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
“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
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
More importantly, this woman's tricks were quite interesting. Philip did not plan to kill her. Doing so might lead to more trouble. Besides, he wanted to find out her identity, so Philip decided to keep this woman alive for the time being. However, the woman darted away after the failed attack. Her speed was astounding. Philip watched in puzzlement as she vanished. She was not weak and could almost be regarded as an expert, so why would she mess with him? He could tell that she was human. Since they were the same kind, why kill him? Philip opened the door helplessly and saw everyone waiting to watch the fun. They had no idea what happened, and they had not heard any movement in the room. As Philip had been trapped in the other party’s barrier, they could only look at Philip eagerly, hoping to find out what happened inside. Aslan was the most eager, and he looked at Philip wickedly. “That woman is so useless. It’s only been a few minutes…” Before Aslan finished his words
Philip looked at the pill given by the other party. He was not interested in the pill but wanted to find out what the other party was up to. “My master told me to give you this pill. He knows that you’re injured. You can recover very well with this pill.” Everyone was angry upon hearing this. Since the other party knew that Philip was injured, they probably sent the killer. “You guys are shameless! You found a killer to attack Philip, and now, you want to use a pill to act as a good person. You're playing good cop, bad cop! People of the Swift family are always so disgusting. After being locked up for thousands of years, you still can't change your ways and still do such shameful things.” Loony’s obvious disdain eased everyone’s frustration, but they wanted to find out what was going on with this Swift family. “This is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We just know who wants to deal with Philip, but we have no right to expose the other party at our level, so
The messenger seemed surprised. Maybe he did not expect someone to refuse this treasure. “I won’t do anything for you if you don’t make things clear,” Philip said seriously, and everyone nodded. Everyone knew Philip’s character. Although everyone was tempted by the treasure offered by the other party, they knew better than to accept it. Seeing Philip’s tough attitude, the messenger shook his head helplessly and finally changed his tone. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll speak my mind. Philip Clarke, you can’t survive in this world without a backer. I believe someone of your level can understand what I mean.” Seeing the other party's sudden change in attitude, Philip sneered. He had finally exposed his true colors. Now, Philip wanted to find out their true purpose. “My master thinks highly of you. Although your individual strength is important, you’ll only end up dead or face endless troubles without a strong backer to support you.” The messenger turned and lef
The messenger said tentatively, “Philip is nothing but a small potato. Although he made the headlines now, he’s nothing much to shout about. We don't have to go to great lengths for him.” In fact, he looked down on Philip in his heart. After interacting with Philip face-to-face, he thought that Philip was only worthy of having a small force of his own. “You've wasted your years with me. Philip gives me a very special feeling. He’s different from other reckless young men. He’s a force to be reckoned with. At least, he’s my type. It has only been such a short time since he arrived in the world of the gods but he rose to the occasion so quickly. It’s inseparable from his personality and ability.” The messenger showed a sign of disapproval as if they should not think too highly of Philip. “We should take him down as soon as possible because of his ability to avoid any trouble. He may pose a certain threat to us if he’s allowed to develop further.” In his opinion, anyone who might
Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
“Since you’re so confident, I don’t mind telling you that we’ll set off once the family competition is over. It’s best if you can keep up. If not, don’t blame us.” After saying this, Philip turned and left, winking at Selma in the process. Selma nodded and asked the butler to show the spider people out. They were not her friends, so there was no need for them to stay. The spider people were enjoying the rich energy when someone asked them to leave. “What’s going on?” “Why chase us away for no reason? There's so much energy. Just let us practice here. I’m willing to pay for it!” Everyone howled in misery. They were keen to stay and hoped they could live there permanently. Ariadna was embarrassed by their spineless behavior. However, Ariadna was curious about Arachne's conversation with Philip. It seemed that the discussion did not go well or they would not have been chased away. Arachne glared at Selma angrily, shocked that she would kick them out. She was unwilling to
“You have quite a temper. I’ll speak to him, then!” Arachne was annoyed by Ariadna’s attitude. Arachne glared at her with disdain and walked away. Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
