Boom! Boom! Boom!Suddenly, the enemies before him exploded. Countless crimson lights swept through, corroding the ground wherever they passed and forming a new barrier that enveloped Adrian."Oh? This is interesting," Adrian said. A terrifying figure then emerged and arrived beside him. Adrian observed that the enemies he had defeated earlier had come together to create a larger entity, and all the power from those individuals had gathered into this new monstrous form. This creature’s strength was ten times greater than his previous enemies. "Rrraaagh!" The creature let out a monstrous roar. In response, the distant jungle echoed with strange howls as multiple unknown entities answered it."Since there are so many of you, why hide in the bushes?! You should all come straight at me!" Adrian shouted. The monsters seemed to understand him, and countless figures slowly emerged from the distant jungle. They appeared in vast, overwhelming numbers. Adrian estimated that there were a
Adrian noticed that the monsters' corpses transformed into solid shields and were capable of withstanding his attacks under the influence of the crimson light. As his sword energies wreaked havoc, more and more monsters fell to his blade. Simultaneously, the number of monsters being used as shields increased.In less than a moment, a massive and sturdy protective wall formed around the monsters. Although their advance was slow, their steps were firm. They steadily approached Adrian, quickly forcing him to the edge of the barrier. Another step back and he would be where Lyra and the others were. Adrian knew that he could not back down now.Filled with fierce battle intent, the monsters escalated their attacks and unleashed blood-red beams. Adrian could hold his ground against the attacks. However, he quickly realized that the enemies were not only attacking him but also targeting the barrier behind him.While the barrier was well-constructed, its power was limited due to the quantity
"I must commend you for lasting as long as you have. However, resistance is futile in my presence," the king said in a voice that had an androgynous quality.They couldn’t discern if this person was truly the king. Despite having the king’s face, the figure before them had a monstrous and horrifying body."What's going on?"According to Adrian, the king was dead. Why was he appearing before them now, and in such a grotesque form?A powerful dark energy emanated from the king as he said, "Greetings, my subjects. You are the citizens of Silver Peak Island, so where do you think you're going?"The malevolence in the air shrouded the entire area, making it difficult for the people to breathe. Some weaker individuals instantly died, while others succumbed to the pressure and fell to their knees. The souls and blood of those who died flowed into the king and became a part of him.The king's face twisted into a grotesque expression, and an overwhelmingly powerful force erupted. "Tsk, ts
He had been greatly humiliated in his previous battle with Adrian. If it were not for Adrian, he wouldn’t have to resort to using the sacrificial technique. But even that had failed to harm him. Adrian managed to escape unscathed.Had the king not encountered the ancestor after plunging into the abyss and received mercy—along with an augmentation in strength—he might have already met his demise/ The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.The king charged at Adrian with his fist raised high as he shouted, "You brat! Now that you've shown up, prepare to die!"The people inside the building also noticed Adrian and cheered excitedly."Look! It's Mr. Adrian!""Is it really him? Is he here to save us?"The king cast a disdainful glance at the people. "Do you really think you can escape from me? Minions, kill them!"After receiving their orders, the monsters turned toward Lyra and the others. When the monsters paused their attack earlier, Lyra and the others felt a brief mome
Rupert's guess was correct. The group that appeared at this moment was indeed from Silverboa. Moments ago, Adrian had flown back to the camp at the fastest speed to call for reinforcements. He knew that with his current capabilities, it would be unrealistic to both face the enemy and rescue so many people. Therefore, he went back to rally everyone for support.The Silverboa team was delighted to receive a task from Adrian, especially Cassius. After all, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Due to the uncertainty of the enemy's strength, they decided to send half of their forces to provide support.As reinforcements arrived, the tense atmosphere began to relax."Do you think you can get away so easily?"Though the people had reinforcements, the monsters were unwilling to let them go. They regrouped and launched another attack.Observing the situation, Cassius analyzed, "Elijah, Micah, escort the civilians out. Ambrose and I will cover you.""Okay!" Elijah and Micah
The king smirked coldly. As he took a step forward, another domineering aura burst forth.Adrian was caught off guard and was forced back, the blood in his body pumping violently. ‘He’s strong!’Adrian was overwhelmed by fear. At the same time, an even more domineering gust of wind swept over. The king seemed to have turned into a meteor, carrying an unprecedentedly powerful aura as he pressed toward Adrian.Adrian tried to resist, but the opponent's reaction seemed to surpass his expectations.Bam!Caught off guard, Adrian was struck. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew backward.‘This guy…’ He now truly realized that this person had completely transformed and was no longer the same king of Silver Peak Island as before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this strong.Fortunately, Adrian was not weak. Although this move caused his entire body to be in turmoil, it did not kill him. He quickly stabilized himself.But at this moment, the opponent's second wave of attacks came. Adrian
Quintin then asked, "There's something I don't understand. If we withdraw, then this war—"But before he could finish, he realized that there were people from Silver Peak Island present. So, he immediately shut his mouth.Lyra shook her head and said, "It's okay. Silver Peak Island has changed now."The events that had occurred had left them hopeless over Silver Peak Island. If it weren't for Adrian and the others sacrificing themselves to save them, they would probably have already perished without a burial ground.Adrian suddenly asked, "Is there a need to continue this war?""Umm..." Quintin was stunned and didn't know how to answer.He knew that since things had developed to this point, there was indeed no need to continue the war. Silver Peak Island was now in ruins and was essentially already finished. The only target now was the demonized king of Silver Peak Island. He was the one to be eliminated—he was now their number-one enemy!Quintin said, "That's right. At this poi
The crowd looked at each other and quickly understood. They knew that what Adrian said was correct. After all, the enemy was extremely powerful, and there were quite a lot of people here. If they couldn't successfully get away, then everyone might perish here. Understanding this deeply, the crowd didn't linger and quickly moved toward the boats as quickly as they could."What about you, Adrian?" Lyra asked. She knew that with her level of abilities, she couldn’t help him. But if she just left, she wouldn't be at ease either.Adrian looked at her, his expression as calm as water. "I will have a life-and-death battle with him," he answered decisively.Lyra bit her lip as her brows furrowed as if she were thinking about something. After a moment, she pricked her finger and dripped blood onto the emerald pendant on her chest. Something strange then happened.At a visible speed, the originally flawless emerald pendant started glowing red. It looked like it had been stained, adding a u
