Remus said he had killed three of the experts in Sakurasom, so Peter instantly knew he was. At that moment, Peter was in deep regret. If he knew the person who came was Remus Cosby, he wouldn't have stayed.Peter had observed Remus' combat skills and discovered he was already a powerful man when he was a half-step, not to mention now that he was at the divine stage. It was impossible for him to fight Remus. Their powers were worlds apart, but it was too late now. Remus stepped on his head and said, "This is your last chance." Horrified, Peter broke down and gave it all out. "I'll speak! I'll tell you. Gabriela isn't dead. We took her back after capturing her—" "Gabriela isn't dead? Where is she now?" Remus widened his eyes in shock. He felt relieved after hearing the news, happy that Gabriela was still alive.Peter quickly replied, "After we took her back, we sent her to Rhys Schwartz. He felt that Gabriela must have had a lot of luck since she was able to become a war goddess.
The same news was sent back to Darsia, and the Darsians were excited. "Someone stood up and took revenge for the war goddess! He killed Vincent Futan, thousands of warriors, and also the experts. Not only that, he's not done!" "Oh my! When did we have such a talented man in Darsia? He's amazing. Kill those Sakurasons!" "He's my idol! Let's see how those Sakurasons react!" "Darsia will win! I believe that man is the guardian of Darsia!" Meanwhile, back in the parliament, Lincoln reported, "We're unable to track down Remus. Peter Golonza went missing with him. We've arranged for our men in Sakurasom to keep on searching. For now, there are no further updates. If my guess is right, he should be heading back." Kaiser nodded in satisfaction. Then, he frowned. "How are the soldiers?""Everything is in place! The missile is aimed toward Sakurasom. With your command, the jets will fly over, and the submarines will move toward Sakurasom. All the soldiers are ready for battle!" Ka
The man with the beard almost fainted and quickly retreated back to the back hall. Panicked, he said, "Master Rhys, he's here!" Rhys was calm and maintained his posture. He looked at Remus and wasn't familiar with him. Then, he looked at Peter, which almost caused Peter to faint. Without hesitation, Peter kneeled before him and cried, "Master Rhys, I didn't mean to disturb your peace. I can't fight him. He's in the divine stage! He threatened me to take him here. I'm sorry. Please forgive me!" Peter didn't want to die. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Remus here. Rhys was shocked for a short second before quickly returning to calmness. He was only at the pinnacle stage in True Life. He said calmly, "Sakurasom doesn't need a coward like you. Even if we're on the brink of death, we should never admit to defeat. Since you brought him here, you should die." Then, he waved his hand, and a sword appeared out of thin air. Rhys grabbed it and pointed it between Peter's brows. Pete
"People of Sakurasom, I, the Onmyoji, have come to save you! Come out from your houses!" Rhys' voice wasn't loud, but it spread across the entire country. In a few seconds, everyone opened their windows and looked out in fear. When they saw the person in the sky, they were shocked. The people of Sakurasom prayed to the ghost, and there was only Sayard Shrine in this city. Many of them have seen Rhys, so they believed he owned the shrine and was a normal human. So how could he stand in the air? It was unbelievable. Remus frowned and looked up. He didn't understand what Rhys was doing. If Gabriela was dead, he would've just killed him. But things have changed. Remus had to ensure Gabriela's safety so he couldn't act recklessly. At that moment, it seemed Rhys had forgotten about Remus. He raised his hand and said arrogantly, "My people, Sakurasom is a country with a long history, and we once conquered Darsia."After a pause, he said, "Lowly Darsians can only be our servants! They
When the people of Sakurasom saw this, they all gasped in shock. Usually, they would only meet warriors or assassins. This was their first time seeing an Onmyoji fighting. The hope in their eyes intensified as they were in awe of Rhys' technique. Remus had no intention of retreating. Instead, he rushed toward Rhys who was talking. Remus gathered all of his energy in his fist and punched Rhys. However, Rhys vanished. It turned out it was fake. Remus could feel he was hitting the air, and to avoid backlash, he rushed forward a hundred yards before stopping."What a fool," Rhys said. This time, it was the seven figures speaking at the same time. They all looked at Remus with contempt in their eyes.Then, they sneered. "Lowly Darsian, do you know the difference between Mundanes and True Life? Let me tell you. The divine stage is the maximum limit of humans. No matter how hard they try to advance, that's all they can reach." He paused before saying, "To break free from the shackles
"Close!" Rhys shouted. Immediately, the black web shrunk and trapped Remus inside. Remus struggled and exerted all his force, but the web was too stretchy. He could only stretch it out but could not break it apart. The people of Sakurasom cheered loudly, and some even cried tears of joy. Moments ago, none dared to step out of their houses because they were scared of Remus. But seeing as how Rhys was able to capture him effortlessly with just a few moves, they realized that Remus had no chance of escaping. "It's useless for you to struggle. I've said it before, you're a piece of cake. No matter what you do, you can never escape from me! Shadow power! Burn!" With that said, the web started to burn, and smoke billowed. The people could hear the sound of burning skin, which was horrifying. Unexpectedly, Rhys sighed. The people were shocked to see his reaction, thinking he should be excited about Remus' death. Then, he said, "How could such a lowly Darsian kill our people? What
Rhys decided not to hold back anymore. He had to use the quickest way to kill Remus and get back his dignity. Once again, he summoned the seven figures, and they seemed fiercer than before. Now, seven black clothes appeared in their hands, and they were as dark as the midnight sky.When the black cloth appeared, they seemed to have absorbed the light of the entire city, putting them in total darkness. The people of Sakurasom were terrified. Remus remained indifferent as he watched the black cloth being thrown toward him. It was because he had a sudden realization. What would happen if he attacked them with magic and martial arts? So Remus stood in place and was quickly devoured by the black clothes. They wrapped onto him, layer after layer. In a short second, Remus was gone. Rhys shouted, "Shadow power! Burn!" Intense smoke billowed, and sparks flew. Once again, the people of Sakurasom saw hope. They started at the fire while Rhys sneered. "Let's see what he can do now!" "I
The spirit energy in Remus' body increased, and the flames grew stronger. Then, something happened that made everyone in Sakurasom fall into despair. The seven black swords broke and turned into dust. "Bastard!" Rhys widened his eyes in shock. He could feel a buzz in his mind. How could Remus break his golden stage spirit energy? It just wasn't possible! "W-who is he?" "Master Rhys! Can you do it or not?""He's a true divine being! Darsian, please forgive us!" The people of Sakurasom wanted to run but were too scared. They were disappointed in Rhys and stopped supporting him. Instead, they kneeled to the ground and begged for Remus' forgiveness. "Time to end this!" Remus ignored their cries and turned his attention to Rhys. He focused all his divine energy in his fist and activated the ultrasonic boom. Panic flashed across Rhys' eyes, aware that Remus could easily kill him with that punch. After all, he was a divine stage in martial arts. Finally, Rhys was horrified by how
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
