Lord Drakon was not only incredibly powerful but also possessed excellent political skills."Did you understand everything I just said?"Isaac stood up, preparing to leave. Before departing, he glanced at the city lord next to him and asked seriously."I understand, sir." The city lord immediately nodded and bowed respectfully."Great, these three new magical artifacts I acquired might not be good at everything, but they're really effective at tormenting souls. I've had a lot of enemies lately and I'm in a bad mood. The thing I hate the most is people who annoy me. You'd better not upset me," Isaac spoke while putting away three magical artifacts.To maximize the intimidation of the city lord and ensure he handled this tricky and difficult matter, he also revealed the vengeful spirits of the Ten Thousand Resentful Bones and the green dog head from Soul Purifying Flask.The overwhelming evil energy, the foul smell, and the ferocity of the Hellhound's head caused the city lord an
At Horrett Vale of the southern region of the Kingdom of Vriweth.The streets were littered with bodies, left unattended, which made Isaac furrow his brow. His heart was filled with an uncontrollable rage.At the City Lord's Mansion, the empty building made Isaac's face turn completely somber."Were you prepared in advance and left early?" Isaac asked in a cold tone."They may have already left here and returned to the frigid lands."It was unlikely that spirits bounded to those Ten Thousand Resentful Bones would just stay close by observing. If they could pick up even the slightest clues in the air, they were certainly aware as well.The two hellhounds within the Soul Purifying Flask began to speak.Isaac furrowed his brow. Had he gone back to the Realm of Eternal Frost?The danger wasn't over yet. Once he left, those two apostles would reappear and continue their misdeeds here.He was engaging in guerrilla warfare with him."Try it with the Ten Thousand Resentful Bones," an
"If he dares to enter our territory, he's done for."The hellbound let out a cold chuckle.The three apostles set out immediately.At the northernmost edge of the Realm of Eternal Frost, where it met the vast ocean.Kaena, the being with a human body and a snake tail, was the first to arrive. She moved swiftly across the ice, ahead of the other two apostles.After she arrived, she decided to stop and wait for her companions behind her. However, just then, she sensed signs of a battle happening in that direction."I never expected that what I was waiting for was not just that dog, but there was an added bonus."A normal human voice spoke, youthful and strong, and it was immediately clear it did not belong to someone from the frigid lands."Isaac, you've got some nerve."The hellbound was both shocked and furious; it never dreamed that this was a trap set by Isaac.It turned out that…Isaac intentionally placed the Soul Purifying Flask on the ground, watching as it approached
"There's no need to chase anymore; the body of the large creature is still there, and the Lich King will create another plague apostle," the hellbound spoke with a cold tone."If he dares to step onto our territory and we can't kill him, the Lich King will punish us." Kaena's voice trembled.When mentioning the Lich King's punishment, even the hellbound couldn't help but tremble. In the eyes of each of its heads, an overwhelming fear was visible.……North of the Realm of Eternal Frost, Isaac was tearing through space at a high speed.After he killed the plague apostle just now, he left immediately without any pause and didn't even bother to destroy the opponent's body.He knew that soon, the Lich King would be able to create another plague apostle.Even so, he still managed to achieve his goal with this action."With the two of you here, will that hellbound always know where I am?" Isaac controlled two heads with dark spiritual energy and asked."Yes, but you can also keep tra
Inside the northern tent.Isaac's sudden appearance took Skylar by surprise and was followed by a question."Isaac, how are you back so soon? What about the South..." Skylar asked with concern.As the Empress, she cared deeply about the kingdom."I've taken care of it, all of it. At least for now, there won't be any issues and we can focus on dealing with the enemies in the north."Isaac, who was smiling, lay in her embrace as he spoke."That was quick!" Skylar blinked in shock.She could hardly believe it."Okay, I'm going to rest now. Tomorrow, it is the time for the final showdown with Zeux."Isaac finished speaking and got ready for bed."What? The showdown is tomorrow?"Skylar exclaimed as she was startled."Any tactic? I thought we had more advantage by defending?"Isaac was too exhausted to respond, falling into a deep sleep without even taking a bath.Seeing that, she didn't disturb him, so she sat there and let Isaac quietly sleep on her lap.After a three-hour
