Several days passed peacefully at Albert’s residence. There were no more disturbances from the assassins-for-hire or from any parties intending to trouble his women. It was as if the storm that had previously shaken the State of Anarka had finally begun to subside.Under the new government, the State of Anarka was slowly showing signs of stability. The new officials had been formally inaugurated, while the old institutions that had long been hated by the people—such as the police, the prosecutor’s office, and various other corrupt institutions—had been dissolved without a trace.In their place, new institutions were established with a much clearer vision: to protect and serve the people.Now, in Anarka, there was no longer a police institution. In its place stood a Law Enforcement Agency that operated entirely in the public interest. The House of Representatives had also been officially abolished, since its existence had long been considered nothing more than a parasite draining the s

When Eliot came to report, Albert was sitting calmly in the study of Rose Villa. The midday sunlight streamed through the large window behind him, casting a faint sheen over the elegant black desk covered with digital files.His fingers moved leisurely across the tablet as he signed off on various important documents that kept arriving by email.An aura of authority seemed to radiate from him.“Sir... sorry to disturb your time,” Eliot said respectfully, kneeling.Without taking his eyes off the tablet screen, Albert asked flatly, “Is there any important information?”“No, Sir. I want to show you something.” Eliot quickly stood up and approached.Carefully, he placed several small metal fragments on Albert’s desk. The pieces looked strange, mixed with synthetic flesh and shattered mechanical components.Albert’s hand stopped moving. His gaze narrowed as he looked at the objects.[Sir, based on my data analysis,

Surrounded by dozens of giant creatures, Eliot did not flinch in the slightest. His gaze remained cold and sharp, as sharp as the blade of the dagger that had accompanied him through countless slaughterfields.He had received an order from his master. And a guard would never allow himself to fail in carrying out a duty.“I... will not disappoint Lord Yanaga this time,” Eliot murmured inwardly with burning determination.At once, his body moved. With extraordinary speed, Eliot hurled two scrolls into the air.His hands immediately formed seal after seal in movements so fast they left only a faint afterimage.The aura around him began to churn violently.“Combined Technique... Fire Storm!”Eliot’s chest suddenly swelled before he spewed a powerful gale from his mouth.Whooosh!!At the same time, one of the scrolls unleashed a sea of thick black oil, while the other sprayed bursts of flame.Blaaarr!!The fire instantly caught the oil and turned into a massive wave of flames. Driven by El

The giant palm continued to descend from the sky with a pressure that could make space tremble violently.The Shadow Guard could only stand frozen. His body could not be moved at all under the control of Leiva's Illusion World.Cold sweat soaked his face, but his eyes still showed no fear. He only gritted his teeth while staring at the giant palm drawing closer, like a divine punishment descending from the sky.However, just before the attack struck. “Merge of Illusion Worlds!” An old but authoritative voice suddenly echoed throughout the illusion dimension.BRRRAAAK!Leiva's Illusion World suddenly trembled violently. The giant golden statue that was about to destroy the Shadow Guard was suddenly knocked backward, as if struck by an invisible force.Leiva immediately frowned. He could sense something impossible happening.The space inside his Illusion World suddenly expanded forcibly, as if another dimension was crashing into it and forcing its existence inside.“What is this...?” Hi

Albert truly did not expect this. A martial artist at the early stage of level ten—a being who should have been able to dominate the battlefield—was instead butchered by a strange creature he suspected was the result of genetic crossbreeding.On the other side, another Shadow Guard lay sprawled on the ground with a shoulder hole the size of a baby’s arm. Blood continued to gush heavily from the horrific wound, proof that he would have nearly died if he had been a split second slower in dodging.Albert’s gaze turned cold.Swish!In the blink of an eye, his body vanished from where he stood and reappeared directly behind the creature.However, the monster’s reflexes far exceeded his expectations. The moment it released its grip on the Shadow Guard’s body, it immediately dodged with a wild movement.Swoosh!Thud! Thud!Two arms resembling giant drills shot toward Albert, spinning rapidly while producing a horrifying sound that tore through the air.But Albert merely tilted his body calml
