As the formation was completed, the Demonic Dracotoad sensed the impending danger. Soon after, it let out another croak and leaped toward them.Seeing the massive creature approach, Adrian's gaze sharpened as he muttered, "You guys are lucky to encounter a Demonic Dracotoad. This creature has the ability to siphon one’s life force. Fortunately, this one is just a juvenile. If it were an adult, it could absorb our life force to enhance its own power.""How terrifying!" Dragon Prince exclaimed."That's right!" Adrian's sword glowed. "Consider yourselves fortunate that you didn't encounter an adult one."With these words, Adrian transformed into a white light and charged toward the Demonic Dracotoad."Such incredible speed!" Dragon Prince cried.Although they had just met, Dragon Prince noticed that Adrian had made significant progress. In fact, he seemed to have far surpassed him.The Demonic Dracotoad sensed Adrian approaching and croaked loudly, opening its huge mouth as it char
Adrian gave Dragon Prince an exasperated look. "I have a feeling that bringing you guys along was a mistake.""What?" Dragon Prince went wide-eyed, looking displeased.Adrian shrugged. "It’s true though. Your strength is far worse than I imagined. At the first sign of trouble, all you do is cry out. I thought you at least had some ability to fight back.""Why you..." Dragon Prince looked angry.Adrian smiled playfully. "What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"Dragon Prince was left speechless. He didn't know what to say in retort."Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. But honestly, you need to show some real skills,” Adrian said.After spending some time together, Adrian didn't have high expectations for Dragon Prince. In his eyes, Dragon Prince was just a spoiled, entitled kid. Although his strength wasn't extremely lacking, being under the protection of Ocean Draking for years had left him ill-equipped to deal with certain enemies. He was like a delicate flower. This was pro
Dragon Prince's steps gradually slowed down. Observing this, Adrian felt a bit speechless. He walked past Dragon Prince and took the lead, releasing an aura that dispelled the surrounding darkness and cleared a path for everyone.Adrian then noticed that the cave descended, becoming increasingly damp. He speculated that the deeper they went, the closer they would get to the seabed. Despite not sensing anything unusual so far, they couldn't retreat now that they had come this far. It was time to press on.After a few more minutes of walking, they reached a point where the stairs disappeared entirely. Instead, a straight path lay before them, leading into the unknown darkness."How about it? Shall we continue?" Adrian looked toward Dragon Prince.Dragon Prince gritted his teeth for a moment before replying, "Of course!" He determinedly walked into the darkness.Strange, eerie cries echoed from within, creating an unsettling atmosphere. The sounds softly entering their ears felt inex
Swoosh!Everyone suddenly felt dizzy, and the next second, they found themselves in a vast and open space.Adrian noticed that the scenery before him had changed, and his brows furrowed. Dragon Prince and the others quickly caught up to him. When they arrived, they were amazed by everything around them. It looked like they had entered an otherworldly realm.The place was extremely vast, and what first caught their attention was a dense forest. At the end of this forest, there seemed to be the outline of a city."Did you know that there was a city in this place?" Adrian asked Dragon Prince.Dragon Prince shook his head. "No, I didn’t."Looking at Dragon Prince’s bewildered expression, Adrian could tell that he was completely clueless. After walking a bit further, Adrian stopped in his tracks. Looking at the city in front of him, he seemed to have figured something out.Dragon Prince asked curiously, "What's on your mind?"Adrian replied, "I know where this is.”"Where?" Dragon
Spirit summoners were a race that lived next to the dragons because they both resided in the ocean. However, there were some differences between the spirit summoners and dragons, as well as with other races. Among spirit summoners, there were indeed some individuals with handsome appearances, but those who possessed such beauty were considered higher-ranking members.They were divided into different ranks. The higher the rank within this race, the more beautiful their appearance. In contrast, the lowest-ranked spirit summoners were mere soldiers who simply followed orders. They served as soldiers in external warfare. These were the spirit summoners that had clashed with the Western Draking.If this was indeed the territory of the spirit summoners, as they moved forward, they would encounter spirit summoners with handsome appearances and higher status."Really? Then let's go take a look!" Dragon Prince exclaimed with excitement."You're too easily excited! We should tread carefully.
During the dispute, there were many unpleasant insults thrown. It almost reached the point of a physical altercation. The surrounding onlookers maintained the expected level of civility for spectators and didn't intervene to determine right or wrong. They simply enjoyed the show.However, Adrian was different from most bystanders. He liked to delve into the intricacies of such matters. While the two men argued, he quietly observed. One person was aggressive, and the other was evasive. Just by looking at their expressions, it was challenging to determine who was right or wrong.His intuition told him that the young alchemist was probably not at fault though. Perhaps an instinctive desire to protect the underdog led Adrian to think this way."Return to me all the herbs that you stole! Otherwise, I will make you compensate a hundredfold!" the robed man roared, throwing out insult after insult.A cold light flashed in his hand, and a sword emitting a chilling glow appeared. He aimed th
While speaking, Adrian kept his gaze fixed on the robed man. He was trying to discern some flaws in the robed man’s story.After the robed man finished speaking, Adrian's smile became even more pronounced. "I think things may not be as straightforward as you say. If certain people use inferior goods to frame others, then…” His tone carried a hint of ambiguity.The robed man suddenly tensed. "Are you suggesting that I’m lying?""I didn't say that." Adrian shrugged. "Until the truth comes to light, anything is possible. But, in the end, there are no impartial witnesses in this matter. You two are arguing your sides, and I don't know who's telling the truth.""What do you suggest then? This matter can't end this way," the robed man insisted.Adrian seemed to have been waiting for this response, and his smile became even more profound. He suggested, "How about the two of us have a little competition? If you win, you can demand whatever compensation you want, and I'll pay you on his be
Morok said to Adrian, "I never expected you to be so eager to seek defeat. Well then, I'll fulfill your wish.”As he spoke, he waved. In an instant, a delicate small cauldron appeared before him. He said, "I'm ready. To avoid accusations of me being unfair, let's have you decide the rules of the competition.""Sure," Adrian replied, "Don't cry over losing later!"He already had a whole plan figured out.Adrian said, "I'm too lazy to come up with complicated rules. Let's keep it simple. We'll set a time limit of one hour. During this time, you're free to make any medicinal pill. At the end of the hour, we'll judge the outcome based on the completeness of the pill and the grade of the pills. How about it?""Deal!" Morok agreed.Afraid of appearing at a disadvantage, Morok took out some herbs from his storage pouch and threw them into the cauldron. He activated his techniques and began making his pill.Adrian, on the other hand, remained unhurried. He took out some herbs he had col
