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
Thousands of years ago, the Gost emperor fell gravely ill and sent out his ten godkings to find him a cure. That was when a meteor fell from the sky, landing on an island far out in the great sea. One of the godkings found this meteor and reported it to the emperor.The emperor thought of this meteor as a gift from the gods to save him, so he sent his men to retrieve it and bring it back to Enigma City. That was when a Gost mage cracked its secrets.There was an image of the mage carved on the tablet. Upon closer inspection, Adrian could tell that the Gost emperor had favored this man.The mage proclaimed that the meteorite would be able to cure the emperor's illness. More importantly, he would be able to raise an army. The emperor believed this and allowed the mage to cure him with the worms from the meteorites. The mage also gave the emperor an undead army—zombie guards that were controlled by worms.Through this, the emperor was cured and received a powerful army. The citizens o
Nicholas managed to eliminate all of the worms inside of Gloria by neutralizing part of the Rejuvenation Elixir's effects, curing her completely.The Gost emperor became a being similar to Strider, gaining immeasurable strength. His new abilities caused him to become even more tyrannical. He was ready to give out orders to eliminate all other countries and conquer them now that he was a god.He then forced the princess to develop something called a Revenant Elixir. This elixir allowed its user to transform a living human into an undead by transcending death. This was how the Gost emperor brutally murdered large numbers of citizens and turned them into zombie guards.The Partingian princess tried to find a way to stop the tyrant emperor. Soon after, Dragonking, one of the ten godkings, could not stand the tyrant's ways and planned to eliminate him.With the princess' help, Dragonking went to a place where he found a way to neutralize the Gost emperor.He engaged the emperor in a bloo
The contents on the stone tablets seemed profound, but less so after the story was unraveled.The princess fell unconscious after exhausting her powers to seal away the emperor. The people then placed her inside this coffin in the hopes she would wake up one day. The tablet foretold that the Gost emperor would become a monster and cause a catastrophe if he was ever awakened. The seal placed on him would lose effect after a thousand and two hundred years when it becomes weak.That was when the emperor would awaken and kill everyone. 'Wait. He's going to wake up in a thousand and two hundred years? But that's this year!'Adrian took a deep breath. All of the information he gathered so far told him a powerful person would awaken and kill everyone. If the images were right, then it was about time for the Gost emperor to break out of the seal.Rumble!!!Right at that moment, Adrian felt the entire shake as though there was an earthquake. The magnitude was not great and quickly passed
‘But the statue here isn't of me. It’s of Dragonking.’ Adrian frowned, finally understanding what the images on the stone tablets meant. After Dragonking was murdered, the Partingian princess put his soul into the reincarnation cycle and prophesied that he would return to the tower to kill the Gost emperor. Now, after a thousand and two hundred years, Adrian arrived, and he looked exactly like the Dragonking of the past. All of this could not be a mere coincidence. He really was the person in the princess’ prophecy.Adrian took a deep breath, when suddenly…Rumble!!! The tower shook once more, and the gigantic chains around the Gost emperor rattled. Something seemed to be shaking the entire tower from below, and it was growing by the second. Adrian rushed out of the main hall and stood on the platform. He saw that something was about to come out from a crack in the ground. Swoosh!!! A glaringly bright light followed the emergence of a terrifying-looking ax. 'Is that the
