In no time, Lance arrived at the office, accompanied by Brand. On the way, he had heard Lucia explain a few things. Zero had returned without Michael or Arthur. While Michael wasn't of much concern to him, it was odd for Zero to return alone without Arthur, unless there were unavoidable circumstances forcing him to return alone. Thinking of this, Lance's expression became more somber.Brand, too, was aware that the situation was not simple. His face no longer bore the playful, nonchalant expression he used to have around Arthur. His eyebrows furrowed, and his face turned cold as if a storm was approaching.Soon, they reached the office. Zero wasn't surprised to see Brand accompanying Lance. After all, in this lifetime, Brand was Arthur's grandfather in name.Zero nodded slightly as a greeting to Brand and then said, "Everyone, please take a seat. This is not some high-level meeting."In front of them was a tea table, modified into a working table, covered with stacked papers.
Riert, sensing Lance's serious expression, refrained from making any more teasing remarks and quickly led Lance to the meeting room. At that moment, Case was still organizing documents in the room. Upon hearing footsteps, he couldn't help but turn around, immediately facing Riert and Lance entering from outside.Case furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "What's happened?"Without uttering a word, Riert, Lance nodded and said, "The situation is urgent. The leader of the Mage Association is in danger, and there's even a possibility of death."Upon hearing this, Case spoke in a serious tone, "It's indeed a serious matter, but it's not inherently difficult to resolve. We can use our influence to temporarily replace Aucris. Moreover, his subordinates are also very capable. Perhaps Mage Association would continue its normal operations even without our intervention."Lance shook his head, "This is much more serious. Aucris is the strongest person on this continent. The Beastfolk tribe vol
The seal in Arthur's mind had been broken, giving way to unimaginable power along with countless memories. He truly was the strongest being on the continent, and most details about him matched what Asser had mentioned.He carried memories from various lifetimes, each time being born with the awareness of a world facing imminent doom. And every time, he only needed to deal with that threat. In the battle a hundred thousand years ago, the awakening of the abyss's power, fueled by the foolish ambitions of the Beastfolk tribe, had led to a devastating rampage.Arthur sacrificed his strength and a portion of his soul to forcibly seal all abnormal energies in the world. This was also the reason why non-human races fell into a deep slumber. The sacrificed portion of his soul, however, unexpectedly became the black-bodied entity that continued to battle him.Ideally, that black body should have merged with the abyss, even confronting it to the point of a life-and-death struggle. Yet, th
Although the Beastfolk tribe has currently collaborated with the abyss, the abyss still exists beyond control. The subordinates quickly departed. Tiger gazed at the abyss, his eyes cold and ruthless. At this moment, the battle below the abyss was still raging, and it was on the verge of tension. Arthur swiftly deployed several magical formations. Countless sharp thorns and beams of light were directed towards the dark soul. However, the dark soul was equally formidable; he swiftly wielded his sword, deflecting Arthur's attacking blows. Despite the dense offense, he couldn't escape getting injured. The dark soul roared loudly, ignoring the hellfire consuming one of his arms, and relentlessly attacked Arthur. Arthur simultaneously raised his sword, swiftly dodging to the side. He sacrificed one of his arms to thrust into the heart of the dark soul. "Phew!" The sound of the sword piercing through flesh echoed, sending shivers down one's spine. The dark soul's sword pierced t
During this period, time seemed to pass quickly. The next day had arrived. At this moment, Adonis had also used maximum speed to reach the vicinity bordering the abyss. He squinted at Tiger, speaking in a deep voice, "So, what exactly happened?!" Tiger quickly recounted the entire situation, the rage of the abyss. Upon hearing this, Adonis frowned even tighter, his currently cold and grim face appearing even more daunting. The other Beastfolk dared not speak at this moment. Adonis spoke solemnly, "Alright, let's go and see what tricks this abyss wants to play." Clearly, they had agreed to cooperate, and this was the time and the best opportunity for the abyss to awaken. Whatever it thought, it wouldn't change at this moment. Adonis felt that someone was disrupting their plans! The one disrupting the plans of the Beastfolk was Arthur. At this moment, he was still lying on the ground. He had been lying like this for a long time after the dark soul self-destructed. The woun
Unlike Adonis's speculation, the Abyss did not have any intention of causing chaos. In fact, before Adonis could even contact the Abyss, it had already contacted him first. The Abyss also didn't have a specific form; it was just a continuous swirl of black smoke, constantly twisting and changing. Its words were precise as well. Previously, due to some undetermined reasons, it had fallen into chaos, but now everything had returned to normal, and the beastfolk tribe could begin summoning it to other areas.Upon hearing the assurance, Adonis didn't say anything more and quickly left, preparing for the upcoming battle. It should be noted that he had been preparing for this battle for hundreds of thousands of years! At this moment, he only wanted to slaughter, to achieve his goal as quickly as possible!Adonis took only half a day to return to his territory. By now, his beastfolk tribe had completely gathered. The beastfolk numbers were substantial, and each member was robust and p
The leaders of the human army possessed extremely formidable abilities; however, Adonis's loyal followers were also powerful. Due to the numerical difference, sooner or later, they would find themselves at a disadvantage. Case raised his large sword, and with a swift strike, he killed two of Adonis's top ten loyalists. His capabilities seemed almost transcendental compared to everyone present. Adonis, floating high above, observed the battle, his brow slightly furrowed. He was somewhat surprised that humans had so many individuals with such strong abilities.In his thoughts, without Arthur, these humans would only suffer mass slaughter without resistance. However, although the beastfolk had the numerical advantage, their killing speed against humans had significantly slowed down. Furthermore, these combat-oriented humans were not entirely ordinary people. Each of them had an unpredictable identity.Through Adonis's eyes, he could discern that the individual massacring a large
At this moment, that entity had also appeared behind the black cloud gate with thunder. Michael's cold, bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on Adonis. He then raised his hand suddenly. Countless dark purple arrows emerged from the void and shot towards Adonis. Adonis immediately flapped his wings, emitting powerful energy that made those arrows disappear instantly.The individual smirked and laughed, "Unexpectedly, after hundreds of thousands of years, the Demonkin tribe has another new ruler." Clearly, Adonis had realized that this person was not Asser.Michael looked towards Adonis and spoke in a low voice, "Daring to attack the territory of mankind, aren't you afraid of being punched to death by my master?" Clearly, Michael's master referred to Arthur.Adonis couldn't help but sneer a bit, "Then let's see if Arthur can make it back. Besides, in the border region with the abyss, the demonkin tribe is probably in chaos right now, isn't it? Yet here you are, returning to help the fate of
