Adam made his way back to the old Church; he needed to be ready to face whatever he would meet in the lost church of shadow. There was a Horned panther in the area as he knew, but Adam couldn’t forget Nina went toward the ruins too. Hopefully, whatever related to the curse would not be hiding in the ruins. After all, it once belonged to a true god.However, there was something that made Adam confused. Wolf God was a true God, and Adam could draw a small portion of his power to cast the purification spell. He felt how powerful a true god was. Therefore, how did a church of shadows, where Wolf God was the absolute authority, became a ruin?What happened that made a true god lose his footing in the Crimson Empire? And what was the connection between the Crimson Empire and the Wolf God? But all that could wait for now. Now was the time to be ready for the next mission.He only has two combat-related abilities, but even with both combined, he was no match for a horned panther. The only opti
Two wolves ran all morning through the forest before the Grey wolf king stopped for some water near a stream. Adam realised when he was in his wolf form, he had endless energy for running. Feeling all the muscles in his body working together to provide energy to slip through the forest was a great and relaxing experience for him. And It was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.However, even for once, he didn’t forget where he was running to and why. Adam didn’t know how long his guide would help him either. Still, for the time being, he enjoyed the feeling of freedom and happiness away from the prying eyes and questionable gazes that followed him in the West Coast city.After a bit of water and rest, Grey wolf king started running again. This time, it didn’t stop for any food. And Adam had nothing to complain about. He had his breakfast at the village and he drank a mouth full of water from the stream. As for the slight Hunger, he was feeling, well, that was nothing new to
‘How can this be?’ Adam felt more worried than ever.The fight showed that whatever fought with the Horned panther was alone. Whatever it was, it’s stronger than the horned panther. And most importantly, he did not know what came to the ruins to kill the horned panther.Adam fell into thought. ‘Now, I am here and my mission is complete, it’s better, I get out of here,’ although he wanted to study the Church, with unknown threats lurking around, it was better to run. He valued his life more. However, he realised luck was not that good against the devious system.- Secondary Mission – Find and enter the inner sanctum of the lost Church of Shadow- Mission objective – There was an inner sanctum in every Church of shadow. The host is advised to find it within three days.- Mission reward – General points and additional reward based on the performance- Mission failure – Reduction of one attribute by half‘But there is nothing valuable here,’ he highly doubted that people of the Westwood
- Authentication success (Upgrade)- Medicine and Herbs (Basic) -> Medicine and Herbs (intermediate)- Related attribute check – Spirit - initiating upgrade – Within body limit (Authentication success)- Spirit (D- -> D) - Spirit (D -> D+)‘Fuck,’ he clutched his head as the head-splitting pain hit him. The only thing he could do was to lean against the broken wall. Although Spirit upgrade gave him a massive mental capacity, it was still within D level. However, the amount of knowledge added to his brain was too much for him to handle.The dire wolf that was lying in the pool of blood looked weirdly at the unknown animal that was acting strangely. If she could, she would have already attacked it.Adam was absorbing too much information to pay attention to anything. He limped his weak body to the ground, using the wall as support.‘Hope it will not kill me after I heal it,’ Adam had his own wishful thought. Still, he was not taking this gamble for nothing. At his wolf form, he was th
Bit by bit, the medicinal paste took the form he was hoping for. And weirdly enough, Adam found himself so good at controlling the medicinal herbs to proper proportions and achieve his desired level of medicine. Initially, he found himself to be a bit rusty with only his dagger and rocks. However, over time, his actions became so natural, making it a very smooth process.After grinding the herb paste, he approached the mother wolf while ignoring the little one’s protest. However, this time, the mother dire wolf kept her silent. Maybe because she finally had some water given to her by Adam or she realised that there was no use in resisting against him.Before applying the medicine, Adam had to check the wounds and made sure there was no serious bone fracture underneath them.It was painful for the wolf, but he couldn’t give any sedative while the body was too weak. It may never wake up again after sleeping. Therefore, naturally, he had to ignore the painful whimper from the mother wolf
The next morning, Adam felt the hem of his robe being dragged. He smiled and let the cub have some fun while keeping his eyes close for the time being. Today, he had to find the inner sanctum, or by tomorrow night, he might lose half of one of his attributes.Mother dire Wolf looked much better this morning. Although she was still lying on her side, she had finished the water given by Adam and took a bite out of the meat.Adam didn’t hesitate to give her more water and replace her meat supply with a bit of fresh stock. And finally, he was running out of his own food stock as well. Either he had to cook the Python or hunt something else. The next problem was the food for the Dire wolf. She would be in better shape within the next two days, and Adam assumed she would regain the usual appetite by then. And after that, panther meat could only sustain her for a few more days.Adam’s new ability to diagnose and treat illnesses was not inferior to many potion makers, except his medicine didn
Adam carefully observed the solid rock wall. He needed to find a way to get in to complete the mission. However, there were no mechanisms or any other visible thing even to clarify that there was something behind this wall.He examined the engraved wolf head out of helplessness; it was similar to the one that he wore on his neck. Adam took out his mother’s necklace and compared them carefully. The Wolf head in the wall was more complex and had an advanced pattern in it, but it was mostly because of the size difference.‘How am I supposed to open this?’ Adam couldn’t find anything that will give him a hint. ‘Maybe,’ a sudden idea popped into his head. He took the shadow blade and made a small cut in his hand and placed it on the wall. This idea came from how he bonded with the Shadow blade. Which was now in perfect resonance with him.‘I am right,’ a sense of achievement appeared in his heart as he saw the pattern in the wolf head start to glow. And then, the sense of worry hit him
In the West Coast city, there was a silent search still going on about the Wolf God’s believer, Adam. Although the news was not in the public yet and had not reached the palace, they already whispered it in the streets and dark corners. Still, no information has come out.Only Han’s couple were the worried ones about the misfortune of Adam. They also kept their silence, hoping he would not fall into this silent storm.…..In a giant mansion located in the Magicians district, a dignified looking middle-aged man sat in a chair. The place looked like some meeting room, and a few other people were sitting around the table, but it was dark inside. The light was only ample enough to barely see each other’s figures.“Did anyone find anything?” The dignified man had a deep and commanding voice that made others comply with his words.He didn’t look much intelligent, but he had got things done for the family. Especially since he was not alone.“He is somewhere in Westwood, my lord. A few days a
“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
