Chapter 2984

Author: Celestial Clouds
Outside the gate, Dakota addressed the group, "Esteemed guests, this is the chamber where the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal is safeguarded. Typically, outsiders are not permitted entry here. However, today I will grant you a glimpse."

As he spoke, five guards approached, each extracting a substantial iron piece from their persons. Collectively, they assembled these pieces into a key, which they then inserted into the formidable lock. With a decisive turn, the door swung open. The layers of security measures were flawlessly executed.

Stepping through the threshold, Adrian and his companions beheld a grand hall even more resplendent than Nautica Hall. Towering statues of deities adorned each corner, emanating a commanding presence that shrouded their identities in mystery.

In the center of the hall loomed an even larger statue. The moment Adrian set foot inside, this statue captured his attention, for he sensed an uncanny vitality emanating from it. The statue seemed almost life-like, a s

    Josiah quickly bowed. "I am Josiah, an elder of Scarlet Summit. Greetings to the lord of Nautica."Seeing Josiah's respectful demeanor, Dakota appeared pleased. "There's no need for such formalities between us. Please, rise." With a genial smile, Dakota proceeded to introduce Adrian and the rest to Josiah, and Josiah reciprocated the gesture with a smile of his own.However, Adrian couldn't shake off a sense of unease. There was something about Josiah's aura that felt akin to a predatory wolf biding its time for the perfect moment to strike. Beneath the facade of innocence lay a more sinister intent.Amid the group behind Josiah, Adrian noted the presence of several formidable individuals. Their auras were expertly concealed, reminiscent of the assailants who had attempted to ambush Celeste and Umbrex. It was evident that the immortals of Scarlet Summit possessed unique techniques, signaling that they were not to be underestimated.As Dakota engaged Josiah in conversation, Adrian a

    The scene was terrifying. Even Adrian and the others, despite their strength, were momentarily taken aback. These ghosts and monsters emerged from the large crates brought by Josiah's entourage, drifting into the hall in clusters. They moved toward the rear of the hall as if poised to enact something. However, to ordinary observers, these apparitions remained unseen, leaving only a discomforting gust of chilling wind in their wake.With their arrival, the righteous aura within Nautica Hall significantly waned, replaced by an ominous and malevolent atmosphere. Gradually, more and more ghosts and monsters materialized. Adrian observed the sky above Nautica Hall darkening steadily. Layers of ominous clouds converged from all directions, while the chilly wind intensified with the growing number of apparitions. It was akin to a supernatural procession unfolding before their eyes.At this moment, Alfie's voice sounded, "This box is a treasure called the Demon's Box. It has divine abilities

    The pervasive ghostly aura carried by the demonic parade resembled pollution, tainting the surrounding aura essence and rendering the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal powerless.Upon comprehending Alfie's explanation, Adrian grasped the situation. However, what lay ahead appeared even more daunting. Scarlet Summit's bold display suggested unwavering confidence in seizing the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal. If that were the case, forthcoming events would prove troublesome.Now, Alfie and the rest comprehended the motive behind Scarlet Summit's actions, with Lamar in particular glaring directly at Josiah.At that moment, Josiah and Dakota engaged in casual conversation, appearing as if they were long-lost acquaintances catching up. Josiah intermittently cast mocking glances at the crowd.Internally, Josiah sneered, 'Hmph, I specially borrowed the Demon's Box from the Empyrean. We will seize the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal. What can Nautica do to stop us? With our numbers, do we fear being unable t

    During Dakota's introduction of them as part of Nautica, he hadn't specified their exact identities. In fact, even Dakota himself was unaware of the full extent of Adrian and the others' strengths. Notably, Lamar was a formidable expert with immense power, and the likes of Cameron and the rest were equally formidable. With such outstanding individuals present, even someone as formidable as Josiah found the situation somewhat daunting.Just as Adrian intervened to resolve Dakota's crisis, Josiah made his move. With apparent concern, he remarked, "Dakota, you're aging; you must take care of yourself." Simultaneously, he extended a supporting hand toward Dakota.To the casual observer, his actions appeared mundane. However, Adrian sensed a subtle command in Josiah’s gesture. Suddenly, ghosts and malevolent spirits from all directions surged toward Josiah. These layers of malevolent entities resembled a sea of lost souls, seemingly intent on engulfing Adrian.Enraged, Adrian emitted a r

