Chapter 287 – Dragon Princess

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several hundred light-blue lightning bolts bombarded Shi Feng continuously, the clash between stars and lightning bolts sending echoes of explosions spreading across the entire island.

98%… 96%… 94%…

Because Firenze held absolute control over his Spell, there was no use in trying to deflect or make use of his attacks. Shi Feng could only block the attacks, and there were no opportunities to be seized.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng’s HP had already fallen close to 50%. Yet, when all of the several hundred lightning bolts disappeared from the battlefield, Shi Feng remained standing in mid-air. Although he had less than 5% of his HP remaining, there was no doubt he was still alive.

He didn’t die? Meteor subconsciously gaped in shock when he saw that Shi Feng hadn’t been reduced to ashes. Is he a monster?

Firenze was not only a Tier 5 Demon King, but he was also a Demon Monarch among the Demon race. He was as strong as a six-winged Valkyrie of the same level and tier. In a situation where he had free rein over his Tier 5 Spells, he could obliterate a medium-sized NPC City all by himself.

Yet, Shi Feng had survived one of Firenze’s Tier 5 Spells without dodging, deflecting, or manipulating. He had blocked and survived a Tier 5 Demon King’s Tier 5 Spell despite being only a Tier 4 player. If Meteor were to tell this matter to others, they would definitely call him a liar.

After all, a Tier 5 Demon King’s Tier 5 Spell was not only powerful, but it also had a very high attack frequency and attack count. It wasn’t something a Tier 4 player could resist simply by activating a Berserk Skill.

He survived even an attack like that? Could he be wielding a Legendary Weapon? Star Snail, who had caught up to Meteor, couldn’t help but look at Shi Feng in confusion.

It wasn’t impossible for Tier 4 players to hold their ground against Tier 5 monsters. However, players typically did so by deflecting monsters’ attacks. If players were to go up against a Tier 5 monster with Absolute Control, they would need a Legendary Weapon to stand a chance.

However, Legendary Weapons required a lot of time to obtain. It was why Legendary Weapons were considerably rare even in the Greater God’s Domain. Seeing as the Miniature Ancient World had only opened up not long ago, there was no way anyone could have gotten their hands on a Legendary Weapon already.

If Shi Feng truly was in possession of a Legendary Weapon, neither she nor Meteor would be a match for him.

Any fourth-floor expert wielding a Legendary Weapon could wipe the floor with them in their current state. Even as an MT, Star Snail doubted she could last more than 30 seconds against such an opponent. Not to mention, Shi Feng was even an expert who had mastered a Saint-rank Mana Technique.

However, what Star Snail did not know was that Shi Feng was in possession of the Tier 4 Overtier Spell Demon God’s Armament, the Spell increasing the effects of all of his weapons and equipment by 100%. Not only did this Spell boost his Basic Attributes drastically, but it also allowed his Physique and reaction speed to undergo a qualitative transformation. Hence, he barely managed to keep up with Demon King Firenze’s attacks.

Of course, out of the several hundred lightning bolts, only about a hundred had managed to hit him. Otherwise, even with Demon God’s Armament’s buffs, he would still be blown into smithereens.

Meanwhile, Death Omen fell silent when she saw this outcome from a distance.

Originally, Death Omen thought that Shi Feng would, at most, be a little stronger than Meteor. She thought that even if Shi Feng could win against Meteor, it would be a close victory. Hence, she felt that if Meteor and Star Snail were to work together, there would be no way Zero Wing’s team could leave this island alive.

But now… Even if the rest of the Paimon Conglomerate’s Tier 4 experts worked together with Meteor and Star Snail, it was unlikely they’d have any hopes of winning against Shi Feng…

Is this Guild Leader Black Flame’s true strength? Colorful Lunarite’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she had just seen. At the same time, she also understood why Shi Feng had reacted so calmly to seeing the Paimon Conglomerate’s Meteor and Star Snail.

With Shi Feng’s presence, Zero Wing was practically guaranteed to secure Crying Sea City’s Medium Shipyard now.

While everyone was feeling shocked and surprised, Shi Feng promptly charged into the temple as soon as he finished blocking Firenze’s lightning bolts. Although Firenze tried to stop Shi Feng, Shi Feng was too fast, so Firenze could only watch as Shi Feng entered the temple.

It really is the Dragon Princess!

After entering the temple, Shi Feng drank a Master Regeneration Potion he took out from his bag while observing a woman suspended in the middle of the temple’s hall.

The woman wore a holy dress and a silver crown. Her face was as delicate as snow, and she was seemingly asleep as her eyes were tightly shut.

Meanwhile, this holy woman was none other than the Dragon Princess Kelisha in Shi Feng’s memories!

However, before Shi Feng could further scrutinize the holy woman, the threefold barrier outside the temple suddenly shattered. At the same time, another threefold barrier formed at the temple’s entrance, sealing the temple shut.

At this time, Firenze had also appeared inside the temple’s hall. Calmly, he looked at Shi Feng and said, “I have to say that you are very lucky to be able to reach this place, heaven’s blessed. I even had to retract all my strength just to deal with you. However, you are all out of luck now!”

As soon as Firenze finished speaking, the density of the mana around him rapidly increased in density, doubling in the blink of an eye. The intensity of the aura he radiated was also vastly stronger than before.

“Guild Leader!” Su Qianliu immediately grew worried when he saw Demon King Firenze becoming even stronger than before.

If the previous Firenze was equated to a puppy, the current Firenze was akin to an adult tiger in his prime. There was simply no comparison between the two…

“The barrier is gone! All of you retreat immediately!” Shi Feng shouted through the team chat when he saw that Su Qianliu and the others intended to charge into the temple. “None of us will be leaving alive if you come in!”

. Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Su Qianliu and the others gritted their teeth and reluctantly retreated from the temple.

Despite their reluctance, Su Qianliu and the others understood that not even Tier 4 players could resist the current Firenze, let alone Tier 3 players like themselves. If they stood before Firenze, even moving their bodies would become a challenge, let alone fighting the Demon King. They would only drag down Shi Feng if they chose to stay.

Meteor was similarly surprised when he saw the change in Firenze’s strength. Without hesitation, he commanded, “Change of plans! Everyone, retreat immediately!”

After saying so, Meteor fled the area immediately, not daring to stay here even a moment longer. The violent mana Firenze currently radiated could already affect his movements. He had never experienced this situation when facing other Tier 5 monsters.

Firenze paid no heed to the withdrawal of the teams of Zero Wing and the Paimon Conglomerate. Instead, he looked at Shi Feng with a friendly smile and said, “Now that your friends have left, I hope you do not disappoint me. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to use them to compensate for my disappointment!”

It’s all or nothing!

When Shi Feng saw that Firenze was about to make a move, he dashed up to Kalisha and cut apart the chains binding her hands. He prayed that this would awaken Kalisha. Otherwise, he really would be dying here today.

Chapter 288 – End of the Line

Land of Ancient Dragons, outer zone’s shore:

“With this much distance between us, that Demon King will need some time to catch up to us. If we split up now, many of us should get out of here alive,” Meteor said, sighing in relief as he looked back at the distant temple.

Demon King Firenze’s sudden transformation was never mentioned in the information they collected, so they didn’t have any countermeasures prepared.

An increase to the density of one’s mana could provide significant improvements even to ordinary players, let alone a monster capable of casting Spells. If Firenze were to use the Spatial Smash and Dark Paradise combination again, none of them would be able to move a muscle.

