Chapter 77 - At the Orphanage

“…I’m still surprised how fitting that apron looked on you. You even brought your own. Cooking much, princess?” Viers reexamined Farley from head to toe once again.

“Ehehe, like it? Don’t you think we’re like newlyweds? Young couple? Dear, what would you like to eat tonight?” Farley made a light spin in her simple dress skirt then cutely assumed the role of a young wife.

“…A lesser man would blush and turn red, an even lesser man would have nose bl...

Chapter 76 - The Next Cult Work

Several days had passed and things started to go back to normal. Although the attack on the church was a big affair, the news wasn’t made public. The monastery was at the edge of town and the conflict was kept in small areas so no direct damage to the town. The villages that Bernard slaughtered were told to the public as the act of rouge devil worshipers and the perpetrator had been killed. There were rumors going around of some kind of battle but it was suppressed by the town�...

Chapter 75 - Reward Screen

Bernard who was summoning Hell’s residents fought with a Silver Legionnaire and almost lost his life. It seemed they wounded each other but Bernard’s wound was worse than his opponent. He was undergoing intensive treatment at the cult’s base. Viers wondered if Bernard’s opponent was his acquaintance after hearing her description from an eye witness.

Monica who was drawing away the level 2s was also injured although not as severe as Bernard. Viers guessed she was too...

Chapter 74 - The Night's Conclusion

After the bloody event took place, Jor shed his cultist persona and returned to his identity as Viers.

Earlier that night, Viers threatened Church Boy D with a fate worse than death. Church Boy A became the unwilling example of bodily horrors D would experience if Viers didn’t get what he wanted. Unsurprisingly, D relented.

Church Boy D brought Viers to a room where a furnace-like magic item was operating, just at the adjacent room. Naturally, the door was loc...

Chapter 73 - Cut the Crap

Two out of three had been disabled. Test Subject C’s body way paralyzed and crumpled on the floor, while Jor wasn’t even sure if Test Subject B still drew breath or not. Now, he sought a one on one combat with Test Subject A. Jor wanted to measure how he would fare against another level 1.

The reasons B and C were defeated without much difficulty rooted in the fact that he ambushed them and his deadly toxin. The fight was a test but he wasn’t confident of a hundred percent victory...

Chapter 72 - For Science

When he was a little kid, Jor watched a frog jump with such speed that he was unable to catch it despite chasing it with all of his might. Granted he was around five years old but whatever. The trick was its jumping power, although the amphibian was unable to compare with the fleas that could jump around a hundred times its height and weight.

As a frog monster, Jor had a considerable jumping power. He used his newfound leg power to body slam one of the cultists. His c...

Chapter 71 - These Are my Enemies?

It surprised him but it wasn’t completely outside of his predictions.

The little bastard was already inside Jor’s list of potential enemies because of his earlier hostile intentions but even with the Spring of Wisdom’s help, Jor couldn’t predict everything. Due to Jor acting as a level 0, he didn’t use his full speed so his pursuers were gaining ground.

He hoped he would lose the pursuers in the denser part of the town, camouflaged himself with the tow...

Chapter 70 - It Gets Worse

The air turned tense in an instant, the four of them were in a situation where they sat on a stack of dynamite and the other person held a torch in his hand.

“Ah, but where are my manners. You may call me Hugo. It’s not my real name of course, but surely you people understand the necessity of using an alias.” The man introduced himself as Hugo wore a rat’s mask and black cloak.

“Blackswarm Hugo, I’ve heard of you,” Scarlett replied.

“None o...

Chapter 69 - My Way of Life

Before Jor delivered his flamboyant call, the barrier that sealed Scarlett and the others inside the nave was already broken. The chains of light were part of the barrier and with its destruction, the cultist was free once more. However, it was the church people’s turn to be bound by the chains of light.

It all happened so fast and before they regained their bearings, Jor appeared; resulting in the silence that followed. Seemingly confused by the silent treatment, h...

Chapter 68 - Soris

Although only the sole entrance that was visibly closed by a wall of light, in actuality the whole room was inside a barrier. Scarlett and the others found their powers and body movement sealed, the blood knights also disappeared.

“Fuckfuckfuckfuckshit!” Soris rapidly mumbled and struggling to break free from his restraint.

The cultists were chained but the church’s personnel was unaffected.

“It’s over…” Ativan released a sigh of satisfaction. But ...

Chapter 67 - Everybody Is Arte Fighting

The boy squeezed out whatever courage he had left to barely stop himself from crying in fear.

“I-I won't tell you a-anything...” The tone failed to convey any of his resolutions.

“Hm, see this first.”

Jor approached Church Boy A and released him from the breathless prison.

“Bwuah! Uhuk… Uhuk… GWAHH!!”

While he relished the sensation of sweet oxygen entering his lungs, Jor stabbed his thigh with a fiery knife.

“This is how it g...

Chapter 66 - Fatality

Damn! That was too close!

Jor left the nave just in time before a barrier of light separated him and the other three. He took a few seconds to observe the situation inside the nave and his surroundings. Surprisingly, the fight didn’t occur immediately. The head honcho of the seven started monologuing. Although the barrier of light obstructed his vision to the inside a bit, he could still see and hear the conversations inside just fine.

Of course, Jor ...

Chapter 65 - Cult VS Church

Earlier that day, this village was a normal village with normal villagers living in it. Life was tough but the folks managed to go through seasons after seasons with by honest hard-work and helping each other. And yet, everything changed tonight. 

“Stop! Don’t hurt us!” A man pleaded.

“Please… I have children…” Cried a tearful woman.

“Sob…sob… brother, are we going to die?” Said a trembling girl in the embrace of her brother.

Chapter 64 - Sneaky Sneak

Night visited as sure as its counterpart. It was late enough so the town residents were mostly in slumber. The cool temperature in contrast to the burning one in this afternoon was a change Viers welcomed.

“Are you nervous, big guy?” a girl’s cheerful voice break the silence in the room.

“I shouldn’t be here, what am I even doing here?” Viers replied without opening his eyes, he was in meditation pose.

“I agree, a level 0 like him is inadequa...

Chapter 63 - Moneymaking Scheme

“I want it. What’s your price?” Farley’s voice was a bit forceful.

Just as he expected, Farley was hooked by the bait he dangled. Viers had just began his rest after training in the underground base and Farley came to him.

“Farley, was it good?” He asked.

“You know the answer to that question.”

“Yes, I suppose I do. My real question then, will it sell?”

“…Ah, so that’s how it is. I have an inkling you are leading to so...

Chapter 62 - The Potential Inside You

Bleh, the taste isn't that good.

Viers found the taste of the wine wasn't quite agreeable. Still, he enjoyed the moon watching while sipping wine from time to time. He appreciated his hard-earned rest and didn't think about any hard problems.

Wine… red… like blood. Well, not completely alike but whatever. That's why there’s an alcoholic drink called Bloody Mary… I think. Blood… I have it too. Oh yeah, I drank human blood before, the woman that f...
