“It seems we must defeat this giant serpent to pass this trial,” Tyron commented.“It’s just a mere beast. There’s nothing to fear. Watch me!” Adrian replied. With a shout, he leaped into the air.While everyone else was terrified by the sight of the giant serpent, Adrian boldly charged forward.“Look, there’s someone up there!” the crowd exclaimed in shock as they saw Adrian attacking the serpent.“Is he insane? He’s throwing himself to his death!”“Who cares? That’s one less competitor. It’ll bring us closer to victory!”Adrian ignored their comments and faced the giant serpent head-on. The massive head loomed over him, ready to devour him in a single bite. The serpent seemed intrigued by this small creature daring to confront it and didn’t immediately attack. Instead, it studied Adrian closely.“What are you staring at? Never seen your master before?” Adrian barked, his sword glowing with energy as he slashed forward, aiming for the serpent’s vulnerable spot.Sensing the dan

If he didn’t need to think about the bigger picture, Tyron would have loved to deal with these troublemakers right there and then.The giant serpent roared, its massive body crashing down on the small humans."Everyone, follow my lead! Form up!" Adrian commanded.Despite facing a massive beast, everyone stood their ground. Under Adrian’s direction, the group formed a defensive line against the serpent’s attack. The serpent's assault hit hard, and Adrian felt an immense weight on him. Even though the pressure was shared among eight people, it felt like a mountain to him.Tyron shouted, "What are you waiting for? Do you really think you'll be spared if we’re defeated? Ridiculous! We’ll all die together!""He's right. We can’t just stand by. We need to help.""Exactly. If they die, we all die. Let’s go!"Finally, some people were ready to join the fight. Tyron quickly counted a few dozen who were prepared to step in. He then turned to Magath and demanded, "What about you, Magath? A

For a moment, they were at a standstill.As the current leader, Magath quickly assessed the situation and considered their options.Suddenly, a light appeared before them, accompanied by a male voice saying, "I can help you eliminate the giant snake and deal with those other guys as well. The question is, are you willing to pay the price?"Startled, Magath demanded, "Who’s there?"The light twisted and flickered, quickly taking the shape of a human figure. The figure was only a shadowy silhouette, its face obscured, but the aura it emitted was immensely powerful. As the shadowy figure appeared before them, the pressure made it difficult for Magath and the others to breathe.The shadow responded, "Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that I can help you achieve your goal. As I said, are you willing?"Magath and his group hesitated, unsure how to respond to the shadow's offer."Maybe we should agree, Magath. We don't have any other options right now, so we might as well take

The group, who had been on the brink of despair, exclaimed in delight, "Really? That’s fantastic!"Magath, on the other hand, felt disdain and anger. He sneered. "Hmph, so what? You’re still headed for a dead end."As soon as he finished speaking, Magath's group quickly formed a powerful formation. Countless streams of malevolent aura converged around them, gradually taking on the shape of a daemonic god. It had three heads and six arms, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance. As it emerged, it brought an overwhelming sense of pressure to the battlefield.At that moment, one of the elders stepped forward. "As I suspected, it’s you. I didn’t think you would reveal yourself in such a manner."This was Kayne Hickman of Purecastle, standing tall in the wind, a sword case strapped to his back. With his long beard flowing, he appeared like an immortal descended from the heavens.The six eyes of the daemonic god’s shadow glared at Kayne coldly as it spoke, "Human desire is boundless.

A powerful daemonic god was sealed beneath Purecastle—the same daemonic god they had just encountered. As the seal weakened, the daemonic god's activity became more frequent.After hearing Orson’s explanation, one apprentice remarked, "That daemonic god didn’t seem very powerful. With our strength, we could easily handle it.""Yeah, we could definitely defeat that daemonic god!" another added.Orson shook his head. "It’s not as simple as you think. What we faced was just the daemonic god's shadow. Its true form hasn’t even appeared yet. Worse, the daemonic god has many followers.""The daemonic god has followers? Believers?" Adrian asked.Orson confirmed, "Yes, he has a frighteningly large number of them."In response, an apprentice complained, "Why did we even join Purecastle? We might as well go back home and enjoy our lives.""Exactly. We thought joining Purecastle would be beneficial, but now it looks like we might lose our lives instead. It’s not worth it."Several apprent
