Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 49: Do you want them to die, or do you want yourselves to die?
The more Jonas thought, the more his head throbbed like a hammer. A sense of guilt overwhelmed him, and he couldn’t deny his responsibility for Selena’s death. His weakness and selfishness indirectly led to that heart-wrenching event. It had become a valuable lesson for Jonas, and now he was determined not to think only of himself. He had decided, or rather, from the moment he jumped into the river to save a person during the storm, Jonas had already made his choice. He had an answer to his question: to continue hiding to protect himself or to reveal his powers to protect everyone. In that internal battle, Jonas’s conscience had won, and he protected everyone, ensuring that Selena’s tragedy wouldn’t repeat in this village. Daisy, Liliana, Karl, Seventh, and all the people in the village, they had all become part of his life.The traditional village festival was ending, and as in previous years, it would continue into the next morning. But this year was different. The villagers had ano

“Start digging!” The shaman spoke decisively.“Bring the offerings forward!”Mrs. Gregory, hearing this, obediently brought the prepared animals in front of the shaman, placing them near Mrs. Sandra’s grave.The first pickaxe hit the ground, unearthing the soil around Mrs. Sandra’s tomb. At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew unexpectedly, and even the trees swayed continuously. Thorny branches fell off, landing on the tombstones nearby.Mrs. Sandra pulled a black hat over her head, took a rusty knife from her pocket, and immediately aimed it at the throat of the goat, stabbing it fiercely. Blood spurted out, splattering her face and the surrounding area.Those standing around couldn’t bear to look at the gruesome sight, huddling together with their hands covering their eyes. Some couldn’t stand the scene and vomited.The shaman’s face, now covered in blood, turned to the people standing before her.“What’s there to be afraid of? Come forward and give me your all!” She exclaimed,
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 51: Wretched spirit, focus on me!
“People, there’s no need to push Jonas anymore; let me handle it,” Seventh declared. Seventh could not tolerate the selfishness and cowardice of the people here. It seemed as if they had forgotten all the things Jonas had done for them. They were only focused on protecting their own interests. They thought Jonas was gentle, blind, and wouldn’t resist, so they could just pass this trouble on to him. But how could he just stand idly by and let this irrationality happen? Jonas was an outsider who had been temporarily living in their village because of unfortunate circumstances, and he shouldn’t have to bear the consequences of actions unrelated to him. Their ancestors had caused this, and now they had to bear the responsibility for it.“I’m the village chief, and I won’t allow Jonas and the others to suffer like this. If there’s a problem, let it fall on me.” Having said that, Seventh moved forward without hesitation. He walked toward the figure lying there behind Jonas. If you asked whe
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 52: Jonas, Liliana, you’re just playing a prank on me, right?
The figure behind Jonas gradually became clearer. Karl strained to widen his eyes to look in that direction. Facing him now was a slender figure, her face covered by a bright red outfit, revealing only her eyes and fingertips. Her pale, almost ghostly hands were even whiter than snow, and her long, pointed fingernails were painted red. The combination of the red nails, the red outfit, and her pale skin made for a chilling appearance.Seeing Karl, who appeared fearless with his old, rusty shovel, trying to stand up to her and protect his friend, the figure couldn’t help but burst into laughter. A mere mortal with an old shovel in his hand, attempting to confront her? It was comical.Karl was unnerved by her laughter, but he was determined not to back down. He stood his ground with the shovel pointed forward. Karl’s hands and legs shook, but he tried to remain composed. He had read in books that, in front of entities like ghosts or supernatural beings, the more afraid you were, the more
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 53: I don’t choose anyone, I choose everyone!
“I don’t choose anyone, I choose everyone!” Jonas asserted firmly.Liliana burst into laughter again. In her eyes, human emotions were the most laughable of all. She couldn’t believe that there was someone in the world who cared more about the lives of others than their own interests.“Let’s see!” After saying this, she swiftly rushed towards Karl. She would start with him. The more Jonas valued him, the more she wanted to hurt him. Liliana wanted to see how far this man in front of her could go with his bravado, and she couldn’t wait to see Jonas’s reaction when she killed Karl. Just thinking about it was already fascinating.When Liliana’s hand with the sharp, red, pointed nails was just an inch away from Karl, a worn and broken old sword had already blocked her hand. It was quickly pushing her grotesque hand aside. The moment Liliana advanced toward Karl, Jonas’ guiding cane had turned into a sharp sword, and, of course, Liliana’s speed couldn’t compete with him. In no time, the sw
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 54: We'll play hide and seek
Jonas truly didn’t understand why Liliana had targeted Daisy, who was her own sister. Through their interactions, he saw Daisy as a kind-hearted person who had never caused harm, and he could even sense Daisy’s feelings for Liliana in her eyes. Perhaps, in some ways, Daisy cared more for Liliana than their grandparents did. Jonas couldn’t fathom why Liliana would go to such lengths against her own sister. Could it be jealousy? Could jealousy drive someone to kill and torment others so much?As Jonas contemplated these questions, Liliana suddenly burst into laughter. It wasn’t the first time Jonas had heard that eerie laughter, but it still sent shivers down his spine.“Feeling a bit bored, Jonas? With just the two of us on a night like this, it’s rather dull!”“What do you want to do?” Jonas asked with a hint of fear, as Liliana’s demeanor suggested she was about to reveal something shocking. The thoughts of these twisted individuals were incomprehensible to him.“I’m just tired of th
Sword Master In The Strange World Chapter 55: Guess what I am!
Karl struggled to contain his fear and worry as he wiped away the tears on his face. Jonas was right; showing weakness now meant choosing death. And this was not just his own death; it meant the death of everyone in the village. The longer he stayed here, the more difficult Jonas’s task would become, and the more danger the villagers would be in.Karl removed his untied shoes and tossed them aside, not caring about any sense of decorum anymore. He knocked on the doors of each house, rapping loudly and shouting if no one answered. People started trickling out, one by one, in response to his efforts. Some believed, while others were skeptical, but standing on the precipice of life and death, they had no choice but to listen.“Really, truly Liliana, isn’t this some kind of joke?” Many people looked at Karl with bewildered expressions. This situation seemed more absurd than fish climbing trees!“She’s no longer the Liliana we knew. She never was!” Karl replied urgently. If he didn’t expla

