"Wake up, Jonas!" Etham continuously shakes Jonas. “It’s still early; why panic?” Jonas, lounging on the bed, responds, his eyes still closed.

Hearing this, Etham immediately scoffs. Jonas seems to have forgotten about yesterday. Christina had arranged for them to go to the location written on the paper today. Despite Evan and Brendan receiving a large sum of money, he and Jonas are currently staying at Evan’s house. Getting up a bit early to prepare is reasonable.

“Do you not remember? Today, we’re going to Christina’s house,” Etham says while pulling Jonas’s blanket. He wants Jonas to get up and prepare with him.

Jonas doesn’t resist, letting Etham tug on his hand. Despite the cold, Jonas feels relatively normal. Regarding Christina, it’s not that Jonas forgot; he never agreed to go with them. That’s all.

“Didn’t I promise to go with Evan and Brendan yesterday?”

Hearing this, Etham is surprised. Jonas never mentioned this. That day, he stubbornly insisted that Evan take him along. O

    “Evan, I never expected you to be in such a luxurious mansion," Evan couldn’t help but exclaim.Facing Evan’s praise, Christina faintly smiled, and the four of them found it hard to guess what she was thinking.“It’s not necessarily a good thing. Come inside,” Christina said, turning and walking into the mansion.Evan’s group followed wherever they went, widening their eyes at the surrounding opulence. Inside, the mansion was even more extravagant than outside. Everything was gilded, and the wood used in the house was mahogany. In the center of the living room was a giant, sparkling crystal ball. Many famous paintings hung on the walls, with one particularly valuable piece hinted to be worth several gold bars.“Christina, you truly live in opulence. The most luxurious I’ve ever seen,” Etham remarked, eyes wide and mouth agape, overwhelmed by the grandeur.“However, there’s a slight issue with your color coordination. Mostly using dark shades; if you add a few bright spots and adjust t

    Evan continuously boasted about his talents, claiming to have dealt with numerous cases, banishing countless ghosts from their hosts. Everything Evan said suddenly became extremely frightening, and he resembled a fairy-tale hero. Until now, only ghosts were supposed to fear him; he had never been afraid of ghosts.Etham also enthusiastically supported Evan. For every statement Evan made, Etham praised him, creating a harmonious duo. Both of them couldn’t stop laughing. Faced with the scene before him, Jonas didn’t know what to say. These two were a bit strange; how could only ghosts be afraid of him, and he had never been afraid of ghosts! Just yesterday, when they met Christina, didn’t all three of them jump up, trembling with fear, and their legs and arms shaking? They even kept bowing their heads, not daring to look up. If not afraid of ghosts, then what was it? Jonas didn’t have much faith in Evan’s abilities!“Here it is, here it is.” Brendan walked in, puffing, carrying a stack

    Mei, at this moment, had lost all consciousness, resembling a lifeless body. Her eyes were vacant, once lively, skin now even paler.“Mei, Mei... what happened?” Evan panicked, stuttering. This was the first time he had faced such a situation. In the past, following the ritual and slashing the sword into the air a few times would immediately return everything to normal, expelling any demonic presence from the possessed. But this time, it seemed more complicated. The earlier ominous wind was a warning, chilling to the bone. Evan even caught a whiff of fresh blood in that gust. It wasn’t just a chilly breeze; it was the power of a demon. It wanted to disrupt this ritual, and now that demon had manifested itself.“Evan, don’t hesitate. Continue the ritual!” Brendan shouted loudly. If they delayed further, they would miss the golden opportunity to exorcise the evil spirit.Evan seemed to realize something. Indeed, Brendan was right; the ceremony had to proceed. Having started, Evan couldn

    Evan was bewildered, partly because of the menacing scene before him and partly because he didn’t understand Jonas’ intentions. What exactly was “it” in Jonas’ words? Was it that dreadful monster? But Jonas’s blind eyes and lack of knowledge about the supernatural raised questions. Why did Jonas claim such things? Moreover, an experienced exorcist like Evan couldn’t see anything behind Mei until now. The invisible force was pushing him, and Evan felt his strength waning against the formidable creature.His eyes widened, and Evan’s mental state became extremely unstable. The sword in his hand trembled violently, and Evan realized he was losing the battle against the monstrous entity. “No, I can’t hold on any longer!” Evan clenched his teeth, pouring all his strength into the fight. The creature’s power was overwhelming, a hundred times greater than his own!“Evan, listen to me! It’s behind Mei!” Jonas shouted desperately, turning towards Evan. If this continued, the evil spirit would u

