Time has been peaceful for Adam.
It has been more than a week since they left the summer palace City. And there were no considerable incidents along the way until now. The only regret he was having right now was the fact that he could not help Ryan to find anything about his family.
“You are thinking again,” Adam focused on the magic mirror in his hands with the unsatisfied voice of the Empress.Rather than worry, this unsatisfied tone of her voice was enough to make him feel unaccomplished. He was not sure when, but recently she was using this tone when she was not happy with him. And there
“My lord, they attacked us along the way,”Adam tried his best to calm his mind. After using the healing spell on the wound, he was already feeling the draining in his mind. Still, he continued listening to the story while taking out some herbs from his system storage to create an antidote.
Thomas felt amazed looking at their busy camp.Even though it was not harmonious as an organised military camp, it was still working according to the Command of Young Master Adam. He could smell the aromatic scent of herbs from where females were making the antidote for the poison and the drug.
Karina followed everyone through the dark forest.Their path was decorated with dead human bodies. And from the dim light of the few torches they carried, she could see the blood flowing out of them. Lord Adam had killed them about half an hour ago. She felt nothing much passing through them. They were the one to attack their
David sat on the fallen tree bunk.There were around another fifty meters to the tree line of the forest. This was the first time Lord Assigned him as a guard. And others were already spread through the camp. There was an unspoken tension in the air. This was the first time their entire camp left without a leader. Still, he l
Adam felt dissatisfied.He was outsmarted. This was the first time since he began his journey with the system he got caught up in this kind of situation. Even when he got wounded during the battle against the Lich; it was because of the betrayal of his own kind.However, this time it was because of someone better than him. In the end, it was he who appeared victorious in this battle, but it would have been a disaster if he was not fast enough. He had his abilities and advantage over humans, but if he was a normal human, the outcome would have been different.And he had to thank Mr Thomas for his intelligence; he had left a portion of men to deal with the bandit camp and had led the others here. Otherwise, Adam knew that even with him here, things would have been very much different. However, this time he
Ryan followed Lord Adam through the forest.There were few other men who came with them. His granddaughter seemed to be excited, but as usual, she was silent. However, recently he has seen her talk much more. Especially with lady Shana and Lord Alex. These young people were near to her age, and she was much more open to them than to others. Sometimes he thought she might think Lord Alex was like her brother, who he was hoping to find tonight.There was a pang of slight guilt in Ryan’s heart looking at Lord Adam, who was leading them. He was their leader, but now he was here guiding them to a bandit camp.“My lord, if you are busy, I can go with others,” There were other men who were travelling to the Bandit Camp.They were carrying the
Adam thought for a moment.He was content, yet there was a big dissatisfaction in his heart.He could still hear the cries of the innocent people. Even though many of them were not complaining now, he knew those deaths were his fault. Even though he learned from his mistakes, he knew he couldn’t correct what he had done.What satisfied him was the system. It had finally decided that his mission, ‘a follower’s wish,’ was complete. For a weird reason, helping Ryan to find his only other living family member completed the mission. He looked at the system panel showing the rewards.- Long term mission - A Follower’s Wish- mission target - Followers of the host Wish to get stronger<
“Amazing.”Despite her words, the older girl saw several teardrops in the eyes of her little sister, and she didn’t say anything about that. The story was sweet and sour. She picked her up and held her against her chest. Their mother and father were talking with some other families in the distance. Many pilgrims and worshipers walked around them, and some were telling the same story as her. It was the story of a legend. “That is the story of the Great Blood Wolf.” The older girl ended the story, holding her younger sister’s hand in front of the massive statue of their Grand Empress and Her Consort. The Blood Wolf. “Oh….” Her little sister looked elated, looking at the massive statue of the couple. The greatest rulers of the world. She knew her sister would ask about this story again and again, but she was happy to see her little tail swinging in excitement. “Are you happy?” “Yes. I am very happy. I want to be as strong as the Grand Empress in the future.” “Of Course, you
“Grandfather?” The old man shook when he heard this call. He wanted to strangle this thing to death, but first, he needed an answer. “Why did you do that? Why did you kill my Grandson?” His face looked tired and battered. Time was not a concept for him, and he hoped to see his Grandchild someday. He came here because he almost felt the presence of his little boy. However, it wasn’t him. He looked at Chaos. He remembered the day when he first saw the two-headed infant drifting across the universe. Their first meeting wasn’t a good one. The first time he met him, this kid attacked him and even injured him. However, he treated Chaos as a child and even adopted him into the family. He grew up together with his only Grandson. They were great friends and family. His Grandson never treated Chaos badly. That was the reason he permitted Chaos to go with his Grandson when he left to become the first Guardian of the universe. He was the one who even granted this power to his Grandson on
