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
Philip used a lot of strength in this kick. Even if Harris’ energy core was not destroyed, he would be severely injured at least. It would be impossible for him to practice again. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the battlefield. Philip ignored the other party but continued with the kick. There was a cracking sound at the moment of impact, and the sound of the energy core breaking was audible. Philip saw a practitioner in black clothes in front of him. The man held the half-dead Harris in his arms as he glared at Philip solemnly. Harris fearfully used all his strength to look up at the practitioner in black before cowering in silence. His energy core was destroyed, and Harris could hardly move due to the excruciating pain in his body. “The senior apprentice is here!” Everyone exclaimed in horror as if the other party put a lot of psychological pressure on them. Harris sighed and said, “You’re finally here.” He could not muster the courage to say another word. He f
Everyone felt their anger fading and thought they had gained a huge advantage, which left them a good impression of Manta. Indeed, he was a capable person and worthy of being the senior apprentice by the way he resolved this crisis so easily. “You two troublemakers will receive your punishment when you return to the guild. As the second and third apprentices, you set up a blockade here instead of leading the other members to practice properly. This is a disgrace!” Manta reprimanded. The onlookers quickly switched sides. Before this, everyone resented the Spada Guild very much, but they had a good impression of them now. “It looks like they have an amazing person in the guild, after all. He’s very reasonable!” “I’m surprised that the senior apprentice of the Spada Guild is someone like that. He's a powerful being, indeed. This is the splendor a major guild should have!” “This is true justice and equality. All of us should learn from the senior apprentice!” The people who
Philip nodded at Aslan’s quick response. “That’s right. They set up checkpoints at the city gates just to find the two of us. Luckily enough, they found me.” As soon as Philip said that, everyone gathered around in horror. Even Lyle lost all interest in studying and gathered around to hear what happened. “What happened?” Lyle had no idea what happened to Philip and Aslan, so he was pretty confused. Philip allowed Aslan to tell them the whole story. Aslan was best at bragging and told them everything with extra juicy bits. Lyle's expression became more solemn. He clenched his fist and smashed it to the side. “The people of the Spada Guild are still so arrogant! Philip and Aslan were puzzled by Lyle’s reaction. They always felt that Lyle had a story. “Do you have a grudge against the Spada Guild?” The person who spoke was not Aslan the nosy parker but Philip. He always felt that Lyle had many secrets and hated Imperial City immensely. Lyle was willing to return to I
