The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 212
A day ago.Not far from the Tail Cave, there was an old, abandoned laboratory where Porcius was secretly recovering.“To think Dark Fang died… her powers were quite formidable, but it just means that these undead creatures are even more powerful,” he thought of the time when he roamed in the dark dungeon as the Plague Pig for years. “I went crazy not just from the poisons and injections I was given, but also because of demons possessing me. I couldn’t do anything about it. I thought that some mage could kill me, but nobody did. They were all too weak. They couldn’t even cut through to my bone. I lost hope, but then Myles showed up. He cleansed me of all the pestilences and impurities in my body. Guys like him are necessary for this world.”After all, not just anybody could have saved the Plague Pig. Even Porcius himself wouldn’t have done such a thing if he were in Myles’ shoes.“Still, it’s a pity that Dark Fang died. I was hoping to change this city by supporting her. With her out o

Hawkin’s intervention made life difficult for Shreya and Blue Dog, but then Porcius appeared out of nowhere and attracted the bees and butterfly officers. Porcius was a highly wanted criminal, so even Hawkins went after him.This gave an opportunity for Shreya and Blue Dog to hide.Both of them were wounded because of the woke-bees and butterflies. Blue Dog especially suffered swelling all over his arms.They came straight to the abandoned laboratory, which looked like a perfect spot to hide. Blue Dog went in first, whereas Shreya covered their tracks before entering the laboratory.“If we had kept fighting, we would have been in trouble,” Shreya said, clenching her fists. “The bees and butterflies… if I wasn’t running low on energy, I would have made mincemeat out of them!”She soon reached the main hall of the laboratory, but to her surprise, Blue Dog had already taken Elder John hostage.“There are people in the lab?” She was surprised.“You need treatment,” John said, looking at t

Many hours later.Hawkins returned to the old laboratory. He was covered in many wounds, and one of his arms was broken, too. He was wincing in pain. “Damn that pig. Bryant and I fought him together, and yet he managed to escape from us. His defenses were too high. He must have absorbed quite a number of orange power crystals during the years he spent in the nether dungeon. Bryant said he’d give the mission of capturing Porcius to the Manglers. They are a strong group, but I doubt they can stop him.”He patiently waited outside, knowing that his daughter was still inside.He remembered the question Ria had asked after tearing her arm out because he was responsible for treating her.“Would you have cared for me if I was just a weak girl who couldn’t even defend herself?” Ria asked.Hawkins couldn’t answer that question. He let her go.Thinking back on it, Hawkins clenched his fists because deep down he knew that Ria was right. But what he didn’t know was… why did his heart ache for her
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 215
Myles opened his eyes slowly.“He’s awake,” Ria noticed that straightaway and brought claws out through her hands. To her surprise, she was able to bring claws out through her bionic hand, also.“Ria…” Myles was surprised to see her sitting a few feet away from the bed where he was lying. At the same time, he was shocked that he was able to speak. Moreover, where was he?The last thing he remembered was rotting in a cold dungeon and doing his best to survive until he got knocked out cold by Blue Dog.“How am I able to speak?” Myles looked stunned. He didn’t get his powers back, so who healed him?John calmly explained what he had done to Myles.“So you healed me through nanobots and then installed a mechanical tongue in my mouth?” Myles was astonished to hear that. “And I sound very fluent. You did a great job.”“Thanks for the compliment, but I think it’s better that you sort things out with this woman first,” John pointed at Ria. “She probably intends to kill you after you leave thi

John’s heart rang in his ears after seeing that Myles had no shadow. “A-Are you one of those vampires that loses their shadows and so they can’t roam in the sunlight?”Ria also heard about some vampires not having shadows, though she didn’t think it was real because how could a physical body not have a shadow when light was cast upon it? However, she couldn’t deny what was happening before her eyes right now. She got goosebumps from what she was seeing.“I’m not a vampire as you think,” Myles calmly said, moving away from the wall. “It’s just that the being that lived in Justin ended up stealing his shadow as well while leaving his body and snatching mine. Its powers are based on the shadows, after all, and it’s quite knowledgeable with the ways of magic.”“The power of shadows…” John’s eyes slightly enlarged. “The power to travel from one body to another through force… he’s more than likely the invisible demon.”“Invisible demon?” Myles looked puzzled because all the demons were invi

