"You trust us?" Edward had asked with great curiosity.

Desmond, however, had tilted his head and said, "Why wouldn't I? My aunt trusts us, doesn't she?" Then he scratched his head and continued talking:

"Look. My aunt frankly hates me. The Moon family is a place where everything works differently. It's not like the imperial family, where everyone loves each other and continues to live together. Living in the Moon family is everything. Why do you think my aunt left? Her thoughts were different, her behaviour and needs, her desire to live was heading in a different direction, and she chose to leave rather than engage in a blood feud with my father."

With these words, Edward didn't know what to say; frankly, like the others, he couldn't understand why Desmond had uttered them.

"Still, you can be sure, Mr Grey," said Desmond. Everyone looking at him could see the deadness in his eyes. It was chilling.

"I'd rather trust someone like my aunt, who looks me in the face and tells me she hates

  • Juliet

    When Desmond sat down next to the woman, he was able to see her face clearly.The young man's eyes widened, his mouth hanging open. The woman... was very beautiful.Desmond realised that this woman was perhaps not as beautiful as a goddess, but he could wholeheartedly accept that she was perhaps the most beautiful woman he had ever seen on earth.When Desmond sat down next to the woman, she didn't say a word. It was as if she were waiting for Desmond to speak first.Although the young man didn't realise it, he was actually getting tired of waiting. After all, he wanted to take the last piece of the set and leave as soon as possible.That was precisely why he paused for a few seconds and, looking at one of the statues around him, asked this question:"You... I mean, the Sages, did you truly ascend to the sacred realm? As gods and goddesses."At Desmond's question, a sudden smile appeared on Juliet's face, and she replied in a calm tone, "Yes." Then, correcting herself, she added, "Thou

  • The Soul Of A Sage

    The young man had talked with Dawn for a while longer. To be perfectly honest, he hadn't felt this happy and at ease in a long time.Dawn hadn't joined Desmond's hunting party because of the class difference and the fact that she was fighting alongside another group on the upper levels of the Seraphim Academy dungeon, but she was still a noble.So, of course, he had found a time when he could be friends with Desmond, and truth be told, he was one of the few nobles who didn't want anything from Desmond.Dawn wasn't that high-ranking a noble. She was the daughter of a Viscount, but she was a strong girl with potential.Knowing all this, Desmond had managed to talk to Dawn as comfortably as he wanted. Still, the young girl had come here every other day and had told Desmond that she now had to go to the dungeon.The young man had given Dawn a few dozen healing potions just in case, and the young girl had torn herself apart to refuse these potions.Nevertheless, Dawn's group was large, and

  • Trying Not To Lose

    “DONG!!!!”It was like a bell, a massive bell.Desmond could feel his entire body shaking from the sound, yet despite all this, his feet remained firmly planted on the ground, and he was able to hold himself steady.The attack was still ongoing, a single, unending assault, like an unrelenting beam of light.Even though Desmond could see that the qi barrier was holding up completely, he could tell that some parts were starting to crack due to the barrier's low quality.A cracked barrier could only be repaired if it was made with holy power, meaning Desmond couldn't strengthen the barrier by using extra qi.Still, perhaps, just perhaps, he could pull one hand away from the barrier he had just created and manage to form another qi barrier.The barrier he had already erected was nearly three metres outside the six-metre diameter circle where the test area was located. So, if Desmond acted quickly enough, he might be able to avoid the attack, or rather, not just weakly block it, but actual

  • Sucking All The Mana

    When Desmond was ready, he stepped onto the cross right in the middle of the six-metre-wide circle and then began to wait.He knew very well that the dungeon was alive, and nothing would start until he was ready.That's why each trial began with him taking the first step.Now, he was ready.For a while, he had worked nonstop, or rather, while gathering his thoughts, he had browsed his inventory and consumed a few of the meals he had purchased from the system shop for the dungeon.Now, he would do nothing but try to pass the test.The test had already begun.The young man suddenly became aware of successive energies approaching him. In just seconds, he drew something in the rune language with his hand. Since he wasn't very good at barrier spells, he wanted to use the old methods, namely drawing a barrier with runes.He succeeded.The attack hit the barrier he had drawn and scattered. Still, this strange attack, approaching at an incredible speed and hitting the barrier, had destroyed
