Within two minutes, a spare metal block was brought over and was installed firmly into the holes in the ground so that it wouldn’t budge.This time, the block was bigger, so many people began to complain. However, the event manager told everyone that the density of the block was still the same. Still and all, some people kept hissing and complaining.It was Ulmer’s turn now.Brianna had already left, and even the Foster family had also left. They probably expected him to easily win this round.“Are you watching?” Ulmer asked.“Yes,” Ayana and others from his family replied.Ulmer was using the light stone to send the data of whatever he was seeing. This data was projected on the house wall with the help of the clone’s eyes.“It feels like I’m the one participating in the games,” Suki excitedly said. “Break that big rock into two pieces, Brother!”Kale also clapped in excitement. Dustin and Robin were in the background, looking nervous.“Here I go. This one’s for Suki,” Ulmer punched t
The knight of noble Branwen was the first one that stepped onto the stage.“Hahaha,” Branwen was laughing outside, but on the inside, he was crying. (Dammit. What cursed luck I have. My noble is at level 63. He’s probably going to lose against that young man they call the Knight Beater.) Though he couldn’t see Ulmer’s face, he still recognized him from how the people were referring to him.Branwen was the second noble that had come to Ulmer’s home and met him. He was at level 69 but had high aspirations of becoming a top noble.Nobody from the royal family came to watch as this was just the third round.“I’m Denge,” the blue-haired knight introduced himself. “I pledge my loyalty for Lord Branwen. He still wishes that you work for him.”“I don’t work for anyone,” Ulmer replied. “Tell that to your lord.”“You leave me no choice,” Denge unsheathed his sword and swung it in a circular manner, creating water out of thin air. “Diligent Waterfall Jolt!”Like a growing arm, the water burst fo
“So you have seen through my level, huh…” Alveron smiled. “You are indeed interested. No wonder ‘she’ told me to deal with you now itself.”“She? Who is she?” Ulmer asked out of intrigue.“You don’t need to know because you’re going to lose,” Alveron said.“Everyone who showed such confidence before me left crying,” Ulmer replied. “You are going to be no exception.”“You’ve got a big mouth, young man, but can you really give me a proper fight which I haven't had in a long time?” Alveron said.“That depends on you.”“We’ll see about that,” Alveron unsheathed his sword, and straight away, Ulmer felt a tremendous invisible pressure pushing him down even though his opponent didn’t make any move.“What is this?” Ulmer frowned. “Gravity?”“Correct,” Alveron slashed sword diagonally. “Gravity Eruption!”Ulmer was forcibly pulled toward the sword.BANG~~!!The sword struck Ulmer’s cross-arm block, and a strong pulling force spread out in every direction.It was so powerful that the audience f
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Alveron pierced the sword into the stage and uttered, “Gravity Cage.”A black bird-cage like object completely filled the state both of them were on, and only Ulmer felt pressure from every direction, not just pulling from below, but from above and from left and right and diagonally as well. This was the 3D pressure put on every inch of his body, trying to rip him apart into pieces.Killing was allowed in Noble Games as long as it wasn’t a noble, so knights and others were allowed to kill themselves.So, Alveron did not go easy. He put all his strength and did not hold back.To others who had never experienced Gravity Cage, it looked like a normal attack, but only those who had experienced it before knew how devastating it would be.Zebron and some others who knew its power had a serious expression on their faces. “Is he trying to kill that young man?”Rever frowned. “That looks very dangerous. Alveron the Animal… why is he going that far? Couldn’t he
Alveron held the sword in reverse grip and lunged forth and stabbed it down as one would stab with a knife. “Gravity Fang!”Ulmer blocked the sword with his bare hand.The sword dug through his hand and then the shoulder.A strong black lightning burst forth and utterly destroyed the stage beneath them. A strong earthquake spread in multiple directions and destroyed not just the other stages but also the audience stands, causing people to freak out.Ulmer grabbed Alveron’s sword with his bare hand so that he wouldn’t be able to push it down further. Ulmer then swiftly swiped his other hand. “Heavenly Claw!”Alveron moved his head back, but Ulmer’s claws still cut up his skin very badly, making him bleed from his face very much. “Urgh…” Alveron used his ability to seal up the wounds, but to his surprise, the wounds opened up again. “What the…”On the contrary, Ulmer’s injuries closed up. “This is goodbye,” he leaped forth, spun through the air and kicked at Alveron.Alveron thrust his
