Many of these dragons were possibly concealed within dragon realms. It was even possible that other formidable entities lurked within these dragon realms or similar relics akin to ancient tombs. If the two worlds indeed mirrored each other, such a scenario wasn't entirely implausible.‘Had I been too narrow-minded in my thinking? Maybe I haven’t reached the pinnacle of my world. Maybe there are still numerous formidable entities waiting to emerge.’Shaking his head, Adrian dismissed these unsettling thoughts, deeming the likelihood slim. Accepting such a possibility would render the world excessively terrifying, a notion he found difficult to reconcile.A few minutes later, Adrian successfully activated the cauldron. Similar to activating the Dragon Dial, activating the cauldron once he grasped the pattern proved to be a straightforward task. The patterns appeared to function as a sort of password, with only those who mastered them possessing the ability to activate the relic. Adria
Adrian detected the consciousness emanating from the small cauldron and grasped its purpose. "Spectral Snare… Is that your name?" he muttered, acknowledging the item’s name.The cauldron’s function had also become apparent—it served to suppress paranormal entities. Furthermore, this cauldron had been operational for many years. This suggested the presence of highly hazardous entities back within the ancient tomb. Were they restrained by the cauldron and other bronze items, in conjunction with the Divine Frost Slayer Blade? But he had long seized the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, while Brutus’s group had taken the cauldron.Adrian was taken aback. Could it be that the entities were emerging from that ancient tomb? Just as he was processing this shock, Alfie and the others entered the room, trailed by Brutus and his entourage."Mr. Adrian, there's a bit of trouble outside, and we need your assistance!" Alfie said urgently. Adrian observed the grim expressions of the group gathered at t
Adrian smiled faintly, his words instilling hope in Brutus and the others."Don't pay them any mind. They underestimate your strength," Brutus remarked, his admiration for Adrian evident after receiving a billion from him.As Adrian approached, the passengers on the lower deck grew even more agitated. Fortunately, the ship still had two Grandmaster-level crew members who adeptly managed the ordinary civilians. However, this situation couldn't be sustained indefinitely.One of the Grandmasters turned to Adrian. "We're all in this together. We won't say much more. You must be aware of the current situation, so we all hope you can explain."Adrian responded indifferently, "Explanation for what?"The other Grandmaster appeared annoyed. He shouted at Adrian, "You are the one who caused this situation! Since they're asking you to leave, you'd better depart this ship promptly!"Upon hearing his words, the crowd calmed down, regarding Adrian with indifference."That's right! This is all
"You all think I've caused trouble for you, but you fail to see that you’re the luckiest ones on this ship!" Adrian asserted. His cold gaze swept over the crowd, but no one dared to meet his eyes. His words prompted them to reflect on the situation.Was it truly as straightforward as they had assumed?The Grandmasters exchanged glances once more. Possessing a higher level of rationality compared to the passengers, they grasped the severity of the situation. Despite the ship being less than a day away from docking, a great deal could unfold within that time frame. Moreover, despite their efforts to consolidate the ship's defenses, casualties persisted. This indicated that the ghost wielded power far beyond that of ordinary Grandmasters. Even they were not entirely safe.Their gazes remained fixed on Adrian as they asked. "Do you have any evidence to support your claim?""No evidence is needed. The situation is just as I described," Adrian replied confidently, "I haven't left the shi
Even those in the lower deck could sense the turmoil from above. As if someone had leaked that there was no ghost in their area, some people began rushing toward the entrance of the lower deck, seeking refuge."What should we do now?" asked the Grandmasters."Let them in," Adrian said."But if we let them in, there will be chaos!" a crew member protested."If anyone dares to cause trouble, eliminate them on the spot!" Adrian declared, leaving everyone taken aback.Seeing their expressions, he quickly added, "Don't misunderstand. It's just a suggestion. If you can't handle it, I'll step in."Reluctantly, the crew and the Grandmasters opened the gates, allowing the people from above to flood into the lower deck. As over a hundred individuals from the upper decks poured in, their faces filled with panic became apparent."Why did you let them in? What if the ghost is among them?" someone angrily questioned."Exactly! The lower deck is ours. Why should those upper-class people get t
This situation caught the lower deck passengers off guard. They hadn't anticipated Adrian daring to threaten them in this manner.Someone lowered their head to gaze at the white sword energy wrapped around their neck, and shivers ran down their spine. Despite being lower deck passengers, they weren't ignorant; they were quite familiar with such threats. This group of people was nearly terrified out of their wits, and the previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down."How dare you… We're passengers of this ship too! You can't treat us like this!" someone said, their voice trembling.Another person added, "Hey Grandmasters, shouldn't you do something for the passengers when he's treating us like this?"At this point, they finally remembered that they were not the owners but passengers of this ship. But the two Grandmasters just shrugged. "Do you think the two of us are a match for him?" they asked matter-of-factly.In fact, they were powerless against Adrian. Even among Grandmaste
The current crisis had not completely subsided because the ghost was still wreaking havoc on the upper decks of the ship."Why aren't we going up now?" a Grandmaster asked."They kicked me down here, so I have to wait for them to invite me back up," Adrian replied.The Grandmaster nodded, and he and his companion respectfully stepped back. They had heard about Adrian's feat of leaving two deep cracks in the ship’s hull. Initially skeptical, witnessing Adrian envelop so many people with his sword energy solidified their belief. Adrian was a terrifying person far stronger than they had imagined.Under Adrian's guidance, the middle-deck passengers found a place to settle down. Meanwhile, the lower-deck passengers were thoroughly intimidated by Adrian's actions and dared not speak anymore. Consequently, the lower deck fell into an eerie silence.Adrian approached the middle-deck passengers and asked them, "What happened up there?"Someone, seeming calmer than the others, quickly resp
Upon seeing Anthony's reaction, Adrian understood what was on his mind. However, he remained silent."Um... Mr. Adrian, we've proven that the previous incident was just a misunderstanding. I hope you can come with me now to help deal with the ghost," Anthony whispered.Adrian sneered and shook his head. "Your voice is too low. I can't hear you."Anthony found himself speechless, feeling as though Adrian was blatantly attempting to humiliate him in front of everyone. Yet, amidst their exchange, people were perishing. With no alternative, Anthony had to raise his voice and reiterate his statement to Adrian.Another commotion swept through the crowd as they came to realize the truth in Adrian's earlier words. Adrian observed their reactions with a cold sneer; lying had never been his preference.After Anthony finished speaking, he awaited Adrian's response with anticipation. Meanwhile, the middle and lower deck passengers also directed their gazes toward Adrian. It dawned on them tha
