Chapter 185 = End of Arc 1Chapter 186 = Beginning of Arc 2******After Quito made his request, General Ryker had no choice. He was helpless in this situation. He couldn't even say no, even though the request was against the school rules. In fact, the request was against military rules and regulations.But what could he do? If he didn't comply with the request and made a treaty with Quito, it would lead to something really bad that could affect the military, even all of humankind wouldn't be spared.The Sulckers won't hesitate to wage war against humanity again if they find out that humans aren't at peace.The strength of humans is their unity, but if this is missing, a breath from the Sulckers is enough to wipe the humans from the surface of Earth.Therefore, General Ryker tried everything to keep this peace and prevent a civil war.The military was the strongest force of humanity on Earth. Even though there were families that were just as strong and had the same power as them, most
General Ryker still hadn't uttered a single word of reply after hearing Armstrong's report. He was stunned and incredulous.He never thought Quito could concoct such a spooky plan. All this time he thought that Quito had only requested for the teleporter to bring his family to Camuti for exploration, but it didn't occur to him that his thoughts were very far from Quito's actual plan.When Nicole couldn't take the silence anymore, she snapped angrily."You're not saying anything! I just told you that my friends were in danger and you haven't done anything about it. If you don't say anything, I'll go there myself, Dad!"Nicole sounded very upset and also worried. She wouldn't calm down until she learned that her friends were okay.Armstrong was about to reprimand Nicole when he saw her barking at Gen. Ryker by barking at her.How the heck could a student yell at the general? That was rude.But it wasn't until he heard Nicole's last word that he stopped himself.'Dad? So she's General Ryk
Gen. Ryker was deeply hurt when he saw the condition Nicole was in. He could endure any torture but seeing her little girl shed tears broke him.He felt guilty for everything that had happened. To him, it was his fault. If he hadn't given Quito the teleporter, none of this would have happened.He feels guilty for making his daughter cry. He feels guilty for negligently causing the death of his daughter's mother, his wife. He feels guilty for being a bad father. He feels guilty for not paying attention to poor people. He feels guilty for not being a good general.Actually, he feels guilty for everything that happened today.Tears ran down his face while his thoughts were filled only with guilt and regret.How was he supposed to explain to his daughter that he was the one who had caused why her friends were now on a strange and dangerous planet?Nicole would probably hate him when she heard that he was the one who had given Quito the teleporter, no matter what excuse he used to justify h
Nicole was shocked at how Rin's wrath intensified drastically. She had first thought he was only trying to intimidate her, but that wasn't the case. He was really angry.In any case, she was in no position to answer that question. She wasn't in the forest when it all happened. Only through her father was she able to know a little of what had happened."What's going on here? Why is the young man so angry?" Jasmine finally got to where Nicole and Rin were standing.Neither Rin nor Nicole answered her question. Nicole was too surprised by Rin's outburst to even notice Jasmine's presence. It was only after a few seconds she noticed Jasmine's presence. But even then, she still did not answer her question."I didn't go into the forest with them. I stayed behind. I don't know much. The little I know now, I heard from someone. If you want, we'll go to your room. There I'll explain everything to you." Nicole finally retrieved her tongue back."Why aren't my friends here to see me?" Rin asked.N
"So we're just going to sit back and wait for the rescue team to find them. I feel really useless that we can't help," Nicole said, sighing."Maybe you should speak for yourself. I'm not going to sit back and wait for the military to do something," Rin said, shaking his head."Don't tell me you're going to interfere with the military's decision, are you? If I happen to be right, don't do anything stupid. The military will come tomorrow to question you since you're the only living witness to tonight's incident. Think carefully about what you answer. Don't mention Quito's name. Let's wait until the others come back, then we'll discuss properly and plan how we'll strike Quito," Nicole advised.Rin nodded with a smile and said, "I'm glad you have the same line of thought as me. I won't interfere in any military decision. I want to track down Erix, Shota, and Orah myself. If there is any communications satellite at all near the planet, then I will send them a message. But I'll not do this a
