Salvador's question made Shota pause before he could reach the door.Salvador wanted to know why he had decided to come himself.Well, he didn't actually know why he wanted to be the one to check on Salvador. The only reason he could think of was that he didn't want any of his friends to be alone with Salvador since he doesn't really trust him.But there was more to that, and he didn't know what it was."I came here personally because I don't trust you to be alone with my friends. I'll take my leave now," Shota replied without turning around to look at the boy.And right after saying that, he left the room."He'll never trust me, will he?" Salvador muttered and lay back on his bed.Last night was one of the worst moments of his life. Shortly after returning to his room last night, he heard a knock on his door.Without thinking twice, he went to the door and opened it. He had thought it was Erix or one of Erix's friends, but unfortunately, he didn't know he was about to suffer a pain
On a dark planet far from Earth, where the sun never shines, a seemingly young man was seen sitting comfortably on his throne in a castle in one of the eight unique cities.Although outwardly he was a young man, on the inside, he was just an old man who had lived for many centuries.He sat on his throne with his legs traversed. Judging by his face, he clearly didn't look happy.Well, not that he was ever happy. As a demon leader, he hardly had time to rest or take care of himself because he was always busy taking care of the city's affairs, so he was never happy. Every day many demons were put to bed, and every day many demons died as well, so it's a constant process of building up and breaking down, and the same goes for the resources needed to maintain them."I wonder what this idiot is doing on Earth right now," Lord Baagul thought aloud.This has become a habit. He always speaks out his thoughts whenever he was alone."Tania and Odin should be back by now. What's holding them? If
Erix was furious.Shota's movements were so fast that he didn't even know when he got close enough to hit him.Erix wasn't angry at Shota, he was angry at himself. He had gotten distracted and was now paying for it with his face.He also broke his spinal cord as his back was the most affected by the impact.Several pieces of debris fell as Erix hit the wall. He had hit the exact spot he hit earlier after Shota's blow.[-20 HP][Blood bank auto-activated][40/40 HP]Erix's injuries, which had been slow to heal, now began to heal faster. A few seconds later, all the injuries on his body healed, including his broken spinal cord.Erix lifted him off of the ground when he felt that all the injuries on his body were gone. The reason he didn't get up right away was that he didn't want the people there to see his unnatural healing ability.He had already caused quite a stir when he displayed his blood slash, and if he added another one now, it might arouse unnecessary suspicion and he didn't w
Erix and Shota made their way back to their room.When they got there, it turned out that Rin was already back. He was lying on the bed with his back, resting.When Erix was about to pass Rin's bed to go to his, he happened to catch sight of Rin's watch and immediately froze in shock when he saw the number now displayed on it.Rin had leveled up twice since he had last checked his level. He was now at level eight.Erix shifted his gaze to Rin's body to check if anything was different, and sure enough, Rin's body had changed quite a lot that he hadn't noticed until now.He looked more muscular and masculine now than before. He also seemed to have gotten a little taller, just a little.His chest stood out more than usual, which surprised Erix. And even the weight and size of his arm had apparently increased as well.'What the hell is going on here? Humans don't grow this way. Why is Rin getting better at everything so fast?' Erix wondered as he continued to scan Rin's body as though he w
After several discussions, it was finally time for Rin to leave. And he left quickly, without wasting any time.Nicole had joined in the discussion just before Rin left."Are you sure he's going to be okay?" Nicole blurted out, looking at Erix. Her tone showed that she was worried."Absolutely, he'll be fine. He can protect himself well enough unless he is outnumbered." Erix replied confidently."How so?" Nicole asked. "Don't forget he's only a level 4 ability user. Well, I can say that his ability is pretty strong and useful in battle, but that alone will not be enough to win a fight readily?""And who says he is only a level 4 ability user? Perhaps you don't know, but he has improved over time. He's at level 8 now, so I'm sure he'll be able to protect himself well." Erix explained."Oh, I see, then I should stop worrying about him," she replied with a smile.Orah was a little jealous when he heard Nicole's words.'Will she be bothered when I am in danger?' Orah thought, but he had no
Erix looked at his wristwatch and saw Rin's name displayed on the screen.'If he didn't call me, he wouldn't call any other person.'Not wanting to waste time, Erix quickly picked up the call."Hey, Rin, what's up…" Erix was interrupted by Rin's distress, yet a loud voice."You guys, don't come…don't come here. He is planning something very…" at this point, the call quickly disconnected."Rin! Rin! Don't hang…Damn!" Erix gritted his teeth in frustration when he realized the call was no longer going.Shota, Rin, and Nicole knew immediately after hearing Erix's worried voice, that all wasn't right."What's going on, Erix? Is something wrong?" Shota asked as he sprang down from his bed in a quick go."What did Rin say?" Rin and Nicole asked in unison."I didn't hear him very clearly as he was stuttering every now and then, but I think he said we shouldn't come there. I don't care, I'm going there right now," Erix proclaimed before he jumped down from his bed and rushed toward the door."I
Rin was shocked to hear what Quito had just said. Their plans have been busted. Quito knew everything. He had just been playing along the whole time and they hadn't even noticed. After what Quito had revealed, there was only one question Rin had in mind: how the hell did Quito know?Instinctively, Rin began to step back. If what Quito said was indeed true, then it was very likely that he'd attack or even kill him at any time, so he made sure to keep a good distance from him."I don't know what you're talking about, what plan are you talking about? I came here to fulfill my own part of the deal, so what are you talking about?" Rin pretended not to know, still backing away.Surprisingly, Quito and his men didn't advance, even though he kept backing away. Rin, who had a high IQ, thought this was rather strange. Weren't they afraid that he might run away?However, he soon realized the reason why they didn't advance when he heard a rustling behind him. Quickly, he turned around and saw fou
"City market... Come on, let us go," was the only word Quito said before running toward the city market. Shota, on the other hand, didn't ask any questions and simply followed Erix. After a few minutes, Erix was already standing in front of the forest Orah had described to him. "Are we there?" Shota asked, looking around to see if he could find a sign of anyone. "Yeah, it should be this forest. Orah said he was going to check it out. I think we should go in too," Erix replied before walking towards the entrance of the forest and Shota followed him. However, they had not gone far from the entrance when they heard a voice from behind. "Not so fast, guys. You'll have to pass us before you can enter this forest, hehe," a voice said with a chuckle. Erix and Shota quickly turned around when they heard that voice and saw three sturdy guys standing behind them with their arms crossed. "Who the hell are you?" Erix asked, not recognizing their faces. "Hehe... You don't need to know that
