Claudia took her daughter to a certain ice mountain. It was full of polar bears and snow leopards guarding it from intruders.Claudia could fly and carry her daughter on her back, so they didn’t have any problem getting to the peak, where there was a big blue igloo.Inside the igloo, there was a man on flames, with a sword driven through his heart from behind. The sword was burning as if it was in the forge fire. He was meditating with his eyes closed. He had a long gray ponytail, and he looked to be someone in his early fifties.“Is he Ulgon the Undying Warrior?” Abbie curiously asked as this was her first time seeing him. “He’s not a vampire, so how is he still alive when a sword is piercing right through his heart? Is he even human? Also, if he’s a warrior, are you sure he can remove the seal, Mom?”“Seal your mouth for a little bit, and stay here,” Claudia told her and then walked over to the igloo.“What brings the queen of the Frankfurt family to my humble abode?” Ulgon asked wit
Back in Richard’s house, which was completely destroyed to pieces as though it was broken and then burned to dust, with metals melting from the heat of the clashes.People, for miles all around, felt the shockwaves. It was as if the world was ending.“If this continues, they’ll send the military over here,” Ulmer said, throwing a punch imbued with wind energy.“I don’t care,” Dark Monarch snorted, canceling the attack with his darkness ability that sucked away the wind. “If the military comes, they’ll die in my hands. If the president comes, he’ll die in my hands.”“You’re being so unreasonable!” Ulmer crafted a tornado kick this time. He put spiritual energy into it, which penetrated through the darkness cloaking around Dark Monarch, forcing him to raise his arm and block the kick with his forearm.“Whoo…. That hurts…” Dark Monarch’s slightly trembled. “But this much is nothing. Also, you’re the one that’s being unreasonable. If you had only agreed to work with me, then we wouldn’t
The next morning.Amelie and others woke up, and they felt nothing different, except that Abbie was missing. Other than that, everything was okay on the surface.They were in their house, and they were doing their things.However, in reality, they were all still sleeping and dreaming as Ulmer wanted them to rest for a few days. That was the safest option he could think of. Since he supplied them with spiritual energy, they wouldn’t need to eat or drink. So, there was no need to worry about them right now.As for the location he had chosen to put them, it was in Phantom Killer’s house since it was heavily guarded on the outside.Phantom Killer and Demonbane were both awake.“Your name will be Faceless from now on,” Ulmer told Phantom Killer. “Stop all the killings that you’re doing. Instead, you’ll be stopping the people from dying. That will be your job from now on.”Phantom Killer complained that it would be boring, but Demonbane smacked him on the back of the head and said, “You’d a
In the heart of Bronich city, under the flickering neon lights and swirling shadows, whispered rumors spoke of a treacherous underground criminal hideout Crimia also known as The Little Abyss.There were people who had heard and even seen criminals come and go from mysterious places, and the fossils of strange creatures were also found here every now and then, but what was the point of the eyes when the mind wasn’t confident to back the two windows to one’s soul?The eyes are pretty much useless when one’s mind is blind.Nevertheless, though most people in the city and the world were oblivious to the existence of something like Crimia, a fortress of vice, deception, and decay, where the world’s most dangerous outlaws plotted their schemes at many levels.Crimia had a total of 100 levels, each level more menacing than the last. A journey, even for a fellow criminal in this place would be fraught with danger.Many had tried to infiltrate this savage lair, but none had managed to conquer
After teleporting to the other side of the entrance door, Ulmer saw a group of four guys playing poker in the distance.They looked bored.Ulmer walked toward them, his footsteps loud enough to be heard.The four men looked at him and were startled and confused at the same time. Who was he? Where did he come from? How did he even get here when the door was closed?“I heard this was an old entrance, not used by people anymore,” Ulmer uttered, “so how come there’s protection even in this place? It seems the security of this underground criminal city is tighter than I thought. I was not expecting criminals to be doing their guarding duties so diligently.”“Identify yourself!” The four men grabbed their guns and pointed at Ulmer. “Who are you? State your name!”“Easy, guys. Maybe, I’m here to register in the city?” Ulmer said. “I heard that there’s a process where we can join this city and become part of it?”“Only criminals who shed human blood can become a member of this city,” one of t
The priest was wearing a black cloak, with a tiny black cap on top of his head. He also had an earring with the number 3.Ulmer was wondering if the priest would recognize him, but he didn’t.The priest smiled very much as he offered a handshake. “It’s becoming a trend these days for the rich to wish to become super-rich. In that pursuit, so many are visiting our church.”“That’s not a good thing,” Ulmer replied.“What?” the priest’s expression changed.“I mean, it would make you a whole lot busier,” Ulmer explained himself.“Haha, it’s fine. Every hour spent for the dragon is worth it. All those hours will be paid back in gold one day,” the priest said. “So, why don’t you introduce yourself to me?”“My name is Ulmer. I don’t have any job, but I want to explore Crimia. That’s why I came here,” Ulmer replied. He wasn’t exactly lying as he excluded some of the key details.“Entry-level registered members start from level zero,” the priest said. “You’re on level zero now. But once you pr
“Take the knife and cut its throat,” the priest said once more. “It’s the easiest thing there is. Once you taste its blood, you will want to do it again and again.”Ulmer’s expression turned cold. “You want me to kill that little lamb? Do I look that easy?”“Mm?” the priest looked at Ulmer with a bit of astonishment. (Is he suggesting that this is too easy of a task for him? There were those who show up every now and then. They are so wicked that they hate doing simple tasks like killing an animal. Is he one of those super psychotic people?) “Can you clarify yourself?”“What’s there to clarify?” Ulmer replied.”If you want me to explain myself, take me to the Council of Nine. I will give them all the explanations they need.”The priest’s eyes widened some more. (He’s asking me to take him to the council? Does that mean he knows about the main sacrifice he needs to do to prove his loyalty to them? I was underestimating him since he only showed some gold coins, but it seems this young ma
The thug with the big arms didn’t know what he was getting into. He attacked Ulmer with his bare hands, trusting his brute strength.His fist connected Ulmer’s face, and the others started to snicker, including the women dancing on the poles.However, it was the man with the big arms that started cringing in pain. “Argh! My wrist…”“EH?” the others were all shocked by his reaction. “Jordan got injured from punching him in the face?”“He’s gotta be acting, right?”“How could he get injured from hitting someone’s face?!”Ulmer cast a glance at the big-armed man and grabbed his face and lifted him up casually.The eyes of everyone there enlarged because the big-armed man should weigh around 130 kilograms. What Ulmer was doing was only possible for someone with superhuman strength.As the big-armed man started crying in pain, Ulmer coldly asked, “What happened to the confidence from before?”“Let go of our brother!” A few more men charged Ulmer.He threw the big-armed man onto them, makin
