It was the Lunar Edge that worried him most. After getting up, he looked down at the long sword with a complicated expression. The sword was covered with various cracks as if it would completely shatter with just a little force."Adrian! I'll kill you!" Hansen turned around to look at Adrian who was walking out from the sword ray. His eyes were bloodshot. He originally did not want to be enemies with Adrian, but now that Adrian had damaged his most important weapon, his killing intent toward Adrian had soared to its peak.As Adrian walked out of the sword ray, he nodded slightly when he saw the situation around him. It seemed that Thalia and Emma were far away and probably not accidentally injured. As for the old man before him, seeing the former’s appearance, Adrian didn't quite understand what he was angry about."Hansen, you're quite old, but it seems you don't understand a certain truth," Adrian mocked.Hansen was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"Adrian
"What are you spacing out? Do you want to die?"Alistair and Fynn, who had fled, appeared by Hansen's side, each grabbing one of his arms and dragging him away.Adrian was not surprised when his attack had missed. After all, killing a level eight was not an easy task, not to mention that three of them acted together.After being dragged away, Hansen came around to his senses. Clutching to the hilt of the Lunar Edge, he stared at Adrian begrudgingly and shouted, "I'm going to kill you to avenge my fallen kin and my broken sword!"Adrian merely chuckled in response. Such behavior only consoled the weak, and Adrian never found solace in it."Stop your nonsense. Let's attack together and kill this guy!" Alistair said, his gaze turning icy as he observed the two or three hundred corpses littering the ground.Since the battle began, neither Adrian, Thalia, nor Emma had died. Yet, their combined villages had suffered over five hundred casualties. He currently did not care about capturin
"Hansen has lost his mind. As long as it's not the complete extinction of Blade's Reach, he's likely to want us dead," Emma said. Adrian nodded. He turned to look at the cave, only to find Sion and Jess had already disappeared. 'Had they died or had they gone deeper?' he thought."Did they enter the battle earlier?" Adrian asked.Thalia shook its head and replied, "No. I saw them enter deeper into the cave.""Then can you sense any movement from Lyra inside?" Adrian asked. He had already bought Lyra a lot of time for her to undergo metamorphosis, and now he was reaching his limit. Unfortunately, Thalia shook its head and answered, "I'm not sure. She's too far away from me. However, since they entered the cave, her metamorphosis might be nearing completion."Adrian shook his head and looked at the two thousand people ahead. "It's too late."They had been battling for a long time, and they were exhausted. However, there were still at least two thousand people from the three vill
The chiefs watched the battle coldly from the sidelines, intending to wear Adrian and his companions down before delivering the final blow. In their eyes, they could end their lives at any moment."Hmph! Finally, they're as good as dead." Fynn sneered."Is the ground shaking?" Hansen asked, his senses still sharp despite being overwhelmed by rage.The other two chuckled in response."Don't worry, it's just the effect of the battle. What else could it be?"However, Fynn froze in the next second and said, "No. It's not just the ground shaking. There's also some fire elemental energy spreading through the air!" As if realizing something, he continued in terror, “Impossible! How could the metamorphosis be completed so quickly?!""Come again?! The dragon completed its metamorphosis?!" Alistair shouted.Fynn turned to look at the cave where Adrian and the others were located, then shook his head. "We need to retreat.""Even if the metamorphosis is complete, what difference does it ma
Upon seeing Hansen and Fynn withdraw, Alistair's expression turned grim. They were only a step away from victory. Just a few minutes were needed for them to reap the battlefield and ensure Adrian's demise once and for all. However, these two cowards had decided to retreat."Idiots!" Alistair roared. After Blade's Reach left, he knew there was nothing he could do. Therefore, he summoned his villagers to leave the cave as well.Within a matter of minutes, the two thousand or so people from the three villages dispersed, leaving only Adrian's trio. Their bodies were entirely stained red with blood, and there were at least five hundred corpses strewn about the ground. Despite all three of them possessing strength surpassing ordinary level eight, their opponents were formidable as well. They were not just ordinary people who could be easily slaughtered, and it was a remarkable achievement for the three of them to have killed five hundred of them.Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. He turne
Thalia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "The blood of a Primordial Dragon is in that mirror?""Yes. In fact, creating a second form through the refraction of the dragon soul is just one of the mirror's capabilities. It's primarily employed for deception. Although the chances of it falling into someone else's hands were slim, it managed to serve its purpose in the end,” Lyra answered calmly.Thalia trembled uncontrollably after meeting Lyra's gaze. However, it was a different feeling. In the past, the fear it had for Lyra came from the innate suppression in its bloodline. However, the suppression seemed to have disappeared now. Instead, it was replaced by a raging desire for battle. Thalia forcibly suppressed its urge to charge at Lyra and asked, "So does this mean you've integrated the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon into your body?""Yes, that's correct. There's still a long way to go to complete the integration, but for me, this is the best choice. Successfully integ
Thalia curiously asked, "What do you mean?"Lyra had a puzzled expression, then answered, "I haven't gotten all my memories yet. I only know that the outside world is about to undergo a major upheaval, which is significant for both dragons and humans. Staying in a place like this serves no purpose. Only by going out can we become stronger.""But if getting stronger requires going outside, why don’t the three villages come to train in a place like this?" Thalia asked skeptically."I've already said, a massive change is about to happen to the world. It's just that you're unaware of it," Lyra said.Adrian pondered over Lyra’s words. He had heard similar claims from Siena. She too had mentioned that the world was on the brink of change, but neither Siena nor Lyra could provide more information about it."We should find the villages now. The Dragon Dial is still in their hands," Adrian said with determination after seeing the beasts. These beasts were more than enough to deal with thos
"Hmph! You say I don't understand, but you can't explain anything yourself," Thalia countered.As soon as she had finished speaking, the ground began to tremble violently and trees collapsed to the ground."They’re coming back?" Thalia exclaimed in astonishment.Lyra nodded. "I ordered the beasts to bring them back."As they watched the situation unfold in the distance, Adrian’s group relaxed. It was not an easy task for a group of two thousand people to run far enough in just a few minutes. On top of that, no matter how far they ran, Lyra could find them since she was the master of this world. She could even command the beasts to crush and tear them apart if necessary.The people from the three villages gathered together. The chiefs led the way, followed by tens of thousands of beasts. Each beast was at least level seven, and many even reached level eight. There were some terrifying beasts that the chiefs could not judge.Forced to fight and retreat, the chiefs slowly made their
