‘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
“There’s more than one person who can end you!"Swoosh!!! Enveloped in light, Strider and Remy descended from the hole like a pair of gods. Sage whizzed through the air and caught Adrian. Strider and Remy landed on the platform and faced the emperor with cold gazes, a natural reaction considering everything that was happening. "Take care of him, Mya." Carrying the heavily wounded Adrian, Sage jumped down from the platform to hand him to Mya. She then leaped back up and faced the enemy with her comrades. The emperor had not expected more people to show up. He gazed at the three of them and was shocked when he saw Strider."Who are you? Why do I sense the same aura as mine coming from you?" The emperor felt Strider was the same as himself as they had both mutated under the effects of the meteorites."I never expected there to be another person like me. You can’t be allowed to live." The emperor clenched his ax and swung a heavy strike. Remy, Strider, and Sage gripped their
Slash, slash, slash! Countless of Remy’s attacks hit the emperor. Sage and Strider, swords drawn, were also closing in on him.Boom! A huge shockwave spread out, causing the tower to quake and pushing the princess' room and the main hall to the brink of destruction. The trio attacked at the same time, but none of their attacks seemed to have any effect.They could not even damage the emperor's armor!"You vermin think you can hurt me? I'm going to crush you!"Boom!The emperor suddenly exuded a light beam so powerful that seemed capable of demolishing the entire tower. The black light enveloped the emperor, and his ax unleashed a terrifying murderous intent.What happened next was a catastrophic phenomenon!The zombies within Enigma City sensed their emperor's calling and started running toward the tower base, gathering in the thousands.Boom!!! The emperor's threatening aura burst out, sending Sage flying, followed by Strider and Remy. The tower trembled from top to bott
“Where do you think you're going?" the emperor growled and chased after them.Boom, boom, boom!!! As explosions went off, a sandstorm blew up in the eerily quiet Uduma Desert. The earth shook, followed by the three figures speeding off in different directions upon emerging from the ground. When the emperor appeared, the trio surrounded him. They were going to eliminate the thousand-year-old monster right here! ***The outlanders were also alerted to the events taking place in the Uduma Desert.In the meantime, Novemton headquarters was watching through their radars. The radars caught everything as Strider and the others appeared in the desert. This was followed by a huge surge of power."Your Majesty, a monster has appeared in the desert. Sir Strider and the others are fighting it right now. Looks like the monster is a hostile unit."Crystal watched the video feed quietly. The video zoomed in, showing a menacing-looking man over four meters tall, dressed in armor and wieldin
Jerome explained the situation, stating that intelligence was key. The others fell silent upon hearing this.Although the trio was currently facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the ones on Jerome’s side could not provide them with any assistance. The outlanders were keeping close tabs on the Uduma Desert. If Jerome were to lead his men there, Remy would lose their strongest shield. More importantly, the outlanders would take that chance to invade Novemton. Jerome instructed, "Sylvia, send out a warning that no outland organization is to step one foot in the desert. Any who refuse to heed our warning will receive a lesson they’ll remember forever." Sylvia nodded. "Right away, sir." "The rest of you, man your stations and remain on standby," Jerome added.Since the events at Enigma City, Jerome had gradually come to look at Adrian in a new light. With Adrian around, he believed that everything was under control. He believed that there would be unexpected changes before the
