"I'm truly sorry, but my tea is reserved for those with good intentions toward me. I know nothing about you, so offering you tea would be premature," Adrian explained, shrugging.

At this moment, his vigilance heightened. This man had just called him by his name, implying some level of prior investigation.

"If that's the case, let's not beat around the bush.” Nathaniel produced a token from his pocket. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nathaniel Albarea, deputy head of Mapleston City’s garrison."

Adrian's eyes sparked at the realization of Nathaniel's high status in Mapleston, though he maintained a puzzled expression. "I'm just a commoner running a small art studio. Why would the garrison send someone of your stature here, sir?"

Nathaniel chuckled at Adrian's words. "You're quite amusing, Adrian."

Adrian gave him a disgruntled look. "What's so funny?"

Nathaniel's laughter subsided as he continued, "Your disguise is clever indeed. But there's no need for pretense. I'm aware of wh

    "It’s okay if you'd rather not tell me. The truth is, I came here to propose cooperation with you this time." Nathaniel's tone then shifted. "The incident in Meadowshire, was that your doing? Since you're so capable, you should join the garrison.""Sorry, I'm not interested.” Adrian immediately rejected Nathaniel’s proposal."Don't be so quick to reject me. Joining the garrison not only offers security and a high salary, but it also allows your potential to be fully developed." Nathaniel still seemed eager to recruit him. He believed that since he couldn't currently figure out Adrian's background, bringing him under his wing might be a good choice. This way, he could slowly investigate Adrian."I have no need for that. I'll develop my potential on my own. I don't need you to worry about that." Adrian continued to refuse. He then stood up and guided Nathaniel toward the door. "If there's nothing else, please leave. But rest assured, I'm definitely not your enemy. I’ll never, ever be,

    At the intersection, Herman asked Nathaniel, "Sir, are we really going to leave just like that?"Herman had witnessed how Adrian had unceremoniously pushed Nathaniel out the door. Seeing a leader of the garrison treated in such a way by a kid made him feel a bit uneasy.Nathaniel glanced at Herman. "What else was I supposed to do? Arrest him?"Herman looked around cautiously before whispering, "I think we could employ some covert methods. Perhaps threaten to raid his shop...""Stop." Nathaniel immediately cut Herman off. "We are the garrison, not bandits. Our duty is to defend the peace of the region. We can't resort to such tactics.""But—""Don’t even think about it."Nathaniel strode away, and Herman, who followed him, wore a scowl. They were unaware that a shadow, lurking in a dark alley nearby, was observing their every move.After observing for a moment, the shadow swiftly vanished and reappeared in a secluded location where several other black-clad individuals had been w

    "What's going on? Speak clearly. What do you mean ‘save someone?’" Adrian was completely puzzled by Clayton's words. He had no idea what this guy was trying to convey."Hang on." Clayton furtively glanced into the shop, then at their surroundings, leaving Adrian feeling uneasy."What is going on?" Adrian asked, growing curious."Um, can we go inside, sir? I'm a bit worried about talking out here," Clayton asked tentatively, rubbing his hands nervously."So troublesome.” Adrian gave him a disdainful look. Nevertheless, he allowed Clayton in. After all, Clayton was just an ordinary high school student, and Adrian wasn't concerned about him posing any threat.Once seated at the table, Adrian poured Clayton a glass of water. "Go on, what do you want from me?" he asked again in a flat tone."It’s Bailey. He’s been possessed by a monster." Clayton revealed after taking a sip of water.“But who’s Bailey?” Adrian was completely puzzled."Bailey Weeks is my friend. Mr. Adrian, you’ve me

    But Clayton refused to seek the garrison's help, fearing they would take Bailey away. Instead, he turned to Adrian for assistance."I see..." Adrian said solemnly after hearing Clayton's explanation. However, he frowned, still harboring resentment from the events of that day.Clayton seemed oblivious to Adrian's expression. "Sir, please, help me.""You seem to be forgetting something," Adrian said sternly.Clayton was momentarily stunned by Adrian's question, blinking in confusion."Aren’t you going to explain how you found where I stay? Also, garrison personnel came looking for me yesterday. Did you leak information about me?" Adrian asked seriously."Um..." Clayton was taken aback. He glanced at Adrian, noticing the latter’s intensified frown. Despite this, he didn't conceal anything and quickly what had happened with Nathaniel."Wow, that guy has some skills. He tracked me down just from a portrait!" Adrian exclaimed."Of course, he's from the garrison, after all." Clayton n

