The moon was nearly at its highest point in the sky, casting its pale light over Dual Horns Peak City. Most of the city’s residents carried on with their usual nightly routines, but in one part of the city, there was an unusual movement. Silhouettes darted through the streets, heading swiftly toward a long-abandoned area, devoid of activity.Dozens of figures moved using advanced movement techniques that silenced their footsteps, making them as quiet as owls in flight. Despite their numbers and the occasional passerby, they remained undetected as they glided through the city.They continued running until they reached the outskirts of an abandoned building, where another figure was already waiting for them."How is it? Any movement?" the newcomer asked."No, still nothing, sir. They’re holed up inside that building, like turtles in their shells," the other figure replied."Good, now we only need to take the—" he wants to say ’the child’ when he saw someone get out from the abandoned ho

“Hello, Babe,” Richard said placing the phone on his left ear while he held on to the blue car remote with his right hand.“Oh, you are done? I would have been out of the mall but it seems like there is a rough man here trying to rub shoulders with me.” Richard said to the caller at the other end of the line.“Oh don’t worry about that babe. I will handle him.”“Ok. Bye.” Richard said again, then he ended the call and put the phone back into his pocket.He turned towards Marcus who was still standing firmly on his decision not to let Betty attend to Richard before him.“You really are making a huge mistake by being stubborn. It can only land you in serious trouble.” Richard said to Marcus glaring his eyes at him in intense disdain but Marcus didn’t budge.Seeing that the man standing at a close distance beside him seemed very unperturbed about the words that he spoke, he turned to Betty with an angry face.“How long have you been working here?” He asked adjusting his clothes as thou

Aldrian took out the bow and an arrow, the aura from the artifact spreading as though it demanded recognition from everyone around. He had decided to pull out the divine artifact given to him by Emperor Thonias, his legacy weapon, the Earth Shattering Bow, along with the Wind Slasher Arrow.This time, he needed to end the beast quickly, or the destruction it would cause would be immense. The Black Rock Snake was one of the most venomous creatures on the continent, but now that it had reached the emperor stage, it could turn entire regions into a no man’s land, rendering the land barren and uninhabitable, filled with its deadly venom and poison.He didn’t want to rely on a divine artifact like the Earth Shattering Bow, but he had no choice. If only he had a Heaven-grade sword, then he could use Slash of the End. He couldn’t unleash the full power of the Slash of the End with just sword shaped energy. With that in mind, he finally resolved to use the divine artifact, though he wasn’t su

After the collapse of the western peak and the tremors ceased, a group of silhouette continued their movement. They paused briefly when they saw a golden light descending from the sky just before the western peak was destroyed. They wondered what it could be, but with their own mission in mind, they pressed on.When they arrived at the Yu family manor, the first thing they noticed were the corpses scattered around the manor. They were stunned, unsure of what to make of the situation. They had expected a battle upon arrival, but instead found only the dead.Looking more closely at the corpses, they noticed the same thing."They’re emitting devil energy!" one of them exclaimed.Many were shocked by this discovery, and they immediately raised their guard, staying alert to their surroundings. Moving slowly and undetected, they used their movement techniques to inch closer to the front of the manor. Just as they were preparing to barge in, they stopped, looking on the man emerging from the

Arin looked into Aldrian’s eyes, waiting for his answer. Aldrian also met her gaze."To be honest, I’m the type who will kill if there’s no advantage to keeping enemies alive—especially if those enemies are devils. If it weren’t for the fact that I need the demon territory’s cooperation for the future, I would’ve already killed most of the City Lord’s Manor and the devils in this city, not just the Black Rock Snake."Arin and Vanisa heard Aldrian’s answer, and suddenly something clicked in their minds. Kill not only the Black Rock Snake? Did he just admit that he was the one who destroyed the entire western peak, causing the city to lose its Dual Horns? As they reached this conclusion, their eyes widened, realizing they were sitting in front of an ultimate expert.To collapse an entire mountain, 15 kilometers high, leaving only a pile of rocks and dirt... He’d need to be at least at the Emperor stage to achieve that. But considering they sensed the giant Black Rock Snake at the mid-Em
