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
Adam found himself lying on the ground as the pain hit him hard. He remembered a similar event that happened a few weeks ago at the west coast city. The day he found the system or the day system found him.Adam tried moving his body, as soon as he tried to clear his dizzy thoughts the piercing pain hit him on his belly, chest, and legs.Finally. he remembered the events that happened last night as anger appeared in his heart. But then memories of his furious killing spree surfaced as he felt worried by his anger. He was a total monster, a monster that cannot be controlled but how did that happen?And he had no memories after killing the lich. Only the memory of having the urge he had to kill more. He brutalized two humans and enjoyed plucking out a heart.‘System,’ he called the only thing that will give him some clue.There were a large number of different lines in the system but unlike the night before, the system looked much calmer.Adam felt cold, ‘my clothes’ he felt regret as he
Adam walked into the inner sanctum with the dire wolf family on his heels. It was more than three hours later he was finally able to move from the initial place where he woke up. Still, he is back to his old and slow walk. Just like when he was back in the West Coast city.It has been weeks since he was this weak and he can still f
There was little difference in the busy west coast city at night, unlike weak refugees that had the least protection and self-defense abilities. Natives, and merchants who can afford bodyguards had their nightlife. Noble district, Magicians tower area, and merchants district has their own, respective entertainment for people who are looking for excitement.Gates are not that busy still natives and people with status moved through. But with the recent troublesome incidents, there is a visible increase in the security of the West Coast city. Especially with Josh Han's influence, the number of city guards aware of suspicious people has increased.City guards keep the watch on people who enter and exit while under the influence of her Majesty, a group of empire knights’ squad was within reach. This has become an annoyance to many people, especially to the nobles who knew exactly the reason for empire knights to be there. Protection of a refugee, more accurately this was an arrangement by t
“Interesting,” Elena’s eyes opened completely as she heard the name. Because it is amazing this man reached the city in one piece, it was no secret to her that many eyes are looking for Adam and especially the Baron family is looking to take his life. She could have sent the people to look for this man but she is not very optimistic about saving a weak refugee. Even though the man was interesting as he protected and lived with a little girl, this is the Crimson empire, and just like everyone else, she did not respect the weak. Even now Elena did not know due to her unpredictable nature, her officials and Diana had specially sent a group of empire knights to keep this man alive until she makes a decision. “Where is he now?” “He is on his way to the City guard barracks, your majesty. Josh Han has been using all his connections to keep the boy safe,” Although Adam is only a few years younger than her in Diana’s eyes he is too weak to consider as a man. 'Josh,' Elena remembered the mid
