Chapter 2617

Author: Celestial Clouds
Seeing their expressions, Delirus said, "Fine, I’ll tell you since you’re so curious. This person is none other than Adrian, who recently made a name for himself on Monster Slayer Island.”

"Adrian? I've heard of him before,” someone piped up.

Most had heard about the things that happened on Monster Slayer Island over the last few days. Many harbored resentment toward Adrian, and Delirus was one of them. In his eyes, Adrian was an intruder from the outside world, someone who had no right to control the first divine artifact of Monster Slayer Island. Therefore, he held a disdainful attitude toward Adrian. But to his surprise, the majority of those present admired Adrian.

"He freed Monster Slayer Island. Why would you have a conflict with him, Mr. Delirus?"

"That's right. Adrian is a hero,”

Delirus glared at them and said harshly, "What are you guys talking about? How could you think of him as a hero?"

His followers were stunned by his attitude, and they hastily said, "Of course, w

    Delirus was like the incarnation of a demon. No one could match his prowess and left destruction in his wake. For a moment, complaints and grievances echoed.Adrian's face was dark as he watched the scene. Janice, having experienced similar hardships, could empathize with these people."What does Delirus want to achieve?" Janice wondered aloud, "If he just wants to secure first place in the trial, he has already achieved that. Why does he still do this?" "I believe he desires something more than just the first place in the trial," Adrian answered.Janice was stunned for a moment and she said, "You mean…""That's right," Adrian continued, "I think he's aiming for something else."Understanding hit Janice, but she hesitated to fully accept it. Adrian patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "Yes, he's doing this to power himself up."Adrian had concrete evidence. There was one common trait among those people Delirus killed after he took their beast cores. They were drained of t

    "How is this possible?" Delirus' heart sank, and he realized something was amiss. His target had been concealing their true strength.Upon realizing this, a foreboding feeling swept over Delirus. However, when he finally grasped the situation, it was already too late. A whirlwind would suddenly appear around him, trapping him. It was only now that he recognized the true identity of the seemingly frail person. It was none other than Adrian in disguise."You cunning kid! It's you!" he roared.After observing him for a while, Adrian became familiar with Delirus' behavior. He knew that Delirus only targeted weaker individuals or those injured by Variants while he avoided those who were stronger than him. Believing that Delirus liked to prey on the weak, Adrian decided to disguise himself as a vulnerable target to lure Delirus into a trap.Meanwhile, Janice watched Delirus and Adrian from the side. She had not expected this plan to work."Hmph, if you weren't someone who preys on the w

    Delirus activated his inner energy and stopped the bleeding. However, his body now resembled a thoroughly damaged dam. He could not stop the bleeding no matter how hard he tried. Gasping heavily for breath, he glared at Adrian and said, "No, I won't admit defeat! I won’t lose to you!"He refused to believe that he would lose to Adrian. But he was unwilling to accept it, the harsh reality was right before him. In Adrian’s presence, Delirus was nothing but a defeated opponent.Delirus' thoughts raced as he vividly recalled his past and the heavy price he paid for his current strength. His innate talent was mediocre. In the outside world, he would’ve lived as an ordinary person, but that was not the case in Monster Slayer Island. He bullied and exploited people here.To attain formidable power, Delirus had eliminated countless enemies. Now, all of that was about to come to an end. This was the last thing he wanted, but there was nothing could do in the face of Adrian's overwhelming

    Sensing everyone's apprehension, Adrian said with a smile, "Rest assured. I won't lay a hand on my comrades."Everyone sighed in relief. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of beast cores flew out from Delirus’ corpse. Adrian said, "Such good stuff would be a waste in the hands of a scoundrel like Delirus. They're mine now." "What use do you have for these things, Mr. Adrian?" Bruce asked."I'm going to repair the Monster Slayer Blade," Adrian said. "What? You're going to repair the Monster Slayer Blade with these beast cores?" Bruce was stunned.For a moment, everyone looked at him in shock.Adrian continued with a mysterious smile, "Why? Don't believe me? Beast cores are essentially concentrated energy, and over the long years, the Monster Slayer Blade has consumed massive amounts of energy. Wouldn't it be fitting to utilize this energy to replenish those lost energies?”Everyone felt what he said made sense, but the problem was how to implement it. It was like asking how ma

    The events that unfolded during this trial were completely unexpected. Many prominent figures on Monster Slayer Island felt embarrassed by the situation. Not only did they not anticipate such occurrences, but they were also awestruck by Adrian's strength. They dared not imagine how things would have developed without Adrian's intervention.Due to these unexpected circumstances, people's perceptions of Adrian changed. Even those who harbored preconceived notions or dissatisfaction toward him started to view him in a new light.Rayhan was quite pleased. He believed in Adrian from the beginning. It was just that he did not know how to silence the voices of dissent until now. With relief, he came to the plaza of Azure Palace and asked, "Everyone, do you have any objections to Mr. Adrian becoming the lord of Monster Slayer Island?" They dared not to have any objection. After all, Adrian was acknowledged by the Monster Slayer Blade itself. Therefore, they all unanimously responded, "No o

    "Fusion!" Adrian shouted while unleashing all of his power. Powerful energy surrounded him, elevating his strength to terrifying heights.Boom! The Frost Crystal Divine Sword and the Monster Slayer Blade merged into one. They had successfully transformed into a more powerful artifact."Excellent. From now on, I'll call you the Divine Frost Slayer Blade!" Adrian was filled with joy. Next, he left the place and returned to Silverboa City with his group.Adrian stood on the city wall with his hands clasped behind his back and gazed ahead in silence. He had been here for three days.Quintin walked over and said, "Mr. Adrian, you've been here for three days." "I know," Adrian replied indifferently."What are you looking at?" Quintin asked, standing beside him and gazing ahead. As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate wasteland. After the intense battles, the land was covered with vast stretches of scorched ground. A timely rain could wash away the remnants of war, but it co

    Adrian remained calm and looked at Maxwell. "Do you remember what I told you before?"Maxwell paused for a moment but quickly responded, "You said if I reach level seven within a year, you'll teach me higher-level techniques.""In war, strength alone doesn't guarantee success. Strategy is crucial. Now is the time to showcase your talent."Maxwell's eyes lit up. He nodded earnestly and said, "Okay, leave the defense of the city to me!"Others were taken aback and said, "What? You're leaving the defense of the city to him, Mr. Adrian?”"Yes, and you all as well. I'll handle the enemies," Adrian said.He leaped down from the city wall and disappeared into the pitch-black night. Since the enemies approached under the cover of night, he decided to use the darkness to his advantage as well. Boom!Another thunderclap erupted, and the enemies discovered a ghostly figure rushing toward them."Who is it? Argh!" They were met with a deadly attack just as they barely finished their que

    Adrian asked, "Spare you? What do you have to offer in exchange?"The daemon was startled and trembled all over. However, he knew that there was still room for negotiation."I… I…" he stammered as his eyes darted around as if trying to think of something. "Oh yeah!" his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something."Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.The man did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around to check if the surroundings were safe."Come closer and I'll tell you. And you must keep this a secret. Don't let my superiors find out,” he said.The daemon looked nervous, and Adrian knew why he would act this way. After all, nobody liked traitors. If he revealed their secrets to Adrian, he would undoubtedly face retaliation from his faction. Therefore, he needed Adrian's protection.Adrian assured him, "Don't worry. As long as what you say is true, I will keep you safe.""Really?" the man asked doubtfully.Not wanting to waste time, Adrian replied sternly, "Either te

This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him.

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare.

His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered.
