Manta left in anger. He did not expect Philip to be so arrogant even though he had apologized. In his opinion, Philip should have accepted his apology and then discussed the deal with him. Philip signaled Lyle for him to take action. He wanted to make sure that Manta apologized sincerely. “You may return after you apologize to them. I’ll talk to you about the deal once it’s over.” Philip continued to rest. Ira was very happy and urged Manta to apologize. Manta nodded with a scowl and went out. “What’s so difficult about an apology? I can do it easily!” Manta went to the city gates and apologized to the butcher's family. The butcher’s family had no idea what was going on. They were summoned to the city gates, and a man apologized to them and paid them a lot of money. “You're the one who killed my husband,” the butcher's wife said in grief. She did not expect the murderer to appear in front of her. “Indeed, I killed your husband. I've given you the compensation. Are
“No problem, I’m a man of my word. Since you've done your part, I’ll make the deal with you. I have three charms here. Just stick one on a weapon and you can turn it into a spiritual weapon,” Philip said mysteriously. He took out three pieces of paper and placed them on the table. Everyone was surprised and confused to see those ordinary items. Those were simply pieces of paper! Manta was furious and felt that Philip was tricking them. Now that his image had been ruined in front of Ira, Manta stopped putting on an act and cursed. “Don't be fooled by this guy. You can tell at a glance that he’s trying to trick us! What’s there to brag about a few pieces of paper?” Ira had her doubts over Manta’s words, but she looked at Philip in confusion. “Can you do a demonstration?” Ira was more inclined to believe Philip. In Ira's opinion, handsome men would never lie. In fact, Philip was not lying. Everything he did was the real deal. “Since you haven’t seen it before, I do
Now that the scythe had turned into such a powerful weapon, Ira felt like she was dreaming. Manta stared at Philip in trepidation, at a loss for words. If Philip had such an ability, he should not be underestimated. He looked at Philip’s hands. Philip held three pieces of the same paper, obviously treasures with the same function. He should be planning to use them for the deal. “This thing can last for about an hour. You can verify it.” In fact, engraving produced a similar effect, but the process was not as simple and convenient. The effects from engraving could last for about half a day, but the result was not so effective. More importantly, a piece of paper was very portable and could be used anytime and anywhere. Manta could already imagine himself reigning supreme with these pieces of paper in hand. He could instantly become stronger with these papers in hand if he faced an undefeatable enemy. “What happens if we use this charm on a spiritual weapon?” Manta asked w
Even Aslan did not know that Philip had such an ability. “Philip, that’s amazing. You can actually make people stronger!” Aslan was startled and regretted not studying these charms more thoroughly. Philip smiled and looked at Ira silently. He knew that Ira had to decide. Manta was nothing but a pawn, and Philip was quite sure that he could not come up with anything that would interest him. “Okay, no problem. I’ll report the situation without missing any details. I believe that we can come up with some things that can attract your interest.” Ira smiled and left. Although Ira was very interested in the charms, now was not the time to dwell on them. As for what the guild would offer in exchange, that was out of her hands. Ira kept pondering if she had anything valuable that she could exchange. “Ira, I don’t think we should trust Philip completely. He looks very cunning and doesn’t seem like an easy person to deal with.” Manta quickly chased after Ira as she left. He was
The guild leader waved the scythe casually and found that it contained a lot of energy. “We have few spiritual weapons of this caliber in our guild. These pieces of paper look so ordinary.” The guild leader was at a loss for words. He felt he must be dreaming. Philip’s ability was amazing, indeed. They knew Philip had more of these papers on hand. “No matter what happens from now on, we have to make a good impression on Philip and hope he'll agree to work with us.” Most people in the Spada Guild looked down on Dustin, whose skills were of little use to them, but Philip was different. Philip’s ability could double the guild’s overall strength. At this time, Dustin approached the Spada Guild after waiting impatiently. He tried to contact Manta through the communication token, but Manta did not respond to him. Dustin was very anxious and finally decided to turn up at their door. Dustin was afraid that Manta would forget about him if he reaped any benefits. That was t
At any rate, Dustin was a national expert and well-respected by the whole empire. The Spada Guild should not say that about him even if they were arrogant. “The effects of your engraving can only last for some time but require a long time of preparation. More importantly, we have to make use of the effects within half a day after engraving. For people like us who have to go out for missions, who knows if we’ll encounter anything in half a day?” Manta had a point, but Dustin was unhappy. “Hehe, is this thing different? I don't believe that this thing is more powerful than my engraving. There must be a time limit to the scythe too,” Dustin scowled and said coldly. Ira laughed and grabbed the three shabby pieces of paper from the side. “We just need to stick this paper on any weapon to transform it. Don't you think it's amazing? We can bring this paper anywhere and use it anytime. It can even make people stronger, and everything boils down to one piece of paper!” Ira careful
Manta quickly convinced himself, and his attitude toward Philip gradually became friendly. Philip had no idea that he had won Manta over even though he had only displayed a fraction of his strength. “Based on your reaction, I guess Philip is responsible for this.” Needless to say, Dustin had a different idea. At his age, he could never bear the humiliation. Philip's existence undoubtedly embarrassed him. He had to take revenge on Philip no matter what. Manta simply thought that they could disregard Dustin. Dustin’s mind raced, thinking of ways to trick Philip into revealing all his secrets. Dustin could not wait to get his hands on Philip’s treasures. It would be perfect if he could figure out all of Philip’s secrets. His strength would soar rapidly, and his profession would be highly sought-after across the continent. It was true that these scraps of paper from Philip had solved the problem that had been bothering him for ages. His engraving took a long time and was ti
Philip walked past a clinic and glanced inside. It was the most luxurious store he had ever seen in Imperial City, obviously expensive at a glance. More importantly, although it was expensive, there was no lack of visitors. Everyone sat in discomfort, waiting to see the doctor. Philip was amazed by this scene. He turned around and was about to walk away when someone stopped him. The man stood in front of Philip and handed a queue number to him. “Bro, please help me with my queue for the time being. My stomach is killing me!” he groaned in pain to Philip and put a few energy stones in Philip's hand. Clearly, he was asking Philip to queue up for him. Philip was surprised to hear a practitioner suffering from diarrhea. He would be a laughingstock if word of it got out. Seeing his earnest approach, however, Philip helped him with the queue without a word. He had nothing to do anyway, so doing a good deed was not bad. The man soon returned and apologized to Philip with a smile
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
