"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
“Why you—" Just as the woman spoke up, the burly man said, "Don't act impulsively, Yulene.""But he..." Yulene wanted to say more.The burly man said, "Just trust me. I know what I'm doing." Yulene suppressed her anger. She glared at Adrian and said, "Fine. Since Rayhan said so, I'll spare you for now.""Enough of this nonsense. You can all die together!"The Scarlet Harbinger could not wait anymore and launched a powerful attack. Blood-red light gathered in his hand as if it possessed a life of its own. Then, with a resounding explosion, the light rushed toward them.Adrian waved, unleashing a burst of energy. The two energies collided, and Adrian coughed up blood. Fortunately, the protective formation of Monster Slayer Island mitigated the impact significantly. Otherwise, he would be seriously injured. "Mr. Adrian!" Jaxon quickly flew toward him.Adrian tumbled in the air but gradually stabilized. He waved and said, "It's okay. I'm fine."However, the Scarlet Harbinger had
Rayhan and his group threw their weapons into the sky to bolster the formation. Each of their weapons represented one of the five elements, and the combination of the five created a powerful barrier. With this defense in place, the Scarlet Harbinger knew that breaking the formation would be no easy task."So be it. Let's see how long you can hold out," the Scarlet Harbinger said as he devised another strategy to counter their formation.In the blink of an eye, he vanished. As soon as he completely departed from the group, the airspace over Monster Slayer Island quieted down. His disappearance brought a sense of relief, easing the tension.Having been in the airspace over Monster Slayer Island, they were now very close to reaching the island itself. As the group flew into the range of the island, the complete view unfolded before their eyes.What they saw was an extremely vast landscape of mountains and rivers. Although called an island, its scale could rival a small-sized continent
Along the way, Rayhan told them about Monster Slayer Island. Despite appearing closed off from the outside world, the island housed many factions. The group of over three hundred immortals was divided into four or five smaller factions. Rayhan belonged to the Cyan Palace, the most powerful faction on the island and the direct successor of the Cyan Warrior."In legends, the Cyan Warrior’s residence was called the Cyan Palace. I thought it was just something created by novelists, but I never expected it to be true," Horace said in amazement."Haha, novels are often inspired by real life!" Adrian laughed."That's true.” Horace agreed.They then arrived at their destination. It was a magnificent palace—none other than the Cyan Palace."Welcome back, sir," several apprentices greeted Rayhan respectfully at the entrance.Adrian's group was surprised. "You’re the leader of a faction?"Rayhan smiled sheepishly.Adrian glanced at the people before him, and he found out that all of them
