The tree branches broke into the library and destroyed the shelves and everything there. But Myles, Verella, and Justin had already left the library.

They were outside and watching the horror take place right before their eyes. While Verella didn’t show much of a reaction, Justin was terrified by seeing the young students dying left and right. The students in the cobra institute were all preteens, young teens, or teenagers. Seeing them impaled almost froze Justin’s body in dread.

Myles, on the other hand, didn’t like what he was seeing. The cries of the teenagers, every single cry, reached his ears, but he tried not to let their voices touch his heart.

Just then, a ten-year-old was dragged by a branch right before his eyes. Justin was too shook by fear to move, whereas Verella seemed to not care that people were dying, as if she had seen things like this before.

Myles had also seen things like these, things way worse and horrific than these, but the ten-year-old’s miserable voice sayi

    All the wooden bullets struck Myles, or so it seemed for a second. But the bullets actually stopped millimeters close to Myles.“What the hell?” Amir got perplexed for a second. The bullets turned around and flew at Amir with triple the speed. He swatted them away with his hand and looked at Myles in surprise. “I see. So you were hiding your strength. Now I believe that you took my son out.” He raised his hand and clenched it. Spiky branches grew all around Myles and tried to impale him from every direction.Myles jumped into the air and dodged from the deadly attack.“Got you!” Amir raised his hands, and his fingers extended into branches and shot themselves at the target up in the air. “Ten Snake Threat!”Like living snakes, the ten branches rose up toward Myles at a great speed. Suddenly, Verella broke free from the forest binding her and slashed her claws at the ten wooden snakes and tore through them with effort.“Krgh,” Amir felt so much pain as if he lost his own fingers. He gr

    “Myles! Run away!” Justin screamed. He had seen enough betrayals to know that Verella was probably going to sell Myles away for her own benefit. Even though shouting like this was going to put him at risk, he still ended up warning Myles anyway.“What a nuisance,” Amir flicked his fingers and sent a wooden bullet flying at Justin. Before it struck his forehead, Myles caught it.Justin couldn’t even see Myles coming, but his eyes teared up seeing Myles save him once again.Myles looked at Verella with a disappointed expression because she was going to let Justin die. She might also let him die.“Myles…” Verella said aloud. “Are you going to surrender yourself to him if I ask you to?”“I won’t,” Myles responded without hesitating. “A master needs to act in the wellbeing of his slave, in the same way a slave must act in the wellbeing of his master. Otherwise, the master-slave game is all null and void.”“That’s not the master-slave definition in my dictionary, though,” Verella grinned. “

    “Impossible!” Amir couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Until now, nobody had ever broken out of his Grand Freezing like Myles just did.“You’re attacking me because I killed your son,” Myles stated. “I can understand that, but what did the students of this institute do to you? If killing them is justifiable, don’t you think I can justify your son’s death even more?”“Shut the fuck up!” Amir howled and recklessly attacked Myles with his bare fist. But it was stopped with just a mere finger. Amir’s face turned pale. His punch that could destroy a boulder into smithereens was blocked by Myles’ forefinger. “H-How’s this possible?”Myles looked into Amir’s eyes and saw his past. When Amir was a kid, his parents used to fight everyday, and then they would show all their frustration on him. They only had horrible words for him. Growing up, home was like hell to him. Maybe that was why he completely let his son Emery live however he wanted.“It’s important to give you children freedom,” Myle

    Rosie and Maria dove through the underwater tunnel system, and reached the outskirts of the city. They both came out through a pond built next to a park. They weren’t gasping or anything, as they were able to breathe underwater.Maria looked around but found no sign of other alphas around. “Great. They must be looking in the wrong direction for us. We’ll have enough time to leave this city.”“But I don’t want to leave without Phil,” Rosie expressed her opinion.Maria couldn’t hide her anger this time. “Are you out of your fucking mind?” she rapped her daughter’s head with her knuckles. “Do you think you would have stood a chance against the alphas if they had used stardium weapons on you?”“But they hadn’t, had they?”“That’s because they wanted to take the cobra crystal back from us. They won’t be the same the second time.”“If you want, you can go, but I will go and find Phil,” Rosie ran away.“This little fool,” Maria didn’t want to use her powers and attract unnecessary attention,

    When Justin got pushed from the floating island, he screamed so hard his uvula was very much up for view.Piss escaped through his fleshy pipe in the pants before he knew it. But his crying didn’t slow his fall by any means. Those few seconds passed by faster than ever. He gave up on his life, though his throat still kept screaming.Just as he was crashing in the middle of a street, a bubble rose out of the ground and cushioned him and trapped him inside, completely robbing him of his momentum. And then the bubble popped.Myles landed next to him, his feet softly tapping the ground.Justin was still in so much shock he couldn’t believe he was still alive.Myles shut his own nose. “I didn’t know you’d piss in your pants. Or, I wouldn’t have pushed you. Let’s get a change of clothes.”There wasn’t much crowd at all around them because most people had run away from that location, afraid that the floating island might collapse any moment.Alpha Johnson was coincidentally passing by at a s

