Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Looking at the red-faced Sword Emperor Elderweiss, the Corpse Wizard King smiled brightly. After casting the Wind Acceleration Spell, he leapt up to the tower like the wind. “Remarkable! How very remarkable! Lord Elderweiss killed a spider in ten moves! He’s definitely worthy of the title Sword Emperor!”

“Killed a Spider in ten moves?”

Listening to what the Corpse Wizard King said and looking at the bright smile on his face, everyone smiled meaningfully. “Killed a Spider in ten moves.” It might seem that Elderweiss was being praised, but if one thought about it carefully, it actually meant the opposite.

A top Sage Level Expert had taken so long to kill off a low-level Spider, and in the process, had even been bit multiple times. He would be thoroughly humiliated if the news spread!

“Even though he failed, First Class Soldier Bario really tried his best!” The Corpse Wizard King pretended to be serious, his voice low and grave. After pausing for a while, he continued. “As a weak Spider facing off a strong enemy, Bario did his best to counterattack and persist until the last moment. Its courage and persistence showed us the bloodstained glory of the brave warriors of the Magical Beasts Realm!”

“Bloodstained glory?”

Looking at the wounds and bloodstains on his body, and recalling the Spider that suddenly exploded before he died, Elderweiss was upset with no one to complain to. While the Corpse Wizard King had said that it was a powerless Spider, in the whole of the Tailun Continent, where could one find a spider that had armor made of Star Metal and ran faster than a Siberian Snow Rabbit?

“Warriors, though Bario has fallen, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers!” The Corpse Wizard King’s huge Magical Energy and Mental Energy poured out, instantly strengthening the Supreme Heart Magic’s hold over the area. He then loudly said, “That’s all for today. Tomorrow, we will send another soldier out for the challenge. We encourage all of you to come and witness the glory of the brave warriors of the Magical Beasts Realm!”

After waving to the excited crowd, the Corpse Wizard king smiled at Elderweiss. According to Yang Ling’s instructions, it was now time to execute the next step of the plan. There were more good things to come. This time around, they were going to make the prideful Sword Emperor Elderweiss regret ever coming to the Magical Beast Realm. In fact, they were going to make him regret ever being born.

“Hmph, I’ll kill each one that comes!”

Looking at the faint smile on Corpse Wizard King’s face, Elderweiss gritted his teeth hatefully, and quickly left. He did not know what thing the substance that spread in the air after the Spider exploded was. After breathing it in, his body got hotter and hotter, his throat went dry, and it felt like there was a raging fire in his belly.

Could it be, could it actually be..., could it actually be that he accidentally breathed in the legendary potent aphrodisiac?

Feeling the guy down there, at the lower part of his body that had not been used in a few hundred years, harden, Elderweiss had a sudden thought. He then understood that Yang Ling must have done something to the Spider’s body. It was already out of the ordinary that a Spider would totally explode before it died; it was even more suspicious that a potent aphrodisiac would be released from the explosion.

Wicked, despicable, it was truly despicable, too despicable!

Elderweiss hatefully gritted his teeth. It was humiliating enough that he took half a day to kill a Spider. If someone discovered his unusual situation down there after he had unintentionally breathed in the potent aphrodisiac, he would be even more humiliated!

He had originally intended to rapidly return to the outskirts of the forest to meditate, and think of a way to purge the deadly poison in his body. But involuntarily, a tall tent had formed in his lower body. Not to mention running, even when walking, he had to bend over and lower his head carefully, afraid that people might discover his abnormal condition down there.

When it rains, it pours!

What had happened was what Elderweiss had most feared would happen!

He did not know if it was intentionally arranged by Yang Ling, or due to his reputation, but Elderweiss had just taken a few steps, when he saw a crowd of people surging forward and surrounding him to ask after him. There were rich merchants, nobility who were on holiday in the Magical Beasts Realm, Troop Team Leaders who had been all over the world... Far worse, was that there were also a few scantily clad, overly passionate women with fiery figures...

“Kekeke, His Lordship, have we gone overboard by doing this!” Looking at Elderweiss, whose face was covered with sweat with so many people asking after him, and who was finally forced to use the excuse of being injured to sprint away, the Corpse Wizard King smiled brightly.

“Hehe, Rodriguez, I only mentioned it in passing. You were the one who planned the whole thing!” Looking at the thrilled Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling smiled. “But of course, if you feel that we’re going overboard, then let’s forget it and let that guy off the hook!”

“No, absolutely not, how can we do things halfway!” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head. How could they give up halfway on such a thrilling prospect? After his eyeballs rolled around in his socket, he said, “I swear on my Lordship, it will get more exciting tonight. Very exciting!”

After cackling loudly, the Corpse Wizard King left quickly to set the next phase of the plan into motion. After being sealed in the underground City for over eight thousand years, he was almost bored to death. It was rare that he could participate in something so exciting. It felt more exhilarating than the time he tortured the Fairy Dragon!

A talent, definitely a rare evil talent!

