Adam and his group returned to the Clover Kingdom; without the help of a Spatial Magic Knight, traveling back and forth was too arduous.
Adam not only left Xiao Shui in the Heart Kingdom, but also left Xiao Lan (Little Blue) there to train, hoping she might bring him a surprise.
Just like Xiao Shui!
The Water Demon Power in Adam's body was even stronger than before he created Xiao Shui; it was an indescribable feeling.
"It's time to try new moves."
Xiao Shui's feedback was excellent; Adam, without the power of a horse or dog, could once again rely on the power of water to avoid damage.
Yami took Asta and a few others to the Royal Capital. The Magic Emperor seemed to have called a captains' meeting to discuss the details of cooperation with the Heart Kingdom.
Furthermore, Vanessa and her group returned from a mission in the Diamond Kingdom and witnessed the Spade Kingdom's invasion of the Diamond Kingdom.
And a guy emanating a chilling aura easily subdued the Diamond Kingdom's army; even the Eight Shining Generals were no match for him.
Everyone understood the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.' If the Diamond Kingdom were destroyed, would the Heart and Clover Kingdoms be far behind?
However, the Diamond Kingdom was still an enemy force, and the Clover Kingdom still needed to accumulate strength to prepare for the counterattack in six months.
"How was it, Captain Yami?"
Yami and a few others emerged from the Spatial Tunnel. Finral was so overworked by the captain that he even forgot his sorrow.
After all, a guy who even used a Spatial Magic Knight to go to the toilet was truly something else.
"Everyone, seize this time to cultivate. In half a year, we will launch a counterattack against the Spade Kingdom. There will also be another opportunity to train in the Heart Kingdom soon, so make the most of it!"
Yami was surprisingly reliable for once. He also needed to find a strong person to "force" him to once again surpass his limits.
Mastering the mana zone was very important for his upcoming battles... The next morning.
There were still some days before Fana and her group returned, and Adam was preparing to visit the Diamond Kingdom.
He learned from Peiqika that there was a tribe in the Diamond Kingdom's hinterland that worshipped a white tiger, and he planned to go there to try his luck.
Adam, map in hand and his mood settled, set off for the Diamond Kingdom.
On the other side, Latin, who had already acquired four types of demonic energy, was surprisingly unable to defeat Zenon, who released 70% of his devil power.
He fled in disarray. Latin, who had worked so hard for so long to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Diamond Kingdom, had all his efforts shattered by this overpowered monster.
Not only was the army completely annihilated, but he himself was also severely wounded.
Spatial Magic + Bone Magic, this member of The Dark Triad from the Spade Kingdom was truly too insidious.
"No matter what, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I have to go in and get that thing."
Latin had only recently found the location of the next demonic energy, but before he could prepare, the area was occupied by the Spade Kingdom.
"Damn it!"
...Xiaofeng Town!
"So they're all here."
Adam hid at the edge of the town. It had already been occupied by the Spade Kingdom. The residents of this small town were gone, leaving only soldiers standing at the entrance.
In the center of the town was a huge war machine, with the Spade Kingdom's flag hanging on it. Adam transformed into a bee and came here, only to witness an extremely infuriating scene.
"No!"
The soldiers were using the people of the Diamond Kingdom as fuel for the giant fortress. Once this magic tool drained their magic, only death awaited them.
"Beasts!"
Adam couldn't watch any longer. After transforming back into human form, he kicked through the glass and charged straight in.
"Who are you?"
The soldier, who was about to fire a shot, immediately looked at Adam in terror. What awaited him was only a scorching Dragon Blast.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers outside, hearing the commotion, immediately sounded the alarm, and the entire war fortress began to operate.
"Roar of the Sea Dragon."
A giant sea dragon blasted away the soldiers who had broken through the entrance. The people here were already dead, so Adam had to leave quickly.
Adam transformed into a bee again and flew towards the center of the town. There were many such war fortresses, standing around the town like nails driven into the body of the Diamond Kingdom, constantly draining the nation's vitality.
This country had already lost the war, without even a chance for peace talks. Its people were being used as fuel for the enemy to invade the next country, with only death awaiting them.
Adam flew to the center of the town, where there was a huge deep pit, and an enormous war fortress was suspended above it.
This was the sacrificial site of Xiaofeng Town. Legend had it that fierce beasts existed below, and the residents of this town would throw large amounts of food down every year to ensure the town's safety.
Adam flew straight down. The further down he went, the lower the tunnel's temperature became, and the narrower the tunnel grew.
"Poison Magic, Slime Lizard!"
"Electric Light Spear!"
There was a light ahead, and before Adam could fly there, he heard the sounds of battle from below. As soon as he entered this space, he saw a golden Electric Light Spear pierce the chest of a middle-aged man.
Several corpses of Spade soldiers lay on the ground, and a figure somewhat familiar to Adam appeared here.
"I can't kill your master, but I can certainly deal with you, can't I?"
Latin stomped on the head of a Pitch-black Apostles, fiercely venting his anger. Just then, he seemed to sense something, abruptly turned around, and hurled an Electric Light Spear: "Die!"
"Dragon Blast!"
Adam quickly transformed back into human form. This guy's nose was more sensitive than a dog's, and his aim was incredibly accurate. If he didn't transform back, he'd be electrocuted into charcoal.
Flames and the electric spear collided, creating a loud "bang." Smoke billowed, and countless green electric orbs shot out from the smoke, heading straight for Adam.
"Super Dragon Blast!"
Adam quickly retaliated. The entire vibrant space was rendered a horrific mess by their battle.
Just then, several Spade Kingdom soldiers came down from above. They had arrived at just the right time. Before they could even use their magic, they were crushed into dust.
Such heart-wrenching screams made Latin somewhat confused. Wasn't this guy a pursuer from the Spade Kingdom?
Why was he even killing his own comrades?
Latin released electric orbs while carefully recalling. This peculiar magic power, combined with the unique attack style, and that blurry figure he glimpsed earlier, seemed like that man!
Latin quickly shook his head. That was impossible. Adam couldn't be here. He was comfortable in the Clover Kingdom; why would he come to a place like this?
Latin thought about it and decided to test him. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Is that you, Adam!"
"What the...?"
Adam felt this voice was somewhat familiar, coupled with that familiar aura. The blurry figure and the fatty in his mind bore some resemblance.
He had lost a lot of weight!
"Are you Latin?"
The two of them, with a tacit understanding, stopped their attacks. They still wanted to confirm if the person opposite was indeed that annoying guy.
Cunning merchant / Brutal madman!
