Hearing Philip's remarks, Greg's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. He did not expect Philip to know his secret. “W-What are you talking about? Puppetry? What’s that?” Greg stammered. He would never admit it. The art of puppetry was his life-saving trump card. He would never reveal it except as a last resort. “Philip, although I’m usually a bit arrogant and domineering, I’m not a bad person. All my fellow students can give you very good feedback about me.” He trembled in fear at the sight of Aslan’s ferocious look. Greg regretted his actions for abandoning his puppets. If he still had control over many puppets, he could have gotten them to surround the villa! If Philip and the others arrived later, he could make new puppets to help him kill or do whatever he wanted. He felt very rueful, and Philip looked at his silent remorse in exasperation. “Aslan, follow his scent to track them down.” Philip did not want to waste time. He just wanted to find the evid
Aslan easily carried Greg into the formation and crushed the eye of the formation with one stomp of his foot. The formation that could isolate everything and consume people's energy vanished into thin air. Since the formation was not completely under Greg’s control, he did not notice even when someone crushed the eye and destroyed the formation. To put it simply, Greg and the formation were just using each other. If this went on long-term, he would be devoured by the formation and become its nourishment. As soon as they entered the bomb shelter, the strong stench of blood overwhelmed them, making everyone frown. They walked closer and found piles of corpses. Philip recognized some of them as very outgoing fellow students. He grimaced at this scene. They died for no reason and suffered pain and various torture before they died. It would be unfair to them if Greg died easily. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Even though he was a monster beast, Aslan could n
“Fennel,” Philip said softly. A vine slithered over from a corner and bound Greg tightly to a wall. Aslan stepped forward with a smile. Sharp nails appeared on his fingers, and he scratched Greg’s neck forcefully. However, it was just for display. In reality, his movements were very gentle. His action merely caused some superficial wounds on Greg. Philip waved his hand and sprinkled some powder over the wounds. “Greg, your wounds will never heal. Enjoy the feeling as your blood drains from your body one drop at a time,” Philip said emotionlessly. Greg was in despair. He never dreamed that Philip would be so cruel. Greg wailed in pain, hoping that Philip would let him go, but it was to no avail. Philip and the others rescued the remaining people and took them back to the campus quickly. The survivors felt very fortunate to be alive and wished they could become Philip's loyal followers after witnessing his heroic actions. “Thank you so much. We wouldn’t be alive i
“These people don't have many opportunities, and their strength is limited. Their progress in life will probably end here.” Fennel could tell that they did not have a bright future. This might be their only way out. If they were lucky, they could get stronger and become a force to be reckoned with. If not, they might encounter a similar scenario again. If no one rescued them, they would only die. “Sometimes, I wonder if kindness is actually a good or bad thing.” After saying this, Fennel turned around and left. He knew that this was not something he had to worry about. Instead, he should do his best to level up. In this vicious world, strength ruled. Philip strongly agreed with Fennel’s opinion. In this world, kindness was not necessarily a good thing. As soon as they returned to the villa, Philip felt something was wrong. He felt as if someone was around. They might have discovered the formation around the villa and so did not dare to approach recklessly. “Yo
The practitioner mumbled under his breath in bewilderment. Even if Philip burrowed into the ground under his nose, he had to sense it somehow. Could a living person simply disappear into thin air? Scowling, he looked around as Philip appeared behind him. “Are you looking for me?” Philip’s voice was cold like a ghost whispering in his ear. Philip’s voice and sudden appearance nearly frightened the man out of his wits even though he was a powerful practitioner and extremely vigilant. He patted his chest in a panic, his eyes full of anger. “What are you doing?” Philip chuckled at his fright. It turned out this guy’s bravado was just for show. “I want an answer.” Philip wiped away his smile and stepped forward. As Philip approached him, the practitioner felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger. Philip was just a useless secular practitioner, but he could put such psychological pressure on him. How was this possible? He felt ashamed of his fear, even a little
Keith was very upset that the other party had taken over the name of the Pill Guild. They were not aware of this until someone came to the secular world and found a Pill Guild here. Moreover, the development of this Pill Guild was so bad that it was an embarrassment to them. If the guild were good enough, they would not deny their identity but openly admit that they were a sub-guild. “Now that you know everything, you can die in peace.” Keith smiled brightly and made a grabbing motion at Philip’s head. In his opinion, Philip was just an ordinary practitioner with no way to resist him. When Keith thought that victory was right before his eyes, Philip released a bolt of lightning at Keith’s head with a wave of his hand. Keith did not even have time to react before he fell to the ground miserably. The lightning tormented him relentlessly, rendering his feeble struggles futile. “Who are you? How could you control lightning?” Keith stammered. The lightning frightened him
Besides, there was no one around, so no one would know that Keith begged for Philip’s mercy! Thinking of this, Keith knelt in front of Philip and begged, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please get rid of this lightning!” Keith kept struggling until he pissed his pants. Philip looked at him in disgust and got rid of the lightning with a wave of his hand. The next second, Keith returned to normal. He stopped twitching, and he was lying on the ground gasping for air. “Who are you? What do you want?” Keith was really scared now. He had even forgotten his identity as a reclusive guild elder. He was just short of kneeling on the ground and begging Philip for mercy. Philip sighed at his miserable appearance. What a useless guy. “So, you’re Keith from the Pill Guild. No wonder I didn’t see the fifth elder before this.” Philip pulled Keith in front of him. He wanted to know why Keith ambushed him. “Tell me, why did you ambush me at my villa?” Philip asked sternly and warily. Keit
In Philip’s opinion, Bruno was nothing. Keith’s eyes darted around as he gave Philip Bruno’s home address. It was no big deal for Keith to offer Bruno’s address. Philip could go after Bruno if he had the ability. Destroying a practitioner family was no big deal. He could easily find another family to take over the Lint family’s position. Philip secretly left a trace on Keith so that he could monitor Keith's location at any time. Then, he disappeared in front of Keith. Keith watched in apprehension. He did not expect Philip to be so powerful. His speed and level were beyond his imagination. Based on Keith's recent observations, Bruno could be considered a relatively good practitioner. With his help, Bruno could reach the seventh zone. However, at the end of the day, he was no more than an empty husk. Philip, on the other hand, was obviously different. He was a solid expert for sure! “Damn it! I fell for Bruno’s trick! If Philip goes after him, it’ll save me a lot o
