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
The wind stirred gently as Adrian gazed into the distance. Unknown dangers still awaited them in this mysterious terrain.The soldiers exchanged glances, realizing that following Adrian this time had been an exceptionally wise decision. They saw in him a beacon of hope that inspired and empowered them.With such a presence leading them, the group felt a deep sense of confidence and joy.Adrian moved forward swiftly, and the soldiers followed closely behind.Within moments, they reached the heart of the mountain range.Before them stood an eerily quiet door. The surrounding area seemed devoid of life, intensifying the ominous atmosphere.Yet none of them believed the silence was genuine.After venturing this far into the mountains, how could such tranquility hide no threats?Suddenly, a deafening rumble shattered the stillness. The mountains began to quake violently, sending waves of panic through the group."Be careful!" Tyler shouted, stepping forward to shield the others.M
The violent power raged on, shaking the surroundings with relentless intensity.Adrian smiled faintly as he observed the scene. To him, this chaos was the perfect opportunity to train the soldiers.Their levels had advanced too quickly under his guidance.Adrian believed that honing their skills through battles with these beasts would stabilize their progress.The wild energy surged as the soldiers and beasts clashed in a frenzy of combat.Meanwhile, Adrian stood calmly on the sidelines, observing each soldier's fighting technique. Occasionally, he offered advice."Attack from the left. Adjust your approach," he instructed one soldier. Turning to Tyler, he added, "You're older, but your body is surprisingly agile. Use that to your advantage and move more fluidly."The soldiers found joy in Adrian's guidance. They fought with growing fervor, and their levels steadily improved amidst the chaos.To them, this was a rare and invaluable opportunity."Argh!" A soldier's agonized s
Adrian's soldiers hadn't expected him to act on his promise so quickly.While he had supported them with various resources in the past, this powerful body-strengthening technique was unlike anything they had ever encountered."Thank you, Sir Adrian!" they roared, their voices brimming with gratitude.An overwhelming surge of strength coursed through their bodies, igniting their spirits.To them, this technique was a priceless treasure. The raw power within it was undeniable, filling them with confidence and ambition to sharpen their skills and grow even stronger.Adrian watched with a faint smile. This was exactly the outcome he had envisioned. The stronger his soldiers became, the greater his advantage would be.As they immersed themselves in mastering the technique, their fervor grew.Adrian knew that true mastery required real combat. Only through the heat of battle could they unlock its full potential and advance at such an astonishing pace.While standing silently at the e
The Flame Beast stood stunned, unable to comprehend Adrian's sudden disappearance. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving the beast bewildered."Looking for me? Over here," a calm voice called out.At the same time, a radiant golden light erupted in midair, dazzling everyone with its brilliance.The soldiers watched in shock as Adrian materialized from the void and landed a devastating punch on the Flame Beast's massive body.The beast howled in pain. It hadn't expected the human emerging from the void to possess such overwhelming power.The Flame Beast swung its colossal claw toward Adrian, intent on avenging the painful blow.Adrian simply chuckled and taunted, "A beast will always be a beast. Seeking revenge? You still don't understand your place."Before the Flame Beast could retaliate, Adrian launched a powerful kick that sent its massive body crashing through the air.It hit the ground with a deafening impact, creating a massive crater.From a distance, the
By sheer coincidence, the Flame Beast had encountered a human in the Void Stage.What astonished it even more was how young the individual appeared. Such talent was beyond the beast's experience.Without hesitation, the Flame Beast turned to flee, its massive limbs carrying it away in desperation.Adrian had grown accustomed to such behavior from these beasts, who always chose to escape when outmatched. In that sense, they weren't much different from humans."I told you earlier—your flesh looks delicious. Why are you running?" Adrian's voice sliced through the air, his killing intent rising around him.The Flame Beast roared. Adrian's taunting words only fueled its anger. To the beast, this was an unforgivable insult. Adrian had gone too far.Even as it fled, the beast howled indignantly. Yet, it knew it was no match for Adrian. Continuing the fight would only lead to certain defeat.The beast's instinct screamed at it to escape.Adrian smirked, seeing through its thoughts."L
The metallic clash echoed through the air, heightening the onlookers' anticipation.They knew Adrian had yet to reveal his full strength. Even when fighting Fusion Stage beasts, he had held back, never tapping into his true potential.Now, facing both the Flame Beast and the sinister winds that assailed him from the shadows, Adrian remained calm and composed.He glanced into the distance with a faint smirk. "Heh, which cowardly fiend dares to hide in the dark? Too scared to show yourself? Fine. I'll start by cooking this beast. Its tattered flesh will be quite satisfying."Adrian then thrust the blood-red sword in his hand forward.The Flame Beast had no time to cry out before its massive body collapsed to the ground.The surrounding ancient trees were toppled in an instant.The beast's immense weight crushed everything in its path, leaving a scene of devastation that sent chills down the spines of the watching soldiers.The soldiers stood frozen, wide-eyed."So powerful!""U
With a wave of Adrian's hand, a massive pit appeared before him, followed by the reappearance of the large pot he had used to cook a beast earlier.He now began preparing the Flame Beast for a stew.The onlookers were dumbfounded. Only Adrian could pull off something so audacious. None of them had ever witnessed such an unprecedented sight.A Fusion Stage beast was a treasure trove, its body containing invaluable resources capable of greatly enhancing strength for anyone fortunate enough to acquire them. Yet Adrian had chosen to share this bounty with everyone.His act of generosity deeply moved the soldiers. Without Adrian, they would never have had the chance to savor such a delicacy.The meat of a Fusion Stage beast was typically reserved for public figures or royalty, but Adrian had made it available to them.Adrian smiled faintly as Tyler declared, "Sir Adrian, following you is the greatest blessing of our lives."Tyler's words echoed the sentiments of the other soldiers, w
