"Don't worry, there's no one else around. Go ahead and transform. We won’t laugh at you, even if you end up looking silly," Adrian said.His teasing seemed to provoke the Fire Unicorn, causing its eyes to widen in frustration. Roaring defiantly, it floated in mid-air, clearly offended by the suggestion that it might look ugly. In an instant, its small form vanished from Adrian's shoulder, and a massive figure took its place.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise at the transformation. The once small Fire Unicorn had morphed into an enormous, imposing beast resembling a legendary gluttonous creature.The Violet Rain Bird stared in disbelief. "How...How is this possible? Could it be a hybrid? Is that why its two forms are so different? But that doesn’t make sense either!"As soon as the Violet Rain Bird voiced this theory, the Fire Unicorn glared at it with giant eyes, clearly displeased.Meanwhile, Adrian fell silent. He hadn’t expected this at all. While the Violet Rain Bird’s theory
"Alright, enough talk," Adrian said, fixing his sharp gaze on the Fire Unicorn. "Why don’t you shrink your form a bit? That huge body of yours draws too much attention."After all, there were always greedy ones eager to steal what didn’t belong to them. He didn’t want anyone setting their sights on the Fire Unicorn.The Fire Unicorn blinked its large eyes, unsure why Adrian was asking this, but obediently complied. In an instant, its enormous form shrank down, returning to a smaller, more mischievous version. Though it still looked somewhat fierce, there was a playful and gentle side to its new appearance. It was an odd yet charming combination.Perched on Adrian’s shoulder, the Fire Unicorn clutched the flame the former had given it earlier. It felt comforted by the flame’s warmth. This connection was why it had chosen to submit to Adrian. Without it, the unicorn would have fought to the bitter end rather than follow him willingly.As the group pressed forward, they passed through
Adrian looked at the small creature before him and smiled. The Fire Unicorn was quite endearing in its current state, especially with its eagerness to prove him wrong. "Alright then! I believe you. Which direction should we go?"Both Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were taken aback by Adrian’s trust in the newly tamed Fire Unicorn. While it was unlikely that the creature would lie, its small and fragile appearance made them skeptical.“‘Is this little guy just trying to stir up some excitement?” they said.Adrian’s sharp gaze cut through their doubts. "I’ll trust him this time. I don’t think this little one would lie easily. After all, it’s been here for over a hundred years."A hundred years?Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were shocked. They hadn’t expected the Fire Unicorn to have been in this place for a century.Finally recovering from its surprise, the Violet Rain Bird nodded in understanding. "A hundred years isn’t unusual for unicorns. To them, a century passes in the blin
The Fire Unicorn appeared a bit anxious, making soft, eager sounds as if trying to reassure Adrian that it could indeed lead the way.Adrian smiled affectionately and said, “It's okay, little one. Even if we don’t find it, it’s not your fault. Just keep going."The tiny Fire Unicorn nodded and continued to guide them.Before they realized it, the group had covered a significant distance and found themselves deep within the forest. As they pressed on, they sensed the increasing strength of the beasts in the area. One wrong step could easily lead them into grave danger.Adrian surveyed the surroundings cautiously and felt a strange, pulsating energy in the distance. Excitedly, the Fire Unicorn waved its little hoof toward the far end of the forest, seemingly pointing to the location of the Prism Stone.Adrian was taken aback. “Are you saying the stone is up ahead?”The Fire Unicorn nodded eagerly.Adrian paused for a moment, surprised. Beside him, the Violet Rain Bird looked equal
Adrian stood firm. “Since we’ve come this far, we have to bring it back. Otherwise, what’s the point of coming here?”Giving up wasn’t an option for him. His entire mission hinged on acquiring the Prism Stone and the Phoenix Tree. With the stone now within reach, he wasn’t backing down.Seeing his resolve, the Violet Rain Bird and the others knew there was no changing his mind.The Fire Unicorn, watching Adrian, sensed something profound in the latter. It lifted a tiny hoof, as if encouraging Adrian to return safely.Adrian chuckled. “Haha, little one, you’ve just joined us. Stay here and wait for me. You’re strong, but that beast ahead is more than you can handle.”Tyron asked calmly, “Adrian, how confident are you?”He trusted Adrian, but without a solid plan, charging forward would be reckless.Adrian’s gaze was cold yet determined. “I’m not completely sure, but with the right strategy, I should be fine.”His response left the group stunned, unsure of what he had in mind. Se
Adrian continued working on the formation while his companions watched in awe. With heavy hearts, they watched as he completed the spatial teleportation formation. He then carefully set up a concealed formation to hide its presence, ensuring no one could detect it.Tyron, amazed by Adrian’s ingenuity, spoke up, “Adrian, stay vigilant and be careful.”Adrian smiled, reassuring them. “Don’t worry, I value my life too much to be reckless.” He chuckled softly. “You should all retreat for now. I’ll be with you shortly.”With a determined look, Adrian finalized the spatial formation. Though the distance ahead spanned several hundred meters, the teleportation formation gave him confidence that he could escape if pursued by a powerful beast.Suddenly, thunderous roars echoed in the distance. The terrifying sound was a clear warning from the beast, urging Adrian and his companions to leave or face dire consequences.Adrian’s expression grew serious. The creature was indeed formidable, and
If Adrian let his guard down for even a moment, the beast could easily end his life. His expression remained cold as he cautiously approached the monstrous creature.Despite Adrian's careful movements, the beast sensed the unusual energy drawing near. Its massive, bulging eyes locked onto Adrian, who suddenly vanished from sight.In the blink of an eye, Adrian found himself beneath the creature's gigantic paw. As the beast continued to move, Adrian’s sharp gaze remained fixed in the distance.There, glowing brilliantly, was the radiant Prism Stone. Not far from it stood the Phoenix Tree. The sight of these treasures stirred excitement within Adrian, but he knew acquiring them wouldn’t be easy.The Prism Stone pulsated with immense power, sending ripples through the air. Sensing his opportunity, Adrian’s expression hardened. After assessing the beast’s overwhelming presence, Adrian realized this would be a tough challenge.In a swift move, he released a surge of energy toward the P
"Rrraaaggh!!"The beast trembled, letting out a furious roar that echoed through the air. Adrian was surprised to see the Prism Stone emitting a strange energy as if warning nearby creatures to stay away.Intrigued, Adrian wondered, ‘Could the Prism Stone have a life of its own? If so, taking it might be more complicated than I had anticipated.’The beast also sensed the essence of the Prism Stone, but it wasn’t deterred. Its only desire was to seize the stone, and it charged toward it without hesitation.Suddenly, the Prism Stone flared with a terrifying brilliance, unleashing a surge of energy at the approaching beast. The beast, however, showed no fear. It casually raised a paw to counter the stone’s attack.When their powers collided, a massive shockwave exploded through the air. Adrian watched in disbelief. He hadn't expected the Prism Stone’s strength to rival that of a perfected Divine beast.Meanwhile, the Fire Unicorn and its companions felt the distant disturbance. Thei
