Chapter 631

Could Kirk really cast a curse just by using someone's name?Maybe he simply hadn't used the ability before—or perhaps it was newly awakened. Either way, it was possible.A thought flickered through Ray's mind. He declared boldly, "A true man never changes his name nor his surname. My name is Channing Oakley!"He put on a valiant, unflinching front.Astrid let out a soft, knowing sound in her heart, a cold sneer tugging at her lips.It was true that Kirk couldn't curse a target through their name alone. However, they did have an ability user capable of locating someone through their name—if the names matched exactly, every individual bearing that name could be sensed. A truly uncanny ability.She wasn't confident she could kill Ray outright. But once she had his name, she could pinpoint his location. When the time came, she and Gunnr could strike together and kill him."Channing, what an honor," Astrid said with a smile.The smile hadn't even faded when both her hands lashed fo

A giant over a hundred meters tall—how large would its fist be?That punch came fast and heavy, effortlessly breaking the sound barrier. And yet, despite its terrifying force, it carried not the slightest whistle through the air.Ray remained utterly calm, opening a spatial portal above his head.The fist crashed down—and something bizarre happened. It plunged straight into another dimension and vanished instantly. Not only that, but the ice giant's momentum carried it forward. After the fist disappeared, the forearm followed, then the upper arm, each part swallowed in turn.Only then did Astrid manage to halt her advance, even stepping back slightly.The massive ice giant now lacked its right arm. It was an eerie sight.Ray couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the missed opportunity.Though the ice giant appeared whole, it was actually composed of countless fragments of snow and ice—effectively a collection of separate pieces. The spatial portal could only devour whatever entered

Each spatial swap covered a hundred meters. With a single thought, Ray could trigger it—and with spatial perception guiding him, he could precisely lock onto usable objects along his path and swap positions instantly.How fast he could "run" depended entirely on how quickly his thoughts moved.After days of training, his mind now operated at a blistering pace. Ten thoughts per second.In other words, he could advance one kilometer every second.That was far faster than Astrid. The distance between them closed rapidly.Four kilometers. Two. One… three hundred meters. One hundred.Close enough.Spatial swap.Whoosh—Astrid appeared in midair right before him. This time, Ray immediately expanded his domain, determined to finish her once and for all.Her abilities were bizarre and ever-changing. The combination of spatial portal and spatial swap had already failed twice. So now, he switched tactics—back to his spatial domain. Last time, it had been against thirty-seven opponents; t

Chapter 634

Gunnr raised a hand, and every single Jayzepanese immediately halted, standing respectfully behind him.He looked at Ray and smiled. "Channing, you Gohaven people have a saying: a wise man submits to circumstances. Fanghold is the strongest force in Guillory City—without equal. And Guillory City is the most densely populated city in your country. If we can rule here, then in any other city, we would still be the dominant power."To stand against us is to stand against the tide. That is not a wise choice."But we, the Fanghold, thirst for talent. If you join us, I won't hold your past against you. On the contrary, I will value you highly and grant you endless wealth and glory."His English was imperfect, but it was clear he had studied Gohaven culture well. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quote so many idioms.Ray sneered.Cunning as ever. Gunnr spoke with apparent sincerity, but if he actually believed a word of it, he'd be beaten to death the very next second.If it were some

Chapter 635

The Jayzepanese split into groups and took turns attacking.Ray accepted every strike with a faint smile, yet never counterattacked.Feints within feints—he wouldn't let them see through him.In this way, Ray expended virtually nothing, but neither did they. Rotating their attacks meant they could also rotate their recovery. In theory, they could drag this out for a very, very long time.On the surface, it was a stalemate. In reality, both sides were calculating.After a moment's thought, Ray decided to withdraw.Why fight in broad daylight? Nighttime was his domain. He'd return after dark. What then—would they all flee like Guillermo, running off with their buckets?Time to go."Don't forget to wash your necks, you bastards," he laughed. "I'll be back soon to take your heads."With that, he activated spatial swap and vanished in an instant.What now?Gunnr's expression darkened. Ever since their full evolution, nothing like this had happened—an enemy storming their doorstep

Chapter 636

Ray froze for a moment. He had already tested this many times before—once a person had completed evolution, they couldn't evolve again.The women who had failed had all tried.He had even suspected that Amanda might be a special case—that perhaps others could undergo a second or even third evolution.But no. It simply wasn't possible.And yet now, Molly was saying that Katie had actually begun a second evolution?"How are you so sure?" he asked."Katie has a high fever. Medicine isn't helping at all," Molly replied. "It looks just like when she was evolving before."Could a second evolution really happen?Ray thought for a moment, then asked, "What did she do? Or what happened to her?"Molly answered immediately, "This morning, we were clearing the snow in the manor. After working for a while, it started to snow lightly. We went back inside, and not long after that, Katie developed a fever.""Could she have just caught a chill?" Ray asked.After all, Katie wasn't an ability
