Mily's heart still couldn't release anomalies from every incident perfectly captured by both of her eyes.
Her fingers clenched in a helpless union. She became increasingly aware that everyone had the potential to destroy themselves and what they were protecting.
"Mily..."
"Huh..."
Mily's eyes turned towards Charlotte, both of them gazed deeply at each other, but Mily's expression seemed filled with awkwardness.
"Are you okay?" Charlotte asked softly.
It took a few seconds before Mily responded, "Yes, I'm fine! I was just lost in thought..."
Charlotte couldn't just trust what she heard, clearly seeing that Mily's gaze hid something.
But here, Charlotte let it go. Her mouth spoke, "With this, victory belongs to Mr. Zeion, but his body is so exhausted that he's unconscious..."
Something quite confusi
Zeion continued to moan in pain, after all that had happened, his eyes began to blur, eventually turning everything black."Huh..." His breath caught in surprise as he opened his eyes and saw the room was just the same as before."You're awake too..." But, at this moment, Rebeca came in with some preparations as usual to check on Zeion's condition."What happened to me?" Zeion asked."I found you lying on the floor just like that, earlier..." Rebeca suddenly lost the spirit to continue her sentence after witnessing Zeion trying to get up despite his clearly not-so-good condition.Zeion's face seemed to stare at the blanket that gently wrapped around him, realizing that what had happened earlier was not just a dream.The vast world with its beautiful nature, he seemed to glide among the trees and stop at a point of light."Wouldn't it be much better if you just rested? Your body is certainly still not in good condition..." Rebeca rebuked slightly annoyed.Zeion's concentration was shat
This is truly annoying. Everyone present exchanged glances full of question marks, wondering what Zeion was really thinking to make everyone stay silent there for 10 minutes."Hmm... what should I do about this? They already seem angry, what should I say? I was so foolish to state this earlier...""Zeion, if the decision regarding the agreed-upon reward is still insufficient, is there anything that needs to be added?" Brown immediately stated this, even adding a sharp glare that emphasized the waning of time.The pressure was threatening, and Zeion's body began to shiver. But he tried to remain calm about it."Alright... I accept the offer that has been given, but I won't accept any titles. I just want to get money and freedom, for the promised rewards, I won't accept them..."Clearly, Zeion's statement surprised everyone present. It was hard for them to believe that a cocky youn
In a situation like this, Zeion no longer had a choice. His body undergoes metamorphosis in response to the surroundings, and when the attack came.Tings...A fierce collision occurred, both clashing at a point of significant power, causing a thunderous roar accompanied by waves of full force.The mysterious person's body was thrown until landing on a large tree, making them unable to move."Is this over?" Zeion couldn't believe it so easily; this could be a trick to ensnare him.But after a few moments passed, it seemed the person's body remained still.Slowly, the person seemed to attempt to stand.Swungs...Before that could happen, with a quick movement that shortened the distance, a sharp sword had already been drawn at their neck."Let's make this simple, why did you suddenly attack me?" Zeion asked with a gripping gaze.The person seemed indifferent to what Zeion said; the threat uttered seemed like a joke, even making them laugh."Answer me..." Zeion demanded."Hehehe... I hav
It had continued on the third day of Zeion's journey from Turnera, his face staring silently at the cityscape.The civilization seemed far more striking than the trees surrounding it."Should I go there or just continue?"For someone who had entered a territory before, it would be very difficult to assume that conditions there would be better. Losing the money he had earned was the worst moment, and he didn't want to experience that again at all.But...Gruu...At the precise moment, a rumble protested in his stomach; since the beginning, he hadn't eaten anything. He intentionally did this, knowing that his body would be much worse off if too sensitive to food, and his concentration would be destroyed if too focused on eating.But, once again, when hunger strikes, his body truly finds it difficult to concentrate.&nbs
"I've had enough of this, and you dare to do this to my food..."Without much thought, Zeion struck the man's face until his body slammed to the ground. Not once, but he also turned to the man in white who had gotten a hard blow to the chin.Both were sprawled in a bloody mess, their bodies difficult to move.Zeion's hand clenched tightly, and he stared at both of them. He didn't feel satisfied yet with the lesson he had given."Listen, if you still want to live, you two better leave before I shred your bodies!""You will regret doing this to me!" replied the man whose nose was bleeding from Zeion's blow.Some people began to carry them away from inside the shop, and the chaotic atmosphere gradually calmed.But because of this, Zeion certainly couldn't taste the food he had ordered."Huh... so I can no longer eat the food I want here? I guess I have to leave this place!"Resignedly, Zeion began to leave. His feet felt heavy, and the people's cynical gazes around him seemed insignifica
"Did this work?" Zeion asked himself, trying to convince the person in front of him, speaking firmly like a mature man. Thanks to his encounters with several people, they usually used a formal tone, which gave an impression of elegance.But since he uttered those words earlier, there had been no response from the man. The atmosphere continued to buzz silently with question marks.With folded hands and tightly closed eyes, there was turmoil within his mind."Hmm... very well!" he said, displaying an intimidating glare. "But can you explain why you're rejecting this offer, even though you must realize the benefits of accepting it?""I do realize that what you're doing is to ensure the continuity of this tavern, but it's too hasty. I know nothing about this town, and you surely regard me as a stranger! It would be very odd for you to easily accept me as the successor of this tavern...""Indeed, I understand that! This shop has been around for quite some time, and I'm getting older. I wou
A mysterious man, who appeared to be smiling at him, sent shivers down Zeion's body with the curve of his lips."I'm impressed that you're able to defeat these people!" he said in a casual tone.Zeion's eyes narrowed as he threw his words, "What do you want? And who are you?""Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zin! I am a member of the White Fang clan..."After hearing the word 'clan', Zeion became even warier. It was evident the presence of this person did not bode well.A sudden gust of wind touched Zeion's ears as if suggesting he should leave. However, it was not easy to do so; he still had to engage in conversation with that person before he could leave."So, what's your business here?" Zeion asked firmly.Zin chuckled at this firm attitude, his narrow eyes combined with a smirk creating a threatening atmosphere.
