Lily thought she got Sheryl.She saw the sword cut not just through the wooden gauntlets but also her arms. However, even the arms turned to wood.In the fraction of a second that Lily realized it was Sheryl’s clone, vines rose up from the ground and coiled around her.Lily reacted not with her body but aura as it was much faster.She was able to shield herself with an extremely hot vaporous aura that could melt even thick vines.However, a blurry figure moved through the foggy aura like a cat on a mission.Her clawing hand struck Lily’s back.Despite reinforcing herself with aura, Lily felt that hit and was sent flying forward.She spun through the air and landed on a pillar. She was able to stand on the pillar, her body parallel to the ground.Her eyes looked at Sheryl who seemed disappointed that she missed her chance.“That was a double distraction,” Lily uttered.“I swear I felt like I cut your flesh,” Sheryl said. “But how come you’re not bleeding?”“What you cut is my quasi-bod

Philip was looking around Hawk Park from a high point on the cloud.He was able to see through the clouds and even walls.Whenever the members of Soulripper clan went, he sent water arrows that could hunt the targets down.These water arrows affected the internal organs very much, so nobody from their clan stood a chance against these arrows.“My water attacks are effective against these guys, but the lizards are able to withstand them well for some reason…”Philip looked at Mickey who was fighting Soul King and seemed to be struggling. “Should I join?”He heard a noise in the other direction.It was White Phoenix engaged in battle with someone.“Mm?” Philip squinted his eyes and then recognized that person. “Is that Morata? Why does he have wings? To think she’s able to push White Phoenix back… is it really her? Why are they fighting?”He was about to head toward them.Just then, a flying fish came hopping off the clouds.Sedrick was sitting on that fish.He landed behind Philip. “T

Water chains formed out of thin air and bound all the augmen that were attacking Philip.The chains were tied to one another, so the augmen couldn’t move freely because they were all connected.They released aura and electricity and evaporated the water chains.Philip was a bit surprised.Borg grinned. “They can do a lot more than that. Right now, each of them are good as top-rankers, but they will grow and become stronger than the knights. They make the perfect army that can conquer the world. Their growth will also make me grow since we’re all connected. And I will be the perfect king.”“You’re daydreaming too much, Borg,” Philip spun the aura together with his fingers and created a spear that let off golden light.Borg’s expression changed. “Getting serious, are we?”Water condensed around them and submerged both of them and also all the augmen around.Borg grinned because he had already prepared for this. Just by pressing a button, he was able to breathe underwater.He stretched h

“Good Heavens. It seems Borg hasn’t stolen all of your aura,” he took out a black stone dagger and pierced Philip’s gut in one silent, swift moment.Philip felt a strong shock gripping his whole soul. The pain was worse than getting stabbed in one’s heart.Philip’s aura was being sucked away at a rapid pace from all corners of his body.Philip tightened his grip on Sedrick’s shoulder. His skin was frosting. He was losing his grip as well as his color. “You were the… cough… the only friend and mentor I got. I wished this day wouldn’t come.” Blood drained from his eyes.“Waiting for it must have been really uncomfortable…” Sedrick said. “I’m sorry, but the reason I gave you the water ability in the first place was because you had the talent to attain the cold aura. It was all for this day.”“Fucking one-eyed bastard…” Borg’s decapitated head spoke. “You were a spy all along!”Sedrick was startled because Borg’s headless body already gathered aura and blasted it like a ray of light.Sedr

Sedrick opened his eyes. “Mm? I’m still alive?”His right half was still gone, but it was slowly recovering, but his eyes weren’t recovering. They were gone for good.He got up to his feet.The monsters of the deep were pouring out of the portal, but they didn’t go after him.“Why are they not attacking me?” Sedrick wondered. “Can they smell ‘him’ on me?” he smiled. “This is good. With Philip gone, no one can close the portal now. Even if someone shows up, I’ll stop them.” He stood there.One person showed up and pierced a giant laser sword through the portal and temporarily sealed it.Sedrick was startled. He lifted his head up and felt a familiar energy. Lily was standing on top of the hilt of Nightlaser which became a giant sword now.Lily stared down at him with mockery in her eyes, as if he did not even deserve her attention. “Sedrick… I always had a feeling that you were hiding something, but who would have thought you were a snake from the beginning?”“If you’re going to kill m
