Shen Tao allowed the bear to pummel him.

Instead, he quickly focused his attention on Darrin.

“You wretched youth, do you think you can deceive me with your cheap tricks?” Saying this, Shen Tao harnessed his inner power, nearly reaching its peak, then swiftly directed it toward Darrin’s ribs.

Woosh!

The blow narrowly missed its target as Darrin swiftly pulled back his body.

“Huh, I admit you are impressive! But that doesn’t mean you can defeat me!” Unlike the old man, Darrin displayed a smile and a mocking expression on his face, as if he intended to toy with the old man.

“Don’t get too happy yet!”

Punch!

Punch!

Punch!

The old man used both his fists, attacking the vital points on Darrin’s body.

In less than a second, Shen Tao had landed more than ten strikes.

“Hahaha! Are you too scared to fight me? Come on, try hitting me back if you can! Don’t keep dodging like a coward!”

Shen Tao thought that Darrin did not have enough strength to retaliate.

“This young man seems to only rely on h

    The closer Shen Tao’s steps were to Darrin, the greater the excitement that grew in his heart.Imagining that he would gain immense inner power made him eager to immediately drain Darrin’s energy.Shen Tao pulled Darrin up until the young man’s body, which was lying on the floor, was lifted into the air. “Hehehe! You’re someone who’s skilled at playing magic tricks, aren’t you? How about now I play a real trick on you?”Shen Tao placed one of his hands on Darrin’s head.A second later, he saw the young man’s body tremble violently, just like what happened to William and Max earlier, and then white smoke rose from his hair.Soon after, he saw the young man’s body dry up and turn black before collapsing to the floor.“Hahaha! I have become very strong, the strongest in Starlight! Who dares to stop me now? Even that beautiful girl will kneel before me!”Shen Tao felt immense joy filling every cavity of his chest.However, there was something he found a little strange.“But, why don’t I f

    Darrin let one of Shen Tao’s punches almost hit his chest, then quickly placed his left palm to block the punch.Bang!Darrin’s left side was pushed back slightly by the blow. However, this was exactly what he anticipated.He then used his right fist to clash with Shen Tao’s left hand.Boom!This time, the old man was thrown back rapidly, crashing through several walls behind him.Darrin remained standing in his place, while Shen Tao lay on the floor, his chest feeling shattered.The old man’s entire body became difficult to move. Not only because he had used his inner power to the limit, but also because it felt like he was struck by his own inner power.“W-what exactly did you do?” Shen Tao asked with difficulty as he saw Darrin approaching him.“I used your own inner power against you!”Darrin employed a technique he found in the martial arts book Heaven and Earth. It’s known as the borrowing technique, where Darrin would absorb his opponent’s inner power with one part of his body

    Not far from there, just after Darrin had left Robert's presence, someone suddenly appeared out of the void.He pulled out his phone and typed a brief message.“The Bennett family and the lecherous old man have been defeated!”Immediately after sending the text, the man hurried towards the civilians who were about to be evacuated and mingled with them.After a long and exhausting day, everyone had finally returned to their homes. They hoped this was the end of their nightmare, the end of the chaos that had plagued Starlight in the past few weeks. Of course, this was because they now had someone they could rely on, and that was Darrin, their new mayor.That night, wearing only a thin shirt and shorts, Darrin leaned back in a chair on the third-floor balcony of the Lunaria Palace, his new favorite spot.After spending almost the entire day taking care of people, especially the senators who were shocked by Shen Tao and his men’s arrival, Darrin could finally relax for a moment.“I don’t

    In a pub on the outskirts of a city."Bro, I'm feeling down! My girlfriend left for the capital this afternoon!"A man in his early thirties with shoulder-length hair was pouring out his troubles while guzzling from a bottle."Come on! Don’t think too much about it! Didn't you say she went to find a better job? You should be supporting her in times like this!"His bald-headed friend encouraged him.The long-haired man gave a bitter smile. "Huh, that's what I wanted to tell you, bro! Turns out she didn’t go to look for a job! She has another boyfriend there! She left to follow him!""What did you say? You’re not joking, are you?" The bald man’s eyes widened. He wouldn’t have believed his friend’s girlfriend would cheat unless he heard it from his friend himself."But wasn’t she always faithful to you, bro!""She’s not what she seems! She always puts on a sweet face in front of me! Behind my back, it’s a different story!"They continued talking late into the night. The pub, which had be

