It was a sharp and unbearable pain. Most people would have stopped fighting, but Ulmer had the experience of fighting for decades before he came to this city of systems. He had suffered through many life-ending injuries, so losing an eye was nothing much compared to when he was swallowed by a hydra monster or when he got bitten by a giant crocodile monster.Ulmer’s instinctive response was not to cower in pain but to deliver a counter blow to his opponent.And Ulmer pulled his fist all the way to the back of his head before making it fly toward the opponent.“I can see it coming even with my eyes closed,” Vincent moved his body out of the way, but Ulmer’s fist changed direction midway and pounded his face, punching its way through the invisible barrier system and striking his nose.Vincent’s nose got crushed, and he was sent flying into the wall like a missile. The walls got completely destroyed, and Vincent entered the rest rooms that were under the audience stands.Ulmer stood tall,
Brianna wished that Vincent would deal with the Knight Beater so that she wouldn’t have to fight him. It wasn’t that she was afraid of him, but she didn’t want to reveal her abilities during this competition while everyone was watching.It would do her more harm than good, after all.Ulmer, on the other hand, was walking toward Vincent who raised his right hand high and created a giant silver blue spherical energy ball in which there was a lot of electrical energy swirling through it. The spherical energy looked like the moon itself because it had such a cool glow that was able to lit up the whole colosseum and miles of region all around.Despite the barrier put up by the royal knights, the audience could feel the chilling energy coming from this electrical sphere.“What is this energy?” Mirianne wrapped her arms around her chest because she felt very cold. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” She could feel the tips of her hair freezing. “It’s very dangerous.”“It must be the Moon Sys
Ulmer didn’t want to reveal his abilities as it might give away that he was the one who had caused trouble in many districts.Just by giving away the fact that he could create clones was risking it, so he didn’t want to do more.He wanted to save everything at least until he would fight the one he came to this country for.So, Ulmer very much wanted to defeat Vincent without using any of the great, active abilities he had earned through his clones. But he also could feel the immense power coming from this energy sphere that Vincent had created. What could Vincent possibly do with such a thing other than to cause a major explosion, Ulmer wondered.Just then, Vincent released glowing blue chains of lightning that flew toward Ulmer like living snakes.Ulmer jumped around and dodged from them as he moved all around the battle grounds. He purposely went toward the nobles. Hessia and Felix were able to dodge the chains, but many nobles couldn’t. They were caught in the mouths of these snake
While many people were anxiously or excitedly watching Ulmer getting shocked and burned inside the ethereal energy sphere, Oscar was eating salted peanuts. “Mm… I wonder how he’s going to get out of that. It won’t be easy even for me.”Neodus was grinning. “Yeah. This is what I wanted to see. Roast that bastard to death.” He was already planning on taking all of Ulmer’s possessions after his death, so he was loving what he was seeing. (I’m sure he has many systems in his possession. I’ll take the two most important systems and then give the rest to Vincent. That should keep him satisfied.)Neodus knew that Vincent wouldn’t protest against that because Vincent wanted to become the emperor next. Compared to becoming the emperor, losing a couple of systems was nothing, especially because he would get his hands on the legendary Emperor System, which was passed down only to the emperors of Syslon.“I can hear his cries, Son,” Regina snickered. “Make that bastard cry even louder so I can he
Vincent was not expecting Ulmer to do something as ridiculous as swallowing all of his ethereal energy sphere and then vomit it back at him.Because Ulmer spat out all that energy, it came with enough force to destroy even a thick diamond wall, but Vincent instinctively raised his hand and blocked it with his fist which had many rings.The silvery ring on his forefinger shone and absorbed all the energy that came at Vincent.As a result, nothing happened.“Wow,” everyone looked amazed, and many people clapped in excitement and awe.But neither Vincent nor Ulmer were in the mood to feel the crowd. They were in their own world, where they were looking for ways to defeat the other person. To be exact, Vincent was looking to kill, whereas Ulmer was looking to just defeat his current opponent and then move onto the next one.Ulmer believed that defeating the best young talent in the kingdom was necessary to prove a point. He had already told everyone that he was going to win, and his life
