“Is there anything delicious in Sarul City?”

Chloe didn’t mention the purpose of his trip, only asking Kasha where the good food was.

When it comes to food, Kasha’s eyes lit up.

She happily said,

“There’s not much fun in Sarul City, but there’s plenty of good food.”

Chloe thought to himself that this girl wasn’t interested in anything else, but when it came to food, she was full of enthusiasm.

It reminded him a bit of that gluttonous Fratiss.

He patted Kasha on the head and said,

“Alright, let’s go to your favorite restaurant, my treat.”

Kasha’s eyes lit up even more.

Free meal, can’t miss that.

…

After eating their fill.

Chloe looked at Kasha licking her fingers and said,

“I haven’t dined with you guys much these past few years, but your appetite has grown!”

He looked at the stack of plates piled high in front of Kasha and couldn’t help but sigh.

Kasha snorted slightly and said,

“What do you know? Warriors are like that; other professions just need to focus on fighting, but warriors need to think about whether they can eat their fill first.”

Strictly speaking, the knight profession is a sub-profession of warriors.

It’s like field specialization; after reaching a certain level, different branches are chosen for further development.

Such as the Echo Knight, Rune Knight, Purple Dragon Knight…

But as a tactical profession’s sub-option, excluding the Arcane Knight, which leans more toward melee mage, most have a distinct trait—

being able to eat.

And not just any kind of eating.

Among countless gourmets, warriors make up half.

Warriors spend their lifetime being done in by food (pointing fingers).

Of course.

Chloe quite enjoys watching Kasha eat.

It makes him especially hungry.

…

After meeting with Kasha, Chloe was ready to return to work.

He had only just left when he suddenly looked up, directing his gaze toward the spatial rift in the sky.

A distorted, eerie power surged upward.

Following it was Liszt’s familiar blood energy, colliding with it.

Chloe’s pupils shrank, and he murmured,

“Another demigod?”

Just as Chloe was about to rush over, a bone-chilling cold spread through him.

He decisively halted his steps, clenched his fist, and struck at the void.

A surging [Qi] enveloped with unparalleled power blasted a figure into the sky.

Taking advantage of the distance created, Chloe frowned as he looked at the intruder.

“Howling Beast? No, the King of Howling Beasts?”

Chloe looked at his palm where fresh blood was trickling down.

That blow just now had actually injured him.

You know, he is a Martial Monk.

The most resilient part of a Martial Monk is the fists.

When an Extraordinary being chooses the path of a Martial Monk, his fists become akin to [a growing magic weapon].

In other words, his fists transform into [extraordinary organs].

And with the strengthening of the Divine Bone, it’s safe to say that at the same level, a blow from him might make the opponent beg not to die.

But now…

His toughest fist had been breached.

“Legendary Peak King of Howling Beasts, damn, what’s happening at the Space Passage?”

Howling Beasts, large demonic creatures that survive in the chaotic sky tunnel.

Considering the extreme living environment of the chaotic sky tunnel, which is even more demanding than the Abyss, not many races can contend with them on its lands.

Of course, the chaotic sky tunnel might sound unfamiliar.

But it has another name—

Demon Hall.

Long ago.

When they were the Seven Heroes.

Chloe and the others had been to the Demon Hall.

There, they hunted down a dozen Evil Gods and used the power sources stripped from their bodies to complete their final self-enhancement.

This time, they came because the Demon Hall and the Undead Plane connected across the Space Passage.

Only they didn’t expect it.

Silently, this group of demons had crossed the Space Passage.

He sighed.

This was the living environment of the past Stars.

Unlike the Dawn Era, confined tightly within the Maze.

In this era, otherworldly visitors could easily step onto the Stars Continent and cause massive damage around the Space Passage.

He quickly calmed his mind, his cold gaze fixed on the demon in front of him.

This demon had sharp angles, with drool constantly dripping from a huge mouth.

Judging by its size, it was just a step away from ascending to a demigod.

Chloe was confident he could kill it.

But the problem was, this was the city center.

A fight beyond levels, and against an entity with one foot already in the demigod realm, he couldn’t hold back any power.

To be brutally honest, if he didn’t push the Holy Bone to the utmost Ascension, he might get counter-killed by the opponent.

He looked towards the distant beach.

Indeed, better to lure this beast to the sea.

As he faced the King of Howling Beasts glaring at him, he frowned and darted toward the coast.

The King of Howling Beasts let out a roar, its terrifying sound waves spreading all around.

Anywhere the waves passed, buildings were blown into the air, as it charged fiercely at Chloe.

The distance between them closed and they got closer to the coast.

At this point, an explosion sounded from Chloe’s front-right.

Another presence nearing Legendary Peak arrived.

Chloe furrowed his brow and saw the royal princess emerge from the swirling dust.

“Sir Roy.”

“Princess, what are you doing?”

“Being chased by a Howling Beast, of course.”

“Where are you planning to run?”

“To the shore, obviously.”

“Me too, fighting in the city would cause too many casualties.”

“Then let’s see who can finish their Howling Beast faster?”

“Are you sure?”

Chloe exclaimed in surprise.

