“Why are you here?” Aloysius huffed in annoyance. Samael’s expression was no better. “I’m here to catch you, of course. You should give up.” Samael rushed in, and Philip quickly sent a voice transmission to Aloysius. It was a good opportunity to sneak in. If they were captured, they could enter the other party’s inner circle and maybe find out some secrets. Philip's message was quite effective. Aloysius quickly understood Philip's meaning and remained silent. They were taken away easily, and Philip was filled with anticipation. He wanted to know what they were up to. Samael did not expect to take Philip down so easily. He wondered if they were truly normal people instead of practitioners in disguise. If they were practitioners in disguise, they would have fought back instead of being captured by him so easily. Samael thought he had the cat in the bag. “Hehe, it’s really interesting that I have to deal with two normal humans myself. What do you have that can block my sen
Philip stood on the spot and observed Samael silently. Samael was obviously not very smart and easy to fool. They were quickly taken to the other party’s residence, which looked quite luxurious but creepy. Philip could hardly imagine who would live in such a terrifying place with peace of mind. Marcel had changed his appearance, wearing a bright smile on his face as he stared in their direction. He was quite interested in Aloysius. Similarly, he was curious about Philip, just as Philip was curious about him. In his opinion, Philip was not a simple person. Perhaps he was hiding a lot of secrets. “I didn’t expect to see you guys so soon. I believe you should know what I'm going to do next,” Marcel said with a sinister smile. No one recognized him because he had disguised his appearance—except Philip. He had a powerful Verge Tower on hand that could detect anyone’s true appearance easily. Any superb method the other party used to hide his identity would be useless in front of
Philip nodded, moved by Aloysius’ decision. Although the brotherhood between the two was good, Aloysius was willing to make the right decision for justice in this situation, which was enough to prove that his strength should not be underestimated. Marcel was puzzled by their conversation, wondering what they were talking about. “What are you saying?” Marcel felt unhappy about their disregard for him. He smacked the table angrily, and a wisp of black energy zoomed toward Philip. Philip turned around and dodged the attack as he unleashed his power. “There’s no need for this place to exist anymore, so I’m going to destroy it. Welkin Island is nothing but a disgusting place,” Philip announced calmly. He knew that he had to stop this. Although he was not a saint, he was not a villain who would do things against his conscience either. Since these people were so cruel and terrible, Philip would destroy them if he could. It was nothing worth thinking about. Before Marcel realiz
“How did you discover my true identity? My mask has a powerful concealing effect. Normal people can't discover it at all!” Marcel never made a move as he subconsciously thought that Aloysius was just an ordinary human and maybe Aloysius found a good henchman by chance. He never thought that Aloysius had chosen to submit to Philip. “You have a habit of touching your nose when you talk, and you display some obvious body language from time to time. Only long-term friends like us can notice each other's actions.” They had worked together for many years, so they knew each other very well. He never thought that Marcel would be exposed by such a minor detail today. “Hehe, you’re quite smart, but so what? Things have progressed to this point. Do you think we can return to the past? I can tell you more. I was the one who destroyed Heavenly Path's Carrefour!” Everyone was surprised to hear that. Philip was shocked by his boldness in admitting everything openly. “I knew it was relat
Marcel never thought they would have such a powerful treasure. He was so scared that he knelt and begged for mercy, but no one paid him any attention. Samael was dumbfounded to see a weapon that was specifically used to deal with them. He was more surprised to see Marcel being taken down so easily. He had always thought that his master was powerful and invincible. He used to be a powerful existence back then, but he encountered a misfortune later and ended up in this state. Marcel took him in, cured all his injuries, and imparted some powerful techniques to save his life. Since then, Samael had been loyal to Marcel and never thought of betraying him. That was the reason Marcel proposed to disguise his identity, and Samael would agree to Marcel’s every request. It was simply unacceptable for such an invincible and supreme being in his heart to be defeated so easily. “Impossible! My master is an invincible God of War. How could he lose to you guys?” Samael felt that his worldvi
As a bystander, Samael had no way to get out of this mess. Aloysius grabbed him and planned to take him back to Heavenly Path’s Carrefour too. Samael looked at Marcel and made eye contact with him. Then, as if they reached a consensus, Samael roared and tried to jump out of his restraints. As he was not tied up with the Indestructible Rope, he easily broke free from his restraints and flew up. He quickly appeared in the sky above Welkin Island. The innocent civilians looked at him blankly, wondering what strange event was going on. “Is the person in the sky the legendary Lord Samael? What is he up to? Is he going to kill again?” “Let him do whatever he wants. We can’t put up a fight anyway. What else can we do?” “Well, that’s what we're here for.” Some people complained while others laughed at themselves. Everyone was full of pain and suffering. In the sky, Samael roared in misery too. “I want to bury the entire Welkin Island with me today! You stupid mortals can only
“Demonic practitioners are always so full of themselves, but you’re nothing. Who said that demonic practice makes you powerful? You’re simply using some cruel means to achieve your goal.” Philip had always looked down on them. In his opinion, they were simply wasting their luck by doing bad things. Samael could hardly think. Philip had given him a serious psychological trauma. “That's impossible! How could you possibly defeat me? Someone like you should stand no chance against me, but you’re so strong!” Philip looked no different from an ordinary human, but he resolved this problem so easily, crushing Samael to a pulp. Philip’s strength should not be underestimated as he was clearly far better than him. A man in his 20s with a strength that he could never reach in his lifetime—what a scary idea. Others looked at this scene in horror. As ordinary people, they had no way to resist this. Everyone thought they were going to die, but a mysterious person saved them. No one knew w
Aloysius would not show mercy to Marcel. Instead, he would use cruel means to deal with Marcel. Very soon, they returned to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip stood aside without a word. He knew it was best to let Aloysius deal with it. Marcel was devastated by his easy defeat. He went through all the hardship to become a demonic practitioner so that he could stand on top of the world one day. He never thought someone could defeat him so easily one day. “Did you not become a normal human?” Marcel was puzzled to find that Aloysius could still fight. “If you didn’t become a mortal, how did you escape?” He remembered setting a restriction on Aloysius. He would never escape the barrier unless he became a normal human. They quickly arrived at the barrier. Marcel was shocked to find that the barrier and rope he prepared for Aloysius had been destroyed. He could hardly imagine the power possessed by the other party that could break the restraints by force. “I’m no longer the
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