“What do you intend to do now, Ria?” asked Myles.Ria kept staring coldly at Myles for a while. She had already asked her divine weapon if Myles’ soul was really in Justin’s body, but her weapon said it wasn’t sure as it never linked with Justin before. “I came to this city to kill my father,” she said, “but I can’t do it this time around, so I’ll be following you for a while. If I get the faintest of doubt that you’re indeed Justin, then I’ll kill you there and then.”“That’s fine by me,” Myles said and looked at John. “Thanks for helping us, sir, but I would like to request one more thing from you.”“What is it?” John felt like doing anything to help.“Can you make a facial mask for me? One that lasts through fire and thunder?”“Mm, I can make that, but whose face do you want?”“Just make a new face,” Myles said. “Things may get unnecessarily complicated if I wear my old face.”“I do remember how your real face looks, so how about I create two masks? One with a fake face, and one wi
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 218
There were still a lot of tensions hanging everywhere around the city, with everyone trying to gain money or power by cashing in on the current situation.Just traveling from one ward to another required one to pay high amounts of money in secret. Those who weren’t willing to bribe the guards were forced to stay in the ward.Myles, however, traveled through one ward after another without any trouble, thanks to the platinum wolf badge. Nobody dared to question him because the platinum badge wasn’t something one could get their hands on out of pure luck. He might have not gotten it directly, but still, he must know the person who was given that badge. This was enough for people to stay out of his way.This should have made Myles' life simple, but he didn’t look happy at all. No matter where he looked, there was nothing but selfishness and wickedness on display. When one should be helping each other, everybody was trying to use the other to better themselves.This was similar to what he
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 219
Just going from one ward to another by foot was already a difficult thing right now, as the guards would shower you with a lot of questions, and so getting a pass would be anything but easy.Naturally, flying was restricted in most wards. Only officers were allowed to roam the sky. However, Ria was able to fly without a problem because of the platinum wolf badge in Myles’ possession.This badge had the power to pacify and humble even the angriest and most arrogant of officers.They were able to reach the western border safely with this badge. Still and all, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave the city by using the badge.It required a special permit in writing for anyone that wanted to leave the city. Myles and Ria didn’t have that.Ria was currently at a market. She could see the floating masses of earth on the western side of the island. There were flying guards posted on every floating mass.“How can we escape their watch?” Ria frowned. “There are thousands of them. Can even a fly es

