Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
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
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
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
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
Loony and Akash were beating about the bush, trying to intimidate each other. However, Loony uncovered the mystery first. Akash coughed violently to conceal his shock and returned to his room after excusing himself, clearly going to inform the people behind him. “See, he exposed himself after just a few words. It's quite interesting,” Loony said with a smile, not acting like a lunatic at all. Philip had to marvel at his acting skills. Everyone always treated him as a lunatic, which saved him a lot of trouble. Akash returned to the room and tried to contact the people behind him, but he could not find anyone for some reason. He looked around anxiously, wondering what he should do next. “Damn it. At worst, I’ll have to deal with him.” Akash decided to deal with Loony. In his opinion, Loony should have been greatly weakened after being imprisoned for so many years and was no match for himself. Everything would be under his command if he could find a way to control Loony. Thi
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
