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
The dense and overwhelming aura essence in the residence created an intimidating atmosphere. Adrian and Tyron approached and knocked on the door.“Come in. I knew you two would come looking for me,” Bryn’s voice called from inside.Adrian and Tyron were slightly taken aback. “How did you know we were coming, sir? We didn’t mention anything to anyone. We just ran into a problem and thought to seek your counsel,” Adrian said respectfully.“You’ve just driven off Oscar, a daemon. The entire Universe Alliance is in an uproar because of you. How could I not know?” Bryn chuckled lightly. “Speak, what’s on your mind?” he asked candidly, fully aware of the commotion caused.Adrian, seeing no reason to withhold information, explained calmly, “Sir Bryn, we’ve discovered that Oscar hasn’t left yet. We suspect his intentions might be related to the Universe Alliance’s secret realm that is set to open in a few days.”Bryn’s brows furrowed at the mention of the secret realm. “That is indeed a t
Hearing this, Adrian frowned slightly. “It’s that dangerous? I imagine there will still be quite a few people willing to enter,” he said.Despite the risks, the allure of potential rewards often outweighed the danger. Many would be drawn to the ancient secret realm, seeking rare treasures that might outweigh the risk to their lives.“Sir, are there many treasures within the secret realm?” Adrian asked. Where there were treasures, there was always a chance worth taking. He wasn’t inclined to believe that luck would abandon him so soon, and with his skills and resources, he felt confident he could handle most challenges.Bryn was momentarily surprised, then smiled at Adrian. “There are indeed treasures, but you’ll need to survive to claim them. The ancient secret realm is highly perilous, so I advise you to think it through carefully.”He then added, “This time around, the realm is being opened in response to the daemons’ appearance. We hope to find any exceptional individuals who ca
Rescuing Purecastle might be challenging, but Adrian and Tyron’s coming to Universe Alliance would be for naught without mentioning it. Bryn looked at them with mild surprise. He had anticipated their purpose for coming here, and his expression grew serious as he listened to Adrian’s request. “I will report this matter to the leader of the Universe Alliance. I’ll give you an answer in three days. Since the secret realm will open in five days, it shouldn’t affect your entry,” he assured them.Adrian, disappointed by the outcome, nodded with resignation. “Thank you, sir. We’ll leave this matter to you.”Bryn’s expression showed a hint of helplessness. “I can’t make a decision on this, Adrian. Sending help isn’t as simple as deploying one or two individuals. If we send our experts, they might face ambushes from the enemy, which could create significant problems for the Universe Alliance. So, don’t get your hopes up too high.”Bryn’s warning was clear: if the leader of the Universe Al
Time seemed to drag on. After two days, Oscar had still not been captured. Despite intense search efforts, he seemed to have vanished completely, as if he had disappeared from the world. This left many people bewildered and frustrated. Oscar had managed to hide himself incredibly well.“Hmph! No matter how well you hide, I will find you!” Bryn’s expression was grim. As this incident occurred under his watch, he felt responsible for capturing Oscar.Despite the Universe Alliance’s barriers being closed off and impassable, Oscar had vanished. It was alarming how elusive he had become, especially since he had only recently appeared and had been defeated by Adrian.The search continued without success, and Adrian was troubled. Logically, Oscar should have been trapped within the Universe Alliance with no way to escape, yet he had disappeared without a trace. This situation was confusing.“Adrian, come to the main hall quickly. Deputy Leader Jermaine wishes to see you.” Bryn’s powerful
