Philip left Glaze Tower after collecting everything he could find. The next moment, Glaze Tower dazzled brightly, and a person was teleported out. Everyone stopped talking and walked forward curiously to take a look at the teleported person, who was none other than Philip. Philip walked out leisurely while checking his loot. He had searched every nook and cranny and only chosen to leave after confirming that there were no other treasures in Glaze Tower. After he passed the challenge, however, Glaze Tower rewarded him with other things, which looked quite good. Unexpectedly, Glaze Tower also merged with Philip, becoming one with him. Philip explored Glaze Tower excitedly. It would be best if Glaze Tower really became his private property. He received a lot of information about Glaze Tower, and he could also kick everyone out of it. He could see Aslan and the others accepting the challenges and searching for treasures. If he could see these extraordinary things, Philip was su
After paying the entry fee, they found a serious problem. Glaze Tower would not let anyone in. By right, they simply had to enter Glaze Tower's entrance and the tower would bring them inside to start challenging the first level. However, they stood at the entrance for a while but Glaze Tower did not do anything. “What’s wrong with Glaze Tower? Is it not accepting people anymore?” “If that’s the case, that sounds bad. My fellow guild members are still on their way here.” “What’s going on? Can anyone rectify this problem?” Everyone was horrified by this sudden development. No one owned Glaze Tower, so it was impossible to find a solution. “I’m sure Glaze Tower decided not to let more people inside because someone has passed the challenge. This must be Philip’s fault.” Rick seized the opportunity to pin the blame, glaring at Philip viciously. Lester scowled at this unexpected outcome. Although he had been kicked out of Glaze Tower, he still had the opportunity to enter aga
Rick retreated into a corner dejectedly, trying to think of a way to trigger a conflict between Philip and everyone else. Although there was conflict, everyone hid their emotions without venting their frustrations. At this time, Otto approached Philip privately. He had a good impression of Philip and wanted to know him better. “Have you heard of a place called Deadly Arena?” Otto and Philip sat in a tavern drinking like best buddies. The other members of the two guilds were eating and drinking at other places. Everyone was exhausted after spending so much energy in Glaze Tower over a long duration. “What is it? Is it something like a battle arena?” Philip said curiously. He had never heard of it. Otto nodded. “We can take a transportation tool called a cloud vessel to the Clandestine Continent.” This continent was more than met the eye, and it was famous for the so-called Deadly Arena. Philip’s interest was piqued. After his people had their fill, they arrived at the
The young man’s face was stained with blood, but he did not seem injured. He looked cool and handsome. An older man stood across from the young man. The former clutched his stomach as if trying to stop the blood from flowing. The older man looked at the young man solemnly and said, “Thank you for not killing me. Please excuse me.” The older man left after losing the fight without displaying any anger or staying around to mess with others. The audience cheered like crazed fans and chanted the young man’s name, “Fabian! Fabian!” Everyone was excited to see this mind-blowing scene. Philip observed the young man with a saber in hand. He could tell Fabian was very strong, a force to be reckoned with. The challengers would receive certain rewards, and everyone could make some money by placing bets. Of course, the winner would get more rewards while the loser would receive some compensation. However, that was on the premise that they survived. Everything that happened in Dea
Philip noticed his people’s eager expressions and shook his head helplessly. Since they were here, there was no reason not to take part. He would have let them do it even if they had not asked. Everyone quickly signed up excitedly. Everyone received a name tag, and their names appeared on the huge stone tablet. Everyone had a zero above their names. Their stats were clearly so clean because they did not have any rankings. “Oh? So many little guys signed up! This is really interesting!” “It’s been a while since we saw any fresh faces. It’s interesting to see them sign up for this.” Everyone was interested in these rookies. In their opinion, they were nothing but cannon fodder. They were relatively young and did not seem powerful at all. “How many young talents can there be in the world? There are only a handful of them.” “Most young people can only be seen as pitiful cannon fodder.” Everyone discussed these young people excitedly but did not think highly of them. Heari
Philip certainly knew the workings behind such things, so he never bet with strangers. “Wow, that young man really went on stage. I think he looks very confident!” “Is that kid in his teens? He’s quite good to have reached that level, but his opponent may not be a good person!” Everyone thought Lyle looked pretty good and should be a good candidate for grooming. However, it would be bad if he encountered a ruthless opponent. Some people simply killed without qualms. Although such methods were appalling, it was not uncommon. Most practitioners were courteous and would act within certain limits without stepping out of the line. Lyle quickly stepped on stage. He greeted everyone excitedly and felt satisfied with this extreme challenge. At this time, Lyle’s opponent appeared on stage too. After seeing Lyle's opponent, everyone looked regretful as if they felt sorry for Lyle. They clearly knew Lyle’s opponent quite well. Philip asked the people around him to find out more
