Slipping through the maze of unlit passages like a slippery snake, Arthur made his way toward the inheritance ground. He could hear the thuds of footsteps and the clangs of armor and weapons colliding with rock. His eyes darted across the place, eventually landing on the sight of a pile of loose rocks. Arthur could vividly hear the tumultuous footsteps that approached his general directions at a speed he was incapable of coping with. He would eventually be caught. 'This is fucking stupid,' thought…-

'I can't face them head-on,' thought the crimson-eyed man, glancing over his shoulder. A few dozen men and women with determined, enraged eyes, clenched teeth, and a stance that displayed their hostility, pursued Arthur as if there was no tomorrow. Their movements were almost as fast as Arthur's, forcing the crimson-eyed man to use almost all of his mana to maintain a decent lead. At that point, not much of his mana reserve remained. Excessive use of the mana stone would only increase the pressure of…

The key to success… The statement sounded unreal. Arthur grasped the material, tightening his grip. Now, using his own mana, he had shaped the orb into something perfect. It did not have any uneven edges, and was entirely black… Without any striations or streaks. A smirk appeared on Arthur's face, which turned towards Isabella. The latter winced at the former's gaze, continuing to stare intently at the ground. At that point, any resistance was futile, as her life was in Arthur's hands. Not…

How did Arthur discover such information? Well, through subtle clues. As an inexperienced player not well-versed in the art of masking her movements, she was quite easy to discover. Her experience–although immense in terms of life–couldn't compare to Arthur in terms of basic survival. Covering one's traces was the most basic aspect of survival. It was already a surprise that no one had discovered her true identity for years… but then again, the village was full of naive teenagers and adults…

Arthur entered the dark locker rooms, lighting a candle as he plopped down on one of the benches and sighed. The room was warm and cozy but contained the squalid scent of body odor. All other competitors had entered the stands to spectate the various battles. Arthur circulated mana across his body, inspecting the damage to his circuits in-depth after straining them so much. However, it was necessary. The more Cassius spent his vitality, the more power he amassed. Although the crimson-eyed man…

Arthur's flames raged on, assaulting Cassius from all sides as they threatened to consume the latter's very existence. The flames were forged using Arthur's mana, and were the product of a combination of basic spells. Being incredibly well-versed in the subject of magic, the crimson-eyed man was naturally aware of spells even the Divine Rankers had never explored. He could forge powerful spells by simply extracting the foundation from the weakest and most common spells. His most glaring weakness was…

Cassius The Enigma, a well-renowned High Ranker in Arthur's former life. The latter was not certain about his origins during his past life, but as he gazed into his abyss-like eyes, he immediately understood. 'This is not going to be as easy as I expected,' thought the crimson-eyed man. However, he felt no rush. His heart was tranquil, like a pond on a windless day. Although it'd be difficult to refrain from killing such a foe, Arthur was almost certain it was possible. Difficult did not mean…

The match ended with Finn's victory, which resulted in another fatal blow to Gargo Village's force. And, since it wasn't a death, Elder Gabriel had no authority to comment on Xiao Fan's paralysis. The origin of the paralysis was unknown, but since Finn was backed by Lijkao Village and refused to be interrogated, Gargo Village could not retaliate. They were stuck in a deadlock with no option out. Except Arthur's presence. "What happened?" Isabella inquired as the crimson-eyed man silently sat…

"Second Step! Red Fire Palm!" Xiao Fan muttered under his breath, and a triangular-shaped barrier formed before him. The man took a step forward, delivering a palm-strike to the barrier with all his strength. Following that development, the triangle barrier shot towards Finn, pulsating with Xiao Fan's mana while threatening to detonate. Finn's Blade Wave only managed to obstruct the first step of Xiao Fan's attack. As the triangle barrier approached Finn, it separated into several cubes of red…

Elders usually spectated the battle through tiny VIP rooms. Their presence was important, and to avoid being swarmed by tourists, they reserved rooms. The person who addressed Arthur as "Mr. Solace" was one of Gabriel's disciples. He had long, black hair and an innocent face. With an expression of respect, he addressed Arthur as someone above him, bowing while conveying Elder Gabriel's message with the utmost respect towards the receiver. Arthur glanced at the battlefield, then at Isabella, who…
