Seeing this scene, everyone stopped. Everyone's faces were filled with relief as the door to the third floor opened. Without those horrible parasitic scarecrows, there was no need to fight anymore. However, everyone looked at the people around them with guarded eyes as if they could strike at any time. Due to the previous fight, any little trust between these strangers was all gone. Of course, this certainly did not include Philip and Raven. The two of them came here together, and the trust between them could not be measured by the average relationship. Although Raven kept saying that killing Philip was his ultimate goal, he already regarded Philip as his idol. Everyone was recovering their energy, and no one was willing to be the first to enter the third floor. Philip was thinking about why he could unleash more energy every time he went up a floor. This entire Underworld Tower was basically a platform for people to kill each other. As for whether the Underworld Ci
Philip did not want any trouble. He knew what he had discovered, and the prince of the Beelzebub royal family must have discovered it too. This so-called Archaic Underworld was just a scam. “Let’s discuss this openly. Since the two of you have chosen to stay, you must have discovered the secret here. Why don't we cooperate?” Raven's expression turned cold immediately. Cooperating with such a person was tantamount to courting death. However, Philip agreed. “Of course. As long as we can leave here.” Raven's expression was a bit complicated. He looked at Philip, hesitant to speak. However, there was no change in Philip’s expression as if he did not take this seriously at all. The moment the entrance to the third floor closed, all the scarecrows here came to life again. Seeing this scene, Philip made an inviting gesture to the prince of the Beelzebub royal family and said, “Since you want to cooperate, you should show some sincerity.” Raven was stunned at Philip’s actio
They could not mobilize so much energy because their minds and bodies had long been separated, which resulted in this situation. The scene where Philip saw the middle-aged man before was the real thing that happened. Everyone was trapped in this game, and the middle-aged man had planted something in them. Philip suddenly remembered something, and a smile bloomed on his face. Everything was because of the mark. If they could get rid of the mark, they could get out of this illusion. Philip raised his hand, and the mark that had fallen off earlier was now clearly on his hand. Philip looked at the prince of the Beelzebub royal family and said, “Show me your hand.” The prince of the Beelzebub royal family stretched out his hand without any hesitation. Seeing the mark on his hand, Philip knew that his guess was right. At the very beginning, Philip had already tried to use his energy to remove the mark, but it did not work. “Raven, can you use your curse to try to remove
Philip and the prince of the Beelzebub royal family broke their arms almost at the same time. It was also the first time that Philip felt the pain of breaking an arm. After that, the scene in front of him changed. Philip looked around and found himself in the vast yellow sand. Similar to when he first arrived, there was no one else here except for the prince of the Beelzebub royal family standing next to him. The only difference was that his left arm was no more. It was due to him breaking his arm earlier. The prince of the Beelzebub royal family grinned at Philip. “Where’s Raven?” Philip searched around immediately, and the prince of the Beelzebub royal family said solemnly, “I'm afraid he was already taken away as soon as he woke up.” The prince’s guess was not unreasonable. If this was a huge scam set by the middle-aged man, the outcome would definitely not be good if someone ruined the scam. Suddenly, the yellow sand dispersed. Philip found a ring in front of
It was not over yet. Raven made his move too. As soon as Philip attacked, his curse was already floating in the air. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the prince’s figure also began to change. His body grew bigger and turned into a four-legged beast. Steam spewed out of his mouth. He jumped up and pounced on the human practitioner who was engulfed by the blazing white flames, while the curse that floated in the air also formed rune-like characters. He slammed head-first into the curse. The steam from his mouth shrouded the runes. Philip's blazing white flame disappeared. As for the human practitioner, his whole body was covered with energy, and he still maintained the posture of resisting the red-white flames. He did not even notice when the flames disappeared. The beast transformed by the prince of the Beelzebub royal family approached him. He opened his mouth, and the steam with the cursed runes sprayed on the human practitioner. The prince of the Beelzebub roya
They seemed extremely keen to watch humans kill each other, just like in the coliseum that Philip encountered in the underground city before. However, humans were the beasts here. After getting a response from the audience in the stands, the winged man finally let Philip and the rest go. Three chains suddenly appeared in the winged man's hand, and they shot at the three of them with a shake of the winged man’s hand. Needless to guess, Philip knew that the chains were going to be used to capture them. As they were about to put up a fight, the scepter in the winged man's hand pointed at the three of them, and Philip felt an irresistible force pressing down on him. Boom! With a muffled sound, Philip crashed onto the ring. The prince of the Beelzebub royal family and Raven were taken down too. The three chains were locked around their necks. The winged men did not treat them as humans at all but as livestock. “Bring these three disobedient humans to Slave Prison No. 5.”
A burly man walked out from the corner and said with a sneer, “Not bad. Well done. Let these newcomers know who’s the boss here.” The child quickly said, “You three, get over here now. Pay your respects to the boss and hand over all the good things you have.” Philip and Raven looked at each other and said with a smile, “He really thinks he’s the boss.” With that said, Philip raised his arm, and the boss' face changed drastically. He had suffered in Philip’s hands just now. However, the boy said, “Boss, don't worry. I’ve bitten that guy, and he’s now poisoned.” Hearing that, the boss pointed at Philip smugly and said, “Hey, you, get over here and apologize to me. Damn it, how dare you hit me just now?” Philip did not want to waste time with him. He had to escape. If the winged people knew that the ancient Heavenly Court was hunting him down, they might give him up to the ancient Heavenly Court in exchange for what they wanted. Therefore, he had to escape as soon as possibl
In this dark prison, energy stones could also heal injuries and reduce the decline in one's practice level. “My lord, I’m willing to serve you. “What do you want to know?” A winged man walked out of the darkness, but it seemed that he was imprisoned here too. “Sky City.” Philip said flatly. He did not look down on half-humans. The Starfall Continent was a place where the fittest survived. “Sky City?” The winged man was taken aback, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face as if an ancient memory had taken root in his mind. Philip learned about Sky City from the winged man, and Sky City was closely related to the winged people. The winged people were originally the natives of the Starfall Continent. Before humans came to the Starfall Continent, there were 12 royal families, and the winged people were one of them. Sky City was the ancestral land of the winged people. It was said that the winged people were descendants of the sun, born with the elements of fire and
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
