Dustin showed no sign of joy after getting a definite answer from the woman. Instead, he looked gloomy. The person in Aylka must have only agreed because she was certain she had ways to get the information he needed.But somehow, he just had a nagging feeling that there was something odd about the whole thing. The closer he got to the bottom of things, the more uneasy he felt.He didn't even know what was the source of this unsettling feeling. It felt like intuition, but then again, maybe he was just overthinking things."Forget it. I'll work things out as they come." Dustin shook his head and did away with these troubling thoughts. Just as he was about to return to his room for a rest, his phone rang. It was a call from Lana."Hello, Ms. Camron. Is anything the matter?" Dustin looked around and noticed that the sun was already setting."Ms. Camron? Haha! I'm sorry, you guessed wrong." Suddenly, a raspy voice could be heard through the phone."What?" Dustin's brows furrowed i
Dustin had just gotten out of his car when he was blocked by two men with full tattoo sleeves."I'm here to meet someone," Dustin answered coldly."We need to run a body check on you!" the two men said before promptly patting Dustin down.He did not resist their actions and simply stood there cooperatively without moving. He wasn't going to do anything rash without ensuring Lana's safety."Alright, go on in." After checking Dustin and making sure that he didn't have any weapons on him, the two men stood aside and let him in.Dustin said nothing and entered the cathedral.In the cathedral, a burly man with unkempt stubble sat topless at a table. He had a bunch of lackeys around him, and they were enjoying a huge feast of roasted lamb. There were also all sorts of alcohol on the table. As they sat there, stuffing their faces with the lamb and chugging on alcohol, they looked like they were having the time of their lives.Over in a corner, Lana was tied to a stone pillar with a
"What?" The bald man looked at his penis on the ground, then at his crotch. The bald man was stupefied. His eyes widened in disbelief.What had just happened? Why was his penis on the ground?"Ahh—!" After a moment, he came to terms with what he saw, and the man gave out a blood-curdling shriek. His knees gave way, and he fell on his butt. His nether region bled profusely."Ah! My dick! My dick!" the bald man shouted and groaned in pain as he rolled around on the ground. The sudden commotion shocked everyone."John! What's going on?" the stubbled man immediately stood up and asked."My dick's gone! Someone chopped my dick off!" the bald man, John, cried as he picked up his bloody dick and raised it high above his head, showing it to the rest of them."Damn it! Who the fuck did that? Who dares hurt my men? Get the fuck out here!"The stubbled man scanned the room menacingly. All the other men pulled their weapons out, looking around warily."It was me." Dustin walked out o
The members of the Black Grizzly Gang suddenly froze as they rushed forward. It was as if they had been turned into stones. Soon, explosions could be heard, and all the members of the Black Grizzly Gang started swelling like balloons and exploded one by one.All of a sudden, severed limbs flew, and fresh blood splashed everywhere. It was a bloody mess in the deserted cathedral."What?" The stubbled man was stunned beyond words. The cigarette between his lips fell to the bloody ground. Were they all dead? The fight was just about to start, and he had already killed 20 to 30 people! Was he really human? Only the devil could do such a thing!His boss didn't send them to a job; he sent them to their death!"How could this be? Who is that person?" At this time, John looked terrified and could no longer care about the pain he felt. They had initially thought this would be an easy kill with the support of their boss. There shouldn't be any problem. They had never thought that their
John felt like thousands of wild horses were trampling his heart as he watched his leader surrender. Didn't he say they would rather die than disgrace the gang's principles? Didn't he say they'd die trying? Did he just fucking change his mind in a blink of an eye? Now that he could live, what would happen to him?"Hey, didn't you say we'd die together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" John was shocked."Hey man, don't blame me. I have a family to feed; I can't die yet. Besides, you're already infertile. "There isn't a purpose to your life anymore. I'll take care of your siblings for you. You may leave in peace," The stubbled man said compassionately."You asshole! You've betrayed our gang's principles! You should fucking die!" John was furious as he unsheathed his knife and attempted to stab the stubbled man.The stubbled man quickly reacted as he picked up a brick from the floor and aimed straight at John's head."Bam!" It was a muted but sickening sound. The brick
The stubbled man trembled and fell backward. He had never expected that."I don't have to keep my promise with a piece of trash like you," Dustin replied coldly.After that, he stepped over the corpse and walked toward Lana. He untied her and took off the blindfold covering her eyes. He asked gently, "Ms. Camron, are you alright?""I'm fine. It's a good thing you arrived in time. If not, I would have been defiled by these animals." Lana let out a sigh of relief. She might have seen a lot, but she had never gone through any experience like this. If Dustin had not saved her in time, they would have sold her off to another place after defiling her. It would be terrible if that happened!"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Dustin felt a little guilty. He had upset Scott, so Scott kidnapped Lana to get back at him."What are you talking about? We're partners! We'll go through everything together! Isn't that right?" Lana laughed casually and continued, "Besides, it's all Scott's fault
