“Enough!” Halle glared at her hatefully and said tearfully, “Luna Crestfall, it’s all because of you. You killed Andrius!“If not for you going to the Western border, there wouldn’t have been the slightest flaw in Andrius’ plan!“If not for you being a fool and falling into Kabreh’s hands, why would Andrius have risked his life to save you?“If not for you, Andrius wouldn’t have been forced to ingest the μ-3 serum containing the insect, leading to a fatal infection!“If not for you, he wouldn’t have needed to go to the Murrfield cordillera and find the cure for the insect!“If not for you, he wouldn’t have been ambushed by that despicable Second War God and ultimately met his end...”Each sentence was increasingly frenzied.Halle’s clear eyes had turned bloodshot, accompanied by boundless anger and endless resentment. She went up to Luna and grabbed her collar, shaking and shoving her repeatedly.“It was you! It’s your fault! All of this is because of you! Luna Crestfall! You’r
Harry pointed to Luna’s room and said, “Luna is in a bad mood now. Anyone of you who can make her happy and get her approval will become the son-in-law of the Crestfalls!”With the current status of the Crestfalls in East River State, even if they openly announced that they were ‘recruiting’ a son-in-law, there would be plenty of suitors.Although it might not be enough to fill an island, the line would certainly be long enough to encircle Sumeria twice.Thus, the young men did not get angry. Instead, they were full of confidence and eager to try.“Don’t worry, Mr. Crestfall!”“Mr. Crestfall, watch me. I’m the best at charming girls.”“Mr. Crestfall, rest assured and leave it to me. Nothing will go wrong!”“Mr. Crestfall, give me a chance and I’ll give you a grandson!”“Mr. Crestfall...”The young men rained promises, then went to knock on Luna’s door.“Luna, I’m from the Lewis family...”“Ms. Crestfall, I’m from the Zimmers...”“Ms. Crestfall, I’m from the Cruz family...”
“Phew...”Andrius could not figure it out at all and took a deep breath, calming his heart.Then, he looked at the maid and nodded at her. “Please guide me!”The maid glanced at him indifferently, but there was a faint hint of disdain.Andrius felt displeased and unleashed a flurry of moves at the maid’s face. His attack was fast as lightning and full of power!However, the maid did not take it seriously at all and only suddenly unleashed a strong force when Andrius was right in front of her.Not only did she perfectly defend against his attack, but she also forced him back.Andrius’ expression changed dramatically.What the hell?How could a mere maid possess such terrifying strength and power? It was simply astonishing.“Young man...”Just as Andrius was in shock, an old man with an elegant aura walked over. He wore strange clothing that was vastly different from what was usually worn in central Florence, but he exuded a sense of profound vicissitudes.What surprised Andr
To create, you must first break?Construction would only come after destruction?Andrius stared at the words and thought for a while but could not figure out what it meant. He continued to walk deeper into the cave.He took step after step into the dark and silent cave. His footsteps echoed and emphasized his solitude.“Andrius!”Just when he thought he would be wandering in this cave alone, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.It was the First War God, Conrad Gibbs!He was overjoyed upon seeing Andrius. “Were you saved by the temple successors too?”The word ‘too’ instantly cleared Andrius’ confusion. It seemed that Conrad had also been saved by Otto, and the two of them coincidentally met here.What a stroke of luck!“Yes, Conrad. I never expected that we would fight side by side again!” Andrius could not help but exclaim as he approached.“Let’s go.” Conrad pointed deeper into the cave and said, “Let's explore together and see what mysteries lie inside.”“Let’s go
“Come on, Andrius,” Conrad continued to urge Andrius, wanting him to follow.Andrius looked deeply at Conrad, but his mind was preoccupied with the words he saw at the entrance: ‘To create, you must first break’.To create, you must first break.Construction would only come after destruction.Perhaps what he needed to do now was exactly that!At that thought, he looked at Conrad once more, then resolutely turned away from him and stepped into the left path.As soon as he entered, Conrad’s figure turned into a breeze and disappeared.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...When Andrius stepped forward, various arrows immediately shot toward him. The tips of the arrows gleamed coldly, making them appear razor-sharp. They flew, swift as lightning and fast as meteors as if intending to turn Andrius into a porcupine.However, Andrius remained fearless in the face of those arrows. He did not even furrow his brows and simply moved forward.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...In the blink of an eye, the ar
Andrius was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look.Otto appeared behind him, holding a stone box. It was the same one that Andrius had taken from the crack in the statue.Click...Otto exerted a slight force and opened the stone box.Inside lay a key. The key was shaped strangely with a hint of black. It was clearly not an ordinary item.“At the end of the cave is a hole. Here is the key.” Otto handed the key to Andrius.Andrius did not hesitate and took the key, then headed to the end of the cave, where he found the keyhole mentioned by Otto.He inserted the key.Click, clack, clack...Soon, there was a strange sound.Then, the entire mountain shook violently as if an apocalypse had befallen.Andrius was slightly surprised, but when he saw the old man standing there calmly without any intention to leave, Andrius also grew calm.Clack, clack...Amidst the tremors, a stone door appeared at the location where he inserted the key. It split open and revealed the int
The First War God was dead, and he was trapped here.If Noir and Halle returned safely, they would surely gather the Lycantroops and do something rash.That was not something Andrius wanted to see.“I’ll inquire for you.” The maid nodded and left.After eating, Andrius continued to cultivate day and night. He even forgot to eat and sleep.Andrius did not know how much time had passed.All he knew was that the energy within him had become robust and powerful. He could now control the Spirit-devouring Insect in his body, preventing it from wreaking havoc and forcing it to a corner where it struggled to survive.Thunk...Just as he took a long breath, someone entered the cave, accompanied by a gust of wind and light. It was the successor of the temple, Otto.Whoosh...Otto moved in a flash and appeared in front of Andrius.Before Andrius could ask questions, he suddenly swung a knife toward Andrius’ neck. The strike seemed slow but carried immense force.If it connected, Andri
“You need to completely remove the Spirit-devouring Insect and face three moves from me. There is no other way. Don’t even think about taking a step out without my approval.”After saying that, Otto moved his hands behind his back and swiftly left the cave.Andrius fell silent.Then, he made up his mind to continue cultivating, hoping to deal with the insect as soon as possible and then leave this place.At the same time, something major was happening outside.In the East River State, several dozens of people disappeared daily in Sumeria. Whether it was from checking surveillance or interviewing the locals, there were no clues to the disappearances. It was as if those people had evaporated.In addition, a strange illness was spreading in Sumeria and its surroundings. Once infected, the person would become lethargic, physically weak, and drained of energy, making them extremely frail. Even holding up a fork to eat became extremely challenging.The combination of these two events
