After the gigantic ball of stone crashed to the ground, Mira lost her balance and fell to the ground. Knowing fully well that whatever had attacked might come after her, she immediately rolled from her previous position.She pressed her hands to the ground and pushed herself up, leaping into the air. She landed softly on the ground, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the ball of stone.The thing was still there, unmoving. Half of it was already buried in the ground. A small crater had already been formed where it crashed, deep cracks running across the ground.What the hell is that? she asked as she took two steps backwards. She didn't know what that was, so she wasn't ready to act right now.She would have become extremely terrified, but Ezra was with her. So she took herself and calmed down. If Ezra was with her, then there was nothing that would terrify him."Ezra..." she called and turned to look at him. But the moment her eyes moved to where he had been standing, her entire body

For people who didn't cultivate, this world was relatively simple for them. Well, that was if they remained in protected cities without venturing outside the city walls.Normal human beings had nothing to worry about. They only went about their daily lives without thinking of anything apart from that. They didn't have to worry about other cultivators suddenly coming to attack them. They didn't have to worry about monsters targeting them. They didn't have to worry about several things.It was just them and their jobs which kept them going. Nothing else to worry about. Just like the birds of the air, which only worked for food without worrying about how the future would turn out.Well, it wasn't that normal human beings in this world had absolutely nothing to worry about. There were also times when other cultivators came to attack. And there were other times when monsters besieged cities.They worried about all these things, but it wasn't that significant. After all, there were cultivat

It was unknown when Ezra had appeared behind her. She had been so occupied with her thoughts that she hadn't noticed him standing behind her. Obviously, she wouldn't have noticed even though she hadn't been deep in thought.Ezra was at the intermediate level with a massive upgrade to all his abilities—especially the Ethereal Step. Right now, it seemed that he was teleporting instead of moving through space."Where did you go?!" She felt frustrated the moment she remembered everything.Ezra had abandoned her to face the monster alone. What if she had died in the process! What if she had sustained a ghastly injury?"I was merely giving you a chance to push yourself," Ezra said calmly."What do you mean by that?" she was fuming with rage. "I could have died in the process!""But you didn't die," he replied."So what?" She refused to let the matter slide. "It could have happened anyway. What would you have done if it had happened?"Ezra fell silent for some moments. Then he replied, "I wo

The gate opened slowly, allowing Ezra and Mira entrance into Bravehearts Town. The archers who had been aiming at them redirected their bows at a distance. Everyone on top of the walls ignored them instantly the moment the gatekeeper opened the gate.I'm not going to let down my guard, Ezra thought within himself as he walked forward. Mira followed behind him silently, her eyes focused on him.He was her master after all, not just her lover. So she was counting on him to be able to at least protect her in case anything went wrong...I don't want anything to go wrong, though, she thought within herself as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.The gate closed afterwards the moment they entered into the town, shutting them from the outside world.Now isolated from the outside world in a strange town he had never heard about before, Ezra couldn't help but tense a little. There were dozens of soldiers at the intermediate level perched on top of the walls. God knows how many soldiers were sca

As Ezra went to the room which he had paid for, he couldn't help thinking about Dagon. He had never heard about a grandmaster in the waking world, so this came as a shock to him.A grandmaster monster which everyone worships? he thought within himself. It's not a human being but a monster? How is this possible?He had always seen monsters as creatures that lacked intelligence. He had never thought that one would have the intelligence to accept sacrifices and be worshiped as a god. How was this possible?Why wasn't the monster killing the soldiers who came to offer it sacrifices? Why wasn't it attacking the town? What was its purpose for what it was doing?These questions ran through Ezra's mind for a long period of time. He didn't even know when Mira tapped him twice. It was on the third time that he snapped out of his thoughts."You're zoning out again, aren't you?" Mira looked worried."It's nothing, actually," Ezra replied with a forced smile. It was actually too forced to be a smi
