the sealed door. He saw a small groove on the door handle which seemed like a placeholder for something. The shape of this groove was the same as the sealing stone. Needless to say, Philip knew what to do. Philip decided to let everyone out. “You guys should leave now. Don’t stay here anymore. This place is too dangerous for you.” Philip waved his hand and told them to leave, which they did in a panic. Everyone knew that this place was too e
Everyone discussed the topic with interest, wondering about the severity of this matter. Only Philip knew what had happened. Everything was caused by the beasts because they wanted to deal with the skeletons. The other skeletons did indeed disappear after three attacks. However, Dustin’s presence changed everything. He had taken too many lives and created many resentful spirits. These spirits were teleported out through the sealed door and wreaked havoc everywhere, causing heavy casualties. Although Philip did not suffer much loss, it was serious for other practitioners and ordinary people. After taking care of everything, Philip took them back to the real world, and everyone else went home. The people of Mistral Temple thanked Philip before leaving. They knew that they would never have escaped without Philip's help. Not to mention the sealing stone provided by Philip, if Philip did not help them at the critical moment, Mistral Temple might have ceased to exist. Phi
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