Vincent flew straight down toward Ulmer like a thunderbolt. “Celestial Punch!”Ulmer almost punched at the opponent, shouting, “Spirit Breaker!”Vincent’s fist released an energy that vibrated and exploded like a bomb that could destroy everything around, including even the bacteria in the air. However, Ulmer’s fist blasted its way through Vincent’s attack and struck his face, crushed his face and flattened it as Vincent got sent flying like a dart into the distance.Vincent’s body burst through the barrier put up by the royal knights and kept flying farther than people’s eyes could see.The faces of everybody froze in utter silence as nobody had expected to see something like this right after Vincent had released his Celestial Lion mode, something which everybody in the nation feared because of its reputation.A bright golden energy was covering Ulmer’s fist.“What’s that energy cloaking his fist?” Hessia frowned. “It is golden? I’ve never seen anything like that.”The energy around
“I might not remember you, but I’ll do you a favor and end this quickly!” Brianna dashed toward Ulmer and swiftly attacked him with her twin crystal white daggers. “Phantom Raze!”Her dagger motion was extremely smooth and did not stop for a second as she spun on her toes like a marvelous dancing belle and went for vital spots.She did not have a single wasted movement. She was like a master of dagger arts, and her skills were good enough to impress every knight that was witnessing her right now.However, despite how swiftly and slickly she was moving like an expert assassin at work, Ulmer was able to barely keep himself out of her dagger range.His movements reminded everyone how he avoided Vincent’s attacks only a minute ago. He moved his whole body as one and did not make any exaggerated movements. He made just enough movement to perfectly dodge Brianna’s attacks. His center of mass stayed very stable throughout. His fighting style was completely different from Brianna.Brianna see
“Dark Dagger Strike!” Brianna threw a dagger first to get Ulmer’s attention, and she secretly released the second dagger in a curving manner, controlling its trajectory with the help of a string.The dagger flew like a lightning bolt and nearly struck Ulmer’s temple.Ulmer managed to catch the dagger at the last second. His hand started bleeding. “That was close. How did you control the dagger midway?”Brianna flicked the string, which sent a pulse of energy along the string.Ulmer still didn’t notice the string, but he felt the noise of the vibration passing through the string. He instinctively tossed the dagger away, and it immediately exploded.“Damn,” Ulmer frowned as he deflected the pieces of the dagger that came flying at him. “The dagger blasted into pieces? What sort of magic is this?”Brianna formed two new daggers and threw them at him. “Infinite Parallel Claw!”The daggers suddenly multiplied in number and became hundreds as they all zoomed in on him.Ulmer immediately pun

A few months later.Ben and Amelie not only started their business together but also got married, and Ivy as usual caused a lot of noise during the marriage, asking Ross Richard to give her son this and that.Ross had to give in to her demands because of his daughter Amelie.Ivy’s brother took some gold from her and started a restaurant business because Ulmer had commanded him to stop his finance business as he was sucking people’s blood with it. His wife didn’t like it and went back to her home, but she would eventually return to his side a few years later, after her mother would die.Rick Orsini’s right-hand man, Lexor, was sitting alone on the rooftop of a big hotel, reading the online news on his tablet.“Someone called Urban God joined the Underworld Kings competition?” Lexor raised his eyebrows. “If he’s the real deal, no one will be able to stop him.”Underworld Kings was a world-wide martial arts competition where people with all kinds of superpowers competed, with loose rule
“Your wife?!”“That girl who looks younger than Ruth is your wife?” Ivy quickly said. “Are you out of your mind, Ulmer?”“She’s 19,” Ulmer coldly glanced at her. “So, what’s the problem?”“T-That’s…” Ivy found her throat shaking. His gaze felt intimidating. “I-Isn’t there too much age gap between you two?”“What bullshit are you saying, Ivy?” Mollie snorted. “My grandson is not even thirty, and you say there’s an age gap? Can’t you see that they both look nice next to one another? Also, it’s actually nice if there's a five to six year gap between the husband and wife.”Mollie gently held Ayana’s cheeks and lifted up her head.“Where did you hide such a pretty girl all this time from us, Ulmer?” Mollie said. “You will get punished for this later.”“Ulmer always talks greatly about you, Grandmother,” Ayana said. “So, please forgive him this once.”“Hahaha,” Mollie laughed heartily. “Your wife is already defending you so much, Ulmer. She’s not just beautiful but also smart. I think it’s
The news of so many Thorns dying did not get leaked in the underworld, much less to the common public.However, some of the topdogs in the underworld eventually heard of the heart-shaking news that more than half of the thorns died in the hands of someone called the Urban God.And the title Urban God started to be feared by those who have heard about it.Also, a new bounty appeared on the Urban God, whose name and face were kept hidden by the thorns on purpose.His current bounty was a quadrillion dollars, twice as much as the current world’s known wealth.The amount was so ridiculous and crazy that many bounty hunters thought it was just a fake bounty. A scam. A joke.But then there were those who believed that it could be real and started to investigate the name Urban God. However, most of them would give up on their search the more they learned about the recent history of the Urban God.A few weeks after Crimia was buried from the hidden face of the earth.Minerva had woken up, but
