Konrad had remained buried within the dozens of contestants, causing most to overlook his existence. Especially with the presence of the crown prince and his handling of the recent events, his name had vanished from the contestants’ minds. However, hearing the two words "number one" paired with the name "Anselm Kracht," all began looking for him. Dozens of pairs of eyes locked upon him while those around him took several steps back, unknowingly forming a circle around him. The crown prince followed…-

A deathly silence fell upon the scene. Elmar included, all stared at the bishop. But even with those dozens of pairs of eyes locked upon him with confusion, he maintained his dazed, flabbergasted look. "Empty? What do you mean by empty?" A blinking Elmar asked, thinking that he misunderstood the statement. "Empty...as in nothing left. Not a single beast across the three levels. They all vanished...thousands of beasts...all gone...without a trace...aargh!" The bishop wailed. This wasn’t the…

Konrad wasn’t one to let himself get toyed with by greater power. His last life had left a bitter enough taste for him to let that happen again. Therefore, he chose to use the imperial family to vent his frustration. Holger was known as a calm, calculating prince that carefully weighed all actions he took. Therefore, including Nils, none understood his extreme outburst. More than seventy pairs of eyes had now locked upon Bishop Alto who had subconsciously taken a step backward. Trapped between fury…

Following his cleaning of the first two levels, Konrad stepped into the third and hunted down all the remaining Monstrous Beasts to do the same. There was a total of eighty-seven Monstrous Beasts left, and they all fell into his hands. With this army, he could probably take down any viscount level house or below and make most count level houses tremble. For such massive gains, he absolutely wouldn’t hesitate. Of course, if he weren’t sure he could conceal his involvement in the sudden…

Refining a totem required a complete skeleton. Therefore, Konrad skinned the Stolas Beast of its useless parts and carved the ritual circles as instructed by the Flame Mark before placing the skeleton at the center. He then powered the ritual circles with his demonic energy, causing the skeleton to shrink until it could fit within a palm while eldritch glyphs rose and embedded themselves within it. The ritual carried on for some time. Green light shone from the miniature skeleton’s empty eye…

Inwardly, the Stolas Beast cursed its ten thousand ancestors, fate and all the deities of the universe. Most importantly, it also cursed itself. Never in its wildest dreams did it expect Konrad to be a direct descendant of a noble demon house. Had it been aware of that, it would have never dared open the hostilities. "Overreach...I overreached myself..." It complained with green blood gushing from its half-broken face. Konrad took a leisurely step forward and appeared before it. His hands tightly…

Konrad stretched out his hand, summoning his energy war hammer. Revolving his Hundred Flowers Scripture to the extreme, dazzling white-purple light swirled around his form as he flew toward the Stolas Beast. Nils tapped into his light attribute to envelop herself in the same white-purple force. Her speed skyrocketed, surpassing all she could accomplish with her wind and lightning attributes. Their eyes burned with the same fighting intent, and although separated by a distance, they were of one…

Both Konrad and the Stolas Beast’s eyes now locked on Nils. Lifted by the grey fog, she floated above the ground, holding a silver sword in her right hand and a dark-blue one in her left. Within the Celestial Realm, spirits were the servants of the Deva Gods and were ranked differently depending on their bloodline levels and innate strength. From lowest to highest, they were the Inferior Spirits, Elemental Spirits, True Spirits, and Greater Spirits. Paragon Spirits were the weakest among the…

With his Origin sight serving as guide, Konrad had no issue locating the surrounding Monstrous Beasts. He spotted a Two-Headed Rhinoceros three kilometers away from where he currently stood and decided to make it his prey. Nils who stayed close behind was starting to wonder if he possessed a tracking method when his voice echoed. "Three kilometers north-east. Don’t fall behind." He then turned into a purple beam and shot toward the destination. "That’s my line! Let’s see who gets there…

Although she posed as a prince and acted in a brash and arrogant manner, Nils was after all a sheltered teenaged princess with little experience of the world. Konrad’s retort took her by surprise, her cheeks were flushed red, and she didn’t know what to say. So she did the only thing she thought sensible in such a situation. "Help! Help! I’m being harassed by a lecher! Help!" She cried for help. "Are you that eager to reveal your assets to the world?" Konrad’s words brought her back…
