The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 300
Bragger had frozen Ria’s body with a sword strike. However, he could still see her eyes moving inside the ice boulder.“My ‘brio’ ice couldn’t penetrate through her flesh?” He was surprised. “I’m sure she didn’t use ‘vera,’ so how did she…”Ria broke through the ice and attacked him with her claws. Her strikes grew more powerful now. He could feel that her power was almost doubled. Even her speed increased. Her body began to release a strange ethereal energy that he could only feel but can’t see.“How are you able to suddenly boost your strength?” Bragger grew angry as well as annoyed. “I didn’t see you consume anything. So, what sort of trick are you pulling?” He covered his sword with blood-red ‘vera’ and unleashed a vortex-like sword thrust at Ria. She defended herself with the invisible divine shield.CRACK~!Ria was startled. (The barrier is cracking?)“He’s using some form of advanced life energy!” Aegis warned Ria. “You’re not powerful enough to fight this man yet. You have to
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 301
In the headquarters of the Greed guild.A top healer from another district had to be brought to heal Nabal first. It took a lot of effort from the healer to repair the damaged intestines and remove the blood that had leaked.In two hours, Nabal was treated. He was advised to not move around for two days.After the healer left, Bragger entered the room.“How is Red Cat?” Nabal asked him.“She’s already itching to go against them once more, but I advised her not to,” Bragger sat down on the small stool. His sword was still decorating his waist.“Myles Mertzel… That guy’s warp ability is one big pain in the ass,” Nabal felt so ashamed just thinking about how he was humiliated. “But it’s really surprising that you, even you, couldn’t defeat him.”“I think we got away easy,” Bragger’s mouth turned down.Nabal’s eyes slightly widened. “Are you telling me… he let us escape?”Bragger raised his forearm a bit and showed him. “My hairs are still standing up. They’re not going down. That guy’s v
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 302
A few hours after the Dawn and Greed guild members fought, Myles and everyone else except Sercy was waiting at the portal. The dungeon behind them looked like a half-cut apricot and was giving off faint vapors, which suggested that it was a forever dungeon.“She’s taking so long,” Casey was growing impatient. “When are we going to enter the dungeon? I was so excited when I came here, but now… I’m feeling mentally tired.”“She said she’s going to talk with the bureau about this first,” Biskie said. “It’s understandable because she almost died.”“I doubt that the bureau will take a serious action,” Ria opined.“Why wouldn’t they?” Casey asked. “Fighting between guilds is prohibited, whether it’s inside or outside the dungeon. The rules clearly state that, and they attacked us when we tried to enter a dungeon that we booked. If the bureau doesn’t act even now, then they’re going to lose people’s trust.”“I agree with Casey,” Biskie said. “I think Sercy had to leave because she probably w
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 303
The moment Sercy and others entered the dungeon, they felt strong heat waves washing past their bodies, making them sweat very fast.However, it was the suffocating scenery before them that really grabbed their total attention. They were at the base of a chain of giant volcanic mountains which made low-vibrating noises all around. Moreover, they could see wyverns flying about high in the sky.“Wow…” Casey and Biskie’s mouths stayed open as there were at least two dozen dots they could see in the sky. “A-Are all those flying things dragons?”“No. They are wyverns,” Sercy gritted her teeth. “I should have guessed when the bureau bastards gave us this dungeon without much resistance.”“What? Why?” Ria quickly asked. “Is there something wrong with wyverns?”“Yeah. An adult Wyvern is easily as strong as your average A-ranker. The fire they breathe isn’t as destructive as that of a dragon, but a wyvern’s breath is highly poisonous!” Sercy hissed in frustration. “And you should particularly
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 304
None of the ladies were prepared for the word ‘warp,’ but when that word came out of his mouth, their bodies reacted fast and assumed positions.Over a mile high in the sky, Myles appeared on top of a wyvern that was happily hovering through the sky along with its buddies, seemingly having the time of their lives. However, the moment Myles landed on its back. Its agile tail came whipping at him.Wyverns’ tails were long and can reach all the way to their necks, so the tail easily reached Myles, seeking to smack him to death.Myles, however, blocked the tail with his bone staff, and then half of the bone staff elongated and wrapped itself around the tail.The wyvern pulled its tail back. Myles let it whip him around with the tail, but he forcibly spun the beast over his head and roared like a barbarian as he drew more strength into his arms. “Oryaa!” he threw the giant wyvern over his shoulder and down to the ground that was over a mile below him.The wyvern came shooting down so fast.
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 305
Myles used his ‘warp’ ability in tandem with his ‘vera’ to be able to withstand the speed and might of numerous wyverns and magnificently maneuvered himself so that he wouldn't be ganged up on by these monsters. Though Ria flew into the sky, she forgot her mission and kept staring at Myles fighting the wyverns. Because she had the ability of a hawk, her eyes were able to see differently compared to others, so she was able to tell that Myles’ movements were abnormal.“He’s not moving like a human normally would,” Ria thought. “It’s as if he’s acting on his instincts instead of his thoughts, almost like an animal. And his ‘vera,’ is able to withstand the tail-attacks of the wyverns. I’m sure he learned the concept of vera not long ago, so how’s he able to master it to such an extent? I didn’t even see him practice when we were traveling across the seas. Do you mean to tell me he’s achieved such mastery in the few weeks he’s been in this city?”Ria’s pride made it difficult for her to s
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 306
A group of wyverns went after Ria. She took pride in her speed more than anything else. After throwing the wyvern’s body aside, she dashed through the sky as fast as she could. To her surprise, the wyverns were able to keep up with her speed.“Damn, these guys truly are commanders of the skies,” Ria used her feathers to keep messing with the sight of the wyverns by targeting their eyes, forcing them to keep dodging and defending themselves.Ria kept heading north, toward the center of the mountain chain, where she noticed a humongous wyvern lying on the ground. It seemed injured, but when Ria saw that beast, the wyvern opened its eyes and looked up.A wave of energy suddenly blasted forth and filled the entire mountain chain, spreading tens of miles all around. Ria who was the closest felt her body being gripped with great pain everywhere, and she coughed blood and lost her ability to fly.At the same time, Casey and Biskie also experienced something similar to Ria, and their muscles
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 307
“Don’t do it,” Ria warned. “What if that thing swallows your weapon and then attacks us?”Myles still tossed the bone staff into the wyvern king’s mouth.The wyvern king swallowed it without any hesitation and grinned. Ria’s doubt had come true.All the wyverns surrounding them immediately cast a combined spell that created a barrier around them, so that neither Myles nor Ria will be able to escape.“We’re fucked,” Ria’s heart raced like never before. There were more than fifty wyverns surrounding them, so she didn’t think she’d be able to fight even half of them and survive, let alone win.“Are you done upgrading my staff?” Myles asked, shocking Ria.“Hey, you still don’t get it?” Ria asked angrily. “They are planning to kill us both!”“She’s right,” the wyvern king laughed wickedly. “You and everyone that entered our realm will become our food. Once we’re done with casting the spell our ancestors left, we’ll be able to break into the earth with full strength. We’ll get back the land

“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
