Adrian was not exaggerating in his statement. Helen and her group had gone through hellish training while in Bloody Rose and were experienced fighters. Just one of them could easily take on a hundred of Padraig and his men. Under such circumstances, the power of all thirty-seven of them was a force to be reckoned with. Their assistance would be of great help to Adrian's forces.Helen asked, "Are you sure you don't need our help, sir?""Gold Haven will be besieged at dawn, and the sun is almost up. The people there don’t have enough experience in battle, so I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. They're going to need your help.""Understood. Stay safe. Over and out.” Helen turned around and said, "Sisters, Sir Draco has instructed us to assist those at Gold Haven. It’s just nearby, so let's hurry over.” "Will he be okay alone?" Susan asked. "Relax, he'll be just fine. Let's go." "Yes, ma'am!" “You guys should come with us too," Helen said to Padraig, who nodded i

Adrian raised Dragonbane into the air, lodged the sword into the monster’s foot, and rolled away from the attack. As the monster jumped from the pain, Adrian held up his hand and recalled Dragonbane to his grasp. He then jumped above the monster’s head and slashed its neck. Slash!Drangonbane managed to slice into the monster's weakest part. Screaming in agony, the monster lashed out and tried to grab Adrian. However, he had already retreated to a safe distance. The pain the monster felt infuriated it. The monster stared at Adrian with its deadly gaze as it swung its scythe once more. It was going to be difficult for Adrian to eliminate the monster thoroughly. More importantly, he could not find any weakness that would allow him to kill the creature with a single strike. Thus, he could only return to dodging the monster's attacks while looking for another opportunity.But Adrian’s stamina was depleting, while the monster’s seemed endless. It tirelessly launched attacks, each on

After the face disappeared, Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. He sat on Grim's corpse to catch his breath. His clothes were completely drenched, and he was exhausted. However, he did not dare rest for too long as he was unsure of the situation at Gold Haven. After a few minutes, Adrian got up and was about to leave, when he spotted something black on Grim's body. The thing was lodged in Grim's head as if someone had performed surgery to implant it on the monster. It was a black metal block with runes on it, similar to the ones Adrian had seen in the past. "This again?" He frowned. Adrian carved out the stone with his sword and held it in his hand. The stone was the size of a goose's egg with runes all over it. This was not his first time coming across such a stone. The first time was at the basement in St.Elmer's Church, the second being at the top of the Apex Obelisk. However, this one had different runes. "Is this used to control the monsters?" he muttered.Adrian quickly push

Everyone retreated and ran for the underground parking lot. The city walls began to tremble even more now that nobody was defending them. It would not be long before they were destroyed. Oliver and Cian joined the other survivors in retreating.As the temporary defensive walls crumbled, the survivors dove into the parking lot, closing the fire-resistant doors behind them. The whole place was pitch-black, and everyone crumpled onto the floor, gasping raspily. "Everyone managed to retreat," Oliver said through his communicator.Padraig yelled out, "Ms. Helen! Everyone is safe and the walls have come down!" Helen returned to the truck and said, "Sisters, get in!" "Okay!"The women leaped into the air and grabbed the top of the truck with one hand, firing their guns at the surrounding monsters with the other. Padraig and his men felt like puking as they sat in the rattling container, unaccustomed to battling in such a crude way. Bam!!! The truck flew over the rubble of the wal

"Let's keep it short.” Adrian waved.Helen smiled wryly as she thought of their lives that were filled with twists and turns. She said, "Monarch Crystal gave us jobs after you saved us and sent us to Delven County. We lived our lives in peace for a while. We just got settled into ordinary life and were about to find life partners when suddenly everyone in the county disappeared, including many of our sisters. We found this place after we left the county, but what's happening?"Although Helen and the others had plucked up the courage to face whatever battles awaited them, they had no idea who or what they were up against.Adrian felt consoled after hearing her story. The Creator's reset was completely random, which meant everyone had a fifty percent chance of surviving the reset. The chaos was great, but he had a few advantages. Many talented people had been left behind and could be added to his forces. If the Creator could select who he wanted to reset, he would surely have erased t
