Remus narrowed his eyes. "How dare you threaten me!"Horrified, Master Wanfumpus quickly waved his hands. "No! Master Cosby, I've never thought about threatening you. I-I'm just trying to get your favor. I want to live! Please don't kill me!" Remus' current state wasn't great, but Master Wanfumpus dared not resist him even though he could feel that Remus was about to faint from exhaustion. Remus looked over at Jake and felt it was too easy to kill him so simply. So he said, "What are your plans?" Master Wanfumpus saw a glimmer of hope and said, "We'll treat him the way he treated others. We can take out his Luck and put it on you. He will never be able to go to heaven, and he'll rot in hell. It would be a good punishment." Luck was like a blessing that had different meanings to many. Some felt lucky to have wealth, while others were happy to be surrounded by family. Many were fated to be lucky, while some acquired Luck through their actions. Remus wasn't excited about that i
When Remus nodded, Master Wanfumpus started the curse and began chanting. Suddenly, a white mist appeared around Jake's body. It rose slowly, and soon, it was as thick as half a person's height.Remus couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. He didn't believe Master Wanfumpus could actually do what he said. After all, Remus had never heard of such a thing, and neither did his master talk about it. The mist that transferred out of Jake's body was indeed divine energy. It was quite thick. Otherwise, it wouldn't have condensed. Moreover, it was much more than what Remus had tried to absorb in Neptuna. Without hesitation, Remus quickly absorbed it. The whole process took five minutes, and Remus' complexion became ruddy by the end of it. He could feel the divine energy settling in his body, similar to what his mother had given him. Master Wanfumpus wiped away his sweat and smiled. "I couldn't believe we could convert his Luck into so much divine energy. After all, he was a guy who
Master Wanfumpus was taken aback, looking distressed. According to the Shadowhaven Hall rules, only disciples who had joined for 30 years had access to this knowledge. It would be treachery to the organization if he told Remus. "You're not going to tell me?" Remus asked. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you now." Master Wanfumpus shrunk his head before continuing, "The sword curse is guided by a curse, using—" Remus thought about it and used the spell on Master Wanfumpus. Immediately, mist flowed from his body. It was a tiny amount compared to Jake. Still, it really was divine energy. Master Wanfumpus panicked when he saw the mist being transferred out of his body. It was just divine energy to Remus, but to Master Wanfumpus, that was his Luck. It was crucial for his survival. How could Remus take it out so casually?Immediately, Master Wanfumpus kneeled and begged, "Master Cosby, please forgive me. You're a talented man, a powerful talent! Please don't take my luck from me. I'll be
"If he doesn't return today, we'll continue waiting. No matter how long it takes!" "We'll all die in four days anyway! Do you think we care about how long we kneel?" The Gracefields spoke up. Seraphine felt distressed. She might be angry at their actions, but they are still her relatives. "Why don't you guys believe me? Remus has no intention of hurting any of you. He was just trying to scare you. Even if you don't believe Remus, you should believe me. I'm telling the truth, so get up." Seraphine persuaded. Still, the Gracefields were stubborn. They insisted on kneeling, believing that Remus wanted them dead and Master Wanfumpus, whom Jake brought over, wanted to save them. The reason Remus went to Lenzbay was because he was mad. He would come back and kill them all after that. Seraphine was on the verge of tears. She tried a different way to persuade them. "Dad, you don't look so good. If you continue to kneel, you'll fall sick. Please get up. Trust me, I'll persuade Remus
"The Gracefields have no successors because everyone's luck was absorbed by that Lucky Apple. It was Jake Sparks' plan all this time," Remus explained. He paused before saying, "Right now, Jake's luck is falling rapidly. Find a way to take away the Sparks' luck from him and turn it into your lifespan. You have to do it as soon as possible."Or else the Sparks will soon be wiped out, and it would be impossible for all of you to live. Go and find him now. Do you understand?" Jake is the leader of the Sparks. If something happened to him, his family would go down with him. Still, the Gracefields did not believe a word Remus said. As the Lucky Apple was blessed by Master Sandoval, they didn't believe Master Sandoval would hurt them. They were sure it was Ned Reese's plan to ensure his son was able to get the Gracefields' inheritance. After that incident, Remus came back to take revenge on the Gracefields, and Master Sandoval came to save them. The Gracefields believed Remus would
Valerie gritted her teeth. "Remus, I know it's hard for you to accept it but it's the truth. The president is having a meeting with the members of the parliament. The War Goddess sacrificed herself for the country." Remus still couldn't accept it. He scolded, "Bullshit! You're the one who's dead! Where is she?" Valerie wasn't scared. She stepped forward, closing the distance between them before saying, "Remus, I know it's hard but you have to stay strong. I'm her lieutenant on the battlefield. Why would I joke about this? She … She has really left us!"As she finished speaking, the villa door was opened. Jean rushed out in panic, with Kylie and Miranda following behind. They quickly ran over to Remus and said anxiously, "Remus, the news … The War Goddess was killed at Lugio Island." Remus snatched over the phone and saw the news. The bright red headlines read. "War Goddess sacrificed herself for the sake of the country on the battlefield!" Following that, the article wrote. "G
On the other side, the sky started to brighten up. Remus stood on the viewing dock facing Lugio Island. That was where Gabriela used to stand. The dock was still there, but she was gone. The ocean breeze fluttered his clothes. He had spoken to the underworld guards, but they couldn't find any information about Gabriela as she didn't die in Darsia. "What happened?" Remus asked without any emotion. Valerie stood behind him and explained, "It's just like what the news reported. The War Goddess crossed Sakurasom's border and was killed—" "That's not right!" Remus interrupted her before continuing, "Gabriela is a pinnacle top grandmaster, and she's an experienced war commander. She wouldn't have made such a rookie mistake. Even so, she would have had a chance to escape."Remus paused before saying, "There's only one possibility. The other party had every corner trapped, waiting for her to fall into it." That was what had been going through Remus' mind as they came over to Lugio I
"Yes," Remus gave a concise reply.Kaiser replied, "Sakurasom might be a tiny country, but there are many experts hidden there. It's too risky. We're expediting the investigation to find out why the War Goddess crossed the borders." After a pause, he continued, "We believe it's a trap. Once the investigation is done, Darsia will declare war with Sakurasom. Please wait until we get things straight." Darsia would never sit back and wait. Gabriela was their one and only war goddess. She was the war department's belief and the citizens' hero. They had to avenge her."You can declare war, but I'll take revenge myself. These are two different things," Remus answered.Kaiser was silent for a moment before saying, "If you go, there's a chance you won't return.""I'm willing to put my life on the line!" Remus said before ending the call and leaping toward Sakurasom.Valerie stared at Remus' leaving figure and panicked. This situation was different from what she had predicted. She thoug
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