“It’s been a few minutes since we came out,” Biskie was feeling nervous. “Myles isn’t dead, is he?”“Speak something positive for once,” Casey snorted. “There’s no way Myles would die.”“But that old woman seemed freakishly strong, and we know that Myles isn’t as strong as he used to be,” Biskie said.Sercy ended up hearing their words. “Wait, what do you mean by Myles not being as strong as he used to be? Explain more.”Biskie was startled.Myles had specifically told them to keep their pasts hidden for their own good.“Uh, it was nothing. He used to exercise a lot in the past, but now, he’s become rather lazy,” Biskie replied, laughing embarrassedly.“Do you see cauliflowers in my hair?” Sercy hissed at her. “It’s obvious that you’re lying.” She then shifted her gaze to Ria. “What are you guys hiding from me? Myles was able to cancel an attack that only the likes of halcyon knights can.“Halcyon knights work directly under the Three Kings, and they’re all formidable because they are
CHAPTER 330
Before the tornado grew large and more powerful, Myles also waved his hand as if he was pulling the curtain aside.The tornado dissipated pretty fast.Sercy and others didn’t quite understand how Myles did it, but Glint, Judas, and Wise Servant saw it.“W-What happened?” Biskie was utterly clueless.Ria took a couple of seconds to realize it as he remembered Myles’ words.Vera had four stages of manipulation: flesh, water, wind, and soul.Did Myles just undo the tornado with his vera?Sercy knew this was possible to do with vera, but it was many times harder to cancel an attack than to cast one.So, she didn’t think Myles used Vera.After all, it would take years of consistent focus and dedication to master different levels of vera.Someone who looked as young as Myles couldn’t possibly be possessing such skill, Sercy thought.“I see,” Wise Servant’s expression changed. “You’re not just some random brat. To be able to control vera to such an extent at that age… your talent rivals that
CHAPTER 329
One of the Four Great Heroes, the eccentric old lady known to eat food in restaurants and not pay the bill for not satisfying her tongue was now right before Sercy.Unlike her, Casey and Biskie didn’t know how powerful and popular the Four Great Heroes were.Ria’s instincts, however, told her that this old lady was nasty and powerful. She couldn’t calm herself down.But then, Myles put his hand on her shoulder.She didn’t know what he did, but her heart beat slowed down.“Jelly Shock!” Aero released his electric attack, but Wise Servant dispersed it with her wind ability.“Don’t struggle,” she put invisible pressure on Aero’s body, which made him feel like his eyes might pop out, and his lips would get ripped.Dusty, however, stayed silent as if he had already given up any hope on escaping.Wise Servant closed her fist and then turned to face the fellow humans.“Give me one reason why I should spare some mercy on you guys for chatting with the monster-kind?” she asked. “How can you p
CHAPTER 328
Aero’s attack was deadly enough to easily kill a group of individuals without them even realizing what happened.The table where Myles and others were sitting was utterly destroyed.However, nobody was harmed because Myles had warped them a few meters away at the last moment. The only being he didn’t warp was Dusty.Dusty took the attack head on and was injured just a little. “This is…” he didn’t take more than a second to understand who it was. “Don’t say anything and just run away!” he shouted in ant language.“What nonsense are you talking about!” Aero attacked him with his spear-like limbs. “Her Majesty trusted you and sent you on a mission, but here you are, eating sugary things!”“You idiot! I didn't have any other choice!” Dusty defended himself. “I was forced to work for these humans!”“Shame on you! How can you work for humans?” Aero grew all the more aggressive. “You surely deserve to die!”“Who is that bastard?” Sercy asked angrily because part of the cafe was destroyed by
CHAPTER 327
General Aero of the Battle Ants leaped toward the two old timers and used his jelly-like body to set himself on fire, causing a nasty explosion that covered almost a hundred feet in every direction.It was so hot the ground cracked and the metal melted.Aero used this opportunity to fly away fast. Some automated machine guns recognized this intruder and shot at it, but Aero was able to easily slip past the bullets and flew away into the distance, covering a mile per second.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stepped out of the explosion, and Wise Servant sucked in the explosion and contained it in her single hand and squashed it into nothing. The compressed flames no longer existed as a candle light would turn off.“Are you going to go after that thing, or do you want me to go instead?” she asked him.“You’re the wiser one,” Sweet Beggar picked his teeth. “So you should go, since you decided to let that little ant go.”“I thought he might lead us to the one that escaped last time,” she rep
CHAPTER 326
Outside the forever S-rank dungeon where the Battle Ants were present, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stopped playing chess and started drinking a strong tea made out of boiling many potent green herbs.And both of them felt energized and relaxed right now as they sat laid back in their chairs.Wise Servant lost in chess once again. She had been trying to win just one game of chess against him for so long. She grew experienced enough to be easily called a grandmaster of chess, but still, she was not able to win against Sweet Beggar just one more time. All she wanted was for him to forgive her and say ‘I love you’ just once more.Both of them had long crossed 100 years of age. So, they weren’t thinking of sex or anything like that. They were purely thinking about each other’s souls.Wise Servant had already beaten him 999,999 times, but she really wanted to win another game; however, Sweet Beggar didn’t make it any easier for her. He remained ruthless all the time so that she couldn’t e
CHAPTER 325
In the dungeon swarming with ants of all kinds numbered in trillions, with more of them joining the ranks as seconds passed by, this dungeon was becoming more and more of a threat to the very existence of not just the Venture city but the very existence of humanity.The queen of all ants, Queen Wiggles, was currently crunching on wafers and looked to be in bliss.“Mm… these are the best things I’ve eaten in a while,” Wiggles looked at the captain ant that brought her a single packet of wafers. “What are these things called?”“Wafter, Your Majesty,” the captain ant kept his head and antennae lowered.“Water… it’s crispy, sweet, and easily melts in your mouth,” Wiggles was drooling. “I think I can eat a mountain of these. Why did you bring only one of these?”“The guy that entered the dungeon had only one of these in his bag,” the captain ant replied.“Oh, I thought you managed to leave the dungeon and then come back inside,” Wiggles said. “But some fool entered the dungeon, huh. Did you
CHAPTER 324
Sercy found an A-rank healer, but he asked for a lot of gold in order to heal Judas and Glint because it wouldn’t be an easy task.“Instead of money, I’ll give you the spoils of an A-rank dungeon we’ll clear,” Sercy told him.“That’s even better,” the healer happily agreed to it.After forming a contract, he came to the Dawn guild to heal Judas and Glint. However, when he approached Judas, Judas attacked him by grabbing his throat and lifting him up.“Who do you think you are…” Judas coldly said. “Did I give you the permission to heal me?”“Judas!” Sercy unleashed a flaming punch and struck his face, sending him flying into the wall right next to him. His head went halfway through the wall. “How drunk are you to attack a guest who came to help you!”Judas pulled his head out of the wall and spat a few pieces of bricks out. “I’m not drunk, Sercy. And I don’t want to get healed because I’m perfectly fine.”“No, you’re not fine. You are mentally disturbed,” Sercy blurted.“Hmph, you thi
CHAPTER 323
In Basil District.Sercy and Ria were heading toward a certain address.“Why did we have to travel so far?” Ria expressed discomfort without hesitation. “Couldn’t you find any healer near our district?”“I could, but I doubt they can fully heal Judas and Master Glint,” Sercy replied. “Judas has been drinking a lot. I’m sure his liver and other organs are not healthy. We need a proper health potion that can improve his health significantly. And Master Glint also needs to drink a health potion because he’s not eating properly.”“His daughter died long ago, so why is he still depressed?” Ria asked.Sercy glanced at her with a bit of a surprised look. “You lack emotional depth. Were you not raised by your parents?”Ria frowned. “Do I have to be raised by my parents to know a father’s love?”“...Not really,” Sercy said. “Some lives can be explained by pen, but some… only by pain. By emotion. If we haven’t experienced the same emotions ourselves, it’ll be hard for us to put ourselves in oth
