Initially, these people didn't even consider Adrian a threat, but within moments, they were shocked by his immense power. In an instant, he destroyed them all, giving them no chance to resist."Damn it!" someone screamed as the group was sent flying, instantly turning into a mass of flesh.Adrian's attack angered the others, and soon more people rushed out from the rainforest toward him. Despite their relentless attacks, they posed no threat to him. Adrian, seemingly invincible, was unmatched wherever he went. Countless screams echoed as bodies littered the ground. No matter how many people came, he killed them all.Just then, another angry roar erupted, "Damn it, damn it!”Someone dashed out from the darkness, seemingly much stronger than those before. Adrian couldn't help but look toward him. However, this person's strength was still incomparable to his own. Dealing with this person would only consume a little more energy."Argh!" Adrian exerted all his strength and punched out
"What do you mean?" The man seemed to not understand Adrian's words.Adrian couldn't be bothered to explain further. He launched a terrifying attack, aiming to take the man's life.After dealing with him, Adrian didn't linger. He continued forward, heading deeper into the mountains. With no more obstacles in his path, he advanced steadily. Soon, he reached the deepest part of the mountain.Before Adrian lay a vast valley, filled with hidden, mysterious facilities. Countless machines roared, and many workers moved back and forth. He immediately recognized them as people of Falconia, not Exasword or Westania. It was surprising to find so many people from Falconia hidden in a deep mountain in the remote outskirts of Westania. From this, Adrian knew this was no simple matter. Without hesitation, he stepped into the valley, releasing all his power to envelop it."Damn it!" someone cursed as they realized the danger.A group of people quickly turned toward Adrian. Many of them seemed fo
Adrian observed that the person wasn't as formidable as he initially thought. The source of the opponent's powerful attacks stemmed entirely from the formidable armor adorning his body. This armor absorbed energy from the surrounding air, converting it into power, which the wearer could then unleash through the armor’s propulsion system. While such armor could pose a significant threat to ordinary individuals by enhancing combat effectiveness, Adrian quickly identified its flaws with his divine consciousness.With a resounding roar, Adrian declared, "The power derived from external sources is nothing but an illusion. You might as well surrender!" Simultaneously, he unleashed a surge of energy that shattered the opponent's armor.Witnessing the destruction, the man exclaimed, "How is this possible?"Adrian retorted, "Oh, but it is. Your power relies solely on the external force of the armor, not your own strength. You’re just empty talk and vulnerable." With another exertion of force
Adrian walked up to the cage as the little girl inside looked at him fearfully. He soothingly reassured her, "It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm here to rescue you."As he said this, the powerful aura surrounding Adrian dissipated. He instantly transformed into a friendly person, exuding a gentle vibe. Sensing the change in his aura, the little girl stopped being afraid.With a wave of his hand, Adrian easily broke open the cage. He then extended his hand, inviting the little girl to come closer, and she complied. Adrian then gathered all the other children in the cage and got them out.Outside, Adrian contacted Mark, who arrived shortly with a large group of people. Adrian instructed them to wait outside until he gave the order. When they entered, they were stunned by the scene before them.Mark was especially enraged, wishing he could tear those responsible apart. "Those despicable people from Falconia used our citizens for alchemical research! On top of that,
Mark was confused. "What about you? Where are you going?"Everyone turned their gaze to Adrian."I'm going to continue the investigation. I have these Falconia lackeys from Exasword’s lands," Adrian said firmly.“Do you need any assistance, Mr. Adrian? These guys are despicable, and we have to contribute wherever we can," someone offered."Yes, we want to help,” another chimed in.Adrian simply waved and said, "That's not necessary. While eliminating Falconia’s base, we need to be vigilant about their potential retaliation against Exasword. Just focus on defending your positions.""Yes, I agree. Our duty is to hold our ground. That will naturally be a great help to Mr. Adrian," Mark said.Upon hearing these words, everyone nodded in agreement.After saying his farewells, Adrian set off. He knew the enemy was located in the vast desert to the southwest. If he wanted to find them, he had to enter the desert.Unfortunately, he had not found any useful maps inside the previous bas
Suddenly, Adrian spotted someone ahead of him. Although the figure was fleeting, it couldn't elude his gaze.Adrian hastened forward to investigate. As he drew closer, he observed that the person appeared to be sprinting, and their speed hindered his ability to see them clearly. He was not concerned though. His abilities and speed were formidable, enabling him to swiftly close the distance. He was eager to uncover any connection this person might have to the secrets he pursued.Before long, Adrian caught up and delivered a forceful blow to the person's back, causing them to stumble and collapse. Adrian swiftly restrained the person, rendering any attempt to flee futile. The person was now entirely at Adrian's mercy.Adrian sternly demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here?" Upon finally seeing the person clearly, he couldn't shake the chill from the sightThe person's appearance was far from ordinary. Despite being humanoid, he bore distinct features unlike those of humans. His arms
"Could you take me to your village?" Adrian inquired.However, the scaled man shook his head. "No. The villagers will kill you. They despise outsiders.""But I'm from Aethersphere, just like you. Moreover, I hail from Exasword," Adrian insisted."Nobodies cares if you're from Exasword or Westania. The people of my village only trust their own. To them, anyone else is a threat," the scaled man replied.Adrian found this very peculiar. Seeing as they considered everyone else a threat, he sensed there was more to this village than met the eye.Nonetheless, this scaled man seemed relatively agreeable. Adrian glanced at him and proposed, "In that case, why not show me your village? I'd like to verify the situation for myself.""What? You still want to go even after what I said?" The scaled man appeared puzzled, evident that he couldn't fathom Adrian's persistence.Adrian remained resolute. "Yes, I still want to see your village."Observing Adrian's determination, the scaled man sigh
After a while, they finally arrived at a dilapidated village that appeared as though it could crumble at any moment. But despite its decrepit appearance, the village was inhabited. Adrian noted numerous people bustling about, attending to their daily tasks, much like any rural community. However, as he entered the village’s confines, he sensed wary gazes fixed upon him. The villagers appeared distrustful of him."Nilson, what is this? Didn't I instruct everyone to refrain from bringing outsiders here?"A voice suddenly pierced the air. It was a coarse male voice that demanded immediate attention, and it certainly caught Adrian’s.Glancing toward the source, Adrian spotted a burly man. This individual sported long, coarse fur on various parts of his body, akin to a black bear. It was clear that this person had undergone genetic modifications too."Mr. Griz, this man isn't malevolent. I sense he's capable of aiding us in resolving our predicament," defended the scaled man named Nilso
