The bat flapped its enormous black wings, creating an imposing barrier that made others hesitate. But for Adrian, it was different. His sole focus was to annihilate the creature before him, and he pressed on relentlessly.With a punch in one hand and sword energy in the other, he launched a direct attack at the bat. The sword energy pierced straight into the bat's skull, and in the next instant, his fist landed heavily on its massive body. The bat struggled to escape Adrian's lethal onslaught, but it was too late."Die!" Adrian shouted as he shattered the bat's soul.Nearby, the Violet Rain Bird was left utterly stunned. The bat was at the late Astral Stage, yet Adrian had defeated it effortlessly.“Noooo!” the bat roared in anguish as it crashed to the ground.Seizing the opportunity, Adrian swiftly sliced into the bat and extracted its inner core. He tossed the core to Tyron, saying, “Take this. Both of us are stronger than you, and the core isn't of much use to us."Tyron caug
Adrian’s expression turned cold as he declared, “No matter how strong the force, it won't stop my advance.” Standing beside him, Tyron said, “I’ll follow you wherever you go, Adrian.” His sharp gaze was filled with determination. In his mind, Adrian was his lucky star.Adrian smiled and lightly patted Tyron on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”Nearby, the Violet Rain Bird shared Tyron’s sentiment but chose to remain silent. The trio continued forward at a steady pace.Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed, sending chills down Tyron’s spine. The ground shook, and even Adrian found himself momentarily taken aback. Just then, a dark figure appeared ahead.“What is that?” Adrian asked, firing a surge of energy from his hand.The collision was intense, erupting in an instant. Before Adrian could react, a strange figure struck him.“What is this?” Adrian exclaimed, startled. He couldn’t identify what had collided with him. The creature resembled neither a human nor a g
A fierce wind swept through as Adrian punched the Human Ghoul, forcing it to retreat step by step. The creature's pupils burned with black flames, which soon shifted to purple. The Violet Rain Bird cried out, "Watch out! The Human Ghoul is evolving! Be careful, Master Adrian!"The bird's alarm revealed its understanding of the situation, and Adrian's expression grew colder. "Got it!" he replied."Can you handle it, Adrian? Do you need our help?" Tyron asked, his expression grim.The Violet Rain Bird's large eyes glinted with concern as it said, "Master Adrian should be fine, but we must stay vigilant. There could be stronger beings nearby." As they ventured deeper into the secret realm, the creatures they encountered grew more powerful. One wrong move could cost them their lives.Boom!The cave trembled as Adrian and the Human Ghoul clashed again. Adrian aimed to destroy the creature's skull with his relentless attacks.Suddenly, Tyron shouted, "Wait, Adrian! That’s not its w
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,
Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of
