Orders from above could come at any time, commanding them to take action against Adrian."Why are they all staring at us like that?" Thalia asked anxiously.In just one day, the attitude of the people from the three villages toward them had changed, making Thalia anxious."I fought with the three chiefs yesterday. Otherwise, did you think you could leave so casually and come back?" Adrian said casually.Thalia's expression turned grim as it turned to look at Adrian. Its gaze was like that of someone looking at a lunatic."Is it worth it for that dragon?" Thalia asked incredulously.Adrian chuckled but did not answer.Lyra had provided him with a lot of help, and Adrian hoped to help her as much as he could. This repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge was something he felt Thalia, or rather the mysterious dark dragon, didn’t understand.Seeing Adrian bring Thalia back, the three chiefs, who had moved to another building, stared at the pair although they did not
Upon hearing his words, Adrian nodded slightly. He had indeed infringed upon the interests of others after all. What was crucial right now was to stall for time, not engage in a life-or-death struggle with the other party. Such a situation was something he didn't want to see.So, he turned to Thalia and smiled, saying indifferently, "Perhaps I have a way to help repair its dragon soul."Thalia's eyes widened. When it set off for the secret realm, it had prepared for the worst. It was just taking its chances, and being able to come back from there with half its life intact was already a good result. But Adrian said he could help it repair its dragon soul.Thalia couldn’t believe him, but...who knew? After all, Adrian was always someone who could work miracles.As for Alistair and the others, they were equally shocked after hearing this.Fynn sneered disdainfully. "If repairing a dragon soul were so easy, would Alistair be so angry?"Adrian retorted in an even more contemptuous ton
“Adrian seems to have a close relationship with the crimson dragon, or perhaps he also has his eyes on it. He probably won't reveal the secret of the crimson dragon so easily." Fynn shook his head."If he refuses to talk, then we'll find it ourselves," Hansen said. Although he didn't want to antagonize Adrian, that true dragon was very important to him. He wasn’t about to give up such a rare opportunity because of Adrian's opinions."Give him three days. If he still refuses to talk after then, we'll give up on the idea of cooperating with him," Alistair said in a gloomy tone.Hansen hesitated for a moment but then nodded heavily. Although Adrian had unlimited potential, it was optional to cooperate with him. The premise of cooperation was not to harm each other’s interests. What they had to do after leaving was too important, and they couldn't allow Adrian to hinder their plans.As Adrian led Thalia into the building, Thalia suddenly grabbed his shirt sleeve, looking very nervous a
Emma didn’t answer.Adrian laughed. "So, you're just a poor soul abandoned by Alistair," he commented.Emma suddenly drew the sword at her waist and coldly said, "Enough nonsense! Even if I die, I will take you down with me!""Hehe, you can't even kill me in your dreams." Adrian shook his head, and there was a conspiratorial glint in his eyes.He had wanted to use this opportunity to repair Thalia's dragon soul to help Lyra stall for time. However, when he saw Emma, he thought of another plan."Your situation is the same as the dark dragon’s. It was torn and devoured by other spirits, while you got burned. Both of your souls disappeared, so it's impossible to repair them with your current strength," Adrian said."That has nothing to do with you," Emma said coldly.Adrian chuckled and shook his head. "Don't you want to restore your strength?"The light in Emma's eyes flickered as she stared at Adrian.Thalia cast a pitying glance at Emma and sighed. This girl was indeed pitiful
Josef wasn't Emma’s biological brother, but they had grown up together since they were kids. He relied heavily on her, and she was accustomed to having a shadow around her. Calling them siblings wouldn’t be an exaggeration.But Josef had died during the battle. What was even more crucial was that his death was unjust. If he had fought and died for his village and his people, his death wouldn't have seemed so meaningless but the battle, although intense, failed to produce any meaningful results. It seemed like all those who died had died in vain, and this included Josef.For the three chiefs, the battle was merely a matter of words from beginning to end. But for many others, it meant life and death. Although it had been like this for more than two hundred years, was this right? Emma's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and when Adrian saw her expression, he knew his words had struck a nerve. He believed Emma could come to understand. The existence of these three villages was a
Adrian speculated that the Hellblade was from another world. It had similarities with the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, but also stark differences. The eerie and sinister aura it carried was its biggest difference from the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. There was no doubt that there was a spirit in the Hellblade. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been constantly at odds with the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, even making the Divine Frost Slayer Blade powerless against it.However, the growth of that spirit was probably not as advanced as the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. It seemed a bit unpolished, but that didn't matter. Adrian's current idea was to use the slaughter aura and demonic aura on the two blades to reshape Thalia’s dragon soul. This was not a simple process, and success or failure were both possible. Of course, Adrian's main goal was to use this matter to buy time. If he could help Thalia regain its strength, that would naturally be very beneficial to him. Perhaps it would even be an unexpect
After carefully observing for a while, Emma found that Adrian was genuinely repairing the dragon soul. She did not know how she was doing this, but since they weren’t doing anything suspicious, she just watched them."How could this be?" Thalia muttered in disbelief.Other than the Mighty Net, Thalia also sensed two terrifying energies in its dragon soul. They were altering its dragon soul."No! You can't do this!" Thalia shouted when she realized that something was wrong.Although Adrian had mentioned earlier that Thalia had no say in the current situation, it still felt a deep sense of crisis. Acting on instinct, it stood up from the mat and ran to the side.Thalia ran toward Emma, wanting to tell Emma what Adrian was doing to it. It wanted Emma to find Alistair so that he would intervene and stop Adrian. But as soon as she caught sight of Adrian's gaze and the pair of swords in his hands, Thalia froze."What's happening?" Emma asked sternly.Thalia gulped nervously and said,
"A deal?" Emma was puzzled.Adrian continued, "Here's the deal. I'll help you regain your strength and get you out of this place. In return—”"Don't agree with him! He's using you!" Thalia interrupted.Clank!Adrian swung his sword, creating a deep mark on the ground near Thalia's feet. "It seems you really have a death wish." He sneered.While Emma was still processing the situation, Adrian continued, "Think about it. The reason Thalia refuses is that it doesn't want to give up its pure dragon identity. But you? You're currently just a useless person. What else do you have to consider?""You'll help me regain my power and get me out of here? What’s the outside world like?" Emma asked.Adrian chuckled. He knew that Emma would accept the deal. Thalia knew Emma would agree to Adrian's proposal too. However, it would rather die than let Adrian use those two auras to alter its soul. Therefore, it turned and ran. Adrian did not stop it, but someone else did."Let go of me!" Thal