Jonas’s back was hurting, and he couldn’t stop Liliana. It wasn’t until she had left the cemetery that Jonas regained his composure and chased after her.On the other side, Karl was helping the townspeople evacuate. Each person left their homes and headed toward the hospital.“Hurry, there’s not much time left!” Karl shouted loudly, looking back at the long line of people following him.Inside Karl’s heart, there was a burning urgency. Even though he and everyone else had tried to move as quickly as possible, he knew that the hundred seconds mentioned by Liliana had passed. Liliana had n’t eaten them because Jonas was still holding her back. Karl worried about Jonas on one hand and did his best to help people move on the other. The only thing he could do now was this – if they didn’t move fast enough, they would become Liliana’s fat prey, and all their efforts would be in vain.“Oh Lord, please protect our village and Jonas,” Karl silently prayed while continuing to move forward.

Chapter 135: The end!
Facing Evan and Brendan’s questions, Jonas remained silent saying nothing. He had a strange feeling; normally, whenever Alice appeared, only he could see her. But this time was different; Alice appeared open in front of everyone. This made Jonas suspicious, finally thinking that Alice had some malicious intentions.“Jonas, our system has an issue. Do you want to reset everything?” Without waiting for Jonas to respond, Alice went straight to the point, a smile still on her lips.“System issues? Is there really a problem with the system, or is this some damn scenario of yours?”“The system is indeed having problems. You should reset everything!” Alice repeated her words.Jonas had run out of patience by now. He directly exposed Alice’s true face and what she called the system.“There’s nothing wrong here! Everything is your play. Why did door open earlier? Don’t tell me it opened coincidentally, with no arrangement! Everything, all of it, is your script!” When this door suddenly opened,

“It’s... it’s Cuktor!” Etham pointed towards Cuktor, the one who had just dealt a blow to Charlette. All present there looked at Cuktor with wide eyes. His unexpected appearance, standing alongside Jonas and his group, was a shock to them. None of them had ever dreamed of a day when Cuktor and Jonas’ team would stand together on the same battlefield.“No need to look at me with such wide eyes. I’m not here to protect you all. I’m here just to protect my chance to return to my paradise!” Cuktor turned towards Jonas’ group and spoke. The reason he took the risk to come here was singular – to protect Jonas’s eyes. Lucia’s eyes had been elusive for nearly a thousand years; he had even turned Christina’s parents’ house upside down, finding no clues. Now, if Jonas’s eyes fell into Charlette’s hands, any chance of returning to his paradise would be utterly lost.On Charlette’s side, she was shocked that she had been ambushed, and the ambusher was none other than Cuktor, the one who considere

Chapter 133: It’s over. Everything is over!
Etham, Evan, Christina, and Mei landed on the ground in a heap. Before them lay an incredibly unfamiliar space.“Darn! Where on earth is this?” Etham said, brushing off the dust on his clothes. Just a second ago, they were still in Christina’s house, and now they found themselves in this strange place.Evan glanced around, shaking his head. This was also his first time in this location. Evan had never heard his grandfather mention this place before.“But don’t you guys think this place is incredibly luxurious?” The one speaking was Christina. Having lived in a luxurious mansion her whole life, there was hardly anything in the world she hadn’t seen. But a place this extravagant was a first for Christina.“Exactly! Look, everything is gold-plated, especially the door frame, which is grand and dazzling! Not to mention crystal, gems, and precious stones. Just counting the cost of craftsmanship and design alone is already an enormous figure! These things are all exquisitely designed,” Evan

