“Sigh,”
‘Ouch, why did I sigh?’
It was painful for him to even breathe.
The amount of damage that happened was unimaginable. Adam thought death was better than this agony.
Every time the carriage shook, he felt his body would fall apart. This resulted from the transformation. All the smaller wounds that didn’t heal were still there. Since the Rapid regeneration was inactive, the only choice was to use herbs.
“I hope we make it in time.”
He had a promise to keep, and they had a wagon full of dead bodies of their companions. It was a substantial burden to him. He looked at the system messages again, trying to figure out wha
“Elena!” Jane reached out and held her little sister’s hand.She felt the changes in Elena’s domain.It changed from crushing pressure to the mild comfortable domain. Then again, it was changing, making things difficult for others. If she didn’t look at Elena as the Empress, Jane understood her sister. There were so many feelings making Elena change.The one thing Jane understood was, if she didn’t stop her sister now, she would surely act up to help Adam.‘Sigh.’She felt relieved looking at Elena, who was taking several deep breaths to calm herself.Jane finally had the time to look at the stunned crow
“That… that is, ‘Iron Mace of Urial mountain’.”Jane looked at her father, who was pointing his shaking finger at one of the severed heads.“What? They killed Iron Mace?”“The Bandit leader of the Urial mountain?”“That… That is the one they call Black Bear.”“I never thought someone could kill them!”“So, they are indeed bandits?”Even if Elena didn’t know much about them, Jane had heard these names since she came to the Wind Pass City.These wer
“Happy birthday.”Elena was studying Adam’s face.Jane looked at the shaking hands of the young man.She wondered why this man would bring three Shadow Beasts as a gift to her sister’s birthday.‘Is that a gift for a girl for her birthday? You have a lot to learn.’She had to admit, the Shadow Beast cub looked adorable, but this was one of the apex predators in the world.Her sister was not a fragile, ordinary woman who couldn’t handle something like this. Still, three Shadow Beasts, including a 10th tier beast, were a bit too much.There were many gape
“Your Majesty.”Elena noticed the troubled eyes of Carl.She didn’t want to summon Carl tonight, but she didn’t like when things went out of control from her grasp. Even if she hated it, Elena knew her father’s words had some truth.Even for her, Adam was a person who came into her life recently, but she trusted him. They shared a bond far stronger than others knew. Now everyone was questioning Adam’s loyalty. That was because everyone thought Adam was a warlord.She wanted to confirm several things before the others questioned Adam. The banquet was long over, and Jane already found the recovery potion for Adam. It should have already been delivered to him. Most probably by tomorrow, he will be in good condition. 
“Sigh.”Adam looked beyond the open window.It was still dark outside, but there was no point in staying on the bed anymore.He didn’t get any sleep. Over the past couple of days, he got used to his aching body. The rest was the best thing to heal himself, and he needed a good amount of sleep for that.He had a slight hope about the recovery potion, but until now, there were no visible effects. Even though the potion started a slight alteration to his damaged organs, it was not enough to relieve him from the pain. He desperately needed some sleep, but he couldn’t.‘How angry is she?’ He slowly sat on the bed.The do
‘Should I go to the morning Court?’Elena relaxed her head into the bed rest.She was not in a mood to go anywhere. She just washed her face and got back in the bed, waiting for her maids to bring her breakfast. Adam had ruined her mood to do anything, and there was barely any sleep last night. She felt bad about her actions, but she was not ready to let him go easily.Still, she felt bad remembering the look he had as she left.‘They have done well.’Elena came back to reality, as the scent of food caught her attention.“My lord, you can’t enter.”‘Lor
“Yes, Your Highness. I will answer as best I can.”He took another sip, giving a slight smile.His body was still uncomfortable, but he had to act as if he was here to speak the truth.‘I will tell the truth, as much as possible.’“Are you badly hurt?”‘What kind of question is this?’He was hurt to a point where he couldn’t even walk properly.“Yes, Your Highness.”“Then how are you recovering? Your meridians are even repairing themselves.”Adam knew the answer
‘Elena?’Jane halted her steps, looking at her younger sister. Elena didn’t even mind when she entered her room.Jane tried to find anything to say. Her little sister was like a teenager. She was lying on the bed, hugging a pillow. There was a smile as bright as a flower on her face. The playfulness of a happy girl replaced the elegance of the Empress. Something she had never seen before.‘I hope everything will be good for you.’She had a little envy in her heart. Jane understood Elena must have listened to it all.“What if someone tells me like that?” She wondered.Adam was not trying to impress anyone. He w
“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
