The outlanders had suffered the misfortune of Adrian thwarting the strategy they had taken years to plan. Close to ten thousand outlander adventurers had laid down their lives in Enigma City, including eight immortals. The impossible had happened. Immortals were supposed to be mighty beings high above mere mortals, yet these few were doomed to sleep within this city forever.Adrian had not expected things to go so well for him. He was now the only living being within Enigma City, and heaps of corpses surrounded him. The tower was now before his eyes, but he did not enter yet.‘That Rondonier leader had ordered the men not to enter the tower's second floor. They were only allowed to gather stones from the first floor. They must have some sort of intel, the kind that tells them how dangerous it is inside.’Adrian stood on the roof and looked toward the nineteen-story tower. More accurately, it was eighteen stories since the nineteenth was the Uduma Desert. He looked toward the eightee
“What?!" Revice asked back in shock. Enigma City was a secretive place with countless illusions, so it would not be the first time they had lost contact with their men. "Keep trying," he said. "Yes, sir.” Coldfang frowned and asked, "Should we send a few more men down there to have a look? What if something bad has happened?"Revice shook his head, concerned that something was off. "We've sent ten thousand men down there with all the weapons and ammunition they need, and they've got seven immortals with them. If something happened, we would’ve heard gunshots.“On top of that, those immortals are invincible. Enigma City frequently undergoes changes and fluctuations happen often in its magnetic fields. I think it's just an interference in the signals.”He then ordered, “Keep trying to reestablish radio contact. If we still can't get through to them in half an hour, we'll send more men down there to have a look.”"Yes, sir.”Several shouts were heard throughout the temporary
Bang!!! Revice and the others immediately spotted the flare. "We've got a signal! Pull up the baskets!" Revice yelled. The staff members quickly input a command into their laptops and the baskets were slowly raised by the chains. Revice and the others looked down in excitement. "Our men are safe. They must’ve found some great treasure and were working really hard earlier. And our signals must’ve gotten jammed," Coldfang said. Revice nodded. "We got not just the meteorites, but jewelry too. Gostia was known as one of the wealthiest countries, after all.” With a sinister expression, he continued, "The first thing we'll do once we obtain the meteorites is develop a virus that will wipe out all Novemtoners. We'll kill them all."Rondoniers despised Novemton to their very core and hoped to wipe them off the earth.The baskets had been raised high enough for them to make out."Hahaha, Novemton's doom has arrived. We'll kill all of them, then make the men our slaves and the women
Adrian rushed into the temporary base and slayed the staff members inside without hesitation."Attack!”"Get him!" The outlanders chased after Adrian in a maddened frenzy, but Adrian had already fled the base and entered the desert. Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Countless explosions came from the destroyed carrier planes, crackling as flames engulfed them. "Aaah!"The outlanders were in complete chaos and were like sitting ducks after losing their generals. A few of them tried to surround Adrian in a two-pronged attack, but the latter quickly disappeared into the desert. They panicked and chased after him, but they stepped on some landmines and were instantly blown into pieces.Half of the remaining outlanders died in the explosion. Some of them were sent flying by the shockwave while the lucky ones were left stupefied. And Adrian did not stop there. He stood up and fired off his guns once more. The outlanders yelled as they were toyed around with. Although they had the advantage i
The desert was dyed red by the time Adrian stopped moving. He calmly looked at the outlanders outside the base. His enemies had not expected their intricate plans to be undermined in an instant. At that moment, the outland organizations were in an uproar after realizing through their radar scans that their men had been wiped out.***Meanwhile, Novemton had been informed about what happened. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" someone yelled from inside the control room at headquarters. Crystal and the others, who were in the conference room, ran in and asked, "What's the matter?""Our radar shows there was a battle at the Uduma Desert. The outlanders' carrier planes have been blown apart and their forces within Enigma City have been wiped out.""What?! Did you manage to get a video of what happened?" "What could've possibly happened? The outlanders formed an alliance, so this shouldn't be possible. Who was it that killed them?" Huge wondered in confusion.Soon, a fragmented vid
"Unbelievable… How did he survive? He may have been able to get water in the city, but he couldn't have lived for more than ten days without food," Hugh said in wonder."His sudden appearance is shocking, but he probably left Enigma City a long time ago and has been hiding in the desert. Otherwise, there's no explaining how he could've come up with such a detailed plan."Crystal chewed on her fingernail. "Connect me to Wyvern Peak.”Jerome soon appeared on the screen. "Jerome, I'm sending you a video right now."After he watched the video, Crystal asked, "Is that your mentor?""Yes, it's him." Another wave of astonishment swept through the crowd. Confused, Crystal asked, "How did he survive in Enigma City? Is it possible he hasn't been there at all?"After a moment of silence, Jerome said, "I think he's been living in the city for over a month. He probably had to reveal himself due to inevitable reasons.""But how did he survive without any food?"Jerome pondered for a wh
The call ended, and the radar showed a few people swiftly headed for the Uduma Desert from various parts of the outlands. The events at Uduma Desert would affect the world's future, so there was no turning back now. Everyone was expecting something big to happen in the desert soon. ***Corpses of the outlanders laid all over the desert that afternoon. Adrian took off the Rondonier battle suit and headed into the temporary base. With the baskets raised, he needed to lower them down so that he could enter the eighteenth floor. He picked up a laptop and keyed in some commands, causing the baskets to slowly descend. He quickly jumped into the nearest basket and took a good look at the tower when he arrived. There was a platform that went around the entire floor, so he jumped onto it. Thud!Adrian caused a deafening noise upon landing.The dense fog dispersed, revealing a sunny sky. The Uduma Desert was no longer in sight upon entering Enigma City. It was as though Adrian had ent
He slowly entered and saw twenty-four zombie guards inside the room. They wielded large swords, leaning against the walls and facing the middle of the room.A transparent coffin sat in the center.'Enigma City turned into a graveyard,' Adrian thought as he looked at the coffin. He entered after making sure the zombie guards would not be triggered. Four of the zombie guards wearing battle suits stood at each corner of the coffin, kneeling before whoever was inside. Although unable to determine why, Adrian thought these zombies there were different from the ones around the city. They remained completely still though Adrian had approached them.Adrian took a look at the entire room and spotted two black stone tablets with carved drawings on it. ‘Those are Isle 416 meteorites. I knew the Gosts had something to do with all this.'Adrian knew about the meteorites more than anyone, which was why he was sure the ones he saw within the room were even more incredible than the ones from Isl
