His cold gaze pinned the wind mage in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am your opponent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it......

Let’s see you deal with this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Gulos B-rank member, his body already twisted and mutated, stared down at several Manacos teachers with a triumphant grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m unstoppable now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All you old fools—one by one, I’ll kill every last one of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was gloating, a giant black cat suddenly emerged from a patch of shadow on the ground before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its golden eyes fixed on him, cold and merciless—as if staring at a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The triumphant grin froze on his face instantly......\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.917Z",1,"novelbin.me","9fe461159dc715f5e81eea4df42dab654e87e6c57199baf795706b6d7c289873","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-333","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-331",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
