"Okay, let's not continue any more. I'm almost out of Qi and the monsters in this place are evolving very fast. It is not safe to stay here," said Luan.

Before, there had been no monsters in this rift in the Second Order, but now, in such a short time, they had found 3.

"Yes, I would suggest that as well." Maira held one of the backpacks while smiling.

"I am exhausted, not physically, but mentally. Those creatures were very disgusting." Catharina hugged her arms and shivered.

"Me, I think the same way too." Cristina imitated Catharina, which made everyone laugh.

"Well, if possible, we have to get stronger before going back to that place," Ingrid said.

"Yes, you are right. I'll update you girls' armor and weapons," said Luan. He now had the bones of a Second Order creature; it would be at least enough to fuse with other bones and build stronger armor. He also got a lot of magic stones, as well as a Monster Core that he intended to create a weapon from using Type 3 Metal.

Back on earth, Luan and the girls left the portal and went to bathe. The portal created by Luan closed moments later. After bathing, they returned to the training room, already wearing the armor that Luan had created for the purpose of training.

As they had many experiences, despite being cut short in the middle, the events were still fresh in their minds and when they started training, the result was even better than expected.

Luan recovered all of his lost Qi and got up and went to his room.

'I accumulated many plants, medicinal herbs and monster remains. It is not good to leave this unprotected...' Despite knowing that there was almost always someone in his house, Luan did not want to take the risk of a thief invading and discovering what he kept. Taking 6 magic stones, Luan placed them around the house. He also took a jar the size of a pickled cucumber jar and poured in it some Second Order monster blood.

The lines drawn around the house's land were made with this blood, mixed with the blood of Luan, Maira, Ingrid, Cristina, and Catharina. With that, any of them could control the formation he was creating.

Luan also spread an absurd amount of runes around the area created with Second Order monster skin. It also had the added benefit of improving the Qi of Heaven and Earth in every corner of the house. Luan also added the magic stone of the Second Order as the core of the formation.

When everything was done, a round dome was formed around the house. Even on the floor, the formation was made, preventing invaders from all corners.

In full, the land of the house shook a little, but was soon protected by the formation and stopped swinging.

'Done.' Luan was satisfied and saw that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was becoming more dense.

"Luan, what was that?" Maira was the first to ask. They all had felt the tremor and stopped training.

"I created a formation to protect against invaders and also improve the Qi of Heaven and Earth around the house," Luan explained.

"Luan, it's almost 6 in the morning. I think we better get ready." Ingrid said to Luan while looking at her wristwatch. It was already the 24th and the sky was clear, showing the first colors of sunrise.

"Yeah." Luan nodded and entered the house.

Wagner woke up with the news that his arm had broken. Lying on the hospital bed, he waited for his mother to bring the yogurt he loved to eat in the morning. Lost in his thoughts, Wagner Hamibo did not notice that someone had just entered, only when he heard sounds of footsteps, did he look and see his father.

"Dad..." He murmured.

"Son, I'm glad you're okay." Samuel Hamibo was being more gentle and kind in speaking than he ever had before.

That alerted Wagner a little. He had always feared his father, but remembering that now he was basically in a better position than his father, Wagner said with disgust, "What did you come here to do?"

"Son, what happened to you? Don't you want to see your old dad?" Samuel continued to smile as he spoke. This scared Wagner even more.

"Say what it is you want." Wagner was cautious.

"Of course I want your help," said Samuel Hamibo, "You know, your mother is my world, I want her back."

"Stop lying, traitor! I will not help you," Wagner said angrily.

"Oh, is that so? Are you sure about that?" Samuel was even more gentle in asking that question.

Wincing with fear, Wagner held the emergency call button. He said, "Yes, I am!"

"Hehe... Son, I like that you have become more courageous. Mmm, it's good this way, but I wonder, how long will you continue to act like that?" Samuel laughed and then opened the laptop he held in his arms. Then a video started playing.

[Stronger, yes... put that stick deep inside me!!] A young pregnant woman, riding on top of a man in a wild and experienced way, screamed with pleasure.

[Bitch~ I just wanted to punish my son, having sex with his pregnant girlfriend, but I didn't think you'd have such a good time! Take this. This is how you like it, yes?!] The middle-aged man hit the young pregnant woman's ass hard, making her moan in pain and pleasure.

["Yes, I love it! Fuck me hard, father-in-law!"] She couldn't control her screams and moans of pleasure.

Wagner Hamibo's hand tightened until it was white. Veins began to appear on his neck and his face was red. He looked at the video with a hatred that looked like he was going to cross the sky. He screamed and wanted to move towards Samuel Hamibo. "I'm going to kill you!!"

Still weak, Wagner fell to the floor and looked at Samuel, who was smiling at him strangely as he closed his laptop and then approached Wagner. He put on white gloves and held Wagner's mouth firmly.

"You leave me no choice, son~" Saying this, Samuel, who made Wagner's mouth open, placed a crystal inside his mouth the size of a quail egg.

Then he walked away while laughing.

Wagner tried to cough the crystal up. He stuck his finger in his throat and tried to throw up, but he couldn't. He hated it. Boiled with rage, his eyes were bloodshot, and in fact, blood dripped from his eyes.

He tried to scream, but there was no sound. Getting up, he didn't even care that his arm was broken; he was walking without the slightest care. He tripped and hit the wall, but continued walking towards the door.

Leaving, the corridor was empty, since in the VIP room the corridors were barely moving to avoid disturbing people in them.

Like a mad dog, he walked like a zombie. He still remembered who was in the room next to him, and opening the door, he saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed with a pale face. It was obvious that she was not well.

Wagner Hamibo smiled strangely and approached. Caressing the woman's face he murmured, "So beautiful... You are so proud of your pretty face that it makes me wonder what it would be like if I disfigure your face."

Looking this way and that, Wagner's eyes lit up when he saw something. It was a large two-liter glass jar. He didn't know, and he didn't even care why it was there. Holding on with his broken arm, he tried to open it, and due to his 'luck', it was very easy to open.

"Slut, now you will understand what happens to those who try to outwit me!" Saying this quietly, Wagner walked over to Monica, who was lying on the bed, and then he poured the liquid on the girl's face.

In the next instant, something came out of Monica's body, her face now disfigured. It was a vindictive soul that slammed against Wagner's body and made him fall and let the rest of the acid fall in the middle of his body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A cry to make the soul tremble came out of Wagner's mouth and also made him come to himself, but it was too late. He struggled on the floor in pain, and a voice echoed in his mind.

[I'll kill you! You have to die!] It was Monica's voice.

That was when the hospital room window was opened and a ghost came in and from inside Wagner's body, took what Samuel Hamibo had made him swallow.
