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
The black object finally fell to the ground, and in the distance, Oscar was jolted from his meditation. His eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Who touched my belongings?” he demanded.Oscar was stunned. His belongings had been tampered with, and he could feel that the disturbance had completely prevented it from returning to him. Enraged, he quickly stood up and vanished from his spot.Meanwhile, Adrian, who was near the black object, picked it up and discovered it was just a stone. He was puzzled. “A stone? What’s the significance of this?”As Adrian tried to make sense of the stone, he sensed a figure approaching rapidly. It was Oscar. With a cold smile, Adrian concealed himself in the shadows, eager to see Oscar’s next move.Oscar soon arrived on the scene, his aura cloaked in a void state, exuding an air of mystery and power. Adrian realized that Oscar had likely hidden his presence during his training and must be full of secrets.Oscar was furious, realizing his stone was
Oscar felt his spiritual consciousness being destroyed. His pupils turned blood-red, and strands of blood spread through his eyes as a daemonic essence surged within him, transforming him completely.Oscar’s gaze became icy, filled with intense murderous intent. He waved his hand, creating a barrier around himself as waves of daemonic essence emanated from his body. He knew he had to control it. If anyone noticed, it could spell disaster. The Universe Alliance was originally formed to fight the daemons, and exposing himself was too risky.Meanwhile, Adrian, from a distance, felt powerful energy waves emanating from the stone after severing Oscar’s spiritual consciousness. The stone began releasing an ominous aura, and Adrian could sense the terrifying power. To him, it felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure, though he knew the stone contained daemonic essence.Adrian was surprised. Keeping the stone could invite trouble, as dealing with daemons was always challenging. If others d
Oscar realized he had no connection with most others in the area. But then another name flashed through his mind—Adrian.Oscar knew both Tyron and Adrian were from Purecastle. Now, he began to suspect that one of them might have been monitoring him, leading to the disappearance of his divine stone. However, he hadn’t seen either of them. Could he have been careless?Oscar frowned, muttering to himself. He was skeptical but also unsure. His suspicion was, in fact, accurate. It was indeed Adrian who had been in the area, but Oscar would never see him again, as Adrian was currently examining the divine stone, puzzled and without new insights.Before long, Adrian left the courtyard and arrived outside Tyron’s place, smiling as he called out, “Mr. Tyron, are you here?”Tyron sensed Adrian’s presence and slowly walked out, his eyes looking somewhat tired. “Mr. Adrian, what brings you here? You seem quite excited.”Adrian, clearly pleased, replied, “I’ve come across something interesting
Tyron was initially taken aback by Adrian's proposal but soon understood the gravity of the situation. After some serious thought, he said, "You’re right. If we’re too soft, we’ll never catch the wolf. In that case, I’ll take action myself while you observe from the sidelines.""Alright," Adrian agreed, and the two reached an understanding.Meanwhile, within the Universe Alliance, a significant commotion had arisen. Rumors spread about terrifying disturbances in the outside world, where powerful figures had acted recklessly, only to be slaughtered by daemons. The daemons were infiltrating everywhere, causing widespread fear.Because Adrian had previously slain a few daemon generals, it seemed that the number of daemon generals and powerful daemons had increased. The killings continued unabated, with daemons acting like reapers, leaving no life in their wake. The Universe Alliance was naturally shocked by these developments."We must eradicate these daemons!" some cried."Yes! If t
