Adrian's whole body was covered in purple lightning. An immense force surged from all directions as he started to push back against his opponent. At present, he could release and retract the energy from the Frost Crystal Divine Sword at any time. Suddenly, Thor's phantom appeared behind Adrian. Its aura far surpassed the unknown deity on the other side. When Thor unleashed his strike, a fierce thunderbolt streaked across the sky and directly blasted onto the image of the unknown deity.Adrian swiftly followed up and wielded the Frost Crystal Divine Sword that transformed into myriad sword rays, slamming heavily onto the opponents' sword-like formation.The group of people winced in pain as the deity behind them was obliterated instantly, dispersing into fragments. The protective formation shattered into pieces as well.At this moment, dark clouds billowed around the moon in the sky, and flashes of thunder and lightning crackled within.Adrian roared, and the shining Frost Crystal
In the blink of an eye, a bloody hole appeared right in the middle of the head of the person who launched the surprise attack. Immediately after, his body swayed and fell straight down on the ground.In just an instant, one of them was dead. The faces of the remaining individuals turned pale, and they dared not make a sound.After all, they had just witnessed Adrian's formidable strength moments ago, and now he had killed one of them effortlessly."Do you want to live? Or die just like him?" Adrian asked.The remaining people huddled together and whispered. One young man among them told an older companion, "Sir, they betrayed us this time!"The older one beside him chimed him, "That's right! The elders told us to assassinate Quintin, claiming they were ordinary martial experts. But they didn't tell us there was such a powerful man in Quintin's team!" The young man asked, "What should we do now?"Their leader thought for a moment and replied, "Survival is the priority. Let's try
Quintin and his subordinate, a general named Honorius Harkin, were known as the Twin Dragons of the Northern Frontier.Honorius was a genius strategist, while Quintin was unmatched in bravery. Together, they formed a formidable duo that strikes fear into the hearts of any enemies. As long as they were around, breaking through the defenses and dividing the Dragon Dynasty would be a challenging task for the various nations in the northwest.Therefore, it was normal for the elders of the Altalune Kingdom to make this choice considering the circumstances. Before taking action, these infiltrators had already hidden themselves within Silverboa City. They had gathered intel and learned that Honorius and Quintin were just ordinary martial experts. With this knowledge, they felt there was no need to fear.Little did they expect that a figure like Adrian would suddenly emerge on the night they decided to act.Although Adrian was a lot stronger than these people, they could still contend with
As Adrian was flying back to Silverboa City, the sky gradually lit up.Upon returning to Quintin's mansion, Adrian found him pacing anxiously in the courtyard.When he saw Adrian return, he sighed with relief. He then stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Adrian, what happened?"Adrian waved his hand and said, "Let's not stand here and talk. Rozi, you look exhausted. Go back to your room and rest.""But I—" Just when Rozi was about to say something, Adrian interrupted, "I know you're worried about me, but go back to your room and rest for now."Rozi nodded and returned to her room.Adrian turned to look at Quintin and said, "Mr. Quintin, we shouldn't talk here. Let's go to study. I have something to tell you."In the study, Quintin listened to everything that had happened. However, he remained calm and composed. He squinted and stroked his beard.After pondering for a while, he calmly said, "Actually, in the previous few battles, I suspected that the enemy might have individuals with
Adrian had no choice but to search through the ground from the sky. This approach was somewhat crude, and luck played a significant role. It could take days or nights to find anything, but Adrian had no other options at the moment.However, fortune favored him, and he spotted someone in just over half a day.A woman dressed in elegant dark clothing swiftly glided through the air as if she were a nimble swallow darting through a forest. Her attire stood out starkly against the snowy landscape.'This woman seems to be an immortal, considering her thin clothing. I hope she knows about Mystic Elixir,' Adrian thought, feeling relieved to encounter another immortal.Even if she was not from Mystic Elixir, someone navigating the icy plains like this should have knowledge of its general location.Adrian descended rapidly toward the ground without hesitation. However, as soon as he touched down, the woman suddenly vanished from his sight. A chill ran down his spine when he was wondering wh
Adrian surveyed his surroundings but still could not detect any traces of the woman.After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I'm Adrian. May I know who you are? If I've offended you unknowingly, I hope you can reveal yourself so that I can apologize to you personally." After revealing his name, Adrian remained on guard. He did not know the woman's background, so it was wise to be prepared. Even with his formidable skills, he knew the world harbored countless powerful individuals who could effortlessly end his life. Therefore, he decided to escape immediately when something went wrong.Honestly, Adrian felt a bit tense. The woman he had just encountered was powerful, and he had not encountered many true experts in his dealings. Most of the high-level immortals he knew were friends with no harmful intentions. As such, how could he not feel nervous facing an unknown, skilled practitioner?After a while, a mysterious voice echoed. "So you are Adrian. I've heard about you. They say
Adrian could feel that Cherise was still on her guard when she was talking to him. It seemed that apprentices of these major factions were uniformly cautious when encountering unknown individuals.That being said, he felt relieved upon confirming that she was from Mystic Elixir. At least she was not an enemy."Just calling me Adrian will do. After all, I'm younger than you. I've come here today to report an important matter to Lady Atlas Xanthos. Cherise was taken aback. "What significant matter would prompt you to directly report to Supreme Master Atlas? She's usually in seclusion and rarely meets guests."Adrian replied, "I'm aware of that, so I would like to inquire about the current person in charge of the faction's affairs.""Currently, the person overseeing our faction's affairs is Mistress Callista Halmi. As long as it doesn't concern the secrets of our faction, you can report anything to her."Adrian was overjoyed and said, "In that case, please introduce me to her."Ch
"Under normal circumstances, it's used to protect the sanctuary from being invaded by outsiders. At the same time, it serves as the pathway for outsiders to enter the sanctuary."At my level, I can only control one of the pathways with the artifact manipulation spell. Even the elders can only control two or three of them at most."But it's said that Supreme Master Atlas can turn the neon aurorae into a path with a snap of the fingers. The scene of such power is just beyond my imagination!"As it turned out, the Mystic Elixir apprentices must have mastered the artifact manipulation spell to leave the faction. This was actually the measure taken by the faction to protect its apprentices.Without a certain level of attainment, leaving the faction would be tantamount to courting death. After all, the world was a dangerous place, and one would not be able to survive without the ability to defend oneself.Those who had mastered the artifact manipulation spell could use it to manipulate