“We might be safe now, but we have also failed our mission…” Star Snail said worriedly. “After this failure, the conglomerate is unlikely to let us take on such an important mission again for the foreseeable future.”

The important mission she spoke of was crucial for the Paimon Conglomerate’s internal geniuses to improve their standings in the conglomerate. Meanwhile, they only had one opportunity to challenge these missions each month. Moreover, should they fail to complete an important mission, they would be prohibited from challenging another for several months.

“It is indeed a huge loss for us. Meeting Zero Wing here is also outside of our expectations,” Meteor said as he turned to look at Su Qianliu and the others, who were currently recuperating some distance away. Then, in a cold tone, he continued, “Zero Wing is much more dangerous than we initially thought. If we don’t take care of Zero Wing now, it will become a hindrance for the conglomerate in the Miniature Ancient World.”

“I agree.” Star Snail nodded. “Moreover, they should have discovered the Land of Ancient Dragons’ Seven Luminaries Crystals. If they publicize this matter, it will increase the number of competitors we have to face.”

Seven Luminaries Crystals were incredibly precious even to the Paimon Conglomerate. Meanwhile, an ore vein capable of producing up to 3,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal per day was incredibly rare and precious.

Every God’s Domain was the basis of development for a civilization. Because of this, every God’s Domain would have a local system favoring native players heavily. If players were to enter a foreign God’s Domain, they would typically be subjected to the world’s suppression and have their tiers reduced by one.

For example, should a Tier 6 player enter a foreign God’s Domain, they would be forcibly suppressed to Tier 5. In such a situation, there was no way these foreign Tier 6 players could go up against the native Tier 6 players. After all, the gap between Tier 5 and Tier 6 players was no longer one that could be overcome with numbers.

Unless a power had overwhelming strength, it would have an incredibly difficult time occupying a foreign God’s Domain. Because of this, one could easily imagine how valuable the Land of Ancient Dragons’ ore vein was.

So, to reduce the competition the Paimon Conglomerate had to face later on, it was best if they got rid of Zero Wing’s team right here and now. Coincidentally, there was an easy way to accomplish this in the Land of Ancient Dragons—the Spirit Devourers. With the Spirit Devourers’ help, they could permanently erase players from God’s Domain.

“Should we attack them now?” Death Omen asked, a look of interest on her face.

If they could deal a heavy blow to Zero Wing’s main force now, Zero Wing would have its activities in the Miniature Ancient World severely restricted.

…

On the other side, Su Qianliu and the others also quickly noticed what the Paimon Conglomerate’s team was planning.

“They’re coming closer. It seems they plan to attack us…” Su Qianliu grew a little anxious when she saw Meteor and the others moving closer and closer to their team.

After witnessing the strength Meteor and Star Snail displayed, Su Qianliu did not think even for a moment that Zero Wing’s main force could win against the Paimon Conglomerate’s team. In fact, Meteor alone was probably enough to wipe the floor with Zero Wing’s main force.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“We are not far from the warship,” Colorful Lunarite suddenly said. “So long as we can board the warship, we’ll have a chance to shake them off our tails.”

“In that case, I’ll stay behind and buy us time,” Su Qianliu said.

Despite what Colorful Lunarite said, Su Qianliu did not think their team was near the warship. Even though they had reached the shore already, they would still need to run for at least half an hour before they could reach and board the warship. This much time was more than enough for the Paimon Conglomerate’s experts to annihilate Zero Wing’s main force.

“You don’t need to do that. We only need to fight as we retreat,” Colorful Lunarite said, shaking her head. “Also, I’m afraid I am currently the only one in our team who can keep Meteor distracted.”

Only fourth-floor experts could keep someone like Meteor distracted. Anyone weaker would be dead in one move.

Su Qianliu and the others might have learned many Silver Combat Techniques, but their combat standards were significantly inferior to even the Green God Corporation’s internal experts. They would only be throwing their lives away pointlessly if they tried to fight Meteor.

Subsequently, Colorful Lunarite, Su Qianliu, and the others began frantically withdrawing in the Bronze Warship’s direction.

When Meteor saw Colorful Lunarite and the others running away, he laughed and said, “Do you honestly think you can help Zero Wing’s members escape, Lunarite?”

Meteor had interacted with Colorful Lunarite some years ago, so he knew she was an internal genius nurtured by the Green God Corporation. With her strength, Colorful Lunarite could indeed be regarded as a powerful expert among the various hegemonic powers. However, against him, she didn’t even have a chance of running away with her life.

Immediately, Meteor dashed forward, his body transforming into a streak of light that rapidly approached Zero Wing’s main force.

Although Su Qianliu and the others possessed Basic Attributes rivaling Tier 4 players, there was inherently a huge difference in Movement Speed between Tier 3 and Tier 4 players. This was because actual Tier 4 players could fly even without the help of a Mana Domain.

Subsequently, the distance between Meteor and Zero Wing’s main force rapidly shrunk.

1,500 yards… 1,000 yards… 500 yards…

“This is the end of the line!”

When Meteor saw that there were less than 200 yards between him and Zero Wing’s main force, he promptly reached for his sword. At this distance, Zero Wing’s main force was already within his attack range.

Whoosh!

However, just as Meteor was about to draw his sword, a sword light suddenly tore through space and flew at him from a distance. Fortunately, his instincts kicked in, and he dodged the unexpected attack in the nick of time.

“Who is it?! Who dares to interfere with the Paimon Conglomerate’s actions?!” Meteor bellowed as he turned to look at where the sword light came from, his expression turning indescribably ugly.

Previously, Meteor had only dodged the attack out of instinct, so he didn’t find the attack to be anything remarkable. However, he quickly changed his mind when he saw the spatial tear that measured over 500 yards in length. No matter how he looked at it, this attack range was inhuman.

“I have no idea what is going on since I was only passing by, but I cannot turn a blind eye to you chasing after Zero Wing’s retreating members,” said a peerless beauty with long light-blue hair and a silver crown on her head as she stepped out of the spatial fissure. Then, looking at Meteor, the woman continued, “Since you intend to harm Zero Wing’s members, how about I, Laura Crader, be your opponent?”

Chapter 289 – Another Monster?

“Commander Laura?”

Su Qianliu stopped running as she turned to look at the figure that had emerged from the dense forest and stood in Meteor’s way, her eyes widening in shock.

It had already been some time since Laura Crader had disappeared from the Asura Mercenary Alliance. Outsiders might not know what Laura Crader had left to do, but Su Qianliu knew that Laura had left to challenge her Tier 4 promotion. So, logically, Laura wouldn’t appear in the Land of Ancient Dragons.

Is she the woman mentioned in the reports? When Colorful Lunarite saw Laura, she couldn’t help but scrutinize the other party out of curiosity.

According to the information the Green God Corporation gathered, Laura Crader was one of the few fourth-floor experts belonging to the Asura Mercenary Alliance. The corporation had even suspected that Laura might be a titled expert.

However, because Laura had suddenly disappeared after the Myriad Worlds’ Descent expansion pack took effect, the various powers gradually stopped paying attention to her. At this point, the name of Laura Crader was all but forgotten in the Miniature Ancient World.

So, Colorful Lunarite didn’t think that Laura Crader would appear in the Land of Ancient Dragons of all places.

