The events that unfolded during this trial were completely unexpected. Many prominent figures on Monster Slayer Island felt embarrassed by the situation. Not only did they not anticipate such occurrences, but they were also awestruck by Adrian's strength. They dared not imagine how things would have developed without Adrian's intervention.Due to these unexpected circumstances, people's perceptions of Adrian changed. Even those who harbored preconceived notions or dissatisfaction toward him started to view him in a new light.Rayhan was quite pleased. He believed in Adrian from the beginning. It was just that he did not know how to silence the voices of dissent until now. With relief, he came to the plaza of Azure Palace and asked, "Everyone, do you have any objections to Mr. Adrian becoming the lord of Monster Slayer Island?" They dared not to have any objection. After all, Adrian was acknowledged by the Monster Slayer Blade itself. Therefore, they all unanimously responded, "No o
"Fusion!" Adrian shouted while unleashing all of his power. Powerful energy surrounded him, elevating his strength to terrifying heights.Boom! The Frost Crystal Divine Sword and the Monster Slayer Blade merged into one. They had successfully transformed into a more powerful artifact."Excellent. From now on, I'll call you the Divine Frost Slayer Blade!" Adrian was filled with joy. Next, he left the place and returned to Silverboa City with his group.Adrian stood on the city wall with his hands clasped behind his back and gazed ahead in silence. He had been here for three days.Quintin walked over and said, "Mr. Adrian, you've been here for three days." "I know," Adrian replied indifferently."What are you looking at?" Quintin asked, standing beside him and gazing ahead. As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate wasteland. After the intense battles, the land was covered with vast stretches of scorched ground. A timely rain could wash away the remnants of war, but it co
Adrian remained calm and looked at Maxwell. "Do you remember what I told you before?"Maxwell paused for a moment but quickly responded, "You said if I reach level seven within a year, you'll teach me higher-level techniques.""In war, strength alone doesn't guarantee success. Strategy is crucial. Now is the time to showcase your talent."Maxwell's eyes lit up. He nodded earnestly and said, "Okay, leave the defense of the city to me!"Others were taken aback and said, "What? You're leaving the defense of the city to him, Mr. Adrian?”"Yes, and you all as well. I'll handle the enemies," Adrian said.He leaped down from the city wall and disappeared into the pitch-black night. Since the enemies approached under the cover of night, he decided to use the darkness to his advantage as well. Boom!Another thunderclap erupted, and the enemies discovered a ghostly figure rushing toward them."Who is it? Argh!" They were met with a deadly attack just as they barely finished their que
Adrian asked, "Spare you? What do you have to offer in exchange?"The daemon was startled and trembled all over. However, he knew that there was still room for negotiation."I… I…" he stammered as his eyes darted around as if trying to think of something. "Oh yeah!" his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something."Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.The man did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around to check if the surroundings were safe."Come closer and I'll tell you. And you must keep this a secret. Don't let my superiors find out,” he said.The daemon looked nervous, and Adrian knew why he would act this way. After all, nobody liked traitors. If he revealed their secrets to Adrian, he would undoubtedly face retaliation from his faction. Therefore, he needed Adrian's protection.Adrian assured him, "Don't worry. As long as what you say is true, I will keep you safe.""Really?" the man asked doubtfully.Not wanting to waste time, Adrian replied sternly, "Either te
The poisonous mist was utterly powerless against Adrian, and he easily killed the opponent. Everyone in the city had witnessed Adrian's battle. Some present hadn't seen Adrian's strength before, so they were deeply entranced by his combat power. When Adrian returned to the city, everyone was looking at him like he had turned into a different person."What's wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me like that?" Adrian asked as he found this strange.Rayhan was the first to speak. "Ahem, ahem. Your strength is truly astonishing, Adrian! I’m in awe!"Maxwell laughed. "Haha! I told you that Adrian's strength is beyond our comprehension. You didn't believe me. How about now? Do you know how formidable he is?"Rayhan nodded repeatedly. "I do now!"For the past three days, he had been closely watching Adrian. Unfortunately, Adrian had not shown any special qualities until today. He looked just like an ordinary person. It was only when he fought alone against a group of enemies that
Adrian explained, "You don't need to worry about it. I won't let him go to dangerous places, but to say that there’s no risk at all would be lying. There’s danger at every corner of life, after all.""I like that!" Rayhan clapped his hands joyfully. "Just like Adrian said, the world is filled with dangers. I like challenging tasks.”"Well, since you have no objections, we won’t object either..."Everyone fell silent. After this battle, Adrian and the others did not launch a massive attack on Apollo Citadel. On the contrary, they invested all their strength in defense. Rumors circulated that they had fought a difficult battle. Although they achieved victory, the losses were quite severe and they had to enter a state of recuperation.In the wilderness outside Apollo Citadel a few days later, a person was fleeing in a panic as if they were being chased. It was Rayhan."Stop!""Come back with us and we will spare your life!"Behind him, several people were chasing after him, continu
"Very well. Follow me." The person turned around and walked toward Apollo Citadel. Rayhan was at a loss, but the others shouted, "Why are you just standing there? Come along!""Okay!" Rayhan hurriedly got up and followed closely behind.Nobody noticed that several people were watching everything from a dark corner. The leader of the group was none other than Adrian."This is brilliant!" Quintin gave a thumbs up in admiration.Cormac, with his arms crossed, wondered aloud, "Indeed. Now that Rayhan has infiltrated the enemy camp, all we have to do is wait for him to relay info.""The astral daemons spared no effort to defend Apollo Citadel as it’s an important checkpoint. Doing this is a foolproof plan," Adrian said indifferently.His words were not wrong. The current plan was to come up with a comprehensive strategy after fully understanding Apollo Citadel’s layout. Launching an attack on the place was possible for Silverboa City with its current strength, but the price to be pa
Early one morning, Dominik received a message from Apollo Citadel requesting 30 million spirit crystals. Rivier’s assets amounted to just over 50 million spirit crystals. If they were to take out 30 million all at once, Rivier would instantly be in dire straits. If enemies attacked, they would be defenseless."This is utter nonsense!” Dominik cursed. One of his subordinates then reported, "Sir, there's someone outside requesting an audience." Dominik waved dismissively. "I'm busy and won't entertain anyone!" But the subordinate continued, "This person claims he can help us solve our current difficulties."Intrigued, Dominik looked up. "Oh?" As the ruler of a city, he was responsible for all its citizens. If someone could truly assist him, he wouldn't easily let go of this opportunity."Let him in. I want to see what help he can offer me," Dominik said solemnly.The subordinate left to convey the order and soon returned with someone in tow. "Nice to meet you, Commander Dom
