Chapter 76 BOOK I PEST OF THE UMBRA KINGDOM VOLUME IV THE DEATH IS HE CHAPTER 76 JOURNEY AHEAD Heavy silence hung inside a rather spacious room fitted with several sets of tables and chairs, all carrying cups of various drinks . Of the six people sitting inside the room, two appeared rather anxious, one wholly nonchalant and three were expressionless as they sipped their teas slowly . Old man Van wasn’t kidding when he said he’d gather the Elders quickly, as even before the…-

Chapter 75 CHAPTER 75 RUDE AWAKENING Lino stood atop the courtyard’s wall, his legs hanging off the ledge, eyes staring into the distant sky . Just a few minutes ago a communication talisman burned up, signaling that Aeala and others had run into something and are on their way back . They’d been gone for two weeks, which meant whatever they ran into was deep in the woods, most-likely further than other mercenaries in the town dared travel . Whatever it was, Lino knew, it must have been big…

Chapter 74 CHAPTER 74 TWIN SHADOWS Lino was currently staring at a rather peculiar - or, better said, spectacular sight . Thin blanket lay draped over smooth and pale skin, its folds ever-so-tempting, hiding a scene he had witnessed just a moment ago . After biding farewell to his new friend, Lino immediately went over to Su family’s compound and mansion . As he was a rather frequent visitor, guards mostly ignored him as he stormed toward a small room at the back-end side - Sylvia’s .…

Chapter 73 CHAPTER 73 SKYDEVIL BASIN A massive beast, towering at nearly four meters tall, bounding nearly nine meters in length, stood on its four, muscular legs with protruding veins, spitting smoke out of its nostrils . It had two heads, though they weren’t separate but uniformed, leading to a rather disfigured-looking features; four eyes weren’t at even line, and two pairs of nostrils were actually vertical to one another, just off the center of two faces . The singular head had…

Chapter 72 CHAPTER 72 VELIN SU The man atop the sword was rather gobsmacked; before coming here, he was repeatedly warned not to antagonize the boy if possible, as it wouldn’t be a wise decision . He never had any plans on attacking the boy or causing trouble, regardless, and merely wanted to scare him away from Sylvia . However, his hopes were ignited, imagining he’d find someone else in his generation who could stand up to him and fight . The only thing he saw by now was a young fool who…

Chapter 71 CHAPTER 71 FLYING VISITOR Lino currently stared intently at the oddly-shaped piece of wood sitting still on the table in front of him . He’d promised everyone a new weapon, and it was high-time he delivered, he figured . While the rest were doing the actual missions, he chose to stay behind in their headquarters and ’guard it’ . In the meantime, he also rummaged through his void world and took quite a few materials that he decided to use in crafting everyone’s weapons . Most…

Chapter 70 CHAPTER 70 THE GATHERING OF FOOLS Six pairs of footsteps trailed along the winding road through the forest, occasional animal corpse lining up next to them . The forest was well know around the Hope Town as it was a place where both Mercenary Groups and individuals could prove their worth by slaying strong beasts . However, as most of them lived quite deep in the forest, one had to walk for nearly a week before even having a chance to prove themselves . At the end of the footsteps…

Chapter 69 CHAPTER 69 SETTING THE STAGE Hope Town was sacked in-between boundless valley of green, thick, terrifying forest, and cloud-bounding mountain barren of any green halfway up the winding road . It had a single road perching up its main gates, a road which further along the way branched out into nearly thirty more, all leading where feet would take some . It was not large, yet not small either, just in that midsection where it makes perfect sense it only had one school, and nothing else…

Chapter 68 CHAPTER 68 PASSING OF THE TORCH Lino sat atop the city wall, his legs dangling off the edge, looking over the towering buildings competing to touch the sky . He looked at the bustling streets full of people in rush to live their lives, looked at the peddlers trying to sell things that are hardly worth a pebble for enormous amounts of money, and looked at beggars hoping someone would give them a glance at the very least . It’s a city like any other, he realized . No matter the…

Chapter 67 CHAPTER 67 ALISON (II) A flash of golden light blasted through the air, accompanied by explosive sound . Atop a platform in the sky, the light looked like a crescendo, bouncing off the sun’s rays as it pierced through the fabric of space and time in but a moment’s notice, arriving on the other end, where a muscular, middle-aged man clad in full, ebony-colored armor awaited with a massive vanguard shield . The light crashed directly into it, causing a massive explosion and…