"How could this happen, why was your daughter arrested by those people?" Zeion hurriedly asked the question.The response given by the tavern owner was certainly not as enthusiastic as his own, his face still covered in beads of sweat with an empty-eyed gaze. His hand continued to rub his throbbing head.But he still said, "They came, then they acted roughly, Amy tried to stop them, but she ended up receiving rough treatment, they also destroyed this place and left a message that if you don't come soon, they will kill Amy..."Zeion's body felt as if it were being crawled over by tiny ants spreading throughout his body."So, this is what the message from those people meant!" Zeion stood up with a serious expression, his eyes staring off into a corner room while contemplating what treatment Amy might have received."Sir..."The old man's hand grasped his, stari
Desmon increasingly felt as if his body was permeated by an energy flow that was difficult to explain. He didn't receive any explanation from Zero. However, that wouldn't make him just sit alone. He focused the energy in his right hand and delivered a deadly blow.Dash...The attack hit Zero's face perfectly. Although the blow landed heavily on his face, Zero's body remained unmoved."I can touch him, that means he has summoned energy within his body to sustain this!" The more Desmon realized this, the stronger the energy's presence that permeated his body became. Desmon took the opportunity and kept hitting Zero's face until it bled, but still couldn't make Zero flinch.However, one sharp glance immediately sent shivers down Desmon's spine. The deadly gaze signaled imminent death that seemed to penetrate his body."Wait, what's happening? Why are you staring at me like that?" Desmon asked, still assuming Zero wouldn't respond to his words.And a few moments later, his hands and mouth
At the peak of cultivation, Zero had developed various ways to deal with the formidable powers that could threaten the world, and this was the point where he had to exert all his available energy. He knew it might be impossible, but his perseverance had shown terrifying results.He had mastered almost all elements, and now all elements seemed to want to be on his side.Quickly, Zero attacked, merely raising his right finger, accompanied by a strong wind that condensed into a whirlwind.Desmon's body was immediately struck by the wind, but his legs were still steady to withstand it. Some gravel and rocks aimed at him, but they weren't too important. His body was still protected by an energy shield.Crash...Unfortunately, the desired shield didn’t have resistance against the wind used by Zero."Cih... Groagh..." He immediately responded with a loud roar, the power of sound frequency capable of piercing through anything.Some rocks had formed a barrier to deflect the attack towards Zero
"Nah... Zero..." Zeion interjected during their ongoing training, they often had such small conversations."Yeah, what do you want to say?" Zero asked, sensing Zeion's seriousness."I've noticed that you have high abilities, and usually those with high abilities are afraid or even defeated when faced with pure energy!""Hmmm..." After humming, he chuckled satisfactorily at that question. "Indeed, pure energy is the greatest power in this world!"Zeion sighed, feeling that Zero's words didn't reveal any superiority of pure energy, rather they seemed to consider pure energy as something impossible to achieve."I'll tell you, the power within your body is not the most important thing! In this world, there are many powers capable of balancing pure energy, even stronger!"This knowledge was something Zeion had never imagined; all this time, many people had been afraid to acknowledge pure energy, and many had fought over it like children fighting over toys.Zero wasn't finished yet. He cont
The sting delivered was not just a mere attack; it had caused quite severe effects, to the point where Desmond's breath became irregular."You bastard, he's capable of launching such an attack against me! Why am I completely unable to defeat him?" He tried to observe Zero, who was still surrounded by white energy.Despite possessing pure energy, Desmond felt that Zero's energy was more dominant. The mysterious pressure even caused his entire body to continue trembling uncontrollably.However, it was impossible for Desmond to surrender at a time like this. He dispersed high-level energy, then quickly dashed towards Zero.Thud...The ground trembled; the deathly aura-filled blows could easily be held back. But it wasn't just about holding back; it also created a large gap instantly.Swoosh...Dash...Hard-hitting and impactful blows landed on Desmond's cheek. Unwilling to accept this, Desmond quickly attempted to reply.Swish...Unfortunately, the strength he used was still too early to