The news about the Black Grizzy Gang's doom spread quickly throughout the slum. The gangs who initially had set Dustin as their target avoided him like the plague.The Black Grizzly Gang was one of the major gangs in the slum. No one expected them, especially their elite fighters, to be killed in the blink of an eye. Those who knew what was good for them wouldn't dare to mess with Dustin.With Lana by his side, Dustin drove out of the slum without any trouble. The story of the mighty warrior began to spread in the slum.After half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Lana's private mansion."Hey, Handsome, do you want to come in for a while?" As Lana got out of the car, she invited Dustin in with a smile. Her dress was torn. Her tattered clothes revealed her fair legs and sexy body."Thanks, but no thanks. It's already late. You should get some rest." Dustin rejected politely."Handsome, I'm a little scared to be alone now. How about you stay here with me for tonight? If
"You look pretty even when you were young." Dustin praised politely. Even though Lana captured everyone's attention now, she was obviously eye-catching since she was young."Well, the past is the past." Lana opened her fridge, turned around to look at Dustin, and asked, "Hey, Handsome, what do you want to drink?""I'm good with anything," Dustin replied."Alright then." Lana took out a dozen cans of beer and put them on the coffee table. She also put some snacks on the table to go with the beer."Here's to us!" Lana opened two cans of chilled beer and gave one to Dustin. After they chinked cans, they started drinking happily."This feels great!" Lana downed half a can of beer in one go. She smiled happily as her eyes crinkled in joy. The pleasure of having chilled beer on a hot summer's evening was beyond description."Hey, Handsome, what do you think of me?" Lana drank and asked with a smile."A kind beauty." Dustin gave her a simple answer. They had worked together seamles
Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o
As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to
After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe
"How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap
Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
Willem was so fast that, even to a grandmaster, it would appear as though he had teleported, leaving no time to react.Bailey had already drawn Arion's full attention, making Willem's sudden attack almost impossible to counter.When everyone thought his attack was about to succeed, a red divine talisman suddenly shot out and stuck to his forehead just as his fangs were mere inches from Arion's neck.The talisman exploded, releasing a surge of violent energy that blasted Willem over ten yards away. Before he hit the ground, a blazing fireball instantly engulfed him.He screamed as he turned into a human torch. The fire burned fiercely, scorching his flesh and charring his body.The flames clung to him like a curse and were impossible to put out. His blood energy crackled and hissed as the fire burned, and thick black smoke rose from his body.The sight shocked everyone.Just moments ago, Willem had almost succeeded in his ambush, but Arion had been prepared. With a single talisma
Thousands of golden whips lashed out with the force of a storm, and it was impossible to dodge.The group led by Bailey launched their attacks to block and continually struck the golden whips. With each collision, energy erupted, followed by loud booming sounds.Arion stood firm like a mountain. His body was enveloped in golden light as he swung his whips. Even though he was outnumbered, he still held the advantage.Bailey and the others couldn't break through at all. A few slightly weaker gods from the Hall of Gods were forced to retreat with each lash and struggled to withstand the onslaught.At that moment, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the attacks evolved from the Glow Incantation were enough to throw them off balance."I don't believe these things can stop me!"Bailey roared as his body began to change. His already large frame grew even bulkier, like a small mountain. His shirt tore as his muscles expanded, and
The sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise. No one had expected Arion to strike so suddenly; he was so fast that they couldn't even see his movement.Even Willem, renowned for his speed, couldn't react in time. One slap had sent him flying—simple, brutal, and unstoppable.At that moment, they finally realized that the seemingly harmless Arion was much more formidable than they had imagined.Willem staggered to his feet and reached up to straighten his twisted neck. His collapsed cheek began to heal at a visible rate. Fortunately for him, vampires possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities. Without it, the slap would have crippled him."You're strong for an old geezer, but it'll take more than that to finish me off," Willem hissed through clenched teeth. The bloodthirst in his eyes was unmistakable as he glared at Arion. If he could drain Arion's blood, his strength would surge to unimaginable heights."Oh? This is interesting." Arion raised an eyebrow with a faint smi
The battle between the Hall of Gods and Sacred Wrym Summit raged with unrelenting intensity. The Hall of Gods had made meticulous preparations for this invasion. Besides recruiting powerful martial artists from around the world, they also distributed valuable enhanced serums to everyone. To counter Sacred Wrym Summit's Stormcraft technique, they developed a special combat suit capable of resisting such attacks. Generally, a divine martial artist struck by Stormcraft would instantly lose their combat ability, but this special suit reduced the effectiveness of the attack by half. Even if struck, they could recover after a brief moment to continue fighting. The defensive capabilities of this gear were nearly flawless.In addition, their greatest strength was the sheer weight of their numbers. They had at least ten thousand people, including hired outlaws, under their command. During the siege, they were densely packed like a swarm of bees.In contrast, Sacred Wrym Summit had only
