Shadowblade trembled violently. Everyone's jaws dropped, shocked by Adrian's powerful move which grievously wounded Shadowblade so swiftly. The battle, however, was far from over.A figure tore through the sky and a sword brimming with lethal intent slashed down, severing Shadowblade's arms. Rozi appeared before Shadowblade, grabbed his neck, and aimed her sword at his head. Shadowblade erupted with a powerful aura that sent her flying. The blast also knocked Adrian away, but he quickly steadied himself in mid-air.Then, Shadowblade's severed limbs regrew before their eyes. The gash in his torso that Adrian had inflicted quickly healed as well."You can't kill me unless you destroy my core. To all of you, I'm an immortal in the genuine sense," boasted Shadowblade."Is that so? Looks like I’ll have to grind you to dust before I can be rid of you then," Adrian retorted."You will no longer have that chance, unfortunately.”Shadowblade swiftly appeared behind Adrian, launching n

Everyone watched with bated breath as their final hope seemed indomitable.Shadowblade, having been grievously wounded by the trio, was now utterly crazed. Although he had been torn into two a second time, he reappeared once again. This time though, it was evident that the vast energy he once possessed had greatly diminished. "Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!" he roared furiously, wishing nothing more than to annihilate every human in sight.Shadowblade then unleashed a force even more powerful than ever before. He was starting to show his true capabilities. As quick as lightning, he appeared behind Rozi and punched her. Despite sensing the attack, she could not evade him.With his newfound ferocity, Shadowblade impaled Rozi with his black sword and sent her flying. Somehow, she managed to stabilize herself mid-air and, much to Shadowblade’s shock, rapidly healed her wound. This was a clear sign she possessed Divine Worms too."What?! You have the Divine Worms in you too?!"

Adrian and Rozi had built a solid relationship over the past eighteen years that they no longer needed to use words to communicate. The pair lifted their swords and launched themselves out like lightning as Marissa looked out for an opportunity to strike. She also screeched to threaten Shadowblade and keep him on his toes.A radiant aura of light emanated from Adrian and Rozi, signaling they were exerting all their power. In close coordination, their assault once again bore down on Shadowblade. Although still formidable, Shadowblade's momentum was clearly disrupted. As the pair attacked from front and back, Shadowblade surrounded himself with countless black swords to counter their assault. The fight was intense, and multiple explosions broke out, creating mushroom clouds that rose into the air.It looked like the mountain would be obliterated at any second."We need to get out of here!" Strider yelled as the mountain shook violently. Pushing through his pain, he scooped up Jerome

"Look out!"Kaboom!A powerful explosion erupted in the sky above Mount Regent, sending out shockwaves that almost destroyed all of Millionth Mountains. Strider and the others quickly took cover as the mountain was swept away by powerful winds that destroyed everything in their path.Adrian and Rozi, still up in the sky, were engulfed by the blast and disappeared within the glaring light. Marissa too was caught in the blast and blasted toward a distant mountain. The aftermath of the explosion lasted for approximately ten minutes. The shockwaves slowly subsided, and the smoke in the sky slowly cleared. As the smoke dissipated, Adrian and Rozi were seen plummeting to the ground. The former was bleeding, while the latter had multiple holes throughout her body.Neither of them looked as threatening as they were a moment ago, but neither did Shadowblade. He fell toward the ground too. The intense shockwaves had unexpectedly inflicted severe damage on him."Father!" Nova screamed. She

Nova quickly crawled over to Adrian. Her tears streamed down her face as she grabbed his hand. "Father… Father, are you okay?" she cried.Adrian, though motionless, had a weak smile as he looked at Nova. "I'm okay," he answered.Nova was inconsolable. This was her first time feeling her father's love after so many years of her life. She did not wish to lose that love so soon.Adrian was deeply moved when he heard his daughter's cries. He forced himself to raise his arm to stroke her hair and said, "This isn't over yet, Nova. I've still got a trick up my sleeve.""You mean we still have a chance?”Adrian nodded firmly. "Yes, we do."A glimmer of hope lit up in Nova’s heart, but that was when Shadowblade approached with a sneer on his face. "A father-daughter reunion? How lovely. Unfortunately, it's time for the both of you to die.""Us? Die? You seem to have overestimated your abilities." Adrian chuckled."Have you not realized that death has come for you?""I think death is he