The onlookers placed their bets on the brutal middle-aged man. Philip saw the other party's name at this time—Conquistador. It was an impressive name, but he wondered if this person could live up to it. The fight quickly started, and all bets were off. Lyle tested the opponent’s strength and quickly relaxed after confirming he had nothing to worry about. “Hmph, I thought you were very strong by the looks of your aggressive appearance,” Lyle sneered and taunted Conquistador. Conquistador frowned with displeasure. “Huh, you look like a newbie so I’ll tell you something. My family is related to the people behind Deadly Arena. Don’t try to push your luck if you want to stay alive,” he noticed Lyle’s oblivious appearance and reminded him. No one ever dared to kill him because of his identity and reminder. Deadly Arena was a huge force. One had to follow the rules if one wanted to make money from this place. “Oh,” Lyle responded and sighed helplessly. He wondered what Philip
“Sure enough, ignorance is bliss. This newbie has no idea what’s waiting for him.” “Lyle is quite powerful, but I’m afraid that’s the end of the road for him.” “I wonder what those people will do to him. I know that person in charge. I heard that he went to another continent recently and will probably be back soon!” Philip overheard everyone’s comments as they spoke. His guess was right. With Lyle’s quick temper, he would never give the other party a chance. “That guy was so lousy. I’ve never seen such a loser before.” Lyle shrugged helplessly, but he was excitedly waiting for his next round. Otto was worried and wanted to remind Philip. “Philip, to be honest, that guy is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve heard of his relative. It seems that he has a high status and is very protective of his people. I’m afraid that this time…” He glanced at Lyle and hesitated to carry on. Philip asked Otto to speak his mind. “I’m afraid your people will be in trouble for messing wit
Philip sighed when he heard the comments. He never thought that these snake women would be so cruel and ruthless to attack humans. Their practice technique was definitely not ordinary, most probably an evil technique. “Get ready to escape. This is East Hill Island. There should be some bamboo rafts at the door. If you help each other, I’m sure you can escape successfully.” Philip pointed them in a direction and asked them to leave on their own. After all, they had been captured without their knowing, so it was understandable that they did not know their whereabouts. Everyone was surprised to hear that they were on East Hill Island. “What? We’re actually on this mysterious island.” “Everyone says that East Hill Island is full of treasures. Since we're here, maybe…” Some people were not seriously injured, so they were eager to explore. Others were very scared and refused to stay on the island any longer. They quickly formed a team and fled. Philip ignored them and walked to
Philip grinned broadly. “I have no use for so many subordinates. Since you don’t mind paying, let’s discuss the price.” Everyone looked at Philip with disdain. “Hehe, buddy, stop bragging. This isn’t an easy problem to solve.” Someone twisted his head and pointed in one direction. A big pile of bones in the corner presented a scary sight. These people had just been killed earlier. “We saw that when they brought us here. With so many skeletons around, that old witch must've killed many people.” “That woman is terrifying. We have to watch out.” Everyone tried to persuade Philip. Many of them had accepted their fate. Although they knew that death was inevitable, they wanted to have fun while they were still alive. Philip shook his head helplessly. “Do you think this rope can do anything to me?” Philip exerted some force, and the rope tore apart in an instant. Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, shocked to see Philip tearing the rope so easily. “Why is your energy
“I remember passing out during a fight and waking up here.” “My experience was different. I had some fun before I was caught. That woman was very beautiful.” Everyone shared their stories. Philip overheard the conversations and realized what was going on. “So, all of you have been deceived by women. That’s interesting.” A fat man seemed very interested in this topic and spoke excitedly. “Why is my experience different from you guys? I was very unlucky. A big and strong woman knocked me out and brought me here. This is really too much. Is it discrimination?” Philip laughed when he heard the various interesting stories. “Buddy, why are you laughing so happily? Were you captured and brought here by force too?” Philip shook his head. “Your experiences are really interesting. They didn’t capture me. I turned up at their doorstep.” Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip in disbelief, wondering if he was nuts. “You must be crazy to walk into the trap of your own accor
