Chapter 108

The negotiation with Shane fell into a deadlock . For this time being, Lei’s group didn’t have any possible options, so they could only patiently wait .

Of course, this was mainly because the time until the Exploitation Ceremony was not far away . They just needed to wait a little more than half a month . It took them more than three months to come here, so they didn’t mind waiting another half a month .

Moreover, doing this was not bad as well . Highness Hollow Mask was helping Sarah Heim chase Tim Thrall . Maybe half a month later, he would have already killed the devil monster that had committed countless sins, and returned to Garles city .

As long as he was here, even if they needed to turn the tide and fight with the Riley family, everyone would have enough strength ——–Garles city might have enough abilities to deal with a legendary powerhouse and even risk their lives with a Semi-God . But they could bow their heads when facing a true God .

How could normal people defeat a God?! Without a doubt, ‘many hands provide great strength’ was a good thing, but it still had its limitations .

Therefore, they decided to stay to provoke Shane a little more . They even went to the most high-class hotel in Garles city, ordered the most high-class restaurant in Garles city to bring food to their rooms every day—-Lei directly asked them to bring the bills to the residence of the young master Shane . As a result, everything was paid off .

One thing that couldn’t be denied was that as a bustling city, the level of enjoyment of Garles city was far from to be on a par with the Golden Tower city, but everyone was satisfied with the living condition .

Liv held the pocket money that her teacher gave her . Every day, she wandered around on the street . Although she didn’t spend money recklessly, at times, she brought back some unexpected things which made people a little bit surprised and happy .

This girl indeed had an innate evaluation talent, especially her intuition which people really admired . She didn’t buy many unclear things, but if she felt that they were useful, then they would be extremely valuable .

Lady Teague, on the other hand, brought little Agnes to get away . Except for helping herself get back to the state that she had when she was still an adventurer through training, the rest of her time was spent taking care of her little daughter .

She knew well that when the Exploitation Ceremony took place, there would be a big war . Until that time, it was not strange that corpses piled up everywhere, and blood flowed out like river . Unless Highness Hollow Mask came back in time, with her and her daughters’ abilities, their lives would be handed over to fate . Hence, she seized this last little free time to spend with her little daughter .

After all . . . . if something really happened, the possibility of little Agnes being endangered was the greatest .

Every time she thought about this, she was so heartbroken that she wanted to retreat . But in the end, she stayed, preparing for what was to come .

‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ was her life motto . Even if she had to pay a bigger price, if blood covered her body and tears drenched her face, she would never give up on getting her revenge .

Lei brought along his other student, Frank, to experience the life of an adventurer . He made the best of his time to pass on all the knowledge he had to Frank—–how to observe the situation? How to judge the situation of the battle? How to seek luck and avoid calamity? How to communicate with the adventurers? How to consider the detail of the mission? How to protect himself during the fight? so on . . .

If using Stelle’s way of speaking, Lei indeed regretted that he had split Frank’s head to pour all of his mind into his head, to make this rascal reborn overnight and become a prominent knight .

“Why are you so devoted to Frank?” She used to ask when no one was there, “That rascal has limited innate ability . He won’t be able to learn that much . “

“But he has tried really hard . ” Lei smilingly said, his eyes were full of reminiscence . “Every time I see him practicing to the point of exhaustion but still doesn’t show any intention of backing down, I remember my old self before . “

“Ah? Was your innate ability bad before?”

” . . . No, that year I was called a genius . “

Stelle couldn’t restrain her laughter . Based on Lei’s age and the scene she saw in his dream a while back, she then compared it with the material she tried to gather this time, and the true identity of Lei appeared vividly in her head .

But she still didn’t say it out loud in the end . If Lei didn’t want to say it, then she didn’t need to do so . This was called perfect teamwork .

As for herself, during these times, she came and left like a ghost; no one knew where she headed all day long . The strange thing was that she would have been like a mouse in a rice jar in such a bustling, debauched place like this . She would have tried her best to “feed” and “feed” no matter what, and then changed into a pig at night . But the fact that she could maintain her human shape all these times really surprised people .

To cover two strange fire hoops on the back of her hands, she purposely wore a pair of black thin gloves . The material looked like silk . But in fact, it was made from devil beast’s skin and had been processed by a special alchemy technique . It was not only extremely solid, but it could also hide the backs of her hands very well, which helped them avoid everyone’s attention .

But . . . a beautiful girl who wore a pair of long black silk gloves along with a pair of long black socks, which made people unable to not pay attention to her!

Time passed by . The most important ceremony in Garles city – the Exploitation Ceremony was getting closer and closer .

Right at this moment, on the vast sea, Sui Xiong and Sarah Heim had found Tim Thrall and were getting closer to them . Sarah Heim had already sensed the breath of that longtime enemy was drawing nearer . The distance between both sides was too close that they could clearly feel each other .

