No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The blue things gathered in the air and formed a crystal-clear stone. The stone man screamed in misery. He never thought that Philip had a way to extricate his core. His ability was extraordinary. Philip was not someone he could mess with. They were not on the same level at all. The stone man was on the verge of dying after losing his core. There was no way he could confront Philip anymore. Even the black energy around him became much weaker. Some bold people touched the black energy and found that the damage done to them was much smaller. “This is great. It proves that Philip is a force to be reckoned with. He simply took the core from that stone man's body with a wave of his hand and saved us.” “I wonder when we can leave. I swear I won’t believe any rumors so easily from now on. Those people are too much.” Once bitten, twice shy, so everyone was apprehensive. It would be a disaster if something similar happened to them again. Seeing that the stone man was dying and una
Philip was puzzled by everyone’s reaction. “Why aren't you leaving?” Everyone looked at each other. Some were embarrassed and stepped forward to please Philip. They took out their treasures and offered them to Philip. They were grateful to Philip for saving them and treating them with reason. Some ungrateful families sneaked out after the passage was opened without giving anything in return. Philip ignored them, but he took note of the people who tried to please him. They were smart and had a bright future. Philip was happy with them. As some people left, others followed suit. The merfolk lingered around Philip, unwilling to leave. After all, their chief was gone. No matter how powerful they were, they would never gain a foothold. Their race would be wiped out once they fell to a certain level, so everyone wanted to join Philip. At least Philip was a powerful person. It would be best if Philip was willing to help them. “Please take us in!” “The merfolk don't have many tre
“Philip, I’m curious to find out what made you stay there for such a long time.” Aslan approached Philip curiously. According to his understanding of Philip, he must have encountered something good, which was why he did not leave at once. Philip smiled indifferently. “You’ll find out soon enough. It’s related to improving everyone's strength,” Philip said mysteriously. Rabbit hopped and looked at Philip anxiously. As an impatient rabbit, he could not bear seeing Philip whetting their appetites. He wanted to share the story immediately. “Since you’re so eager to tell them, go ahead and satisfy their doubts.” Philip smiled and shook his head at Rabbit’s anxiety. Rabbit was very excited to get Philip’s consent. He told everyone what they encountered there and described it so vividly that everyone felt as if they were there too. Philip realized that Rabbit was quite good at telling stories. “You have no idea how amazing that place is. It's full of ordinary creatures, but t
Aslan and the others had been teleported to different locations. Everyone was confused and wondered where they were. Some people appeared among some terrifying monsters and started fighting desperately as soon as they landed. Others landed in the desert where Philip was before. They looked about in puzzlement and wondered what was going on. As Philip’s followers, however, they were smart and quickly adapted to the situation. The sneaky little Rabbit was still by Philip’s side. Rabbit stayed in Philip's pocket and clung tightly to his belt the whole time. No powerful force could throw him away, so he managed to stay with Philip. “That was close. I felt a huge force just now and thought I’d be thrown out!” Rabbit felt that something was wrong when he entered. He quickly clung tightly to Philip so that they did not separate. However, that possibility still lingered in his mind, so he made preparations to deal with such a situation. Philip reached out and patted the sneaky Rabb
“They really stink. I think you should ask Aslan to do this next time. I believe he’ll enjoy this,” Rabbit said offhandedly as he led Philip in the trail of the scent. Philip smiled. He had recorded Rabbit’s statement with a projection stone. He could expect a good show once he showed it to Aslan. Rabbit had no idea that Philip had laid a trap for him. He was still hopping and leading the way. They soon arrived at a mysterious sea area that was remote and gloomy. “Did they live in such a dangerous and disgusting place?” Rabbit sighed. Sure enough, ugly creatures liked to live in dark places. Similar to the fish creatures, they used to live in a swamp too, maybe to hide their ugly appearance or something. Now that they looked better, they refused to return to the dark and damp environment again. Philip looked around without a word. He saw a stone sign on the side—deep-sea fish creatures. That should be the name of their name. The scale of them seemed quite big. “Ph
At this time, a merman chased after the deep-sea fish creatures with a trident in hand. “Where do you think you’re going? Don't think I don't know that you took advantage of the chaos to massacre other villages. Since you can do such a thing, you must bear the consequences. I’m here to take your lives today!” The merman was clearly seeking justice, chasing the other party angrily. The deep-sea fish creatures escaped frantically without an explanation. “Damn that lunatic!” They did not expect that the merman was so fit, keeping up with them despite fleeing for so long. He did not seem tired at all. Meanwhile, Philip arrived and heard someone cursing. It looked like a merman. He was a force to be reckoned with. Philip could feel the huge pressure he exuded from a distance. He was definitely a powerful being who should not be trifled with. He was strong enough to drive this race to this state, which was enough to prove how extraordinary he was. The merman was startled
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
