If he could gain such power from one stalker, imagine how powerful he would become after killing over one hundred of them.

The battle became a symphony of violence and light. Adrian moved with a speed that blurred the air. One Stalker lunged from a high ledge,. Adrian didn't even look; he caught the creature mid-air by its face and squeezed. A burst of purple light erupted, and the creature’s essence flowed into Adrian’s arm, its body turned to grey ash before it even hit the ground.

"More," Adrian growled, his voice vibrating with power.

He used the environment like a weapon. He kicked a massive pile of rusted silver shields, sending them flying like jagged discs into the crowd, decapitating Stalkers left and right. Every time a creature died near him, the purple aura around Adrian pulsed, pulling their energy toward him. He could feel his muscles getting tighter, his vision becoming sharper, and the heavy gravity of the Maw felt lighter with every soul he devoured.

    The General of Bone let out a scream of rage from his throne. He looked at the ruins of his army, his hands shaking with fury. "You monsters! You have destroyed the empire I spent centuries building! You have turned my kingdom into a pile of trash!"Adrian stepped forward, his eyes turning cold. "I told you what would happen if you didn't hand over the sword. I will give you one final chance, General. Kneel and serve me, and I will spare your life."The General let out a hollow, manic laugh. "Serve you? You think a few parlor tricks and a stolen aura make you a king? You fools! You think you are strong? I will show you what real power looks like!"The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly. The temperature dropped until the air turned to ice. The General raised both hands, and a massive, swirling green wind erupted from his chest. The ground began to groan as the very fortress started to move.The walls ripped apart. The floor buckled. Thousands of bones from the towers, the walls,

    The fight was a massacre, but Adrian was the one doing the killing. He was moving faster and faster, his purple flames growing taller with every soul he took.Meanwhile, Lyra was running through the cold, dark hallways of the treasury. She followed the hum of the magic she had known for centuries. She finally reached a massive gold door and pushed it open with all her strength.The room was filled with mountains of treasure, but she only had eyes for one thing. In the center of the room, embedded in a large, jagged black rock, was a slender silver blade. It glowed with a faint, pulsing light, as if it were a heart beating in the dark.She ran toward it, but before she could reach the rock, a shadow fell over her.Standing next to the sword was a giant statue made of dark, heavy stone. It looked like a king from a dead world, holding a massive stone sword. Lyra had thought it was just a decoration, but then the statue’s eyes glowed red.It looked really angry.The statue didn't ask que

    Suddenly, the beast's stomach began to glow. A bright, terrifying purple light shone through the gaps in its scales. The creature let out a roar of agony from its two heads. It thrashed its tails, smashing the pillars around it, but the pain was clearly coming from the inside.From the center of the beast's chest, a blade of purple light erupted. It did not just pierce the skin; it sliced upward with incredible force. The impenetrable scales were pushed aside from the inside as the blade cut through muscle and bone like a hot knife through butter.The beast was literally torn in two. One half of its massive body fell to the left, the other to the right, crashing onto the bone floor with a massive explosion of gore and grey scales.Adrian stepped out from the steaming remains of the creature. He was drenched from head to toe in thick, black beast blood, but he stood tall and unshaken. He lifted his chin into the air as the energy of the beast flowed from the lifeless body into him, an

    The beast let out a dual roar that shattered the glass ornaments in the room. It looked down at Adrian, its yellow eyes narrowing at the small human standing in its path.The General of Bone relaxed back into his throne, a cruel smile hidden behind his mask. He was ready to watch his beast feast on Adrian.The beast let out a roar that shook the very foundation of the tower. It lunged forward with a speed that Adrian had not expected. The floor shattered under its weight as it swept a massive claw across the arena. Adrian barely managed to leap over it, but the wind from the strike sent him tumbling across the bone tiles.He scrambled to his feet, panting. He swung his knife at the creature's front leg, but the blade simply bounced off the thick, grey scales with a loud metallic ring. The beast did not even flinch. Instead, its second head swung down, slamming its heavy horns into Adrian’s chest. He was sent flying backward, hitting the bone wall with a sickening thud.Lyra screamed,

    Adrian and Lyra walked through the silent, bone-white courtyard. Thousands of undead soldiers stood like statues, their empty eye sockets following Adrian’s every move. The air was freezing, and the smell of ancient dust was overwhelming. They reached the base of the highest tower, where two massive doors made of interlocking ribs swung open on their own.They stepped into the General’s Chambers.The room was vast and circular. The walls were lined with the skulls of kings and monsters, their mouths frozen in silent screams. At the far end, sitting on a towering throne made of polished femurs and spines, was the General bone He was a giant of a man, draped in heavy, rusted armor. His face was hidden behind a spiked iron mask and green mist leaked from his chest.Adrian stopped in the center of the room. He didn't bow. He didn't show fear."I am here for the sword," Adrian said, his voice echoing against the ceiling. "The one you took from the High Mage. Hand it over, and I won't have

    Adrian stood at the mouth of the cave, then he turned to Lyra, his expression hardening."Lyra, look at me," Adrian said, his voice deep and vibrating with power. "We have already come further in one day than you have in five hundred years. If we turn back now, we are just waiting to die in that cave. Is that what you want? To spend another few centuries hiding from the dark?"Lyra looked at the ground, her hands trembling. The fear of the General was a cold weight in her chest, but the fire in Adrian’s eyes was harder to ignore."I have a wife and a family who are currently at the bottom of an ocean," Adrian continued, stepping closer to her. "In their world, it hasn't even been a second. I am not going to let them die because I was afraid of a warlord. I am going to walk through that gate, with or without you. But I’d rather have a High Mage by my side."Lyra looked up at him, seeing the raw, unstoppable resolve in his face. She let out a long, shaky sigh and wiped a tear from her c