Strangely, Tim Thrall didn’t move . Habitually, due to the fact that it could not fight back against Sarah Heim, it would take initiatives to avoid the fight, avoid directly confronting Sarah Heim . But this time it didn’t have any intention of avoiding her . It was silently waiting in the seabed . It was as if it was waiting for the old opponent to find the door and end everything once and for all .

Coincidentally, on the day the Exploitation Ceremony happened, the two sides finally met each other .

Tim Thrall silently lay in the seabed . At first glance, it looked like a giant shadow . Inside of its giant floating body were countless fierce, distorted faces and corpses which wanted to get out . Those were the spirits that were killed and swallowed by it . They wanted to break free; however, they were no exception . They were pulled back into Tim Thrall’s body by a wretched power, with no thoughts of escaping anymore .

With a swift look, Sui Xiong immediately figured out that the intensity of Tim Thrall’s power was not on the same level of Sarah Heim . However, the level of its power was one level higher than Sarah Heim’s .

Sarah Heim could accept prayers, and gather one part of power from religion . But these powers turned into seawater and whirlwind surrounding the core of its spirit—–a flow of God Power . Along with time, these powers would transform little by little, fuse with its spirit, making it slowly grow . This way had a very low proficiency because it couldn’t understand nor apply the power of religion .

But Tim Thrall was not like that . It tied all the fearful and resentful spirits inside his body, constantly absorbing their intense emotions, and slowly swallowed the religious power hidden in these emotions . This could somehow explain the nature of the religious power and help find out the most important step in getting to the road of becoming a God .

Sui Xiong also noticed that many spirits were trapped inside Tim Thrall’s body that emitted extremely insane resentments . That also meant that they were trapped inside for a very long but were still not fully absorbed yet . This didn’t make any sense at all . According to Tim Thrall’s way, it should have absorbed these spirits a long time ago .

Or . . . had it just got the method of changing the resentful and fearful emotions into the religion power not too long ago?

The giant Jellyfish squinted its eyes, as a guess vaguely showed up inside his head .

There was no need for any greeting between Sarah Heim and Tim Thrall . The only communication method between them was fighting .

When the distance between them was close enough where both sides could attack each other, Sarah Heim didn’t hesitate to urge its power . A swift-flowing yellow water swiped through the overcast seabed like a lightening, aimed at the center of Tim Thrall’s body, which looked like a giant shadow .

Its distinct told it that this was a fatal place on the old opponent’s body!

Tim Thrall’s body slightly shook . A gush of thick, black air burst out of his body, blocking this rapid water flow . Black and yellow collided with each other, constantly destroying each other and then vanished .

At this moment, Sarah Heim was getting closer . It constantly urged its power to release flow after flow of yellow water .

As their levels had got to these states, other kinds of supporting schemes were no longer useful . The confrontation of both sides had turned into pure power extermination; it was a monotonous war of attrition .

This was the most commonly seen fighting method between the powerhouses that had parts of God characteristics . To them, unless they were hit in the center of their power, getting their heads cut off or being disemboweled was nothing . They didn’t even need a treatment for that .

Their fighting method on this level was either of the following two methods: . One would be slowly eroding until the opponent ran out of its power . Or it would seize a chance to launch a sudden attack to destroy the core of the enemy in one move .

After all, Sarah Heim had more advantages in power, not to mention that it got help from Sui Xiong . Hence, it chose the most reliable method, having a war of attrition with Tim Thrall .

Strangely, Tim Thrall clearly didn’t have the upper hand, but it didn’t have any intention of running away . It was still the same, silently laying on the seabed, constantly emitting black air, continually breaking down Sarah Heim’s attack .

At first look, it seemed to be satisfied with the war of attrition . But what was this devil monster, which had already committed countless sins, thinking inside its head?

“Maybe it doesn’t think at all?” Sui Xiong was silently worried on the side of the battle . “Those belonging to the Chaotic camp are all somewhat emotional . Not to mention those belonging to the extremely chaotic evil camp can be considered a bunch of psychopaths whose brains have been drained in water . They could communicate normally . Without a doubt, Tim Thrall belongs to the “Extremely chaotic evil” camp, so it might not have normal thinking . Using logic or my brain to analyze its actions is just hurting my brain . “

His heart became heavier . He just patiently kept waiting on the side for the battle between the two to end .

Or, he was waiting for a surprise to happen .

But the unexpected surprise didn’t happen here . It happened on the mainland, in the Ash Forest which was covered with ice and snow from the beginning of spring . This surprise appeared beside Sui Xiong’s believers who were training, arranging, and preparing for the exploitation in the summer with high spirits .

One of the most famous devil creatures in the Ash Forest, the legendary devil creature named ‘Devil King Shadow’ suddenly attacked them!
