The Owner's eyes glint at Lucian's group. Numerous years pass and not once that he stopped searching for the Jewel. And the time that he could almost grasp it, taste the sweet nectar of eternal youth, a beast and another group hindered his way.The Owner was about to return to gather some troops, and that was when Lucian's group appeared. The Owner was afraid that if he left, Lucian and the others would acquire the Jewel first, and that was when he formulated a plan.At first glance, the Owner was sure that Lucian's group was strong. Ryu in their group was his luck at work, and he knew that the Princess was not far. She might be one of those women. She might have changed her appearance. And he was right. He used the debt to make Lucian and the orders do his bedding. He just needed Rank-A's to hold the Rank-S beast, and he would use his trump card to seal the beast even if it was just for a few hours.Lucian and the other's timing was impeccable!The Owner couldn't help a smile twisti

"Is this form comfortable for you now?" Tethyt asked.Ryu took a step back. He was still on guard. "Who are you?"Tethyt's lips tugged at the corner in a smile. "As I said. My name is Tethyt, one of the seven Gods that used to rule Septverden thousands of years ago.""God?" Ryu didn't know of them. Ferris didn't also bring that topic before, so he was unfamiliar with them.But one thing was for sure. .. the strength between them couldn't be compared.Tethyt swept Ryu with her eyes as she circled him. "We've been waiting for you for years now, but it seemed that. .. you are still too early."In Tethyt's eyes, pentagrams appeared, mirroring the pentagrams inside Ryu's body. "You are not ready. "Tethyt blinked, and the pentagrams disappeared from her irises. "Nonetheless, faith had brought you to me, and I will take it as a sign.""You spoke like you know me." Tethyt smiled. "Much so. .. at least more than you know yourself."A surge of happiness overcame Ryu, and he exclaimed, "Then y

"Give me all the items that halfbreed acquired in this cave and considered this Seal of Promise fulfilled.".. ... .Cecily and the others looked at each other and then focused their eyes on Ryu."That is the only item I acquired," Ryu said without batting an eyelid.".. ." The Owner snapped his fan. "Then you leave me no choice."The parchment of paper glowed brightly as the Owner said, "As the holder of this Seal, I demand that the debt be paid with all the items that Cecily's servant, Ryu, acquired in this cave."The map in Cecily's hand disappeared, and before anyone knew what was going on, the map emerged in the Owners palms, and with it, the Seal of Promise broke into tiny particles.".. ."".. ."Silence descended, thick and heavy, for it was already a minute and only the map appeared before the Owner. That meant that Ryu wasn't lying.The cave didn't contain the Lost Jewel of Tethyt. It only had an old useless piece of map that was not even complete!Argh! The Owner gnashed

The massive claws couldn't be stopped, and it was too late to evade.Lucian gritted his teeth. "Raphael"With the burst of golden light, Raphael appeared with its four wings and ethereal face. Everyone didn't have time to be shocked when a colossal pentagram appeared before Raphael.A blazing halo surrounded his head and flared of godly powers flickered around him. With his arms outstretched towards the approaching threat, bolts of divine rage flashed forth and brought damnation onto the corrupt.[Angelic Chorus]As the golden strike met against the dark claws, a massive explosion caused the waters to hallow.Gagh!Everyone on the boat held on tight as the force from the explosion rocked them away. It was blinding for a whole minute before it ceased.The ominous skeleton-like claws vanished at Raphael's might, but Raphael's mana was almost depleted in exchange. Raphael frowned. He didn't expect that he would be forced to use one of his devastating spells just to counter that ominous

"What are you doing?!"Ryu was about to attack Rosa when Cecily stopped him.Rosa slanted her hips and faced Ryu without an ounce of fear at Ryu's feral face."You're just a servant. What we do to you is none of your business."Veins crawled on Ryu's skin, and anger boiled in the pit of his stomach, rising and rising as he looked at the smug smile on Rosa's face. The room turned oppressive, and Ryu's face twisted in menace. His claws flexed, and his canines barged."Give.Her.Back.""H-hoi. . ." Kai was afraid that Ryu would leap and attack Rosa. He didn't care about Rosa, but if she died, then darling Fifi would be. . .Rosa licked her lips. "Make me."Grr! Ryu let out a wild growl, and she was closed to wring Rosa's neck with his claws when Cecily appeared before him."Stop!""Gurgh!" Ryu couldn't move. The seal was fake, and Cecily didn't have any hold on him anymore, but the mate bond prevented him from hurting her.Rosa laughed. "That's right. Be an obedient little pup. That's t
