The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 242
A minute earlier.Inside the dungeon, a group of four men were sitting right next to the entrance, playing cards.“When the Dawn guild members enter, we’re going to give them the most painful death there is,” the leader of the group, a Master D-ranker, said.“Brother Fabian, why does our guild hate that trash guild so much?” a group member asked. “I feel like we’re wasting our precious time for that pathetic guild that’s ranked at the bottom in the country.”“Don’t tell this to anyone, but our guild leader was the ex-girlfriend of the Dawn guild’s leader,” Fabian replied.“Eh?” Everyone was shocked because the Greed guild’s guildmaster was a Master A-ranker. “H-How’s that possible? How can she be interested in the guildmaster of that worthless guild?”“Well, the Dawn guild wasn’t worthless in the past.”“Ah, you’re right. So, the Dawn guild’s guildmaster must have cheated on her. That’s why she wants revenge, right?”“I don’t know the specific details,” Fabian responded, putting the c
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 243
Myles and the mighty ogre charged at one another. The ogre was fast despite its size. It didn’t throw a punch but just tried to grab with its hand so it could devour the human straight away.Myles imbued ‘vera’ into the bone staff and thrust it sideways at the last second.The staff reacted to his energy and shapeshifted into a sharpened pencil-like tool and skewered through the ogre’s palm.The ogre growled in pain and couldn’t control the momentum and ended up crashing, elblow-first.The staff in Myles’ hand now turned into a sword-like tool. Holding the weapon with his left hand, he swung it sideways vertically from below. A projectile slash of energy cleaved through the ogre’s neck, spraying the blood everywhere.The weapon in Myles’ hand turned back to being the regular, cheap-looking bone staff.“This weapon… I was right about it,” Myles thought. “It absorbs a person’s blood and reacts according to the wielder’s thoughts. It’s already strengthened by someone, but it just grew mor
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 244
Myles ran like his life depended on it.The four ogres chased him like dogs in heat. The terrain didn’t bother them anywhere near as much as it did Myles. The tall rocks made it so he couldn’t run straight, and so the ogres caught up with him rather quickly.However, Myles intention was to not escape from them, but to use the boulders to his advantage. He moved around like a snake and avoided getting snatched by them.Still, to Myles’ shock, the ogres grabbed boulders and threw them down at him.Myles was forced to cut the boulders down with his bone sword.And he found himself surrounded by the four ogres from every direction. They were all growling so loudly any common man would easily discolor their pants. Myles still didn’t even have a frown on his face.Myles split the sword into twin swords that were both much thinner. As the ogres came at him from every direction, he spun axially and created a tornado of energy that sliced the ogres into many pieces.Myles himself looked a litt
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 245
Myles’ words angered the ogres to no end.“You ant!” one of the ogres on his left leaped at him and swung its giant spiked club.Myles covered his hand with ‘vera’ and stopped the club with his bare hand and bent the spikes and dug his fingers into the club with brute force. The entire club cracked and crumbled into pieces. Myles immediately leaped and grabbed the ogre’s face and did the same thing to his face, turning the ogre’s face into a grotesquerie.Now, Myles’ hand was much smaller compared to the ogre’s face. However, because he covered his hand with red-hot energy, he was able to affect the entire ogre’s face as well as the brain and everything in the head.The ogre crashed on the floor and moved no more. Myles pierced the bone staff in the ogre’s belly through the navel, and the weapon began to suck all the blood as well as the flesh, leaving nothing but skin and some organs. Even the bones of the ogre were broken to bits and were consumed.The ogres were even more shocked b

Ria was swatting flies while walking to and fro in the room. There was dirt everywhere, so she didn’t even want to sit anywhere.“This one seems to be tougher dungeon than the last, but I hope he comes out right now. I don’t like staying in this type of a building.”Just then, Myles walked out of the portal.Ria blinked twice. “Myles. Is that you?”“Yes. It’s me,” Myles replied a bit emotionally. “Have you finally realized that it’s me and not Justin?”Ria shook her head slightly. “No. I’m still not 100% sure. Anyway, what monsters are inside this dungeon? They must have been weak since you came out faster than I expected.”“Ogres. They’re strong, but they’re also foolish, which is why I was able to finish it fast,” Myles said. Having fought the ogre king and obtained his ring that a warping ability, he knew how much more difficult beating the ogre king and his men would have been had the ogre king used that warp ability efficiently in the middle of the fight. Heck, even the ogre king

"Bwahaha,” Sercy was over the moon. She cheered the glasses with Ria and Myles. What was in the glasses wasn’t alcohol but banana juice. “I totally expected you to succeed, but not this fast, to be honest. You two surely exceeded my expectations.”“You are happy even though we didn’t bring out any weapons with us?” Myles asked.“It’s okay,” Sercy sipped on the juice and said. “We’ll still get a share of what the dungeon bureau salvages from the dungeon. The only bad thing is that some share goes to the Greed guild as well since their members had entered the dungeon and died.”“Even dying is seen as contribution?”“It’s more of a compensation than contribution,” Sercy said. “Anyway, we don’t have to worry about our guild being closed, so drink all you want.”“It’s just a banana juice, though,” Ria didn’t like this juice all that much.“Don’t be so shy,” Sercy roughly patted Ria’s shoulder. “You won’t get fat if you drink banana juice just once.” She poured more juice in Ria’s glass, ma

Eric thought Ria's forearm would break, but nothing of the sort happened.With a wave of her arm, Ria pushed him back.Eric appeared visibly surprised. He was a Genteel B-ranker, but this young lady managed to block his punch like it wasn't much. "Who are you?""She's our new recruit," Sercy happily said. She did not expect Ria to be this strong."New recruit?" Eric's brows knitted together. "Don't tell me, you sent her into the D-rank dungeon as well?""I didn't know she was this strong.""Didn't you evaluate them before sending them to the dungeon?""Our evaluating equipment was broken, so…" Sercy tried to speak without looking embarrassed.Eric's jaw hardened. He could see that both Ria and Myles had wristlets on them. “So they were never D-rankers to begin with. No wonder they could finish those dungeons by themselves.” He glared at Sercy. “They should have never entered those dungeons. If a dungeon break happens because of your mistake, it won’t just end up with an impeachment f
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 249
Myles couldn’t have been any clearer with his words, but Eric still said, “I can’t give you this city, but by being in the bureau, you can enter the dungeons to inspect them or for other reasons. You will mostly be working inside and around the dungeons, and so you will be able to level up a lot faster than if you were to, let’s say, work in a poor guild.”“Mm, your offer is definitely tempting,” Myles said, making Sercy’s heart skip, “but the thing is I don’t like working in big organizations as they tend to be very corrupt. I try to stay away from corruption, so I can’t join the bureau.”If it was just a random person who said such words, then Eric would have attacked that person straight away, but since he was talking with an Ace D-ranker, he employed his patience to the highest level. “Mr. Myles… The bureau will provide you a house, give you a weekly salary, and you’ll get a lot of fame as well. All these things are certain rewards.”“Oh, c’mon,” Sercy intervened. “You’re been spo

“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
