After talking with Demonmane, Ulmer returned to the hall on the ground floor. He couldn’t see Abbie anywhere, so he opened the fridge door. She was sleeping inside.“I told you not to sleep here,” he coldly uttered.“Just for another hour,” she said.“Get out. Now,” he ordered.“Tsk,” she opened her eyes and rolled out like a ball all the way to the couch and then rolled her way up the couch and slept on it.Ulmer sat on another couch and took out a small book out of nowhere.“What the…” Abbie was greatly surprised. “Where did you take that out from? Did you teleport it from somewhere else? Or do you have an inventory system like they show in the games?”Ulmer, however, completely ignored her and kept reading the book.“What’s that book about?” Abbie asked. “Is it fiction? Is it a good story?”“It’s a short story of a young nobleman who survives hardships and then rises to fame,” Ulmer said. “The author compared his story to plans that survive winter and then bloom in the spring. It’s
Silver Prince returned to Felix. “How was your skirmish with Dark Monarch?”“He’s itching for a fight, but he knows the risk of clashing with me,” Felix said. “So, other than a single exchange, nothing else happened. What about you? Please tell me you got something.”“Unfortunately, Demonmane seems to have changed sides,” Silver Prince said. “He’s stayed back, but I don’t think it’s for us.”“I wasn’t expecting this. So you found nothing about my daughter?”“She’s not on the lawn or backyard,” Silver Prince. “There are about a couple dozen low tier guards, and four mid-tier fighters stopping everyone.”“That means, if someone strong enters, then he’s going to step in.”“Like he did with Skull Reaper.”“It adds up. My daughter would have likely realized what’s going on. Unless she’s in a tough spot, she will do her best to escape,” Felix said confidently. “But we don’t know her situation. So, finding her current condition takes more priority.”“I sent one of my men to pave a way for ot
Ulmer finished reading Ayana’s book for the tenth time overall.Abbie asked him for the book, but he sent it into the inventory.“Would your heart stop if I start reading it?” Abbie hissed. “Or is that not a fiction book but a pervert magazine, and you’re embarrassed to show it to me?”“Think whatever you want. I don’t care,” Ulmer closed his eyes. “Just don’t go into the fridge again.”“You’re so rude!” she kept hissing. “All men are like this. That’s why women are divorcing men these days!”“Go to some random school, and you’d see boys giving flowers to girls and sharing lunch with them,” Ulmer said, opening one of his eyes and looking at her. “I did something like that when I was in school, too. But as I grew up, I realized that the chicks chase after the men who don’t give them any attention and treat them like trash. Not all chicks are like that, but many are like that. They chase their feelings. One of my sisters broke up with her boyfriend because she wasn’t feeling it with him
Nervner dug a hole to the backyard of the duplex house. He didn’t get out because he could see the guards stationed all around the house.“Kssk, kssk,” he looked happy, “I finally made it here. It was easier than I thought. Now, all that needs to be done is show others the way. Then everyone will pour themselves into the building.”He went back to tell other people about it.Meanwhile, the barrier opened once more. Phantom Killer and others stood alert, wondering what kind of enemy they’d be facing.But to their shock, nine women entered through the barrier. They were laughing and seemed to be in a happy mood. It didn’t look like they were capable enough to enter the barrier.“Is there a weakness to the barrier?” Demonmane wondered. “Does it let regular humans inside without a problem?”The women were all wearing tight and skimpy clothing. They also seemed a bit drunk and vulnerable.“Hello, boys,” they were all smiling at the men, making their hearts flutter.Phantom Killer was mostl
Demonmane’s chest hurt like hell, but he tried to get up to his feet because the emotions were running strong and high.After hearing that his teammates who had worked with him for many years died a dog’s death, Demonmane felt extremely furious.“Hahaha,” all the men that rushed toward the house attacked Demonmane, “let’s kill this bastard first.”About six men attacked him.Demonmane countered them without even a shred of hesitation. His fists screamed through the air and connected all of their jaws. They were perfect hits, powerful enough to break their jaws.All six of them flew and fell in different directions.Demonmane then chased the other men that were trying to get past him. “You’re not getting past me!” He attacked a dagger wielder.“We’ll see about that,” the dagger wielder threw the dagger at Demonmane, forcing him to deflect the weapon.But the moment the dagger connected him, it exploded like a bomb.“Haha,” the dagger wielder laughed. “How was my dagger bomb? Here’s ano
The bodies of the ones Demonbane defeated fell in the front yard of the house, shocking Lexor and others.They stopped what they were doing with the women and pushed them away. The women, however, still tried to persuade them and tempt them into participating in a sexual act with them.Toxic Knight recognized the biggest guy among all the dead ones. “This guy is Elephant Eater! He’s very strong. I fought him once, and he’s able to eat my poison potions and digest them. Did Ulmer kill this guy?”“I saw Demonmane go to the backyard,” Lexor said. “Maybe, he did it.”“Was he this strong?” Toxic Knight looked surprised. They looked toward the rooftop where they indeed saw Demonmane who no longer went by that name.“Did he kill all these people by himself?” Phantom Killer found it hard to believe. “I have heard of Elephant Eater, too. That guy is pretty strong. How did he come inside? Did the barrier break in the backside of the house?”He wanted to go and check, but the women were still no
“I’ll give you a quick death,” Nervner blurted.Demonbane, however, showed him both of his middle fingers.Nervner angrily smiled. “If you want your fingers to be cut, so be it.” He then turned his nails into whips with sharp edges, and he viciously swung them at his opponent.Demonbane defended himself with the cloak, but it kept getting cut, so he was forced to dodge. It wasn’t easy as the nails were moving pretty fast. He kept getting cut everywhere and bled from many places.Nervner was laughing and attacking with all the more speed and desire to hurt his opponent. “Is dodging all you can do, Demonbane? You’re really disappointing, I’ll finish you right away!” He pulled his nails back and thrust them at all toward a single point—at his opponent’s heart. “Zero Strike!”Demonbane, however, suddenly caught all those ten nails with his bare hand.Nervner was surprised by it, but he quickly pulled his nails. However, the nails didn’t come out.Demonbane pulled him by the nails. Nervner
The hole that was created in the barrier when Nervner’s body flew through it quickly closed up afterward.Felix and Dark Monarch and some others knew that they could burst through the barrier if they wanted to, but they didn’t want to take the unnecessary risk. After all, they didn’t have enough information on Ulmer, other than that he had been to Syslon.And they had no idea why a trillion dollar bounty was put on his head, either.As frustrating as it was to just watch and wait, these people were experienced enough to trust in their patience.“Can’t we just go in and crush everyone, Boss?” one of the underlings of the Dark Monarch asked him. “With you guiding and leading us from the front, who in the world can stop us?”“Arrogance will lead us all to death,” Dark Monarch replied, startling them. They never saw their boss being so careful against any enemy. “Those white flames we saw just now, they are not ordinary flames. They are made with spiritual energy. They are living flames.