    Moonhaven. A city neighboring Starlight, located directly to the north. Although not as expansive as Starlight, it had a comparable standard of living: easy jobs and safe residential areas. However, the accidents of the past month had made Thomas Caldwell, the mayor, very uneasy. "This is the thirtieth victim since the first one was found!" A police officer zipped up the body bag containing two men who had died with their bodies dry and charred. "Chief, what do you think the motive and method of the perpetrator are?" The short, stout man, no more than 160 cm tall, displayed a tense expression. As the highest authority in Moonhaven, this case was nearly driving him mad. The Moonhaven police chief took a deep breath. "My team and I are still investigating, Mr. Caldwell." Thomas was dissatisfied with this answer. He wanted to pressure the chief to find evidence quickly, even apprehend the culprit. However, before he could open his mouth, his phone rang. "Hello, Mr. Caldwell." A voi

    "Ah, I understand!" Darrin simply smiled at Thomas's response, not feeling angry or offended by his attitude in the slightest."You can wait here; I'll inform him of your arrival.""Good, hurry up!"Darrin exited his office and headed to the room next door.Knock-knock!"Julian, am I interrupting you?"The young man, focused on his computer screen, quickly stood up from his chair."Lord Carson, is there a problem? You can call me if you need anything, and I'll come to your office immediately!""There's no pressing issue with me, but the mayor of Moonhaven seems to want to speak with you."Julian furrowed his brow. "I instructed the receptionist to bring him to your office, Lord Carson. Why does he want to meet me?"Julian had contacted Thomas at Darrin's request. "Are you sure he wants to meet with me?" Julian looked at Darrin again.The mayor simply nodded. "Of course!"Darrin then walked ahead, followed by Julian. However, before they entered the room, Darrin's phone rang. "You go i

    "What?"Thomas could hardly breathe due to the shock."He is Lord Carson?"When he remembered what he had just done to the young man, his face turned very red with embarrassment and regret."Lord Carson…" Thomas immediately dropped to the floor, kneeling towards Darrin. "I have been truly foolish! Forgive my rudeness and impudence! I should have recognized it was you!"Thomas kept his head bowed, deeply regretting his foolishness. Not only had he failed to appreciate Darrin's kindness, but he had also been rude and yelled at the lord, even though he was the one in need of help."I will not make any excuses," Thomas continued. "I am willing to accept any punishment you deem fit!"Thomas had come here to seek Darrin's help. Instead of acting and speaking kindly, he had belittled the young lord. If Darrin refused to forgive him, Thomas would never forgive himself.On the other hand, Darrin just smiled. He understood Thomas' anxiety, causing the mayor of Moonhaven to be a bit impatient."

    That afternoon, Darrin set off for the town of Moonhaven, located about 200 miles north of Starlight. From Starlight, it took about five hours to reach it.Darrin intentionally took the bus because he didn't want anyone to know about his arrival.As he had told Thomas, he suspected that the real perpetrator was someone close to the middle-aged man. By keeping his identity and his arrival a secret, his hope was that the perpetrator would not pay attention to him.On the bus that would take him to Moonhaven, Darrin continuously reviewed the data of the victims one by one.After reading the data, one thing made him curious."But why were all these victims killed not far from the Riverside district?"Moonhaven is divided into six districts, with Riverside being the farthest from the city center and located at the border between Moonhaven and a town in another province.The city is famous for its traditional culture and atmosphere. Among all the places in this town, Riverside district is t

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Chapter 342 - Finding the Vial

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    Chapter 337 - The Unexpected Appearance

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