Moreover, it was obvious that Laura was no longer the same as when she last fought in the Boundary Mountain Range. The aura she exuded clearly indicated that she had already reached Tier 4 and become a bona fide Sword Emperor.

However, after their brief surprise, a wave of unease also spread in the hearts of Su Qianliu and Colorful Lunarite.

Tier 4 players might stand at the top of the current Miniature Ancient World, but one Tier 4 player was unlikely to be enough to stop the Paimon Conglomerate’s team. It was especially true for the likes of Meteor and Star Snail. The two were far stronger than the average titled expert.

“You want to be our opponent? Do you think you are worthy of that?!” Death Omen sneered contemptuously as she looked at Laura Crader. Then, she immediately poised herself to resume chasing Su Qianliu and the others.

It was true that Laura Crader had shown incredible strength at the Boundary Mountain Range. It was also true that she had reached Tier 4 already. With her achievements, even the various hegemonic powers would have to be wary of her.

However, it was a different story for the Paimon Conglomerate. The conglomerate’s team of geniuses was vastly superior to the teams the various hegemonic powers could come up with. Not even the God List’s top five experts would dare to act arrogantly in front of the conglomerate’s genius team, let alone ordinary titled experts.

Yet, the moment Death Omen took her first step, an arm suddenly appeared in her path, blocking her advance.

“Commander Meteor?”

Death Omen looked at the person blocking her path, her mind failing to understand what Meteor was trying to do.

However, at the same time as Death Omen posed her question, she also noticed a strange situation.

Whether it was the Crimson Sword Emperor Meteor or the Divine Shield Star Snail, neither wore their previous look of nonchalance. Instead, replacing their calm expression was a solemn one. Even their eyes carried strong hints of alertness. This was a reaction they would normally only make when they were going up against experts capable of threatening them.

While watching Laura Crader slowly making her way over, Meteor said in a low tone, “Don’t act rashly. This person isn’t simple.”

“Not simple?” Death Omen was surprised. “Could it be that even you are not confident in dealing with her, Commander Meteor?”

“I can’t be sure without fighting her,” Meteor said. “But I am certain she is not weaker than Black Flame.”

“Not weaker than Black Flame?” When Death Omen heard Meteor’s evaluation, she couldn’t help but take another look at Laura Crader, her mind in disbelief.

Death Omen had already witnessed Black Flame’s strength. He was a monster capable of surviving the full-powered attack of a Tier 5 Demon King despite being only a Tier 4 player. This was a feat not even Meteor and Star Snail could accomplish.

Honestly, Death Omen already had a hard time accepting the fact that Zero Wing had such a monster in its midst. Yet, now, she was being told that the Asura Mercenary Alliance’s Laura Crader was also a monster on Black Flame’s standard? How could she possibly believe this?

It should be known that the Asura Mercenary Alliance was only a group of nobodies gathered by Zero Wing. Its strength couldn’t even compare to the local Super Guilds, let alone the Flower of Seven Sins. So, how could a monster of Black Flame’s caliber possibly appear in the mercenary alliance?

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Amidst Death Omen’s daze, Meteor began walking toward Laura Crader.

“Commander Laura, since you wish to intervene in Zero Wing’s affairs, would you be willing to block three of my attacks? If you block all three, my team will give up on targeting Zero Wing’s team. However, if you can’t, I hope you will stop interfering in this matter. What do you think?” Meteor asked as he unsheathed the broken sword he carried on his back.

Death Omen sighed in relief when she heard Meteor’s words.

The Flower of Seven Sins had no control over the Paimon Conglomerate’s actions. If Meteor did not wish to fight Laura Crader for the Flower of Seven Sins, there was nothing Death Omen could do about it.

However, by the looks of things, it would seem that Meteor planned to try and fight Laura Crader.

Meanwhile, should Laura Crader refuse Meteor’s suggestion or fail to block Meteor’s attacks, Zero Wing’s main force would be doomed.

Laura Crader was a little surprised by Meteor’s suggestion. Then, she calmly responded, “Alright, I agree with your conditions. If I can block three of your attacks, I will have to ask you to cease your actions against Zero Wing.”

“Of course. I always keep my word.”

Meteor nodded and raised his broken sword with both hands. Immediately, the aura he radiated skyrocketed in intensity, his aura not at all inferior to when he had his Berserk Skill activated during his fight with Demon King Firenze. It was obvious that he treated Laura Crader as a formidable enemy.

They’re having a one-on-one fight?

Colorful Lunarite gaped in shock when she saw this development from a distance. She never thought Meteor would choose to fight Laura Crader in a one-on-one duel.

The Paimon Conglomerate’s team held a significant numbers advantage. Logically, even if Laura Crader was now a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, she could, at most, hold Meteor back by herself, while the Paimon Conglomerate’s team’s remaining nine Tier 4 experts would have free rein. Meanwhile, these nine Tier 4 experts would be more than enough to annihilate Zero Wing’s team. So, there was no need for Meteor to go through the hassle of challenging Laura to a duel.

The only reason Meteor would take such a course of action was that he felt that Laura Crader alone was strong enough to pose a significant threat to his team, and Colorful Lunarite found this situation to be absolutely astonishing.

Before Colorful Lunarite could recover from her shock, Meteor’s broken sword had transformed into hundreds of threads that attacked Laura Crader from various directions.

Each of these threads carried enough power to tear apart space and heavily injure Superior Mythic monsters of the same level. Moreover, they could even increase their power by forming weaves of ten threads or more.

Tier 4 Advanced Silver Combination Combat Technique, Thousand Threads!

How foolish of her to give Meteor time to execute Thousand Threads!

When Death Omen saw Laura Crader patiently waiting for Meteor to attack her, she couldn’t help but laugh in her mind.

Anyone familiar with Meteor would know about his trademark move, Thousand Threads. It was an attack that combined the Tier 4 Legacy Skill Spatial Dicing and the Advanced Silver Combat Technique Tornado.

It was with this move that Meteor had injured Saint Nine, the third-ranked player on the God-ranked Expert List. Had Saint Nine not activated an Invulnerability Skill in time, he would have definitely died to this move.

The only flaw in this combination attack was its somewhat long execution time. However, so long as Meteor successfully executed the combination attack, his opponents would die without fail unless they possessed an Invulnerability Skill.

Subsequently, the several hundred threads could be seen attacking Laura Crader from all directions. Yet, even as the threads closed on her, Laura did not make any movements. She didn’t even draw the longsword hanging by her waist.

Boom!

The sound of a loud explosion shook the area, followed by a blinding light that brightly illuminated the entire coastline. The light was so dazzling that everyone found it difficult to look at the source directly.

When the blinding light faded, Laura could be seen standing in her original position, her right hand sheathing the longsword she had drawn without anyone’s notice. As for the threads that previously covered the sky, they had vanished as if they never existed…

“That’s not right. Why did I have to hide just now?” Su Yanyun suddenly asked.

She had been shocked by the sound of the people outside hitting the door. So when Rong Linyi wanted to hide her, she was as agreeable as a little white rabbit and obediently hid?

Su Yanyun’s expression became… a little complicated.

Come on, she was Rong Linyi’s rightful and legal wife.

As long as they were not on the streets, it was not illegal to get intimate with her hubby anywhere, okay?

That bunch of people, on the other hand, came and smashed the door rudely. They didn’t have any manners at all!

Rong Linyi was at a loss for words.

