The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 42
“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
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 43
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
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 44
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.
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 45
Rosie jumped in and blocked Johnson’s huge claws with her water sword. Maria created a water whip and tightly sealed Blue Dog up.“The crystal is destroyed,” Rosie reasoned with a stern voice. “What are you guys still fighting for?”“Yeah,” Maria backed her daughter. “Let us leave this city. If we fight here, your city will suffer further destruction.”Dave raised both of his hands. Holes opened up in his palms and shot out four nets, which caught all four of those involved in battle and also Myles and Justin.The black metallic wires moved on their own and rearranged themselves so that they freed Blue Dog and Johnson before sealing up the mother and daughter and Myles and Justin in one large net.“Dammit,” Rosie felt her energy being drained. “Is this net made of stardium?” She couldn’t use her water ability anymore. Nanoparticles flowed out of the net and seeped into her skin and infiltrated her body and caused an internal shock. She was brought to her knees.Dave looked at Maria. “
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 46
Verella had just broken free out of the petrification. And she was gasping. “Nobody told me Amir had such a deadly attack. If I was prepared, I wouldn’t have suffered such a humiliating defeat. Nobody has seen it, right?” she looked around, and there were a lot of institute’s students and teachers that were looking right at her. (Ah! Shit. There goes all my fame down the drain! Mm?) Her ears caught rumbling noises that came from below. She came to the edge and looked down.At least a square mile of land was all eaten up by the herculean worm, which also swallowed all the alphas along with it and came soaring straight up toward Verella.Verella had no time to ponder about the people on the island. She immediately jumped away, and the giant worm went onto gobble up the two halves of the floating institute and all the students and teachers along with it.Verella was shocked by its sheer size, but after seeing how its body kept shedding smaller worms through its skin, her expression froze
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 47
The baby worms were so hungry they tried to eat everything in sight, whether it be benches in the street or the living and breathing humans, it seemingly made not much of a difference to them. Their baby teeth were already able to dig through wood and metal with little effort.A group of worms attacked a skyscraper and began eating its walls and pillars from the lower floors, causing the whole building to crumble. This resulted in the deaths of thousands, but the worms drilled through the rubble and ate the dead humans, not leaving anything precious untouched.Though the mages were doing their best to stop the worms, either directly confronting the worms with their own strength or by using the drones to shoot them from the sky. However, the sheer number of worms still proved extremely difficult to handle. Many worms managed to either kill the mages or slip through their defenses.Sukazu, a delta mage, used his star seal to craft wind attacks to send worms flying in every direction. Ho
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 48
The loud cry of the Mother Worm was enough to eat away the confidence of not just civilians but many of the mages as well. However, the Mother Worm that was still standing up like a tower sprayed yellowish spit high into the air. And it fell everywhere in the city and melted everything it touched. The humans or the metal structures, it didn’t matter.And the melted masses were happily gorged on by the baby worms that also ate away the yellowish spit of their mother.It was truly a gut-stirring sight to watch even for Dave who had seen his own share of battles in his lifetime. He was someone who experimented even on innocent children for the sake of research, but he still valued human life. So he felt enraged to see so many souls dying left and right.“This damned monster wasn’t this big when I last saw it years ago. How did it grow so big?”Stardium worked effectively on human mages, but it wasn’t much effective on critters, so Dave had to use his technological prowess to tackle this
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 49
Lexi was riding her flying lizard and was observing all the ongoing destruction, wearing a neutral face.The low-level mages that used star-seals couldn’t fight back against the baby worms for long because their weapons had restrictions and limits. And without their weapons, they were no better than sitting ducks against these voracious worms. Only those mages who had absorbed a star crystal’s power were able to use skills on their own, without having to rely on faulty star-seals, and somewhat withstood the attack of the baby worms.A baby worm managed to fly past the lizard’s tongue and reached Lexi, but after smelling her scent, it stopped attacking and started licking her. “Good boy,” Lexi patted the worm before throwing it into the air. The lizard caught it with the tongue and pulled it into its mouth and chewed on it. Lexi kept smiling.The lizard flew to where the Mother Worm was, and Dave kept fighting the giant beast alone when everyone else had fallen. Parts of his body also

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

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

CHAPTER 322
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

CHAPTER 321
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

CHAPTER 320
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