On a shady planet, far from the coordinates of Earth and far from the sun, a seemingly dark-haired boy lies unconscious in the middle of a dark wasteland.Having repeatedly dyed his naturally red hair, his hair now looked dark, as if it were his normal hair color.Destroyed buildings could be seen far away from him, with a few boulders here and there. All the buildings far and around him looked destroyed and abandoned.There was no sign of life or vegetation on the land. The whole planet looked abandoned and deserted, with no civilization or modern technology.The entire planet looked like a place where an apocalypse had taken place in the past.You could also see beasts of various kinds and levels moving freely all over the planet, as this was their home.The destroyed buildings were obviously the work of high-level beasts that went berserk and destroyed the whole place.This was the reason why the planet was considered damn dangerous and not fit to live in. At least until all the bea
"Are you crazy? If you think this is some kind of game, then stop it. Do you really think you can take out fifteen of them at once? There's no fighting this time. I'll stay here until they pass, and then we'll move on," Shota replied, annoyed that Rigel wasn't taking their current situation seriously.Rigel chuckled when he heard what Shota had just said, but said nothing. He chose to remain silent, for actions speak louder than words.'If only he knew how weak these beasts are against me,' he thought and chuckled again.After the group of Cataclaws had passed, Shota came out from his hiding place and picked up his pace.Although he didn't know where he was going, he had an inexplicable certainty that he'd find shelter.As far as his eyes would go, he could see broken buildings and large rocks. This sight gave him some hope that he'd find shelter.In a way, these rocks helped him. They served as a good hideout when beasts approached.So far he hadn't encountered any other beast except
Instead of going to class, Nicole made her way to Erix's room.When she got there, Rin was still asleep. What woke him up was her knocking."Hey, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Rin asked in a sleepy voice, still lying on his bed."Are you serious right now? Seven in the morning is early, really?" Nicole articulated, shocked."Wait, seven?!" Rin exclaimed, jumping down from his bed."Oh, no, I didn't know it was seven already. Usually, Erix wakes me. Now he isn't here, I overslept. Give me a few minutes, I'll get ready quickly."With those words, Rin hurried into the bathroom, leaving only Nicole in the room.After Rin left, Nicole quietly walked down to the table in the corner of the room and grabbed the water bottle that was sitting up there.As she was in a rush, she had forgotten to drink water after having breakfast in the cafeteria that morning.Opening the bottle, she gulped down the entire contents in one gulp.Then she went to Erix's bed and lay down there.

In the fifth city of the planet of demons, the darkness was absolute. The only source of light was the dimly red light coming from the sky. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, a young lady could be seen walking down the street. Her long red hair fluttered in the chilly wind as she made her way to her destination.The demons on the streets recognized her instantly. She was none other than Tania, the famous saintess of the tenth city. Her reputation preceded her, and the demons knew her for her unparalleled strength and her unwavering respect for the demon laws. They were surprised to see her walking down the street of the fifth city at this hour, and they couldn't help but wonder what brought her out of her abode.As Tania walked past them, she maintained a cold and expressionless face. Her demeanor was as stoic as ever, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in her mind. She continued walking, lost in thought until she finally arrived in front of a modern and decent bungalow.Wi
Lord Julian led Erix, Shota, and Orah up a grand staircase to the second floor of his regal mansion. The walls were adorned with paintings of famous battles and landscapes. Once they reached the top, he turned and gestured towards a door on the left."This will be your room," Lord Julian said. "I hope it'll suffice for your stay here."When they entered the room, they admired the room.The furniture was made from the finest wood on the planet and decorated with intricate engravings. There was a large three-poster bed, a vanity table with a mirror, and a fireplace to keep them warm during the colder nights.Shota nodded with admiration "It's habitable. Not bad."Orah examined the room carefully, old habits from his training, and started to make a list of any potential security risks. When he was finished, he said, "It's perfect. Better than that crappy rubbish from earlier."Lord Julian noticed the absence of Scott and raised an eyebrow. "Where is the servant goblin? Did he not wish to