The usually calm and composed Young Master Yi seemed to be at a loss for the first time.

“Because.” He hesitated for a long time before finding a reason. “This is my sister’s room. You saw how she looked just now…”

Su Yanyun widened her eyes.

Coupled with her puffed up cheeks, she looked more like a pufferfish than usual.

What!

They were actually in his sister’s room…

“But she has never stayed here before.” Rong Linyi immediately explained. “She’s basically overseas and only comes back a few times a year, so it’s even rarer for her to come here. This is the first time we’re staying here…”

Su Yanyun was silent.

Her puffed up cheeks faded and her pretty face hardened.

Rong Linyi didn’t know why she suddenly felt so down.

He had already explained it to her, and he had never lowered himself before. Why was she still so unhappy?

This sort of uncontrollable feeling made him frown.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Rong Linyi’s fingers pinched Su Yanyun’s chin and forced her to look up.

“Smile.” His expression was cold, and the unhappiness in his voice was obvious.

Su Yanyun couldn’t smile.

After such a long time, the effect of the drug had completely faded and her mind was clearer than ever.

Seeing the cold clarity in her eyes, Rong Linyi felt angry for no reason.

He couldn’t control his woman, but she could affect his emotions at any time. This sort of passive feeling made him even more frustrated.

“Su Yanyun, do you think that you can do whatever you want just because we’re married?” Rong Linyi’s voice was cold.

He just wanted to see her gentle and adorable self.

When the two of them were together, it felt so good, and they had been so affectionate.

Why did Su Yanyun feel so strange after being disturbed?

Could it be that she would only open her arms to him at that time?

Rong Linyi suddenly strode towards the bed with his woman in his arms.

When he placed Su Yanyun on the bed and roughly pulled off her pajamas, Su Yanyun exclaimed. “Hubby, what are you doing?”

Rong Linyi had already leaned over. This time, his intentions were clear and he even wanted to skip the foreplay.

“I want to continue the unfinished business.”

Rong Linyi’s answer was simple and crude.

His behavior was even more direct. He pressed down Su Yanyun’s hands and pushed her legs with his knees.

Since she only became gentle in bed, then wouldn’t it be fine if he made her unable to get off the bed?

Chapter 249 – Lu Jue, pleading to be liked, was much better than any other boys. (1)

Edited by: Lulu

Lu Jue was candid and cute. Ning Zhi felt that she was falling more and more for him.

Especially when he was looking at her with his pitch-black eyes. Ning Zhi felt that there was a little bunny in her chest that was bouncing around nonstop.

She couldn’t help but reach out and pinch him on his cheek. Lu Jue’s skin was cold and fair. Its quality was incredibly good, and it felt nice to the touch. “What about your work?”

Lu Jue let Ning Zhi touch him on his cheek all she wanted. He blinked and then replied, “Worked, but still missed Zhizhi.”

Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat. Oh boy. How was she supposed to resist this sweet, handsome man?

When they returned to the Lu’s, even though Mother Lu had already listened to Wei Xing catching her up on Lu Jue’s progress in the office today, she still cared about him and wanted to ask her son herself.

“Xiao Jue, did you get used to being in the office today?” Mother Lu wasn’t worried that her son would be bullied. He had an assistant there, after all. She worried more on whether he got used to the environment or was scared of being around the others.

Ning Zhi was still worried that Lu Jue would say something that would embarrass her. But her worries were unfounded because the next second, she heard Lu Jue give a “Mmm” in response to Mother Lu. And then that was it.

Mother Lu was delighted when she received his response.

Lu Shenyuan smiled and started to talk. “It’s a good thing that Little Brother is working in the office. He had gotten so much better compared to how he was in the past. Much like the experts had told us in the past, he is getting better and better.”

Lu Shenyuan had come to the Lu’s today because he had learned that Lu Jue had gone to the office today. He wanted to find out what was going on.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Mother Lu nodded happily. “He will respond back to me when I talk to him now.”

A strange look crossed Lu Shenyuan’s face, but he was still able to maintain a smile on his cold face. “That’s great. You must let me know if you run into any troubles at work, Little Brother. I will help you take care of them right away.”

He went on to say, “I’ll let the others on the team know to look after you.

“Besides, Little Brother had just returned to the office and shouldn’t take on too much work right away. He should take his time on adjusting and familiarizing himself. We shouldn’t rush this.”

Lu Shenyuan asked Mother Lu, “Should I look for someone to take care of Xiao Jue and show him the ropes?”

Ning Zhi narrowed her eyes. Ever since she had seen through Lu Shenyuan, no matter what he said now, she just found them fake. Lu Shenyuan was a wolf under a sheep’s skin. He could be very good at disguising himself, but he could never hide that gloomy look in his eyes.

“That won’t be necessary. Wei Xing, Xiao Jue’s former assistant, is pretty good. I had already talked to him and had him resume the role as Xiao Jue’s assistant. At least Xiao Jue does not resist him.”

“That’s nice that he has an assistant that he is familiar with. That way, Little Brother would not need to take time to adapt to someone new.” Lu Shenyuan looked a lot like a caring older brother. He would talk about Lu Jue with Mother Lu all the time.

Mother Lu nodded repeatedly as Lu Shenyuan talked. Had Ning Zhi not known better, even she would have fallen for Lu Shenyuan’s act as a sincere, good Big Brother who cared a lot about his little brother Lu Jue.

Ning Zhi’s eyes dimmed. The more perfect Lu Shenyuan’s disguise was, the harder it was for her to reveal him. It would be tough to take care of him without real proof that could take him down with one shot.

Ning Zhi suddenly felt that Lu Jue had held onto her hand. His long and slender fingers intertwined with hers tightly, and he was looking at her quietly and blankly.

Ning Zhi smiled. Lu Shenyuan was wicked like an old wolf, while her Lu Jue was simple like an innocent puppy.

She needed to do her best to protect this little puppy, so he wouldn’t be eaten by the big bad wolf.

Chu Xuan looked at Ding Yue, who was behaving arrogantly and pretentiously. He was speechless. As expected of the son of fate of the Southern Region.

Ding Yue looked miserable, but he had not been seriously injured.

Moreover, after taking the Emperor-level pill, his injuries had healed quickly and he recovered to his peak condition.

It was not an exaggeration to say that even two or three half-step emperor realm experts could not harm Ding Yue.

Just consuming a single Emperor-level pill was sufficient to exhaust one or two of them.

Even if he could not win, he would still be able to escape.

Chu Xuan’s disciples had all been taught concealment and escape techniques.

If Ding Yue really wanted to escape, even ten of them would not be sufficient to kill him.

The Nine Swords Mountain elder looked gloomy. He did not say a word and continued to gather his aura and sword intent.

Liu Pingfeng was still inwardly regretting his decision.

He should not have gotten involved.

True, he had been called an old cur, and his reputation had been damaged, but what was the big deal?

The price of his actions was that he had completely offended Ding Yue.

He had a premonition that they would not be able to kill Ding Yue today!

What was even more terrifying was, just what kind of expert was Ding Yue’s master?

Those Emperor-level pills had been refined by his junior brother?

It did not seem like he was lying.

Was there actually such a mysterious and powerful expert hiding in the Southern Region?

Could it be that he came here because of the Asura Ancient Land?

The red-bearded old man’s face was solemn as he stared at Ding Yue’s arrogant face without saying a word.

There was no turning back now.

