"I really underestimated you. I apologize for that. Now, it's time to take you seriously."Bruno raised his trident toward the sky.Dark clouds gathered around him, spreading across the arena like an approaching storm. Lightning flickered within the swirling darkness, briefly illuminating the arena in harsh flashes. The air grew heavy as a suffocating pressure descended over everything.Then, from the heart of the storm, two enormous black serpents emerged.Their massive bodies coiled through the air, winding between the clouds. Their scales glistened like polished obsidian, reflecting the faint flashes of lightning with every movement. Cold, glowing eyes opened within the darkness above Bruno, fixed upon the world below.The serpents lowered their heads.Their tongues flicked between rows of jagged fangs.Hiss!"Twins of the Abyss!" Bruno's father exclaimed, his expression changing instantly. "Why does Bruno have to use his greatest trump card? I thought he had been playing with the

“Samuel!?”Lena shot to her feet.Rosalie stared at her sister in confusion.What was happening? How did Lena know Samuel? Could it be that they had known each other before? Questions crowded Rosalie’s mind faster than she could process them.“Lena, it’s been a long time,” Samuel said with a warm smile.“How did you get here, Samuel? How is this even possible?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. She knew perfectly well that crossing between the two dimensions was impossible.She had only managed to do it because of a combination of extraordinary circumstances and a powerful treasure.“I’ll explain everything to you later. First, let me deal with this,” Samuel said.Lena immediately understood what he intended to do.“No, Samuel! You’ll be killed. Bruno has lived for hundreds of years,” she warned hurriedly.“Don’t worry about me. Just watch,” he replied, his voice calm and confident.Lena didn’t know what to say.The last time she had seen Samuel, roughly three years ago, he h

Bruno sat in the seat reserved for the groom.An old woman soon walked over, examined his feet, then rubbed some oil onto them before lighting incense and chanting what sounded like some kind of mantra. Samuel couldn't make out a single word she was saying.Meanwhile, Kennedy was busy introducing Samuel to some of the people around them."This is Divine Doctor Samuel. He's young, but he's already accomplished quite a lot, I must say. I'm especially proud of him."As for his rank? He was trained by a reclusive master and hasn't received an official ranking yet."Samuel was surprised by how enthusiastically Kennedy introduced him to his friends. The man was practically acting as his spokesperson.Still, Samuel knew he needed to put on a bit of a show. So, when people approached him, he performed several diagnoses on the spot and even helped alleviate some of their ailments.In a world filled with ability users, many illnesses weren't caused by ordinary diseases at all. Powerful beasts,

"Well, for starters, you can try to cure me. If you can't, then introduce me to your master," Kennedy said.Samuel smirked. The man was still chasing after his nonexistent master."Alright, thank you for that," Samuel replied."Alright, give me your inn's address. I'll come by tomorrow, and we can go together," Kennedy proposed.Samuel gave him the address.Afterwards, he returned to the inn.The following day, a knock sounded at his door. Samuel opened it to find a short, chubby man standing outside."Who are you?" he asked."I'm the butler to Alchemist Kennedy. He sent me to invite you to accompany him to the wedding," the man explained."Oh, alright. Wait for me."Samuel stepped back inside and got dressed. Once he was ready, he headed to Bradley's room to let him know he wouldn't be around."Where are you going? I can accompany you," Bradley offered."No need. It's a very high-profile event, and I'm only able to attend because of Kennedy.""Kennedy? What Kennedy?" Bradley raised a

"Answer me," he said softly.Rosalie drew in a shaky breath, trying desperately to steady her racing heart. No matter how many times she looked at him, she still found it hard to believe someone could be that handsome. Even now, with his calm expression and effortless confidence, he made her heart pound."Yes. You will have to take her virgin yin," she finally managed to say.Samuel's brows lifted slightly."How do I take it? By having intercourse?""Yes," she answered slowly, her voice barely above a whisper."You can't be serious." Samuel stared at her in disbelief. "You want me to have intercourse with someone I've never even met? Besides, she most likely won't agree to your plan. And..." He paused, narrowing his eyes. "What makes you so confident that I can defeat this stepbrother of yours?""Because you're stronger than him!" Rosalie blurted out. "I've seen you fight. My cousin isn't some ancient monster who's lived for thousands of years. He's powerful, yes, but I'm sure you can

BrentihillBrentihill was a major city with a population of more than ten million.It was large enough to pass for a small country, yet it remained an independent city-state and one of the greatest trading hubs in the region.Its economy had been heavily strengthened by the countless forests and unique heritage sites scattered throughout its territory. Those places were filled with valuable resources, but much of their wealth remained untouched because of the dangers and complications surrounding them.Samuel stared at the enormous structures rising around him.Towering buildings stretched into the distance, their elaborate designs competing for attention. Some were carved from polished stone, while others were built with materials so rare that Samuel couldn't immediately identify them. Even the ordinary residences looked extravagant.It seemed the people of Brentihill were engaged in some unspoken competition over who could build the most impressive house."Brentihill at last." Rosal
