Adrian's longsword struck the puppets with terrifying force, tearing them apart instantly. The iron-forged chest of one puppets split wide open, leaving the crowd in shock, frozen for a moment."Impossible!" Oscar cried out in horror, his voice weak against the terrifying scene unfolding before him.Adrian smirked. "Impossible? Who do you think you are?" His sword radiated power, shooting straight into the sky.With a deafening crash, one of the puppets was completely destroyed. The crowd stared in disbelief, horrified by Adrian's overwhelming strength. No one had expected him to be so powerful.A group of onlookers watched in fear, unable to believe what they were seeing."Kill him! I refuse to believe you're that terrifying!" Oscar shouted, his eyes full of killing intent. As one puppet fell, another charged forward with wild fury.The crowd trembled, stunned by the intensity of the battle. Despite losing one puppet, Oscar refused to give up. The next puppet charged recklessly,
Oscar sneered coldly, confident in his position.But Adrian’s voice cut through the tension, icy and calm. "Do you really think you've already won?"Oscar looked at him with disdain, convinced Adrian was bluffing. At this stage, hadn't all the trump cards been revealed?The crowd watched in suspense, sweat forming on their brows as they believed Adrian's defeat was inevitable.Suddenly, Adrian’s gaze sharpened. "I knew you weren’t simple, and I’ll admit your methods are impressive. But this ends now."As soon as he spoke, the surrounding air filled with sharp, piercing sounds.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...It was like thousands of arrows had been shot at once. From the void, countless divine swords appeared, streaking across the sky and converging to form a massive sword formation.The crowd was stunned, eyes wide with disbelief."How... How is this possible?" someone muttered.The mere sight of the sword formation sent shivers down their spines."My sword won't stop trembling!"
The puppets, forged from profound iron, were incredibly durable, and Oscar controlled five of them with ease. He was clearly at the pinnacle of puppet mastery."Rrrraaaggh!"The puppets came to life, their fierce roars turning into devastating attacks. Adrian could only watch as his swords clashed against the puppets' bodies.Clang! Clang! Clang!It was useless. The swords barely left a mark.Oscar, seeing this, burst into mocking laughter. "Hahaha! Now you understand the power of my puppets. Do you really think your swords can defeat me? Even with all those swords, what difference does it make? Do you think you're suddenly invincible?"As Oscar taunted Adrian, the latter’s expression darkened, his brows furrowing. It was clear Adrian was running out of options. If this continued, countless forces—iron riders, or otherwise—would be destroyed by the puppets’ relentless assault. The situation was growing desperate; even heaven and earth might be unable to save him.Adrian was dist
Oscar knew he hadn’t made any moves, so the only possible source of the disturbance had to be Adrian. The crowd, already suspicious of him, began to point fingers, assuming he was using some dark art once more. This only further sullied his already terrible reputation.“You bastard! You’re framing me! How despicable!” Oscar roared, enraged. He drew a long black blade and charged at Adrian."That’s the Dark Spirit Blade!" an elderly man with long hair exclaimed in shock.From a distance, another white-haired elder added in astonishment, “Legend says the Dark Spirit Blade must be soaked in human blood for forty-nine days and can only be forged in a place of concentrated resentment!”The crowd gasped collectively. Oscar's collection of sinister weapons was staggering, and many were visibly frightened.A terrifying killing intent flashed through Adrian’s eyes. “Hmph! Despicable!”The Dark Spirit Blade was indeed formidable. Even from a distance, Adrian could feel its malicious energy
As the crowd discussed in hushed voices, an elderly man observed the scene with a discerning eye. "Adrian may appear straightforward, but beneath that lies something terrifying. How long has this formation been in place? It’s designed to disorient his enemies," he remarked with astonishment."Such precision and power. How could anyone defeat him?" the crowd murmured in agreement, awe filling their voices.At that moment, the puppets surrounding Adrian began trembling violently. Adrian, despite being encircled, fought alone, unable to land a single blow on Oscar. The battle grew more chaotic, intensifying by the second.Oscar hadn’t anticipated Adrian’s ferocity. In his mind, Adrian was a mere obstacle—difficult but not unbeatable. He had assumed the sword formation was Adrian's last move. But when Oscar realized there was also an illusion formation combined with the sword array, his confidence wavered. The combination was overwhelming."I refuse to believe I’ll die by your hand!" O
Adrian suddenly vanished, only to reappear from a different direction, his sword flashing with terrifying power. He looked as menacing as a daemon. "Sorry, but it seems you've misunderstood," his voice echoed.Oscar hesitated, caught off guard. Before he could react, Adrian’s sword slashed through the air with incredible speed. The attack was astonishing. Oscar struggled to grasp what was happening. He had already tried to strike Adrian, confident he could kill him but had failed again.Black energy formed in Oscar's hands as he tried to counter. But Adrian gave him no chance. His sword surged forward relentlessly.Oscar was completely bewildered. How had Adrian appeared so suddenly? Why hadn’t he noticed earlier? And what had Adrian done to his puppets? The painful expressions on their faces felt unnerving.Crack!In the distance, one of the puppets trembled violently as the energy in the air surged, and its body shattered. At the same time, Adrian sensed a wave of terrifying ene
Adrian’s killing intent surged as he declared in a booming voice, "I can't possibly let a daemon like you live!" His words were filled with murderous resolve.Leaving Oscar alive would only bring disaster, so without hesitation, Adrian thrust his sword through the air, aiming directly for Oscar’s heart. The strike was as swift and unstoppable as lightning, leaving the onlookers in stunned silence.Though Adrian spoke with certainty, the crowd remained tense, sharing the same unspoken doubts. Could Adrian really be this ruthless? Killing someone like Oscar, who was tied to an evil cult, seemed justifiable, yet his identity as a daemon hadn't been confirmed. Taking his life could bring unforeseen consequences to everyone present.The onlookers exchanged uneasy glances, quietly astonished.Boom!Oscar’s eyes burned with hatred as Adrian’s sword came down with crushing force.“No!" Oscar roared, but it was too late.Adrian’s blade mercilessly pierced Oscar’s heart, and the latter au
In the distance, Tyron watched the scene unfold, his eyes wide with shock. He quickly approached Adrian and exclaimed, “You’re incredible, Mr. Adrian! You forced him to flee. But we’re likely to face trouble because of this.”Adrian's expression remained as cold as ice. "No worries. He’s still part of the Universe Alliance. Once the alliance discovers he’s a daemon, they’ll hunt him down. Even if he tries to target us, he’ll think twice.” His tone was calm and untroubled.Tyron smiled slightly. As a daemon himself, he knew how dangerous and strange Oscar was. Despite the threat Oscar posed, Adrian seemed unfazed. After all, Oscar was now an enemy not just of Tyron but of the entire Universe Alliance.“Our goal for today has been achieved, even though he managed to escape. But he did leave behind one of his third-tier puppets. This puppet is indeed remarkable,” Adrian said, his gaze sharp as he examined the puppet left behind.Tyron, observing the puppet too, was intrigued. He wonde