It was useless to regret things now.

After killing Ding Yue, they would have to face the anger of his master.

The Southern Region’s Heavenly Cauldron Mountain’s strength was limited. If the other party had truly reached the Emperor realm, they definitely would not be able to withstand his anger.

Unless the other party was merciful.

However, no matter what, if he killed Ding Yue and provoked an Emperor realm expert, even if the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain was not destroyed, he would definitely die!

The Nine Swords Mountain elder was still gathering his strength. Since Ding Yue was waiting for him to gather his strength, they naturally could not miss this opportunity.

Since things had come to this, they could only do their best to kill Ding Yue!

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ancient ruin shook, and a ray of light shot up into the sky from afar.

“Haha…”

The Evil King’s wild laughter could be faintly heard.

A supreme treasure had appeared, and it was highly likely that the Evil King had obtained it.

“Not good! Quickly, go explore the ancient ruin.”

Han Yingmeng’s expression changed as she said.

She no longer paid attention to the fight. She led the people from the Floating Flower Pavilion and headed deeper into the ancient ruin.

Ding Yue took a brief look. The treasure had been obtained by the Evil King?

How could that be allowed>

Although the treasures in the ancient ruin might not be worth his attention, he could not let others have them.

He, Ding Yue, had already come. How could he return empty-handed?

“I won’t play with you old farts anymore. I’m going to look for treasures.”

Ding Yue’s figure flashed, leaving behind an afterimage. In an instant, he was already ten thousand feet away, and his figure quickly disappeared without a trace.

He was so fast that Liu Pingfeng and the red-bearded elder had no time to stop him.

At this moment, the expressions of the three experts changed drastically.

Ding Yue had escaped!

He had easily escaped from their hands.

The speed of his escape and the concealment techniques were completely off the charts.

They realized that if Ding Yue wanted to escape, even ten of them might not be able to stop him, let alone four.

Did he stay around just to kill one of them to establish his prestige?

There was a bitter taste in Liu Pingfeng’s mouth. He had made a grave mistake!

He had offended such an expert. If the other party became enemies with the Great Qian Dynasty, it would be troublesome.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Fortunately, Ding Yue had a grudge with Nine Swords Mountain, so he would not stand on the Great Qin Dynasty’s side either.

Liu Pingfeng did not know how the Great Qian Dynasty’s exploration team was doing, but they were in danger. Actually, he was in danger too!

It would not be too difficult for Ding Yue to kill him.

Ding Yue, who was at the ninth level of the truth realm, had already killed one of them. Once he broke through to the half-step emperor realm, no one below the emperor realm would be his match.

Liu Pingfeng even suspected that Ding Yue would not bother with the half-step emperor realm, but would directly break through to the Emperor realm!

In short, offending Ding Yue was the biggest mistake of his life!

Deep within the ruin, in a dilapidated palace, there was a corpse lying on the ground.

Even after so many years, this corpse had not rotted away. It was only slightly withered.

From this, it could be seen that the other party had been extremely powerful when he was alive. Furthermore, his physical body was extremely powerful. It was highly likely that he was an expert who specialized in body tempering.

After all, the fact that his body had not rotted away after such a long period of time was evidence of his strength.

A blade was stuck inside the corpse.

The Evil King pulled out the blade. The moment the blade left the corpse, the dilapidated palace shook and a ray of light burst forth from the blade.

Emperor-level weapon!

It was a high-grade Emperor-level weapon!

The Evil King laughed maniacally in excitement.

The two evil commanders who followed the evil king had extremely ugly expressions. He actually laughed maniacally after obtaining the treasure?

Why could he not keep a low profile?

Chu Xuan watched the scene where the Evil King obtained the Emperor-level weapon through the Heaven-spying Mirror. He was speechless. The soul seal would not affect one’s IQ, right?

Why did it feel like there was something wrong with the Evil King?

It seemed like there was really something wrong with his brain.

Could it be that cultivating evil techniques would really cause problems in one’s brain?

Chu Xuan naturally would not care about a mere Emperor-level weapon.

He looked at the corpse and roughly judged that the other party should have been a Supreme realm cultivator when he was alive.

Moreover, he was a cultivator with a strong body.

He recalled some information he had obtained from the Black Moon Tower regarding Bai Sheng Mountain.

Bai Sheng Mountain was a sect that specialized in body tempering. It was rumored that they possessed a body tempering technique that was ranked in the top three in the Southern Region.

There were not many corpses in the ruin. Most had either been turned into ashes during the great battle back then, or had rotted away without a trace over the long years.

Even though the Bai Sheng Mountain sect had been destroyed during the great war back then, they had still left behind countless treasures.

Especially the broken Emperor-level weapons, which would be useful as materials for refining other artifacts.

There were also many precious medicines growing in a medicinal garden, some of which were extremely rare in the Southern Region.

Moreover, they were all very ancient.

Where there were benefits, there would naturally be fights.

Chu Xuan had already seen a few fights break out over these treasures.

The Heavenly Cauldron Mountain fought with Nine Swords Mountain, while the Floating Flower Pavilion fought with the evil imperial court, and the other powers fought with a few itinerant cultivators.

As for Qin Changfang from the Great Qin Dynasty, he was in an awkward situation.

He was weaker, and many people had their eyes on him, especially the Great Qian Dynasty’s experts.

Had it not been for the protection of Nine Swords Mountain’s experts, he would have been killed when he obtained the first treasure.

Ding Yue immediately rushed towards the medicinal garden.

Cultivation techniques and emperor weapons were worthless to him.

So what if there was a Heavenly weapon?

Could it be compared to his Divine sword?

He did not lack cultivation and secret techniques; the ones his master gave him were several levels higher even.

The spiritual herbs were what he cared about the most.

The pocket dimension was rich in resources and contained countless heavenly and earthly treasures, but their consumption of those resources was also rapid.

The growth rate of natural treasures would never be as fast as the consumption rate, and Wang Luo’s consumption was even greater because he practiced alchemy.

Ding Yue immediately located the most ancient herb garden.

His speed was extremely fast, so he was the first to arrive.

Even though there was a protective barrier that remained, it was easily shattered by him.

After so many years, this protective barrier that no one had been maintaining barely had a sliver of power left.

With a wave of his hand, jade boxes that were used to store the natural treasures all floated around his body as he quickly picked and plucked the spirit herbs.

He began by picking the rarer and more valuable spirit herbs that were older.

“Whose body are we going to set on fire?”

“It has to have a soul similar to Sophia, and it would be good if it’s the same gender and has similar fate. Having the same eye color and the same blood flowing would be better…….”

At Maria’s rambling words, Miller buried his face in his hands. He could see why Maria looked scared. He felt like she was going crazy. Miller asked Maria.

“Where on earth would you find a child like that…….”

“There is.”

“Maria.”

“Don’t you remember?”

She’s telling him to kill his sister.

When Sofia and Jessica were born their fathers were of the same age. Since they are aunt and niece, they have the same blood, and both of their eyes are dark green. So, if they set Jessica’s body on fire…… It means, Sophia will live.

“Make up your mind.”

“……Maria.”

“You should do anything for your daughter.”

Maria’s warm hand came over Miller’s trembling hand. It was a very friendly and warm consolation for a man who was asked to kill his sister.

But he did not need comfort. Miller’s body is shaking…… he was happy.

I can finally get rid of her….

“Brother!”

