Just like how the marionettes vanished, the other targets also kept disappearing one after another.This left the bettors, the organizers and the guards confused and even scared.As they had worried, Ulmer targeted them next. He sent the bettors to where Elephant Eater was sent to.Elephant Eater didn’t even listen to what the bettors tried to say in the darkness that surrounded everyone. He attacked them, destroyed them, and then ate their remains to vent his anger and frustration.The organizers and the guards were sent to Dark Monarch who interrogated them and found out from them that they were sent by Beast Hunter.“So he’s in Crimia now, huh…” Dark Monarch didn’t spare any of the organizers, or the guards. Some of them attacked him, but they couldn’t even touch his hair.They all died, and Dark Monarch looked all the more angry now.“Ulmer Jem… You think you cornered me by placing me here?” He used his dark energy to project himself into the air and traveled through the chilling,
The Criminals Chamber was the second-most fortified place in the first ten levels of Crimia. This was because the important lawyers and judges were staying on the sixth floor.Some of these judges and lawyers were millionaires on the surface and were popular for their successful and inspiring stories, but in reality, they were all eager to play their role in Crimia every week.Passing down judgment on criminals and other people alike in Crimia would give them a lot of thrill because there was no limit to the type of punishment that could be given to the criminals. Some could get fined for a few gold coins, whereas some others would have their limbs ripped apart. It all depended on the mood of the judges, and how much they favored or dejected you.If the lawyers and judges weren’t on your side, then you wouldn’t be able to escape the seventh level unscathed.This was why most people avoided coming to this floor because everytime one were to come here, all the good and bad things they h
The seventh floor appeared bright and colorful, looking just like an open farm house. The ground had grass. The ceiling looked like an open sky. And there were horses running around, with many barns in the distance.As Ulmer explored, he came across a few aerial barriers.“Multi-layered magic barrier… Interesting…” Ulmer walked right through the barrier, completely unaffected by it. “What are they hiding inside for them to make a barrier like this?”What he saw inside the barrier wasn’t what he expected. There were children playing games on the lawn near a barn.There were also armed guards, already pointing their weapons at Ulmer.Ulmer raised his hand, and all except one guard fainted and fell to the ground. That single guard’s body was pulled toward Ulmer. He couldn’t resist it.Ulmer caught his neck and asked, “What are these children here for?”The guard was already pissing in his pants. “They are being bred.”“For what?”“For selling to the highest bidders. Please spare me,” the
As much as Ulmer wanted to meet Lera, he couldn’t ignore the children on the seventh level. He worked extra hard to send them all to safe places for now as he didn’t have the time to convince them and then ask them where their homes were. Some of them also seemed too young to even know where their real parents were, so Ulmer could only temporarily move them to a different place.Ulmer went to the auction centers, where children were auctioned for gold bars. Ulmer transported all the sellers over to where he had sent Elephant Eater who greedily attacked and then brutally killed them. He didn’t eat them because he was already full, but he still didn’t spare them. He killed them all, not even leaving one person alive.It seems he preferred to be alone in that darkness than to spend time with some random person.Meanwhile, Ulmer entered the eighth level, also known as the Shadowsnare, which looked like a town where criminals hardened by their experiences, imbued with bizarre, superhuman a
The center of the eighth level had become a battleground as two forces fought for supremacy.The leaders of the two forces clashed toe-to-toe, viciously attacking each other with a chain sickle and a spear.It was such an intense battle that many others couldn’t help but admire their skill even in the midst of war. With bated breaths, everyone waited to witness the winner of their mighty struggle.Both the leaders launched their ultimate attacks at each other, but a figure suddenly appeared between them, grabbing their heads and smashing them together, completely breaking their teeth.The jaws of all the onlookers dropped to the floor.“Fighting over alcohol and drugs… it’s pathetic to watch,” Ulmer uttered. His hood still covered half of his face, so people couldn’t see who he was. They didn’t recognize him as the Beast Hunter, either, because none of them watched the footage of Brawlers’ Arena.“I don’t even need to fight you all myself,” as Ulmer was saying, the others heard noises
The tenth level, also known as the Mirror Mall, was like a massive shopping mall where all kinds of items were available.It was packed with many people, making it appear like the busiest shopping mall ever.But what caught Ulmer’s eyes was not the traffic. It was the tall mirror present at every store.People could pay for items either in gold or by standing in front of the mirror and selling a part of their soul.Ulmer observed a man who bought chains and bangles for his girlfriend. He didn’t have any money, so he stood in front of the mirror, and then a small tattoo appeared on his left bicep muscle.“The tattoo will feed on your strength for a fortnight,” the shopkeeper told him. “If you fail to make it disappear by then, it will stay for another fortnight.”That man nodded in agreement.Ulmer stared at the tattoo from a distance, and he felt like the tattoo was staring back at him. “Is that what I think it is?”[Yeah, the tattoo itself is a demon.] Dove opined. [It will feed on t
Ulmer’s job was made easier as there were no humans allowed from eleven to the fifteen levels.People who called themselves Highmans lived there. And they all were humans with modified DNA, which gave them enhanced senses at the least.The stronger ones even had the ability to recover fastly from wounds.They all had one thing common, though. They didn’t just look down on humans but despised them, labeling them as inferior races. Because they didn’t even like the company of humans, there were no humans living on the eleventh to the fifteen floors.Ulmer still explored through these five floors, teleporting to and fro, just to make sure there weren’t any slaves being kept secretly.To his surprise, he didn’t find any slaves or regular humans.“Some said that you can’t meet people with superpowers until you get past the thirtieth level, but that’s clearly not true,” Ulmer thought. “Since the first level itself, some people have possessed superhuman strength.”What Ulmer didn’t find plea
“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! She’s pure as a diamond! You’re just trying to separate us because you’re jealous!”“Huh? Why would I be jealous?”“Because she’s a gem!”A few hours after the siblings had that conversation, on the dark cold night, at around two o’clock, the 23-year-old Ulmer was standing right in front of his girlfriend, feeling more pain than a man with many bullets in his chest would.She was having sex with many men like a vulgar beast in heat.Ulmer was so shocked and disgusted by it that he dropped the bouquet
