Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe what was happening. Even Alaric was taken aback by the situation. How could a beautiful woman have such arrogance? She had a much different personality than her appearance suggested. Iris was the only one who looked away with a frown. As she looked at Remus, she understood what was happening. In the past, when she'd overseen the cases in Nawad, there had been a religion known as Masanisim. They were known for Soul Devour, Soul Attract, and Soul Return. They were also skilled at killing one in their dreams!Remus should be performing Soul Devour, which meant that he'd temporarily put his soul into Miranda's body to control her soul. To do so, there were two conditions. He'd either have to take the hair, blood, or skin of the person being controlled. The second condition was a close distance.However, this method had serious side effects, so it was rarely performed. Zelda was infuriated. She'd seen presumptuous people but had never faced on
Blythe was on the verge of tears, wondering why Miranda was being so stubborn. Then, he turned to look at Remus. Only to find that he had his eyes closed. "What are you guys standing there for? Fight!" Zelda was furious and ordered, "Beat him up too! Do it now, and beat them as hard as you can! Don't you guys want to get close to me?" The candidates didn't want to beat Blythe since they'd accepted his money. However, they wanted to make a connection with Zelda even more. "Make him leave!" Someone shouted. Then, a dozen people rushed toward Blythe. Shocked, Blythe squeaked in fear, and his face was pale. He quickly ran in the opposite direction, as he was only a pinnacle grandmaster. That meant that he could defeat one at a time, but he would definitely be beaten up if he faced more than two. "Ms. Long, let me deal with him." The candidate ranked 11th stood out. Licking his lips, he squinted. "Lady, I won't show mercy, so you better be prepared." When he finished speaking, h
Zelda prepared to apologize, but Miranda didn't give her a chance to speak. She pulled Zelda's collar and slapped her, asking, "Are you going to scold me again? Are you going to fight for my spot? Do you think you can abuse your power?" Every time Miranda asked a question, she would slap Zelda once. As an ordinary person, Zelda had no strength to resist, and soon her face was swollen. "Run, run! We admit defeat—" Blythe shouted, returning to the spot as he was being chased by the other candidates around the space. Just as he'd returned, he'd asked Miranda to run with him. Suddenly, he realized Ike was below her feet, and she was slapping Zelda. Then, he took in the people moaning on the ground around her. What was going on? The people chasing behind Blythe quickly stopped. They had been running too close to each other, so they crashed into each other and fell to the floor. Rather than feeling pain, they thought they were hallucinating. "Stop!" Alaric finally snapped to his se
Alaric glared at Larry and scolded, "What did you say? Do you know the consequences of offending your superior?" In the Dragon Team, the rules are extremely rigid. If one were to offend their superior, they could be fired immediately. Therefore, Larry couldn't continue to argue."So you do have a death wish!" Remus shouted from afar, and his voice was deafening. Instantly, the candidates felt suffocated. Alaric and the others also couldn't help but feel the same. With a pale complexion, Remus held Miranda's hand and slowly walked over. Zelda had tried using her background to become Iris' secretary, while Remus had helped Miranda out. Therefore, it was a fair deal. Now, Alaric was using his status as the examiner to target Miranda and reject the obvious result. He deserved to die! Alaric's brows were deeply furrowed, as he'd never felt such pressure before. However, this was Dragon Team—his territory! "You dare to ridicule me?" "Not only will I ridicule you, I will—" Remus wa
Everyone was shocked to hear that Remus was Goetz's benefactor. Not only were the candidates in disbelief, but Ebenezer, Alaric, and Iris were also dumbfounded. Alaric broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that even if Goetz didn't help outsiders, he would definitely help his benefactor. Only then did he realize how serious the situation was. Remus remained indifferent. "I'm really disappointed in the Dragon Team. Other than abusing power, what else does this organization know? A bunch of ragtag! Don't you guys feel shameless? You should just dissolve the organization!"Once again, the crowd was shocked by Remus' bluntness. Even Ebenezer felt his face burning with anger, but he couldn't voice his opinion since Goetz was here. Instantly, Goetz blushed before turning back to scold. "Alaric, you better give me an explanation! What have you been doing as the deputy leader of the Dragon Team and the examiner? You're bringing shame to the Dragon Team!" Goetz was furious. The Dragon Tea
The candidates were all transfixed by the situation, while Ike and his team almost peed their pants. Conversely, Blythe's eyes lit up as he thought that his father's advice had indeed been right. On the side, Ebenezer knew he definitely had to win over such a talent. Who knew what Remus would become in the future? So Ebenezer took the initiative to extend his hand and said seriously, "Hello, Mr. Cosby. May I sincerely invite you to join the Dragon Team? I will set up a separate area for you to serve as the deputy leader." The deputy leader position was mighty! However, Remus only chuckled because he had no intention of joining such an organization. Goetz gritted his teeth in anger. "It's all because of that bastard Rain Cosby! He made Mr. Cosby so angry that he swore never to join the Dragon Team!" Ebenezer retracted his hand and cursed, "Rain Cosby is truly a bastard!" Iris was also furious. "He deserves to die!" However, Ebenezer was a quick thinker and decided that getti
Soon, Remus and Goetz arrived at an alley in the center of Centuria. The place was heavily guarded, with armed guards stationed around the alley. There were also several powerful grandmasters hidden in the shadows.The two entered the alley and parked their car in front of a courtyard. A middle-aged man with a square face stood at the entrance, exuding an imposing aura. When Goertz and Remus got out of the car, the man immediately said in greeting, "Sir Malin."Anyone who was observant could tell that he was Hanson Baker, the leader of Centurio. Despite being called the city's leader, his status far exceeded that of Frank's. Even their future prospects were incomparable. Goetz asked solemnly, "How is Sir Baker doing?"A hint of bitterness appeared on Hanson's face as he shook his head. "Same old, same old. Sir Malin … What about the doctor that you mentioned?" He couldn't help but ask after noticing that there were no other people in the car except the driver. Goetz regained his
Remus pushed the door open and stepped in. "Go away!" As soon as the door was opened, a deafening roar came from inside. An old man, with disheveled hair and sunken eye sockets, was lying there on the bed. He was covered in blood. He looked like a madman, but beneath his two pitch-black brows were a pair of captivating eyes.It was indeed Senior Baker, Goetz' superior. He had been tied up by Hanson to prevent him from hurting himself; the injuries on his body were all self-inflicted.Senior Baker angrily shouted, "Who are you? Get out of here, or I'll kill you right away! No, I'll blast you with a cannon!"He didn't want anyone, especially outsiders, to see him in such a state.Remus walked over to him and placed his hand on his pulse, saying calmly, "If Goetz hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come even if you had a nuclear bomb."Senior Baker's eyes widened in anger, "You ... you dare to mock me, little brat? Goetz, get in here, take him away immediately, now, or I'll kill you
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
