In the next moment, Adrian unleashed a punch. An astonishing force erupted from his fist like a volcanic explosion, striking the massive Blood Bane in the sky.Boom!With a deafening crash, Adrian's punch blasted open a corner of the massive Blood Bane, revealing a passage straight into its core. The Blood Bane roiled and seethed violently, releasing an incredibly terrifying aura from within itself. Even those as powerful as the old hermit and Brandon felt a deep sense of dread at that moment. They had a strong feeling that if they entered the core of the Blood Bane, they would be dead within a minute.However, Adrian showed no fear. He stomped the ground, causing it to crack open. He then shot into the sky like a cannonball, plunging into the heart of the massive Blood Bane. Once he entered, the Blood Bane roiled and repaired the breach that Adrian's punch had created.Brandon and Ash watched with worry. However, being seasoned fighters, they knew that worrying was useless. If the
This blade was named Chaos Blade, the symbol of the garrison leader, and it didn't belong to Adrian. Yet, in such a critical moment, he had managed to call upon it.As soon as the Chaos Blade appeared in Adrian's hand, his aura surged, filling the air with sizzling sounds. When his intensified aura covered the blood-red ghostly hands, sounds of sizzling echoed through the air. The ghostly hands began to melt away at a visible rate, just like the earlier Blood Specters.This was to be expected as Adrian was a powerful person capable of vanquishing the sources of these Blood Banes, and the Chaos Blade was a weapon meant for slaying these very sources. Combined, their power naturally amplified the effectiveness against the Blood Bane Energy.Now that Adrian could use his aura to annihilate these ghostly hands, he wasted no effort in making a move. With a cold expression, he continued deeper into the blood-red space. As he advanced, the ghostly hands vanished, replaced by Blood Specters
However, the golden dragon showed no fear, occasionally opening its mouth to bite a Blood Specter. The dragon chewed it to bits, swallowed it whole, then started emitting a faint golden glow. When the glow subsided, the dragon seemed to have grown slightly larger. Then, it proceeded to devour the next Blood Specter.The dragon was consuming these fearsome Blood Specters like food.Witnessing this, Adrian's face remained cold and indifferent, showing no surprise. He knew that the dragon was not real; it was the manifestation of Exasword's flow of destiny. This Destiny Dragon was devouring the Blood Specters to refine the Blood Bane Energy and strengthen itself. When the Destiny Dragon had refined this Blood Bane Energy, it would be immensely fortified, greatly benefiting the entire city.Originally, the Blood Specters formed from Blood Bane Energy couldn't resist Exasword’s Destiny Dragon. Even though they were powerful, they were helpless before it, being devoured continuously.How
At the center of the Blood Bane Energy, the Chaos Blade transformed into two black and white blade shadows and slashed at the Blood Specters. Meanwhile, Adrian swiftly dodged and maneuvered while wielding the blade, defending and attacking simultaneously.Bang! Bang! Bang!One Blood Specter after another was chopped up into blood mist by the Chaos Blade, then devoured by the Destiny Dragon. At this moment, the Destiny Dragon had grown several times larger than before, and its length was rapidly increasing.Although Adrian was drenched in sweat, he felt no sense of exhaustion whatsoever.Swoosh!A burst of energy erupted from within him, instantly evaporating the sweat on his body and clothes. He swung the Chaos Blade, cutting down several Blood Specters that were attacking him. These phantoms were noticeably larger than before and more solid. Adrian could clearly see their faces, all of which belonged to the foreign powerhouses he had killed in the past.These Blood Specters were
Adrian faced a daunting task: defeating all the Blood Specters so the Destiny Dragon could consume them, ensuring Exasword's ascension to glory. However, eliminating the Blood Specters proved exceedingly challenging. The crimson expanse had swelled manyfold, with the specters multiplying at an alarming rate.Adrian's arms bore numerous wounds with each swing of the Chaos Blade. As old injuries persisted and new ones emerged, he grimaced in pain. Glancing at the Destiny Dragon, he noted its incomplete fifth claw, appearing more like an illusion."It seems unlikely for it to fully transform unless… I release the seal," Adrian muttered coldly."Forbidden spell, Requiem Aeternam! Viridis Draco, activate!"With a resounding roar, Adrian's aura surged, his presence commanding. A shockwave obliterated the nearby Blood Specters, and their essence was consumed by the Destiny Dragon.As Adrian slashed out with the Chaos Blade, the air thrummed with energy. A dual-colored blade essence, half
Meanwhile, Brandon, Eliza, Brooke, and Bruno, along with other garrison soldiers, barely held an advantage and faced the risk of losing if they weren't cautious."This can't continue. We can barely handle one Blood Specter, let alone the increasing number breaking free from the blood clouds!" a soldier exclaimed.The weakest soldier among them abandoned the fight and fled. Seeing this, Ash didn't bother commanding him to come back. He, too, considered retreating."How did these Blood Specters emerge? Why are there so many formidable ones within this Blood Bane Energy?" another soldier lamented.Brandon and Ash sneered upon hearing this."Heh, how did they emerge? Just look at their faces, and you'll understand. These are all foreign experts who fell at our hands in the past," Eliza revealed.This revelation stunned the soldiers."Adrian! Could he have already advanced to level nine?" Ash murmured, dazed.Suddenly, Brodie yelled at him, "Move!"Snapping out of his daze, Ash wat
"Could it be?" Adrian muttered. At that moment, he realized that the dark shadow concealed behind the blood-red space embodied the true horror of this Blood Bane Energy.The thousands of foreign souls, suppressed by him, engaged in a state of mutual slaughter and consumption. They appeared to be intentionally nurtured, with the dark shadow likely representing the Blood Bane King nurtured from this chaos."After all this time, you've finally decided to reveal yourself." Adrian sneered.This Blood Bane King must have sensed that the Destiny Dragon was on the verge of a transformation, hence its decision to cease the appearance of other Blood Specters. Consequently, the entire blood-red space came to a stand-still.Adrian stood beside the Destiny Dragon, facing off against the Blood Bane King concealed within the crimson realm.“Roar!”Suddenly, the calm shattered as a roar emanated from behind the blood-red space, generating a visible shockwave. Adrian's clothes billowed in the win
Inside the blood-red space, Adrian sensed something amiss. The density of the Blood Bane Energy around him was slowly diminishing, yet the pressure from the Blood Bane was intensifying.However, the dark shadow seemed to have vanished without a trace, not making another appearance. Adrian wanted to venture outside to investigate, but he remained obligated to guard the Destiny Dragon and couldn't depart."I don’t think any more Blood Specters will emerge for the moment. Maybe I should temporarily store the Destiny Dragon in an item. If the Blood Bane King strikes, my attention might be divided to protect it," Adrian muttered as he rummaged through his belongings, but soon realized he lacked a suitable item for housing the Destiny Dragon.Just then, the Destiny Dragon stirred. It circled around Adrian and swiftly surged toward his chest without warning. Adrian barely had time to react.Upon contact with Adrian's chest, the Destiny Dragon promptly vanished into him. Adrian’s entire fo