    Things gradually returned to normal for Jonas, Evan, Etham, and Brendan bid farewell to Christina and returned home. After this incident, Christina saw Evan’s group differently. After all, Evan had saved Mei’s life this time. In critical situations, Jonas and Brendan didn’t forget to protect her. Moreover, Evan was the only one who could make progress in Mei’s condition. Before him, there were many “exorcists,” but the results were the same – nothing happened. Everything remained unchanged, and the icy wind didn’t appear. It was as if nothing had happened.“Thank you all. This time you’ve really helped us a lot,” Christina expressed her gratitude.“It’s nothing. It’s our responsibility.” Not only Christina but also Evan had changed his attitude. He wasn’t as arrogant as before. This time, Evan sensed the seriousness of the problem. Mei and Christina faced an unsolvable problem, and Evan couldn’t find a solution.“What about Mei now? What should I do next?” Christina looked at Evan, tr

  • Sword Master In The Strange World   Chapter 92: Run into the forest!

    Evan paused by the car, not because he wanted to but because he couldn’t go any further. In front of them, a large tree blocked the road.“Damn it, what the heck, Evan!” Etham exclaimed in shock.“We can’t go on; the road is blocked!” Evan replied.The people inside the car became increasingly uneasy; the car continued to shake, and outside, trees were falling one after another.“Why is everything shaking? Is it an earthquake?” Brendan tossed the peanut bag aside, alarmed. If it was indeed an earthquake, could they end up dying here? He didn’t want that; he was not yet thirty, and he still had no family.“No, no, could it be a dinosaur appearing?” Etham speculated, half-jokingly. Scenes like this often appeared in the novels he read. The main characters and their companions on an adventure encounter a dinosaur, and they end up running into the forest. The current situation made Etham inevitably think of that scenario.Jonas, sitting next to him, just shook his head in exasperation. He

    Darn it, trouble already upon us!" Jonas cursed as he pulled Etham along. Etham’s legs were still injured, making movement extremely difficult. Jonas wanted to run fast, but Etham’s legs weren’t cooperating. Any attempt to speed up resulted in Etham stumbling, even falling, twice.“Etham, come up here; I’ll carry you.” Jonas bent slightly, realizing that carrying Etham was the optimal choice in this situation. Etham, considering himself “a grain of sand,” wasn’t too challenging for Jonas to carry, especially with his sturdy wooden staff in hand.“Let’s go! The monster is getting closer!” Etham said, looking back. The distance between them and the creature was diminishing. If Jonas didn’t pick up the pace, they would become its prey.“I trust you’re faster than that monstrous thing!” Etham believed in Jonas. He had witnessed Jonas’s speed, much faster than Liliana. With Jonas leading, Etham felt a bit more secure.Jonas said nothing; after Etham settled on his back, he continued to mov

    Having spoken, the walking stick in Jonas’s hand quickly transformed into a sharp sword. His demeanor changed entirely, shedding the calm appearance he usually had. Jonas seemed like a different person, cold, ruthless, and incredibly powerful.Evan and Brendan, witnessing this scene, were wide-eyed in amazement. How could an ordinary walking stick turn into such a sharp sword? A ordinary and quiet person like Jonas now stood before them like a hero. In just a few quick seconds, Jonas had undergone a drastic transformation, and their perception of him changed. Despite the harsh words earlier, there was a glimmer of hope in their minds. Jonas being stronger meant a higher chance of survival for them. If Jonas could truly accomplish what he said, defeat the monster, they had every reason to believe it would happen.“Are you ready?” Jonas turned to Etham, breaking the silence.“Yes, I’m ready.”“Good, let’s begin.”Jonas and Etham moved through the bushes, and as they left, Jonas turned b

    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

    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

    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

    "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
