“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
“I don’t know your name!”Mel studied the younger man in front of him. He knew he had to tread carefully. The first time he saw this man was during a massacre. Not just any massacre; the massacre happened in the sunken ship, Holy flower. This was the man who led the attack. Despite being weak in strength, he was a lord.Mel heard his name from the women who brought their food. It amazed him to see there were Beast women who served this young man as well. In a place like the Holy Light Empire, it was easy to see Beast men slaves working under powerful nobles. However, this was the Crimson Empire, and he had never heard of a powerful noble named Adam.He didn’t know this young man’s family name, but he thought it should be a noble one. At least he heard the name of Princess Ja
“Is this it?”Adam finished making the hollow cylinder. This fine crafting took much more time than he expected, but this was what he promised.‘They can make these themselves.’Even if he thought this, skills like this didn’t come under forging. To make fine equipment, the best way was casting. However, they didn’t bring those pieces of equipment into the valley, and they just started building the facilities.Adam felt it would take many years to build perfect forges like they had in the Dwarven city. There was a long way to go for that.“Yes… Yes, that is it.”Adam smiled, listening to the excit
“Brother, you are leaving again.”“Amy, I am going to come back soon. It is just for a couple of days.”Adam rubbed Amy’s little head. He talked to her about this for the last couple of days, yet at the last moment, she wasn’t ready to let him go. He didn’t lose his grip around her, letting her latch around his neck.Adam could only helplessly look at the only other person who could take Amy away now. However, her eyes were darker than ever, too.The time they agreed upon was getting near. Soon, the Elven Dragon would open a space-time gate for them to travel to the Elven kingdom.‘Didn’t she agree to let me go?’Latest Chapter
