It hadn’t been long when those words left her lips that she began to hear the faint sound of the Ingrids from above, their massive numbers so rolling through the clouds, ready to rain a barrage of attacks on them. And even though she was going to use her attribute skill—which is atomic blast—on them, she still couldn’t take them all at once. Such a technique uses a large sum of energy from one’s body, and before it gets refilled, it takes approximately five minutes.She gripped the stone tight in her hands before slipping it down into the bag hanging on her waist. At least with this stone, they could know what the men were actually about and what their plans were. But there was one problem that was getting Amanda more confused than ever: how was she going to get out of the Shadow Realm without a visible gate to the real world?“How the hell will I get myself out of this place…” The words left her mouth in a mumble, and just then, a rift tore open and Muzan stepped from the other end i

The question came so directly that Elion knew the answer, but due to how curiously he was trying to answer it, he began to stutter.“You don’t have to rush the answer, boy.” Muzan laughed a bit. “I already figured out what you want to say, and don’t worry, I will help you.”Elion didn’t try to continue what he was saying, and then Muzan continued. “Isn’t that what you want?”Elion nodded desperately. It had always been his dream to become a hunter, and hearing Muzan mention something relatable to that, he felt so curious to know more.Elion nodded his head for the second time. “It has always been my dream to become a hunter.”After Muzan heard what he said, Muzan smiled before gently speaking. “Okay, that’s great. I want to give you the chance to try.”Elion was trying his absolute best to understand what he meant exactly. Elion knew that without having a core, one couldn’t become a hunter, and he was no different; for that matter, his core wasn’t awakened. It was as good as dormant.

When it all happened that night, Muzan wanted answers, so he needed more details from the original person who had experienced it, and the only option he had was James. Because if he was to ask Elion directly, Elion wouldn’t be able to say anything because he couldn’t; it was as though his mind was already taken away by something dark.The only way Muzan could understand the level of what Elion possessed inside his body was to get the story from the other side, which is getting it from James.“Can you describe exactly how the darkness looks?” Muzan asked.James became silent for a moment, his eyes blank as he stared upwards, and just after a breath he spoke. “The darkness was thick, as though it could be gripped by the hands. I have never seen anything of such in my entire life.”And just after these words, James burst into tears, begging. “Please, please, I want to go home. I’m scared. That boy has to die, please…”At this point, James’s words made it seem as though he was already goi

The hall was massive; different students could be seen filled in every corner of the hall. Some were doing basic training, like trying to conjure lightning, and those with the fire attribute were also trying to conjure theirs, while those with brute strength as their attribute trained with dumbbells and other tools.Elion’s head was just darting around as he gazed at the students all around him, but on the other hand, they didn’t give a fuck. If any human like Elion was there, they were focused on what they were doing.Linda led Elion into another section of the hall. There, there was a register, a woman on a desk with some mechanized tools on both her sides.The woman was putting on a white uniform, and on her head was a tech-mixed headset that slightly covered her eyes, making her look like she was some sort of artificial human, but those elements are actually for detection and registering hunters into the academy.Linda took Elion to where the woman was, and before Linda could spea

After the man finished speaking, the entire hall erupted with murmurs; people’s heads drifted, trying to look for their room partners.It was so difficult that some had to keep shouting their numbers openly so those who were also assigned to that same number could be able to identify each other.Elion couldn’t even shout out his number because he had a very tiny voice. He simply stood and just watched; neither did any of his teammates shout a number he could identify that they were together.After a while longer, everyone had located their numbers, but Elion was an exception. He was alone, without any teammates. He kept wondering if he was being assigned a wrong number, and the number tag on his chest was number six.Elion gazed down at the tag and sighed before leaning his back against the wall and taking in another deep breath.“Could there be another problem…” he mumbled, and it wasn’t that long after he mumbled those words that he perceived a sweet smell, and just before gently li