At around two in the night, the vibrations stopped, and the people finally were able to breathe freely.Many of them went back into their homes and slept. Some still stayed outside, afraid of the quake happening again.Around three in the night, Dark Monarch arrived at the Bronich city, but he was surprised to find out that the entire Crimia had been buried by mud. All the entrances were sealed off by mud.“What the hell just happened here in the time I was gone? Was he responsible for this?”Just then, he looked up into the sky.Miles high in the sky, Abbie was flying away with her mother’s body in her arms, her expression dark and desolate under moonlight.“Isn’t that…”Suddenly, immense pressure was put on his body.“Gravity Cage…” Ulmer appeared next to him.Dark Monarch’s body was crushed from every angle by pressure he had never experienced before. He screamed at the top of his lungs.“You should have never returned,” Ulmer did not spare even an inkling of mercy on him. “Gravity
“She’s going to live,” the royal healer, Irvi, an old lady with poisonous pimples all over her face, said. She was 120 years old but was still able to stand straight. However, her voice was not steady. She was observing Minerva’s pulse.Minerva was lying on the bed in the medical chambers not far from the royal palace.“However, her system has integrated with her body, so we can’t take it out,” Irvi said. “If we do it right now, she will die.”“Is it not possible to separate the system without killing her?” Ulmer asked.“It is, but that’s only possible when she overcomes the system?” Irvi responded. “The chances of that ever happening are slim.”Ulmer frowned but then said, “Do what you can to heal her.”“I will. That’s my job, after all,” Irvi said. “No matter how wicked a person may be, if they come to my doorstep, I will not turn my back toward them.”Ulmer slightly bowed his head to her and walked out onto the balcony of that building, where Minerva’s dad, Neodus was present.“I t
The vines suddenly dashed at Ulmer from behind.Ulmer didn’t even move an inch and stood unmoving.The vines rushed past him at a terrific speed and pierced Minerva’s body everywhere. She coughed out a lot of blood.“I didn’t want my blood on your hands,” she tried to smile despite the pain coursing through her body. “I’m… really sorry… for everything.”She was collapsing forward.Ulmer let go of the sword and held her shoulders, stopping her from falling to the ground.Minerva’s eyes began to turn completely dark. The vines that pierced her body began to turn direction and then pierced through Ulmer’s body from behind.Blood rushed to Ulmer’s mouth, but kept his mouth shut. Still, blood slowly leaked from a corner of his mouth.He sent a mental message to her. “It’s okay…”He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.Minerva’s eyes shed more tears, and the blackness in her eyes began to disperse slowly but surely.In a few moments, Minerva’s eyes closed.He could still feel her spi
Minerva thought she could kidnap Ulmer’s family but now realized that she was the one who was tricked by him.He was already well prepared for her.And he wasn’t going to let her harm his family twice.However, now that Ulmer was looking up at her, both sadness and anger filled his eyes.What has become of his ex-girlfriend? Someone with whom he had gone shopping with? Someone who seemed so innocent and lovely when he first met her?Remembering the times when they both went to a jewelry shop, and she studded herself with all kinds of gold and acted like a royal made Ulmer laugh heartily back then.He thought he fell in love with the best girl there was.But look, what has become of her now?She was reduced to someone who would hypnotize a little girl in order to lure Ulmer’s relatives out of the house.Even though Ulmer was just standing, he felt his heart strings playing hard to the point they were hurting because he knew that the time was near.“U-Ulmer…” Minerva could feel his emot
The Drunken Disaster Dionysus, the Wild King Enkidu, the Snake-haired Perseus, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the Sun God Apollo, the War Goddess Ishtar, and the one standing in front of them all and more was the mighty, monstrous King of Heroes Gilgamesh who stood nearly six meters tall.Not one of them could be called anything less than a monster.They were all absolute powerhouses, who made a name for themselves around the world in their times.Some of their powers transcended common sense and logic.“How dare a mere artificial system holder stand in our path? Know your place, vermin!” Ishtar, the war goddess, who looked extremely seductive as well as scary, squinted her eyes, releasing a powerful wave of energy that was supposed to suppress her opponent.Ulmer felt goosebumps all over. “Whooo… that tingles.” He smiled with excitement. (She saw through my system with a glance. I don’t know who she is, but she’s very dangerous. It’s not just her….) His gaze fell on others. (They are all
