Mason was at a loss for what to do. Mason’s actions aroused Philip's and Yule’s curiosity. They wondered what was going on with this guy. “What are you doing? Did you lose something? Or is your idea of showing us making us wait for you for no reason?” Mason scowled but quickly recalled that Yule’s things had gone missing too. Mason rushed through the crowd and came to Lyle, questioning him solemnly. “Tell me the truth. Did you steal the things from my bag? Return my things to me at once!” Mason was furious when he realized that someone had stolen his treasures. It would not matter if Lyle stole some insignificant things, but the powder was meant to save his life on East Hill Island. He could not lose it for no reason. Lyle rolled his eyes at Mason’s actions as if he thought Mason was unhinged. “What are you talking about? I thought you were very powerful, but you’re nothing but a loser. “If you’re unwilling to fight on the battlefield, stop goofing around here. Our time i
Thinking of the various upcoming dangers they would face, Mason finally decided to cede to Yule after some deliberation. While Yule took a break from the fight, Mason pulled him aside. “I want to make a deal with you. If you’re willing to protect my safety, I’ll agree to one of your requests.” Yule sneered inwardly at Mason’s humble and flattering attitude. He never thought this guy would give in to save himself. Mason always thought highly of himself, but to survive in a dangerous place like East Hill Island, he was willing to abandon his so-called dignity and ask for help. “Hehe, since you mentioned it, I won’t refuse. Don’t worry, you can stay with my team. We’re comrades, after all!” Yule’s thinking was very simple. Although Mason could not hold a candle to Philip, he was a weaponsmith, after all. Maybe he could play a role at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Yule reached a deal with Mason. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity for no reason. If he a
“If you’re that strong, you may lead the way and bring us into that harmless palace.” Mason fell silent at Philip’s words. He had been simply shooting his mouth off without any plans in mind. It was impossible for him to lead the way. Mason chose to remain silent after glaring daggers at Philip. Everyone took out the food they prepared for the trip, and Mason took out some dry food from his storage ring. Mason had prepared a lot of food in his storage bag, but everything had been emptied out. Luckily, he had put some dry food in his storage ring or he would have starved to death. Yule and his party could not provide a lavish spread either. They also had some dry food that was portable and longer-lasting. On the other hand, Philip and his friends were very busy, but no one knew what they were doing. Mason and the others quickly sat down to eat and rest while Aslan and the others took out the things they had prepared. Whether it was a barbecue stove or various cooking equ
Yule did not expect that Philip would share his food with them. He was stunned by the gesture. “Thank you. We’d never have such delicious food if you weren’t here.” Yule took a bite without hesitation, smiling brightly. He never thought that he could eat such delicious food. Yule and his people almost went crazy over the delicious taste. They were very excited and wished they could join Philip's barbecue team too. Mason sat unhappily aside. Those arrogant people did not give him anything. “What’s the big deal with barbecued meat? It doesn’t look that good anyway.” Mason wiped his drool away. He kept mocking the barbecued meat and did not think there was anything special about it. At this time, Yule stood up and exclaimed in amazement, “As everyone knows, I’m the son of an important figure in Deadly Arena, but I’ve never eaten such delicious beast meat in my life! This is definitely premium cuisine made from premium beast meat. I’ll never give it up for anything!” Yule m
Yule made a swiping motion across his neck to intimidate his men. Everyone nodded solemnly. Of course, they knew not to reveal this secret. “Don’t worry, Yule, we’ll keep it a secret. We've eaten the meat and know how valuable it is. It’ll be dangerous if this matter is exposed.” “That’s right. They're so kind to share their food with us. It’d be too much if we repay kindness with ingrate.” Everyone spoke excitedly, and Philip smiled at their conscientiousness. They were quite sensible to keep this matter a secret for him. Everyone soon finished the meal happily, and Aslan even provided them with good liquor from his inventory. As practitioners, some liquor was nothing to them. Mason glared at everyone with envy and jealousy. No one offered him a bite until they finished their food. However, Mason was very headstrong and refused to give in to Philip even though he was drooling.Everyone knew that Mason did not get along well with Philip and the others, so no one put in a g
The palace looked very small from a distance, but it was actually so big that Philip could not see the end at a glance. Fortunately, they just had a good break or they would have been exhausted by now. “This place looks amazing,” Aslan marveled in surprise at this beautiful scenery. Just the luxurious appearance of this palace alone was more than met the eye. “Great, we finally reached the palace.” Yule was surprised at this mysterious place too. “If you hadn’t led the way, I’m afraid I would've gotten here on my own. It doesn’t seem like a good place.” The scary snakes alone were enough to keep everyone away. All the snakes were deadly creatures. It would be a dead end if they could not find the right direction in the fog. Mason could not wait to rush inside. He marched to the palace, thinking he could be the first to enter. To his surprise, he was stopped at the door. Some sort of barrier at the door blocked him. “What’s going on? Am I not allowed inside?” Seeing th
“Well, I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee the result. This is clearly an ancient formation. Even a powerful weaponsmith like me can hardly break it.” To preserve his dignity, he had to make things clear. Since he had mentioned the background of this powerful formation, it would not be too embarrassing if he failed. Lyle and the others simply nodded and smiled without comment. Mason plucked up his courage and studied the formation. He knew that this barrier’s function was just to stop them without harming them. However, it would be different once he tried to break the formation. “I’ll show you.” Mason was not sure that he could break this barrier. At most, he could only weaken the barrier for a short duration and ask them to break it by force. Although this method was a little embarrassing, it was the best choice. Philip and the others simply watched without a word. Lyle grabbed a stool from somewhere and watched with a bright smile on his face. After some work,
Mason was very confident that Philip could not break this large barrier. Philip sighed and said, “You said it yourself. Once I break this barrier, you’ll do whatever is requested of you. To prevent Mason from going back on his word, Philip reiterated the deal. Mason nodded calmly. He felt that he was powerful enough. After getting Mason's affirmation, Philip walked forward and broke the barrier without hesitation. He did it so quickly that no one could react. Philip shrugged and pointed ahead. “I’ve destroyed the barrier. You may check and see if the barrier is still up.” Once the barrier was destroyed, they could enter and exit freely. Philip waited for Mason’s assessment with a calm smile on his face. Mason frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Although skeptical, Mason decided to check. If the barrier had been destroyed, it was enough to prove that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, a weaponsmith like Mason could not afford to offend him.
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
