Chapter 262: A mysterious reporter Ethan was truly happy that his parents in both worlds were so good. Even the parents in the Magus World were also kind and caring. He stepped forward. "Mother, I hid some information from you too. I am actually a demon slayer and a very powerful one." Without giving them any chance to react, he took out a katana from beneath his clothes. In truth, he had just created it instantly and made it seem like it was hidden there all along. Then he closed his eyes and inhaled sharply through his mouth. Lightning Breathing: 2nd Form: Skybreaker. Boom! He swung his katana. Instantly, a lightning arc shot toward the sky and sliced off a huge piece of cloud. After showing off, he looked at them and said, "It is something I learned from the Demon Slayer Association. Sorry I didn’t tell you." Anna’s eyes widened. "When did you learn this?" "A few days ago," Ethan replied. Alexander was speechless. So someone at his level could also lie? That attack was at the Hashira level. "So mother, I like the Demon Slayer Association. It would be best if you give this spirit to Erina so that she can keep up with me." He gave a smug look at Erina. "Now you know how powerful your brother is. So become stronger as soon as possible if you ever want to catch up with me." Albert, Anna, and Earl were in complete silence. The son they had adopted and kept secrets from to protect him turned out to be even stronger than them. "Mother, let her take over the martial spirit." Anna looked at Ethan for a moment and wiped away her tears. "Senior, please extract the martial soul and plant it into my daughter." Alexander waved his hand, and instantly a twelve-winged seraphim appeared above the unconscious clone of Ethan. "Huh? Is it really that easy to extract, or is it because he’s unconscious and this spirit doesn’t belong to him, that’s why?" The seraphim radiated intense light energy. Everyone closed their eyes, including Alexander himself. "So this is how an ultimate martial spirit looks," he thought. Erina was already sitting cross-legged. Just as he was about to implant the spirit into Erina’s body, a cataclysmic pressure descended upon everyone. Ethan snapped his fingers, and the pressure vanished from everyone instantly. But the vampires didn’t feel that relief. "Hahahahaha! It was totally worth coming to the human world. An Ultimate Martial Spirit! Hahaha! The King will be thrilled to get his hands on this baby, no doubt about it. After that, we’ll finally be able to leave that cursed land!" "Ants, hand over that spirit to us, and we’ll leave your corpses intact. Otherwise..." They looked at Anna and Erina with lust. But that was the end for them. The three vampires burst into blood mist, and their souls were captured into Ethan’s ultimate domain. He would deal with them later. Alexander’s face turned pale. He knew who those creatures were—vampires—and the pressure he had felt earlier was so intense that he would’ve died if it hadn’t been removed. But Anna and the others didn’t feel a thing. Ethan had been protecting them under his aura all along, so those puny auras could never reach them. Ethan looked at Alexander and smiled. "Continue." That was the word Alexander heard in his mind. Anna looked at the blood mist and then at Alexander. "Thank you, senior, for saving our lives from those creeps." She could tell those three were powerful, but she didn’t know just how powerful. Alexander could only smile wryly. What could he say? The supreme one was standing right beside her, and she was thanking him. Would he dare to accept the credit? Absolutely not. Would he dare to tell her the truth? Yes—if he wanted to be destroyed. So smiling was the only thing he could do. The seraphim entered Erina’s body, and although it wanted to resist, a force entered her body and calmed it down. Then that force slowly altered Erina’s body so she could inherit the martial spirit. It would take time. "Mother, I have some urgent matters to attend to. I’ll come back in a while." Ethan ran off, leaving a trail of lightning behind him. Now he had established a different identity in this prime reality. He could tell others that he was a demon slayer, and it wouldn’t make any difference to the rulers of this reality. It would only matter if someone below Tier 1 from this reality made contact with a suspicious entity. Now that everything was settled, it was time to play with the souls of those vampires. He really wanted to know where such powerful vampires were coming from. If a viscount was a Tier 4 entity, then wouldn’t the king be Tier 6 or Tier 7? Since the entire solar system was inside an alternate reality, these vampires might be from within it. But the question was—where? He entered the separate dimension he had created within his ultimate domain. Three terrified souls floated inside. As soon as he appeared, Ethan released a slight pressure of his own. It was the pressure equivalent to Tier 15. That alone was enough to make the vampires lose the last remnants of their sanity. Ethan didn’t need all three to gather information. He sealed two of the souls from any outside connection and sent them into the Sun he had created to punish such despicable existences. That Sun was located at the center of his black hole. Now, only one soul remained. He used Soul Search on it—it was the most brutal torture imaginable for a soul. From this soul, he learned that they were indeed coming from within this solar system. There was a secret realm located on the planet Neptune. They had built a teleportation system allowing them to exit that secret realm, but a curse bound them—they could only stay outside for a maximum of five days, and once they returned, they couldn’t leave again for fifty years. The secret realm was called the Blood World. The king’s name was Vladimir. He was a supreme entity locked inside his palace, and no one knew his exact power level. But they believed the King was a god, probably a Tier 15 or 16 existence. Ethan absorbed all the vampire’s memories. So the vampires were sealed within a secret realm. It was probably done by the ruler of this solar system who had created the alternate reality around it. He couldn’t be sure. But if the vampires continued sending out more of their kind every now and then, wouldn’t that become annoying? Since he didn’t yet know the true realm of the King, he decided to wait until his power reached Tier 18. Then he would go and visit the Blood World himself. He sent that last soul into the Sun as well. Ethan vanished from his place and appeared in France. He wanted to taste some French cuisine before going home. There was nothing urgent waiting for him there, and if he went back now, his family would bombard him with thousands of questions. Just as he was about to enter a restaurant, he saw a reporter wearing a glass nearby. That person was insanely powerful—at least Tier 17, or maybe even higher. "What the heck?"
