Adrian was stunned. After all, he never expected this place to be a prison. If it was indeed a prison, why would the Supreme Master send him here? 'Could it be…'The unsettling feeling grew stronger in Adrian's heart as he contemplated the implications. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure laughed and said, "Hehehe, I understand now. You must have been tricked into coming here by that old guy, right?""That old guy?""The Supreme Master of Frostspire!" The mysterious man said, and the ominous feeling in Adrian's heart intensified.However, the mysterious person seemed not to notice Adrian's reaction and got to his feet."That old man must have encountered a bottleneck in his training. So, he thought of luring you here, intending to use you as a sacrifice to enhance his own power... Yes, it must be the case. Because back then, he did the same to me!"As Adrian listened to his words, he had a feeling that the person might not be speaking the truth. Therefore, Adrian remained silent
Adrian was curious about the outcome of following this person's advice. However, the ensuing events surprised him once again. As he abandoned resistance, the force began absorbing his power.Looking at the person, Adrian asked, "Hey! Are you trying to deceive me? Why are you doing this?"Appearing innocent, the person replied, "I did this to spare you some suffering. Why are you being so harsh on me?"Feeling completely bewildered, Adrian quickly replied, "If you truly wanted to help me, you shouldn't have done it this way.""Kid, you don't understand. This place can absorb your power. Regardless of your strength, there are only two choices here. First, your own strength becomes the cause of your demise. Second, you give up your power to ensure your survival," the man replied with a smile.The explanation left Adrian utterly shocked, as he had not expected such a situation. However, he was soon puzzled.Adrian asked, "But you used considerable power to attack me earlier. How are
Adrian asked, "Will the Supreme Master come here?""Yes, he will!" the man replied with certainty. Locking eyes with Adrian, he continued. "If he wants to absorb your power, he will be coming soon!""Alright, it seems my speculations were correct!" Adrian silently remarked.He had observed that the power absorbed from him lingered in the air, making it impossible for the Supreme Master to absorb it from a distance. This confirmed his suspicion that he would need to come in person.After a while, figures approached from a distance. Adrian immediately lay down on the ground, feigning unconsciousness. As they got closer, he realized they were not ordinary people but the long-awaited Supreme Master."Supreme Master, this..."The Supreme Master smiled triumphantly. "What's wrong? Do you see any issues?""N-Nothing!" onlookers shook their heads."I thought he was just an ordinary immortal when he joined. I didn't expect him to possess such formidable power! This strength is just what
The Supreme Master was shocked and panicked. He had not expected such a sudden attack. He quickly turned to evade, attempting to create some distance between himself and Adrian.However, Adrian's attack was too sudden, and the Supreme Master had not anticipated that Adrian would still retain his strength.He could not defend himself in time and had to forcibly endure Adrian's attack. He cursed under his breath, feeling somewhat surprised. "Impudent brat! How dare you trick me?!"Adrian smiled. "Well, you're the one who tricked me first. I'm just returning the favor."After that, he unleashed all his strength without reservations and attacked the Supreme Master's vital points.Faced with such a powerful assault, the Supreme Master could not help but inhale sharply. Adrian's battle prowess was formidable.Dealing with such a powerful attack proved challenging for the Supreme Master. After a moment, he began to feel the pressure.After all, the formations in this place could absorb
And now, all of them lay unconscious. Adrian was taken aback and rushed forward to assist them. Ensuring their well-being, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief.After some time, the others gradually regained consciousness, bewildered about what had transpired.At that moment, a subtle rustling emanated from the dense foliage ahead, catching the attention of Adrian and the group. Immediately, they became alert, directing their gaze toward the rainforest.Adrian exchanged a glance with Amara, revealing her concern."Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to you!" Adrian reassured.Simultaneously, he unsheathed the Frost Crystal Divine Sword, and Amara assumed a defensive posture.After a while, a person emerged from the jungle, initially unaware of their presence. However, their gaze soon fell upon Adrian's group, causing a startled and nervous reaction."Who are you?" Adrian asked, sensing a slight relaxation in tension. The newcomer's appearance hinted that the situation might
The group continued their journey. As they went deeper, they felt as if they had entered a dark and mysterious hell within the depths of the rainforest. Nobody knew what kind of enemies might lurk around them in this deep and obscure space. Therefore, they kept themselves on guard along the way.As they progressed, the group still failed to perceive imminent threats. This confusion left Adrian perplexed.Amara glanced at Adrian, and they both understood the need for a strategic move.After a while, they devised a plan. Moving forward, the atmosphere among the group became tense. Suddenly, Adrian took action. Drawing the Frost Crystal Divine Sword, he swiftly attacked in the direction of Lorenzo. This unexpected move startled Lorenzo, and in response, he quickly retreated, attempting to create distance between them.However, Lorenzo could not escape Adrian's attack. He was visibly terrified and asked, "Mr. Adrian, what are you doing? Why would you—"Before he could finish his s
The shadow couldn't escape in time, and Adrian's attack landed squarely on it."Argh!" It let out a miserable scream and disappeared before Adrian's eyes.Adrian heaved a sigh of relief.At that moment, Fabian had not yet come around to his senses."It's an astral daemon," Adrian replied."What?! That's an astral daemon?!"Fabian was visibly shocked, finding it hard to believe that an astral daemon had appeared."That's right. It's indeed an astral daemon. All of this is their plan. I don't know what methods they used to bring us into this rainforest. Their goal is to divide and weaken our forces!"Adrian briefly explained to him what Lorenzo had learned about the situation.Regardless, all of this still shocked everyone, especially Fabian, who seemed petrified.Adrian approached him and patted his shoulder. "What's the matter? You look tense."Fabian let out a sigh and said, "Well, to be honest, I've never directly faced an astral daemon. Today is also the first time I've b
"In this case, we should gather everyone up!" Fabian said indifferently.Everyone nodded in agreement, believing that this method was the best choice. After resting for a while, they continued walking toward a deeper area because the sky was gradually darkening.Adrian believed that since an astral daemon had appeared there, there was a high possibility that more might show up at night. They could encounter more dangers if they didn't find a safe place before nightfall.Therefore, the group quickened their pace. As they moved faster, they noticed a building in front of them."Huh? How can there be a building here?"Everyone was surprised to see the structure before them. Upon closer inspection, the building stood alone in a large open space, giving an eerie feeling."In fact, there are quite a few demon and monster tribes living in this rainforest. We might have stumbled upon another gathering place of such a tribe!" Adrian said.He had a rough idea of their location after a per
