"You don’t think it’s a good plan?" Adrian asked. Azure replied, "I have some concerns.""Oh? Go ahead and share them with me. If it makes sense, I'll consider it," Adrian replied.Azure continued, "Though we have the advantage in numbers, we shouldn't underestimate our enemy. While we have been underground for a long time, we're still people of this world. We are well aware of the situation here. If we push our enemy into a corner, they will go berserk. They will unleash their strongest moves, and even with the Frost Crystal Divine Sword, we might not have a guaranteed victory.”Adrian furrowed his brows slightly. He asked in disbelief, "Is there something here that even the Frost Crystal Divine Sword can't eliminate?" He was skeptical of this.Azure confidently replied, "Yes."Adrian was taken aback. He found this hard to believe, but he knew from Azure's serious expression that he was not lying. He had to find out more about the situation.Azure continued, "It seems you're n
Adrian had eliminated many formidable enemies with the Frost Crystal Divine Sword, so he refused to believe that it was useless against the Variants. Azure sighed. "That's an unknown factor. There are seven kinds of Variants, and their strengths vary greatly. The ones you eliminated earlier were part of the weakest group.”Adrian fell silent.Suddenly, a young man nearby piped up, “I have an idea, Mr. Azure." Adrian looked at the young man and asked, "Do you mind sharing it with us?" "Sure," the young man said, "The elders of my family mentioned that there are four arrays in the four corners of the Shadow Realm. If these four arrays are activated simultaneously, they can suppress the Variants.""That's right. How could I forget about that?" Azure said. Adrian became interested and asked, "What are these arrays? Can you tell me more?""Our ancestors always looked toward the future. They arranged several arrays in various locations underground. If we encounter problems, we ca
"Let's see if Gareth has returned. It's been so long. He should have captured that kid by now." The group turned their gaze toward the distance. To their astonishment, a person stood not far from them. Standing with arms crossed, a composed attitude, and a faint smile, he radiated an aura of indifference.The man was none other than Adrian."How is this possible?"The group was utterly shocked. They could not believe that Adrian had appeared before them. According to their plan, Adrian should have been captured by Gareth. After a moment of disbelief, understanding began to dawn upon them. "Has he killed Gareth?" someone exclaimed."That's impossible! Gareth is the most formidable fighter of the Shadow Realm. He's also the head of the Abyssal Covenant. His strength is unquestionable. How could he lose to this kid?"However, the confident expression on Adrian's face did not seem fake. Even if they did not want to believe it, they had no choice but to believe it. Seeing their r
"It's the Frost Crystal Divine Sword!" they shouted as their faces were filled with despair and fear. They all knew that all of their attacks would be powerless before this weapon. Adrian swung the sword, effortlessly cutting down his opponents one after another. Before long, all of them had perished. After he had finished dealing with them, he swiftly approached Orion who was barely holding on.Orion looked at Adrian and smiled. “I always knew you could do it, Mr. Adrian."Adrian said, "Don't talk. I'll save you."Orion replied faintly, "There’s no need. I know my situation. I'm beyond saving."Adrian shook his head and attempted to transfer his energy into Orion's body, but it proved futile. Regardless of his efforts, the energy dissipated rapidly. However, he was not ready to give up on Orion just yet and continued to channel more energy into Orion's body. It was only after Orion closed his eyes that he stopped.He sighed deeply and said, "Rest in peace, Orion."After buryin
This time, it was the leader's turn to be stunned. Looking at Adrian, he sneered. "Do you really think this is all I'm capable of? Ridiculous..." He retaliated with a punch.Earlier, he was able to catch Adrian off guard because Adrian was mourning Orion's death. However, Adrian had now completely regained his focus. Regardless of how powerful the opponent was, they were no match for him. The speed and precision of his attack caught the opponent off guard. In a single strike, he hit the man squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying backward."Retreat!" Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the man in black turned and fled."You think you can escape after causing trouble?"Adrian chased after him, and he quickly caught up to the fleeing figure. Soon, they arrived at a cave, and the black-clad person disappeared. Observing the surrounding darkness, Adrian's brows furrowed tightly. He had not expected the man to disappear into thin air. Cursing inwardly, Adrian waved and relea
Adrian looked around and saw a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and mountains. It was far from the dark and abyssal underground world. The place looked like a fairytale land, filled with the fragrance of flowers and the melodies of birds."I never expected to find such a mysterious place underground!" Adrian exclaimed.Surprisingly, the ominous aura he had felt earlier had completely disappeared upon entering this area. Now, he felt invigorated. Curious, Adrian explored the area. He wandered aimlessly and stumbled upon some strange features. Despite the place’s idyllic appearance, he spotted hints of previous human activity. In the thick jungle, he discovered ruins and remnants of ancient structures covered in moss and vines.Adrian arrived at a location with crumbling walls and broken structures. Observing the scene, he wondered about the history of this place and decided to investigate. As he was observing the ruins, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the distance."Hmm?"
Even though they were at a disadvantage, they did not succumb to defeat, and their next actions seemed to turn the tide. In the next second, a mysterious and intense dark energy enveloped them. Adrian's face sank as he recognized this dark energy.With the help of the dark energy, the faltering group swiftly turned the tables on their opponents. Just when they were about to deliver the final blow, Adrian intervened. In a flash, those who were supported by the dark energy were no match and were instantly slain. This sudden turn of events left the other group astonished. Instead of expressing gratitude, they became wary."Who did that?" one of them asked cautiously.Adria stepped forward, and replied, "It was me."The group scrutinized Adrian, looking for any signs of deception. After a while, a burly man stepped forward and said, "Thanks for helping us deal with them, sir. May I know who you are?"Adrian was momentarily stunned as he did not know how to respond. The man continued
"Very well. Since you insist on seeking death, then I, the Scarlet Harbinger, will send you on your way," the opposing figure coldly uttered.The person who revealed himself was Jameson Buchanan, the Scarlet Harbinger from the Buchanan family. An ominous aura emanated from him, indicating his allegiance to dark otherworldly forces. The group that Adrian had earlier eliminated was under Jameson's command.Jameson had been lurking in the shadows while waiting for the opportune moment to reveal himself. Now, he believed that the time was ripe for action, so he showed himself. Everyone was shocked. However, the people from Monster Slayer Island displayed even greater astonishment."You're the Scarlet Harbinger?!" a woman exclaimed.In response, Jameson laughed coldly. "Yes, I am. Have you heard of my name?""Prepare yourselves!" the woman commanded. All of them activated their defensive measures. They were already on high alert before, and they were even on a higher alert now. The
