"You’re very strong but have never realized this and think you’re unsuitable for this position," Adrian added."But I have no experience...""Don't worry, I'm here. I’ll assist you," Theodore said.After a moment of silence, Atticus finally took up the mantle, "Okay, I’ll do my best.”"Haha, you are the inheritor I had hoped for." Theodore chuckled. "The young have unlimited hope and potential. Just don’t stray off the path and focus on your responsibilities." His laughter echoed through the air.With these words, the matter came to an end.Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm really sorry, everyone. I initially planned to lure the other party out. I didn't expect to disturb you guys," he apologized.“It’s not a problem. If you had not done this, we might not have been able to completely eliminate Haris," Theodore replied.Everyone present was puzzled once again. "What exactly was Haris after?" Dragon Prince asked curiously.“Actually, none of us know. Our ancestors first
"Thank goodness you didn’t. Otherwise, you’d be treading on dangerous grounds," Dragon Prince said in relief."But Haris still found out, didn't he? We just don't know how he got the information." Vardala found this strange."Who cares where he got the information from? He's dead now. Since that's the case, everything has calmed down,” Dragon Prince replied."That's true..." Vardala nodded.However, Adrian remained silent. It was unclear what he was thinking. Looking at him, the others felt puzzled."Mr. Adrian, why aren't you saying anything?"Adrian came to his senses and said, "I feel like this matter hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has just begun.""What?"The others were very puzzled."Don't forget, the summoners’ internal strife has not yet ended. We have to stop Aquanic’s conspiracy," Adrian reminded them."Right, we almost forgot about that!"They then got ready to take action. However, Adrian wanted to resolve the issue from its deepest root.He asked, "Sir Theod
"They’re so fast!" everyone exclaimed.Now that everyone knew the whole story, there was no hesitation. Without a moment's delay, everyone rushed out!"Kill them!"As they reached the outside, a resounding voice echoed from beyond the valley. Under the night sky, countless flames soared into the air, and figures surged as a large group of summoners from Aquanic attacked.Most of the valley locals had little fighting knowledge. Under the enemy's attack, they could barely resist. Thankfully, there was a barrier surrounding the valley that kept the enemy out.Soon, Adrian and his followers arrived on the scene. Looking at the large group of summoners, a sharp gleam flickered through Adrian's eyes."Since they’re already here, it's time to solve the troubles.” He laughed as he unleashed a great aura.Boom!In the next second, he shot out like a cannonball, instantly charging toward the Aquanic summoners. The ones charging at him weren't the most powerful summoners, so dealing with
Everyone turned to look and saw a figure slowly emerging from the shadows.It was a summoner with two horns on his head, dark skin, and sturdy muscles. He looked incredibly powerful. Just standing there, he exuded a terrifying force that captured everyone's attention.This power instantly grabbed everyone's attention. Even Adrian knew that this person was not to be underestimated."Pavana?!" Vardala was startled."Yes, it's me! Long time no see, my. Dear. Brother!" the summoner named Pavana said, emphasizing his last three words.This summoner was none other than Vardala's younger brother—a summoner who had been expelled from Burning Sky in his early years. They were half-brothers, sharing the same father but different mothers. Their father was the former leader of Burning Sky. Vardala's mother was a low-ranking summoner of another tribe, while Pavana's mother was a high-ranking summoner from Burning Sky.Unfortunately, Pavana was unruly and rebellious. When he was young, he made
"Are you sure about this? You can’t possibly be my match." Pavana sneered."Whether I'm your match or not is not something you can determine. Now, accept your fate!"Adrian charged toward Pavana and swiftly arrived before the latter like a bolt of lightning. Pavana couldn't react in time and was hit."Damn it!" Pavana roared.He waved his arms, causing the surrounding air to be drawn toward him. Seeing Adrian about to reach him, Pavana let out a long howl. His aura surged, heading straight toward Adrian. However, at this critical moment, Adrian showed no fear. Facing the incoming attack, he remained calm.In the next second, a loud explosion erupted. The two forces clashed, creating a shocking sound. Dust billowed, temporarily obscuring the vision of the onlookers. Although the battle had not yet concluded, everyone stopped what they were doing to witness the outcome.When the dust settled, two figures appeared before them. One of them was Adrian, and the other was Pavana. Althou
Adrian quickly retreated, easily avoiding the incoming attack. However, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He hadn't expected something strange would appear from his defeated opponent.Although he hadn't come into contact with it, simply being near had signaled him to its ominous nature. Sensing the mysterious substance’s corrupt aura, a chill ran down his spine. He understood that whatever had come out of Pavana was not something benign.Vardala was astonished by the unfolding events. He looked at his brother in disbelief, exclaiming, "Pavana! Why would you do this?!""This is my backup plan. I decided to resort to this option if I couldn’t defeat you." Pavana laughed menacingly.Although he appeared battered, he was not defeated yet. The mysterious power contained in the black liquid infiltrated his body, causing peculiar changes."Prepare to witness my true strength!" Pavana roared.A pungent odor permeated the air. Onlookers were taken aback by the terrifying scene unfoldin
"Damn it! We could’ve defeated them, but this gas somehow strengthened them!" Adrian angrily exclaimed.He looked toward the others and noticed the perplexed expressions on their faces, realizing that they, too, were clueless about the situation. He sighed in frustration. If they didn’t know what it was, it meant they had no way of dealing with it.Just then, Vardala spoke up, "I think I know what this is.”All eyes turned to him. Vardala seemed puzzled just as much as them, so they were curious as to what insights he could provide."This is a mysterious evil force sealed beneath the sea," Vardala stated."What? Such a thing exists here?" Adrian was perplexed.The others bombarded Vardala with questions, wondering why they, as summoners, were unaware of such a force."I only heard about it by chance. My father briefly mentioned it to me once. I'm not entirely sure about the details," Vardala explained while scratching his head.The onlookers exchanged glances, clearly skeptical
Aquanic had already discovered these powers and were making use of them."This mysterious power is so powerful. We’re completely powerless.""That's right. There’s nothing we can do!""Look at them. They only used a bit of the power and are already so terrifying. If they fully harness this power, we’ll be wiped out.”Adrian’s group and the locals became increasingly worried.Yet, Theodore smiled mysteriously and said, "There’s no need to worry. Although this force is formidable, there are ways to deal with it."“How?”The people were surprised. If there were indeed such methods, they were eager to use them."It's the secret treasure Emperor Iravan sealed in this place," Theodore said.The revelation surprised everyone, and silence fell over the crowd. The locals understood that they would be forced to leave as the valley would inevitably be destroyed in the extraction process. Where would they live then?At this moment, a series of rumbling sounds echoed from outside the barr
