“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?’ ‘This is troublesome.’Adam felt his head throbbing, looking at the map in front of him.Princess Jane and the Guardian Knights looked confident, but Carl looked terrified. This man personally experienced the terror of the undead and lost a few of his men in the Westwood Forest.He never thought the Elves had declined to such a level. Even the dwarfs had the master forgers who had strength at the 10th tier, but the Elves had none. Other than the few elite guards at the 9th tier, they had several spell casters.That was far from enough to deal with the amount of undead shown on the map. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if they didn’t have the Tree of Life and the Dragon. According to the Elves, the Tree of life had a pBlood Wolf Chapter 257: Wretched Power
After the last rays of the sun vanished, the Elven kingdom lit up from various lights. The yellow lights among the lush green leaves looked majestic, but the noises in the village disappeared soon.Adam listened to the wilderness. Other than the sounds of the predators coming from the far High pass mountain, there was no other sound. Everything was silent. Thousands of Elven guards assembled in the ground circling the village.Even if there was a natural barrier, they looked uneasy. Normally, the lower level undead should be weaker. If not for the presence of a lich or another higher being, these guards should be able to take them down easily.‘What exactly happened?’If they could utilise the barrier, they could easily damage the undead to
“Adam, are they going to be weak?” Jane felt no more comfortable because of the daylight. The surrounding forest was dead silent. She understood the true horror of the undead. Last night, she witnessed their numbers made of an uncountable number of skeletons and rotting bodies. Also, according to the Elves, last night’s behaviour of the undead was unnatural. They all saw the undead retreating when Adam approached them, and later, they left the encirclement. The power of the Tree of Life amazed Jane. It had a barrier that could prevent the undead from entering, and that barrier itself was filled with vitality. She was excited just by thinking a similar tree would soon become theirs. The Crimson Empire would also have the luxury, but these enemi
Adam pondered over his options as he walked out of the bone building. His Mystic Knowledge was correct. The drawing on the ground was a summoning circle. More importantly, it was a type of summoning related to something other than the undead. In the bone building, there was an altar made of bones. His Mystic knowledge was enough for Adam to identify it as an altar for the god of death. They did the sacrifice of the lich on a separate sacrifice circle, meaning whoever was doing the ritual wanted to summon something else. “Where do the undead gather the most?” He looked at the Elven guards. They looked terrified by the appearance of the building, but this was not the time to attend to their feelings. The system kept warning him with a red screen about the danger. He had to act fast.
“Did you find anything?”“No, My Lord.”‘This is getting way out of hand.’Adam felt troubled, looking at the situation. They found the tracks of the Princess and the Guardian Knights going south. Judging by the speed they travelled, Princess Jane was slow enough for Elves to go with them.He saw the few tracks leading back to the Elven Kingdom, indicating several Elves had gone back. The others had followed Princess Jane and the Knights.“We should hurry!Adam ran, following the scent.“My Lord… Did something happen to them?” Adam ignored the events surrounding him. He heard the bones falling to the ground as they lost their controller. The undead were gone, but something sinister was coming. He crawled under the pedestal, reaching for the floating black crystal. The pressure was crushing him, making his vision blur. Adam tried his best to finish this as soon as possible. He didn’t see the blood coming out of the Arch lich dying the drawing on the ground. A cloud of black smoke came from the dead body and merged into the black vortex. An eerie scream came from the smoke, as if a soul was being sucked into the dark vortex. Soon, the vortex enlarged, turning into a three-meter-tall black square. It solidified into a black metal door covered in chains. The chains had hideous-looking skulls carved into it, and the door itself looked like the mouth of a terrible creature. There was a banging on the door from the other side, as if something wanted to break free. Adam was still growling under the pedesBlood Wolf Chapter 262: A God Had Returned
