Abell accepted the pill gratefully and was shocked to learn of its effects. Abell was cooped up in the mountains all year round and had no idea about such valuable pills. He and the other villagers could be seen as primitive people in this world. After much deliberation, Manta finally left. He planned to check up on Abell after some time. If Abell died because of it, Manta would not practice the technique. If Abell was alive and kicking, he would start practicing it. The technique he gave to Abell was a handwritten copy and not important at all. Meanwhile, Abell flipped through the book at home. The content was easy to understand, and he only had to read it several times to memorize it by heart. Although he had never learned such things before, he was quite gifted in this area. He was a young talent, after all. Combined with his mother’s genes, this outcome was to be expected. Abell quickly felt something flowing through his body, which was energy according to the book.
However, Abell was not sure if his mother would still be alive when he achieved success. To save his mother as soon as possible, he had to work hard. Philip and the others packed their things in preparation for the training ground. They did not plan to get involved in Neon’s affairs any further. Even if Neon killed Julie, it had nothing to do with them. Philip had fulfilled Neon’s request, so he would not interfere in what happened next. “Philip, I'm quite interested in their training ground. I don’t think such ordinary little guilds would have a great training ground,” Aslan said curiously. He looked expectant as if he was interested in such an inadequate place. Philip shook his head. He did not know either. The next moment, Philip and Aslan arrived at the Spada Guild again. The guild looked very grand, a large force at a glance, but that did not prevent Aslan from looking down on it. It was just an ordinary guild no matter how grand the building looked. The guil
Philip did not have a good impression of the people of the Spada Guild. He simply wanted to complete the deal with them. Although Ira seemed fundamentally different from Manta and the others, no one knew for sure. Since she was one of the guild members, they had to be the same. Aslan followed Philip into the training ground, unwilling to be left behind. Although Aslan enjoyed bickering with others, Philip was the most important. Ira stomped her foot in anger at the sight of Aslan’s ugly face and followed them. “Bring the other members in!” Ira left some instructions before she followed Philip into the training ground. Initially, Manta planned to invite Ira to team up with him for the training. However, Ira was heartless enough to leave him behind without hesitation. Thinking of Ira's indifference, Manta vented his anger on his fellow members. He could no longer control his temper these days, so the gentle and humble senior apprentice from back then had vanished, rep
Trouble was bound to follow women unless it was one of his own. A woman who was not under his command would be a burden. Philip understood this logic very well, so he would never bring Ira with him to the training ground. Moreover, they might do some shocking things, so he did not want to expose his secrets. “Philip, I’m sure that woman won’t give up so easily. She’ll probably pester you again once she finds the chance!” Aslan complained. As a monster beast, he had no feelings for human women. Philip smiled without comment. He noticed something was wrong up ahead. This place was devoid of all energy like a dead zone. All practitioners would feel very uncomfortable in this place, and Philip was no exception. He frowned at his surroundings. It was hard for him to imagine that any powerful creatures would practice in this place. Any living creature would only remain ordinary without energy. Even humans could not become practitioners without energy. Many practitioners emerg
Philip was not worried about this problem. Although energy was lacking, they could move around freely despite the discomfort. Feeling the air around him, Aslan sighed and turned to Philip expectantly. “Philip, can you do something about this? I don’t want to feel this way anymore.” As a monster beast, Aslan was very sensitive to this situation and felt more uncomfortable than the rest. Philip nodded helplessly. Since Aslan made the request, he would not refuse. “Get ready.” Philip took out a piece of paper and started drawing on it. He stuck the charm on Aslan’s body, and the energy stones in Aslan's hands disappeared instantly. Aslan felt a surge of energy entering his body. “This is awesome!” Aslan glanced at Philip in surprise and felt alive again. Philip did the same for himself too. Although others could not see the difference, Philip and Aslan were clearly experiencing this unusual feeling. After that, they walked to the mountain. Philip knew that this place w
This place was very dangerous. It would be difficult if Aslan wanted to play the hero. The woman glanced at Aslan gratefully. “It’d be great if you could take me home. I'm seriously hurt.” She looked up at Aslan expectantly as if waiting for Aslan to take her home. Aslan tilted his head in startled confusion and wondered what she was insinuating. “Are you saying you want me to take you home?” Aslan said curiously, thinking he was mistaken. The woman nodded eagerly, hoping that Aslan would take her away quickly. Aslan had bent down and stretched his hand out when he stopped and stood up again. His face was full of disdain as if he realized something. "You need to sound more convincing if you want to scam others. Why would you go home when you’re out for training?” Aslan seemed to understand something and walked around the woman curiously. “Is this a ferocious beast that has taken on a human form?” Philip could not help but laugh at Aslan’s reaction. He was so blunt
When Philip looked back, he saw that Aslan had reached the edge of the pit and was about to jump down. Philip reached out and smacked Aslan to make him sober up. Aslan returned to his senses and looked at Philip in shock, wondering what just happened. “Philip, how did I get here?” Aslan scratched his head and looked at Philip in confusion. Philip was exasperated. Obviously, Aslan had been bewitched by something. “I finally know what's so scary about this place,” Philip said helplessly as if he had discovered something new. Aslan looked at Philip with lingering fear as he wondered what Philip was about to say. “This place is full of temptations, and you’ll fall for it easily if your mind is weak. What happened to you just now was the best proof. You were nearly fooled by the fox earlier and nearly fell into the pit next. You would've probably jumped down if I hadn't been around to stop you.” Philip peeked into the pit, which was a long way down. Aslan would probably die
“I suspect there’s something down there. It's probably the secret we’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look down there.” Aslan waved his hand at Philip’s suggestion. He was very scared by now. “Philip, didn't you see those people jumping to their deaths just now? How are we going to get down? Should we jump too?” Aslan said like a coward. Philip sighed and said, “You’re such an idiot!” Philip summoned a flying beast. He jumped on the beast's back and flew into the depths of the pit with Aslan. Aslan chuckled awkwardly at Philip’s witty trick. “What a great idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment. Aslan sat on the back of the beast and admired the surrounding scenery. This deep pit was so enormous that they could not see the end of it. It felt like a miracle of nature. “Look, there’s only one outcome for those who jumped down.” Philip pointed at the people who were splattered on the floor. Philip still remembered the arrogance in thei
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
