“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
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
“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
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
“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
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
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
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
“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