    "Is this her house?" Adrian pointed at the mansion."You're amazing, Adrian. You actually managed to figure that out on your own," Clayton exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.At that moment, two people were standing at the door: a middle-aged couple dressed in fine clothes. As Clayton and Adrian approached, Clayton briefly introduced Bailey's family: Taylor Weeks and Jodi Weeks, wealthy merchants with businesses in Mapleston."Clayton, you’re finally here. Where's that monster hunter you mentioned?" the middle-aged man, Taylor, hurriedly asked.It seemed Clayton had informed them about Adrian in advance."Mr. and Mrs. Weeks, this is him, Adrian. I brought him to help us," Clayton introduced Adrian.The Weeks couple looked expectant, but when they saw Adrian, their smiles froze."Clayton..." Taylor was slightly stunned."This man is the monster hunter you were talking about?" The woman beside him, Jodi, also seemed puzzled."Yeah. Now, don't judge Adrian by his age. He's really powe

    Immediately after, a strange figure leaped out from the ruins, floating in the air. Enveloped in an exceptionally powerful force, it emitted sinister laughter, casting an indescribable eerie feeling upon everyone present.The figure was revealed to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl clad in a pure white long dress. Her long black hair cascaded behind her, gently swaying in the wind. Combined with the swirling black aura around her, she carried an inexplicable sense of eeriness."Bailey!"The few people below shouted.There was no mistaking it. The figure hovering in the air was Bailey. However, compared to before, the current Bailey looked like a ghostly apparition, emitting an inexplicable feeling to everyone present."The monster has taken over her completely!" Adrian shouted.He was the first to notice a faint black shadow attached to Bailey's body. At a glance, it was clear that the shadow did not belong to her; it must be from the netherworld. As soon as this entity app

    Bailey never expected that while she aimed to deal with Adrian, he didn't even bother to make a move himself. General Hydro and General Pyro—two ninth-level powerhouses—were more than capable of subduing her.Swish swish!Two chains swept over, and in an instant, Bailey was bound. She struggled incessantly, attempting to break free from their restraint. But no matter how hard she struggled, the chains remained unmoved. She was unable to escape.Bailey grimaced in anger. "Damn it!" she cursed.Adrian maintained a cold smile. "Now let's see where you run off to."Bailey smirked in response. "Hehehe, do you think you can defeat me by doing this? If I'm going to die, I'll drag this little girl down to hell with me!""Is that so?" Adrian sneered.Ash then appeared and unsheathed his Doomcleaver.Slice!The Doomcleaver struck Bailey's throat. However, instead of blood, a shadow flew out from inside her body. It was the monster possessing Bailey. Struck by the Doomcleaver, it sought

    At that moment, the girl named Safiya Klines nodded, then added, "I do have another identity though. I am the leader of the Special Operations Team of the garrison."This revelation surprised Adrian. ‘What? She's the leader of the Special Ops Team? But she's so young,’ he thought as his mouth hung open in astonishment.Clayton, also taken aback, stuttered, "Sa-Safiya… Y-You..." He struggled to form a coherent sentence.Adrian assessed Safiya. Considering her age, he would have never expected this girl to be so strong. After some observation, he could tell that she was at the intermediate eighth level. Even Nathaniel, whom Adrian knew to be a pinnacle eighth level, was not as strong as Safiya.It was remarkable that someone so young could achieve such a high level. No wonder Safiya was made the leader of the Special Ops Team.Just then, Bailey's parents approached, asking, "Bailey? Bailey, are you okay?" They gently took Bailey from Safiya's hands. With evident concern on their fac

    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

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. 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. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    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. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    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. A reckless move co

    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. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
