The darkening sky signaled that the astral daemons were coming."Hahahaha!"A burst of mad laughter echoed through the air. As everyone turned toward the sound, they saw a colossal figure slowly descending from the sky—an astral daemon. His physique was robust, and he exuded a formidable strength that commanded attention in any room."Well, well, well. It truly astounds me that you insignificant humans managed to escape from the wilderness. It seems I underestimated you," the astral daemon said. "What? You're the one who sent us there?" Adrian asked. "I proposed the plan, but the actual execution was a collective effort of my tribe. After all, teleporting so many people to the wilderness is quite a grand undertaking. My strength alone would be insufficient," the astral daemon patiently explained.The creature was not scared of Adrian and his team despite being outnumbered."Damn it, you astral daemon!" Adrian cursed, "Since you've shown yourself, things just got easier. Toda
Suddenly, all of the astral daemons started roaring one after another. As everyone looked on, powerful cloud waves appeared before them. These cloud waves acted as a protective barrier, helping them withstand Adrian and others’ attacks."Not bad," Adrian commented. However, this was only the first wave of attacks. He still had other abilities at his disposal."Divine Energy Crossbows, fire!" Adrian commanded.Following his order, countless Divine Energy Crossbows were fired. Bam! Bam! Bam!These crossbows were powerful equipment. When they were activated, the sea surface erupted from the intense and violent tremor. These weapons had also been upgraded and strengthened, minimizing the consumption of the user’s spiritual energy.Most importantly, these crossbows could harness the power of the formation to manipulate the environmental spiritual energy for their use. The stronger the spiritual energy in the surroundings, the more formidable these crossbows became. As long as there w
Unfortunately, the opponents' numbers were simply too overwhelming. Despite their efforts, there seemed to be no good solution. Just when everyone was cracking their heads over what to do, Adrian said, "Don't worry, I have a plan."“What is it?" The others were visibly surprised.Adrian then explained his plan to them.Upon hearing the plan, Cormac said, "All right, let’s do as Adrian says!” He quickly commanded, "Defend!"The situation of the battle changed. Initially attacking the astral daemons fiercely, the humans began defending themselves instead. Meanwhile, the astral daemon horde rushed forward like mad dogs, surrounding them from all sides. Adrian and his group resembled a small boat navigating the raging tide of daemons, appearing insignificant and vulnerable to the onslaught."What do we do, Adrian?!" someone asked, "They outnumber us, and you're not allowing us to attack. It's like sending us to our deaths!"Many doubts and questions arose from the surrounding peopl
"Take this!" Adrian shouted while brandishing his sword toward the astral daemon leader.Boom!The leader was caught off guard. He had no way to dodge and could only hastily put up a barrier to defend himself. However, Adrian's strength clearly surpassed his. Despite using all his power, he could not withstand Adrian's formidable attack.Adrian looked at the astral daemons indifferently. He had been confident that the daemon would not be able to withstand his attack.A miserable scream echoed, and the leader was sent flying before disintegrating into ashes.As soon as the astral daemons lost their leader, their formation crumbled. Adrian’s group soon eliminated them. Most found this situation unbelievable. They could not believe that they had defeated these daemons. "I-Is it over?" someone asked."Yes, it is," Adrian replied. He looked at them and added with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you still don't believe it. Or perhaps you want to fight the astral daemons ag
"That's right." "Although there are many races throughout the world, the astral daemons are unheard of. We need to figure out where they came from." Everyone started to voice their concern. Even Adrian was puzzled about the origins of the astral daemons. Since leaving the ancient secret realm, he had not been able to return to Frostspire. Therefore, he was uncertain about the current situation there. With that in mind, Adrian said, "I believe we should hurry back to Frostspire to see what's going on.""Why go back to Frostspire? Is there anything good waiting for us there?"“Yeah, is there anything in it for us?""I think it's just because you guys are from Frostspire that you're so eager to go back."Amara became a little displeased. She snorted and said, "You people are funny! You joined us because you couldn’t defeat the astral daemons, but now you refuse to listen to our orders.""Exactly. If you want to continue benefiting from us, you have to obey our orders without qu
The situation left them stunned in their tracks. "Looks like the astral daemons have become quite strong. The situation wouldn’t be like this otherwise." Adrian sighed.Everyone remained completely silent at these words.Just then, a figure in the distance approached. While not moving swiftly, the person caught everyone's attention. In response, they all put up their guard. As the person drew near, Adrian recognized who it was.The newcomer was not an enemy but the mysterious elder who had been trapped in the secret realm with Adrian. Adrian eagerly greeted him and asked, "Sir, how did you end up here?"He then realized that this question was unnecessary. As far as he knew, the elderly man was a senior of Frostspire. He was trapped in that underground place due to the schemes of the Supreme Master. Therefore, it was normal for him to come back to Frostspire after escaping from that underground space. Knowing this, Adrian hoped to gather useful information. The elderly man looke
However, some astral daemons were left behind in the human world. They took to hiding throughout the world such as the depths of the deep sea.Adrian and the others nodded. Adrian then asked, "So, does this mean that these astral daemons are preparing for a large-scale invasion into our world?""That's right," the old man said.Adrian fell silent for a moment. He knew what they had to do next."We have to gather more people. Only by doing so will we have the capability to take on the astral daemons that may appear in the future," Adrian said.The old man nodded in agreement. However, there was still another problem at hand. Where were they supposed to stay? Now that Frostspire had crumbled, were they condemned to wander endlessly if they could not find a new place to settle in?Maxwell said, "I know a place where we can stay."Everyone looked at him in confusion."We can stay at Silverboa City," Maxwell said.Discussions broke out."I heard that Silverboa has been putting up
After giving them some additional instructions, Adrian bid farewell to them. He had to continue exploring and uncovering the secrets of the astral daemons. A month later, Adrian hid away in a secluded place to practice while reflecting on his experiences. During this contemplation, he noticed a strange energy in the surrounding area.‘Hmm? Where is this energy coming from?’ he wondered. Curious, he withdrew from his meditative state and scrutinized his surroundings with an interrogative gaze. However, the mysterious energy vanished without a trace. ‘Strange. Why does the feeling disappear as soon as I leave the meditative state?’Unfazed, Adrian closed his eyes again and reentered the meditative state. Once back in the state, he could once again perceive the peculiar sensation. It was an odd feeling extending slowly from the ground beneath him.This time, Adrian composed his mind and observed the strange energy fluctuation. During his observation, he realized that beneath the
