Adrian smiled faintly and asked, "Missed me? Don’t worry, I’m here to save you.""Save them? Just you? Boy, you better worry about whether you'll meet your end here too." The leader of the Netherites stepped forward, his eyes coldly fixed on Adrian. After a pause, he continued, "But to be fair, killing Bloodradix proves you have some skill. Unfortunately, that's all you can do."As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from him. A massive ghostly figure appeared around him, merging with him and instantly amplifying his power several times over."A level nine dark arts practitioner?!" Nathaniel blurted out in shock. "No… He's an ultra-level nine dark arts practitioner!"An ultra-level nine dark arts practitioner was even stronger than a standard level nine. In other words, the man was far superior to anyone present.Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of shock, including Adrian, who drew a sharp breath. He had not expected the leader of the Netherites to possess suc

With a flick of his wrist, the Netherite leader unleashed a powerful force. The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a massive shockwave that sent Adrian flying backward. If it weren't for his considerable strength, Adrian might have been defeated already.At this moment, Adrian felt a twinge of apprehension. The situation was proving to be extremely challenging. And while he was lost in thought, the Netherite leader's second wave of attacks followed swiftly, the sheer power behind it even more daunting than before.Nathaniel and the others became more vigilant, yet Adrian seemed entirely unfazed. He simply smiled and watched the Netherite leader intently. As the attack closed in on him, a flash of light emanated from beneath his feet. A massive formation then emerged, trapping the Netherite leader within it. However, the Netherite leader seemed utterly unperturbed by Adrian's actions."You think this little trick can stop me? How laughable! Just surrender and die!" With a wave

Adrian's voice was devoid of emotion, and the Netherite leader felt as if he was at Adrian's mercy. Then, with a wave of his hand, Adrian sent the Netherite leader into the underworld. As the latter was pulled into the abyss, the dark energy in the area quickly dissipated.When the dark energy was gone, Adrian turned to Nathaniel and the others. "You guys all right? Do you need any help?" He quickly stepped forward to free Nathaniel and his companions. Nathaniel and his group exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief. "We didn't expect that it would be you who saved us in the end," Nathaniel said.Adrian replied with a smile, "Come on, we're all in this together. Why bother about who saves whom?"Afterward, the gathered crowd of thousands helped and tended to each other. Fortunately, most people had no idea what had happened. As they slowly regained consciousness, they looked around in confusion.Nathaniel and the others explained that the Netherites had caused trouble and

Brandon's strength was quite remarkable among this group of people. He was a pinnacle level-eight fighter, and he also had five juniors under him. Among these five, two were level eight, and the other three were all at the pinnacle of level seven. If they all stayed, it would boost the Exasword Garrison considerably.Nobody had any objections to this arrangement. After dealing with these matters, they rested for the next two days before bidding farewell to each other. Since Adrian had promised to stay and assist Arnold for a while, he couldn't return to Mapleston just yet. But with the situation in Mapleston already stabilized, and with Ash and others being there, he didn't need to worry. As long as he informed Ash and the others, Adrian could stay as long as he needed.***At night at the Exasword Garrison…"Adrian, I'm really sorry. So many things have happened recently, and we now only have simple ingredients. Tonight, we can only offer you a simple meal," Arnold said apologetic

The dark shadow suddenly flew toward Jeffrey at a rapid speed. Just as he was about to scream, the dark shadow enveloped him. Jeffrey collapsed, trembling all over, his eyes rolling back, and foam dripping from his mouth. It seemed as if he could die at any moment. However, his trembling didn't last long. After a while, he stopped shaking. Then, he slowly stood up and walked out of his tent.The night wind blew, causing Jeffrey's clothes to flutter, but he seemed to not feel the chill. He appeared completely lifeless, like a walking corpse. He slowly walked to a tent not far from his. It was Ryan's tent, and the curtain of the tent was lifted. Ryan's partner, Kelsey, was sound asleep inside the tent. She was completely unaware that someone was standing outside. Ryan, however, was nowhere to be seen.Jeffrey just stood there, and after a while, a voice came from behind him."Jeffrey? What are you doing standing here?"It was Ryan. Holding up his pants, he seemed to have just come ba