Jessica Bruno ran out when Miller asked her to take a walk after a long time. He said she was always in the mansion so her skin was so pale. Jessica, who was running with a big smile, stood by Miller’s side and stopped smiling.

“Oh, I heard about Sophia……. I haven’t even been able to visit her.”

“It’s all right.”

“Her fever needs to go down quickly.”

“I’m using good medicine, so she’ll get better soon.”

“If there’s anything I can do, tell me, brother.”

“What do you mean, anything?”

“She’s my only niece, I’ll do whatever I can …….”

“Really, anything.”

Miller smiled at Jessica. Jessica was puzzled for a moment by her brother’s smile but she also smiled brightly.

And it was that day. He locked Jessica in a separate building used as a warehouse and set her on fire. He dragged Jessica along with only two people he could trust.

Jessica knocked on the door and shouted for help. Miller smiled unconsciously. Strangely, the corners of his mouth kept going up. After a while, Jessica’s screams were not heard.

“I feel like she’s dead.”

“Get her body.”

“What?”

“Jessica Bruno unfortunately burned to death when she met a lone man in the detached house.”

“……Yes.”

“Prepare the funeral in grand style.”

After saying that, Miller Bruno turned around and headed for the mansion. He couldn’t hold back his laughter while walking.

Father, why didn’t you cast a spell on Jessica Bruno instead of the will…….

At the door of the mansion, Maria was looking at Miller with tearful eyes. Miller paused and stared at Maria. Maria nodded her head.

The blessing of the demon was given to the Bruno family.

***

“Do you really hear that?”

Lucas asked Estin, who was lost in thought, looking out the window from the carriage back to the castle. Estin looked at Lucas as if to ask what he was talking about.

“At Bruno’s mansion earlier. Did you really hear her crying?”

“Is that what you mean?”

Estin laughed in vain. But Lucas was gazing at Estin with a twinkle in his eyes, as if he had been really curious.

“Only a few people know that Miller Bruno killed his sister.”

“Right.”

“But did you really hear the cry?”

“…….”

Estin just kept silent on Lucas’ questions. Lucas noticed. That Estin really heard a cry in the mansion.

“It’s sad.”

“You’re not scared?”

“It’s sad. She’s still crying like that.”

“Hmm.”

“He gave her a big funeral at the time.”

Lucas put his right hand on his left chest as if it were really heartbreaking. At that time, he recalled the funeral and prayed for the repose of the deceased. He hopes she will go to a good place.

“But does your excellency see ghosts?”

“They received a blessing from the demons.”

“……yes?”

Lucas frowned at the unexpected remark.

He heard it before. A spell performed by the manaless people to forcibly perform some ‘miracle’. It is said that it is an opportunity for those who are at the edge of a cliff that are greedy and full of malice. So, people called it the ‘Blessing of the demons’.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Is it true that the people who receive the blessings of the demons can hear the cry?

Blessing is a blessing, but there was a separate reason why the act was called the blessing of the demon. It was because the act required a medium, a sacrifice.

“He killed Jessica Bruno for the blessing of the demons. I remember Baroness Bruno asking me about Laminaicho a few years ago because her daughter was sick.”

“Yes, to save her daughter.”

“No, isn’t it too much, how can he do that to his sister…….”

What Lucas said seemed quite naive, so Estin laughed quietly. He would be shocked to know that there was a person in the family he’s working with who abandoned his son just because he didn’t have black hair and eyes.

“You too.”

“……?”

“If Miss Mary gets sick, and you need to kill someone to heal her…… Will you be able to kill someone?”

In response, a black eyes with no emotion stared at Lucas. But then he smiled as if he were dumbfounded.

“Isn’t there still Laminaicho left?”

“Oh! It’s not that kind of disease…….”

“I’m no better than Miller Bruno.”

“What?”

“I can’t kill them easily.”

“…….”

“I’ll make them think they’d rather die.”

***

“Are you okay?”

When Estin and Lucas left, she became worried when Miller didn’t come out alone and see them off. Miller didn’t leave the office for a long time after they left. No matter how much she knocked, there was no answer in the office.

In the end, Maria had to open the office door wide. Soon she found her husband sitting on the floor of the office.

“Honey!”

His husband was bleeding.

“No matter how the Grand Duke is, how could he do this to you?”

Maria took out her handkerchief and began to wipe Miller’s mouth. There was a deep wound in his mouth. She is familiar with the cruelty of Grand Duke Estin, but she didn’t expect it to be this much.

“I’ll call a healer right away.”

“Maria…”

When Miller called her with a rather inaccurate pronunciation, tears seemed to fall from Maria’s eyes.

“Are you okay? Can you tell me?”

Miller nodded weakly. Maria patted Miller on the back as if to speak quickly.

“Can you find the one who taught you the spell again?”

“What?”

“Saving Sophia…… that spell.”

At Miller’s words, Maria dropped her patting hand on his back. After Jessica Bruno’s funeral, Miller and Maria unconsciously did not talk about that day. Sophia did not mention Jessica’s story, either.

So, she forgot.

“I, that….”

“It’s not an old woman.”

“Honey.”

“You went there. To the Underworld.”

He knew everything.

Maria’s hand, clutching a bloodstained handkerchief, began to tremble. At that time, she said that it was taught by an old woman who happened to bump into her, she thought he believed it because he did it without saying much.

“I really wanted to save Sofia.”

When her health did not improve, Maria remembered the underworld she had heard as a child. Where all wrongdoing is carried out of hand. She heard that even banned ancient magic is being sold there. Maria searched the place secretly and found the location of the underworld.

Then she heard the spell from a man.

She didn’t believe him, so he pinpointed Sophia’s condition and her similarities with Jessica Bruno. He also knew the secrets of the Bruno family, which no one knew.

‘Isn’t it rather good?’

‘What?’

‘The will.’

‘How do you…….’

‘There’s nothing unknown in the underworld.’

The man said with a smile. The man was quite a handsome man, and his smile was really refreshing, but Maria got goosebumps.

‘Did you think you’re the only one who would do everything for Sofia?’

‘…….’

“Sophia is my only daughter.”

Miller closed his eyes for a moment. What happened today was so insulting. Miller clenched his trembling fist. Grand Duke Estin released all his energy and made him kneel. If only he had that kind of power.

Neither Logan Reilly nor Rex Bluea would disrespect him.

“Maria, do you remember that place?”

“Miller.”

“Underworld… I should go there, too.”

First time is always difficult.

TCF2 – 7

< The reason for remembering (2)>

“Saint? I am not a Saint, Bishop-nim.”

“Commander-nim.”

Grab. The bishop suddenly grasped one of Cale’s hands.

‘How the hell does an old man have such a strong grip?!’

Cale was shocked at the strong grasp that felt as if the bishop was holding onto a golden rope. However, the bishop simply smiled with sincerity and warmth. He also had a look that was full of a sense of duty.

– Human! The bishop’s gaze is weird!

‘I know, right?’

Cale could see through the fake sincere look of duty because of the bishop’s burning gaze.

‘I guess he wants to become the Pope.’

On the other hand, the bishop was observing Cale’s expression.

‘…There was no reaction at all even when I called him Saint. This calmness… It is surprising.’

Bishop Tolis, the person in charge of the Church of the God of Death in the Roan Kingdom, used magic to fly over from Puzzle City immediately after a knight told him that Cale left for the capital with the crown prince.

