She had assumed that because such behavior was common at the pub. She had received plenty of unwanted advances from men who tried to kiss her simply because they found her beautiful. She was well aware of her appearance, which had made her especially guarded whenever someone approached her that way."Are you afraid your boss will scold you for offending a customer? Nonsense. I have a better job for you. Not on my watch will I allow this pervert to get away with it!"She tightened her grip on Samuel's cloak."Apologize to her, pervert!"The commotion drew everyone's attention.For a few more seconds, the music continued, but the conversations around them gradually died down. Heads turned, cups stopped halfway to mouths, and soon countless eyes were fixed on Samuel.He decided it was better to leave and return later.The bartender girl felt a pang of guilt. If the cloaked man had truly wanted to kiss her, he should not have tried to explain himself after she accused him. He should have

Now no one knew that he had come here or where he was going.Samuel stretched out his hand, and golden flames sprang to life in his palm. He directed them toward the corpses, and fire immediately engulfed them. The flames swallowed everything—the bodies, weapons, bloodstains, and every other trace the battle had left behind.He burned the drawing as well.By the time the flames died down, nothing remained to suggest that Samuel had ever been there.With the cleanup finished, he pulled on a cloak that covered his entire body. It was an artifact, one that concealed his face even from those using perception.It was time to leave before the city guards arrived.Just as he turned to go, a figure suddenly appeared.Samuel's eyes narrowed.The man had probably come down the same stairs the short man had used earlier, which meant he was most likely one of them.Yet there was no trace of the dark Urgaba aura around him.Samuel wasn't surprised.Of everyone who had been there, only the leader h

Bradley, go!" Samuel shouted, throwing a small bag at him. He had already communicated with him using spiritual energy.Bradley reacted instantly, climbing onto the High Beast.The beast spread its wings and shot into the sky."Get him!" Weissman shouted.Three people immediately broke away from the group and chased after Bradley.Samuel simply raised his hand.An armored figure appeared beside him, its body gleaming beneath the sunlight. Its armor completely concealed its form, leaving not even its face visible.Before the three could get far, the armored figure dashed after them.A huge iron chain was gripped tightly in its hand, with a heavy iron ball attached to the end.The armored figure swung the chain with terrifying force.The chain tore through the air and wrapped tightly around the three people. Their expressions changed instantly as they struggled against the crushing restraint.With another powerful swing, the armored figure yanked them backward and sent them crashing int

Samuel looked at his cage mate. Only the two of them were inside the cage.She slowly raised her head and looked at him, curiosity flickering across her face.Samuel frowned. She looked very familiar. Had he seen her before? No way. He didn't know many people in this dimension."Are you from Crimson Vale?" he asked.Crimson Vale was where he knew the most people, after all."What?" She blinked in confusion.Samuel studied her face more closely. Now that he could see her clearly, he finally remembered where he had seen someone who looked like her. What was her name again?Lena.She was one of the first people he had met in this world.This lady bore a striking resemblance to her, but there were still a few differences. The shape of her eyes was slightly different, and even the way she carried herself wasn't quite the same. If he didn't know better, he could have easily mistaken them for twins.But that was completely impossible. They were from different dimensions."Sorry, I mistook yo

Samuel drew his sword."I don't know, but I was thinking I'm the one who should be asking the questions," he said, tightening his grip around the hilt."Ha, hahaha! You amaze me, little human. Where did you get that courage from? You couldn't even do anything when we captured you!" Omos laughed."Well, you ganged up on me," Samuel replied."All right, then. You have nothing to worry about now. I've told my hunters not to come to this area, no matter what. I'll take care of whoever dares to come here myself.""Really?"Samuel's eyes lit up.If the other hunters stayed away, his chances of surviving this encounter would increase considerably.Omos suddenly dashed forward without warning.Samuel reacted instantly. He grabbed Rosalie and hurled her toward the spring with all his strength."Samuel!"Her startled cry barely left her lips before Omos came within striking distance.The giant abruptly halted, his enormous feet scraping against the rocky ground as he tried to stop his momentum.
