The five wardens left the dungeon right after Myles had defeated a nether knight. Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t comprehend what they had seen. “How did he defeat a nether knight with a punch that used no magic?” “Yeah, it looked like he used pure brute strength given how the skull broke into bits.” “But that doesn’t explain it. We know that brute strength is ineffective against these undead monsters. He must have used some form of magic that’s probably so advanced we couldn’t see it with our own eyes.” “You mean his magic skills are cast in another dimension? And that we can’t even see his attacks coming?” “Probably. I mean, even the nether knight died helplessly against his attack. I’m not sure if our city lord can kill a nether knight so easily.” As other wardens kept talking, Don stayed silent. He felt so foolish for thinking that he could beat someone like Myles who could effortlessly defeat a nether knight. After he realized that Myles could

“Myles…” Rashn’s eyes glowed. “To think I can’t sense any magic from you… What an interesting fellow you are. Did you radically increase your strength in the short time we haven’t seen each other?”“Why did you call me here?” Myles asked.Asgar raised his scythe a little. “Know that you’re in the presence of the one and only Nether King. Give respect, or your head will roll.”“I doubt you can make my head roll,” Myles casually replied.Silence followed.“Hahaha,” Rashn broke the silence. “You have some funny bones in you, too. Good. Good.”Puck also chuckled and said, “I want him as my puppet, Father. Can you make it possible?”“Puppet? Who? That guy?” Rashn cast an angry glance at Puck, causing her to put up a confused expression. “You still don’t understand how strong he is, do you?” He paused for a brief second, making his daughter wonder if he was going to whip her. “Then again, even Asgar can’t seem to grasp his strength, so it’s only natural that you couldn’t, either.”“Does tha

Thousand years had passed in the dimension since Myles and Rashn started fighting. Neither of them were able to bring the other to their knees.“Why isn’t your stamina going down even after we fought for so long?” Rashn was utterly frustrated.“If only I had my magic powers, I would have wrecked his ass long ago,” Myles thought. “But with this body, there’s only so much I can do in this spiritual dimension that suppresses my power but enhances his powers.”Rashn’s bones were covered in bruises. “At this rate, our fight will never end.”“I have the same feeling,” Myles suffered many cuts and a hole near his right shoulder.Both of their wounds were taking longer to heal than they had expected.“Then, let’s postpone this battle to the next time we meet,” Rashn suggested, “assuming you don’t ever step foot in my dungeon again.”“You mean Abaddon’s dungeon, right?”Rashn squinted his eyes for a second but then forced out an angry smile and snapped his fingers.Both of them appeared on the

Two weeks later.Kong and the twin sisters came out of the dungeon with a large power crystal in their hands, shocking the guards.“W-Where did you get your hands on a power crystal?”“Can you please tell us? We’ll pay you for the information.”The guards requested without any shame. Power crystals could be sold for great money, of course, but if they were to give one of these crystals to a high-ranking mage, they would be making acquaintances, which would later be of great help to them.Kong had a similar plan. He was thinking of giving it to one of the city council members so that they would consider making him a warden.It was extremely hard for one to directly become a warden, but as long as the mage rank was within top 2000, it was definitely possible.Kong joined the team of the twins, so his rank was also below 10,000, but it wouldn’t be enough for him to become even a vice warden, so he was planning to bribe a city council member with this rare power crystal.Kong and the twin

Don went out to get an appointment for Myles to meet the city lord. He knew a council member, so he believed he could use their influence to get the appointment. That was the idea, though he wasn’t sure if it’d work out or not.Myles, meanwhile, didn’t return to Ria’s house. Instead, he went to Rockell’s house. Rockell was the rice mill owner who had given work to Myles for a day and paid him about 2000 dollars. More than that, he treated Myles well, so Myles wanted to return the favor.However, when Myles came home, he was shocked to see someone else living in the house.“Where’s Rockell and his family?” he asked the new resident who was a woke-coyote.“I don’t know. He’s sold his house to pay off his debts.”“Debts?”“You don’t know? When it stormed a couple weeks back, his warehouse was destroyed, and all the goods he stored there were spoiled. It was a huge loss for him. Most people would have committed suicide from suffering such a sudden loss, but he’s a strong ram. So, I’m sure
