Baron Cullen

The battle was over, and Adams, leaning on his sword, was panting heavily.

He looked at the two dead bodies lying on the ground and still felt a sense of unreality.

The extraordinary elements within his body were nearly depleted, and even the hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, the floor of the entire sewer room was almost entirely covered in blood and corpses.

Those who guarded the battleband, the Order Keepers, and the Mage Guild were finally wiped out through the combined efforts of the forces.

Everyone's face and body were stained with the blood of countless people, making them look utterly wretched.

But they knew it was what they should do, and what they had to do.

In this city, there must always be a group of people silently protecting peace in the shadows.

On the other side, Adams looked at Karen, preparing to share the good news, but his expression suddenly changed!

Karen was seen supporting himself with his greatsword, his body swaying as if he would collapse at any moment.

He trembled all over from repeatedly using the power of the mysterious runes.

His right eye was also experiencing excruciating pain, his vision was not only blurred, but blood was also constantly seeping out and dripping down, which was extremely horrifying!

"Karen!" Adams' heart skipped a beat. Ignoring his own injuries and exhaustion, he rushed towards the other person, shouting, "Quick, a few people come! Karen can't hold on much longer!"

Upon hearing this, everyone who had been beaming with joy at their victory paled in disbelief!

Everyone looked at Karen, who was not far away, and then they all rushed over.

They all knew that if it weren't for this young man, they would never have been able to find this extremely hidden underground cave.

Moreover, if this young man hadn't almost risked his life in the fight, they might have already lost most of their men.

"Karen, look me in the eyes! Are you alright? Don't fall asleep, say something!"

The members of the battle group were the first to come to Karen's side, carefully supporting him, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Mage! Is there anyone who knows healing magic? Come quickly and heal my wounds!" Adams was starting to panic.

If Karen hadn't reminded him earlier, he would never have been a match for those two black-robed leaders.

He might not even survive if he were facing just one of them.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot let Karen die here.

"I can! I'm a second-tier mage, and I've learned several second-tier healing spells at the guild!"

At this moment, a female mage dressed in a simple robe hurriedly stepped out from the group of mages.

Her once fair face was now stained with blood, her eyes still filled with fear, and her whole body trembled slightly from the excessive use of magic.

But she knew that now was not the time to rest.

The young baron in front of her, who was somewhat famous in the City of No Breath, had made great contributions in this operation, and she absolutely could not watch him die before her eyes.

"Wilhelmina, don't worry, we'll all channel supernatural elements into you!" the mages beside her hurriedly said. "Focus on casting healing spells; Baron Karen's life depends on you!"

Seeing this, Wilhelmina nodded emphatically and immediately went to Karen's side.

She raised her hands, aiming them at Karen, who lay on the ground, unconscious and weak, while rapidly chanting a spell.

As a surge of extraordinary elements rose from her body, a burst of emerald light began to emanate from her palm, quickly enveloping Karen entirely.

"it works!"

Adams, who was standing to the side, saw that Karen, whose face had been as pale as snow, had finally regained some color, and a look of joy finally appeared on his anxious face.

But just then, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out, rapidly approaching Wilhelmina, who was concentrating on casting healing magic!

boom! ! !

Adams reacted swiftly, quickly channeling his extraordinary elemental power to deflect the sudden attack with his sword!

After a loud bang, a mist with a faint green hue immediately enveloped him.

"Everyone back off! This fog is poisonous!" Adams' pupils contracted, and he immediately pulled away from the poisonous fog and retreated rapidly.

Even so, the skin on his body that was not covered by clothing gradually turned a strange bluish-black color!

"Who is it?!"

"There are still people here!"

"Everyone on alert! Protect Karen and Wilhelmina!"

In an instant, everyone gripped their weapons again and took their positions with perfect understanding, surrounding Karen and Wilhelmina in the middle.

crunch.

A jarring sound of a door opening rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the iron door on the other side of the room had been opened again.

