Jonty said, “Don’t panic! Take out the crystals and set up the formation!”His presence reassured the group, helping them overcome their fear of the daemons. They quickly set up the formation as he commanded.Whoosh!As the formation activated, a vast golden light burst forth. Countless brilliant rays covered the sky, obscuring the sun. The fierce daemons hesitated, unwilling to approach any closer.Everyone, including Jonty, was overjoyed. “What a miraculous formation! Its effects are amazing!”At that moment, Adrian’s voice came through the Melody Stone. “I was right. This formation gathers the aura essence of heaven and earth. Activated by the crystals, its power is even greater. Tyron, Jonty, don’t be afraid. You can attack the enemies freely!”The three teams, led by Adrian, Jonty, and Tyron respectively, gained confidence from Adrian’s words. They unleashed their strongest attacks on the daemons, finding that the formation significantly enhanced their strength.“This is fa
As Adrian struck out with his sword, everything around them suddenly halted. The daemonic soldiers abruptly stopped moving.“What...” The apprentices’ anxious hearts finally began to relax.Adrian then reminded them, “What are you still dazed for? Attack!”The apprentices snapped out of their confusion and immediately launched powerful attacks against the surrounding enemies.Boom! Boom! Boom!Though unsure if their attacks were effective, they followed Adrian’s orders without hesitation. In the continuous assault from the apprentices, the daemonic soldiers were soon eliminated.Adrian returned to the team and asked, “How are you all? Are you alright?”The apprentices replied, “We’re fine, but... How did you find their weak spot?”Adrian explained, “I deduced that they must be controlled by a formation. Since it’s a formation, it must have a weak spot. After a bit of investigation, I found it, and attacking it was relatively easy.”Everyone knew that such feats were beyond the
Seeing the unexpected assistance, everyone was startled.“It’s Mr. Adrian!” Tyron exclaimed in surprise, as did everyone else.“Sorry for being late, everyone!” Adrian laughed heartily, as if the dangerous situation was of no concern to him.With Adrian’s help, the daemonic soldiers were quickly overwhelmed. He wielded his weapon skillfully, and one by one, the daemonic shadows were eliminated.Soon, the team was out of danger.Jonty and the others finally smiled with relief. “I knew that as long as Mr. Adrian is here, we’ll be fine.”Tyron then asked, “Mr. Adrian, how did you find us? Why couldn’t we find a way out?”Adrian explained, “This formation has a disorienting effect that causes people to lose their way. The longer you stay inside, the stronger the effect.”But now with Adrian to guide them, they no longer had to worry.Meanwhile, in a mysterious spot on Hidden Dragon Hill, a figure in black robes observed everything secretly. “Interesting. This game is becoming more
The dark figure scoffed. "Hmph, don’t try to placate me. If you don’t eliminate them here, don’t expect any kindness from me.""Rest assured, Sacred Lord. I will eliminate them all," the black-robed figure promised.The dark figure then vanished, and the black-robed figure let out a sigh of relief. The dark figure's overwhelming aura had made it hard for him to breathe.“Since the Sacred Lord has given orders, you brats are doomed!” the black-robed figure muttered, waving, and a flash of light appeared before him.Within the twisted light, the images of Adrian and his companions became visible. The black-robed figure was shocked to see that they had already destroyed most of the Absolute Soul Great Formation."What? When did they manage that?" He had seen earlier that Adrian and the others hadn’t even breached the formation, but now, the situation had completely changed. This was far beyond his expectations.The man snarled, his face twisted in anger, "In that case, I’ll use my t
Their current success was largely due to Adrian’s continuous use of the Ancient Life Text, but Adrian knew he couldn’t sustain it much longer.Tyron continued, “Mr. Adrian, if you don’t want to explain, I won’t press you. But be mindful of your condition and don’t push yourself too hard.”“Don’t worry about me,” Adrian replied.Boom!Just then, a violent explosion echoed from a distance, instantly putting Adrian and the others on high alert.“Who’s there?” Adrian called out.As the words left his mouth, the scene before them suddenly distorted, and a massive figure slowly emerged. A chilling voice followed, “Who else could it be? Of course, it’s me!”The moment the voice was heard, Adrian felt a sense of familiarity. “It’s you!”Indeed, the figure that appeared was the black-robed man they had encountered earlier. But this time, the black-robed man wasn’t alone—he was accompanied by a gigantic daemonic beast.The two stood side by side, slowly approaching Adrian and the others
The black-robed man was fuming. He had expected the daemonic beast to easily handle Adrian and his group, but he was stunned to find that their strength was growing more formidable by the moment.Fortunately, he had another trick up his sleeve.The man nicked his arm with a knife, and a stream of blood shot out like an arrow toward the beast. As the blood arrow struck, the beast's power surged.“Rooooaaaarrr!” The beast howled furiously, erupting with newfound strength. Bloody energies surged into it, and it began to emit a rolling black fog, merging with the black-robed man.In moments, the black-robed man transformed into a massive, half-human, half-beast monster. Standing 10 meters tall with enormous, menacing claws, he now resembled a towering mountain in front of Adrian and the others.Adrian remained unfazed, mocking, “Tsk, I expected more from you. Instead, you’ve just become uglier. Do you really think this grotesque form is enough to take us down?”“Otherwise? Prepare to
In an instant, the man transformed into a devilish figure from the depths of hell. The previous clash had already left Adrian’s blood and energy surging uncontrollably, making it difficult for him to keep up. Sensing Adrian’s weakness, the man unleashed an even more powerful attack, aiming to finish him off with a single strike.Realizing that he couldn’t match the man’s growing strength, Adrian’s heart sank. With his remaining energy, he knew he couldn’t hold his ground much longer without endangering his fellow apprentices. He had no choice but to fight.Adrian condensed his energy into a sword and swung it fiercely. “Bring it on!”“Die!”A colossal, earth-shattering attack surged forward. At that moment, Tyron, Jonty, and the other apprentices rushed to join in. “Mr. Adrian, we’re coming too!”The final battle had arrived, a moment destined to determine their fate. Regardless of the outcome, the apprentices of Purecastle were resolved not to surrender to evil.“If you all choo
The black-robed man, shocked and furious, was bewildered by his sudden predicament. His eyes burned with rage as he glared at Adrian. “Damn brat, what have you done to me?!”Adrian merely laughed and replied, “It’s just a little trick. Are you falling apart already?”In a dramatic reversal, Adrian, who had been on the brink of collapse, had gained a significant boost in power by using the black-robed man as a substitute. Meanwhile, the black-robed man’s fighting spirit was rapidly fading.Furious and desperate, the black-robed man roared, “Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!”With a final, ferocious roar, he burned his last bit of life force to reinforce the Deathly Formation.Boom!The formation began to collapse, twisting inward like a distorted space.Tyron realized the imminent danger and shouted, “Damn it! This person is ruthless. The formation is collapsing inward, and we have nowhere to escape!”Amidst the chaos, Adrian signaled for everyone to stay calm. “Watch m
