The moment Brianna saw a glimpse of desire in Michael’s eyes, she smiled, and BAM!

Michael’s expression froze completely like that of a statue.

Brianna walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. “Just be a good boy and stand guard here. Don’t let anyone enter until I come outside.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Michael replied.

Brianna then entered through the gate with the proud feeling that she was able to hypnotize an assassin in level nineties the moment they let their guard down.

A few moments passed.

Brianna came out and then brainwashed Michael to forget ever seeing her or talking to her now. And he nodded slowly.

Brianna blew air at his shoulder, where she had touched him before, so as to not leave any of her scent linger there. She even controlled the temperature and the air in that tunnel to not leave any traces of her ever being there. She had to take such measures because Michael had extraordinary senses and the instincts of an assassin, so he could figure things out if she were

    At Ayana’s house.It was night time, and though everyone was sleeping, Ayana was sitting outside the main door, waiting for Ulmer to return.Two squirrels were playing in the distance, scurrying up and down the trees, but Ayana couldn’t be bothered to even glance at them right now.With wet eyes and a sad, dull look on her face, Ayana waited. She hadn’t eaten anything, but her hunger pangs didn’t bother right now, either, because her worry dominated everything else right now.Every second felt like a long time for her, and it wasn’t easy to sit there alone, not knowing if Ulmer will return or not. She wanted to cry, but she tried not to. She clung onto the hope that Ulmer would surely return.As time kept passing, she saw someone walking down the road. It was a junior officer, who was making a public announcement in the middle of the night, saying, “The dragon of doom has returned. The emperor is fighting that great dragon, but everyone is advised to stay inside their homes and not co

    Dustin and Robin also woke up because of the announcement the junior officer had made in the middle of the night.Ayana was yet to tell them that Ulmer’s clone had disappeared. They were under the impression that she sent him out on some small mission, and that he was being late.As it started to rain heavily, Robin saw that Ayana was now sitting outside under a tree. She quickly came to Ayana and said, “He’s going to come back, so you should come inside. Eat and get some sleep.”“I will be waiting here,” Ayana replied.“In the rain? For how long?” Robin asked, covering her eyes with her hand. “Do you think he’d want you to not eat and sleep? I’m happy that you love your husband and miss him so much, but it’s not like he’s gone on a long mission. He’s going to come back soon. He told us that himself. Don’t you trust his words? Don’t you believe in his strength?”Robin’s words made Ayana remember that Ulmer’s clone was able to fool Alveron, so how could anyone easily kill such a guy? E

    A bolt of lightning fell and hit the big tree that Robin and Ayana were sitting under. It happened so suddenly, and the tree burned and split in two and fell on either side of the mother and daughter, leaving them speechless and out of breath.The bowl in Robin’s hand had long dropped, and she looked at her daughter in shock.The shock on both their faces soon turned to amazement, as the wooden tree that had fallen on the ground was still burning. Had that tree fell on top of them, they would have both died for sure.Both of them looked up at the sky, ignoring the rain crashing on their faces, and thanked God with tearful eyes for protecting them, and then Robin took her daughter and ran into the house just as Dustin came out to check on them.Somewhere else in Syslon.Ulmer was on his way returning to his home, but then heard a cry from below. He couldn’t ignore that cry and came down to that spot, where he saw an old lady had just fallen to the ground and bruised her knee.All the w

    On his way, Ulmer thought about his grandmother. He wanted to meet her and see how she was doing.“They would have known by now that parents and sisters have died,” he thought, frowning. “I would be considered a runaway or something. Would my uncle stop caring for my grandmother now?”When Ulmer’s dad was still alive, Ulmer’s uncle kept his emotions in check and treated their mother with just enough care. Now that Ulmer’s dad was no more, who would question him if he were to treat their mother poorly?Ulmer still didn’t forget the big fight his dad and uncle had over splitting property and more. They even attacked each other physically.“Should I send a clone to check on my grandmother?” Ulmer wondered. “What do you think, Dove?”[If it’s going to help you be at peace, then you should do so.] Dove opined.“Mm…” Ulmer then made a clone of himself and made it go through a portal. “I hope Grandma is still safe. I will see what’s happening with her. If it’s necessary, I’ll bring her away

    “My son died because of you and your family,” Francis growled with tearful eyes. “I will send you and your family off to where my son is resting!” He rushed toward the house along with seven more men.Dustin locked the door, but what could a door do against people who were in level tens and twenties?They managed to easily break through the door. Dustin tried to stop them by pushing a table against them, but they broke the table and then slashed their knives and swords t him with no mercy whatsoever, causing his blood to spray all around.Robin and Ayana rushed out of their room and screamed in horror to see Dustin getting ruthlessly attacked.Francis saw the two women and glared at them. His gaze especially fell on Ayana. “Ayana Revers… I’m going to cut you to a thousand pieces tonight!” He leaped toward her and viciously slashed his butcher knife.Robin jumped into his path, and she was struck down by his knife.“MOM!” Ayana howled in absolute horror because Robin’s gut was split op

    Ulmer sent a clone to talk with the local officers, and they came to take Francis and the dead bodies of other men away.Because Francis and the other men were found inside Dustin’s property, with knives and other things, the officers told Ulmer that no case would be filed on them because Ulmer killed these people to save his own family. And that this would be considered an act of self defense.However, Ulmer was told that he’d still need to attend for interrogation by higher ups just to help with finishing the case report.The officers didn’t dare to disrespect Ulmer because the news of Ulmer reaching the final round and then defeating Vincent had already spread throughout most parts of the empire.As a result, Ulmer had already become a famous figure. On top of that, the fact that Ulmer made a deal with the emperor to give the rights to own pets to commoners was also greatly appreciated by the common people. His efforts moved their hearts, though not enough to come and directly meet

    After Ulmer assured her that things would become clear after a few days, Ayana raised his hand and pressed it against her cheek.Her eyes turned wet. Ulmer saw that and pointed at the sky, where the moon was still visible because it was still three at night.“Can you hear me, Moon? Can you hear me, stars? Can you hear my heart?” Ulmer said. “If you can, then please shine a bit more and make my wife smile a little.”“She’s a little baby, so don’t leave her alone, or you’ll be scolded at by everyone,” Ayana replied as though speaking in the moon’s stead.“Next time, ask the moon, stars, and the wind where I am,” Ulmer said, “and they will tell you.”Cold wind blew past their faces and tickled them. The stars twinkled in the sky, and a faint smile bloomed on the moon’s lips.“If they won’t tell me, then what?” Ayana quickly asked.“If they won’t answer you, then that’s their loss,” Ulmer said. “After all, they’d be losing a soft-hearted friend whose smile can brighten anyone's mood.” He

    Later that morning.The news spread all around the empire that the emperor had defeated the dragon. Though he couldn’t bring the head of the dragon back, he did bring one of its horns, and a few of its scales to display them to the public. Even if he hadn’t brought these items, no one would have doubted the emperor’s words.After all, the emperor had built himself such a reputation over the years, having put his life on the line for the sake of the empire many times.On top of that, the injuries that the emperor suffered during his fight were also proof enough as to how intense the battle could have been. No one doubted for a second that the emperor might be lying.Emperor Dylan never said he defeated the dragon. He only told them, “The dragon of doom is no more.”And people understood it however they wanted. They believed that the emperor managed to defeat it somehow. Though it was beyond what they were expecting, they didn’t doubt him.Drake, the former high knight, kneeled and bowe

    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 rules

    “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

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

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
