Adam moved fast within the crowd.
He was no stranger to the port district.
He only had one problem; his clothes; they were too flashy.
Adam already planned what he was going to do. Even without a system mission, Edward Lightbringer had to die. He was in no mood to forgive. Adam knew he was not strong enough to go against a 10th tier powerhouse. However, he had his people, and Diana was joining him, making things easy.
‘Sigh.’
Adam realised he was unknowingly angry the moment he left the palace. His killing intent affected Diana negatively. He felt like a fool. His anger could do nothing.
‘It is what it is.’
“Let’s have a chat.”‘Is this a joke?’Sakura froze, feeling the sharp edge on her neck.She didn’t know what happened or who came for her. She felt the voice was unfamiliar. Then again, she wasn’t expecting someone she knew to come and take her life.“Did... Did the Admiral send you?” She at least wished to know the person who found her so fast.If there was anyone who could track her after escaping, it should be the new admiral of the pirate bay. No one else had a similar capability.“Who? I am here to talk to you.”“What?... Y
The moonlight shone on the calm water. Coupled with the cool breeze, it gave a pleasant feeling to people. Jane tugged her hair to stop it dangling in the wind. ‘I like this dress.’ She usually had to wear noble clothing, and it was rare for her to wear pants and shirts. ‘She is good.’ Jane commented in her heart. She watched the female captain steer the ship for quite some time now, and she was constantly yelling and steering the ship without a stop. ‘I could say she is pretty.’ The young captain had lengthy black hair and large eyes. She wore a red bandana on her head. The tight pants and shirt wrapped around the shaped body.
“What a terrifying power!”Jane stuttered, feeling the pressure from the Bishop of the Church of Light. Even with two 10th tier powerhouses suppressing him, his domain was pressuring them.The battle had already started. She saw the lookout falling from the crew nest. Adam, the one who started all this, totally ignored this monster of a man, to jump the back-line. The others followed him without hesitation. This was the original plan.However, Jane froze when she saw the glowing hammer that gave an otherworldly feeling. Coupled with the several blows they exchanged until now, she felt worried. Carl, the new 10th tier warrior, was already panting after a few exchanges.Jane felt all the surrounding noises didn’t matter. If they failed t
“Adam….”Jane slowly approached Adam.She managed to stop the bleeding from her wounds after some effort. All around her, people were putting out fires, and some tending to their wounds. She couldn’t imagine no lives on their side were lost. They barely had sixteen people to fight with others being occupied.The one who suffered the most damage was the unconscious man healed by Adam. She wanted to ask for him to use this magic again, but Jane witnessed the fatigue Elena showed after using it once.‘Well, sort of tired.’She wanted to roll her eyes at Adam, too. They were obviously flirting, even in that situation. More accurately, Elena was acting weak to gain Adam’
“It is good to be back. I really need some sleep.”Jane stretched her tired body, changing into old clothes.It was already morning by the time they returned to the bay. Last night’s mission was much more successful than they imagined. The only evidence left about their mission was the people who took part in the mission and the prisoners.They were yet to learn the origin of the family imprisoned in the ship, but she wanted to decide the fate of the traitors after talking with Elena. The four people sent by the Victor family worked on their master’s instructions, but they betrayed the Empire.They were yet to decide the fate of the commoners who worked on the ship, too. They left everyone on the pirate ship with Adam’s men
“Your Majesty, they are ready.”“Everything is arranged?”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Freda looked at her appearance again.They were once a proud race, but what now left was a remnant of that strength. Only disappointment and awaiting the slow demise was all they had until recently. The appearance of the power of the gods was the only hope they had.She looked out through the window at the humongous tree that stood in the middle of the lush green forest. Unlike the surrounding greenery, this tree had very few leaves left. Still, every one of them emitted pure energy of life, refreshing her soul. Their precious tree of life. The source of power granted by the Goddess herself.
‘I hope she is fine now.’Adam gently patted his white horse while waiting for the Empress.Yesterday, for some reason, he made her angry again. The reason; he was yet to figure out. She was angry after the negotiations with the Elves.He agreed to help them in return for the conditions of the Empress. In Adam’s mind, it was rather beneficial for them. Besides, he had a sense of duty regarding the request from the Elves.He never thought there would be dark creatures surrounding the Elven lands. Even though they didn’t go into detail, he had a feeling it might relate this to the same forces that appeared in the Church of Shadows and the Church of the Dawn.Even if it was not, there wa
“We have to deal with the iron shipment coming to the valley. Take it from Lord Mason’s people tonight.”Adam currently sat on one of the wooden buildings made by Dwarfs. It was a spacious building with a nice fireplace and a smooth finishing. Wooden planks looked well-sealed and tight. The floor made of smooth stone made the atmosphere inside warm and welcoming.He sat behind the stack of documents on his table.To be honest, he was never used to this kind of work, but now he had to pay attention to everything. Lord Mason reminded him several times. Verbal promises and numbers meant very little. As long as there was something written, they could use the details properly.A group of people assigned by Lord Mason, and his own people who
“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
