Chapter 132
***
Greatly shocked by the mind-controlling insects and the centipede monster incident, Cheong-ra had terrible nightmares every time he slept. He dreamed of being controlled by the Blood Cult and harming the people of Moon Lake Sect, or of insects crawling everywhere. However, apart from the nightmares, Cheong-ra's body was recovering quickly after receiving Dang Ran-yeong's promise.
When he became able to walk without support, Hwan-hong came to ...

Cheong-ra remembered that at that time, he absolutely couldn't eat the insect, so he cried and begged for forgiveness before fainting and losing consciousness. If he had eaten something similar to a mind-controlling insect, it must have been only then.
"Why did Mother... How..."
"She was likely being controlled by mind-controlling insects as well. The easiest way to approach a young child and feed them something is through the mother or wet nurse...

The Great Artist showed serious concern at the school's youngest's statement.
It wasn't something that could be said in one's right mind.
Thinking of the enemies they had faced, perhaps their mind had been contaminated by madness without knowing...
"I really have met one."
Of course, Yi-Han felt very wronged.
It was because he had really met the young skull principal from the past realm using <Kairos's Scepter>.

The Einroguard students whispered about magic that was far more abstruse and transcendent than expected.
To transform soulless works into living beings.
Among mages, the particularly dangerous type were those who obsessed over such difficult magic.
When dedicating themselves to demanding magic with their souls entrusted to it, mages would eventually go mad.
"Seems like a mad mage..."
"The Great Artist is not mad!"

Though bewildered and confused, a great mage was different even when different.
They quickly regained composure.
Though they still couldn't understand the youngest revealing grand ambitions without any personal ambition...

The child tilted her head, but when no more words followed, she silently continued walking.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, a quiet forest path appeared. Decaying leaves crumbled heavily underfoot, and the cries of animals could be heard in the distance. Following the child who fearlessly entered deeper into the forest path, Kapros uttered a spell to light up the darkness.
"Fireball."
As soon as the words ended, a spark ign...

Kapros looked at the child's cheeks, which had turned red with excitement, and let out a deep sigh. Talk sense, little one. If he took her and she died, even if he managed to return safely from the forbidden area, the old woman would come after him next.
"What do you want to find?"
Feeling an uneasy premonition that he might end up with one more task if he wasn't careful, he asked. The child looked around like a young wildcat before opening ...

Tae-ui could tell immediately. That blood wasn't that man's blood. No, though perhaps quite a bit of his own blood was mixed in too, most was from others' sacrifices.
Not just one person -- three or four. Or even more.
Only then could Tae-ui see behind him, previously hidden by Ilay's broad shoulders and tall frame. Behind him lay two more men besides the recent corpse. They were already dead too. They lay in pools of blood in a more miserab...

An alpha's rut was accompanied by pain. The body burned as if all the blood was boiling, and senses became extremely sensitive. Omega pheromones were what stabilized this state. It was natural for alphas in rut to seek omegas.
However, this alpha was clearly rejecting omegas.
'Is that why the manager tried to send in a beta?'
The problem was that Kinaine wasn't a beta but an omega.

On the slope of Qika Mountain, eight war horses descended from above, reaching the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
A man in his mid-thirties on the lead horse held the reins and swung his riding crop: "Open fire!"
At the command, the people on seven war horses held their reins with their left hands and raised automatic rifles with their right hands toward the sky.

The situation at Dragon City's border line was actually quite abnormal and pathological, which was related to the history of the New Era.
Before the New Era, national borders were very clear and bright. Generally speaking, the area on the inner side of border markers was one's own national territory, while the outer side was foreign territory.
But the New Era was different. Because of the previous forty-plus years o...

"Absolutely don't touch the garrison. If you can't resolve the problem, call me immediately, our navy side has ways."

However, what he saw the moment he flung open the doors were the bones of his siblings, thrown as sacrificial lambs to the hungry monsters swarming in to catch the fleeing lord's family. Over the small bones of fifty people abandoned all along the escape route, and finally on top of the corpses of the lord's family who couldn't escape properly and were caught and killed, the older brother wailed and cursed.

Though he wasn't entirely sure, judging from the horned tribe members' reactions earlier, small horns didn't seem to be viewed very favorably.
Indeed, Kinaine's intuition proved correct as the employee wore an understanding expression.
