"Let's see where you run to now!"Adrian's shout echoed as a powerful attack rushed toward the elusive figure. Although he didn't use his full strength, the strike still possessed earth-shattering might.The figure had no chance to dodge and could only endure the onslaught. The strike pierced through the figure, yet the figure did not cry out. Instead, it vanished without a trace right before Adrian's eyes.Adrian's heart skipped a beat. He had aimed straight at the figure. It was impossible for it to have vanished just like that.Suddenly, laughter from the surroundings interrupted his thoughts. The unseen figure mocked, "Haha, do you think you can catch me? Dream on!"The mysterious laughter echoed as if the unseen figure was toying with him. Before Adrian could react, an energy blast struck toward him. The strike rushed toward him with the intention to kill. However, Adrian was no weakling and easily withstood the attack.The other party seemed determined not to let him off th

"Let me handle this." Dragon Prince, who was standing on the side, stepped forward.Adrian stepped aside. Despite having followed him for a long time, Dragon Prince hadn't displayed any impressive abilities. Adrian was eager to witness Dragon Prince's capabilities.As Dragon Prince neared the fallen man, Adrian noticed a mysterious power emanating from Dragon Prince. This power made Adrian feel that Dragon Prince had become somewhat unfamiliar. It was like he was no longer the same Dragon Prince he first met.The assailant was stunned when they met Dragon Prince's gaze as everything about him had been laid bare. Dragon Prince remained silent, seemingly unfazed. Adrian’s group found the situation peculiar.Observing the strange interaction, Vardala approached Adrian and said in confusion, "Mr. Adrian, where did you find this person? Something feels off."Adrian frowned. Had Dragon Prince's true identity been uncovered? Adrian hadn't disclosed Dragon Prince's background to the spiri

Adrian immediately rejected the idea, and everyone turned their attention to him.He explained, "Doing so would be equivalent to stirring up trouble. We can’t take that approach."While they didn’t know what he meant by “stirring up trouble,” they understood that Adrian must have had his reasons.“So, what's your plan, sir?""Let’s try this instead." Adrian smiled mysteriously.Unsure of his intentions, the group felt a sense of confusion. To alleviate their concerns, Adrian openly shared his thoughts.“Th-That’s too…”The revelation shocked everyone. No one had anticipated Adrian to come up with such an outlandish plan. Despite their surprise, the group refrained from commenting as they didn't have any better plans. After some contemplation, they all agreed to it.Meanwhile, something was happening in the Aquanic Tribe’s base. This vast region, although isolated, attracted numerous summoners. Initially, the tribe consisted of exiles, but as time passed, many summoners chose to

“Look at this place! It’s so lively!” Adrian seemed happy with the inn, looking at the smiling patrons.Meanwhile, the rest of the group was still nervous. They then looked around and realized there were many people in the inn. Everyone sat in groups, chatting away happily and unbothered by their arrival. They could finally relax now.Adrian waved to a server. “Over here, sir! We’d like to order!”“Coming!” a server called out.Adrian observed the inn. Although this place belonged to summoners, it was decorated similarly to a human inn. The rules of conduct were the same as well.A few seconds later, a summoner working as a waiter came by their table, looking happy to see them. “I’ve never seen you guys around here before. Is this your first time in Aquanic?”“Yes, it is,” Adrian said, “We heard many things about the Aquanic Tribe, so we thought we’d check it out.”“That’s great!” The waiter smiled.Compared to summoners in other places, the summoners here were less prejudiced

Clang!A clashing sound of metal rang out as the shadow and Adrian collided. A powerful shockwave was formed and spread out.Whoosh!Adrian was shocked by the attacker’s level of strength. It was on par with his own. He had not expected the person to be so powerful.‘Well, I guess there’s no need for him to go easy then!’ Adrian got ready to throw his second hit.But just as he was charging, the shadow stopped. “Are you a human?” it asked.Adrian was taken aback. He answered after a beat, “You’re human too?”He then felt a little foolish. Of course, only another human would ask him such a question. He felt silly to have asked such an unnecessary question.The shadow finally revealed itself to be a man. As he walked toward Adrian, he saw that it was a young man in his early 20s who looked like a scholarly individual. If not for the powerful attack earlier, Adrian would have assumed that he was just a regular man.“Who are you?” Adrian asked, not bothering to be polite.After a
