Steve wanted to teach Ted a good lesson. It was best to kill him. “Don't worry, we can easily deal with him if we join forces. Before that, our priority is to let him take us to the Heavenly Path's Carrefour. There are many dangers below. We might not be able to find the way if we don't have him as a guide, so we need him alive for the time being.” Steve felt much better after hearing the second elder's persuasion. He felt smug at the thought of Ted being ostracized and helpless. Ted quickly recovered his energy after a good rest and led the people down the mountain. Before departure, he told them what to expect below the mountain so that everyone was prepared. Many people chose to use the safety ropes after hearing the dangers. The cliff was very high, and many people would probably be exhausted after jumping down. Not everyone had enough energy, which they had to reserve for traveling.Seeing their cowardice, Ted sneered and took the lead to jump down. Everyone followed su
It was no big deal to double back and pick him up later. Ted simply wanted to show off his strength. There was no comparison in the strength between them. However, both of them were elders, and Steve's status seemed higher than his. Ted was unhappy with this, and coupled with the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, he felt more resentment for Steve. Steve knew so much about the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but he never mentioned anything. Ted would keep his distance from such a selfish person. Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and left with the guild members. Steve could not keep up and lagged far behind. However, he was prepared as many members protected him. He was not alone, so the situation was not that bad. “That guy is walking so fast on purpose. He doesn’t want us to catch up. I’ve never met such a mean person before!” “No way, let me catch up and find the way. Then, we can…” Holy Maiden Carol said excitedly, eager to explore the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Besides she fel
Ted’s mood improved greatly. He did not expect the other party to reward him so quickly. He thought the other party would take his time to test his loyalty, so he was surprised by this outcome. “My reward is to guide you along the same path as mine. Do you accept?” Samael said earnestly. He was very excited and could not wait to get his hands on this stupid guy. Hearing that, Ted nodded without hesitation. The same path as the other party meant being a heavenly path’s guardian! Thinking of this, he agreed without further ado for fear that someone might steal this opportunity. Samael was relieved by his reaction. “That's great. I like obedient guys like you. Get ready. I’ll impart to you the supreme heritage!” Samael said with a smile. He had tricked Ted thoroughly. It would not be long before Ted became one of his kind. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and everyone was at a loss. Their puzzlement was quickly replaced by astonishment. Before anyone could react, they were f
Although Samael had lost his freedom, it was easy enough to deal with a small fry. Ted could not move. He felt regretful and wished he could atone for his sins. He knew he was done for. He was in deep trouble this time. The other party did not look like a good person. He seemed to have realized something and looked at the other party in horror. “No, I shouldn't have believed you. You must be up to no good. You wouldn't be trapped in this place if you were a good person. You've been imprisoned here by the heavenly path's guardians, right?” Ted howled in sorrow. It was too late for him to realize the truth because all the guild members who followed him had died at the hands of Samael. More importantly, he would be next, and he had no way to escape. Ted was heartbroken at this thought and begged Samael to let him go, but it was all in vain. “Don't worry, I won't kill you. You’re quite useful. I've decided to groom you as my subordinate,” Samael said with a grin. He thought Ted w
“This guy seems like a bad person at first glance. I didn’t think he’d be so conscientious and persist for such a long time,” Samael marveled. In his opinion, Ted was not a good person. In reality, Ted was not a good person, indeed. He was selfish and never thought about others, but that did not mean that he was willing to join the demonic path. His obsession was to become a heavenly path’s guardian. At this time, he finally succumbed to the torture, and his eyes slowly turned red. This proved that he had given in. Samael was excited to see that he had taken care of one person. “Go and bring the others to me. I’m very interested in them. These people can provide lots of energy to me.” Samael waved his hand and ordered Ted to take action. Ted turned around and walked out like a puppet with an excited look on his face as if he were ready to make a move on his people. The others finally caught up by this time and coincidentally bumped into Ted. Everyone was baffled by Ted’s
Ted’s thinking was quite simple. He felt that Samael could easily control these people. With Samael’s help, he could establish his own guild and make a name for himself. After all, he was the only one who could survive the torture of Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, a gift from the heavenly path. Other elders and guild members followed slowly, more cautious after the earlier incident. They walked carefully and soon reached their destination. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the words ‘Heavenly Path’. They had finally arrived after so long. “My efforts finally paid off. I’m finally here!” Steve was most excited to figure out this place. He had been looking forward to this for ages, so his excitement was to be expected. However, he had a bad premonition that this place was unsafe. He felt something was amiss, like he would encounter various dangers anytime and anywhere. “There’s something wrong with this place. I feel like it’s full of danger. I don’t feel like stay