“It has been a very long time since our god personally bestowed a divine item with a Divine Oracle to the Church of the God of Death. Furthermore, this is the first time in the history of the church that our lord directed a divine item to an individual.”

His voice was warm unlike his burning gaze.

“This is no insignificant matter.”

The Church of the God of Death did not have a Saint or a Holy Maiden.

“Commander-nim, our lord has chosen you.”

The bishop was hoping for something to be true.

He wanted this Commander to not be a very good hero yet.

It would also be fine if this Commander had a strong desire for fame and glory.

If neither of those, maybe at least the desire to gain even more power.

However, the Commander in front of him was truly like the man who had achieved such much merit in just two years.

He needed to cast aside any half-baked hopes.

The bishop approved of Cale after hearing what he had to say next.

“Bishop-nim. Terrible things have happened in multiple locations throughout the capital and many people have been hurt.”

He understood why the God of Death would choose this person.

The bishop immediately responded to him.

“Why do you think I brought so many priests here, Commander-nim? They are not my guards.”

The knight next to them chimed in.

“They are healing priests, Commander-nim.”

“We have already sent some to the Royal Palace as well. We are slightly lacking in manpower because we left most of the high-grade priests at Puzzle City, but there will be priests coming from the nearby temples to make up for their absence.”

Cale realized something after hearing the bishop’s comment.

‘He is someone who knows what he needs to do as bishop.’

The bishop who came to look for Cale as he understood the value of the divine item that appeared in the Roan Kingdom…

Although this guy was greedy for the position of Pope, he was someone who knew what he needed to do as Bishop and as the person in charge of the kingdom’s church.

‘This changes things.’

The bishop continued to speak as Cale scoped him out.

“I simply came today to inform you that such a thing has happened. I will be on my way now as I am sure that you are busy, Commander-nim.”

‘Wow. He knows when to back down as well.’

Something that would put fear in the hearts of the citizens of the kingdom had just happened in the capital. But the Church of the God of Death is causing a scene about a holy item?

It was not a wise choice in front of the citizens who are worried for their lives.

The bishop was clearly aware of this.

‘He’s smarter than I thought.’

Cale had neither a good nor bad impression of the Church of the God of Death since they had excommunicated priestess Cage, but, if he had to choose one direction, he would say that he had a bad impression of them.

“Bishop-nim.”

Cale thought that he could communicate with this bishop who knew when to back down.

“I will go visit the Church of the God of Death in the near future. May we chat at that time?”

“Of course, Commander-nim.”

The knight who brought the bishop over and Choi Han looked at the bishop in shock. It was because the bishop was acting completely differently from the guy who strongly emphasized that he needed to meet Cale when they were down below.

“Then I will be on my way now.”

“Yes, Bishop-nim. I will contact you and visit you soon.”

“I understand.”

The bishop retreated without any hesitation. He turned around and started to walk before stopping for a moment to look at Cale.

“Commander-nim. I believe that it would be difficult to sever this relationship between you and the Church of the God of Death from now on. So, please remember this.”

The knight barely held back from gasping.

‘Being involved with the Church. From the Royal Family to the church, now there is nobody in this world who would dare to mess with the Commander-nim.’

Well, it wasn’t as if anybody was going to mess with Cale Henituse and the Duke’s House of Henituse anyway.

The bishop said something else that shocked the knight once more.

“Please remember that our Roan Kingdom’s Church of the God of Death is always behind you, Commander-nim. Please contact us whenever you may need our assistance.”

Cale chuckled internally at the Bishop specifying that it was the Roan Kingdom’s Church of the God of Death and not all Churches of the God of Death and responded somewhat sincerely.

“Thank you very much, Bishop-nim.”

The bishop then smiled as if he was satisfied before quietly walking back. He motioned with his hand toward the knight who tried to follow him to stop him and then approached the around 20 priests who came with him.

“Assist in the restoration of the Ducal Estate.”

“Yes sir!”

All of the priests except two moved past the bishop and walked toward the knight in charge.

One of the two remaining priests cautiously asked.

“How was it, Bishop-nim?”

The other priest also warily looked at the bishop.

The bishop looked toward the main building of the Ducal Estate.

Cale Henituse was looking at his direction through a broken window. The bishop naturally turned his gaze and opened his mouth after his back was facing Cale.

“He is not someone we should make a plea toward. He is someone we should make deals with.”

“……Excuse me?”

The bishop thought about the Cale Henituse that he believed he understood.

He was as amazing as the rumors but, in some aspects, different from the rumors.

“It is difficult for a hero to become a Commander. It is not a position you can get by doing well fighting on your own.”

Cale Henituse’s eyes were extremely desolate and indifferent to be called a hero.

Of course, he must have some hidden warmth in them as he was able to achieve numerous merits.

“…He does have a mood that is suited for death.”

He quietly mumbled and gave orders to the two priests.

“Start opening the temple doors all hours of the day and protect the homeless nearby.”

“Yes sir.”

“And that excommunicated priestess. Did they say that she is close to Commander Cale?”

“I am not sure if they are close, but I have heard that she and Marquis Taylor do have some level of relationship with him.”

The bishop closed his eyes and recalled some things.

“Cage-, I remember her.”

There were a good number of priests who had been excommunicated by the church. However, he was able to remember Cage.

“She was a lively one, wasn’t she? However, she was all over the place.”

“…….”

“Contact that child.”

“…Bishop-nim-”

The priest flinched at the bishop telling him to contact an excommunicated priestess and looked at him. There was a bit of repulsion in his gaze.

The bishop chuckled at him.

“Although the Church of the God of Death has a long history, it has never been a major church. However, we now have a chance for the hero of the Eastern and Western continents to be connected to the church. Do you know the meaning of that?”

“…….”

“Do you also know the meaning of our temple being the connecting point with that hero?”

“…….”

The priest lowered his head.

The bishop looked at him and continued to speak.

“What is it? Does what I am doing seem far from being sincere?”

He spoke with laughter in his voice.

“Well, it’s not like you saw wrong. But it isn’t new.”

Similar to how the Roan Kingdom had this image of doing whatever they needed to do to survive prior to the war… The Church of the God of Death was only a so-so church in the Roan Kingdom where all sorts of religions were allowed.

It was only normal for the Vatican to treat such a church as mediocre.

The bishop made that comment before starting to walk.

“I will go contact the Vatican.”

He turned his head.

Cale was looking at him.

“That’s a relief. It looks like we’ll be able to chat and understand each other.”

He smiled and headed toward the temple.

Cale quietly observed the bishop who looked at him once and left the Ducal Estate.

– Human, that bishop gramps is a bit cold!

“Cale-nim, when will you be going to the Church of the God of Death?”

Chhh-

The black Hawk opened its wings and floated up.

Cale responded to the three individuals looking at him.

“We will go immediately after reporting to his highness.”

He looked at the black Hawk, Sui Khan.

“It looks like there’s a lot to hear anyway. Isn’t it easier to hear it all at once?”

“Easier indeed.”

* * *

The attendant who had been working for less than one year in the palace was completely quiet as he walked.

‘Mm!’

He gasped while looking around.

The Crown Prince Palace.

There were knights every few steps in the hallway and the entire Roan Royal Palace was full of knights and soldiers on patrol nonstop.

Ooooooooong-

Mages were casting all sorts of defense-type spells outside the window along with offensive spells. They were getting ready so that they could go into battle at any moment.

