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
In Val's consciousness, a sudden shattering sensation reached her. It was as if her artifacts were enduring a fierce assault from the white light, and she felt the pain as if it were happening to her.Although activating two artifacts simultaneously had already exceeded the limits of an ordinary person, she didn't stop and endured with gritted teeth.Suddenly, her consciousness was severed, and her mind instantly became blank. All connections with her artifacts seemed to vanish.The shockwaves swept her several yards away, crashing heavily to the ground."Ah!" Val spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if her entire body was engulfed in flames. Every vein in her body seemed to be burning. Her strength appeared to dissipate.However, she didn't collapse.Struggling to prop herself up, Val attempted to rush toward the white light, but the powerful shockwaves repeatedly threw her far away. Each attempt left more scars on her body. With her strength, she couldn't even approach the
This was a very young man dressed in a robe adorned with gold, silver, and diamonds. He wore an exceptionally noble crown, currently in a state of closed-eye meditation, seemingly immersed in an endless slumber. He was the sole leader of the church, the Netherduke."My lord, Father Reth has actually died! The church's Altalune branch has also been crushed by the immortals of the Dragon Dynasty!"A priest hurriedly ran over, visibly flustered.The Netherduke's body remained motionless. Only his slightly closed eyes slowly opened. "Mattheo, there's no need to panic. I sensed this matter a long time ago."The Netherduke's voice was extremely gentle, capable of soothing any restless and anxious soul."What should be our next plan?" Mattheo asked.The Netherduke replied, "I already know who killed Reth. Send a warrior group to capture that person alive. I want to personally pass judgment on him."Mattheo exclaimed, "Father Reth released a full-force attack before his death, using the
Upon learning of this matter, Emperor Fraener promptly made a decision, rewarding Honorius, Quintin, and Zane.This should have been a joyous occasion, but the faces of the three showed no signs of happiness. Throughout the entire Silverboa City, especially the Guthries mansion, an air of gloom hung over as everyone knew that Adrian unfortunately perished in that battle. Quintin was melancholic all day long, while Rozi was seen with tear-stained cheeks.Val remained unconscious, and since Quintin and the others didn't know Mystic Elixir's location, they couldn't send her back to her faction. All they could do was arrange for people to take good care of her.It wasn't until three days later that a woman in white, elegant and ethereal, arrived in Silverboa City.She strolled along the streets, exuding an otherworldly aura. Those who caught sight of her became enamored with her celestial beauty. Numerous onlookers were tempted to approach and initiate a conversation. However, upon n