    Dakota clearly heard the ominous sound and looked up, but there appeared to be nothing visible. His expression of astonishment had barely faded when a deafening roar echoed through the air. The true form of the entity slowly emerged from the confines of the Demon's Box—a colossal being shrouded in a sinister blood-red hue.The creature had a humanoid form, yet it bore eight eyes upon its face. These eyes lacked pupils, each adorned with unique, intricate trigram patterns. At the center of this arrangement, where a ninth eye might be expected, lay a gaping maw—a monstrous oval filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, making for a terrifying display. Its body was marred by tattered flesh wounds, from which oozed repulsive pus and blood, transforming into countless maggots that writhed across the ground.The thunderous roar had undoubtedly been heard by Dakota as well. Instantly, his complexion paled, and he nearly crumpled to the ground. The guards, too, collapsed, overwhelmed by the she

    Fueled by anger, Dakota felt compelled to confront Josiah. However, his path was intercepted by another figure. He glanced over and recognized the sharp-eyed individual—it was Jameson, another remarkable apprentice of Nautica.Originally summoned for a different task, Jameson had returned to the outskirts of Nautica after completing his assignment, only to witness the chaos unfolding at Nautica Hall. Without hesitation, he rushed to the scene, where he found Dakota under siege by a horde of ferocious ghosts. Swiftly, Jameson sprang into action, delivering decisive blows that vanquished countless ghosts, rescuing Dakota from peril.Dakota trembled as he inquired, "What is happening? I sense nothing but a chilling terror!"Jameson shielded Dakota, wielding his sword with precision to dispatch the ghosts. "Remain composed, my lord," he reassured, "These disturbances are the machinations of lackeys from Scarlet Summit. Follow me, and I shall lead you to safety."With that declaration,

    Some of them were high-level figures, but now they found themselves powerless against the malevolent spirits. They all and Dakota silently followed behind Godrick as they retreated. "Damn it! I didn't expect Josiah to have the guts to summon such a powerful Spectral Companion in front of everyone!" Adrian cursed. In the next moment, the group swiftly formed a large formation around Josiah. Meanwhile, the monstrous creature emerged completely from the Demon's Box. The creature was enormous, its size so massive that it had to stoop within the grand hall, propping itself up with both hands. It appeared somewhat comical, but the onlookers were far from amused as they felt the overwhelming aura emanating from the beast.“This is a greater demon! Josiah definitely couldn’t have tamed it. An even stronger person probably tamed it. Be careful, Mr. Adrian!" Dakota warned. "I know," Adrian replied. Lamar's expression was dark. Josiah was someone he respected, and he had not expected the

    Josiah stood by the side with hands behind his back as watched the battle. He laughed and said, "You're strong, young man, I'll give you that. But you're no match for this greater demon!" He then formed another hand seal. At the same time, the demon waved its hands vigorously, creating two cyclones, and threw them toward Adrian and Alfie. Following its attack, the demon charged toward Adrian and Alfie. Rumble!As the powerful attack struck, the grand hall that was already teetering on the brink of collapse crumbled. Adrian and Alfie swiftly leaped away, landing in the square outside. Knowing they needed to give everything to defeat the greater demon and Josiah, Alfie summoned the Thunder Emperor Sword into his hand. The sword emitted crackling electric light, and one could see sparks dancing along its edge, hinting at the immense power contained within.With a roar, Alfie charged at the demon. Each of his moves crackled with energy as he battled on. Despite the demon's immense si

    The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? 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

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. 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. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained.

    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 intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power.

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. 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. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body.