Gulp...Nothing could stop Desmon; Zeion's heart had successfully entered his body. Swallowed without any difficulty."Hooh..." The immense power immediately flowed into his body, he could go wild with this strength. "Hahaha... finally, I have become unbeatable! I will dominate this world as the strongest creature..."Tap!This knock was strange, and when he looked, Desmon didn't know why there was a stranger already there, lamenting over Zeion's powerless body."Who is this person? When did he get there? I didn't feel any energy inside his body at all...""Hah... I suspected you still weren't capable of merging with that pure energy!" Zero arrived as soon as Zeion lost the essence of power within Desmon's soul, although faintly, he could still sense it.Just from appearance alone, Desmon could tell that Zero wasn't like Zeion; the energy he possessed was almost invisible."Oi, human, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?" Desmon was still kind enough to ask, but he was actua
Dash! Dash! Dash!Their faces were bruised and blue, but their legs still managed to stand tall with the same gaze. Challenging and enticing with death."I never imagined that my strength would be drained facing lowly humans like you!""Do you still consider me a lowly human?" Zeion asked, his eyebrows narrowing, an expression he had restrained since earlier, but now he seemed fed up with Desmon's attitude.Desmon proudly smiled, successfully provoking Zeion's emotions. "I thought your emotions had vanished, but it seems you are still just a fragile human! Let me tell you, humans are too arrogant, always thinking their lives are truly filled with righteousness, but in reality, they are nothing but weak creatures who always oppress the weak! They are not worthy of living in this world..."Zeion didn't understand Desmon's purpose in saying this, but he would still say, "Yes, what you said is true, humans are too arrogant! I was surrounded by people who were too arrogant before, even bor
"I hope you will succeed in doing it!" Zero said, looking ahead. Earlier, he had only briefly spoken with Zeion. But now, only the silent wind accompanied him.With his increasingly wild pure energy, Zeion controlled everything very well. He soared through the air like a bullet, heading towards a point. The increasing energy felt threatening, and as soon as he arrived, as expected.Many people lying in pain, though unseen, the pain they caused was still visible."Hahahaha..." Desmon laughed satisfactorily, but also felt a chill at Zeion's appearance. The aura of majesty sent shivers down his spine, however this sensation was what he desired."Were you the kid from back then?" he asked, his tone intimidating."Yes, the kid you've been targeting for so long, sorry to keep you waiting!""Good, you understand! Pure energy is a power that should rightfully belong to someone great, and the most deserving to possess it is me...""Does it really have to be that way?" Zeion asked, still wearin
This bright light shone on Desmon's body, his eyes still trying to observe his surroundings, attempting to digest the situation that was happening."What are these three going to do? They were just standing still earlier, and now suddenly they're moving!" Desmon then realizes that his body is beginning to harden, his entire body slowly turning to stone, he watches as everything unfolds."You scoundrels, so this is what you planned! How dare you do this to me..." he says loudly.It's pointless; these three won't be afraid or back down; now all processes must be completed immediately. The power begins to spread to every joint, making their bodies increasingly difficult to move."Sleep there, and never return to this world, demon..." Houjin says in his heart, already too sick to witness Desmon's every action.Tap...Unfortunately, Desmon is too skilled to be conquered. Rather than lamenting the fate that awaits him, Desmon instead exerted his energy to charge at one of the hermits, aimin
Yelia's eyes couldn't blink, finding it hard to believe this was all real. The figure that should have been dead from her attack seemed to return, this time floating without any effort."It's impossible. The attack I used earlier should have succeeded in destroying his body, but why is he still free to do as he wants"The most logical answer had crossed her mind; it was a manifestation of Desmon's greatness.Right within the space that was supposed to lead to the realm of torment, Desmon rebelled, causing his immense energy to disrupt the existence of that energy, finally resulting in his current state.But...He landed on the ground again, this time assuming a satisfied stance with what had just occurred. Though only for a few moments, his body was already covered in several burns; the hellish realm he referred to quickly took effect on whoever entered it."That was close. If I were weaker, the chances of getting out would be impossible! But thanks to you, I've become more experience