“Why would such a masculine man act like a sneak? This is mind-boggling.” The matriarch seemed regretful. She thought of keeping Philip, but he was too disgusting. “It’s mind-boggling for certain people, but you’re not a human at all. What puzzles you? You’re just a monster beast. Your brain works differently from humans. Therefore, our thoughts don’t operate on the same level. If anything puzzles you, I don’t think I can clarify your doubts either.” Philip scoffed in disdain, not taking the other party seriously at all. The snake matriarch almost passed out in anger. She glared at Philip, wishing she could rip him apart. “Very well. Since you've angered me, there’s no need for you to live. Tie him up and take care of him properly.” For such an important person as Philip, the snake matriarch had to enjoy every single bit of him. “Hehe, you’re quite interesting to mess with our matriarch this way. I’ve never met such a fearless guy in my life. In that case, I’ll clean you up
“I know! Some women will approach the victims and use some underhanded means to take them away, right?” Yule smacked his thigh as if he recalled something, clearly angry and upset over this realization. Foxy nodded. Everyone looked at Yule in realization, surprised to hear that he had fallen for it before. “Don’t look at me like that. I know this because someone approached me before, but I didn’t fall for it because I’m a gentleman.” Yule was right. The other party did not fool him because of his upright nature. Otherwise, he would've ended up as one of the devoured victims too. Everyone frowned after hearing Foxy's and Yule’s explanations. “I never thought there would be something like this.” “In that case, we let them off easy. I think we should kill all of them.” “An eye for an eye. Since they're so shameless, we should teach them a lesson.” Everyone cursed unhappily. Aslan sighed at their disgust. After cleaning up the battlefield, they took a break while wait
“They killed Violet right before my eyes. This is too much. I have to avenge Violet! I’m going to rip them into pieces!” The snake women cursed as they retreated, but their fear was apparent. They never thought they would encounter such strong enemies. However, Lyle and the others did not relent. It was easy to take care of these creatures with their strength. Thus, they did not let the snake women escape. “Stop them from running away. Let’s show them how powerful we are.” Lyle waved his hand, and his men caught the snake women who tried to run. “Cut off their tails as a gift for their matriarch,” Aslan said leisurely with a wave of his hand. An eye for an eye, that was the law of the jungle. They brought this upon themselves, so no one sympathized with them. Even Foxy was indifferent to the development of things. “We must teach them a lesson. They're up to no good. I've heard of their evil deeds before,” Foxy added fuel to the fire. Everyone looked over curiously, wo
The upper bodies of the snake were human while their lower bodies were a snake's tail, which looked very strange and out of place. “The monster that took Philip away was quite pretty, so why are these monsters so ugly?” As a person who placed importance on appearance, Lyle complained in annoyance at this unfair treatment. The snake women understood human language and scowled at Lyle's words, shocked by the insult. “Stupid human, you’re really bold to humiliate us like this. Are you not afraid of death?”The snake women were very unhappy and rushed toward Lyle angrily, upset with his arrogance. Lyle and the others sprang into action excitedly. It was interesting to see everyone fighting without hesitation. “Brothers, since we've provided you with weapons, do your best and don’t let us down.” With Lyle and Aslan's motivation, everyone started fighting excitedly. With their strength, it was easy to take care of some snakes. However, the snake women were a force to be reckon
Philip looked at the snake monster curiously. This creature was clearly not a thousand years old. According to rumors, the ancient monster that lived in the palace was at least ten thousand years old. “I attacked you because I'm interested in you. Did you think I was just making things difficult for you? The person behind me wants to see you. Why don't you come with me?” The female snake commander was expectant. She hoped Philip would agree without thinking and save her the trouble. Philip was clearly the strongest among them. As long as he was taken away, the other weaklings would have no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy. “I knew there was someone behind you.” Philip smiled. Since the other party had made preparations, he would oblige. Yule was worried. He did not want Philip to leave with the other party. It was a big risk. “Philip, don’t go. This place is full of dangers. If you go with them, these monsters will devour you in no time. Everyone knows how scary thes
Although the matriarch did not have a good impression of humans, she longed to visit that crowded and lively place. “I’ll lure them over and get rid of them one by one. It’ll be a piece of cake,” a female commander in armor stepped forward and said smugly. It would be easy to quickly get rid of these useless guys with their strength. Meanwhile, Philip and the others were hurrying along the way, feeling all the more that something was wrong. “We seem to be trapped in a maze.” Philip frowned as he looked around, realizing the problem. They had been running around in circles with no way of getting out. “Hehe, you guys are quite smart to figure out that you’ve been trapped in a maze. In that case, why don’t you offer someone as a sacrifice so that you can leave this scary maze?” As Philip and the others were discussing the predicament, a terrifying voice rang out. Everyone was horrified upon hearing this ghastly voice and looked around in a panic, wondering what was going on.
