These people quickly devoured the massive roasted pig, leaving only a clean set of bones.After satisfying their hunger and thirst, everyone's faces were filled with contentment. Meanwhile, Father Reth looked solemn, seemingly lost in thought.Suddenly, shouts and the sounds of a fight came from outside the tent. Before everyone could react, a wounded soldier rushed in. "Report! General, it's bad! The army of the Dragon Dynasty has bypassed the quicksand and iron caltrops using some kind of demonic magic and is directly attacking our camp!""What?!" The people present were all furious, especially General Aadan, whose face was solemn. With a fierce slap, the long table in front of him instantly shattered into pieces. "How cunning of them! Come, follow me! Let's fight our way out!"As the group rushed outside the tent, they found the large military camp in complete chaos. Everywhere, there were flickering figures, burning flames, and splattering of blood. The sounds of screams and cl
The army was completely suppressed quickly. Those who hadn't died were taken as prisoners. Although the war there had come to an end, Adrian and Val's tasks were just beginning.During the recent chaos, they sensed that one person remained remarkably calm throughout. This person hadn't made a move and had stayed hidden inside a tent during the chaos.Adrian and Val had noticed him, and he flew away in the distance as soon as the war ended.This person was none other than Father Reth, who had been in the tent earlier.Father Reth hadn't participated in the battle and now wanted to escape. How could Adrian let him slip away?Adrian and Val exchanged glances and immediately gave chase without hesitation.Zane approached Quintin and asked, "Mr. Quintin, where are they going?"Quintin replied, "They have their own matters to attend to."Adrian and Val had arrived in the depths of the desert, with the Altalune Kingdom lying ahead. As they landed on the ground, they came across a pers
Below the Netherduke were the 13 Netherphos Elders, ranked from lowest to highest in colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white.Judging by his white robe, Father Reth held the highest rank, standing as the first among the elders under the Netherduke. Elders of this level were considered half-deities.The white-robed elders' status was only surpassed by the Netherking and the Netherduke. Therefore, many people worshiped and revered them."So, he's quite powerful! In fact, the Church of Netherphos is a cult that gains supernatural power through faith and worship, and they're not considered immortals. They don't practice the immortality arts!"After listening to Val's analysis of the organization's structure, Adrian couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't just a cult—it's clearly a small country, a small regime!"The Netherking, huh? If I get the chance, I really want to meet him. But let's deal with the trouble in front of us first!"Val nodded. "Let's join f
Who exactly was this Father Reth, and how did he know all this?!While Adrian was pondering, Val spoke to him again. "The space we're currently in is a separate dimension I created using the Divine Waltz Tree. You don't need to hold back in this space, so unleash your full power! Remember, either the enemy dies, or I perish!"Adrian nodded, not hesitating any longer. His mana surged as he unleashed his strongest attack, forming a massive airwave that headed toward Father Reth. The airwave flipped in the air, transforming into a thunderstorm that descended upon Father Reth.Simultaneously, the surrounding space began to burst into countless fragments.The immense pressure came crashing down, catching Father Reth off guard for a moment. This was not solely achieved by Adrian, as his level was not high enough to wield such spatial-shattering power. However, in coordination with Val, they were able to achieve this.He knew that now was the time to make a desperate attempt. He couldn't
The Sootling was a monstrous creature that resided deep within ancient forests, some even concealed in mountain gorges, making it challenging for people to discover them.However, some immortals spared no effort to capture these creatures. The reason lay in the robust bones and tendons of the Sootling, which made excellent materials for crafting elixirs and treasures.As a result, the Sootling faced widespread hunting to a certain extent. However, these creatures were malicious by nature and often attacked human villages and cities in groups, causing havoc and trouble.Despite their valuable body parts, the Sootling's penchant for mischief had made them a headache for many.Regarding the Sootling, Father Reth proudly explained, "This treasure was crafted after capturing 49 Sootlings over more than a decade, using their claws. This claw possesses incredible power, capable of splitting mountains and filling seas. I don't believe you can endure for long!"With a triumphant laugh, he
As Adrian stabilized his body, he was almost knocked down by the forceful impact. Fortunately, he reacted swiftly, enveloping his body with mana to protect himself. Otherwise, he might not have withstood the blow."Curses, didn't expect this old guy to be so troublesome," Adrian muttered.Despite having a numerical advantage, the battle proved challenging. It was evident that Father Reth had gathered considerable divine power."How are you?" Val's voice echoed."I'm okay," Adrian replied.Although he claimed to be fine, the reality was far from it. Adrian knew Father Reth's previous strike had heavily injured him. He could barely stand and lacked the strength to continue the fight for the time being.Val was aware of Adrian's condition. She instructed him to rest for a while, assuring him that she would take over.'I'll quickly recover with my own powers. I shouldn't worry about Val. Her strength surpasses mine, and with her rich combat experience, she should be able to hold on
Father Reth let out a mighty roar. Despite the electric net entrapping the demonic figure, it struggled fiercely, each attempt accompanied by a powerful force.Val sensed the demonic figure's formidable strength, making her somewhat anxious. Dealing with the creature swiftly was imperative. Otherwise, she might not endure for long.In the next moment, Val began a dance under an unparalleled divine aura akin to a celestial maiden of the moon. It was an extraordinarily enchanting dance that would captivate anyone who beheld it.The Emerald Gem Zither accompanied Val's movements, transforming the subtle melodies into luminous sword rays. The sword rays interweaved and carried threads of electrifying brilliance, enhancing their allure.Suddenly, Val halted mid-dance, transforming into a streak of lightning that directly pierced the demonic figure's brow. The element of surprise was a consistent tactic employed by Val. This time was no exception.The demonic figure was caught off guard
Adrian felt as if everything within him had been drained, and his soul soared with a powerful force that shot straight into the clouds.Adrian witnessed a pure white pillar of light spraying out from his body, reaching into the sky.Suddenly, Val exclaimed, "This is... This is a blood-sacrificial technique of the dark arts! Quickly stop him!"Adrian's radiance flickered as a wave of energy shot out, heading straight for Father Reth. Meanwhile, Val, realizing the danger, waved her sleeve and sent a sword essence slashing down.The might of the Frost Crystal Divine Sword was formidable. Val felt as if Adrian had transformed into a colossal emperor as he slashed directly at Father Reth.The air quivered with a tearing sound.In that instant, Father Reth was torn in half, blood spraying into the air. However, the blood swiftly evaporated, leaving no trace. This was the power of the Frost Crystal Divine Sword!Val watched in utter shock as Adrian seemed to change into a different per