A man, also draped in a black robe with his face hidden under a hood, slowly walked out of the door.

He held in his hand a long staff that looked like it was carved from the skeleton of some kind of creature, with a constantly writhing, eerie green eyeball firmly bound to its tip.

With his arrival, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

"Four...fourth tier?!"

At this moment, Adams, the most powerful among them, stood at the head.

But after sensing the extremely cold aura emanating from the other party, a look of despair even appeared on his already ugly face!

Standing before them was actually a fourth-tier transcendent!

For a moment, the room was deathly silent.

Fourth-tier extraordinary!

This level of skill is enough to be considered a true master, and no one would underestimate them anywhere.

"Hmm... Warband, Mage Guild, and Order Keepers, I didn't expect you all to come." The man in black robes looked at the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Derek, who had lost all will to fight. "Oh, and there's this poor fellow from the Knights of Favonius."

The words fell silent, but no one answered.

Even Adams, who possessed the strength of a third-tier cultivator, could only grip his two swords tightly at this moment, staring intently at the man in black robes, fearing that the other party might make any unusual moves.

"Nobody wants to say anything?" The man in black robes slowly scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Karen: "Hmm... that kid seems to be able to see some unusual things."

"Perfect timing, I need to replace the eyes on my staff anyway, I'll use yours!"

As he spoke, he slowly raised the bone staff in his hand.

Adams's expression changed drastically, and he shouted a warning: "Everyone, retreat! Focus on defense!"

But it was too late.

The man in the black robe uttered a few obscure syllables, and the eerie green eyeball at the tip of his bone staff suddenly burst forth with a blinding light!

The next moment, three distorted phantoms exuding intense resentment appeared out of thin air!

They emitted extremely piercing shrieks and pounced on the three closest individuals with incredible speed.

The three of them didn't even have time to make a move before the distorted phantom passed right through them!

Their movements froze instantly, their expressions frozen between astonishment and fear.

Immediately afterwards, black blood began to seep from their seven orifices, and their skin turned ashen and withered at a visible speed, as if all the blood in their bodies had been drained in an instant!

In just two or three breaths, the three men collapsed, lifeless.

Instant kill!

This is the terrifying power of a fourth-tier transcendent!

"It's a wizard! He's a fourth-tier wizard!" Adams' eyes widened in horror, his voice screaming, "I'll hold him off, you all get out of here, quick!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Members of the Order Keepers and several warbands stepped forward and stood behind Adams, clearly indicating that they would die together.

"Are you all crazy?! He's a fourth-tier wizard!" Adams glared fiercely at his comrades. "I'm the strongest here, and I can hold him off for a while."

"You must immediately take Karen and the captured civilians back to the surface, or we'll all die here!"

"But Captain..."

One of the Order Keepers was clearly unwilling to accept this arrangement, but Adams interrupted him before he could finish speaking:

"No buts! I'm the captain! What are the rules for the Order Keepers?"

Unconditionally obey all decisions made by superiors!

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, they gritted their teeth and turned around. Some of them carefully helped Karen up, while others quickly broke open the cage to rescue the captured people.

After everyone left, the room became empty, leaving only Adams and the fourth-tier wizard.

At that moment, Adams took a deep breath and resolutely walked towards the fourth-tier wizard.

Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, his comrades who had gone through life and death together were brutally murdered by them.

In addition, someone must stay behind to cover the retreat; otherwise, no one can escape alive in the face of a fourth-tier transcendent being.

At this moment, Adams recalled what Cullen had just said:

"I just did what I was supposed to do. Even if it weren't me, someone else would have!"

Yes.

For the sake of peace, someone always has to stand up.

And now, it's his turn!

A resolute thought flashed through Adams' mind in an instant.

He gripped the two swords tightly, instantly draining all the extraordinary elements from his body and pouring them into this single sword strike!

"Damn beast!" Adams sneered, his face devoid of fear. "Go to hell!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he dashed off like an arrow released from a bow!