“There was one time I saw it in my parents’ room! A painting exactly like this scenery!” Mei exclaimed, surprised. She was sure she had seen it before, in her parents’ study! A painting identical to the forest in front of them.“Mei, are you sure?” Christina leaned down to ask Mei, her eyes filled with both hope and a hint of doubt.“I’m sure.”As soon as Mei said that, three pairs of eyes turned towards each other. Evan, Etham, and Christina - they could be the only hope and opportunity for these three.“Let’s go!”Evan was the first to change direction and run towards Christina’s house. Etham, Christina, and Mei pursued suit. They sprinted with all their might. Christina’s house was where Lucia’s eyes were kept, guarded by Christina’s parents. They were secretive, profound, and held many secrets. What they knew about this forest and its related stories seemed to be certain. For Evan’s group, only by unraveling the secrets of the forest could they find Jonas and Brendan. Time was run

The empty wooden bedspread, Brendan, had disappeared for a while now. Outside, the wind grew stronger with each passing moment, blowing the curtain straight into the empty room.“Brendan is missing!” Evan shouted loudly. In his heart, there was a great deal of anxiety; he didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t guess which force had taken Brendan away. Now they were stuck between Cuktor and the force behind that green-eyed bird. One wrong step could ruin the entire chessboard.“What’s going on? What’s happening?” Etham, one hand covering a yawn, the other hastily putting on a coat, rushed out of his room. He had been sleeping soundly when he heard Evan’s voice. Though he didn’t know what was happening, he came running.Behind Etham were Christina and Mei. Unlike Etham, the two siblings seemed much more alert.“Evan, what’s going on? Why did you say Brendan is missing?” Christina looked at Evan skeptically, clasping her younger sister’s hand.Evan was also quite distressed now; Bre

Chapter 130: Etham, something’s wrong with Jonas!
“I’m sorry, I... I... I was just scared of you!” Brendan trembled incessantly. In reality, he had intended to lie like the others, saying that Charlette was good and beautiful just to get through the situation. However, Brendan couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t come here willingly, nor did he willingly eat those foods. He did all those things out of fear. Furthermore, looking at Jonas gave Brendan the motivation to speak the truth. The girl who claimed to be the queen brought him here for one reason only – to force Jonas to give her his eyes. Since then, she had been providing reasons to persuade Jonas. If Brendan now lied, saying Charlette was a good person, the probability of fooling Jonas would be higher. Brendan knew that Jonas trusted those around him, and the words of those subordinates might not be believed, but Brendan’s words sometimes could sway Jonas. Perhaps that was why Charlette asked Brendan if she was a good person. She only wanted to prove to Jonas that givin

Chapter 129:
Jonas contemplated Charlette. He knew this was the highest price Charlette could offer for this deal. Charlette was not wrong; if he agreed to her request, both he and she would benefit, with him gaining the most. Unfortunately, Jonas had no intention of making this deal with Charlette from the start. The world was not only filled with beautiful landscapes and vibrant colors but also with dark and sordid corners. If he handed over his eyes to Charlette, those dark corners would likely expand. Jonas lived not only for himself but also for others in this world, especially for those he loved. Evan, Etham, Brendan—surely they didn't need protection from the likes of Charlette. Protection traded for the lives and peace of others. He knew that even Selena and Karl at the Nine Springs did not want him to do such a thing."Charlette, I apologize, but I decline this deal."Charlette, who was brimming with confidence just moments ago, jumped in anger. She couldn't believe Jonas would make such

Chapter 128: Jonas, everything is very beautiful, isn't it? Isn't it much better than the darkness?
Upon hearing this, Charlette's face turned reddish-purple, and she felt infuriated. She did everything for this world, yet Jonas dared to label her as the villain. She was the queen, the mistress here, and every action she took was for the sake of people as naive as Jonas."Damn it! I am the queen. I treat everyone kindly and generously!" Charlette yelled at Jonas. From the largest to the smallest, Charlette had not encountered anyone as ignorant as Jonas. Clearly, she had welcomed such a wretch with open arms, and he had the audacity to doubt that Charlette was evil. Even his friend Brendan had been warmly received by her. One could question what delicacies Brendan had enjoyed since arriving!"In the end, can't maintain that calm and gentle demeanor?" Jonas teased as he turned his head towards Charlette. He knew Charlette had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. From the beginning until now, she had always been clawing at him to keep herself calm. It seemed that Charlette's na

Chapter 127: Evil or good?
"Why, feeling shaken, aren't you?" Charlette spoke with a smile, knowing that Jonas would be moved by this condition."What do you want, in the end?""It's simple, Jonas. I want to make a trade with you. You see, you have something I need, and coincidentally, I have something you need."Jonas could vaguely guess what Charlette was referring to. He just couldn't comprehend why, if she wanted it, she didn't just take it directly. Clearly, she had plenty of opportunities to do so. Maybe even now, even if Charlette wanted to take it, he couldn't resist.Charlette approached Jonas, and her small hand extended to delicately touch his face. She traced her fingers up to his eye, seeming to examine it closely."These eyes are truly beautiful. If they fully fulfill their inherent purpose, they will be even more stunning." Charlette spoke with a sinister smile. What she wanted was indeed his eyes, just like Cuktor. Initially, she didn't want to involve herself with Cuktor's influence, but now th