The man was very handsome and elegant. “Are you the heavenly path’s guardian? You’re so handsome,” Carol approached the man and said without hesitation. Samael was surprised to see only one person this time. He subconsciously looked outside and saw many people there. He decided not to do anything to Carol for the time being but planned to trick everyone inside instead. Although his strength had been greatly reduced, he could still kill within Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, he could not touch anyone if they were outside the door. He would be helpless if they left before he could take action. Carol spoke to Samael earnestly with a hint of expectation, planning to have a good chat with the other party. However, Samael lost all interest in talking to her. He felt that she was very annoying. “What about your friends? Why don’t you tell them to come in?” Samael looked at Carol expectantly, waiting for her to invite them inside. The elders entered with the others excite
Steve was horrified by this scene. He staggered back and fell to the floor, rolling out of the range of Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Since he was out of range, he was fortunate not to be implicated, and Samael could do nothing about it. “What’s going on? Why are they not moving?” Steve was baffled and could not figure out what was going on, but he was frightened. Ted was excited to see this. He knew his plan had succeeded. It was just a matter of practice. He knew what he should do next. Steve quickly returned to his senses. He scrambled up and ran outside. He could not wait to find Philip. Samael devoured these people frantically and ignored Steve, who was too weak for his attention. It would do nothing for him even if he absorbed Steve. Ted was in a state of excitement and did not notice what was going on. Steve stumbled out. He was very scared and wanted to solve this problem quickly. “What’s going on? This is petrifying!” Steve was miserable and felt sorry for himse
“Tom, what brings you here at this hour?” Philip said curiously. This guy was not on his side so this was clearly not a social visit. There must be a reason for this visit. “I want to ask for a favor. Can you take the little girl away with you? I want to take her to the world of the gods but my lady refused!” Tom was a forthright person and spoke his mind. Philip was surprised to hear this. He always thought that these creatures were heartless but Tom was different. “My lady said that only gods can live in the world of practitioners so I can’t bring the little girl with me.” Hearing that, Philip smiled brightly. He always wanted to learn more about this so-called world of the gods, and a tour guide just turned up at his doorstep. “I want to help you, but I don't know anything about that place. Why don't you tell me about the situation in that world first? If there’s no big problem, I’ll help you,” Philip said, trying to pry for information. Tom was excited upon hearing th
Marina had obviously taken a turn for the worse. The scales on her body were dull, not at all shiny as before. Marina looked at her dull scales dejectedly, knowing very well that she was in trouble now. Things would be tricky if she could not leave in time. “When can we set off?” Marina asked instead of answering Philip’s question. If Philip could open the portal in time, she would not have to stay in this place anymore. “Tomorrow.” Although Philip was very curious about the world of the gods, he knew it was not a place normal people could visit at random. Their lives would be at risk if anything happened. Thinking of this, Philip decided to make the final selection. He would only bring Lyle and Aslan with him for now. At this time, Foxy appeared in front of Philip. As someone not involved in this incident, Foxy wanted to tag along too. “Don’t leave me behind. I want to see what the world of the gods looks like.” Foxy kept flicking her ears, which looked cute and
Tom's expression changed upon hearing Aslan’s remarks. No one was allowed to humiliate his young lady like this, but on the account that they saved his life, Tom forced himself to endure it. “Please take me to my lady as soon as possible. We’re not from this world. Our bodies will be affected if we stay here any longer!” Tom said anxiously, his sincerity apparent. Philip nodded and signaled the others. They led Tom back to their house. Marina was wandering outside because she was uneasy. Although she did not know what happened, she felt uncomfortable. “Is Tom in trouble?” Marina paced back and forth worriedly. She wanted to find Tom but had no idea where to go in this big world. At this time, Tom saw Marina pacing back and forth in the garden. Tom rushed up and knelt in front of her excitedly. “My lady, I failed to protect you and caused you to be stranded alone outside for such a long time.” Tom was so excited to see Marina again that tears welled up in his eyes. H
