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
The Ancient Ram Beast's blood-red eyes gleamed with excitement as its massive claw descended toward Adrian, intent on crushing him.The soldiers, witnessing this, were filled with despair.Encased in lightning, Adrian seemed utterly defenseless. Even if he were a celestial deity, they believed there was no way he could survive such an assault.Under the beast's terrifying power, everything appeared irreversible.Adrian seemed moments away from being obliterated beyond recognition.The soldiers watched in horror, fully aware of how tragic Adrian's fate was.To be struck down at the critical moment of a breakthrough, without even a chance to succeed, was the cruelest twist of fate.Some soldiers, despite their injuries, began contemplating flight. They feared that once Adrian fell, the beast would turn its fury on them.If they didn't escape now, they knew they would meet the same end.As despair loomed, a calm voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield. "Thank you. I didn't e
Adrian's eyes were cold and sharp, his expression brimming with killing intent.He fixed his gaze on the colossal beast and declared, "Since you've come, it's time for you to be destroyed."A terrifying shockwave rippled throughout the area, shaking everything as if the very fabric of reality was being torn apart.The spectacle was breathtaking.Adrian unleashed a devastating punch.The clash was like a celestial collision—unstoppable forces meeting head-on, their energy scattering in all directions with deadly intent.The explosion of power reverberated across the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path.Adrian stood at the epicenter, radiating a terrifying aura.The once-dominant Ancient Ram Beast staggered backward under the force of Adrian's attack. Its blood-red eyes widened in disbelief as it stared at the human who, just moments ago, had seemed on the brink of death.The beast's fury ignited anew.It roared, its voice thundering through the skies, filled with
The scene was almost too incredible to believe.Adrian eyed the massive beast, his gaze sharp with disdain. "How's that? Feeling good? Oh, by the way, I promised my men we'd cook you up for a feast. Why don't you save me some effort and either self-destruct or lay down quietly?"He added mockingly, "I can be a bit impatient. If I hit too hard, your meat might not taste as good."As Adrian spoke, he strolled toward the beast with an air of nonchalance, his steps light, as though victory was already his. It was as if he had already decided that the beast was his to devour.The Ancient Ram Beast's massive body quakes at Adrian's words. It raised its claw and swung it toward Adrian with terrifying force.The impact reverberated through the air, shaking the ground.The soldiers watched in horror and awe, unable to fathom Adrian's strength. The beast, now fully enraged, was giving everything it had."Watch out, Sir Adrian!" Tyler called instinctively, his voice filled with concern.A
Adrian stood before them, exuding an aura so overwhelming it bordered on monstrous. His violent energy and terrifying presence surpassed what ordinary beings could endure.The devastating force he unleashed struck the beast's massive body, injuring it grievously in an instant.However, Adrian didn't stop there. With a flurry of punches and kicks, he continued his relentless assault, leaving the beast writhing in agony.The once-ferocious creature trembled violently, letting out two anguished roars before fleeing with all its might.Adrian watched the pitiful sight and chuckled lightly. "Alright, playtime's over. Time to feast."He glanced at the void and commanded, "I'll leave the blood, but make sure the meat is mine."As soon as the words left his mouth, his Soul Devouring Sword sprang to life, slicing through the air with alarming speed.The sword pierced the beast's body effortlessly. Before it could react, the creature collapsed lifelessly to the ground.To everyone's shoc
The beasts lurking in the area remained motionless, too cautious to act recklessly.Meanwhile, Adrian's soldiers concentrated on their recovery, gradually regaining their strength.As their wounds healed, their spirits lifted. They could sense their levels subtly improving, fueling their determination.Noticing their progress, Adrian smiled warmly and said, "Eat to your heart's content later. Finish everything, and I promise your strength will soar to new heights."His words struck a deep chord. Many soldiers felt tears welling up, overwhelmed by Adrian's kindness and generosity.They had spent their lives enduring harsh conditions, where such warmth was an unimaginable luxury.Unlike previous generals who treated them as expendable tools, Adrian's compassion resonated on a profoundly emotional level.One soldier stepped forward, his voice trembling with gratitude. "Thank you for your kindness, Sir Adrian."The others looked at Adrian with admiration and reverence.Even Tyler,
If Adrian could use this time to further enhance his strength, he would emerge even more powerful when the moment came for them to be transported out.Adrian's gaze turned icy and resolute. If the legend about the time limit was true, this outcome would indeed be favorable.For now, the group pressed on, seeking opportunities to grow stronger."Make the most of this time to improve yourselves," Adrian said. "After this conflict, when we return to the capital, the world will have undergone a tremendous upheaval."The group was at a loss for words. They hadn't expected such a proclamation from Adrian.Surprise flickered across their faces, but they knew better than to take his words lightly.With a faint smile, Adrian added, "Of course, there's no need to feel pressured. I simply believe that strengthening yourselves is the best path forward."The soldiers exchanged glances.Adrian's words clearly came from his concern for their well-being. They understood that this strange realm
