“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
“Child, are you awake?” ‘Where am I?’ Adam heard a kind voice from afar. He knew his eyes were closed. There was no familiar scent around him, and the voice was unknown, too. He felt a powerful presence around him, but a sense of security came with the kind voice. Even without opening his eyes, Adam knew the room was brightly lit. The light was warm and comforting. He slowly opened his eyes to see a white decorated ceiling. The entire atmosphere surrounding him was white. ‘Where is this? How did I come here? I remember breaking the God’s crystal.’ The last thing he could clearly remember was crushing God’s crystal in his hands. He remembered the unimaginabl
“He is awake. Quickly, inform Her Majesty.”“Send a message to the Great Guardian, the human is awake.”Adam heard various voices as he tried to open his eyes. The familiar scent came to his nose, showing his senses were back. There was no discomfort in his body, and he heard the surrounding sounds clearly.Adam opened his eyes to see the ceiling made of green vines and branches. He was back at the Elven kingdom.He looked around to see Carl sleeping in a corner of the room. Adam felt relieved seeing him well. He noticed the others in the room were Elves, but he smelled the Guardian Knights from outside. There was a lingering scent of Princess Jane, letting him know she was here before. Adam silently bowed at the Elves one last time, before following Princess Jane to the space-time gate.The number of Elves left with them was nearly twenty thousand. Unlike the dwarfs, the Elves were sending their most valuable possession to the Crimson Empire. Adam had nothing against the number of Elven guards and the Elven magicians, called the enchanters coming with them.As long as he could use these people, their knowledge about magic and enchantments, it would help them a lot. Also, Elven archers and their capabilities caught his attention.As he stood out from the gate, a familiar sight greeted him.Alex stood in the front with a smile on his face. He wore his official robes with dwarven light armour. Adam nodded in satisfaction, seeing thBlood Wolf Chapter 265: Older Than the Gods
“You must be Chen.”“Yes, My… My Lord.”No matter how much he practised, Chen felt nervous in front of this young Lord.‘I feel much better talking with the Beast men.’He thought, looking at the calm young man in front of him.He never thought of earning anything from the craft he learned from his father. No one cared about rearing crabs. It was difficult to rear crabs. Mainly because of the dangers in the coastal area. He barely reared his remaining crabs without losing his life.People from his fishing village ridiculed him many times because he refused to give up this craft. He knew he had no way of successfully farm
Adam finished decorating the plate before putting it on the silver tray with the other delicacies.‘That looks nice.’The look of the tray filled with food satisfied him. He took the tray with the old book, walking toward the inner palace. The condition of the boy was worse than he thought. There was internal damage to his organs and thrombosis in his veins.Adam couldn’t smell any poison, but he had a feeling the boy was exposed to poison, or someone poisoned him deliberately. The old man Frank didn’t know the exact reason, except his grandson became ill all of a sudden.He could try to treat the young man, but Adam didn’t know the exact method. The other solution was to upgrade his medicine and herbs skill and try his luc
“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
