Jake and Whitley did not understand why so many people from their organization was present at this convention center. Something like this never happened in the decade or so they worked in this organization. They never even heard of a situation when thousands of members gathered at one place for any occasion whatsoever.

At first, they were afraid because it was quite intimidating to see so many members. Even though they were silver-ranked skulls, they felt small compared to these numbers.

“Who’s throwing the party?” Whitley asked a woman who just smiled in return. “Why are you smiling when I asked you a question?”

“Shh,” she put her finger on her mouth.

That was a code signal of ‘silence’ which was generally used when there were secrets that shouldn’t be revealed.

Whitley understood that either these people also didn’t know the reason behind this party, or they knew and were not allowed to talk about it.

If it was the latter, then why weren’t Jake and Whitley told about it.

They couldn

    It was not an ordinary wind that blew inside the Dream Summit, but one that weakened the spirits of Ulmer’s opponents.While Ben and Amelie were knocked unconscious by it and were carried off in a whirlwind, the copper-ranked skulls and many of the silver-ranked skulls were on their knees.A few silver-ranked skulls were barely able to stand on their feet.Leeval and his friends also had their knees crash against the floor, and they were unable to get up. They felt like a strong pressure was pushing their spine down. It was terrifying, to say the least.He tried to open his mouth, but he couldn’t even do that. He felt his teeth might crack and break under pressure. The same was the case with his bones.Even the gold-ranked skulls were not confident in moving toward the stage, much less confronting Ulmer.Ulmer withdrew his energy release, and an utter silence filled the hall for a few seconds.“W-What was that immense pressure…” Leeval was sweating before he knew it. “Was that guy Ulm

    “Don’t you dare badmouth our master!” The Three Skulls together attacked him with their combined twisting punches. “Supreme Spiral Storm!”It looked like the burning coalescence of three monstrous energy forms stormed onto Ulmer.He deflected it, causing it to shoot up into the sky and fly miles high into the sky and then strike a large cloud spanning dozens of kilometers. The water droplets and the ice crystals got blasted in every direction and refracted the gradient of red, painting an unrealistic but extremely pretty picture in the night sky.Most of the people in the entire city who were on the streets or balconies or rooftops looked up and saw the cloud bursting like a firecracker.It was both terrifying as well as amazing, for it filled the minds of people with both fear and wonder.But the same couldn’t be said for the people in Dream Summit. They all felt quite anxious because they were all planning on finishing off Ulmer without making a scene, but Ulmer completely ruined it

    When Ben and Amelie opened their eyes, they found themselves in the backyard of Jamie’s house. They don’t remember how they got here, but it was night time, and they were on top of each other, so it made the mood awkward, and they were smiling and blushing together. After all, they were yet to get intimate with one another.Ben had always been eager to touch her and kiss her, but Amelie would tell him the phrase ‘everything after marriage.’It wasn’t Amelie’s real desire, but it was a rule her dad set her in return for granting her complete freedom in life. This rule was like a blessing in disguise for her as she was able to focus on her studies more instead of wasting much of her time on dating and so on.“Do you remember how we got here?” Ben asked her.Amelie shook her head. “I didn’t even start drinking. I’m sure I was talking to someone and felt the wind blow from behind me. And then I don’t remember what happened after that.”For some strange reason, Ben also felt like he had th

    The next morning.All the local and independent news sources were talking about one thing and one thing only. The mysterious mountain that popped up overnight, replacing the Dream Summit building which was nowhere to be seen anymore. Even the abnormal cloud burst they had seen last night became secondary news now.It was as if the Dream Summit and everything around it were swapped by this mountain.The mainstream news channels, however, maintained complete silence over the issue.In Marcus Merry’s home.Marcus was watching the news. “It seems the government wants to hide this issue completely.”Behind him, his son Leeval and his two friends were there. These four were the only ones that weren’t affected by what Ulmer had done. The rest of the members there all died.Even now, Leeval and his friends were still shivering and shaking slightly. They were running on high fever, and yet they were sweating from fear. They hadn’t slept since last night, and right now, the three of them looked

    Calvin and Fiona took Amelie, Ben, Ruth, and Ulmer with them to the location of Dream Summit.It was the old couple’s curiosity that made them do this.However, to their surprise, all the paths to the Dream Summit were sealed off. Nobody was allowed entrance. Calvin revealed his identity to the police officer, but he was impolitely told to back off.It was a bit embarrassing for Calvin, as he wasn’t shown any respect in front of the youngsters. Calvin didn’t expect that his image wouldn’t work because his son was running a news channel!Not wanting to leave things at that, Calvin made his son call and talk to the police officers. Only then, Calvin and others were allowed entrance, but their mobiles were all taken from them. And they were made to walk for a mile.Before they even arrived at the Dream Summit, Amelie said, “Where’s the mountain? If there was a mountain, we would have all seen it by now.”Calvin and Fiona didn’t say anything. Eventually, they reached the location, where t

    Ulmer and others were returning home, and it started raining so heavily that Amelie was holding Ben’s hand.The thunderbolts were crossing the sky, and their rumbling noises made even the hearts of Calvin and Fiona to shiver.Ruth who was sitting next to Ulmer felt heart racing and jumping at times. Still, she tried to appear confident and strong because Ulmer was sleeping next to her.“How can he sleep when the rain is so scary?” Ruth wondered.Calvin, who was driving the car, was not able to see properly. So he stopped the vehicle on the side of the road.The rain was pouring so heavily that they couldn’t see anything through the windows. Calvin turned the wipers on, but they still couldn’t clearly see what’s ahead.Ruth opened a weather app and was shocked to see the information. “Crap, they say it's 20-22 cm rainfall. It can even reach up to 40 cm at certain intervals.”“This is going to cause a flood in the city,” Fiona opined. “40 cm rain is a lot.” She looked back at Ben. “The

    Ulmer didn’t enter the house that night. Instead, he flew high into the sky and reached the clouds.There were so many of them, and all of them were pouring the rain down, which wasn’t a good sign.“This doesn’t look natural at all,” he was saying, and a lightning bolt came down at him. He deflected it aside, as it wasn’t actually a lightning bolt but some kind of a demon that had disguised as a lightning.Ulmer didn’t realize that until he looked at his left hand, which had a burnt mark on it. His left hand began to crumble slowly.“Hahaha,” the demonic lightning streaked through the sky around him in a circular fashion. “Once you’re bitten by my curse, nobody on earth can save you. Only death awaits you.”Ulmer cut his hand off near the forearm and then regrew the lost arm with ease.The demonic lightning was shocked by it. It came flying at his face this time, but Ulmer grabbed it.“H-How is this possible?” the demonic lightning was shocked. “How can you grab me when I’m in my ligh

    Ulmer followed the vampire from a distance, thinking he could stay hidden.However, the vampire was able to see him. Realizing that he was being followed, he screamed in a high-pitch voice that was not even audible for regular humans.But then groups of bats from all over the city and the outskirts began to fly high and coverage around Ulmer and became as big as a cloud. There were hundreds of thousands of them, and they all attacked Ulmer, trying to devour every single bit.The vampire, on the other hand, used this opportunity to fly away and return to his boss’ home.He entered the hall and said, “There was a man who made the clouds go away, but I dealt with him, Boss.”“By dealing, you mean bringing him along?” Graecon coldly glared at him.“W-What are you…” the vampire was saying, but he quickly turned back.Ulmer was standing at the entrance, with not a single injury on him. Even his clothes were completely fine. There was not a single tear or a hole on his clothes.“H-How are yo

    EPILOGUE

    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