Adam crashed onto the ground with full force. He didn’t want to slow down when he saw the hideous figure standing on the beach. He knew what it was. He gritted his teeth to ignore the head-splitting pain that came with the memories. He was finally looking at the nemesis of this world; Chaos. Adam wished he could end this thing with one blow. Because it was something that shouldn’t exist. He was betting the lives of too many people, and the life of the Empress. If he failed right now, he would fail the entire world forever. His punch landed inches away from his target, but that thing moved several metres away with ease. The ground shattered under his blow, and the foul stench of the chaos entered his nose. He finally understood why the world and Mahisha failed to access this ground. Because it was contaminated by Chaos. He already created armour around his body and coated his sword with the aura of the Abyss. He didn’t have a reason to drag this. ‘This is not going to be
“Still nothing, commander.” “What exactly is going on?” Morga Steelbeard was lost. Not in the sea, but in his own thoughts. After two long months in the sea, they finally found their destination. As the second fleet commander of the Crimson Empire, he had an army of his own. Although it was still not at the level of Sakura’s fleet with twelve warships and two supply ships; his seven-shipped fleet was the second powerhouse of the sea. The land was just ahead of them, but they failed to find anything even after searching for two days. The western continent looked desolate and abandoned. There were not even large animals. This was too alarming for him. They saw birds and small rodents, but nothing bigger than that. The forest looked untainted for generations. He didn’t even think about sending a landing party. The risk was too much. ‘What exactly is happening?’ They passed through the so-called barrier about a week back, and there was nothing in between the northern continent an
“We should leave!” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Adam smiled, looking at the Empress. He wondered how many changes she made within the day to the castle. “I changed the 12th floor entirely. You should go and see.” “I will, Your Majesty.” He was sure it would be a combination of blue, shades of blue, and some gold, white and silver, and more shades of blue. There was nothing more to think, but he knew way better than to voice it out. ‘It is a good thing I have Mahisha to help her.’ He wouldn’t get any time to train his powers if he had to change the Abyss castle by himself. He sometimes felt the Empress was playing with the castle because it could be changed based on her simple thoughts. He didn’t care much at all. As long as she was happy with it. When she came here for the first time, she had a lot of complaints about the dull colours and the bad choice of material. In the end, he had no choice but to let her handle the decorations and colours as she pleased. “Not now. We have
Adam moved fast and landed in the area he saw the camps. He simply nodded at the people who started greeting him,He already found Alex, and he didn’t seem to be alright. “My Lord!!”Adam nodded at David before entering the tent. Already, there were several healers around the bed, including Mila. ‘Not good.’He felt Alex’s breathing wasn’t stable. “What happened?”The people made way for him with ease.“My Lord. There seemed to be a weird poison.”“Poison?”He didn’t smell any poison, but he realised Alex was unstable. Someone had removed the clothes from his upper body. His veins could be seen on his chest and there was a back lump on his chest. The wound was gone, but he wasn't getting any better. “Hm… Divine power.”He didn’t expect the enemy to use such a weapon. If it was before, he would have had a hard time dealing with this, but not anymore. The divine power was just another source of power restricted to this world. Although it was the most powerful, it wasn’t powerful en
“Are you alright?”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Adam sat with the Empress, looking at the two girls playing on the beach.To him, knowing the truth didn’t hurt much. Rather, he felt relieved to know the truth. ‘Am I angry?’He couldn’t say no. He was angry. If he didn’t lose his father, things would have been much different for them. Maybe… Just Maybe… His mother could have survived. Of course, it would have changed many aspects of his life, including moving to the West Coast, but he wished his mother to be alive. However, knowing the Church of Light might be behind his father’s death didn’t sting as he thought it would. As for how he knew his father was dead; that was because of what he saw in the underground of the church. There were hundreds of dead bodies being held there, draining the liquids from the,He didn’t know what was the exact process, but he saw the so-called Life potion coming out of that facility. Besides, Helen confirmed this matter. ‘If not for Amy and Zafira, I would ha
“We have to run!” Oliver heard someone yelling, but he didn’t know what to do. “He followed the orders of the king, coming here to destroy the Summer Palace city. The reason was to simply buy them more time. According to the information they received, the army was led by the infamous three Generals of the Crimson Empire. Since the main army was already divided into three, there shouldn’t be enough power to fight against twenty 10th-tier powerhouses at the same time. Besides, the Crimson Empire army should have more than enough Dwarven machines to face them. However, there shouldn't be enough time to move them for a defensive battle or to mount them on a wall. In a sense, there was no way this city could stand against them. What really worried him was the results. They were doing all these things based on the assumption that the owner of the taboo name wasn’t as powerful as they said. However, he didn’t understand why they were underestimating the revenge of the Crimson Empi
Alex floated toward the north using his magic. He wasn’t as weak as he once was when he passed through the Summer Palace city long ago. However, it was a lie to say that he wasn’t afraid. Their original battle plan was to separate their enemies by attacking the different parts of the Blood Baron Kingdom at the same time. Also, by using a portion of their units and the help of the Kingdom of Boria, they should have been able to delay the reinforcements from the other five kingdoms. Lady Helen was to show herself at the Dwarven mountain to create a distraction and intimidation. That wasn’t all. He was the one that took out the enemy scouts near the borders of the Crimson Empire with ease. Then he asked for the help of Lady Helen to take on the Wind Hold city to prevent any news from leaking to the rest of the city. He knew their enemies would realise the threat once the army was divided and Lady Helen fortified the Dwarven mountain. It all went as they planned, but he realised h