"It doesn't matter, it's the same now."Isaac smiled confidently.At that military meeting, Isaac assigned the tasks for today and tomorrow.Initially, he had planned to take action on that day itself, but he overslept last night so he decided to just postpone it one more day.The next day…Isaac led his army northward for the decisive battle."Lord Drakon, up ahead is the Black Desert. Are you sure it's a good idea for us to enter just like this? It is a major taboo in military strategy," Jonah asked, sounding worried.He thought that the final showdown Isaac mentioned was referring to a battle in the Black Desert."Well, perhaps it's not a good idea. You guys stay in the south of Black Desert with Mixandrei's lead and prepare to face the large army on the ground. I'm going inside to challenge him for a showdown."Isaac nodded and then smiled as he spoke.It boomed Jonah's mind as he realized Isaac was saying that he would go alone for the showdown all the while.The army s
"Alright, let's see who's got the home-field advantage here."Isaac shrugged with an expression of indifference.After saying that, he took action immediately.The resolute move left everyone, including Zeux, completely astonished."So resolute? They barely exchanged a couple of words before it escalated to blows." "So, according to Emperor Zeux, are we supposed to besiege him?" "Of course, we're stationed here. Why should we follow his suggestion and go outside to fight his army?" "We should stay here to let him stuck in the dilemma. If they come in here, we hold an advantage. If they don't come in, we'll assist Emperor Zeux and besiege him." "We're sure to win! Haha, Isaac is so arrogant, coming here all by himself and trying to provoke us. He's asking for death!"......The senior officers of the demon clan were chuckling confidently.In the sky, Isaac and Zeux have started fighting.Zeux took a moment to glance back and shouted his commands."Demon souls at or abov
At that moment, Fenrath tranced. That was especially dangerous on the battlefield because a brief distraction was fatal."Roc Fist!"Zeux rushed over at incredible speed with his fists brimming with blood and demonic aura, barreling toward Isaac to stop him.He was a formidable opponent who could hold Isaac's ground. He could even counter some of the impact back at him.Thanks to the help of Zeux, Fenrath only suffered a shoulder injury and didn't die.“What a terrifying secret technique, No…It's a magical artifact."Fenrath looked at the watch in Isaac's hand with apprehension and a sense of fear.Isaac didn't give him any chance to catch his breath. He blinked behind him and attacked again.This time, Zeux couldn't hold him back anymore.Although he had the advantage of blood aura for direct confrontation, he was completely outmatched by Isaac in terms of speed.On the other hand, although Isaac was surrounded by multiple opponents. He had the advantage in terms of speed, w
"The extra 10 years of torment is your punishment for deceiving me, I don't like being lied to. Just hang in there for another 10 years." The Darklord clicked his tongue as mocked judgment, then turned to Isaac and delivered his remarks with a mix of reassurance and sarcasm.His words had an intent to "win over" but he kept reassuring about certain matters, obviously not wanting Isaac to develop too much of a rebellious mindset.He knew that what truly mattered to Isaac was Mixandrei, but there was no way for him to do anything to her in a short time.He needed to ensure that Isaac no longer had any reason to refuse to submit.......One year…Two years…Nine years…Ten years…Another decade passed.Including the previous decade, it was two decades.Isaac had stayed in that world for two decades.His physical body was still lying in a coffin yard, while his mind had been in this virtual world for two decades!The Darklord stood up and looked down at Isaac.Isaac was loo
"Great! Excellent!" The Darklord was overjoyed and sprang to his feet.Clearly, he valued Isaac in high regard and believed that he would benefit greatly from having such loyal and reliable help.Moreover, the secrets Isaac held were valuable.With all of that, becoming immortal wasn't difficult. Even after achieving immortality, he could dominate the Immortal Realm!"I will now merge with your spirit and plant my seed within you. Do not resist and accept it."The Darklord was eager to make Isaac completely his servant.Reaching out with a large hand, attempting to touch Isaac."Alright…" Isaac spoke wearily.He looked as if he didn't want to resist at all and just wanted to put an end to the pain as quickly as possible.At that moment, the Darklord hadn't relieved the suffering. The intention was to ensure that Isaac to not change his mind. The relentless and boundless agony served as a constant reminder.......The Darklord had already reached Isaac, and soon, Isaac would
"Ah!" Isaac let out a low, raspy scream.It hurt so much.The suffering of spiritual anguish was just as intense as physical pain, if not more so.In an hour, the Darklord lowered the intensity of the torment to a level where Isaac was in constant pain, but not killing him."You talk too much, woman. When the barrier is lifted, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of being so talkative!" the Darklord looked at Mixandrei and spoke in a sinister tone.Then, he let out a cold laugh."No rush, I've got plenty of time to wait this out with you. It's only been a few months, and I can wait alongside you for decades or even hundreds of years. Take your time and enjoy."……After finishing the statement, he stopped talking again and just sat there, using a few methods to torment.One month…Two months…One year…Two years…......In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.Isaac's spirit was tormented by Darklord for an entire decade.Over the past ten years, Isaac ha
