Adrian moved as quickly as a blot of thunder, shuttling back and forth in this mysterious underground space. After cautiously advancing for a while, he did not encounter any dangers and decided to speed up.Even though Adrian had quickened his pace, he did not sense any potential dangers around him. It seemed as if there were no threats in this underground space, and it somewhat eased him a little. After all, his task would be much easier if there were no real dangers here. He just needed to find the location of the treasure and figure out how to take it.Adrian picked up his speed. After some time, he noticed subtle changes in his surroundings. With furrowed brows, he slowed down as he reached a higher vantage point. He peered ahead and was surprised to see something in the wilderness. At first, it was not very obvious, but as he focused, Adrian finally discerned what it was. ‘A palace in this underground world? Unbelievable.’ He accelerated toward the direction of that structure
Adrian immediately noticed something. This chilly wind had a fixed pattern. What's more, such a chilling wind should not exist in a place like this. After all, the temperature here was much higher than the outside world. Following the direction of the wind, Adrian noticed something and marveled, "I didn't expect there to be hidden wonders in this place!"In the distance, there was an enormous lava waterfall. Upon reaching the ground, it converged into a vast expanse of lava that flowed in all directions. Amid this expansive lava, there were patches of solid ground, and he was standing on one of them.However, this was not what captured Adrian's attention. What truly captured his attention was the large cave behind this lava waterfall. If not for that gust of chilly wind, he might not have discovered it. He moved toward the cave and stood helplessly before the lava waterfall. The waterfall was entirely composed of scorching molten lava. Even though Adrian had found the cave, he ha
As Adrian approached the lava waterfall, the temperature around him rose, and it was evident that the surging lava was affecting him. Fortunately, he had put up a protective shield, therefore, he was not affected much.Nevertheless, he could not help but complain inwardly as he realized that the heat of the lava was growing. If he was not careful, there was a real possibility that he could be completely engulfed.But this was secondary to what worried him. His biggest worry was that he was now moving a lot slower due to the lava. This put him under a lot of pressure."I refuse to believe that I’ll be troubled by such a small amount of lava!" Adrian gnashed his teeth and exerted force through his legs.Boom!The gushing lava was blasted apart. Although it was only a very brief moment, it was already sufficient for Adrian."Now is the time!"Without any hesitation, Adrian picked up his pace. In the blink of an eye, he shot toward the deeper region. And just as he lifted his back f
As he moved forward, the gloomy atmosphere intensified even further.Soon, Adrian saw some massive iron chains on the ground ahead, and each of these chains was as thick as the waist of a grown adult. There were a great number of them, densely intertwined together like a spiderweb, converging in one spot.Adrian followed the chains and was surprised to find a gigantic and rugged stalagmite that looked extremely bizarre in the vast open space ahead. Just by looking at it, he knew that the gloomy aura was converging toward that spot.‘That stalagmite must be the source of it all.’ Adrian decided to go and take a look at what it was.He walked toward the stalagmite and soon arrived before it. The gloom shrouding the entire region became even more noticeably suffocating. Moreover, the stalagmite seemed to come alive, emitting tremors as if it was vibrating.Rumble...The rumbling continued, causing the entire ground to quake. The noise was piercing, and Adrian immediately became aler
Immediately after that, a stream of gloomy aura shot out of the stalagmite. Adrian was shocked. As he observed the aura, he noticed something emerging from that cloud of darkness.It looked like a sword.As soon as he saw the sword, Adrian rushed toward the cloud. However, the instant he stepped into its vicinity, he keenly felt overwhelmingly strong auras emanating from the sword, and these auras were evidently poised for a confrontation with him. He could sense that two forces were bursting out of the sword, and they were coming at him ferociously.The two forces seemed quite formidable—one of them was targeting his soul while the other was targeting his physical body.Adrian realized how powerful these two forces were and quickly defended himself. At the same time, he arrived at a lightbulb moment, understanding why the mysterious summoner had arranged the first two tests for him. It was all preparation for this situation.He shouted, "Let’s see how much power will I need to ov
This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. They stared at the scene before them, clueless about the implications of it all. In the next moment, the figure descended toward them, and it was none other than Adrian.As soon as they saw him, joy and relief flooded their faces."Mr. Adrian!" Many exclaimed."You’re back! Are you okay?” They rushed forward to greet him, and the shock from moments ago instantly vanished."I’m fine. Now that Aquanic has been eliminated, our enemies are gone," Adrian said indifferently.Everyone sighed in relief. Although the valley was destroyed, the elimination of Aquanic was a significant victory for them. Fortunately, there were no casualties among them, but their homeland had been demolished. Under Vardala’s leadership, everyone left the valley and moved to Summoner City. The group had planned to head to Burning Sky, but some unforeseen events occurred within the tribe, temporarily preventing them from returning."I have another half-brother n
In a residence in Burning Sky’s territory within Summoner City, a servant’s voice came from outside the door. "Ma’am, Young Master Bhaskara is here."Chandra’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly hid the dagger in her hand up her sleeve. Over the years, the influence of Bhaskara’s force had been growing stronger. Moreover, he had forced Chandra into a marriage last year. His power then expanded by multiple folds, even overshadowing Chandra’s father, Amandeep’s, influence in the tribe.Amandeep was currently a puppet with no real power. While he appeared to be governing Burning Sky, in reality, it had long fallen into the hands of Bhaskara’s forces. Under Bhaskara’s rule, the once prosperous Burning Sky lost its former brilliance.The entire area was bustling with the recruitment and mobilization of forces, but Chandra had no idea what Bhaskara intended to do. After marrying Chandra, Bhaskara naturally wanted to consummate their marriage. However, she had been resisting and locking
Just yesterday, Bhaskara managed to pin Chandra onto the bed and almost successfully removed her clothes. She fought back, and after a lot of effort, she finally drove him away.Chandra was now filled with mixed emotions. If things were to go on like this, she feared Bhaskara would tarnish her before her savior came to her rescue. She had to do something to prevent Bhaskara from violating her.She pondered deeply and finally came up with a solution. Although Bhaskara came to toy with her every day, she believed that he would not dare to actually force himself on her. After all, her father was still the chief.As for Bhaskara forces, they were not omnipotent no matter how powerful. They still had to conduct themselves through the chief for the time being. Thus, Chandra decided to do something extreme to make Bhaskara dislike her and reduce his interest in her. Maybe then he would stop harassing herAt the end of the day, Chandra still knew a thing or two about Bhaskara. The reason h
