The Crimson Blood Python didn’t care about anything else. It only wanted to kill the humans in front of it. The snake unleashed all its remaining power, looking more fearsome than ever. Its massive body loomed over the group, clearly intent on crushing them. The python knew its energy was depleting, and if it didn’t act soon, it would face certain death.From a distance, Adrian watched with a faint smile. "This Crimson Blood Python is smarter than it looks. Its strategy is working."Tyron nodded as he realized what was happening. "It's using its massive body to crush them. The human physique can't compare to a beast's. This way, it has the advantage."As they observed, the python’s huge body brutally slammed down on the eight men. One by one, the apprentices spat blood, severely injured and thrown backward. Their faces turned ghostly pale.They were furious. None had expected the python to use such a brute-force tactic. The difference between a human’s and a beast’s physique was im
The Heaven's Act apprentices skillfully wielded their swords, revealing their expertise in swordsmanship. They had brought numerous spare swords to ensure they wouldn't be left defenseless if one was lost during their formation.From a distance, Adrian and Tyron watched the scene unfold. The long swords flew out and exploded mid-air.Seeing this, Adrian sneered. "These guys are shameless, relying on cheap tactics. Even if the Crimson Blood Python has bones of steel, it won't hold out for long."Tyron smirked. "Let them keep at it for now. We'll deal with them soon. As underhanded as they are, defeating the snake will prove their capability."Adrian nodded in agreement.The eight apprentices grew more excited with each clash. Despite their swords breaking, they were slowly wearing down the Crimson Blood Python, inflicting severe injuries. Their ultimate goal was clear: to claim the snake's inner core. After all, the core was incredibly valuable, and obtaining it would significantly
Adrian smiled lightly and said, "It’s nothing. If they’re so eager to be defeated, I’ll give them the chance." And by "chance," he meant he would dismantle their barrier, allowing the Crimson Blood Python to annihilate the crowd in front of him. It was a truly shocking turn of events.Rumble...Terrifying vibrations echoed from afar, catching everyone’s attention. Adrian’s expression turned cold. At this point, fate would decide the outcome—who would live and who would fall—but he and Tyron were ready to act. Adrian was determined to claim the snake’s core.“What’s happening? This is terrifying!”The powerful forces crashed down on the eight apprentices, leaving them severely injured and burning with pain. The Crimson Blood Python showed no mercy."Roar!!" The snake’s massive claws struck with brutal force, sending the crowd into a panic. Its overwhelming power bore down on them."Deacon!" one of the Heaven's Act apprentices shouted in fury.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The snake’s
To the Crimson Blood Python, eliminating these four individuals was crucial. Otherwise, it would face great humiliation. The snake’s power ripped through the sky, and Madi vanished behind it, while the other four kept its attention from the front.“Heart of the Sword!” Madi’s long sword seemed to merge with him, launching a fierce assault on the snake. The snake’s blood and energy surged as it reacted to Madi’s overwhelming power. Madi, having reached advanced stages of strength before, was now even more formidable.“Roar!” the snake bellowed.“Kill it, Madi!” one of the men shouted, with the others joining the battle. “Die!” They roared as they charged, trying to distract the Crimson Blood Python.The snake’s eyes burned with rage as its beastly power surged.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Gale-like forces roared.To the snake, these attackers were mere pests seeking their death, and it was determined to make them pay for their audacity. The four men fought desperately, charging for
Seeing the scene unfold, Adrian’s gaze turned cold. “Let’s go!” he said.Whoosh! Whoosh!Two sharp sounds cut through the air.“It’s you!” After slaying the Crimson Blood Python, Madi looked up at Adrian, his eyes reddening as he quickly recognized him. His expression hardened. “Are you seeking death, Adrian? Don’t think that just because you killed a daemon general, I won’t dare to kill you.” His immense power surged, radiating in all directions.“Why bother? You’re indeed very powerful, but if you make me your enemy, you might regret it,” Adrian said indifferently, his tone devoid of courtesy.Madi's gaze grew icy. Adrian’s arrogance was unmistakable, and if he continued like this, he was clearly courting his demise.“Heart of the Sword!” Madi’s terrifying power ripped through the heavens. His long sword shattered the void, striking like a giant azure dragon, brimming with immense strength.Tyron, observing from a distance, looked slightly worried. The Heaven's Act's genius, M
Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend
“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos
After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?