    “The cobra crystal is mine!” Dr. Dave looked pretty determined as he flew over to where the reading had come up.Just as he got there, the crystal disappeared out of Myles hand as Myles thought Justin might not be able to bear the poisonous power of the crystal. After all, not just anybody could absorb crystals. From what Justin himself had told him, eating critters’ meat or mutated plant matter were the two best ways to boost one’s physical capabilities. And then one would be able to absorb a star crystal’s power much better.Otherwise, the chances of people dying from swallowing even simple, low-ranked star crystals were moderately high.Even though Justin had worked as a border guard, he was never able to eat even a single chunk of critter meat because all the beasts caught or killed were taken away. They weren’t allowed to eat any, for eating these critters without permission would result in hefty fines and also time spent in prison.When Dr. Dave arrived where Myles and Justin we

    Justin’s heart jumped into his throat when he saw the huge piece of land come falling down onto him. “AHHH!” Before he knew it, he screamed and jumped and sat upon Myles’ waist.“Heaven’s Net,” Myles uttered, and the massive piece of land stopped midway and floated in the air.“Eh?” Justin couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “What did you do? Why did it stop like that?”“Close,” Myles closed his fist, and the massive piece of land vanished into thin air.Justin’s face froze like that of a monkey that had seen a magic trick. He had no clue how Myles pulled it off. “What in the world did I just see?”“Forget about that,” Myles said, looking a little disgusted, “but you should first get down. You rubbed all your pee-soaked pants on my shirt.”“U-Uh,” Justin jumped down, “my bad. I’m really sorry.” He never jumped in fear like that before. He had seen many fights and been part of many as well, but a mountain sized land coming down from the sky was beyond scary. He was glad that he didn’t

    On his way down the floating institute, Dave sent a message to all the alphas of the city using his neurons to trigger a wireless message like telepathy. The nanochips embedded on the back of their necks sent sensory information, which was received and perceived by their neurons pretty fast.At that moment, Dave also received an alert message that the message couldn’t be delivered to Alpha Amir. Dave checked the live heart status with his thought process alone, and he saw that the reading was zero, which meant that Amir somehow removed the nanochip from his body or Amir died.Dave didn’t have the time to wonder what was the case because he landed on the ground, only a few feet away from Rosie and Maria. He could feel the power of the cobra crystal coming from Rosie’s hand.“So, it is with you two, after all,” Dave grinned. “Give it to me.”Shreya and Blue Dog also arrived, wearing cold looks on their faces. In a couple of seconds, the other alphas flashed before them, except for Lexi.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    The glass cube was torn open like it was jelly, which genuinely dropped Sercy’s jaw for a second.Dusty was also not expecting that at all, but he grinned as he unsheathed his sword, ready to attack Myles. However, just when his eyes looked up and his gaze was set on Myles, he suddenly felt invisible pressure crushing him down from every direction.Myles was not even moving his eyelids, but Dusty couldn’t move. In fact, his body was trembling slightly. (What’s this feeling?) He looked very anxious. (This regal aura he’s giving… It’s as if I’m looking at Her Majesty. No, perhaps, dare I say… he’s even greater than Her Majesty Wiggles?)“Myles!” Sercy yelled. “How did you do that? I mean, how could you do that!” She quickly caught Dusty with her hand. “What if this little monster is more dangerous than we think?”“Then why are you holding it in your hand?” Ria asked.“B-Because he’s like a little doll,” Sercy said. “I feel like squeezing him to death.”“Eeek!” Dusty was terrified by her

    Myles and Ria came to the canteen while Biskie and Casey were so tired and beaten they had to take rest in the basement training grounds. Myles wasn’t the one who fought them, but they fought each other to the extreme just to test them and so wounded themselves a bit too much.“Our guild has good core fighters now,” Sercy told them while they were eating crunchy leaf burgers. “We only lack a good healer. If we can get someone who can not just heal the wounds but also boost our skills, it’d be wonderful.”“Someone who can do those things will be in high demand,” Ria opined. “Do we have enough money to recruit such a person?”“Money? Screw that,” Sercy snorted. “I want someone who will willingly work with us and share our burdens and not expect too much in return. I don’t want those types that go after money and fame as they cannot fit into anything. They are only going to abandon you when a better opportunity knocks on their door.” She then looked at Myles. “You explored some districts

    Dusty stealthily entered the guild building, expecting there to be tight security. However, all he found was an old man mumbling something in his sleep.“What’s this? They have the dragon king’s item, and they’re this relaxed?” Dusty frowned. “Are they that confident in their abilities, or are they just that stupid?”Nevertheless, he kept his guard on and traveled in the hall while using the objects as his cover.He saw Sercy who was loudly talking at her reception desk.“I’m telling you that I will buy those lands!” Sercy was shouting. “Sell me those infested lands, you bastards! If you do that, We’ll become ghost-venerers for you and clear three dungeons of your choice in the next year. How does that sound?”“Five dungeons for three years is okay for me.”“Three years is too long, and five dungeons is too much,” Sercy said. “Three dungeons and one year is final.”When a dungeon breaks, the nearby lands and environment get corrupted. This would cause the value of that land to drop, e