Looking at the overly-ecstatic Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling shook his head. Due to their regular dealings with the Undead such as Skeletons and Zombies, the ordinary Undead Wizards all looked like death. But the Corpse Wizard King was different. It was not known if it was because he had gone through an extremely traumatic experience, of because he had been sealed away for a few thousand years, but whenever he was involved in something thrilling, he would be more excited than anybody else, like an old pervert who had been hyper-stimulated. He would even be more enthusiastic than Yang Ling.

As night fell, the bars were packed as usual. There were Troops and Hunters who had finished a hard day’s work, merchants who had nothing better to do, and scantily clad, flirty prostitutes.

Khadanja was the boss behind ‘Galaxy’ Bar. When the Magical Beasts Realm was officially recognised by the Livenza Alliance, he saw an opportunity and brought much gold to the Realm. He opened a dozen or more bars in Aila Mountain Pass, Black Water City and Wissen Town, and broke even in a little more than a month. He was so happy that he could be seen grinning all day, so wide that only his teeth, but not his eyes, could be seen.

On this day, looking at his booming business, and at the waiters that were working non-stop, he was full of smiles as usual. In his eyes, every customer was a gold mine. Today he would min a few Crystal Coins, tomorrow he could continue mining for more...

“Lord Khadanja, call all the prostitutes, including the waitresses, out. Hurry!” Just as Khadanja was eyeing the waitresses’ perky butts, wondering if he should get Daisy or Chanel to spend the night with, a man with a big beard, disguised as a trooper, quietly slipped in.

“This... Brother, what’s going on?” Other people might not recognize the man with the big beard, and think that he was un unassuming trooper, but Khadanja knew that he was an inner guard of the Magical Beasts Realm, and was polite and respectful towards him.

“Hehe, cut the crap, and quickly do as told. There’s bound to be something in it for you once it’s done!” After taking the money bag Khadanja passed over, the man with the big beard quickly kept it on himself and whispered, “If you don’t wish for any incidents to happen, go home and hide now. Especially for the women at home. Don’t let them go out tonight no matter what. Or else, hehehe...”

“I understand, thank you sir!”

Seeing the serious look on the face of the man with the big beard, Khadanja did not dare delay. His instinctively felt that something was definitely going to happen in Wissen Town tonight. He called his assistant over and whispered a few things to his ear. Very quickly, the prostitutes and waitresses in his bar rapidly left by the back door, took the few horse-pulled carriages that were prepared in advance, and took off speedily.

“Quick, ready the horse to go back. Eric, you stay behind. You can handle the small matters by yourself. Only look for me when there are serious matters to handle. Be careful by yourself!”

Different from the patrol guards, the inner guards within Wissen Castle were the cream of the crop, and were rarely seen outside. They were only in charge of the safety of Wissen Castle. Now that he was seeing a few of the inner guards in action, Khadanja was more and more sure of his prediction. After giving a few simple instructions to his assistant, he swiftly left under the protection of his guards.

At the same time, the same scene was replaying itself across various bars and hotels. All the prostitutes were carted away on sealed horse-pulled carriages. The owners at the places where there was feasting and revelry, like bars and hotels, had all quietly received a secret order.

The prostitutes within the bars all suddenly vanished, even after asking a few bars in a row. This naturally would lead a man with intent to be suspicious. But, people who were able to astutely observe this phenomenon to be happening, were smart people, and smart people knew exactly what could be, or could not be said in public, and would quietly observe for any changes.

As for those fellows whose brains were not as quick, or who had drunk themselves into a stupor, they never did realize the changes happening around them. They continued to drink and fart as per normal. At a glance, the bars did not seem any different from usual.

Everything was arranged and prepared!

After making the necessary preparations, the Corpse Wizard King and Yang Ling quietly waited for good news, while the proud Elderweiss, was alone in the outskirts of the forest, struggling to force the potent poison out of his body.

How can this be possible? What kind of poison is this?

After swallowing some holy water that could supposedly neutralize a hundred types of poison, which he had gotten over a hundred years ago from a Red-robed Archbishop of the Church, and meditating for a few hours, not only did Elderweiss discover that he did not manage to purge the poison from his body, he was in more agony than before.

His body was hot like a fiercely burning torch, his skin was dry and cracked, his throat was dry, and even his blood felt like it was burning. Rubbing his body with snow, splashing with ice-cold spring water and even jumping into the frozen lake did not seem to help matters!

The agony from the desperate need for release came in waves! The lower part of his body, after a long absence, was now so hard it seemed it was about to explode, driving him to the edge of madness!

Women, I need women, lusty women!

After struggling for a few hours, his desire finally triumphed over reason.

Elderweiss had never thought that after abandoning his family and friends, and practicing self-cultivation in solitude for hundreds of years, he still had to return to the secular world. This time round, however, the person he would be with was not the Cecilia who had piteously begged him not to leave many years ago, but was to be a stranger, a filthy woman!

The bar or the hotel?

Even though he had not been to the secular world in hundred of years, Elderweiss still understood that if he wanted to solve his problem quickly, he would have no choice but to visit bars or hotels, places of debauchery. After all, the Magical Beasts Realm was a small isolated domain. They did not have what the Capital had, a heaven on earth, which only the highest levels of nobility had access to.
