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
Steve yearned to interact more with Philip, but given his status and position, he knew it was good enough to befriend Philip. It was wishful thinking to go beyond that. “Your injuries have recovered. Tell me what happened.” Philip made a pot of tea and sat in front of Steve. Philip savored his tea carefully but had no intention of asking Steve to drink some no matter how much he craved it. Steve looked at Philip helplessly but quickly told him what he knew.“That’s what happened. I might have died if I hadn’t been lucky enough to escape in time. That guy is a force to be reckoned with.” Steve trembled, obviously still scared. Philip knew what happened, but he was surprised to hear that Samael was strong enough to attack others even though he had been restrained. “You’re quite capable of finding your way to Heavenly Path’s Carrefour on your own,” Philip said with a half-hearted smile as if mocking Steve. Steve knelt in front of Philip nervously, at a loss for what to do.
Steve wanted to take this opportunity to join Philip, but Philip seemed reluctant to take him in. “Bring Ted to me and I’ll take care of him for you, but you need to do something for me.” Philip knew he could not rebuild Heavenly Path's Carrefour single-handedly. He needed help. Steve nodded. He knew what he should do. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get it done. This was my mistake. I should make amends.” Philip smiled at Steve’s awareness. “I want to look at your treasure vault. Is that okay? Don’t worry, I’ll just take a look without doing anything. I’m not interested in your treasures anyway.” Steve was a little worried, but he quickly calmed down. There was nothing to worry about. “You have a point. I don’t think we have anything worth your attention.” Steve quickly agreed to Philip's request and sneaked into the treasure vault with Philip. Philip brought Aloysius with him too. He needed Aloysius to identify if there was anything they needed. Steve often vis
Aloysius took the things nervously and felt that they should not be doing this. Philip rolled his eyes upon hearing that. He did not think there was anything wrong in doing this. On the contrary, he thought he was too kind. “What’s wrong with this? I gave him a pill.” Aloysius nodded. Philip had a point. They had used a pill in exchange for this. The pill that Steve had taken was indeed worth the treasures here. “This guild has been taken over by the demonic path. Since they’ll suffer from now on, we might as well take these things rather than leave them for others.” Philip searched as he walked around. In the meantime, Ted returned to the guild. He did not forget that Steve had escaped, and he wanted to lure the other guild members into becoming Samael’s nourishment. He was afraid that Steve would return to the guild before him and expose this incident, making it difficult for Ted to take action by then.… “Look, the first elder is back. We can hear from him all about
Steve had sneaked back from Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, so no one knew about it. He was waiting anxiously for Philip at the entrance to the treasure vault. Coincidentally, Ted wanted to take all the treasures from the vault too. Since this place would be abandoned, he might as well keep all the treasures for himself. In his opinion, it was easy to take these treasures. He had convinced all the members. He simply had to take the treasures and send these people to Samael’s doorstep. He believed Samael would reward him handsomely after that. Ted looked forward to that outcome and wished he could gain Samael's appreciation immediately. At this time, Ted saw Steve lingering at the door. They exchanged a glance, shocked to see each other. “Why are you here? What’s going on?” Ted asked warily, wondering what was going on. At the same time, he was nervous, afraid that Steve would expose his secrets. Steve stared at Ted with fear and caution, at a loss for what to do. “Stay away fr
“This guy has fallen into the demonic path. I’m dead if you refuse to save me. I can only survive if you save me. Otherwise, I’m dead for sure!” Ted sneered when he saw Philip and overheard their conversation. “I’m surprised to hear that this guy is one of yours now. I thought you were nothing worth mentioning, but it seems that I’m mistaken.” After falling into the demonic path, Ted could feel the increase in his strength, so he thought dealing with Philip was a piece of cake. While Ted was confident about dealing with Philip, the latter made a move. Philip lunged forward at an incredible speed and grabbed Ted in his hand. Ted was trampled under Philip’s feet before he knew what was going on. Philip looked down at him condescendingly. Ted was simply dreaming if he thought he could compete with Philip. “What are you thinking? Do you really think you can deal with me with your strength?” Philip laughed at Ted mockingly, his disdain obvious. Ted frowned and struggled a bit,
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