The ruthless demon towered over the cowering goblin, its eyes glowing red in the dim light of the forest.The goblin had lost all of his comrades in the battle that had been raging for minutes and was now at the mercy of the demon that had led the attack."Please, spare me," the goblin pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. "I surrender."The demon let out a deep, thundering laugh. "Very wise of you, little goblin," Orah growled. "You have made the right choice. I will let you live. But there are consequences."Instead of killing the goblin, however, the demon did something unexpected. He looked the goblin straight in the eye and muttered words in a language the goblin did not understand.Suddenly, the goblin felt a strange sensation coursing through his body. He paled, but at the same time, a strange sense of loyalty blossomed within him. He looked up at Orah with wide eyes and suddenly realized what had just happened."You... you manipulated my mind just like your friend did with Ro
Erix heaved a sigh when he heard what Orah said. Orah had deliberately spoken of the rebellion to give him no choice but to agree with his words, and it had really worked.Definitely, they wouldn't let the goblins go after learning of their plan for fear of being exposed. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they must kill the goblins to silence them. There are other ways to silence them without actually killing them.As much as Erix had the urge to kill the goblins for the sake of exp, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain loyal servants who undoubtedly would bring more benefits than just the immediate gain of exp.Thus, instead of complying with Orah's appeal, he acted differently."No, we won't kill them. They'll be useful to us if we have them as servants. I don't want us to waste them by killing them," Erix told his friends."How are we going to tame these losers anyway? Why don't we kill them now to save ourselves the trouble of doing that in the future?" Shota spoke up, soun
Erix and his friends delved deeper and deeper into the forest as they talked to relieve their boredom.However, that was only until they came upon a group of seven goblins, armed to the teeth.They stopped a short distance away from the goblins before they were seen.The goblins carried spears, bows, arrows, and many other vicious weapons."What should we do now? Go back?" Orah asked in a very low tone."These guys are armed. They are not like any other goblins we have encountered so far. Maybe we should leave before they see us," Erix asserted. In his opinion, he found it pointless to waste their strength fighting the goblins."Come on, it'll be fun to fight these losers. Only I can take them out at once," Shota said with excited eyes. However, seeing that none of his friends reciprocated this enthusiasm, he sighed and said, "Fine, if that's what you want, then... Ahhh!!!" Shota cried out and jumped up in startlement.A few seconds later, a rat ran out from under the ground where he h
In the portal room inside military base two, a purple opening appeared from which five soldiers emerged.The soldiers were the military team that had gone to look for the students who had gotten lost inside a beast planet. However, they had returned empty-handed, believing that the students were no longer there.They saw it with their own eyes as the students dissolved into red, invisible dust."Everyone, except Leo, can go back to their domains and rest. I'll report to the General Staff with Leo," General Stanley announced shortly after they arrived.They all nodded and went on their way. But all of them except Leo.General Stanley looked at Leo and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this? Roaming about Camuti alone is dangerous, you could even die there."Although he was always envious of Leo and his impeccable way of doing things, he didn't wish him death.Leo's face was cold and expressionless. He only nodded but said nothing."If you say so. Just know that you don't have to kill
Josh was a little startled when he heard that. He didn't know why, but Erix's words made him anxious and frightened. He tried to put up a calm facade, but that immediately crumbled as Erix approached him.Erix walked towards him calmly and with a cold expression. He didn't look excited or angry.'But he's only human,' a thought popped into Josh's head. 'What if this is only a technique to intimidate and disorient you? He may have super healing, but he's not invulnerable to death, so be smart. Kill him when you get the chance.'Josh's courage immediately picked up as this thought crossed his mind.He got into a fighting stance and laughed nervously, "Come on, little human. You can't scare me."Erix chuckled when he heard this. He pronto activated his light wing boots and transported himself behind Josh, invisible as a bullet."How about now, are you afraid of me?" Erix asked in a whisper, chuckling. He wasn't attacking Josh yet. He just wanted to scare him a little.Josh was terrified
