Upon hearing these words, the soldiers felt their blood surge with excitement. The prospect of enhancing their strength was the greatest motivation they could ask for.Adrian fixed his gaze on the distant horizon and commanded, "Let's move. Begin the hunt. The Second Prince should be somewhere deep within the Great Dragon Mountain."His instincts told him the heart of the mountain concealed the Second Prince's location. The presence of such a well-entrenched group suggested that something extraordinary was at stake.Without hesitation, Adrian led his men forward at an astonishing speed.Suddenly, deafening tremors echoed.Adrian's expression hardened as his eyes assessed the unfolding situation.The tremors clearly resulted from a violent clash between the Ciawales soldiers and the Primeria forces.Yet Adrian's focus remained elsewhere—on the performance of his own trained men.Were they truly as formidable as they appeared? Strength alone wasn't enough. Only results would reve

The terrifying nature of this place became clear: one wrong move could lead to certain death. Invisible forces seemed to drain life while creating a bizarre illusion of tranquility.In an instant, the forest before them began to shatter. The space around them and the towering trees crumbled uncontrollably."Sir Adrian, I fear we've entered a formation. I've heard there are forbidden zones within the Great Dragon Mountain—places ordinary people can never enter," Tyler said, his eyes filled with concern as he anxiously scanned the area.Adrian’s eyes sharpened, his gaze piercing. "Stay close and don’t stray. Follow me carefully."Having come this far, Adrian was determined to uncover what monsters and forces lay hidden here. He never backed down."Yes, Sir Adrian!" the soldiers replied in unison, their unwavering loyalty to Adrian evident.For them, his leadership was absolute.Wielding mysterious power, Adrian felt as if nothing could stand in his way. His eyes glowed with golden

Suddenly, Adrian was struck by a terrifying force and lost control of his body."Damn it!"As Adrian lay unconscious, his final thought echoed in his mind. He had believed the space-time portal in front of him was just like any other.Who could have predicted how violent it truly was? It defied all reason.Now, Adrian was powerless to do anything.Time passed slowly.Eventually, he became aware of his surroundings. Pain coursed through his body, and he realized someone was lifting him.Adrian slowly opened his eyes, his bones crackling loudly."You're awake, Sir Adrian," Tyler called out.Adrian looked up sharply, noticing Tyler and the other soldiers watching him with concern."Huh?" Adrian's confusion grew.Looking around, he realized he was being carried on a stretcher. The soldiers' eyes filled with relief and joy as they gazed at him."What happened?" Adrian asked, puzzled.How were they all fine while he was gravely injured?"Sir Adrian, you saved our lives," Tyler

"What is that?" The soldiers were shaken to their core. Adrian had been right—a Fusion Stage beast was indeed approaching, and its presence was overwhelmingly terrifying.Violent gusts of wind tore through the area, as if ripping apart the fabrics of space.Desperation took hold as the soldiers carried Adrian, running frantically toward safety.Tyler, maintaining a sliver of composure, scanned the surroundings. "There's a cave up ahead. No signs of any beasts nearby. We can take shelter there."The soldiers raised their heads. Several kilometers away, partially obscured by a towering ancient tree, they spotted a cave.It was an astonishing discovery—a glimmer of hope amidst their dire predicament.Tyler's keen eyes left the group momentarily stunned. To spot a cave at such a distance was impressive, a testament to his sharp observation skills.Without hesitation, the soldiers moved swiftly toward the cave, carrying Adrian at an incredible speed.Adrian noticed the cave as the

Tyler's eyes hardened. "This is bad! That's an Ancient Ram Beast, a pinnacle Fusion Stage creature. It's a vicious monster, known for its horns, which can unleash devastating lightning attacks."The soldiers immediately panicked. The beast's terrifying reputation left them stunned and fearful.As the Ancient Ram Beast charged toward them, Tyler glanced at Adrian, his face showing a trace of helplessness."Sir Adrian is still training. We must protect him at all costs—no matter what happens, we cannot let him come to harm."Upon hearing this, the soldiers exchanged uneasy glances.They knew there was no choice.

Their mission was clear: shield him from harm, no matter the cost.Their resolve was unwavering. They could not afford to let anything happe
