Everyone was stunned. They did not want Adrian to take such risks."I admire your courage, Adrian, but understand that the place is filled with dangers. If you aren't careful, you will lose your life. Knowing this, will you still go?" Theodore asked."Don't worry. I've faced countless dangers in my life. It’ll be nothing to me," Adrian replied."If you insist, I have nothing more to say." Theodore sighed. He looked toward the deepest part of the valley and said, "I'll now tell you the secrets of this place. Whether you can come out unharmed depends on your fate.""No problem," Adrian replied firmly."Are you really going, sir?" Dragon Prince asked. "Of course. I'm the strongest person here, so it's only natural for me to go," Adrian replied, and everyone was speechless."Well, since you insist on going, be careful," Dragon Prince said.Atticus walked up to Adrian and said, "We'll hold the barrier. We won't let Aquanic in." "I'll leave it in your hands then," Adrian replied.
Adrian found himself standing in a huge ancient palace built of giant stone blocks. He could not shake the feeling that something was watching him from the shadows. However, he was not one to be easily intimidated.He ignored the hidden observer and strode confidently deeper into the palace. For him, the top priority was obtaining the treasure. As he ventured further, the peculiar sensation intensified. It felt as if he was delving into the lair of the mysterious presence. If his gut was right, he was in great danger.Adrian pondered whether he should uncover the identity of this mysterious presence. After all, not knowing where it is could be dangerous as it could attack him at any time. After making up his mind, Adrian steeled himself.‘I best prioritize finding out where this thing is!’ he thought.He took a deep breath, focusing his mental energy on identifying the mysterious entity. He had not paid much attention to it before. Upon closer observation, he realized that the enti
“On my left!"Adrian noticed something and rushed toward the left side. Simultaneously, he noticed a peculiar aura on his left that looked like a vortex. Although it was not obvious, no detail in the palace could escape Adrian's keen perception.The entity became aware that Adrian had figured out its location. In response, it made a quick move to create distance between them. However, Adrian was fast. He chased it down, leaving no room for the entity to escape.Adrian's formidable strength allowed him to adjust his speed to optimal levels during the chase, ensuring that the entity could not shake him off. Even though he could not determine if this was the actual location of the entity's main body, his intention was simple. He wanted to deplete the entity's energy as much as possible to create an advantage for himself in an eventual confrontation.The entity also seemed to have realized Adrian's strategy. It attempted to escape and simultaneously launched attacks at Adrian. However,
Adrian had no intention of concealing his purpose for being here. Since this summoner was here, it proved that he was familiar with this place. He did not care if the summoner was an ally or enemy. If he showed even the slightest of hostility, he would kill the summoner without any hesitation. Therefore, he stared at the summoner intently and was ready to act at any moment. "If you want Emperor Iravan's treasure, tell me who you are. Maybe I'll help you," the summoner said.Adrian found the stranger's response rather unexpected and became a little confused.Noticing Adrian's reaction, the summoner frowned. "What's the matter? I’m offering to help, and you're not happy?" Adrian said, "That's not it. I just want to know your identity and why I should trust you."The summoner responded sternly, "Hmph, if you don't trust me, then I have no reason to tell you anything." He was clearly bothered by Adrian's suspicion.Adrian fell silent for a moment. He wanted to learn about the treas
As the man’s words echoed, he thrust the long spear in his hand at Adrian. The attack resembled a dragon emerging from the sea, exuding a powerful and intimidating force.Adrian remained unperturbed. Despite the fierce assault coming his way, he showed no fear. As a powerful fighter himself, it was impossible that he would be defeated by such an attack. As the spear closed in on him, he coolly lifted his hand and met the oncoming attack head-on with his own sword.Clang!A muffled sound resonated as their weapons collided. Their strength was initially evenly matched, but at the next moment, Adrian noticed something was not right. His strength was diminishing, growing weaker with each passing second. This revelation sent a chill down his spine.'Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this,' Adrian silently pondered. He was well aware of his own capabilities, and the current turn of events was completely unexpected. After their first clash, he could tell that both of them were e
Adrian felt as if his strength was gradually slipping away. He struggled to even maintain his grip on his sword, and the pressure from the opponent's attacks seemed to intensify. Reveling in his apparent advantage, the man taunted arrogantly, "Kid, can you feel your strength slowly dwindling? That's because this is my territory. Here, you will never be my match!""Oh really? Too bad. I don't buy it," Adrian replied indifferently. However, not caring on the surface did not necessarily mean he truly did not care throughout the course of the battle.With the passage of time, Adrian felt his strength drain away. Right now, he was no different from an ordinary person. Seizing his chance, the man let out a triumphant roar and launched a fierce assault at Adrian's vital points.Adrian could not defend himself from the upcoming hit that might crush him. Frustration and anger built up as he cursed his bad luck."Damn it!" he cursed as he desperately sought a solution. He refused to accept
However, the man could sense that Adrian’s strength had reached its peak. "I told you, you could never be my match. Just accept your fate!" Adrian ignored the man. As his mental power grew stronger, so did his overall strength. Eventually, he completely suppressed the man's power. When the moment finally arrived, Adrian knew he could strike and swung the sword at the man."No!" the man shouted helplessly, but there was nothing he could do to stop Adrian's overwhelming attack. In the next moment, the man let out a desperate scream and disintegrated into ashes.As the man disappeared, the surroundings distorted, and Adrian found himself back in the grand hall of the palace. Standing before him was the mysterious summoner."I didn't expect you to pass my test. You're truly remarkable," the summoner commented."While your test seemed formidable and momentarily trapped me, it wasn't that complex. Once I understood the trick, breaking free was a matter of course," Adrian calmly replied
Their numbers were overwhelming, resembling a tidal wave. Adrian was shocked by the sheer quantity of summoners before him. Then, he heard the summoner say, "This is your second challenge. You must eliminate all these summoners."After delivering these words, the summoner's figure became transparent and eventually disappeared completely. Adrian was shocked. However, he remained vigilant. He knew that regardless of the circumstances, he had to finish these challenges. Brandishing his sword, he charged forward. "Bring it on!"Without hesitation, he blinked and unleashed a powerful force toward the foremost summoner. The summoner was undeterred. He let out a roar and charged back at Adrian. However, he was unable to withstand Adrian's overwhelming assault and was swiftly defeated.Without a moment's hesitation, Adrian continued his assault on the other summoners. The summoners appeared to be no match for him. Loud cries echoed in the air as the summoners were taken down one after a
