Since the trial had begun, it had to be the three people he had arranged through headquarters.Before long, a man appeared. He had only one ear but was incredibly muscular."Donovan Williamson, welcome to House of Wrath. I am the gatekeeper of this trial," Felix said. "You failed the first challenge, so you should know the rules by now. Before you can truly challenge me, you have to complete a test first."The familiar screen appeared again, displaying the same words—anger and damage.Donovan didn't say a single word. Instead, he simply looked around the grand hall, studying his surroundings with curiosity."Alright. Let's begin," Felix continued.The same little girl from before appeared, selling her roses with the same pure, innocent smile.Donovan slowly bent down and gave her an eerie grin. "Alright. I will buy a rose from you. However, in exchange, you have to give me a gift," he said.The girl blinked. "What gift do you want?""Your eyes."The moment he spoke, Donovan g

As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Felix felt a surge of excitement."Finally."He followed the attendant down a secluded path to the most remote building in Laurel Resort.Felix had been here before, but the last time he tried to enter, the attendant stopped him. He could also sense a terrifying spiritual force lingering in the area, making it clear that forcing his way in was impossible.He hadn't forgotten what Donna had told him. Going head-to-head with an S-tier Malevolent Phantom was no different from seeking death.However, he had no trouble entering when he entered with the attendant. That only confirmed his suspicions that a gatekeeper wouldn't be discarded so easily. He was certain the Malevolent Phantom wanted to devour him."The boss is inside. Just go straight ahead." The attendant opened the door and stepped aside, clearly unwilling to enter."Thank you."As soon as Felix walked in, the door shut behind him.The hallway wasn't long, but even with the lig

With a buzz, the crimson sphere trembled violently, releasing a thick red mist that quickly spread toward Felix.He didn't know exactly what it was, but he wasn't stupid. If it touched him, his chances of survival would plummet.With a thought, the Inkspire Quill appeared in his hand. He casually sketched a few strokes in the air. At first glance, it seemed useless, but Felix knew better. This was one of his trump cards.If the Inkspire Quill didn't work, he'd have to resort to one of the techniques from the Phaeron Codex."Ahh! What did you do? What kind of soul-bounded weapon is that?"A pained voice echoed through the room, filled with agony, as if something was corroding its very soul.The red shield that had been clashing evenly with Lumen, as well as the crimson threads attacking Infinite Shield, all faltered, their movements becoming erratic. Even the mist, which had been expanding relentlessly, began to retract.Felix wasn't about to waste this opportunity. Lumen shot fo

Inside a suite at Laurel Resort, a middle-aged man with a face full of pockmarks suddenly furrowed his brows. "Why am I still staying here? Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it."Muttering to himself, he got up and hurried toward the door. He moved so quickly that when he reached the lobby, he didn't even bother checking out. He just walked straight outside.However, he hadn't gone far before he suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Why are there so many people from headquarters here?"Sensing something was wrong, the middle-aged man's figure flickered and disappeared in an instant. Then, he reappeared by a mountain stream some distance away from the resort.He muttered, "That was close. I almost got surrounded. But why is headquarters deploying so many people to encircle Laurel Resort?"A voice suddenly answered him, saying, "Because there's a Malevolent Phantom inside. That's why."Before he could react, he realized his body was no longer under his control."F

There was no doubt that the Phaeron Codex was truly powerful. Just the Spirit Eye technique alone proved its worth. Not only did it work without physical contact, but as one's strength grew, its range extended as well. Most importantly, unlike Soul Manifestation, using Spirit Eye didn't cut off one's awareness of the outside world."I've erased the ties Hall of Souls left on your soul," Felix said.The middle-aged man was utterly stunned. No wonder the organization had warned them to avoid any confrontation with Felix for now. Felix had already reached a terrifying level that he could even remove the soul-binding constraints."You're one of Hall of Souls' Green Soul Scouts, aren't you?"At this point, his fate was no longer in his own hands. What reason was there to deny it?"Yes, I am."A bitter smile crept onto his face. "But honestly, you won't get much valuable information from me. While we rank above Blue Soul Scouts and can access some hidden details, it's not much. "

Felix quickly turned his head to see a man rushing toward him about 30 feet away. The man's arms were unnaturally long, completely beyond a human's reach. If they hung naturally, his fingertips would've easily touched his ankles.His speed was terrifying. Using his arms to propel himself forward, he crossed the long distance in almost a blink of an eye. On the other hand, Felix stood still—not even raising his fists.An invisible force immediately hit the strange man. There was a bang as the man's whole body exploded, his head flying into the air. As the head fell to the ground, a body seemed to sprout from the base of the neck. Felix had only seen such regeneration in Malevolent Phantoms before, and it could only happen after getting destroyed multiple times. A slight frown formed on his face. Felix slowly raised his right hand, stretching out his index finger before tapping lightly.There was another bang, though much quieter than before. The man who just regrew his body stood s
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 1302
Since even the man—a Green Soul Scout—confirmed Felix's thoughts, this was most likely the latest experiment. Despite using his domain, he couldn't sense the Malevolent Phantom in the man. This could only mean one thing—the range of control over these things had exceeded his domain."The soul ties on you. Hall of Souls can always track where you are, right?" "Yes."With that answer, Felix finally understood how Hall of Souls found him. However, the only thing he couldn't figure out was why they were using experiments against him, knowing that it was useless."Alright. Let's get back to the Black Soul Scout you mentioned."…More than ten minutes later, Xena and Hector arrived with a group of people. Felix handed the Green Soul Scout over to them and pointed at the headless corpse. "That should be the latest experiment developed by Hall of Souls. We seem to have quite some trouble on our hands."After listening to his explanation, the two of them frowned. "I didn't expect Ha

Felix looked into Donna's serious eyes and took a step back. "What are you trying to do?"Donna was an S-tier Malevolent Phantom. Kissing her? He wouldn't have even thought about touching her!Donna chuckled. "Look at how terrified you are. If I wanted you dead, you would've been dead a long time ago. Do I really need to prove myself?"Although that was true, Felix was still doubtful. "What do you mean? Do you just want to feel how it is to kiss a human?" "Hey! I'm not that boring." She pointed at his chest and said solemnly, "You damaged your soul in the fight with the S-tier Malevolent Phantom. If you kiss me, I can use my soul power to heal you. "After all, I made a lot of profit from the Mystical Explosive Orb this time, so you deserve to be rewarded."S-tier Malevolent Phantoms could heal people? Felix was shocked. The abilities of Malevolent Phantoms were beyond human comprehension."I'm fine," he replied.When Donna heard this answer, she burst out laughing, even throw

Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t

With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc
