Oscar was fully intent on escaping as he transformed into a blood-red streak of light and tore through the air at breakneck speed. Then, one of his puppets trembled violently.“Watch out!” Adrian exclaimed. He grabbed Tyron and fled from the scene.Suddenly, the puppet exploded. The duo never expected Oscar to sacrifice his beloved puppet to give him a chance to flee. The explosion even created a massive crater.At that moment, Adrian and Tyron appeared in the distance. Tyron was astonished yet relieved. If Adrian were just a moment slower, they would have gotten caught in the devastating blast.He turned to Adrian and said, “Thanks for that. I would’ve died if it weren’t for you.”Adrian’s gaze turned cold as he said, “That bastard. I’ll kill him the next time I see him.”Although Oscar had several escape methods up his sleeves, he had suffered severe injuries. Hence, Adrian would have an easier time killing him.Tyron smiled, fully understanding Adrian’s intentions. Among thos
Adrian and Tyron tried catching some beasts as they traveled along but realized most were too weak and dim-witted. Even if they caught one, it proved useless. Meanwhile, other beasts exuded an overwhelming aura that made breathing difficult. It left the duo with no way to approach.The duo felt helpless when faced with such creatures. They knew these powerful beasts were far beyond their reach. The beasts would undoubtedly crush them if they dared approach.Ultimately, the duo traveled for a considerable distance. Before them lay another dense forest. Adrian sighed in frustration and remarked, “I can sense a beast ahead.”Tyron responded, “That seems to be an Astral beast. We can’t challenge it.”Adrian nodded, well aware of the situation. Although he had reached the Astral Stage, he was only slightly stronger than creatures in this primordial secret realm.Tyron suggested, “Let’s keep searching. We should keep moving forward if it doesn’t work. There should be various spiritual
At that moment, Adrian and Tyron's gazes were sharp and cold as they watched terrifying forces erupting in the distant void. The sight was overwhelming.Boom! Roar!A furious roar echoed through the sky, followed by a beam of purple light that struck a towering ancient tree nearby with immense force."What's going on? Have we been discovered?" Tyron asked, startled and immediately on high alert.Adrian, however, remained calm, though slightly surprised. "Don't worry. It's just the aftermath of a distant battle reaching us by accident. Nothing to be overly concerned about," he replied coolly, his gaze still sharp.Tyron was surprised by Adrian's composure, aware of how dangerous the situation really was for them. The only thing they knew for sure was that the distant beasts were far beyond their ability to handle. Charging in recklessly would be foolish.The two supreme ancient beasts they saw appeared to be at the peak of the Astral Stage. If they unleashed their full power, it w
Crash!A terrifying tremor shattered everything, leaving everyone in shock. No one had anticipated such a violent disturbance, and for Adrian and Tyron, it was almost unbelievable. The two supreme ancient beasts clashed fiercely, seemingly with no regard for their own lives.Boom!Another deafening collision erupted as the massive Violet Rain Bird slammed into the Ivy Electro Serpent. The sheer force of the Violet Rain Bird relentlessly pressured the Ivy Electro Serpent, causing it great discomfort.Fury ignited in the Ivy Electro Serpent's eyes as bolts of azure lightning shot from its body, soaring into the sky before crashing down onto the Violet Rain Bird. The colossal creatures attacked each other without mercy, their enormous bodies covered in wounds. One misstep could lead to disaster for either of them.In the distance, Adrian and Tyron watched in horror. These monstrous beings were clearly beyond the capability of ordinary people. Their terrifying power surpassed anything
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?
The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?Adrian went up to the office.***CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.That was Samantha Cowell.Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.The man was Devin Williams,
