The Royal Pavilion was located on the northmost side of Jolkyo. It was a temple with the most beautiful view in the city, and it was not open to the public because the four princes often gathered there to discuss issues about the country.Duncan quickly got ready and left for the Royal Pavilion in his private car. He'd never even seen the student of the Nimja Lord before, so he was curious as to how Elijah managed to invite him over.He followed the designated staff into the temple and went upstairs to the meeting room on the third floor. Walking into the room, he saw three people sitting around a table. The first one was Elijah, and there was an elder with gray hair sitting next to him.To the opposite of them sat a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. When he saw their gloomy expressions, Duncan chuckled and sat down next to the guy with the scarred face, saying, "I see that Prince Desmond and Prince Solomon are already here. Didn't you say that Nimja Lord's apprentice was here a
James Skeet?Issac hurriedly went to open the door for him. James nodded in gratitude at him before entering the room."Mr. James, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Is there something I can help you with?" Isaac shut the door behind them and looked at the newcomer in surprise. How did he manage to find him so quickly?James looked around the room and walked over to Isaac before telling him about everything in a hushed tone."The Nimja Lord's apprentice? Willie Smalls?" Isaac stared at James in disbelief. That guy had to have some balls to live with that name. "Yes, Lord Willie. He's been the top-ranked nimja in the country for three years in a row. Prince Duncan told me to inform you all to leave."Isaac frowned slightly. If the princes joined forces with a supposed apprentice of the Nimja Lord, things would indeed look grim for them."Thanks for telling us, Mr. James. Please convey our gratitude to Prince Duncan. But I'm not done mourning Emily yet, so I can't leave,"
The hotel room wasn't spacious. However, there were three or four men surrounding a young woman in the middle, and the men all looked sinister.The young woman was holding a pair of sharp scissors in her hands as she looked at them in fear. There was some blood in the corner of her lips, and her face and thighs were littered with bruises. It looked like she was injured.Two guys at the farthest end had blood on their arms and thighs. They both looked extremely menacing as they were most probably hurt by the pair of scissors the girl was holding.When the door opened with a bang, everyone immediately turned to look at him, their expressions darkening. One of the men was a blond guy who yelled at Isaac, "The Black Hawks are here on business, fuck off if you know what's good for you!"Suddenly, the young woman in the middle screamed, "Sir, please save me! Sir, don't leave me here!"Hearing the young lady's screams and cries for help, Isaac took a few more steps into the room and said cold
The young lady held on to Isaac tightly as they maneuvered the dark, eerie streets at night. Their shadows cast on the ground by the dim streetlights were long and stretched out.They turned into a small lane and reached a tiny brick hut. The young lady then hurriedly knocked on the door several times, crying out, "Grandma, it's me! Grandma, open the door, please!"Creak!The door opened, revealing an old woman with a severe hunchback. When she saw the young lady's torn and tattered clothing and the bruises on her neck, the old woman immediately approached her and exclaimed, "Erica! What happened? How did your bruises all come about?"The young lady immediately burst into tears. She sobbed and hiccuped as she told her grandmother everything that had happened. She had been on her way to her friend's house for a group study when she got abducted by some bad guys on the streets. She also described how Isaac had saved her.The old woman looked at Isaac and gratefully held his hand, saying,
Madame Fleur then told Isaac that there were many mythical and legendary creatures in Rippan, such as Lady Os, Wine Ghost, Son of the River, Feline Spirit, Mountain Fairy, Eight-Headed Serpent, and more. Some were indeed mythical, but others were real spirits and creatures. It was just that regular commoners like them couldn't see these spirits. And most unfortunately, Lady Os, whom the Mortodors worshiped, did exist.In other words, those who were sacrificed to Lady Os could never be brought back to life and would only continue to die a second death in hell forever.Under the dim light in the hut, Isaac felt as if he was in a nightmare just listening to Madame Fleur describing all these things in detail. He couldn't believe his ears. What were those spirits, second deaths, and mythical creatures she was talking about again?"How can I see Emily again?" Isaac asked rather impatiently."Do you have any of her belongings with you? A handkerchief or scarf would work well."Isaac immediat
Emily kept shaking her head at what Isaac said. Her face was also sad and full of grief. However, she couldn't cry. She slowly walked up to Isaac and gently placed her hand on Isaac's face.She stared longingly into Isaac's eyes. There was a deep sadness in her eyes, but she couldn't cry.Isaac held his arms around her in a hugging position and said sorrowfully, "I believe you're still around. Emily, you have to wait for me. I'll do anything to bring you back here. The company still needs you. I still need you too."There were more things that Isaac wanted to tell her, but he was interrupted by a sudden, loud, sinister laughter from the darkness yonder. Emily's expression quickly turned into that of fright."You foolish, insignificant human! I can't believe you actually found my slave. I think you're dying to meet your maker, aren't you?" the voice said. It didn't sound human at all.Boom!The darkness suddenly started trembling. A gust of dark gas suddenly hurled itself at Isaac, thro
Willie looked at Isaac, and a condescending smirk appeared on his lips. "I was curious, wondering how powerful you were to have put my master on alert. I hope you won't disappoint me."Then, Willie drew out a three-foot sword and rushed at Isaac. Within a fraction of a second, Willie had closed the distance between them. Isaac raised his fists and threw a shadow fist at him. However, Willie ducked it immediately, disappearing into a mini tornado.He was a lot faster and more experienced than Roy. The tornado kept blasting toward Isaac, but Willie was nowhere in sight. Isaac hurriedly backed away."Haha! Are you trying to escape? You'll never escape me," Willie said, his voice coming from the right side.In the next second, a murderous slash came from behind Isaac, aiming straight for his head. Isaac heard him coming and quickly activated his Phantom Steps, narrowly avoiding the sudden slash that ended up just a quarter of an inch away from his vitals.If he'd been a split second slower
Isaac finally saw what those three black dots were. They were little winged bugs, almost like a fly but at least two or three times bigger. They were covered all over in tiny pricks and headed straight for him.Isaac quickly avoided them, worried that they were poisonous or venomous. However, the bugs just kept following him wherever he went.By this time, Willie's Lunar Strike was completed. He raised the blade with his hands and slashed at Isaac, hurling blades of blue fog that whistled loudly and eerily as they rushed toward each of Isaac's body parts.Seeing this, Isaac frowned. This man was not attacking like a regular nimja. The three bugs were still chasing him, but Willie's blades were also rushing toward him. He had to ignore one attack to properly defend himself from the other.So what should he do now?Isaac kept running and ducking, focusing his eyes on the blue fog blades that were less than 20 feet away. He gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped, forming a large spiritual