This man named Tom was probably related to Marina, and their enemies were after him. Tom asked this little girl to pass on the message, hoping that someone could save him. Philip asked the little girl about Tom’s location. “Where is Tom now? We’re practitioners. Maybe we can save him.” The little girl was very happy to hear that and pointed out a direction. Philip gave the little girl an address and told her to wait there. “Since you have nowhere to go, stay there and wait for us to bring Tom back.” After saying that, Philip and the others disappeared from the spot, as terrifying as ghosts. The family was still in shock. They looked at the address Philip handed over and went to the place while asking for directions along the way. Meanwhile, Marina was uneasy and felt that something bad was about to happen. Philip and the others quickly appeared in the small fishing village. The small fishing village was in shambles and the scent of blood could be smelled from a long d
Even if he died fighting today, he had to seek justice for the fishermen. The little girl and her family fled in the direction of the Imperial City, running and stumbling along the way, looking miserable. Tom had recovered some strength during this time and could fight the merfolk. Although at a disadvantage, Tom did his best. The fishing village was not too far from the Imperial City so the little girl and her family soon arrived. After verifying their identities, the guards let them in. Although they looked strangely flustered, the guards could not stop people with normal identities from going in. The Imperial City was not as quiet as the small fishing village. It was a time when the nightlife was the busiest, and Lyle and Aslan were out having fun. After learning that Philip would go to the world of the gods soon, they cherished their life here, fearing that they would not be enjoying this sense of superiority before long. “To be honest, I look forward to that place, b
With food and drinks and people willing to serve him unconditionally, Tom led a good life. Tom had always been the servant, not the other way around. He was quickly lost in this pleasure. While Tom was basking in happiness, a group of merfolk arrived quietly. They sneaked up to the shore and came to this small fishing village. “If I'm not mistaken, Tom should be inside. Let's go and catch him!” Everyone rushed forward with their teeth and claws bared. Although they did not know Tom’s exact location, it was no big deal. They just had to kill everyone and Tom would appear eventually. The merfolk quickly rushed into the houses and killed all the sleeping fishermen. Tom jolted awake when he sensed that disgusting presence. Tom saw the little girl lying on the side. She fell asleep while taking care of him. “Little girl, wake up!” Tom urged the little girl and pushed her awake. The little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Tom curiously. “Mighty God, do you
“That’s my lady’s call. I heard my lady’s call!” Tom looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the voice. However, he could not hear the sound clearly. Due to his injuries, he could not contact his lady through normal means. Although he could sense the lady's signal, it was a fool’s errand to find her. “Do you have anything that can help me restore energy? Such as energy stones or something similar. Hurry up and find some for me. After I recover, I won’t forget your reward!” Tom said condescendingly. He could only rely on empty promises to quickly restore his strength. The fishermen went through their belongings to help the god. The little girl who took care of Tom timidly took out some energy stones from the cabinet. It was her dowry prepared by the family. Fishermen were not rich so they had to prepare dowry in advance. These energy stones were the only savings in the little girl's family. “Mighty God, see if this thing can help you. Feel free to us
“Why am I here? Where is my lady?” Although his superficial injuries had recovered, his various internal injuries would take some time. However, he could deal with these unarmed ordinary fishermen easily with his strength. At this time, a delicate little girl walked in with some food and was very excited to see him awake. “Mom, Dad, the person we rescued is awake. Come and see him!” The little girl put down the tray excitedly and ran out, telling everyone the good news. Hearing that, everyone rushed over excitedly to see the mysterious man. The man was very burly, with muscles and glittering scales all over his body. The fishermen had never seen such a person so they worshiped him as a god. “Young man, are you a god? Only gods have a body like yours!” “Why did you pass out outside? It’s not safe out there. You have to be careful!” Everyone expressed concern over his well-being and handed him some clothes that they made in a hurry for him. Tom frowned unhappily a
Seeing Rabbit’s confidence, however, Philip said nothing. Meanwhile, Marina was resting in the room. Since she had reached an agreement with Philip, Marina recuperated in the room without finding fault with others. Philip knew that Marina was seriously injured but he would not help her without anything in return. After all, he did not form a soul contract with Marina, and she was a force to be reckoned with. Who knew if she would do something to him once she recovered? At this moment, Marina was planning her next move in the room. “That guy named Philip is more than meets the eye. I can't take any advantage of him.” Marina frowned unhappily as she pondered. As a mermaid princess, Marina had always enjoyed noble treatment, and no one dared to do anything to her. However, Philip was quite interesting. Not only could he read her thoughts but also control her emotions, which was terrifying. So, although Marina was curious about Philip, she was more wary of him. “It’d be