At that moment, his words pierced Isaac's ears like a sharp knife; it was also like a blow to Isaac.It was indeed, a spiritual blow."One day, I will tear you apart and make you regret ever being born." Isaac clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and he issued a threat."Hmm?" The Darklord furrowed his brow, clearly not expecting Isaac to have the audacity to say something like that."You're gutsy, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Do you even realize the situation you're in right now? Do you really think you can pull it off?" the Darklord responded with mocking sarcasm.Over the past two months, Mixandrei stayed within a protective shield, shedding countless tears and yelling until her voice was hoarse, but it was all in vain.She could only watch helplessly as her beloved was continuously tormented, unable to do anything under the barrier.That had just as much of an impact on her."Isaac, I don't understand what you're still holding onto. You're exhausted. Why not let go an
At that moment, he had no idea how naive his words were.The Darklord quickly transported him to a dark space to torment his soul. He was coerced to submit and become a slave, and reveal all his secrets.For the first time in his life, Isaac was experiencing such torment.It was pure torment from the Darklord!It was like being better off dead than alive."Kneel, submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and become my servant. Otherwise, I'll keep tormenting you like this forever."The Darklord tormented Isaac's spirit while giving him orders.The Darklord appeared quite unhurried.Isaac was even threatened, with the implication that if he didn't agree, there would be some very inappropriate actions taken against Mixandrei right in front of him.Faced with that situation, Isaac couldn't hold back his anger and felt the urge to fight back.But he was too weak.The soul artifact buffed his spirit, but it only allowed him to contend with the Sacrificial Phase in its early st
"Who's there?" Isaac suddenly shouted in alarm.Someone nearby launched a surprise attack.Mixandrei was slightly slow to react but she chose to trust Isaac and prepare for battle together with him.Thud!A sharp flash of a blade cut through the void.They immediately retaliated with all their strength."King of Pyrois?" Isaac squinted, trying to identify.That person was covered head to toe in a black cloth, concealing the true appearance.The battle resumed. Isaac was evenly matched but soon another enemy appeared behind him.It was the King of Pyrois."Haha, Zegna, thanks for inviting me to help out. If I let him get away, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!" King of Pyrois laughed heartily."Zegna?" Isaac squinted his eyes."Could this man in black really be Zegna?"King of Pyrois and Zegna, one in front and one in back, were positioning themselves to launch an attack on Isaac and Mixandrei.At that point, the power of the soul artifact became evident once
In the recent fight, the King of Pyrois was on the weak side and it left him a bit annoyed.But it was okay.There were plenty of allies nearby."Everyone, attack!" As soon as he gave the order, two hundred guards charged continuously, wave after wave.Although they were mere mortals, the realm's blessing endowed them to pose a threat to Isaac and Mixandrei."Let's go!"Isaac wasn't willing to stay any longer. He grabbed Mixandrei and prepared to leave."You think you can get away? Not a chance!" King of Pyrois flew into the air, attempting to intercept.Isaac attempted to rip through spacetime but was thwarted because they could seal the void.That made his heart skip a beat because it would be difficult for them to leave by using the Principles of the Void."There's a gap, go that way!" Mixandrei launched an attack in another direction to enlarge the gap.Isaac followed right behind.However, the King of Pyrois was close behind, moving faster than the two of them."Get l
Just as Isaac was about to strike, a captain stopped the guard and ordered, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them in!"……"Yes." The guards behaved and followed orders.Then one of the guards whispered a threat to Isaac."Once we're in City 12, don't try any sneaky stealing. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch you!"……Isaac squinted and glanced at him as he remained silent.Isaac and Mixandrei entered the city.The streets and buildings inside the city looked just like those in the real realm.Isaac soon realized that the people living there all had a strong spiritual resilience.No wonder those guards were so arrogant. In the outside realm, anyone who dared to be that arrogant toward a high-level martial artist would be dead."The person who just allowed the two of you to enter the city without any trouble was actually the advisor. He recognized you both. The advisor would like to meet the two of you. Would two of you be willing to oblige?" At that moment, a thin
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
