"Tell us!"Everyone was intrigued. Adrian paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then proceeded to explain the situation. While enduring the opponent's attacks earlier, he had been quietly observing the opponent's condition. He sensed that the individual's body contained a formidable dragon power. Therefore, he inferred that the dragon phantom should be one of the dragon souls among the Nine Dragon Spirits.Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. If only one dragon soul possessed such terrifying power, then how formidable would the combined power of the nine dragons be? Everyone fell silent for a while."But I still have doubts. If that was a dragon soul, why didn't it annihilate us? Instead, it left," Lamar wondered aloud.In fact, everyone was confused by this. They were puzzled about the actions of the dragon soul, not understanding why it behaved in such a manner."Perhaps because its strength isn’t complete," Adrian analyzed, "During our fight, I realized that the

Seeing Lamar calm down, Frosch stepped forward slowly. While he didn't allow Lamar to take the lead, he himself moved forward with determination.Upon witnessing this, Alfie exclaimed, "Mr. Frosch!"But Frosch ignored him and pushed open the door.Creak…Although there were many people outside the door, these people understood they were facing the formidable Frosch. When the door opened, they all became more alert."Where's Alfie? Why isn't he coming out? Is he scared of us?" the leader of the group sneered."What's there to be afraid of? Do you think I'm scared of you?" a voice said as a figure emerged from the distance.The one who spoke wasn't Frosch, but Alfie. He looked heroic, and his sharp purple-gold spear emitted a terrifying gleam. His gaze was piercingly sharp.As Alfie's mocking words rang out, the black-clothed man scowled, his expression turning cold. "You’re finally showing yourself! You’re dead meat!""We’ll see who’s the last one standing today," Alfie retorte

Adrian didn't even need his sword to deal with the black-clothed man.The black-clothed man struggled to get up, coughing up blood several times. But even so, he refused to yield. "Hmph, it doesn't matter if I perish here today. You're all doomed anyway!"With that declaration, an urgent rush of footsteps came from afar. Undoubtedly, more enemies were coming."Let's retreat!" Adrian declared without hesitation.Considering their numerical disadvantage, lingering would only exacerbate their perilous situation. Frosch and the others voiced no objections. At this juncture, they had to prioritize the bigger picture. Where there was life, there was hope. As long as they remained alive, a day would come when they could rise again."Follow this road eastward. There's a forest thirty miles ahead. We'll meet there before dawn!" Adrian instructed.Alfie sensed something was amiss. "Before dawn? What are you planning, Mr. Adrian? Aren't you coming with us?"Adrian didn't conceal his intent

"Not bad, kid. I'll give you that," Ralph said sternly. Adrian faced Ralph with an equally stern expression. Both of them had not exerted their full power in their previous exchanges, but the situation was different now. A formidable aura emanated from both of them."You too," Adrian replied calmly. He then shot forward like an arrow and closed the distance between them."Hah! So what if you're fast?" Ralph sneered. "Speed is useless before me! Attack!" Ralph then became like a ferocious dragon, lunging toward Adrian with terrifying speed and power.Boom! They clashed in mid-air and generated a powerful shockwave that spread throughout the area. Ralph was shocked as he had not expected Adrian to be so powerful. From what he saw, Adrian was not this powerful before, but his combat strength seemed to have suddenly increased. With this in mind, he glanced toward Adrian, only to find the latter was smirking at him. The smile was eerie, and it sent a chill down Ralph's spine."D

The group then found a secluded spot and sat down.Someone asked, "Who were those guys and why are they doing this?""No need to guess. The guy who ambushed us was Ralph Kines," Adrian said.Upon hearing this revelation, shock rippled through the crowd. Adrian then produced a corpse and put it on the ground. As everyone gathered around, he carefully removed the mask, exposing Ralph's face."How could this be…""There's nothing to be surprised about. From the first time I saw him, I knew he would end up like this one day. I just can’t believe he really did it," Alfie said. "So what do we do now?" someone asked."Maybe we can ask Mr. Dakota for help," Frosch suggested. "Mr. Dakota? Who’s that?" Adrian asked. “He's a mysterious elder. According to the Weber traditions, if the Nine Dragons break the seal, we can seek help from him," Frosch explained.Adrian nodded. It seemed that this man called Dakota possessed extraordinary status and identity."Alright, let's look for him,
