Suddenly, Adrian was struck by a terrifying force and lost control of his body."Damn it!"As Adrian lay unconscious, his final thought echoed in his mind. He had believed the space-time portal in front of him was just like any other.Who could have predicted how violent it truly was? It defied all reason.Now, Adrian was powerless to do anything.Time passed slowly.Eventually, he became aware of his surroundings. Pain coursed through his body, and he realized someone was lifting him.Adrian slowly opened his eyes, his bones crackling loudly."You're awake, Sir Adrian," Tyler called out.Adrian looked up sharply, noticing Tyler and the other soldiers watching him with concern."Huh?" Adrian's confusion grew.Looking around, he realized he was being carried on a stretcher. The soldiers' eyes filled with relief and joy as they gazed at him."What happened?" Adrian asked, puzzled.How were they all fine while he was gravely injured?"Sir Adrian, you saved our lives," Tyler
Hearing Adrian's words, Tyler was taken aback. It almost seemed like a passing of responsibility—something he hadn't anticipated from Adrian."General, as long as you are here, you are always our leader. I wouldn't dare overstep my boundaries," Tyler replied firmly, his demeanor one of a loyal subordinate.Adrian, however, responded calmly. "I need to rest for a while. Leadership is in your hands now. Stop hesitating and take charge—I need proper recovery time."Tyler sighed in resignation. "Yes, General. I will follow your orders."Nearby soldiers overheard the exchange and couldn't help but chuckle quietly. The dynamic between Adrian and Tyler was unexpectedly amusing.Adrian closed his eyes, trying to recover his strength.His entire body felt battered, as if it had endured severe injuries. The discomfort was overwhelming, a constant reminder of how perilous their journey had been.He shuddered at the thought of encountering that terrifying white light again.If it appeared
"What is that?" The soldiers were shaken to their core. Adrian had been right—a Fusion Stage beast was indeed approaching, and its presence was overwhelmingly terrifying.Violent gusts of wind tore through the area, as if ripping apart the fabrics of space.Desperation took hold as the soldiers carried Adrian, running frantically toward safety.Tyler, maintaining a sliver of composure, scanned the surroundings. "There's a cave up ahead. No signs of any beasts nearby. We can take shelter there."The soldiers raised their heads. Several kilometers away, partially obscured by a towering ancient tree, they spotted a cave.It was an astonishing discovery—a glimmer of hope amidst their dire predicament.Tyler's keen eyes left the group momentarily stunned. To spot a cave at such a distance was impressive, a testament to his sharp observation skills.Without hesitation, the soldiers moved swiftly toward the cave, carrying Adrian at an incredible speed.Adrian noticed the cave as the
Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the Thunder Beast outside, fully aware of the gravity of their situation. One wrong move, and the beast's attack would claim their lives.Adrian watched the scene with a sharp gaze before closing his eyes to focus on restoring his strength. He understood better than anyone that survival in this treacherous land required absolute power. Without it, only death awaited.The Thunder Beast's frenzied energy continued to wreak havoc.Unable to locate its target, the creature grew increasingly enraged, behaving like a wild animal that had lost its sense of direction.Its blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings, but no matter how hard it searched, it couldn't detect the hidden cave.The formation around the cave rendered it invisible to the beast.The already frustrated beast had no way of finding the cave, further fueling its maddened state.Inside the cave, Tyler and the soldiers surrounded Adrian, patiently waiting for him to recover.They all knew
Tyler's eyes hardened. "This is bad! That's an Ancient Ram Beast, a pinnacle Fusion Stage creature. It's a vicious monster, known for its horns, which can unleash devastating lightning attacks."The soldiers immediately panicked. The beast's terrifying reputation left them stunned and fearful.As the Ancient Ram Beast charged toward them, Tyler glanced at Adrian, his face showing a trace of helplessness."Sir Adrian is still training. We must protect him at all costs—no matter what happens, we cannot let him come to harm."Upon hearing this, the soldiers exchanged uneasy glances.They knew there was no choice. If they didn't act now, the consequences would be unimaginable.Tyler's eyes blazed with fury and determination as he turned toward the advancing beast.The soldiers quickly surrounded Adrian, forming a protective barrier around him. Their mission was clear: shield him from harm, no matter the cost.Their resolve was unwavering. They could not afford to let anything happe
The soldiers struggled to hold their ground against the Ancient Ram Beast's relentless assault.Each devastating blow sent shockwaves through their ranks, leaving many of them coughing up blood.Blood spattered as the soldiers fought to withstand the beast's overwhelming might. Its strength surpassed anything they had ever encountered, and despair crept into their eyes.They knew they couldn't hold out much longer, but retreating wasn't an option.The only path forward was to endure, even if it meant clinging to the slimmest thread of hope. For now, all their hopes rested on Adrian.Adrian, however, was still immersed in his training.Waves of violent energy surrounded his body as he pushed toward a breakthrough. He couldn't afford to be disturbed—not now, not when he was so close.The Ancient Ram Beast's rampaging energy shook the ground. The air itself seemed to ripple under its power, an oppressive force that felt impossible to withstand.Unbeknownst to the others, Adrian's
It felt as though everything was crumbling into chaos.Tyler's heart sank as he surveyed the dire situation. He knew everyone was doing their best, but the beast outside was far too powerful—beyond what ordinary people could endure."Hold the line! We must hold out until Sir Adrian awakens! Only then will we have a sliver of hope for survival!" Tyler roared, his voice laced with urgency. "Do you want to die?!"His eyes burned with determination.As a seasoned general, Tyler understood the stakes. If Adrian couldn't complete his breakthrough, their fate would be sealed. Death would be inevitable.Facing a pinnacle Fusion Stage beast was a challenge few could withstand. Their misfortune in disturbing the beast's den had only compounded their predicament, leaving them with no choice but to fight or die.The soldiers' faces were etched with despair, but they had no alternative.Adrian remained in the midst of his breakthrough, his body trembling as violent energy coursed through eve
The violent energy surged and shook the surroundings as the soldiers braced themselves for the onslaught.The Ancient Ram Beast's massive tail whipped through the air, crashing into them with brutal force.The sound of breaking bones echoed as several soldiers were struck down.Tyler took the brunt of the blow, sent tumbling aside, his face bruised and battered.His body, unable to withstand the force of the attack, lay severely injured. Breath weak, he sprawled on the ground—a picture of utter defeat.Meanwhile, Adrian remained deep in his training, oblivious to the chaos around him.The soldiers could only watch helplessly, their hope hanging by a thread.Those who had been knocked down struggled to rise but found themselves powerless. Their bodies refused to obey.Death loomed over them. Without Adrian breaking through, survival seemed impossible.Even if Adrian awakened, they feared he would not be strong enough to defeat the beast.A Fusion Stage creature was a level abo
