"That figure you saw over there wasn’t the real her. Her story might be true or a lie, but one thing I was sure of was that she was trying to convince me not to go for ulterior motives. I knew this because she tried to use a soul technique on me back then.That’s why I suddenly became uninterested.""Oh." The two-headed Minotaur was shocked.So that wasn’t even her real form. But how did he know?"Do you think she knows you saw her true form?" Kael asked."No. Also, what you saw there wasn’t light energy. It was actually darkness energy, but the illusion made it appear like light.""Mysterious. That’s why my ancestors don’t come here anymore. According to my dad, these lands are filled with mystery and death," Kael said.They continued on their way. Soon, they arrived at a huge flower patch.The flowers were strange, unnaturally tall. The entire area was filled with them, stretching endlessly in every direction."These are not ordinary flowers." Kael frowned.Samuel paused, rememberin

More of them poured out of the fog the moment Samuel killed the first.He didn’t stay in one place. He needed to flee the village if he wanted to escape the fog.The small creatures were no pushovers. Each of them carried strength comparable to someone at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm.The only good thing was that they contained far more energy. As he killed them, he devoured that energy, but even so, their sheer numbers dragged at his momentum, threatening to bog him down.Running mindlessly would only cost him the chance to devour more energy.The Primordial Devouring Art surged at its peak as he cut through creature after creature, his blade carving ruthless paths through flesh and bone, yet they kept coming, an unending tide spilling from the mist.A creature loomed out of the fog.Samuel sensed it instantly and activated Divine Vision.What emerged had the lower body of a spider, eight long legs scraping faintly against the ground, each step dragging out a chilling r

They sank their teeth into her flesh and devoured her alive.“Vile.” Samuel raised his hand and unleashed a surge of flames. Fire roared outward, swallowing them whole as their bodies ignited. Their screams tore through the air, but unlike before, their movements fell apart completely.Some lunged at him in blind frenzy, others turned to flee, and most staggered in chaotic confusion, crashing into one another as the flames consumed them.Samuel stepped forward instead of retreating. His figure blurred as he closed the distance, weaving through the chaos. One creature leapt at him, jaws wide. He sidestepped at the last instant, seized its skull, and slammed it into the ground with crushing force before finishing it with a burst of fire at point-blank range.Another clawed toward his back. He twisted, drove his elbow into its throat, and followed with a sharp arc of flame that cleaved through its body.By the time the fire died down, nothing remained but charred corpses and drifting ash

The group left the cave and walked for several more hours. They were now close to the place the map led to. Along the way, they encountered a group ahead, clearly heading in the same direction.They slowed, then stopped."Who are you?" a tall, handsome man asked as he stepped forward, dressed in an expensive purple robe.The people ahead were clearly divided into factions. On one side stood six beauties dressed in white, their presence calm and composed.On the other side were men clad in robes of different colors. Subtle fluctuations of mana rippled around them, making it clear they were all mages.Another group stood apart. Every member exuded a cold, demonic aura that seemed to chill the air itself. Leading them was a woman in a pink dress, a sharp contrast to the oppressive presence she radiated.For some reason, she reminded them strongly of the woman who had saved them before. The aura was similar, yet hers was more refined, far more powerful.Lastly stood the group led by the t

Samuel traveled for two hours. He knew he was getting closer.Suddenly, he stopped and closed his eyes. Something wasn’t right.In the next instant, he vanished.A mass of black energy slammed into the spot where he had stood moments before. Everything caught within it withered and died, life snuffed out in a single breath.Samuel inhaled sharply as he reappeared at a distance.A woman in a dark gown emerged, her presence suffocating. Wherever her feet touched, black energy bled outward like a creeping plague, devouring the ground in widening rings.“I knew you would come for me,” Samuel said with a sigh.She paused.“You remember me?” she asked.“Yes. The so-called saintess who appeared at that Soul Hall."“Ha, to think I had underestimated you. Nobody has ever been able to see through me before.” She frowned."Tell me, what do you want?” Samuel asked boredly.“Your soul,” she replied.“Oh, nice. But there were plenty of souls in that hall. You could have taken as many as you wanted

