A minute earlier.All the top ten rankers of Hawkers received two messages simultaneously. One was that the Novick was made the temporary Southern Guardian, and that the festival was about to start.At the same time, Sheryl also received an offer to become the southern guardian. She was particularly asked to take her time and reply after the festival ended, assuming she was still alive by then.Sheryl was naturally upset after reading the message. “The timing of this… They’re trying to separate me and Denver. What a shitty mind game. That old crow must be behind this. Natalia… I’ll have to do something about her. She’s been one of the biggest obstacles for our group for a long time. I’ll show her what happens when she messes with me.”Just then, Sheryl kept receiving messages from the puppets she had spread around Hawk Park.Most of those wooden puppets kept getting destroyed at a ridiculous pace.“W-What’s going on?”Sheryl grew quite nervous from that. Her intuition made her immedi

Lark was sitting on a rooftop and was staring at the blue feather in his hand. It had the number 42.“Whether it’s a coincidence or not, I got the feather of the same rank that I held for a while.“And they say that we can come and try to gong the bell if we want to finish this festival. What arrogance from those bastard knights.“I was not expecting the festival to start so abruptly.”He took out the box that Sedrick had given him.“I have to get accustomed to this power, Rose. Help me keep out of others’ sight for a while.”“Yes, Master,” Rose replied.Lark then went into the building.Devices lit up at the four corners of the building and created an invisible barrier.A butterfly was passing by.It crashed into the barrier and disintegrated into bits almost instantly.At Drug Tower.Rob the fifth son, being a top ranker, had received the information a minute earlier compared to the other rankers.He pressed the red button in his office.And it took all the patients and clients in t

On the Southern side of Rose Park.All the hypnotized men sent by Rob used each other’s help to climb the wall and entered the Rose Park.Rocky, Stoney, Livia, Berg and many other members of Denver’s group were still there.So, they immediately got engaged in battle.Rocky just threw a punch, and it got the opponent flying a dozen feet and back into the wall.Rocky kicked another guy, and the same thing happened.“The hell? Why are they so weak?” Rocky was confused.Stoney flicked a marble and hit a woman in the head, but that woman still attacked her, despite bleeding from the forehead. “These people don’t look sane. I think they’re drugged.”“Did someone send them here?” Livia frowned. “Their clothes suggest that they’re probably not part of Hawkers.” Her eyes suddenly widened. “Wait, guys, don’t kill anymore.”“Oops,” Berg just grabbed someone’s head and crushed it, killing that person there and then.“Berg! What the hell is wrong with you? Didn’t I just tell you to not kill them?”

“Watch out!” Denver shouted as the symbol on Tyron’s back glowed.Ilene frowned and jumped back almost instinctively.Tyron’s whole body started to glow.Denver also moved back, thinking Tyron was going to explode, but Tyron discharged a black beam through his mouth.Denver rushed in and pushed Joelle out of the way.The black beam struck Denver and took him with it. Denver had to use his already weakened left arm to resist this dark energy.But in the end, he was pushed through many trees and buildings alike, and he went all the way over to the border wall of Hawk Park.He collided with the barrier, and the black beam pierced through the barrier as well and broke through the wall outside.Just the shockwave blew away all the military vehicles and equipment nearby, also causing some of the vehicles to explode. As for the military guys, they were like ants suddenly hit by a storm.The black beam kept on going, but a person in a green robe appeared sliding and blocked the beam with his

“Sorry for showing you a pathetic side of me struggling against my own inner demons, Denver,” Ilene said, forging a new light sword that was thicker and brighter than before. “It won’t happen again.”“Let’s just crush that bastard,” Denver kept his gaze focused on hellbound Tyron.“You little gnats want to fight me together?” Tyron’s grin stretching quite wide, eyes glowing like embers in a pit. "You are mere meat who think they have a soul. Struggle all you want, but you can’t beat an eternal being like me. I can crush you two little sparks of clay into burgers and have you for dinner!"Tyron’s arms stretched and grew in size.He literally clapped his gigantified hands at them.He was insanely fast at it.Ilene was able to teleport herself, but Denver didn’t move an inch.It wasn’t that he couldn’t escape. He just didn’t bother escaping.He extended his arms and not only blocked the giant palms clapping at him but also clawed his fingers into the dark, macabre hands and shouted, “Kil
