The people who criticized Philip fell silent. As residents of Imperial City, they had an inkling of the truth. Nearly everyone had bumped into that shorty during their missions before. He was best at stealing their beasts and missions. Almost everyone had experienced losing the beast that they had gone through pains to hunt. They had thoughts of taking revenge but could only wallow in anger after learning his identity. “If they stole your beast, why didn’t you report them? You can tell the mission counter about it. Although the beast isn't within the scope of the mission, the mission counter can still make a decision on it once a dispute occurs. “But you didn't do that. Instead, you're accusing someone of stealing your beast. As far as I know, this team of eight made a report.” Harris always talked about reason. He spoke to Philip normally as if he had all the right to capture Philip. The onlookers gasped at the other party’s thoughtful planning. They were the unreaso
Jax looked at Philip anxiously, at a loss for what to do. “Since you can’t wait to die, let me grant your wish.” Harris sneered, surprised that someone would seek death at his doorstep. At this moment, a member of the Spada Guild stepped forward and glared at Philip fiercely. “Senior Harris, you don’t have to do such a thing in person. Killing him will only dirty your hands. Let me do it. Dealing with this insignificant insect is a piece of cake.” The person who spoke was a burly man over two meters tall, looking very strong with muscles all over his body. Everyone glanced at Philip, horrified by the difference in stature between Philip and that man. Although Philip had a stout figure too, it was far from that man who was over two meters tall. Everyone thought Philip was dead for sure. They turned away silently, unwilling to see Philip being killed. Only people from the Spada Guild were bold enough to kill someone in the downtown area of Imperial City. Jax looked at
“That stupid guy dares to use his bare hands to stop Lark’s fatal move? Doesn't he know that Lark is using his best attack?” Some people mocked Philip when they realized he was just a brainless fool. Philip overheard their comments and laughed at their naivety. “Let me show you absolute power today.” Philip did not dodge but blocked the attack with his hands. He easily stole the rod and swung it in his hands. Everyone was dumbfounded by his actions. Who would have thought that Philip could easily snatch the rod from Lark? Moreover, Philip easily resisted Lark’s powerful and deadly attack. It was simply surreal! “Wait a minute, what's going on?” “Where did this guy come from? He actually withstood Lark’s attack!” The people of the Spada Guild were dumbfounded at Philip’s strength. The onlookers were horrified. They had turned away from the tragic scene because no one thought Philip could withstand Lark’s attacks. Jax stared at Philip in shock. He knew that Philip w
At first, Harris thought that Philip would be ripped to pieces as long as Lark took action. Everyone would be in awe of the Spada Guild when they saw Philip's tragic end. Instead, Lark was defeated by Philip as soon as he made his move. Philip’s actions not only insulted Lark but also disgraced the Spada Guild. If word of this got out, everyone would think the Spada Guild was a pushover. Lark was ranked third among the internal members of the guild, and his strength could not be underestimated. It would be over once everyone found out that Lark had been defeated by an unknown person. Although Harris claimed to be the shorty’s brother, it was just in name. The shorty’s biological brother was the senior apprentice in the guild. As the second apprentice, Harris could only shamelessly claim to be his brother. The reputation as the senior apprentice was not to be trifled with. If they failed to take care of Philip, it would be the same as disgracing the senior apprentice, an
When the blood came into contact with the long whip, mysterious runes appeared on the whip. “You can brag in hell about being killed by this move of mine.” Harris laughed as he swung his whip to attack Philip. Countless shadows surrounded Philip, trying to besiege him! This move was Harris’ trump card. When Harris completed a big mission for the guild back then, an elder personally selected this technique for him! This technique was enough for him to reach the top! He could easily kill any number of people who tried to attack him. This powerful skill was called the Penumbra Technique. Combined with his whip as a magical weapon, this technique fully played an important role. Everyone panicked upon seeing Harris taking this so seriously. The members of the guild knew Harris very well. He had never been driven to this state before. Harris would only use the most powerful killing moves when competing against the members of the guild. Philip had to be very strong for Harri
“That's how it should be. This fight will only be interesting if you attack me with all you have, or it’ll be boring if I simply crush you in a one-sided match.” Everyone gasped at Philip’s arrogant tone. In fact, Philip thought Harris was a pretty good talent. He was young with good abilities. He would have a bright future if he developed properly on the right path. Thus, Philip felt exasperated at Harris' inexplicable provocation. Messing with Philip was never a good thing. The best outcome would be to destroy Harris' core so that he would never practice again. Although Philip was not a ruthless person, he was no saint either. Harris was dead for messing with him. Philip grabbed a cleaver from the side that the members left behind as a spare weapon. The cleaver was worthless, simply used as a tool for chopping firewood. In Philip’s hand, however, the cleaver came alive and hummed shrilly. Philip stroked the cleaver as if he could converse with it. “Don’t worry, you’
Philip used a small portion of his strength to gauge Harris’ level. As Philip continued to lower his level, he finally fought on par with Harris. Harris was so shocked that he regretted fighting Philip by now. He was complacent at first, thinking that Philip was not worth his time. Later, he realized that Philip was giving way to him. As time went by, however, he realized that something was wrong. Even though he tried his best, he could not penetrate Philip's defense at all, not even finding flaws in Philip’s movements. He was scared of this powerless feeling. He had never encountered such a difficult opponent before. ‘What’s going on? He looks no different from ordinary people, but why is he so powerful?’ Harris thought. Harris kept backing away, feeling too helpless to resist. If he could turn back time, he would do it even if he had to pay with everything he had. On the surface, the two seemed to be fighting on equal footing. However, Harris knew that it was a one-si
Endless energy poured into Harris. Soon, he became very powerful. The members of the Spada Guild widened their eyes in surprise. They recognized the pill Harris took. It was a level-enhancing pill, a nickname given by the guild members. Taking this pill would not increase their actual practice level but would only enhance their strength for a short time, maybe even double their current strength. It was a forbidden drug, and no one was allowed to use it. Someone would only use it as a last resort. A practitioner would suffer a serious backlash after taking the pill, maybe even death. The guild members quickly educated everyone about the side effects of the pill. The onlookers could not believe that Philip could drive Harris to this stage. They thought that Philip was just an arrogant person. However, he had the strength to go with it. At this point, they believed that it would be an honor for Philip even if Harris ended up killing him. Harris roared in anger and po
