Jake had his hand behind him as he smiled calmly. "An eye for an eye, huh? I like your personality, but did you know I've been waiting for your arrival? Descend and walk to me, step by step. And beg me to forgive you."Remus stopped and frowned at them. Marten secretly sent him over, so how did Jake find out? Could Marten have leaked his departure? As he was thinking, Master Wanfumpus scolded, "Bastard! How dare you take advantage of my body last night and even have the face to show up here? Are you looking to die so badly? Get down here and kneel before Mr. Spark! Otherwise, I'll make sure you get tortured till you wish to die!" Master Wanfumpus knew he could never defeat Remus but he still had to put on a show in front of Jake. Remus looked down at them calmly. He would never retreat, especially when this matter was related to Seraphine, who was one of his fiancees.He had no thoughts of turning back, so he took the initiative to attack. He bit his finger and prepared to fight
"Die!" Remus shouted. "What?" When he finished, three trembling voices filled with shock sounded. It came from Jake, Master Wanfumpus, and Tyrell. They widened their eyes in horror. They had secretly investigated Remus' identity before this and found that he was just a half-step that couldn't handle Elmer's punch. How could he possibly be a divine stage grandmaster in such a short time?One should also know that no one else in Darsia, other than Rafael Cosby, had achieved this stage. Tyrell instantly stopped, and there was no longer disdain in his eyes when he looked at Remus. Instead, he was horrified and wanted to run. Unfortunately, he was too late. Remus had punched his chest with no restraint. He remained silent from the beginning because he wanted to end this battle quickly.With that, Tyrell's body was thrown backward. The speed of which he was being pushed backward was faster than the speed when he had dashed toward Remus. In a blink of an eye, his body smashed into the
"I can defeat all of you using only my hands!" Remus was calm, and there was no change in his expression. Then, he exerted his force on his left hand, condensing vapor before pressing down.The 108 top grandmasters instantly felt like the sky was falling on them. They quickly raised their hands to form a barrier, causing the trees to shake.At the same time, Remus pointed his right hand to the ground. The stones on the ground started to vibrate and quickly gathered together. In a few seconds, they became a stone man that was 16 feet tall. When the 108 wizards saw that, they bit their fingers and quickly chanted. Soon, the stones on the stone man fell, but it quickly recovered itself. The process was repeated, causing the battle to be at a stalemate.Jake stood in the middle and took one step forward. Infuriated, he asked, "Remus Cosby, do you still think you can defeat me?" Remus ignored him and raised his left hand before waving it down repeatedly. His huge force smashed onto t
Jake was stupefied, and he couldn't utter a word. Looking at Remus, he felt as if his body had gone numb. After all, Jake was the wealthiest man in Darsia, so he had experienced many things in life. Suddenly, he felt that everything he had experienced in the past was never as terrifying as the man before him. It wasn't surprising if Remus could defeat Master Wanfumpus, and Jake came to accept Tyrell being defeated with one punch was not by luck.What was currently happening before him was shocking. Jake had formed the strongest team out of 108 top grandmasters and 108 top wizards in Lenzbay. This powerful team could take down a small country, but Remus defeated them all by himself.Remus asked, "You're not speaking because of him?" The only people left standing were Jake and Master Wanfumpus. Master Wanfumpus was not as arrogant as before. When he heard Remus refer to him, he quickly kneeled and even peed his pants.Then, he bowed down and begged, "No! It's not because of me. Ma
If Remus was killed, the Gracefields would not be threatened anymore. But now, they all realized how truly powerful Remus was and knew why he could survive the parliament order. Greg shuddered in fear as he said, "He's a divine stage top grandmaster and also a powerful wizard. He could defeat 216 masters with just his hands so effortlessly. How could there be such a monster in this world?" As he finished, everyone in the Gracefield shuddered in fear, thinking Remus was horrifying. Snow stared at the screen and said, "No wonder our father made that marriage agreement and said it'll give the Gracefields eternal glory." After a pause, she said, "I-If we had insisted on supporting him and never betrayed him, he would have been our loyal son-in-law." The other members of the Gracefields had the same thoughts as well. They were in deep regret as they never thought Remus would be this powerful. Greg fell to the ground in shock.Then, he said in despair, "We're doomed. The Gracefields
Remus' first target was Jake. If Jim had shown himself, Remus would have killed him. If Jim decided not to show up, he wouldn't waste any time to find him. Because right now, Seraphine's life was at stake.However, Jim came knocking on his front door. Jake shouted in panic, "Master Steele! This kid is powerful. You really shouldn't underestimate him. You have to fight him with all your power. We can't give him any chance to even breathe!" Jake had tried asking Jim for help this morning but was rejected. He never expected him to show up out of the blue, so he had to warn him of how powerful Remus was."Master Steele! This kid is terrifying. You really shouldn't underestimate him!" "Master Steele, he's talented in both wizardry and martial arts. You should be careful. He might sneak up on you!" "Master Steele, we've all been defeated by him. This is proof that you should be extra careful with him!" The 216 masters who were defeated were worried and quickly warned Jim. On the co
Jim looked indifferent, saying, "Mundane? True Life? None of that matters! We're all human! Why is it that if I'm emotional, I'm Mundane, but If I'm apathetic and pursue longevity, I'm True Life?"After a pause, he continued, "Are the people of True Life really emotionless? Are Mundanes really incapable of having a clear, peaceful mind? Of course not! What I am depends on my mood. If you really want to put a label on me, then I'm both!" "Then, I'll have a fight with a special guy like you!" When Remus finished speaking, he bit his finger and used magic. Although Jim could not do any damage by teleporting, Remus could not land a hit on him either. Remus thought about it and felt that using wizardry was the best way to defeat him. He started chanting the Order of Nine Mysticism curse. With that, there was a huge breeze, and the ocean surrounding them began to roar. The air tumbled and started to condense toward a single direction. Obviously, it was aimed at Jim. In wizardry, the
Suddenly, a huge pillar rose from the ocean, going up to as high as 300 feet. It soared in the sky and was rapidly changing. In just three seconds, it turned into a transparent body with scales, a nose, eyes, and a bloody jaw. "W-What is that?" "It's a huge snake!""No! That's Master Steele's special technique!" Everyone was stunned by what appeared before them. The people of Lenzbay looked up at the sky and were dumbfounded. Even Jake, Greg, and the 216 grandmasters were stupefied. They finally realized how much weaker they were compared to Jim. Suddenly, the snake condensed and slithered out from the pillar and opened its bloody mouth, ready to swallow Jake's villa. As the people were in shock, Remus walked in the air and pricked his finger. In the next second, Namas Valley shook, and the stones condensed in midair, stacking upon each other until it grew to 300 feet tall. At last, it turned into a shape with scales that looked alive."A snake?" That was what the people
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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
