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
“Brother, I’m telling you the truth, so listen to me,” Kristy said, yelling and pleading simultaneously. “Look at that woman’s hand carefully. She has all her nails looking sharp fine, except the middle fingernail. Do you know why? That’s because she definitely masturbates. That’s what women do. One of my friends does the same! So, your girlfriend isn’t as pure and holy as you think!”“You’re lying!” Ulmer refused to believe his younger sister’s words. “Brianna would never do such a thing! You’re just trying to separate us because you’re jealous!”“Huh? Why would I be jealous?”“Because she’s beautiful!”A few months after the siblings had that conversation.On a dark cold night, at around two o’clock, the 23-year-old Ulmer was standing on the bridge, crying and feeling more pain than a man with many bullets in his chest.“You were right, Kristy,” Ulmer’s eyes were clouded with tears. “You always mocked me, so I thought you were trying to break my bond with Brianna, but what you said
Inside a prison cell.The officers had tortured Ulmer a lot to get answers out of him, but to their shock, they couldn’t make Ulmer utter a single word.After beating him 258 times with a stick, they took a break.Ulmer was now tied up to the ceiling with a rope. His hands and feet were tied above him, and his face was downward, with his body parallel to the ground and hanging in midair.He was bleeding from his bottom as they had shoved a metal rod through his anus multiple times.The pain he felt all over his body was indescribable, but it still was nothing compared to the loneliness and hurt he felt inside.As much as his parents and siblings scolded him, they were still his family. With all of them gone from this world, he now felt truly alone.At this point, Ulmer didn’t care about his life or anything anymore. Like a caged animal awaiting its death, he shut off his heart and even began to breathe very sparingly.At the same time, the head officer of the police station was checki
Ulmer was not new to fighting. He used to fight his classmates a lot back in school and college days.In fact, Ulmer and Kale also fought each other multiple times in the past, and Ulmer had the edge against Kale most of the time, but right now, Kale caught both of Ulmer’s fists effortlessly.“You just came out of the station,” Kale snorted, “but you are so eager to go back into custody again.”“Shut up!” Ulmer tried to pull his hands out, but to his shock, he couldn’t do that. Kale’s strength was much higher than expected. Kale was still sitting,but he was able to bend Ulmer’s arms against his will. “Ugh…”“You shouldn’t have come home, Ulmer. Now you’re forcing me to kill not just your family but also you,” Kale uttered.Ulmer’s heart ached after hearing Kale’s words. His blood rushed with extreme anger that peaked all of a sudden. “K~A~L~E!”The bird locket on Ulmer’s heart shone and resonated with his feelings.“Hahaha!” Kale wickedly laughed. “All you can do is shout. You can’t k
