The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 52
Blood began leaking out of Myles’ eyes, ears, nose, mouth, navel, and more. If it was someone else, they would have probably suffered a heart attack and died already, but Myles somehow bore the severe pain. He had to. Even though whenever the spiritual poison acted up, he felt terribly weak, he had to bear the pain, as showing any form of weakness would only make things worse for him.“Void Drain.”He put his hand on his chest and drained the poisonous vapor of the mother worm out of his body forcefully. While that helped ease the pain a little, the damage was already done.(One moment of carelessness…) He collapsed forward in a way his cheek hit the ground. And he passed out.The cobra crystal appeared in his hand, though his hand was clenched at the moment.The aerial barrier surrounding Maria, Rosie and others vanished into thin air.Maria was the first one to wake up. Looking around, she had no clue what had happened. Her eyes suddenly widened as she remembered the moment the gian

“Die!” Verella leaped and swiped her claws at Maria. “Bhel Cross!” Flames burst out of her claws and exploded upon impact. Maria activated the Aqua Field in time and suppressed the explosion but she was still pushed back. Verella swiveled toward Rosie and whipped her leg from above Myles’ body. “Great Dragon Cleaver!” Rosie blocked the attack by making a cross with her forearms, but her forearm utterly broke, and Verella’s shin pounded Rosie’s face and sent her rolling back on the sand like a rag doll. Her nose turned into a grotesquerie, and blood poured out nonstop. (She’s built differently than Blue Dog.) Rosie lifted her right hand, and the water from the ocean came to her like a living body and boosted her healing capacity and also stamina. Her broken nose and arm began healing at a rapid rate. Verella looked surprised. (Drawing sustenance even from salt water?) Now she understood why Maria looked so young despite being in late forties. (They have a huge advantage in this loca
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 54
They say people who rarely get angry would turn into demons when they do get angry. That was definitely the case for Shreya Soso who once held a comfortable position in the top 1000 alphas of the world.She did not care if there was an innocent civilian or an ignorant ant on the beach. She gained control over every sand particle sight and forged giant desert blades out of them in millions and cast them on the alphas that were fighting and flexing their arrogance on the beach.It happened too fast for those involved in the fight to be able to dodge them. Both Verella and Maria got struck by them head on. Rosie, however, was able to create a spinning water sphere around her that managed to neutralize the sand blades. But Rosie was worried about Myles because he was unconscious and not in a position to defend himself.For a long fifteen seconds, terror reigned over the beach. By the time all the blades crashed down, the border wall in that region was utterly destroyed. A massive depressi

Rosie collapsed on her knees as the liquids in her body bubbled and went out of control.“Elemental fields are one of the strong points of the dragon crystals and what make dragons such terrifying creatures,” Shreya uttered, “but the elemental fields can only be used when the caster is calm and composed. And when you lose your temper, I can easily bend your water sword or even make your bones fly out of your body ONE-BY-ONE.” Shreya gestured with her finger, and much of Rosie’s hair was forcibly pulled out of her scalp, making her scream some more.“What should I pull out this time?” Shreya asked. “A tooth, or your trachea bone?” she shook her head. “No. I can’t give you a quick death.”Shreya gripped Rosie by the hair and ground her teeth as she remembered Ayan and how the city was destroyed because of Rosie and Maria.“I’ll disintegrate your body cell by cell,” Shreya focused her gaze, and the skin on Rosie’s face began to peel off, making her squeal and groan.Meanwhile, Blue Dog a

Cries of civilians floated on the wings of the breeze. Myles’ heart thudded deeply in his chest as he saw their souls rising up into the sky, sprinkled about like stars.Seconds. Minutes. Time kept rolling, and each breath held little to no meaning as he sat there, doing nothing but watch the alphas fighting for the cobra crystal and not at all caring that the citizens were still dying from the attacks of the prisoners that had escaped.Myles’ attack ‘Mystic Shower’ had destroyed all the baby worms, but he hadn’t foreseen the probability of the prisoners escaping and attacking the people and the remaining mages even in such a sad situation. These criminals showed how much hatred they held against the common people and the cobra city in general for keeping them behind bars. Most of them were also mages, and they cruelly killed people without a second thought, and some even got wicked pleasure out of it.These actions aggravated Myles, to say the least. While he did not really care for

“I know she has a strong water ability,” Blue Dog glanced at Shreya, “but you think she can make it to the nearest island safely, while carrying her daughter who’s only going to be a burden? I find it hard to believe. Only Doyens can do such incomprehensible things.” “She’s not a Doyen yet, but if she learns to manipulate oxygen in the air, then she’ll be an extremely difficult fighter to beat for any alpha in the world,” Shreya opined. “We must take her down before that.” “So you really intend to go after her.” “I lost my precious library, and you also lost your precious students. All because of the Aqua Duo.” Neither Shreya nor Blue Dog knew that it was actually Lexi who brought the mother worm to the city, and they thought the mother worm somehow managed to infiltrate the city. Mother Worm was known to be weak in water, so it must have stealthily snuck into the city through the transport vehicles, they believed. Either way, it didn’t matter now because the city was already destr

“I regret leaving you,” Casey fell to her knees and cried out till tears overflowed out of her eyes. Even the clouds in the skies wouldn’t produce water so fast. “That’s the worst decision of my life. And it was Kong who made me do it. I swear I won’t make the same mistake again. So, please give me another chance.”“That’s…” Justin felt greatly conflicted. Seeing her cry like an abandoned little deer made him feel bad for her, but then again, he had bawled on the shore for months, hoping anyone would help him or at least be kind enough to end his miserable life, but no one heard his voice until some random stranger cared enough to not only listen but also to cure his sickness.“I’ll be obedient, Justin,” Casey begged. “Don’t abandon me here. I don’t want to die.”Justin pursed his lips. “It’s not in my hands. I’m also at my friend’s mercy.”“Please, Justin,” Casey hugged his legs and cried some more. “Please…”“I’ll take you with me and ask him, but if he rejects…”“I’m sure your frie

“Die!” Shreya squeezed and twisted Myles’ throat like she was squeezing juice out of sugarcane, and he bled from the mouth.“Shreya!” Verella immediately struck Shreya’s arm hard enough she was forced to let go of him.Myles coughed some more blood as he staggered and gasped for air. If Verella hadn’t stopped Shreya, his head might have already separated from his torso.Justin, Casey, and Biskie were sweating and gulping their saliva in trepidation. They felt like their lives were insignificant, and Shreya could kill them whenever she wanted.“Why are you defending this man who fought on the side of Aqua Duo?” Shreya demanded an answer, ready to fight if necessary.“He fought on their side? What do you mean?” Verella looked clueless.Blue Dog then explained everything. “Not only did he side with those criminals, he managed to snatch the cobra crystal out of Shreya’s hand. You think anyone can do that? He’s clearly hiding his strength.”Verella looked at Myles. “Are they speaking the t

“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