He continued along the same route Kael must have taken. He could still sense the connection, enough to estimate the general direction. But instead of moving in a straight line, he veered off, intending to hunt fiend beasts along the way.*******Carson slipped past the lightning with sharp precision and surged forward, sword in hand. Mana roared through his body, flooding into the blade as he swung with full force.Gareth met the strike head-on. Their swords collided in a violent clash, the impact erupting into a shockwave that blasted both of them backward.Garreth steadied himself and looked up in shock. Not just him.Sophia, Dianne, Mobius, and the others behind them were equally stunned.“He can actually clash directly with Gareth. Does that mean he’s a seventh-level Grandmaster magus too?” a tall, handsome young man from the Demon Sect asked, leaning slightly toward Sophia.“Yes, you’re right, Conrad. It seems Ravencrest has produced another super genius, yet he was never mention

Samuel lay down, resting calmly instead of kneeling in a cultivation posture as he normally did.He had killed many fiend beasts by now and had reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, already nearing the eighth. With just a small push, he would break through.He rose to his feet at last, taking out a beast core and chewing it like a snack."You are very powerful," someone said suddenly."I was wondering how long you planned to hide," Samuel replied casually as he walked toward the fiend beast he had used to set traps.A slight frown formed on his face. The carcass was no longer fresh and was no longer ideal for reuse. It wouldn’t be able to attract powerful beasts anymore. Without hesitation, he stored it away and moved toward the massive giant ape he had just killed."You knew I was here all along?"He ignored the voice. Taking out a prepared mixture, he began rubbing it across the ape’s enormous body, spreading it carefully along the thick fur and exposed flesh."Is that

“We only want the heart and the blood, as well as the scales for armor. I can see you’re more interested in the core, so if we kill it, I’ll give you the core and some of the blood. If you’re interested in the skin too, we can give you that as well, but the heart must be taken by us,” Daguni stated.“Wait. Are you trying to say you’ll only give me parts of the spoils?” Samuel frowned.They had clearly said part of the blood, and he had even suggested giving him the skin. It sounded more like they intended to take everything and hand him scraps if he cared enough.“Enhm… sorry, that came out wrong. I misspoke. We’ll take the heart, you take the core, and we divide the rest equally,” Daguni corrected himself quickly.“Alright. I agree. Where is it, though? If it’s far, I won’t be able to follow you.”“Surely not. It’ll take twenty to thirty minutes depending on your speed. It takes us twenty,” he replied.“Alright. Let’s go already,” Samuel said.“Alright.”The two moved, their figures

A phantom dragon coiled around his arm, its jaws thrown wide in a silent roar as the energy compressed tighter and tighter.Then it collapsed.All that power folded inward and converged into a single, devastating punch.BOOM!His fist drove straight into the tiger’s ribs.The impact detonated like thunder, a shockwave ripping through the air.He struck the exact point where the tiger was already injured.The tiger howled, its massive body convulsing from the precise blow.Samuel had done it on purpose.Through his Divine Vision, he saw every damaged section beneath its hide with perfect clarity, and he carved into those weaknesses without hesitation.“You ant!”The tiger lashed out in fury.Its paw tore forward again, ripping through the air.Samuel vanished sideways, his body slipping past the strike by a hair’s breadth.But the paw didn’t stop.It kept going.Daguni barely raised his spear in time before the massive limb crashed into him.BOOM!The force launched him like a snapped

Daguni paused, weighing the situation carefully. He and his sister were clearly no match for the tiger. After being battered repeatedly, he had already sustained severe internal injuries, and if the fight continued, it would only worsen. Perhaps this was the better way to handle it.Only Samuel could tell that Kazukama was already nearing his end. But he had other plans for him and had no intention of revealing it.“Daguni…”“No, let’s allow him,” Daguni said softly to his sister. “I must admit, after that last attack, I don’t think I can continue.”Samuel sent a mental message to Daguni.“They want assurance you won’t betray them. I’m going to place my spiritual imprint on you so we can track you if you try to feed us false information and run.”“Me, Kazukama, run away? Fine. It’s just a spiritual imprint. As long as it’s not a master-slave beast contract, go ahead,” Kazukama replied through spiritual communication.“Listen, I’m placing a spiritual imprint on it. If it tries to trick
