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
Even though the dilapidated building could provide some shelter for them, it was not effective against a potential attack. Therefore, Adrian had to remain vigilant at all times, and even Lorenzo was filled with caution. As the night grew darker, Adrian sensed a hint of danger.Quickly rising, he instructed the others to guard the building while he investigated outside. Beyond the building, inky darkness prevailed, making it nearly impossible to see.However, Adrian was able to faintly discern a flickering shadow within the darkness by squinting his eyes. The shadow was slowly approaching their location.'Well, another enemy!' Adrian marvelled silently. Meanwhile, the silhouette within the darkness was slowly approaching their direction. Deciding to take a calculated risk, Adrian subtly initiated an attack, while it appeared that the intruder remained unaware that Adrian had detected his presence.The intruder continued advancing until he reached the outside of the building. O
Adrian's attack hit the intruder hard, knocking him back and leaving him breathless. The force was so strong that he barely managed to stay on his feet.Gasping for air, he stared at Adrian in disbelief and muttered, "How is this possible?"Ignoring him, Arian drew his sword and swiftly ended the intruder's life."What happened, Adrian?" At that moment, Amara, Azaan, Fabian, and others who were resting had also awakened. They all turned their heads around and observed Adrian in disbelief. Adrian smiled and said, "Well, it's just a small matter. Don't worry about it." They all nodded and did not press on. Nothing happened for the rest of the night. Early the next morning, Adrian and his group continued their journey.However, after walking for a while, they encountered a vast and expansive world ahead. In this new area, they looked around and soon noticed a large group of people. The sight was spectacular, and the people seemed to be numerous and imposing.Observing these
The festering resentment in their hearts naturally diminished quite a bit. Just at this moment, more and more people gathered around. Soon, they spotted each other and exchanged wary looks, their faces showing distrust.Some even went so far as to launch attacks against certain factions on sight.A figure rushed out and intercepted the warring parties at a critical moment. When the warring parties saw this newcomer, they were visibly surprised. Immediately, one of them expressed dissatisfaction, "Who are you? Why are you here to stop us?"Another person chimed in. "Exactly! These guys killed our companions in the rainforest before. Now that we've encountered them again, I naturally want to avenge our dead comrades!"These individuals seemed extremely angry, grinding their teeth and expressing a strong desire to dismember their enemies.As Adrian looked at them, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.On the other side, the group quickly defended themselves, "We killed your companions?
As soon as he finished his sentence, discussions erupted among the crowd. The fact that apprentices from the Frostspire had appeared here caused a ripple of astonishment."Hey, they’re from Frostspire. With their protection, we should be completely safe/""Keep your voice down. Now’s not the time to discuss such matters.""Why?""Are you all idiots? Just because he claims to be from the Frostspire, does it mean he really is?""Exactly, without concrete evidence, who knows if they’re deceiving us."The people around engaged in hushed discussions, and although their voices were low, Adrian and the others still heard them. However, they remained indifferent. Since Adrian had confirmed that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the astral daemons, their only target now was the astral daemons. They had no interest in opposing these humans.Subsequently, Adrian found a relatively stable location and led everyone to establish a defense line there. Observing his actions, some other f
Seeing these people charging toward them, Adrian had no choice but to retaliate. Since their strength was significantly superior to others, they weren't a match for Adrian and the others, no matter how ferocious they appeared. Adrian didn't resort to lethal force but merely repelled them.Amid all this, Adrian harbored some deeper concerns. That concern was the hidden astral daemons. Up to this point, the astral daemons had yet to show themselves. The internal conflicts among humans had already caused a strong impact. He felt anxious, afraid that when their side became utterly defenseless, the astral daemons would launch an attack. At that point, they would have no capability to resist.With these thoughts in mind, Adrian said to those around him, "Everyone, stay here and be on guard. I'll be right back.""Where are you going?" Cormac asked. They had just reunited, and Cormac didn't want his son to face danger again.Adrian replied, "Don't worry, Father. I won't be in any danger!
The size of this figure could be described as colossal, many times larger than Adrian himself. Its sudden appearance took him by surprise. As the colossal astral daemon appeared, countless forces surged around it as a fierce strike was directed at Adrian.Adrian noticed that its attacking power was several times stronger than all the other astral daemons present. The moment it appeared, the surrounding area was filled with surging power, transforming the region into what seemed like a boiling ocean. This sudden transformation created an immense sense of intimidation.However, Adrian remained fearless. Everything happening now was well within his expectations. He let out a long roar, and simultaneously, he soared into the air. At this moment, it was as if he and the colossal astral daemon had completely discarded everything around them, leaving only the two of them in the arena.Boom!With a loud explosion, the arena trembled violently. The astral daemon was still quite formidable,
