“From the beginning, it was agreed that the two would have a fair duel to showcase their strength. Given the circumstances, it is a fair fight, and you have no right to interfere,” Bryn declared with authority. “In the Universe Alliance, everything is based on strength. If you’re stronger than Adrian, you can intervene on Andreas’ behalf, and I will have no objections. However, if you insist on making me intervene, I will ensure you regret it!”Bryn’s words were undeniable, and no one dared to contradict him. To the spectators, opposing his authority was out of the question.Far off, Andreas listened with growing anger. He hadn’t expected Bryn to be so callous. In a fit of rage, he roared at Adrian, “If I don’t apologize, do you really intend to kill me?!”“I might not kill you, but I will make sure you’re thoroughly humiliated,” Adrian responded coldly and suddenly vanished.In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Andreas and stomped down. The crowd gasped in shock as Adrian’s f
Hearing these words, Andreas’ eyes burned with humiliation and fury. Admitting defeat was unacceptable to him; conceding now would ruin his entire lifetime of reputation.Crack!Another heavy stomp landed on Andreas’ wrist, causing his blood vessels to burst. The raw flesh and blood were clearly visible, almost unbearable to look at. The crowd silently sympathized with him but felt helpless. Those standing with Andreas could only watch with frustration and anger.Adrian then slapped Andreas in the face twice.“Ah! Adrian, I will kill you! You deserve to die for this humiliation!” Andreas roared, dark, malevolent energy beginning to flow within him.“Oh no! He’s about to daemonize!” The crowd gasped in horror, realizing that daemonic energy was overtaking Andreas’ body.Adrian was also taken aback. This indicated that daemonic energy had been injected into Andreas by the daemons. It was meant to amplify Andreas’ power dramatically when he neared a breakthrough, pushing him toward
In the next moment, Andreas opened his mouth wide. The sight was so frightening it left everyone shivering with fear.“Kill him quickly!” a man shouted from a distance, horrified and eager to execute Andreas himself. A daemonized individual like Andreas could not be spared.The onlookers remained silent. Daemonized beings were a serious concern for everyone.“If that is the case, then I can only say I’m sorry,” Adrian said coldly. Such individuals deserved to be eliminated, and he wasn’t one to show mercy.Adrian’s power surged.“No!” The fog in Andreas’ pupils cleared one last time. Yet, Adrian’s long sword was already striking down upon him.Andreas coughed up a mouthful of blood as his strength waned. He could hardly believe he was killed so swiftly. With his eyes wide open, he stared at Adrian before dying with unfulfilled rage. His breath ceased, and the onlookers were horrified.“What a pity.” Someone sighed from afar.Another person said slowly, “If it weren’t for offend
As the apprentices escorted Tyron, he glanced at Adrian with a look of helplessness. He knew Adrian had likely already noticed him, which left him feeling awkward and unsure of what to say. Tyron felt like he was causing trouble for Adrian.They had just arrived at the Universe Alliance and intended to keep a low profile. However, after Adrian killed Andreas, their presence became far too noticeable.Adrian noticed Tyron being restrained by the crowd and looked on with confusion. Tyron gave a bitter smile and said, “I accidentally stumbled into a forbidden area of the Universe Alliance. It was unintentional, but they insisted on bringing me here. I had no choice.”The leading apprentice turned respectfully toward Bryn and said, “Sir Bryn, this man trespassed into the forbidden area. Although he claims it was unintentional, we caught him. How should we deal with this?”Bryn frowned slightly. He knew Tyron was an outstanding talent close to Adrian. With a sharp gaze, he asked, “Did h
It was as if Bryn’s words were meant for everyone.“When the daemons invade, the Universe Alliance might not hold out. You all must strengthen yourselves or face death,” he said.Adrian, standing beside Bryn with a kind expression, added, “Sir Bryn is right.”But his words sounded like flattery, making everyone look at Adrian with disdain, caught off guard by his insincerity.Bryn, casting a sharp gaze at Adrian and the others, said, “You should rest up. I’ll send out further notices and inform you of the next steps.”With that, Bryn quickly left. The crowd, surprised, left quickly too, unsure of what to say.Bryn soon appeared in a grand hall, resplendent with gold and emerald, its walls adorned with ancient patterns and mythical beasts. In the center of the hall stood an elderly man. Bryn approached him and slightly bowed. “Sir, everything has been arranged.”The elderly man’s sharp eyes emitted a piercing light. “Is it true this Adrian you value so highly killed Andreas Boo
Adrian and Tyron stood a distance away, unaware of the events unfolding nearby.“Tyron, what happened to you?” Adrian asked, puzzled.Tyron, holding a fan and looking every bit the refined gentleman, seemed an unlikely candidate for capture. Adrian couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.Tyron looked bewildered and felt innocent, unsure of what had happened. He explained the entire situation to Adrian so he could grasp the full context.Adrian’s eyes lit up as he listened. “Oscar? He sounds intriguing. From what you’ve described, he must be exceptional. I think I need to meet him.”Tyron agreed. “Yes, he is extraordinary, with power similar to yours.”Adrian’s icy gaze suggested he was interested in the challenge. “Alright, I’m up for it. He might be one of the daemonized individuals.”Tyron was taken aback. ‘Is Adrian intentionally seeking out difficulties?’ he wondered.In reality, though, Adrian wasn’t looking for trouble. It was just that daemonized individuals could help
Tyron hoped Adrian would thoroughly deal with Oscar, as the previous losses he suffered were too great to ignore. Even someone as intelligent as Tyron had been deceived by Oscar, which fueled the former’s anger.Two days passed quickly. Within the Universe Alliance, the powerful figures who had entered remained unusually quiet. It was uncertain whether Bryn’s earlier show of force or Adrian’s strict methods had intimidated them. Some individuals, though eager to act, still maintained a low profile and cautiously moved within the Universe Alliance.And during these two days, Adrian had been far from idle. He focused on the forbidden area of the Universe Alliance, as Tyron had previously mentioned that he and Oscar had been expelled from these areas. Adrian decided to stake out the location and see if anything would come of it.Days went by with no progress. Adrian, concealed in the shadows, continued to observe the forbidden area. Even in the dead of night, he remained vigilant, wond
Oscar glanced around, then focused on the forbidden area, a faint, cold smile on his lips. He casually tossed a black object into the forbidden area and vanished immediately.Adrian, watching in shock, struggled to understand what had just happened. Oscar’s sudden disappearance and the mysterious black object were completely unexpected.Adrian’s eyes widened with surprise. ‘This is no simple matter. This guy’s methods are extraordinary,’ he thought with a sneer. Determined not to give up, he resolved to keep observing.He stayed in place, convinced that Oscar couldn't have vanished without a trace. If Oscar had entered the forbidden area, he would eventually come out, and Adrian could act then. If not, Adrian would have wasted his time but could confirm Oscar was indeed problematic.As the saying goes, a fox's tail will eventually show itself. Adrian decided to wait and see what the mysterious object was.Time dragged on. Adrian wasn’t sure how long he had been waiting. His eyes w