‘…It’s the pillar from the King’s Palace.’

He could see a large pillar stabbed into the Crown Prince Palace’s rear garden.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

It was one of the pillars of the destroyed King’s Palace.

‘How could something like this happen in the royal palace?’

The King’s Palace was destroyed and the king had disappeared.

They were even uncertain as to whether the king was still alive.

Furthermore, the prime suspect is the heir to a ducal family and that ducal family was destroyed.

Most importantly, the royal family was powerless when all these things happened.

The kingdom that is said to be the strongest of the entire Western continent was powerless.

‘It’s like a nightmare.’

The attendant’s body stiffened up from anxiety.

However, he could not stop walking. The gazes of the knights were scary.

“What is it?”

He pulled something out of his pocket as soon as he arrived at his destination and was questioned by a guard.

“This is food for his highness.”

The knight slightly raised the cloth on top of the basket in the attendant’s hand and nodded his head.

“Okay, you can give it to me. You may leave.”

“Yes sir!”

The attendant promptly responded and quickly headed out of the crown prince palace.

‘But why would his highness want something like this at a time like this?’

There was one thing the attendant questioned.

‘Why did he suddenly order for us to bring up some cookies? Is he eating cookies instead of eating properly? I guess his highness really likes cookies.’

The attendant thought about another possibility as well.

“They said that the Commander-nim and Sir Choi Han headed to his highness’s study. Is it possible that one of those two sirs really likes cookies?’

The attendant could not get an answer for all his curiosities.

As for crown prince Alberu Crossman, he was discussing new facts with the people who came to see him.

Crunch. Crunch.

“So…”

He organized his thoughts and resumed speaking.

“This is Sui Khan and he is the reincarnation of Lee Soo Hyuk?”

“Correct.”

The white-haired red eyed young boy responded softly yet in an informal manner. The crown prince observed the young boy who was extremely different from whom he had known while he was the Dark Tiger.

“You’re oddly different from the Lee Soo Hyuk I saw.”

“That existence and I are different people. In addition-”

Sui Khan’s voice trailed off before he read Cale’s gaze as Cale looked at him. He also noticed the crown prince’s gaze of observation.

“In addition, I am still getting used to this.”

“Getting used to it?”

“You could say that I, Lee Soo Hyuk, am being fused together with Sui Khan. Although my mind was going in and out, I have already lived for over 13 years as Sui Khan despite my mind going in and out. The habits and etiquettes that I have learned until now are properly fusing with me.”

Alberu’s eyes clouded over after hearing the word etiquette.

Cale, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“Thirteen years old?”

Alberu looked at Sui Khan with an odd gaze. He knew that the flow of time was different in this world and the other world thanks to his time as the Dark Tiger, however…

‘He’s quite tall to be thirteen years old.’

Although Sui Khan was feeble, he was quite tall. ‘Do Hawk beast people have a different growth speed than us?’

“…….”

Sui Khan shrugged his shoulders instead of responding. He then added on.

“I’ll hold off on the detailed explanation until next time. I don’t really have any problems right now.”

‘Other than the issue in my family.’

Sui Khan held those words back to himself.

“This is the bigger issue right now after all.”

The crown prince nodded his head.

He had wondered what the heck Cale Henituse had picked up this time after seeing him walking in with a black Hawk on his shoulder. A complicated incident seemed to have happened in the short period of time Cale was away from Alberu. However, that was not important to Alberu right now.

Although it was quiet right now, the information about the explosion at the King’s Palace and the disappearance of the king would spread throughout the continent. Just working hard to not become sensitive was consuming a lot of Alberu’s energy.

“Alright, let’s organize this.”

However, he was slowly filling up with energy right now.

It was because he could see a path.

“The events of today are related to the Hunters, I presume we can assume that the second child of the Flynn Merchant Guild and young lady Orsena are involved as well?”

“Yes, your highness.”

Cale calmly answered back.

“Of course, the second child of the Flynn Merchant Guild and young lady Orsena’s involvements are only likely possibilities without any clear evidence. We have no way of knowing whether the two of them are our enemies or anything.”

“That’s right. And youngest lady Orsena said that it was white magic that attacked the Duke’s Estate?”

“Yes, your highness. Youngest lady Orsena is unable to wake up after making that statement.”

Alberu’s gaze headed toward Sui Khan.

“And although you don’t know everything about the Hunters you remember to some degree?”

“And the God of Death bestowed a divine item that allows traveling between dimensions to Cale Henituse.”

“The Hunters are an organization that travels across dimensions?”

“Yes.”

Sui Khan stopped responding and lowered his head after feeling a sensation on the back of his hand. Raon had placed a cookie on it.

“Eat a lot, little Sui! You need to gain some weight!”

“Okay. Thanks Raon.”

Sui Khan petted Raon’s head and ate the cookie. Cale watched Sui eating that cookie with a slightly baffled expression on his face. But he soon started to speak.

“Now it is time that we hear the things we should know, team leader.”

“Okay.”

Sui took another cookie from Raon’s hand before continuing to speak.

“There are a total of five families currently active within the Hunters organization. They are traveling across worlds and dimensions to hunt Single-lifers.”

Choi Han looked at Sui Khan. Sui Khan was also looking at Choi Han.

“We are unable to know everything about them. However, we focused on one thing to dig deeper about. What do you think that one thing is?”

Choi Han responded.

The reason these individuals who are in different dimensions were able to create an organization and get stronger was because of their freedom to cross dimensions. Choi Han did not need to add an explanation.

Sui Khan nodded his head.

“Yea. That is correct. However, traveling across dimensions is not something regular living beings are capable of doing.”

Traveling through dimensions was something that placed a heavy burden on the user to the point that even the gods struggled.

Alberu opened his mouth.

“Did you guys figure out the source of dimensional travel?”

“Yes.”

Cale recalled a memory.

The Hunters he had met during the sealed god’s illusion test…

‘Take this offering of karma.’

One of the two Hunters killed her ally and made that comment before disappearing from that world.

“They use lives and blood as payment to dodge the imbalance and punishment created by dimensional travel.”

Lives and blood.

Choi Han quietly mumbled as if memorizing it for himself.

“We currently believe that this is the power of a spell and device made by two of the Hunters’ households.”

“Where are those two families?”

Sui Kahn had a suspicious smile on his face after hearing Cale’s question. Cale immediately asked.

“I guess it is not this world.”

“Yeah. It is a different world.”

Sui Khan opened up two fingers.

“The lives and blood that are the cost… The world where white mages use the first of these costs, the death of a living being, as collateral for spells… It is best to go to this world first if you are planning on going to another dimension.”

White mages.

Alberu, Choi Han, Cale, and Raon’s eyes clouded over after hearing those words. It seemed most likely to be related to the incidents at hand right now.

“And the second cost, blood. A world where a church of blood that worships blood is located.”

‘Hmm?’

Cale’s eyes opened wide for a moment.

“…A church of blood?”

Those words sounded familiar to him.

The man who had read novels for many years nonchalantly commented.

There was something that came to mind when he heard the church of blood.

“…Blood Demon?”

“That’s right. The Blood Demon is the leader of the Church of Blood. You know so well, Cale.”

Cale blinked a few times before saying something else.

“…The Central Plains?”

“Yes. They are there. Of course, the Church of Blood is hidden so we were unable to find the exact location.”

Sui Khan shrugged his shoulders.
