The Eternal Debauchery's

fangs of immortality

Opening my eyes, I looked towards the combat training room. My gaze pierced through the space barrier and observed the situation inside the space-time tunnel.

Seeing Raven using the Soul Reaping Slash, my lips curved upwards involuntarily.

It's been a long time since I last used that technique.I never thought I'd see it again.

Cutting souls, slicing souls. The Soul Reaping Slash was the perfect killing technique. It was soundless, undetectable, and without a trace. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to defend against him.

Even someone who was many times stronger than the user could be killed if he received a Soul Slash directly.

It was the perfect technique for someone like Raven.

Now that they had killed the dragon, their test was over. Soon, the runes I left on their bodies will activate and bring them back.

They were able to kill the dragon beyond my expectations. To be honest, I was ready to act at the last second and kill him.

I can only say that Raven's potential continues to impress me.

I stood up and used my mind to examine my wounds. Meditating for six hours helped me to heal a little faster, but it was far from enough to achieve a full recovery quickly.

Fortunately, the abundant mana in the space-time tunnel can help me speed up my recovery.I estimate that I can recover completely in a month if I spend every second inside the space-time tunnel, I guess, but since I can't spend too much time there, I will probably recover completely in three to six months.

It's a big improvement compared to the one year I expected before.

Sighing, I took a step forward and disappeared from the room. The layers of space were compressed at my pace, allowing me to reach the combat training room in less than a second.

One second after I appeared there, the portal to the space-time tunnel lit up.

Then, 253 people appeared before me.

Shocked by the change, 253 people looked around and realized they had returned to the capital. Before I could open my mouth to greet them, they collapsed to the ground.

Some of them started crying, others grinned foolishly. Some hugged each other, and others closed their eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.I even saw some people kissing each other to celebrate that they lasted for six hours.

I saw their reactions helplessly and coughed. Come on, it's not so bad?

“... Looks like you are happy.” I smiled brightly at them.

They all turned towards me.

… Even I feel a little overwhelmed with their killing intent. Imagine more than 200 people looking at you as if they wanted to swallow you alive.

Well, that's my current situation.

“... Cough, I'm glad you're all back alive.” I reminded myself not to laugh at them, but even so, my lips twitched a little. I couldn't help it; their reaction was really funny.

"DICKSTICK!!!" A deep shout of hatred suddenly sounded. I drew his rapier and thrust it into my face filled with killing intent.

I stared at Raven waiting for her to move and stop Akilah, but strangely, she remained silent. He looked at me and then turned his gaze to the side as if saying 'I don't see anything'.

… Hey, what happened to your vow to protect me.

Sighing, I stopped the rapier with a finger and pushed it backwards a little. I felt an overwhelming force attacking him, throwing him back to his previous position.

Seeing that, Akiah looked at me with a look of despair and sadness.

“... How petty. I just want to vent a little. ”

… Please, stabbing someone in the face is not a good way to vent.

“ehem... Okay, now that you guys are back, any of you want to tell me what you think of that place.”

Everyone looked at me with a scary expression.

How awkward.

“... I know it is dangerous, but none of you realize that it is much easier to increase the power there? I can see that many of you managed to breakthrough using the special characteristics of space-time tunnels. ”

The gang members looked at each other and nodded. In fact, each of them could be considered an elite. They understood that the place was really good for cultivating.

Of course, you have to survive first.

After seeing their reaction, I nodded. “As you have noticed, the space-time tunnel is the best place to cultivate. I can assure you that if you continue to use it every day after today, I can assure you that, in one year most of you will be at least two layers stronger.

“But at the same time, the place is very dangerous. The monster you are facing today is just the weakest monster you can find there. The next time you enter, you will face a much more dangerous situation. ”

The whole group was silent.

“But if you want to grow stronger, then hang on and I will do my best to help you grow into a powerhouse. Now, choose.”

The gang members looked at each other. After witnessing my abilities and seeing the space-time tunnel, none of them doubted my words. They know that this is an opportunity they will have once in a lifetime.

However, they also knew that this opportunity was fraught with danger.

It is very likely that they will die instead of becoming a powerhouse.

For a while, the place remained silent.

But before long, someone raised their hand.

“... Sorry, I have a family. I don't want to risk leaving my children to grow up without their father.”

I looked at him and nodded.

With the first person raising his hand, more immediately followed his example.

“... Sorry, I'm happy with my current life.”

“... I'm the only child of my parents, I'm sorry.”

“... My brother is sick, if I die, he will also die.”

“...My husband died and left me alone with our children. I cannot risk my life like that. ”

In less than a minute, over fifty people had raised their hands.

I looked around at the remaining gang members. When I was sure no one else would leave, I nodded.

"I understand, you can go."

The gang members heaved a sigh of relief and walked out. Although they felt regret for their comrades, they did not want this kind of life.

But when they were about to leave, I flicked my finger.

Suddenly, their eyes became empty.

They then looked at each other in confusion, but the advice I left in their minds forced them to keep going.

"What are you doing?" Marana realized I was doing something and narrowed her eyes.

I answered with a smile. "I erased their memories of tonight."

“!!!” The faces of all the gang members paled.

"The place I sent you is very special." I've explained. “Nobody else can know. When they decided to leave, they forever lost the chance to come here.”

Marana looked at me and sighed.

I then looked at the remaining gang members. Of the original 253 (including Marana, Akilah, and Raven), only 195 remain. But I'm satisfied.

With a thought, a magic circle formed in front of me. The magic circle then divided itself into 195 parts, each flying towards one of the gang members.

Seeing their confusion, I explained. “Contract magic. Once you put a drop of your blood on it, you will not be able to reveal information about the space-time tunnel to others. If someone tries to do it, that person will die.”

The remaining gang members changed their faces and looked at the contract with fear.

I smile. “You don't need to sign it if you don't want to. You just need to go and it will be like tonight never happened.”

The gang members looked at me with expressions of struggle, but soon, someone dropped a drop of blood on the contract.

It was Raven.

He looked at me with an expressionless look and nodded.

Seeing that, Marana and Akin dropped a drop of blood.

After that, the remaining gang members also received the contract.

I nodded with satisfaction. “Alright, from today onwards, all of you are my people. Mmm, this group needs a name.. Let me see... Okay, I have one.”.

I looked at them and opened my lips.

"From today onwards, you will be called (Finger of Eternity)."
