2026-10-15 06:01:48Carl had actually become an advocate for the Overlord of the Demons.
While this probably meant that it would be even harder for Carl to free himself from the control of a higher being, Bryant also had to admit that Carl had managed to basically turn the tables on him. He could no longer control the young man, and Carl could use the authority and might of the Overlord of the Demons to overpower him.Carl grinned at Bryant and commanded the lich, “Bryant, take me back to the cas

Pudding's actions instantly put Carl on high alert. He looked up at the ceiling only for a pink powder to come floating down from above as a very faint fragrance filled the room.Carl felt a heaviness in his head. This pink powder was a sedative.Someone was actually trying to use his area of expertise against himself? "How foolish," thought Carl.Before Carl could do anything, Pudding had already opened its mouth to swallow all the pink powder in the air.Hervor was surprised. She had no idea that Pudding was capable of doing something like that."Who's up there?" Hervor had a fierce glint in her eye as she pointed her sword toward the ceiling.Carl was also ready to fight, while Pudding slithered to his shoulder similarly ready for a fight.To their surprise, there was no response from the ceiling at all. All of a sudden, several drops of liquid dripped down from above and Carl could tell from the smell that it was blood. His eyes widened in shoc

Carl and Hervor decided to find a place to stay for the night, but the first inn they found was already full. The owner looked like he was in a difficult position as he said, "Dear customers, please understand, it's not that we don't want to take you in, we really have no more rooms."Carl could sense the exasperation in the owner's voice and asked, "Is something big happening?"The owner glanced at Carl, then explained, "Sir, don't you know that His Majesty is about to hold an apothecary competition? The competition is happening very soon and a few thousand apothecaries from all over the world have come. All the inns within the city are full."Carl's eyes widened in shock. "A few thousand? Why have so many come?""Of course it's because the prizes are really attractive," said the owner with an envious look on his face. "I heard that the top ten will receive a really generous cash prize, and the top five will become royal apothecaries who will serve the king and

Several months had passed since Carl had fallen into the river at Fallen Eagle Cliff, got himself washed down into Philigia and then moved to the Sakir Kingdom. During this time, he had been very worried about Melissa.When he heard from Dennis that the young countess was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. After casually asking about a few more things, he dismissed Dennis as the merchants continued on their way.A guard came up to Carl and asked, "Sir, we've captured several pirates. What do you want to do with them?""Feed them to the sharks," said Carl without hesitation. He had no sympathy for these pirates."Yes, sir!" The guard ran off to carry out his orders.After Carl returned to the ship, Hervor stared at him very strangely. She stared at him so hard that the young man felt all his hair stand on end. When she still did not explain why she was staring at him this way, he sighed and said, "Hervor, are you upset that I decided to put the pir

Even though the cabin was small and it was difficult for Carl to swing his sword properly, he still leaped in anyway, running after the pirates who ran frantically away from him.As he attacked the pirates, he noticed that the pirates’ fear of him was helping to nourish the Seed of a Demon inside his head.He was only making use of his swordsmanship and he could already make them so fearful of him. This was a pleasant surprise.Of course, this was possible mostly because these pirates were really poor at fighting.Screams of pain filled the air and blood sprayed in all directions. The pirates saw Carl as a demon and they were terrified of him.Carl could sense very clearly that the Seed of a Demon inside his head was glowing brightly and his mental strength had become a little stronger. Just then, he suddenly sensed danger coming and moved to one side at the last minute. A large ax flew just millimeters away from his cheek.His face paled and he b

Before the merchant ship left, Nia tried to convince Carl and Hervor to stay one last time, “Carl, Hervor, we’re going to set off tomorrow, so I hope both of you can stay and help me…”“Nia, I’m really sorry,” Carl refused her politely. “We’re just ordinary adventurers and we don’t know anything about fighting in an army.”Nia knew that Carl was just making up excuses to turn her down nicely, so she sighed quietly, then smiled at them. “Since that’s the case… Carl, I hope that you have a safe journey all the way back to Toodadis! The Sakir Kingdom will always welcome you two!”“Thank you!” Carl nodded and stood with Hervor on the deck as they waved at Nia and the rest. “Goodbye!”The ship let its sails down and cruised down the canal, slowly disappearing out of sight.Nia watched as the ship became nothing but a black dot in the distance and mu

Carl automatically filtered out the threats from Bryant. After he watched the lich turn into a cloud of gray mist and disappear, he could not help but start cheering for his freedom.It had been nearly four months since he first met the lich in Philigia, and he had now followed him over thousands of miles. The lich had felt like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head and it had been so hard for him to eat and sleep in peace. Now that this lurking danger was gone, he felt so much more at ease.After some time, Carl finally calmed down and pulled himself together. He looked around at all the unconscious people on the deck and began the process of getting everything back in place. First, he woke Julia and Nia up, then they tried to save any of the guards who were still alive after being frozen for so long.During this time, the river had become unfrozen again, so the rushing waters moved the ship along.Julia got Nia to talk to the guards to boost their morale
