Adam found himself in a dark hidden cave after falling through the bushes. Lucky for him, it was only a few meters deep. And that was nothing for him with his E+ agility. He could see the bit of light leaking in from the hole he fell through. ‘Where is this?’ it was too dark for him to see anything. Unlike the previous cave, where the inner sanctum was located. This looked like a more natural cave. However, there was a familiar smell that warned his senses about a familiar danger lurking in the dark. There were no system messages, indicating that he was not in immediate danger. ‘Not good’ he was not feeling well about the situation even after the system ignored it. Because, in the dark, he could smell the fading scent of humans. Adam didn’t hesitate to take a torch from the system storage. He lit it after making sure there was no immediate danger surrounding him. Cave was about two meters tall and had a similar width. He could see it was getting wider to the far, from the l
“Greeting New Master of the Shadow Sanctuary,” it decided to greet Adam and not provoke the unknown power, besides he and the sanctuary have already bound to its new master.'Ehh,' Adam didn't know what to say, sure he has seen wolves and understood them but this is the first time he saw a wolf that used ancient kingdom language to communicate."I, " Adam thought again, what should he say to this illusionary figure of a wolf."You can call me the guardian spirit or the silver wolf as you please, new sanctuary master," it started againAdam now identifies the wolf as it introduces itself, guardian spirits were not living animals or dead spirits but the manifestation of the object or the place guarded by itself. The silver wolf here is the manifestation of the conciseness of the Shadow sanctuary, it is created by high-level magic giving it the ability to manage and control the whole place or the object guarded by it. of course, it had to obey the orders of the creator or the identified m
‘Receive,’ Adam didn’t hesitate even when his body is still recovering after the purification process, because he already has an immediate quest, he is not ready to complete.- Integrating skill – Rapid regeneration (Basic) - Basic requirement met (Spirit - E+ Strength E+)- Authentication success- Rapid regeneration (Basic) skill Transfer successThis time Adam only had Weird hotness in his body but there was the usual intense pain.- Integrating skill – Holy Purge (Basic) - Basic requirement met (Spirit – D+)- Authentication success- Holy purge (Basic) skill Transfer successAnd this time it was as if the system was waiting to give him his wish. Intense pain in the head hit him hard and within seconds, he found himself falling to the ground. His head started to fill with information about using the divine power of the Shadow to damage dark creatures. Even with the pain, a smile appeared on his face. The system has given him what he needed or at least the weapon he needs to pu
‘Upgrade Shadow Concealment,’- Authentication success (Upgrade)- Shadow Concealment (Intermediate) -> Shadow Concealment (Advance)- Related attribute check – spirit - initiating upgrade – Within body limit (Authentication Failure)- Related attribute check – Agility - initiating upgrade – Within body limit (Authentication Failure)Things were much calmer as there was no drastic reaction from his body; he felt the ways to hide and conceal his presence are more accurate and precise with the new knowledge he is receiving. He was ready for pain anyway and this time it was much less compared to other times. After a few minutes, the upgrade was finished or he was able to get his senses back from receiving a countless amount of new knowledge.Upgraded skill gave him a new level of confidence,Shadow Concealment (Advance) - Where shadows are, is where you can never be seen unless you wish – Finding you in the shadows is not something a mortal can do. The host can attack without breaking his
Everyone surrounded the cave as they hid behind the trees and bushes waiting patiently. Despite their best effort, most people in the group are not good at hiding. They are men born to fight and the Crimson empire is not a place for backstabbers and cowards.Even though these men are not very good at hiding, today no one is brave enough to barge in like animals. Even Carl wants to keep things quiet as possible, but he is planning to charge in with a war cry after people are ready. Because men seem to already reach their breaking point and blood boiling war cry will give them the most needed adrenaline rush for a short moment. That is what all they need to charge in and get the girls out.Carl waited until amateur magicians and trackers got to their points. But two men from house Victor seem to be ready to charge in. Carl didn’t mind this too much as they are also strong as him and Karina. Besides he was not expecting them to listen to his commands. As long as they don’t hinder them, ev
“What the hell is going on?”Everyone looked at the back as they slowed for a moment as the scream from the back made things more awkward."You monster. Let them go," one of the cavalrymen in the back charged at the lich as if he lost his mind. Two other men including one of the Adventurers also followed the man in anger."No," Carl yelled as he saw his man charge at the invincible enemy. There is nothing a 6th tier power can do against this monster when even him who is at 8th tier is helpless against itThen he saw what made the man lose his mind. There are four new figures behind the lich that move in a very awkward manner toward them. Their own men, the four people who had fallen earlier are walking toward them. Carl is sure they died but now he can see them walking. But those eyes are lifeless as he can see from the fading light. And some of them are still bleeding from their wounds.“They are undead. reanimated by dark magic we need to run, they can't be killed either.”One magici
Everyone got their hopes up by seeing the man defending them.On the contrary, Adam is having a bitter look on his face, lucky for others it is covered well, or everyone will lose hope. He failed; he was supposed to take down the lich with the strike that killed the undead warrior. And now he is unexpectedly facing the rotting face of the lich who has the power similar to 9th tier.Adam did not expect lich to control one of the undead to block the attack but he knows he is an amateur when it comes to fighting. The only knowledge he has about this world filled with magic and death comes from the mystic knowledge and it is at the basic level. He felt like cursing the system for not giving him enough skill points to upgrade the other skillsAlthough he is no match for this monster, maybe if he had light dagger skill upgraded, he would have had a better chance. But now it has come to a direct confrontation against something he cannot afford to fight.It was partially Karina’s fault too; he
Adam felt as if his body was broken into two. This is the first time he took this much damage. He was unable to control his wolf form as he regained the human body and then it became more painful. Adam can feel blood gushing out of his body as the believer’s clothes are also ripped.He can’t die, he has to live, ‘I will kill you all’ anger took over him as his body started to react. Adam ignored the system that turned red and continuously gave messages. He is angry at it too. There is one thought in his mind, kill.Unknown to him his body started to change as claws started to replace his nails, and eyes became blood-red similar to his wolf form. Adam didn’t know how he got the strength or how he broke free as he pulled himself out of the ground and pulled out the remaining Ice Shard from his body.He didn’t feel any pain as the urge to kill rose in his heart, not only the lich but the one who attacked him as well. Adam ripped off his cape and the piece of cloth that covered his face. T
