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
Everything happened so fast. Adrian was thrown out of the main hall by a chilling murderous intent before he could even react. A few beams of light emerged from within Dragonking’s statue. They looked like the final remnants of the emperor’s shackles. With the power now gone, the statue crumbled to nothingness. Adrian was sent flying and landed on the princess' coffin with a loud thud. He coughed up a mouthful of blood from the impact. He never expected the emperor to be capable of releasing such a devastating shockwave.A chilling aura filled the entire main hall, amassing endless amounts of incredible energy. And all that energy rose to the sky. "My subjects, I sense the blood of an outsider." The emperor detected Adrian's presence the moment the latter was sent flying. His expression turned so cold it looked like he could freeze anything with just his gaze. The godkings stood up when they heard this, stiffly heading toward Adrian. Although they were already dead, they fol
Although she too was now an immortal, the presence coming from Enigma City was ridiculously strong.Strider said, "That's not something an ordinary person is capable of unleashing. This aura feels more like that of a death reaper. It’s definitely an enemy.""I wonder how Adrian's doing. I can't sense him at all," Sage said. "In any case, we should be on our guard," Mya said. "Understood.”"Mya, if something happens when we get there, you should leave the fight to us while you find War Legate Draco,” Sage said out of concern for Adrian's wellbeing. "Okay.”The four of them sprinted toward the center of the Uduma Desert. ***The chilling murderous intent was being unleashed from the eighteenth floor. The godkings were heading toward the Partingian princess' room in search of the outsider their emperor had detected. Adrian knew he would not be able to avoid them forever, so he stood up from behind the coffin with a dagger in hand, ready to face his enemies.The godkings quic
The emperor was instantly infuriated and unleashed all the murderous intent he had in him.Boom!!! The tower shook.The emperor stood up and walked toward Adrian."One thousand two hundred years?! You and that woman sealed me away for that long?!"That's right, I remember now. That woman said you'd be reincarnated after that many years and come back here to kill me.“I see… So you're that traitor from all those years ago!" The emperor’s anger rose by the second, and Adrian felt more pressure weighing down on him with every step the emperor took. He felt like his innards were being crushed. When he was unable to withstand the emperor's presence any longer, he shuddered and coughed up blood. Ack!!! Adrian fell to one knee. He would probably be on all fours if he had not forced himself to stay up. The emperor coldly said, "I gave you a thousand two hundred years to grow, yet this is what you've become. You used to be one of my godkings. I'm disappointed in you.”Bam!!! T
