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
“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
