Everyone turned their attention to Philip. They were so angry just now that they did not notice anything. The guy in front of them actually had a storage device, high-end stuff! “Hehe, kid, didn't anyone warn you not to flaunt your wealth? Since you chose not to hide it, don’t blame me for being merciless.” The short man wished he could strip Philip of everything. He was surprised to meet such a rich kid. “Wow, you guys are so smart to discover the key point right away,” Philip said with a smile. These people were not that stupid to realize the most important things so quickly. Philip did it on purpose. He wanted them to know he was rich so that they would take advantage of him. Philip could not maximize his interests without forcing them to reveal their trump cards. “How dare you be so arrogant?” The short man was very angry and charged at Philip. He raised his hand and slapped Philip on the face, trying to humiliate Philip most crudely. Philip smiled calmly at his
“He owns such powerful magical treasures on top of a storage device. This is wonderful!” The eight people chattered incessantly, not taking Philip seriously at all. Although Philip was powerful, he meant nothing to them. He was alone while they had eight people on their side. “Do you think the two of you can go against the eight of us?” The short man seemed confident of his victory. He looked at Philip with such longing that his eyes turned red. In his opinion, Philip was so strong because of his weapons. He would be nothing without those weapons. After all, Philip did not display a powerful practice level. Everyone thought he was just a rich kid. Maybe Philip spent a lot of money to buy treasures just to gain experience. Although Philip had destroyed their weapons, that did not mean they were out of weapons. Everyone had many spare weapons. After taking out their weapons, they rushed toward Philip excitedly. Philip found their unrelenting spirit unbelievable. “Yo
Philip was surprised to hear the short man’s background. “Oh, you’re quite influential. I couldn’t tell at all,” Aslan sneered. This guy was simply too noisy. More importantly, this guy ignored Aslan. Did he think Aslan was dispensable? However, Philip finally figured out why they dared to act so arrogantly. It turned out that they had strong backers. Despite that, Philip did not know anything about the Spada Guild. He was new to this world, after all. Looking at the other party’s reaction, however, the Spada Guild should be a pretty good establishment or he would not have revealed it so smugly. Nonetheless, it was a fool’s errand to intimidate Philip with a few words. Philip signaled Aslan. He could not be bothered to deal with these losers. Aslan nodded and sprang into action, appearing behind these losers in an instant. “How could you move so quickly?” The short man felt someone kicking him from behind before he could react. The next second, he saw his men flyi
“If you want to find out some information, I’ll tell you everything I know. “The Spada Guild is large and powerful in Imperial City. Your accent doesn’t sound local, so it’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. The Spada Guild is one of the five major guilds. Although not ranked at the top, it can rank third or fourth.” Philip was surprised that the short man knew quite a lot. “Wow, I’m surprised to hear that the Spada Guild is so powerful. I thought it was just a trashy place,” Philip said nonchalantly as if he was quite knowledgeable in this matter. Hearing that, the short man’s mood changed for the better, and he felt full of himself. It turned out that Philip treated him so badly earlier because he was simply too ignorant. He had no idea what was going on, so it was reasonable that he was unafraid of this guild. “Since you know everything, you should let me go. My brother is really…” The short man wanted to emphasize his brother's power when he was knocked unconscious wit
Philip stepped forward and reached for it doubtfully. It was quite hot to the touch. “Philip, what’s that? It’s quite scary.” Aslan looked at the scary thing in puzzlement. Philip was baffled by the shiny item on the ground too. Of course, Aslan was not referring to the item's appearance but its vibes. Philip grabbed the shiny little stone amid his confusion. Although it was hot to the touch, Philip made use of his exotic flame and managed to grab it. His exotic flame seemed to have a powerful taming effect, and Philip quickly took control of the stone. “This is weird. I feel like the stone is emitting some unfriendly vibes as if warning others to keep their distance.” Aslan glanced at Philip curiously, feeling baffled. Why would such a terrifying thing appear in this ordinary beast forest? The presence of this small stone was so strong that even Aslan was terrified. “Don’t worry. Let me take a good look at it.” Philip studied the stone but could not figure it out. He
“Could he have found the way to unlock the passage between the two continents and left by himself? What should I do now? I haven’t learned much from him.” Kemp sighed, feeling despondent. He had sent many people to search the land of evil spirits for a long time but found no trace of Dustin. He finally mustered the courage to join the search but to no avail. “Where could he have gone?” Kemp returned home empty-handed and sat down glumly. Meanwhile, Dustin had recovered from more than half of his injuries and sat waiting for Kemp’s rescue. “What’s taking him so long? He’s such a slowpoke!” Dustin scrambled up and looked around in annoyance. He did not dare to escape without his apprentice waiting to receive him. After waiting for a long time, he finally decided to sneak out. Dustin sneaked out of the room and left quietly. He thought that no one discovered his actions, but he was too naïve. Although Declan was very unhappy with his younger brother, he asked Philip to
It was insufficient to rely on the royal family alone. Philip could get a good position with Declan’s help. Dustin’s priority was to find someone to deal with Philip before he had time to build connections. “Since I can't use the power of the royal family, I can go to those guilds. Many guilds have settled in Imperial City anyway.” Dustin made his decision quickly. In his mind, Philip was already a dead man. It was all thanks to the guilds’ help during the beast crisis or the military could never have handled the situation all alone. It proved that the guilds occupied a very important position in Imperial City. Philip had no idea that Dustin was going to look for someone to deal with him. However, he knew that the short man would tell his brother in the Spada Guild about his plight. Philip was not worried about his situation at all. He would take one step at a time. Philip did not care what would happen. He simply wanted to watch the excitement, so the bigger, the bet
Just like Lance, his men were friendly and kind-hearted people. They were generally much older than Lance, but they were outspoken and lacked the arrogance of most officials. The man who was stopped was Jax Lore. “Hey, don’t just stand there. Come over here.” The people from the Spada Guild beckoned to Jax and asked them to go through the check. Jax was not happy about it, but he knew they could not mess with the Spada Guild. “I see, it’s the Spada Guild. How may I help you?” Although Jax was angry, he had no choice but to greet them with a smile. They seemed like internal members, so Jax had to be courteous. Although he was an official, he was not highly valued, so he was inferior to the other party. “Cut the crap and just come over as I ordered,” the member of the Spada Guild snapped. Jax scowled. They went too far. The man in front of him was weaker than him. Showing him courtesy was respectful enough. However, the other party still acted so arrogantly, which humilia
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
