Numerous forces surged forward, sweeping away the bats. Yet, despite his efforts, Adrian noticed an increasing number of bats converging toward their location in the field. Witnessing this, Adrian felt a slight chill."You think that'll work on me?" Adrian remained undaunted as his power surged forth.As he spoke, Adrian suddenly felt a mysterious force infiltrating his body. His heart skipped a beat, sensing that he was being hurt. His movements became sluggish, filling Adrian with a sense of unease."Damn it!" Adrian realized that Biran had poisoned him.The numerous bats, each incredibly powerful, were venomous, capable of poisoning their target while they were distracted. Brian intended to exploit this method to kill Adrian.Seeing Adrian frown, Brian seemed pleased, bursting into wild laughter. "Hahaha! Kid, do you finally understand my power? And now, it's time for my counterattack!"Brian grew arrogant, blatantly underestimating Adrian. His sole purpose was to eliminate Ad
"Damn it..."The Mulfords and the Shermans were awestruck by this unstoppable power. Despite their fury, they refused to concede defeat. After all the effort they had invested, surrendering now would render everything in vain."Die!"They bellowed, surging forward with boundless power. Instantly, a bloody aura erupted. Within the crimson mist, the entire Dragon Realm trembled violently. Even Adrian sensed it. A potent aura emanated from an unknown source, swiftly spreading across the entire area."What the..."Adrian immediately sensed that something was amiss. He gazed skyward, discerning the issue at hand. Turbulent clouds churned above the dome, their blood-red hue hinting at the contained boundless bloody aura. Within this aura, a colossal figure resembling a dragon loomed ominously."I-It’s the Nine Dragon Spirits!" Adrian exclaimed.Being in this place meant he had to remain vigilant against the emergence of the Nine Dragon Spirits. However, they had never manifested until
Around the dragon phantom, an endless sea of attacks ensued. While they appeared fierce, Adrian effortlessly devoured and absorbed them as they neared him."Rrraaagh!" The dragon phantom churned amid the clouds and mist.Suddenly, the phantom opened its maw and launched a ferocious attack at Adrian. This assault, several times stronger than Adrian's, unleashed a terrifying beam of light that tore through space before crashing heavily onto Adrian."Mr. Adrian!" Lamar shouted.Without hesitation, Lamar hurled his weapon into the sky, where it exploded and transformed into a beam of light poised to envelop Adrian. However, the beam of light proved unable to withstand the opponent's ferocious attacks and was promptly shattered.Adrian was swiftly overwhelmed by the opponent's onslaught, yet Lamar remained undeterred. Recognizing the futility of his attack, he prepared to soar into the sky to rush to Adrian's aid. But at that moment, Frosch and a few others quickly intervened to stop L
"Tell us!"Everyone was intrigued. Adrian paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then proceeded to explain the situation. While enduring the opponent's attacks earlier, he had been quietly observing the opponent's condition. He sensed that the individual's body contained a formidable dragon power. Therefore, he inferred that the dragon phantom should be one of the dragon souls among the Nine Dragon Spirits.Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. If only one dragon soul possessed such terrifying power, then how formidable would the combined power of the nine dragons be? Everyone fell silent for a while."But I still have doubts. If that was a dragon soul, why didn't it annihilate us? Instead, it left," Lamar wondered aloud.In fact, everyone was confused by this. They were puzzled about the actions of the dragon soul, not understanding why it behaved in such a manner."Perhaps because its strength isn’t complete," Adrian analyzed, "During our fight, I realized that the
After experiencing such a terrifying battle, everyone was tired. It was time to rest. However, Adrian and the others couldn't let go of their grudges, especially Adrian.While Alfie was resting, Adrian sought him out and said, "I have something I want to ask you, Alfie.""What is it?”"I want to know what happened to you after you fell into the Dragon Realm."Alfie answered without hesitation. He told Adrian that upon entering the Dragon Realm, his group got scattered. Fortunately, since they had been marching in formation before, they didn't stray too far apart. Apart from two apprentices who tragically died due to their inadequate training, everyone else remained unharmed.Eventually, they managed to regroup. Once they were together, they began searching for Adrian. They found some markings on the ground, assuming they were left by Adrian. However, this led them into an ambush by the Shermans.Observing their well-trained demeanor, the Shermans captured them, intending to sacri
Seeing Lamar calm down, Frosch stepped forward slowly. While he didn't allow Lamar to take the lead, he himself moved forward with determination.Upon witnessing this, Alfie exclaimed, "Mr. Frosch!"But Frosch ignored him and pushed open the door.Creak…Although there were many people outside the door, these people understood they were facing the formidable Frosch. When the door opened, they all became more alert."Where's Alfie? Why isn't he coming out? Is he scared of us?" the leader of the group sneered."What's there to be afraid of? Do you think I'm scared of you?" a voice said as a figure emerged from the distance.The one who spoke wasn't Frosch, but Alfie. He looked heroic, and his sharp purple-gold spear emitted a terrifying gleam. His gaze was piercingly sharp.As Alfie's mocking words rang out, the black-clothed man scowled, his expression turning cold. "You’re finally showing yourself! You’re dead meat!""We’ll see who’s the last one standing today," Alfie retorte
This time, Alfie went straight for the black-clothed leader. In theory, Alfie's strength far surpassed that of his opponent. With such a fierce attack, he didn't give the black-clothed man a chance to resist.However, at that moment, the black-clothed man merely smirked. "Stand down."Instantly, Alfie's body softened, and he collapsed to the ground, his strength vanishing in an instant. Alfie couldn't believe it. "H-How is this possible?" He attempted to rise but found himself unable to move."Alfie!" Lamar, seeing his friend in danger, leaped forward to rescue him. However, he weakened too and fell beside Alfie.Next, it was Frosch and the others... All of them collapsed, gasping for breath. Everyone looked at the black-clothed man and saw his eerie smile."You... You’re behind this!" Alfie managed to utter.The black-clothed man sneered and approached Alfie. "I thought you were quite capable. Heh, you're so arrogant. I want to see how a bird with broken wings can fly!" He inten
Adrian didn't even need his sword to deal with the black-clothed man.The black-clothed man struggled to get up, coughing up blood several times. But even so, he refused to yield. "Hmph, it doesn't matter if I perish here today. You're all doomed anyway!"With that declaration, an urgent rush of footsteps came from afar. Undoubtedly, more enemies were coming."Let's retreat!" Adrian declared without hesitation.Considering their numerical disadvantage, lingering would only exacerbate their perilous situation. Frosch and the others voiced no objections. At this juncture, they had to prioritize the bigger picture. Where there was life, there was hope. As long as they remained alive, a day would come when they could rise again."Follow this road eastward. There's a forest thirty miles ahead. We'll meet there before dawn!" Adrian instructed.Alfie sensed something was amiss. "Before dawn? What are you planning, Mr. Adrian? Aren't you coming with us?"Adrian didn't conceal his intent
