In the meantime, the Wolfires were stunned to discover Darryl was still alive. 'This human is not afraid of fire...'Darryl smiled when he knew the Wolfires were stunned by him. He spoke to the Wolfire leader in their language. "You've misunderstood me. I'm not your enemy. I'm your friend."The Wolfires were even more surprised. 'This…this human can speak our language?'Meanwhile, Samara was still in hiding. Her exquisite face turned curious when she heard Darryl speak in a language she did not understand.'What is he saying? I don't understand anything he said,' she thought.Finally, the Wolfire leader reacted and howled. It looked at Darryl with a complex expression. "Who are you? How can you speak our language? And why are you not afraid of fire?"It continued to stay vigilant. Concurrently, the rest of the Wolfires glared at Darryl with hostility.Darryl took a deep breath and said, "I'm not a barbarian. I'm just here to check out what happened."The Wolfire leader examined
"That general's name is Lukas, and he has full control of the palace. He's got over a hundred thousand men under him. I know you have quite a number of men on your end too, but how sure are you of winning if a fight really broke out?"As the final word rang through the air, Darryl stared at the wolf leader.The wolf leader gave it some thought, staring intently at Darryl. "What do you mean by that? Are you insinuating that I swallow my anger?"Darryl shook his head. "Absolutely not. Taking down someone like Lukas will require extreme methods, and you'll do exactly as I say if you believe me…"Darryl then spent the next two minutes describing his plan in great detail.The wolf leader listened quietly, not interrupting Darryl until he was done."Why are you helping us, though?"Darryl smiled lightly in response. "I'm helping you because of the Barbarian princess, Yanna. She's unlike Lukas and the rest. She's a kind lady with a heart of gold…"Following that, Darryl described Prin
Lukas' expression was completely solemn as he spoke.Despite controlling the entire palace, Lukas did not want to make a show by teaming up with a group of assassins. It could affect his reputation or even his chances of getting the crown."Yes, General!"The guard responded before striding out of the main hall quickly.…Half an hour later, Lukas sat on the chair in the study, meditating to himself.Creak!The door was pushed open slightly, and the guard stood at the door. "He's here, General!" Following that, the guard retreated at top speed.Following that, a figure strode in.He was not very tall, clad in black robes, and sporting a black straw hat. His face was covered by a copper mask, his footsteps so light they were silent despite the terrifying aura that radiated off him.It was the leader of the Foggy Sect—Chain Garner.Upon entering the study, Chain smiled and nodded at Lukas as he greeted him. "General!"Ho ho…Lukas looked him up and down with an arrogant expr
Chain frowned at the words, pondering briefly before speaking. "Darryl Darby? The man that helped King Astro?"The Foggy Sect had ears everywhere, and it was no surprise that Chain knew who Darryl was.'Aha!'Lukas' eyes lit up, and he stared at Chain meaningfully before smiling. "Not bad. Yes, that's him. I hope you don't let me down this time, Chain."Chain nodded silently. "You can await the good news, General."As the words rang through the air, Chain turned to leave.Just as he left, Lukas' expression darkened all at once. The Foggy Sect was a powerful force with men all across the wandering world, and their main altar was here. Honestly, they posed as a pretty big threat.Lukas had made up his mind. Once he became emperor, he would wipe the Foggy Sect from existence.…It was dark by the time Darryl and Samara had made it back to their chambers.Princess Yanna was overwhelmed at the sight of Darryl and Samara returning as she rushed forwards to greet them. "Sister Samar
Whew!The guards took a deep breath at the sight before them, flaring up in anger at once."How dare you!""Treating these grounds like your backyard, coming and going as you please? We'll have your heads!"As they roared out in anger, the guards drew their long swords and rushed forwards as a fierce battle broke out between them and the assassins. The guards figured that they had strength in numbers, and it would be more than easy for them to take down a few assassins.Unfortunately, they were sorely mistaken.Amidst the battle, all that could be seen were the assassins weaving through the crowd like lightning bolts as they exploded blow after blow. Within just ten seconds, they had taken down almost thirty guards.'F*ck!'Darryl was shocked by the sight, his heart filled with worry.It was obvious that whoever wanted to kill the princess had not given up after failing the first time, and the guards were no match for those powerful assassins.On top of that, Darryl's powers
Amidst their cries, the assassins exploded into the air as they chased after Darryl.They did not know that Darryl was with a mere servant, and the real Princess Yanna was still hiding in the chambers.Darryl took a deep breath at the sight of the oncoming assassins, feeling a strange excitement in his chest.Despite being quite strong, the assassins were not really the smartest. A simple switcheroo had fooled them.The servant alongside Darryl looked as if she was about to pass out, her voice trembling as she spoke. "They're here, they're here! What should we do?"As she spoke, the servant's knees were wobbling so hard she could barely walk.Darryl spoke in a comforting tone. "Don't worry! You'll continue pretending to be the princess, and I promise things will be alright for you."As the words rang through the air, the pair reached one of the rooms at the back. Darryl did not hesitate before he shoved the door open and dashed in.As they entered the room, Darryl instructed th
'Damn it!'The assassins lit a fire. They were going to be burned alive.The fire in the room was getting bigger, the smoke was getting denser, and the servant could not breathe well. On top of that, she was too nervous. In the end, she saw black and passed out.Darryl quickly cast the breath-holding method. Then, he went to check up on the servant. When he noticed that she had only passed out and her life was not in any danger, he was relieved.Before they knew it, the fire had reached them.'Bloody hell!'At that moment, Darryl could no longer think. He quickly cultivated the powers of the Red Lotus Fayette and created a protective shield around them, enveloping himself and the servant.Technically speaking, Darryl's Red Lotus Fayette could merge with the strong fire in front of him. It was just that when he met Wolfire in the valley previously, he had already cultivated it once.Back then, he had used up quite a lot of energy. He had not recovered his energy yet, so he could
The assassins had all their minds on the princess earlier on, and since it was pitch-black, they did not notice Darryl's face. However, when they observed him up close, they realized the man before them was exactly who the Chief was looking for.When Darryl heard what the assassins had said, he was instantly stunned.'Damn it! Why are these assassins looking for me?'At that moment, more guards gathered outside, and continuous shouting could be heard."The fire is almost extinguished!""We absolutely can't let the assassins escape."Hearing the movements outside, the leader of the assassins knew they could not waste any time, so he immediately made a decision."Let's first bring this guy back for our mission report."As soon as he said that, the other assassins nodded and immediately rushed up to tie up Darryl.Darryl wanted to resist, but he was too weak. He did not have any strength left in his body at all. He was so helpless that he could only allow himself to be captured b
