Haris was taken aback when he saw Adrian's attack. He had a deep impression of the Inferno Purgatory. It was this move that told him that Adrian’s weapons were top-notch treasures.As someone from Blade's Reach, Haris had been around weapons since childhood, particularly swords. Adrian's Divine Frost Slayer Blade was the most enigmatic weapon he had ever encountered. It seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, making it extraordinarily mysterious. As for the Hellblade, he deduced from his clashes with Adrian that it was an exceptionally rare and valuable weapon.Seeing Adrian unleash this powerful attack once again, Haris realized that he had underestimated Adrian. The fact that Adrian could reproduce such a terrifying assault after a brief interval suggested that his true strength surpassed that of a level seven.However, this realization brought a sense of relief to Haris. He would feel humiliated if he were defeated by someone much weaker than himself. Knowing that Adrian wa
"I know you're at your limit too," Adrian said. Haris chuckled and continued running. He had formulated a plan. When Adrian was exhausted, he would turn the tables and kill him. He also intended to bring Adrian's head back to Blade's Reach. After all the losses they had suffered, Haris felt compelled to justify himself to the elders, villagers, and chief.Adrian was waiting for Haris to exhaust his energy as well. Unfortunately, fate often defied one's desires. Both of their wishes were about to be thwarted.Unknown to them, the magma pool at the end of the passage suddenly trembled, and a surge of scorching heat erupted from it with unimaginable speed and intensity. The blistering heat rushed through the passage, reaching Adrian and Haris within seconds. Neither of them could do anything and were blown away by the heat wave.After a while, they found themselves expelled from the passage and into the sky outside. As they both adjusted to the brightness, Adrian seized the opportuni
Mocking and vulgar words entered Adrian's ears, but he was well aware that it was all part of Haris' tactics. As someone who had traversed battlefields for countless years, Adrian had encountered every conceivable tactic. He deeply understood a fundamental truth—the higher the level of combat, the less room there was for any margin of error.Adrian and Haris were formidable seventh levels, and any mistake in battles at this level could lead to consequences similar to those who had met their demise at Adrian's hands earlier."I know what you're thinking, so there's no need to waste your efforts. I won't be provoked by you," Adrian said as he increased the strength in his hands.After the toll on his energy and the earlier surprise attack, Haris was now at his wit's end. Just when Adrian was about to launch his final attack, a horrifying dragon’s roar suddenly echoed from the cave they had emerged from.Adrian was certain he had not misheard. After all, he had come across true dragon
However, the last batch of bats to come out of the tunnel fell from the sky and died. Their bodies were smoking as if an invisible force had knocked them out of the sky. Haris knew now was the perfect time to run. He turned and sprinted in the opposite direction of the cave. Right now, he had no thoughts of capturing or killing Adrian. He just wanted to stay alive. Meanwhile, Adrian was observing the commotion within the cave. He had a hunch that something terrifying would emerge soon. Despite his momentary hesitation, he sighed and dismissed the thought of fleeing. The last time he ran away was because he wanted to get rid of his enemies, but it was different now. Running away might mean losing the opportunity to find Lyra. So, he stood still, waiting for the ominous presence lurking within the tunnel.Meanwhile, Haris had run over a kilometer. He glanced back and sneered. "What a fool. If he doesn't run now, he might not have the chance later." He then continued to flee. Despite
"Hah! A blessing in disguise? Are you just going to stand by and watch your daughter die?" Jess demanded, then retreated into their house.The dragon's roar had stirred everyone in the vicinity. Meanwhile, Adrian turned to look at the tunnel and then at the red figure. He slowly regained his composure. It seemed that the red figure had no intention of harming him and was heading straight for Haris.Even though Haris had sprinted over a kilometer away, the red figure's speed far surpassed that of an ordinary person. It moved like a streak of light, catching up with Haris within seconds.Haris felt a chill down his spine and instinctively turned to look. The sight before him was the most terrifying he had ever experienced. There was a red dragon behind him, and it gracefully glided through the air, quickly approaching him. When he turned his head to look behind him, the dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of red flames.Haris hastily altered his course to evade the attack
The dragon’s roar echoed through the sky, and the dancing flames scattered in the air. As the Fire Wall enveloped Haris, he knew everything was over. The flames consumed him, leaving nothing behind. When Adrian arrived and saw the crimson creature floating in the air, he looked astonished. It was not his first encounter with such creatures and he had slaughtered real dragons in other places. After arriving here, he had also come into contact with the Dark Dragon within Thalia. However, this was the first time he had seen a real dragon in this world. Moreover, the real dragon was none other than Lyra, who he thought was dead."Lyra?" Adrian called out.The crimson dragon turned around. She appeared to be a real dragon, but her stature was petite, resembling that of a young dragon."Adrian, how did I become like this?" Lyra's voice came from within the dragon."I... How would I know?" Adrian said.Although he had long known that something Lyra was peculiar as she was unable to hea
After a few minutes, they arrived at the scene. However, they found nothing other than the lingering flames in the air."What happened here, chief?" someone asked.Sion turned to look at Fynn, but he remained silent. Fynn frowned and pondered for a moment. After that, he shifted his gaze from the air to a blank spot on the ground. The place was covered with fallen branches and leaves, but this particular spot stood out. He speculated that the young dragon might be injured. Judging by its size, it was evident that the dragon was not yet fully grown.'This is exactly like what the prophecy stated! It's a young true dragon, and I might be able to control it!' The excitement in Fynn’s eyes became apparent as he contemplated this.As Sion turned around, he caught sight of Fynn’s expression. He sighed inwardly but there was nothing he could do about it."It's a true dragon. Search the surroundings for its traces and inform me immediately if you find anything!" Fynn ordered."A true dra
“Lyra's blood is a natural repellent against wild beasts. It's more than enough to repel them. I've been trying for more than ten years to prevent her from appearing too extraordinary and attracting unnecessary attention," Sion explained, "Unfortunately, due to various coincidences, she discovered this place and completed her awakening.""Where does her bloodline come from?" Adrian asked."We're dragons, and this secret realm rightfully belongs to us. However, it was occupied by outsiders. Our ancestors aimed to reclaim it, but over time, my goal shifted from restoring the glory of the dragons to putting an end to everything.""Put an end to everything?""I want Lyra to leave this place," Sion said in a grave tone, "There's no time to explain right now. Chief Fynn has sensed the situation here. I'll hold them off. You have to put Lyra back into the magma pool."Adrian nodded and hurried on. In the tunnel's depths, darkness dominated, illuminated only by faint sparks. Even though h
