“I thought you would be much stronger but it turns out you're nothing special after all," Adrian said with a cold smile.Though it was just a simple smile, Alfred saw unparalleled mockery and deep sarcasm in Adrian’s eyes."You little brat… How dare you mock me! I'll show you how formidable I am. Die!" Alfred roared as an unprecedentedly formidable power erupted from his body.Adrian knew this was all the power Alfred could muster at the moment. But even so, it was still ineffective against Adrian. His strength far exceeded Alfred's expectations.Adrian waved, and a fierce aura filled the surrounding air. The aura was sharp and fierce, clearly devastating, rushing toward Alfred who quickly tried to defend himself. But Adrian's attacks came relentlessly like an avalanche rushing down the mountain.Boom! At first, Alfred could withstand the attack but soon realized he couldn't hold it off forever. The terrifying onslaught overwhelmed him, and in the blink of an eye, his defense wa

Alfred grinned wickedly. "I see. Very well. In that case, I shall accept your assistance."Hearing this, the group brimmed with anticipation. But in the next moment, they sensed something was wrong. A powerful suction force converged on them, rendering evasion or escape impossible."Sword Demon? What's happening?" one of them cried out in horror.The group struggled but found themselves unable to break free. In no time, they were completely engulfed.*Following Adrian's investigation, he uncovered Alfred’s last traces in Nebulus, a city close to Asford. With this information, he wasted no time in heading there. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Ivory Tower of Nebulus. However, when he attempted to enter, the guards at the entrance intercepted him."Who are you? A commoner like you wishes to enter Ivory Tower? Absurd,” the captain of the guards said.Adrian, however, ignored the captain and pushed past him.The captain winced from the blow, but quickly regained his footin

Though somewhat shocked, most were merely surprised. After all, they were familiar with Adrian's reputation. However, they quickly regained their senses."Absurd. You expect us to believe this is Adrian Xander?""Exactly. It's inconceivable for someone like Mr. Adrian to be here.""Indeed. You'd do well to drop the act. Hahaha!"The surrounding onlookers showed no inclination to believe in Toval."Step aside. Those who get in my way will meet their end," Adrian warned in a chilling tone. He then released a compelling aura, but the people before him regarded his actions as inconsequential.Boom!Adrian ceased bothering with words and simply unleashed a surge of Vital Energy, and it hurtled toward the opposition like crashing waves. In an instant, the group was forced backward, face-first on the ground. As they glanced back up at Adrian, they looked stunned."You... You..."Despite being sprawled on the ground, there was no hint of weakness in their expressions. Each of them sti

The onlookers were stunned to see Darl covered in blood after Adrian struck him down."My... My power..." Darl lay on the ground, writhing in pain.Adrian approached him and said, "As the mayor, you abused your power to oppress others. For this crime, you deserve to be punished. Today, I'll judge your sins." He took out a token the Council of Elders had given him. It was a unique token that granted the bearer the authority to act first and report later."You... You really are..." Darl's face turned pale with despair. He finally realized that the person standing before him was indeed Adrian. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to right his wrongs. Adrian raised his hand, and a powerful force gathered in his palm. With a single strike, he pierced through Darl's chest. With mouth opened wide and eyes bulging with shock and resentment, Darl died. The onlookers were dumbfounded. They never imagined that their mayor would be defeated so easily. Moreover, they were astonished to reali

Adrian's attack crashed down upon his enemies with unstoppable force, tearing through the front line with ease. Despite this, the remaining enemies remained steadfast and charged forward. Seeing their suicidal attempt, Adrian was speechless. He knew these fighters were Eastanians, people renowned for their extreme obedience to authority. They had to follow orders from their superiors without question, and their loyalty was absolute. Although Adrian had heard of their fanatical discipline, witnessing it firsthand was another matter entirely."Drop dead!" Adrian shouted, deciding to end this madness. Given their relentless aggression, he saw no reason to hold back.Adrian unleashed a devastating attack that engulfed all the remaining enemies, and it was only now that they realized that their numbers meant nothing against Adrian’s overwhelming power."Defend!" the leader shouted.But it was futile. Adrian's attack shattered the barrier around them and crushed them. When the dust settl
