“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
“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
