The next morning.Amelie and others woke up, and they felt nothing different, except that Abbie was missing. Other than that, everything was okay on the surface.They were in their house, and they were doing their things.However, in reality, they were all still sleeping and dreaming as Ulmer wanted them to rest for a few days. That was the safest option he could think of. Since he supplied them with spiritual energy, they wouldn’t need to eat or drink. So, there was no need to worry about them right now.As for the location he had chosen to put them, it was in Phantom Killer’s house since it was heavily guarded on the outside.Phantom Killer and Demonbane were both awake.“Your name will be Faceless from now on,” Ulmer told Phantom Killer. “Stop all the killings that you’re doing. Instead, you’ll be stopping the people from dying. That will be your job from now on.”Phantom Killer complained that it would be boring, but Demonbane smacked him on the back of the head and said, “You’d a

After teleporting to the other side of the entrance door, Ulmer saw a group of four guys playing poker in the distance.They looked bored.Ulmer walked toward them, his footsteps loud enough to be heard.The four men looked at him and were startled and confused at the same time. Who was he? Where did he come from? How did he even get here when the door was closed?“I heard this was an old entrance, not used by people anymore,” Ulmer uttered, “so how come there’s protection even in this place? It seems the security of this underground criminal city is tighter than I thought. I was not expecting criminals to be doing their guarding duties so diligently.”“Identify yourself!” The four men grabbed their guns and pointed at Ulmer. “Who are you? State your name!”“Easy, guys. Maybe, I’m here to register in the city?” Ulmer said. “I heard that there’s a process where we can join this city and become part of it?”“Only criminals who shed human blood can become a member of this city,” one of t

“Take the knife and cut its throat,” the priest said once more. “It’s the easiest thing there is. Once you taste its blood, you will want to do it again and again.”Ulmer’s expression turned cold. “You want me to kill that little lamb? Do I look that easy?”“Mm?” the priest looked at Ulmer with a bit of astonishment. (Is he suggesting that this is too easy of a task for him? There were those who show up every now and then. They are so wicked that they hate doing simple tasks like killing an animal. Is he one of those super psychotic people?) “Can you clarify yourself?”“What’s there to clarify?” Ulmer replied.”If you want me to explain myself, take me to the Council of Nine. I will give them all the explanations they need.”The priest’s eyes widened some more. (He’s asking me to take him to the council? Does that mean he knows about the main sacrifice he needs to do to prove his loyalty to them? I was underestimating him since he only showed some gold coins, but it seems this young ma

The Nine Veils were the rulers of the first nine levels of Crimia.They were all individually known as strong masters of martial arts and were famous for their superstrength with which they could keep order on their respective floors.In the past couple of years, the Nine Veils didn’t change, as they were strong enough to maintain their ranks.The main purpose of the Nine Veils was to rule and to maintain order on their floors. This was why the Nine Veils never fought against each other.What most people didn’t know was that the real purpose of the Nine Veils was to fight off any big threat that would infiltrate Crimia.When the Nine Veils come together, they could create a combined martial art that could rival some of the top experts in the martial world. This wasn’t the first time when they had to come together to kill someone in the past two years.And the moment they realized that Ulmer was not someone they could just randomly attack and use the advantage of numbers, all of the Ni

“Didn’t you hear the news? The ruler of our floor has died!” one of the criminals named Jason was shouting in the streets, gathering the attention of many. “The time has come when people are going to fight for the throne of the veil. The martial arts are going to come in handy more so than ever right now. Those who are interested can learn sword skills from me. Simple moves cost ten gold. Complex moves cost a hundred to a thousand gold!”“Isn’t a thousand gold too much?” someone from the crowd asked. “All you’re going to teach is a few tricks and tips anyway, so why charge so much money?”“Hahah,” Jason laughed out loud. “We live in a world of good and evil, Brother. The minute someone discovers how to help mankind, they never tell you hundred percent how it is done because of money. But I’m still willing to teach you everything if you give me as much as I asked for. So you should be happy instead.”Ulmer was also among the crowd. (His words contradict himself. He’s not going to teac
