“That’s my lady’s call. I heard my lady’s call!” Tom looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the voice. However, he could not hear the sound clearly. Due to his injuries, he could not contact his lady through normal means. Although he could sense the lady's signal, it was a fool’s errand to find her. “Do you have anything that can help me restore energy? Such as energy stones or something similar. Hurry up and find some for me. After I recover, I won’t forget your reward!” Tom said condescendingly. He could only rely on empty promises to quickly restore his strength. The fishermen went through their belongings to help the god. The little girl who took care of Tom timidly took out some energy stones from the cabinet. It was her dowry prepared by the family. Fishermen were not rich so they had to prepare dowry in advance. These energy stones were the only savings in the little girl's family. “Mighty God, see if this thing can help you. Feel free to us
With food and drinks and people willing to serve him unconditionally, Tom led a good life. Tom had always been the servant, not the other way around. He was quickly lost in this pleasure. While Tom was basking in happiness, a group of merfolk arrived quietly. They sneaked up to the shore and came to this small fishing village. “If I'm not mistaken, Tom should be inside. Let's go and catch him!” Everyone rushed forward with their teeth and claws bared. Although they did not know Tom’s exact location, it was no big deal. They just had to kill everyone and Tom would appear eventually. The merfolk quickly rushed into the houses and killed all the sleeping fishermen. Tom jolted awake when he sensed that disgusting presence. Tom saw the little girl lying on the side. She fell asleep while taking care of him. “Little girl, wake up!” Tom urged the little girl and pushed her awake. The little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Tom curiously. “Mighty God, do you
Even if he died fighting today, he had to seek justice for the fishermen. The little girl and her family fled in the direction of the Imperial City, running and stumbling along the way, looking miserable. Tom had recovered some strength during this time and could fight the merfolk. Although at a disadvantage, Tom did his best. The fishing village was not too far from the Imperial City so the little girl and her family soon arrived. After verifying their identities, the guards let them in. Although they looked strangely flustered, the guards could not stop people with normal identities from going in. The Imperial City was not as quiet as the small fishing village. It was a time when the nightlife was the busiest, and Lyle and Aslan were out having fun. After learning that Philip would go to the world of the gods soon, they cherished their life here, fearing that they would not be enjoying this sense of superiority before long. “To be honest, I look forward to that place, b
This man named Tom was probably related to Marina, and their enemies were after him. Tom asked this little girl to pass on the message, hoping that someone could save him. Philip asked the little girl about Tom’s location. “Where is Tom now? We’re practitioners. Maybe we can save him.” The little girl was very happy to hear that and pointed out a direction. Philip gave the little girl an address and told her to wait there. “Since you have nowhere to go, stay there and wait for us to bring Tom back.” After saying that, Philip and the others disappeared from the spot, as terrifying as ghosts. The family was still in shock. They looked at the address Philip handed over and went to the place while asking for directions along the way. Meanwhile, Marina was uneasy and felt that something bad was about to happen. Philip and the others quickly appeared in the small fishing village. The small fishing village was in shambles and the scent of blood could be smelled from a long d
Tom's expression changed upon hearing Aslan’s remarks. No one was allowed to humiliate his young lady like this, but on the account that they saved his life, Tom forced himself to endure it. “Please take me to my lady as soon as possible. We’re not from this world. Our bodies will be affected if we stay here any longer!” Tom said anxiously, his sincerity apparent. Philip nodded and signaled the others. They led Tom back to their house. Marina was wandering outside because she was uneasy. Although she did not know what happened, she felt uncomfortable. “Is Tom in trouble?” Marina paced back and forth worriedly. She wanted to find Tom but had no idea where to go in this big world. At this time, Tom saw Marina pacing back and forth in the garden. Tom rushed up and knelt in front of her excitedly. “My lady, I failed to protect you and caused you to be stranded alone outside for such a long time.” Tom was so excited to see Marina again that tears welled up in his eyes. H
Marina had obviously taken a turn for the worse. The scales on her body were dull, not at all shiny as before. Marina looked at her dull scales dejectedly, knowing very well that she was in trouble now. Things would be tricky if she could not leave in time. “When can we set off?” Marina asked instead of answering Philip’s question. If Philip could open the portal in time, she would not have to stay in this place anymore. “Tomorrow.” Although Philip was very curious about the world of the gods, he knew it was not a place normal people could visit at random. Their lives would be at risk if anything happened. Thinking of this, Philip decided to make the final selection. He would only bring Lyle and Aslan with him for now. At this time, Foxy appeared in front of Philip. As someone not involved in this incident, Foxy wanted to tag along too. “Don’t leave me behind. I want to see what the world of the gods looks like.” Foxy kept flicking her ears, which looked cute and
“Tom, what brings you here at this hour?” Philip said curiously. This guy was not on his side so this was clearly not a social visit. There must be a reason for this visit. “I want to ask for a favor. Can you take the little girl away with you? I want to take her to the world of the gods but my lady refused!” Tom was a forthright person and spoke his mind. Philip was surprised to hear this. He always thought that these creatures were heartless but Tom was different. “My lady said that only gods can live in the world of practitioners so I can’t bring the little girl with me.” Hearing that, Philip smiled brightly. He always wanted to learn more about this so-called world of the gods, and a tour guide just turned up at his doorstep. “I want to help you, but I don't know anything about that place. Why don't you tell me about the situation in that world first? If there’s no big problem, I’ll help you,” Philip said, trying to pry for information. Tom was excited upon hearing th
Philip smiled at the little girl’s words. This took no effort at all. He was still wondering how to speak to her but she took the initiative to approach him instead. “Why do you want to become stronger?” Philip smiled calmly as if he could read her thoughts at a glance. “You may think that I want to become stronger because of Tom, but that's not the case. I want to become stronger to avenge my family. Since the monsters come from the so-called world of the gods, I want to follow you to that world and kill them all!” The little girl's eyes were full of anger. She could hardly control her emotions when she thought of these creatures killing her family, relatives, and friends. “Tom is a nice guy, but I don’t care about such things. I’m more concerned about avenging my family!” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the little girl’s declaration. The little girl knew what she wanted and did not disappoint him. “In that case, take these pills and eat them. You have to bear with it
“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
