Amara was greatly surprised by Adrian's unexpected gesture. Despite several attempts to decline, Adrian eventually gave the pill to Amara.Shifting the topic, Amara said, "It's getting late. Let's leave now."*Amara intended to take Adrian to a nearby mountain. In the depths of this mountain, there was a deep ravine inhabited by many beasts, and it was rich in rare ores. There were two reasons why she brought Adrian there. First, it was to give him more opportunities to hone his skills, and second, it was to exploit some rare minerals and hunt down beasts for their valuable materials.The two of them flew on their swords to reach the mountain.After a short rest, they entered the seemingly bottomless gorge.Initially, Adrian thought it was a typical valley, but as they ventured deeper, he discovered it was a hidden paradise.Inside, there were exotic flowers and plants that could not be found outside, along with peculiar creatures that made it feel like a different world. The c
As the tiger leaped toward Adrian, the surrounding air began to swirl rapidly. However, Adrian remained calm and composed. He raised his hand and blocked the attack with a backhand motion. Following that, he unleashed another skill, catching the tiger off guard.With a dull thud, the massive corpse fell to the ground.Next, Amara instructed Adrian to extract tendons and bones. After dealing with the tiger, they continued on their way. Along the journey, whenever they encountered beasts, Amara would ask Adrian to deal with them.Adrian did not reject it as he saw it as an opportunity for training.There were various peculiar creatures there. Some of them were quite formidable, and they could provide Adrian with ample valuable combat experience. At the same time, his proficiency in using artifacts improved steadily. However, they had not encountered any mythical beasts. After walking for a while, they took a break by the roadside. Amara emptied her pouch on the ground.The aby
It was a type of energy he had never encountered before.Amara also sensed it, recognizing it as a demonic presence. Despite that, Adrian was not worried. After all, this hidden mountain crevice was an unknown place, and the existence of some supernatural entities was plausible.However, there seemed to be something peculiar about this energy.Suddenly, Almandine said, "Be cautious. There's something strange about this demonic being!"Adrian replied, "I've noticed!"With that, he swung the Scarlet Dracoblade and forced the assailant to show itself.Realizing that its presence had been busted, the demon charged toward Adrian. Adrian made a gesture with his hand, and the Scarlet Dracoblade whizzed out to intercept the attack. A loud bang resounded, and Adrian took several steps back to stabilize himself.From this attack, Adrian could see that their opponent was powerful, and he cursed inwardly. Before he could do anything, a whirlwind stirred up nearby. Within the whirlwind, a
The entire ravine shook as if the earth itself was trembling."Don't kill the demon! We need to know who sent him after us!" Amara said. Adrian nodded in agreement. At the same time, the demon felt that its soul was being pulled into an unknown space by an inexorable force. It was gradually finding it hard to hold its ground, and it was also losing its battle against Adrian.At the same time, Almandine sensed that there was another force similar to its own within the demon.It knew what the force was and chuckled coldly. "Break!" With a thunderous roar, a crack suddenly appeared in the demon's soul.Almandine searched inside and found the presence of the soul of Ebonis, the Black Dragon.At that moment, Ebonis was curled within the depths of the demon's soul. It looked completely drained, as if all its strength had been sapped away."Old friend, long time no see!" Almandine called out. When Ebonis heard the familiar voice, it opened its eyes slowly and saw Almandine before
After confirming that the connection between him and the Black Dracoblade had been severed, Rubern's face turned even darker. He knew that Adrian must have gotten the Black Dracoblade, but there was nothing he could do about it. "This guy is indeed extraordinary. For now, I'll let him go. But once I recover, I'll make sure to settle the score with him!" Rubern said. He then sat up with difficulty, crossed his legs on the ground, and began to heal his injuries. Among immortals, physical injuries were the least of their concerns. After all, such injuries could be meticulously treated and healed quickly.However, when it came to spirit core damage, it was a different scenario. The spirit core was the most crucial aspect for an immortal. If the soul was injured, it would take several days to months or even years to heal. Some injuries might require external help for treatment.Fortunately, Rubern's condition was relatively mild.*Meanwhile, the demon felt the power refraining hi
In a way, Almandine had learned of everything the demon had ever done.After a long while, another beam of light flew out from the demon's forehead. Almandine transformed back to its original form and stood beside Adrian. It nodded toward Adrian, indicating that the demon was telling the truth.Adrian sighed and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect Rubern to be such a schemer. I haven't done anything to him, yet he repeatedly tried to harm me. I guess I have no choice but to fight back now." Amara pondered for a moment and said, "People are unpredictable. I wouldn't have let him off back then if I had known he was such a person. However, speaking of which, how should we deal with this demon?"Honestly, Adrian did not like taking lives. Even though he had killed people before, the feeling was never pleasant. Therefore, he preferred resolving issues peacefully.Adrian looked at the demon, who felt as if its gaze could penetrate his soul. After experiencing these events, Adrian r
As they spoke, a trace of melancholy appeared in Amara's eyes. The young man in front of her had only recently entered as a newcomer. In the blink of an eye, he had matured. His methods were becoming more decisive and sharp. Before long, he might be able to stand on his own without her protection.To be honest, Amara was increasingly concerned about Adrian. Even if he just lightly scratched his finger, she would feel worried for him. Moreover, being with Adrian gave her a strange feeling she couldn't quite explain.The Black Dracoblade was now completely subdued by Adrian. With the powerful Almandine and Ebonis by his side, Adrian felt that he had become much stronger. However, Ebonis didn't talk much. After a brief conversation with Adrian, it fell silent.*On that night, Adrian discussed matters with Almandine. Adrian's vigilance soared after learning that Rubern intended to make a move against him. What would happen at other times if Rubern could find someone to ambush him even
Adrian had always been a lone wolf, but after today's events, he realized that having his own influence was crucial. If it weren't for Amara's care, no one would probably know if he died.Aligning with major forces wasn't Adrian's style because he detested ingratiating himself with others. Since that approach wasn't viable, he decided to establish his own prestige and have others seek refuge with him.Today, he unexpectedly subdued a demon as well as the Black Dracoblade. However, although Shadowlurker's strength was extraordinary, Adrian couldn't use it openly. What he wanted was to establish a foothold in the faction.At that moment, Amara suddenly asked, "Adrian, what are you thinking?"Adrian was startled by Amara's unexpected question and replied, "Nothing much. Amara, can I ask you for a favor?"Amara smiled. "Between us, there's no need to be so formal. Go ahead."By now, Adrian considered Amara a friend. He felt there was no need for formality between them. Therefore, he
