Seeing the hundreds of thousands of black snakes coming down, Ilene prepared herself to use her ability.However, Tyron trapped her in a black cube. “Not so fast, you fake saint.”“Shit,” Ilene was worried that these seemingly small snakes could potentially kill so many people in Hawk Park or worse turn them into monsters similar to Tyron.However, nearly ninety percent of the snakes stopped in mid air. Only the rest of the snakes fell to the ground.“Who stopped them?” Ilene wondered. “Is it Mickey?”But Denver looked down and saw Catherine at work. She put pressure on the snakes and crushed them to ink midair.However, the ink regrew into snakes and merged into one big snake before slithering down the sky and shooting itself at Catherine.Catherine used all her power to repel, but it wasn’t enough.The giant black snake zoomed in and opened its mouth wide, trying to devour her alive.Denver landed like a thunderbolt and crushed the snake’s head to bits. He pulled out a black crystal

All the electronic devices that had stopped working began to work again without needing any repair.This relieved everyone, and the people quickly moved on and went back to their work: most to sleep.At Rose Park.Sheryl’s wooden puppets were effective in killing the black, shadowy serpents. So, nobody in Rose Park was affected by those things.And everybody in Donners was finally able to meet.Their meeting did not happen at Rose Park. Rather it happened in the underground chamber where the locals had stayed not long ago.Denver was hoping that he’d remember things after seeing their faces, but all he could do was smile and greet them one by one.He greeted all the fifty-odd members personally, which made some of them quite happy.“Boss, we all saw you smash that ginormous sword to pieces. It was so epic!” Some men praised him. “You’re as strong as ever!”Denver sat down on the ground in the midst of them. He was not able to freely move his left arm.Not many noticed that, but Lovia,

The previous 100th ranker, Brad, was checking the new rankers’ list while sitting on a pile of dead wolves that he killed.“They gave me 50th rank?” Brad frowned. “These rankings are not just because of the missions we did. I was pretty careful to not let my secret operations be seen. How did these council members know what I’m up to?“Also… that monstrous guy Denver was given the hundredth rank? What sort of rotten joke is this? They’re clearly trying to mock him. The council never liked that guy for some reason. Maybe, it’s because he doesn’t lick their butts like most other rankers do. Or there could be more than meets the eye.“Whatever it is, it doesn’t really concern me since I’m not foolish enough to go after him. Right now, my priority is to boost my own strength and status so that I can stand toe to toe with the top rankers.”“Here you are, Brad,” a feminine voice reached his ears. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”Brad looked to his right and saw a man dressed in a ski

At Rose Park.“Are we really going after that guy? He’s known to be very careful with everything he does, right?” Joelle was talking to Sheryl. “I’m sure he’s fully prepared and ready. I think we should think again, sis.”“Stop talking too much. You’re slowing my thoughts,” Sheryl pulled her cheek. “We’re not going to change our plans even if the enemy is prepared. We just have to beat his ass, that’s all.”“But why are you going there?” Joelle said. “I know you’ve gotten stronger, but can you really beat him?”“I wouldn’t have suggested it if I didn’t have the confidence,” Sheryl said. “We have to beat three top rankers if we want to even have a chance at getting the top three ranks. So, this is just the start.”“Can I come with you?”“No, I’m taking Lovia along, so we’ll be fine,” Sheryl told her.Joelle sighed and said, “I wish you good luck. Come back safely.” She quickly put a kiss on Sheryl’s cheek.“Hey, what are you doing?” Sheryl wiped her cheek. “You’re not a kid.”“So what?

At White Tower.Ilene was still recovering from the wound she received from Tyron. But she looked much better now.Many people infiltrated the tower, but they did not come to find any of Ilene’s subordinates.It was strange, but they still chose to go to the top floor and fight Ilene.She was indeed waiting for anyone to challenge her.But she did not brawl with them. She just teleported anybody who had managed to get to the top floor, so they didn’t even get to see her face once.All of these were just teleported to just one place in Rose Park, which was where a single person was waiting for them.It was one of Ilene's subordinates. She took care of them and burned their feathers with her aura, which added up the points to her feathers.“These guys are not challenging enough,” she seemed bored. “I need stronger opponents if I want this leaf to be worth something.”At Rose Park.Stoney and a few members of Donners group defeated a new group that attacked Rose Park.“Their leader is ra