He knew the princess was very strong, trained entirely to the standards of an imperial heir.

But compared to him, it felt a bit too competitive.

“What, do you think I can’t match you?”

“No, I just think I’ll kill faster than you.”

“Really?!” The princess turned around, magic radiance flickering around her.

With almost no pause, Magic Flying Arrow *99 erupted instantly.

The magic radiance bombarded the King of Howling Beasts leaping mid-air, forcing it to retreat bit by bit.

Chloe squinted, Qi swirling in his palm, almost becoming tangible, twisting into a coiled dragon.

He struck with his palm, causing the King of Howling Beasts to wince in pain, retreating decisively for a moment.

“Then let’s compete.”

Chloe laughed heartily.

“Yours is stronger than mine, do you really want to compare?”

Oh jeez.

The undefeated competitive spirit of boys surged instantly.

He said, “Don’t worry, the winner will only be me.”

With an acceleration, he picked up the King of Howling Beasts, veined arms coiling, and with a throw, sent it flying towards the beach not far away.

Even in such a dangerous scene, the princess was still grinning playfully:

“Eh? Then you better try hard, I’m running first.”

Just as another King of Howling Beasts lunged at her, two short-range teleport magic arrays unfolded, transferring the two away from the spot.

“Damn.”

Chloe was angry.

This guy used magic to cheat!

But the corners of Chloe’s mouth still couldn’t help but lift.

What harm in giving her a few minutes.

The winner would only be him.

…

An extremely heated battle was unfolding along the coastline.

Chloe had anticipated that the King of Howling Beasts would be troublesome, but hadn’t expected it would be to this degree.

Previously, the strongest undead and howling beasts appearing in the space passage were only at the Exemplar Peak.

A demigod, no matter in which world group, belonged to the rarest of the rare.

And now, a King of Howling Beasts almost at demigod peak appeared before him.

The situation at the space passage was dire.

It seemed that the problem wasn’t with the undead world connected, but rather the Demon Hall connected to the undead world.

“However, now I am stronger!”

Holy Bone Power was still enhancing, with no one watching, he recklessly intertwined Divine Power and Qi.

Divine Power dyed the Qi dragon a red-gold hue, and with one punch, the raging energy gnawed away an arm of the King of Howling Beasts.

It opened its bloodthirsty maw, its soul-rending howl causing Chloe’s ears to bleed.

But just as he said.

Victory was in his hands.

The unrestrained dragon with invincible strength tore through its flesh, and soon its movements became increasingly sluggish.

In the next moment, Chloe had already closed in:

“Goodbye.”

The whip leg wrapped in Holy Qi swung down fiercely.

A column of sand shot up on the beach.

Seeing the now lifeless King of Howling Beasts, Chloe’s face showed a hint of a smile.

Holy Bone’s innate ability to bypass the defenses of evil creatures was indeed astonishing.

Contact was injury, a hit to the vital point meant death.

A King of Howling Beasts at the pinnacle of its lineage was ground down like this by him.

“A pity, if I were a Legend, with the support of a legendary Holy Bone, I might not even need two breaths to defeat it.”

Talent is like an extra buff.

Without a significant increase in basic stats, even the strongest buff has limits.

He turned his head towards another direction.

There, the roaring sound of magic was unending.

Clearly.

A certain princess had not yet thoroughly resolved her opponent.

At this moment.

A blood-colored giant sword descended from the sky, the overwhelming stench of blood spreading out.

Chloe’s mouth subtly curved.

He knew Liszt had arrived.

Sitting on the beach, he took a breath.

“Seems like I don’t need to offer assistance after all.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to finish so quickly.”

The princess’s voice came from behind him.

Chloe turned to see the girl smiling away, the sea breeze lifting her hair, as she placed her hands behind her, saying,

“Why are you acting like a child, getting all competitive.”

Chloe snorted and said,

“Why don’t you just say whether I won or not.”

The princess said with amusement,

“I suddenly feel the need to tie you down to my battleship.”

“Please don’t.”

Chloe surrendered.

The Ensar royal family was too chaotic, he had no desire to get involved.

“Hahaha.”

Seeing Chloe’s helpless expression, the princess’s smile grew even brighter.

“It’s worth it to reduce my firepower, let you win, such interesting expressions make it worthwhile.”

Chloe pouted.

If you can’t win, you just can’t.

Better to honestly admit defeat.

“You won, oh.” The princess walked up to Chloe, bending down to hand over a handkerchief, “Here, wipe the blood.”

“Thank you.”

Chloe took the handkerchief, fetched a bit of clean water, and wiped away the remaining bloodstains.

The princess sat beside him, watching the beast’s blood merge with the red of the setting sun, softly saying,

“It wasn’t in vain to lure them to the beach.”

“Yes, letting them rampage in the city would indeed cause too much harm.”

“I wasn’t just speaking of that.” The princess curled her legs, embracing the Magic Staff in her arms, saying, “After all, it’s nice to watch the sunset with Lord Chloe.”

“Eh?”

Chloe turned his head to look at her, only to find the princess gazing at the sunset.

She watched the sun dip into the distant sea, softly saying,

“How beautiful.”