The fourth round was a one on one match between the participants.To Ulmer’s luck, his opponent was Mobel, the knight he first met after coming to this city.“Aren’t I lucky?” Ulmer said.Mobel did not look that confident, but he said, “For Lord Dracarius, I will defeat you.”“Because of Dracarius, I will also beat the shit out of you,” Ulmer told him. “I’ve heard a lot of bad things that he does, you see. I have no respect for such a crooked man. Since you work for him, I am not going to go easy on you.”“Don’t get cocky just because you won against Alveron by fluke!” Mobel charged him and swung his sword, creating a whirlwind.Ulmer waved his hand and not only dispelled the whirlwind but also caught Mobel’s blade at the tip. With a twist of his wrist, he broke the sword and then grabbed Mobel by the face and crushed him to the ground.Mobel’s eyes whitened immediately as he coughed blood.With a kick, he sent Mobel flying off the big stage.Ulmer then glanced toward a few people in
The fifth round was a tag-team fight.Ulmer was paired up with a weaker teammate to balance things out between different teams. His teammate was Nelson, a knight leveled 49.Nelson was very friendly, humble, and said, “I will do my best to not come in your way.”“I will also do my best to get us both into the next round,” Ulmer told him.Their opponents turned out to be two nobles.One was Jessica, a level 53 woman in her late thirties, whereas the other one was a Matthew Belford who was at level 71. Both of them were husband and wife.“I will manage myself against that woman,” Nelson told Ulmer. “You deal with that man, Brother.”“Your wish,” Umer was quick to rush toward Matthew the moment the game started.“Don’t get cocky, brat,” Matthew immediately used his tech gloves to send a burst of lightning at Ulmer.Ulmer didn’t even dodge it and went right through it. “That tickles…” he tried to grab Matthew, but Matthew jumped and surfed through the sky with his skysurfers.Matthew came
Attacking an opponent from behind was a disgrace for a knight. But attacking a teammate from behind? This was utterly blemishing.The crowd was utterly stunned by what they saw. Mirianne’s expression froze.Even Ayana and others who were watching from their house through Ulmer’s eyes felt horrified by watching a sword come out through his chest.Brianna, however, was smiling. After all, she was the one who secretly arranged it so that Nelson would be Ulmer’s partner. “No one can survive a deep wound to the heart. This is your end, Knight Beater. Your story will be told as such… that you were pathetically beaten by a knight named Nelson in the fifth round of the Noble Games. Yes, that will be the truth because I will make it so. You will soon be forgotten.”Just then, Ulmer’s body melted into mud.Nelson was utterly confused. “W-What’s this? He turned into a pile of mud?““I-It’s a clone!” a random knight in the crowd said.“He has a cloning system?” Nelson and everyone who heard that

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 rule
“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
Minerva thought she could kidnap Ulmer’s family but now realized that she was the one who was tricked by him.He was already well prepared for her.And he wasn’t going to let her harm his family twice.However, now that Ulmer was looking up at her, both sadness and anger filled his eyes.What has become of his ex-girlfriend? 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
The Drunken Disaster Dionysus, the Wild King Enkidu, the Snake-haired Perseus, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the Sun God Apollo, the War Goddess Ishtar, and the one standing in front of them all and more was the mighty, monstrous King of Heroes Gilgamesh who stood nearly six meters tall.Not one of them could be called anything less than a monster.They were all absolute powerhouses, who made a name for themselves around the world in their times.Some of their powers transcended common sense and logic.“How dare a mere artificial system holder stand in our path? 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
