Seeing Adrian, the burly man felt as though he'd been struck by lightning. "How can this be?! You’re dead!" His complexion paled, clearly struggling to comprehend Adrian's presence.Adrian appeared nonchalant, shrugging casually. "You mean that whole stabbing myself in the heart thing? It was merely a ruse to deceive you into bringing us here.""Why you..." Realization dawned on the burly man, replaced swiftly by anger. His eyes glinted fiercely, though he couldn't suppress a laugh. "Hahaha. Do you think this will suffice? How amusing," he jeered.Adrian arched an eyebrow, wary of the hidden intentions behind the burly man's demeanor."As long as I'm here, you'll never triumph. Die!" the burly man roared, conjuring forth countless tendrils of black mist that surged toward Adrian like a relentless tide.Adrian swiftly summoned the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, meeting the onslaught with a resounding clash. Though the sword held firm against the assault, Adrian found it challenging to
The blood formation had awakened the monster king’s soul from his slumber. Now, he could possess the bodies of others to launch attacks."Die," the monster king’s voice boomed, and the burly man flicked his finger.The blood-red barrier transformed into countless blood-red swords and charged toward Adrian. The monster king aimed to kill Adrian with a single, devastating blow. However, Adrian was not about to go down so easily. Waving his sword, he unleashed waves of sword energy at the incoming blood-red swords.The burly man, controlled by the monster king, dashed backward, quickly distancing himself from Adrian. It was unclear what his intentions were, but Adrian certainly would not let him escape so easily."You’re not getting away!” Adrian shouted and quickly pursued the burly man.Unfortunately, the burly man had already arrived atop the coffin. Standing there, he sneered and said, "Kid, your strength is impressive. If you pledge your allegiance to me, I will ensure your powe
Although Nathaniel was reluctant to leave, now was not the time for hesitation.“You think you can leave whenever you want?” the burly man said and waved. A surge of blood energy roared toward the escapees, but Adrian immediately intercepted the attack.“Get out of here!” Adrian shouted.Without wasting another moment, Nathaniel and the others quickly made their exit. Now, Adrian was the only one who remained to face off against the monster king.*Tremors ripped through Mapleston, and the garrison was stunned by the phenomenon. Though Nathaniel and his group had been captured, the rest of the garrison continued their duties.“What’s going on? Why are all the alarms going off?”“No idea. Could it be a level nine monster king?”"A level nine monster king?!"The garrison was in chaos, unable to believe what was happening. Despite their disbelief, the events that were unfolding right before their eyes demanded an immediate response. Nathaniel had yet to come back and the other so
Some of their white bones underneath were even exposed to the air, presenting a ghastly sight that sent shivers down the spine.“Monsters!” one citizen screamed, inadvertently drawing the attention of the undead soldiers. In an instant, the undead turned their gaze toward the civilians and charged at them."Aaaahhh!" The citizens were terrified. Fortunately, several war chariots appeared in the distance just at that moment. Five human soldiers disembarked from the chariots, unleashing powerful techniques that quickly obliterated the undead.“Everyone, get on the chariots! We need to leave now!” one of the soldiers commanded.The citizens snapped out of their daze and rushed toward the chariots. Luckily, there were not too many people in the area, and the three chariots could accommodate everyone. However, just as they boarded, another menacing roar echoed. More undead soldiers had appeared, and these ones were noticeably stronger than the previous batch.Spotting the civilians,
Back at the monster king’s tomb…“Impressive. I'm truly surprised that an insignificant human like you possesses such capabilities!” the monster king remarked. “This era belongs to humanity. Your schemes and plots will never succeed,” Adrian responded.“Is that so? Then let’s put humanity to the test. But first and foremost, you should worry about your own fate!” the monster king said and charged at Adrian.Even though the monster king was a level nine, Adrian himself was a level nine too. Adrian had nothing to fear, but he had no intention of fighting alone. Suddenly, a figure appeared and launched a surprise attack on the monster king.“Hmm? An ally?” The monster king's eyes narrowed in surprise.Just then, a voice rang out, “Ash, here to support!”“Well, well, well. Look who's here. You really have some guts to act cocky in front of me, kid,” the monster king said calmly. He then let out a roar which sent Ash flying. At the same time, he waved, and blood-red light began to g
The monster king charged at Adrian’s companions. His attacks were fierce, causing everyone to instinctively retreat. However, his intention was not to defeat them but simply to force them to withdraw.Once they backed off, the monster king dashed back toward the coffin. His true form remained within the coffin, currently using the body of the burly man. As he neared the coffin, the surrounding dark energy gathered toward him. Seeing this, Adrian quickly realized the gravity of the situation. "We have to stop him!" Adrian exclaimed before chasing after the monster king, who emitted a sinister chuckle, evidence that Adrian's suspicions were correct. Suddenly, a strange light flashed around the monster king, and six armored monster generals reappeared. Each of these monster generals was at the pinnacle of level eight. Their strength was then further enhanced by the surrounding dark energy and soared to level nine. As soon as they appeared, they instantly charged at Daybreak and Stygi
"Come forth, my men! It's time for us to destroy the world!" the monster king shouted. He transformed into a blood-red light that shot straight into the sky, showing the world that the level nine monster king had fully reawakened.At this moment, the citizens of Mapleston had already been evacuated. The entire city now lay in ruins, with countless undead soldiers and generals gathered together. Although they had not attacked yet, their sheer numbers created a spectacular and intimidating sight. It seemed they were waiting for someone's arrival.Moments later, another figure dashed into the city and landed among them. As this figure touched down, all the undead soldiers and generals got on one knee. Nathaniel and his companions watched the scene unfold before them from the shadows. They were deeply shocked by the sight. After all, they had never seen the undead soldiers kneel before. "What are they doing? Is that guy their leader?" Nathaniel mumbled. Soon, the glow around the figu
The monster king smiled sinisterly and said, "Well, well. I didn't expect to find little mice hiding here. Well then, let's use these mice as the starting point for our conquest!"He swung his sword, releasing a fierce and swift sword energy toward Nathaniel and his companions. The attack was fast and deadly, aimed to take their lives."Damn it!" Nathaniel was shocked. He tried to dodge the attack, but the sword energy was too quick, leaving them no chance to get out of the way.Boom! Dust and smoke filled the air, but despite the ferocity of the attack, it did not harm them. At the critical moment, a figure had appeared and intercepted the attack. "Wow, I’m gone for just a moment, and you guys get this arrogant?" The man’s sarcastic voice rang out, drawing the monster king's attention. The speaker was none other than Adrian. His eyes gleamed as he sent the sword energy back at the monster king. However, the monster king effortlessly deflected the attack with a swing of his sw
