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
With a wave, the aura tore apart the heavens and earth, pressing forward aggressively.Adrian's expression turned solemn. "Well done."He knew that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated. He decided to adopt a more conservative approach. He shielded himself with the Divine Frost Slayer Blade.Clang!The two weapons collided, releasing a crisp sound.Swish swish swish!At the moment of the clash, Adrian saw countless sword rays rushing toward him like a tide. Although the king only swung once, countless sword essences appeared. Each move was aimed at Adrian's vital points. Their destructive power was so formidable that he felt slight terror despite seeing through the situation.Fortunately, Adrian's strength was formidable enough to withstand this move. If it were someone else, they would have been dismembered on the spot.‘No, this person is too strong. I can't confront him head-on!’ Adrian thought.When confronting an enemy of this level, one had to attack the o
He disappeared and arrived before Adrian in the blink of an eye. Then, he grabbed Adrian and lifted him from the ground.Adrian felt as if a giant pair of iron tongs had clamped down on him. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get away. In fact, he didn’t have the strength to struggle as he was being suppressed by a mysterious and unpredictable force. As long as this force existed, Adrian couldn't move a muscle.The king smirked victoriously. "Don’t worry, I won't kill you right now. I'm going to take you somewhere to make the best use of you.”"Why you..." Adrian managed to spit out with difficulty. But he was currently at the mercy of others and couldn't break free, so he could only let the other party manipulate him.Adrian secretly thought, ‘Well, I’ll just let him take me wherever he wants then.’It wasn't because Adrian had another trump card up his sleeve, but because he knew he had no other choice. Since that was the case, he might as well go with the flow and see wher
The king smiled coldly and said, "It seems like you've resigned yourself to your fate. In that case, I'll send you on your way!"He threw Adrian toward the giant demon. Adrian didn't resist and allowed himself to be thrown because he found that as he got closer to the demon, the power within the emerald pendant became stronger. It seemed that the emerald pendant was resonating with the demon in some strange way. Since that was the case, Adrian wasn’t worried.As Adrian flew toward the demon, he saw the demon open its eyes. The enormous eyes stared directly at Adrian as if looking at an insignificant ant. Then, an intense rumbling sound erupted. The colossal monster slowly extended its hand toward Adrian. The hand was so huge that it covered the sky.In just an instant, the demon caught him, and an incredibly powerful pressure enveloped him. Under this terrifying pressure, Adrian felt as if he had no choice but to be at the mercy of others."Respected ancestor, I offer this sacrific
The king decided to take action.Adrian waved and said, "I’ve never seen anyone come to their death so proactively. In that case, I'll grant you your wish!"The king felt a powerful force surge toward him from a distant place. And most importantly, this force felt extremely familiar to him."Hmm?" He frowned, quickly realizing that something was wrong.Suddenly, with a flicker, the force arrived before him. The king was caught off guard, and he was instantly pierced through.Stab!While the king was still in shock, a sharp blade appeared in Adrian's hand. It was a long and slender blade, resembling flickering flames, instantly exuding immense intimidation."This… This is the Inferno Slayer Blade!” the king exclaimed in disbelief.What Adrian was holding was indeed the blade known as the Inferno Slayer Blade. This blade was a legendary weapon of Silver Peak Island. It was extremely powerful and was specifically used to restrain evil spirits.When Adrian was caught by the ancest
But soon, Adrian returned safely to them. Everyone was delighted.Adrian then shared his experience with them. After listening, everyone was shocked. They never expected such secrets to be hidden within the island.But after all that had happened, there were still many things left to do. Adrian decided to accompany Lyra to her mother's hometown, thinking there would be more discoveries there.But just as Adrian decided to head to Mudstone Village, Lyra hesitated. She lowered her head and looked at her blood-stained clothes, her expression turning ugly."If it's because I hurt you, you can refuse me. I'll..." Adrian narrowed his eyes."Hmph!" Lyra snorted coldly and turned to walk toward the nearby Blood River. "You don't even know what you've done," she grumbled.Curious, Adrian followed and saw Lyra begin to undress when she reached the edge of the river."What are you doing?" he asked in confusion."My clothes are covered in blood. When I get back, the chief and the others su
"Is that mountain peak our landmark?" Adrian asked."The village is at the foot of Cloud Puff Mountain," Lyra replied.After that, the two fell silent. Lyra occasionally turned to glance at Adrian with an inexplicable look. Although he had lost his fighting spirit, he could still sense her gaze on him. But he also knew that even if he asked, she probably wouldn't tell him what she was thinking.Things were becoming a bit strange, and Adrian became more vigilant.After walking for more than an hour, the two finally emerged from the rainforest and came upon a large open space. In the clearing were some wooden and bamboo huts with smoke rising from their chimneys.Judging by the number of houses, Adrian estimated that the village had a population of about a thousand. He speculated that if everyone here was close to Lyra's level, which was the eighth level, then things would be troublesome.And what Adrian saw next confirmed his speculation. Although not everyone was at the eighth le
