‘For now, I have to be obedient.’ Adrian smirked.Frederick and the others, who had already finished handling Elio's burial, saw that Adrian had regained consciousness. They walked over with serious expressions, and someone whispered to Frederick, "This guy is extremely dangerous. Why don't we just kill him?"Although Frederick harbored the same thoughts, when he recalled what the chief had said to him before, he knew that Adrian would play a crucial role in finding those outsiders who stole the Lunar Edge. With a grim expression, he shook his head.Kill Adrian? Yes, but not right now.However, Frederick was worried. Adrian was too good at acting. He seemed perfectly normal on the surface, but when it came to killing, he showed no mercy. Having such a person around was truly dangerous. Although the Lunar Edge was important, his own life was equally valuable."Don't provoke him for now, but if he shows any signs of rebellion, then kill him," Frederick solemnly instructed the people
If she didn't know that she couldn't beat the person before her, she would have attacked already, Unfortunately, reality was cruel."I understand," Lyra said in a low voice."Hmph! Let's go!"Before they could find the one who stole the Lunar Edge, Elio was unexpectedly killed by one of their own. Frederick was upset, and he even thought about whether to give up this search operation. However, when he thought of the importance of the Lunar Edge to their village, which was incomparable to ten Elios, he had to calm down and lead the team forward.As Adrian was injured again, Lyra had to carry him on her back. It took a full half hour before he woke up. After waking up, he quickly used his Vital Energy to repair his body. But this time, he made himself look even weaker as if he was about to die soon."Are you okay?" Lyra whispered."Sorry for troubling you," Adrian whispered back.The reason he said what he said earlier was to provoke Frederick. He knew that the other party would d
The person bitten by the poisonous snake, although an expert at the phenomena stage, quickly turned into a pus-like mess after being bitten and wrapped around the neck by the snake. The incident happened too suddenly. Other than Adrian and Lyra at the end of the team, no one else had time to react. When they turned and saw the snake and the corpse on the ground, everyone's expression became one of panic."Mr. Frederick!" someone exclaimed in shock. The black snake on the ground, after killing one person, tried to flee the scene. But Frederick, who heard the commotion from behind, quickly turned around. Seeing another person dead, his expression changed drastically, and he was filled with anger.Although the snake on the ground was terrifying in terms of speed and venom, it was still far inferior to Frederick's sword. The weapon chopped it up and crushed it into a pile of flesh."Check on Tiago!" Frederick directed the person beside him.The person looked reluctant. Tiago Christia
Lyra carried Adrian on her back, observing the situation too. Since she needed to take care of Adrian while he pretended to be weak, she felt that now was not the right time for them to escape.They did not provide the group with any assistance. After around ten minutes, the ground was littered with the corpses of hundreds of black snakes. Frederick guided the group in a fighting strategy, eventually managing to exit the black snakes’ attack range.At this point, only fifteen people remained in the group. The expressions of sorrow on their faces grew more prominent. Strange incidents had become more common around their village recently. When they entered Cloud Puff Mountain in the past, they would not encounter danger as long as they stayed out of the secret realm.However, things were entirely different now. The surroundings of Cloud Puff Mountain were now filled with all sorts of dangers, leaving them bewildered about the sudden shift in the situation."We finally made it out.” S
The people of Blade's Reach had harbored resentment toward Adrian for a long time but had refrained from taking action against him because Frederick prevented it. Now that Adrian was provoking them openly, they believed that Frederick would not object to them killing him. "It seems like you truly have a death wish," one of them said.Seeing Adrian walking toward them with Lyra, one of them shouted, "I will avenge Elio!" This man was Jack, a close friend of Elio’s. He had been waiting for a chance to avenge his friend. Now that it was presented to him, he wasn’t about to let it slip away.The Blade's Reach villagers were all armed with swords.Jack charged at Adrian. The others watched in silence. They knew that Adrian had sustained injuries from Frederick and believed they could easily subdue him.Watching Jack rushing toward him, Adrian chuckled coldly and drew the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. A loud clash of metal echoed, followed by a dazzling flash of light. Adrian swiftly mo
Adrian skillfully avoided Frederick, who was meditating with crossed legs. Despite Frederick's claim that he was fine, everyone could tell from his expression that he was not in a good state. Even as the battle began, he had not recovered from his meditative state. The people from Blade's Reach did not expect Adrian to unleash such a powerful move. All their attacks missed, and when the sword energy around them dispersed, Adrian and Lyra had already left."Adrian! We will kill you!" someone exclaimed in grief and anger.After more than ten minutes passed, Frederick finally woke up from his meditative state. When he opened his eyes and saw the chaos before him, along with three more bodies, he instantly understood what had happened."What happened?!" Frederick roared, grabbing the neck of someone nearby. "It was Adrian. He escaped…" the person replied nervously.Frederick fell into silence. 'How he could possess such abilities? Could it be that his previous weakened state was an
The group of people smiled wickedly as they surrounded Adrian. "Adrian, oh, Adrian. We never thought we’d encounter you here," one of them said. Adrian's face sank as he watched Thalia and her group warily. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not tell how powerful they were. If they insisted on attacking him, he might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone protect Lyra. Meanwhile, Lyra clutched Adrian’s hand tightly and hid behind his back. Her face was pale with fear as she could tell that these individuals were not from the three villages. They gave off a different vibe, especially the girl leading them. Even though she was about the same age as Lyra, she emanated a presence that seemed almost monstrous."Can we talk this out? You can have Thalia's body, so let’s just go our separate ways," Adrian reluctantly proposed."Hahaha! How the tables have turned. I didn't expect someone as arrogant as you to beg for mercy." Thalia, possessed by the dark dragon, laughed.Af
If that happened, he would not be able to escape. 'I hope you won't let me down, Hellblade!' Adrian prayed in his heart.However, nothing happened after a long while. Adrian felt somewhat disappointed, just when he was about to step back, something shocking happened. A sharp and eerie ghostly scream suddenly pervaded the air. It was impossible to tell from which direction it came, but the sudden scream sent a chill down everyone's spine. The man standing before Adrian came to a halt and gazed at Adrian incredulously. After entering this world, he gained a big boost in his strength. He looked toward Thalia, who had assured him that they were the strongest here, but the events unfolding before him proved that Thalia had deceived him.Spurt!He coughed up blood and collapsed. It was only then that the wounds on his body became apparent to the others. Everything happened in an instant. Before the others could react, Adrian was already leading Lyra toward the opening the fallen man h
