Tyron watched in surprise. The gap between him and Adrian was far greater than he had imagined. Even though they were both at the Nascent Stage, they seemed worlds apart. Words couldn’t capture the disparity.When the third sword struck, it was overwhelmingly fierce. The sword sliced through the air like a storm, tearing through the sky in an instant.“Ack! Ack!” Madi fell to his knees, coughing up blood. He realized that Adrian’s earlier claim—that he would be defeated in three moves—was true.Under the relentless assault of Adrian’s sword techniques, Madi had no excuse. He was beaten not just by sheer power but by the brilliance and complexity of Adrian’s swordplay. His defeat was not due to strength but to Adrian’s superior technique and his own lack of understanding.Filled with rage, Madi glared at Adrian. “I’ll kill you!” And without another word, he fled at high speed.Tyron watched in astonishment. Adrian was puzzled. Why had Madi run away instead of fighting as he had pro

The power surged violently into Adrian's body, causing him immense shock and awe. The intensity was beyond his expectations. "Such tremendous strength!" He was astonished by the unexpected force.Boom! Boom! Boom!The energy felt like a raging storm and chaotic lightning, terrifying in its ferocity.Adrian’s amazement grew as the power flowed into him, reaching saturation almost instantly. The torrent was overwhelming, and he was quietly astonished. The power seemed to break through his limits, reaching a new level of terror.“Not bad. Not bad at all,” Adrian said with a smile, pleased with the increase in his strength. His power was now truly formidable.Tyron was also deeply impressed. His own power had improved significantly, but Adrian’s breakthrough was astonishing. It seemed Adrian was nearing an even more terrifying realm. Tyron had not expected such rapid progress. Adrian appeared exceptionally formidable.“If you could unleash that power, it wouldn’t be this simple,” Adr

As the crowd approached the golden mountain, they saw flashes of light emanating from it as if a powerful treasure was about to emerge.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The violent force surged through the air, leaving everyone inwardly astonished. It felt like an extraordinary treasure was hidden within.Adrian’s expression turned cold as he observed the scene. The place was indeed intimidating.Tyron, standing beside him, had a sharp look in his eyes. “Mr. Adrian, it seems the things here might pose some danger to us. We should be cautious.”Tyron seemed to sense something, leaving Adrian both surprised and intrigued. “Is that so? I wonder what exactly this place holds,” he mused.Since Tyron was a daemon, the presence of the treasure might have a suppressive effect on him. Adrian suspected it might be a sacred treasure. Tyron’s mind raced with thoughts. If that were the case, he needed to investigate further.Adrian quickened his pace, eager to discover what was hidden within the gold

Tyron looked into Adrian's eyes, understanding that the latter had spoken with careful consideration. To disagree now would show a lack of trust. "In that case, let’s go. I trust your judgment," he said firmly.In his mind, this was the time to rely on Adrian. Any doubt now would strain their bond. Adrian felt a slight satisfaction—mutual trust was crucial when advancing together. Adrian’s decision was based on his instincts. Ignoring those instincts and moving forward blindly would only lead to disaster.The two pushed through the crowd and made their way toward the mountaintop. Those watching were shocked."They’re walking straight into death," an old man muttered, while the younger onlookers grew uneasy."Let’s see if they make it. If they do, the danger’s likely passed, and we can follow," the crowd reasoned.Still, many hesitated, unwilling to move forward. The danger was clear, and one wrong step could lead to death. They had come to the secret realm for treasures, but peris

The two pressed on through the void, their surroundings growing increasingly intense. Suddenly, a blinding light appeared ahead, so bright it nearly overwhelmed them. Sensing imminent danger, Adrian quickly reinforced the formation, bracing for the impact.In an instant, a violent torrent of force crashed against them. The power of the assault was immense, like an iron hammer smashing into the formation. Waves of golden light erupted, transforming into a dazzling array of colors. The space around them shook violently, fragments of the void shattering and battering their shield with relentless energy.Tyron was horrified. "Adrian, this place is terrifying. Without your formation, we’d be dead by now," he said, his face pale from shock.Adrian’s expression grew harder, his eyes sharp with focus. "This place is indeed dangerous," he agreed. "But don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you die. If it comes to that, I’ll go first."Tyron was deeply moved by Adrian’s words, and his
