Age of Adepts

World of Adepts, Fire Throne.

Inside the same hidden room.

Greem let out a long sigh and slowly pulled his consciousness back from Seawoods.

The battle in the distance had only just begun. It wasn’t going to be easy for Shadow Demon to escape Circe’s pursuit. Unfortunately, with his field of knowledge and experience, he would not be able to help in this battle between these two monarchs of the shadows.

Thus, he decided just to stop thinking about it and hand over all decisions to Shadow Demon.

Surely, with how large Seawoods Plane was, their battle would not conclude any time soon!

After letting go of his concerns over Shadow Demon, Greem calmed down and started thinking about the future developments of the Crimson Clan. More worries began to appear in his heart.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that with the major victory in Seawoods Plane, the vampires would be welcoming a period of rapid advancement. The vampires would rapidly grow in power compared to the other major factions of the Crimson Clan. They were very likely to outshine the other factions and become the heart of the Crimson Clan’s power.

That was not beneficial to the long-term development of the Crimson Clan!

This problem might not have been all that obvious while Greem remained within the clan. However, should Greem ever leave the clan, its future would be very precarious.

Other non-human organizations on the continent could serve as a study for this matter. All of these organizations were distrusted by the adept clans, whether it was the small kingdom of Storm Giants or the few vampire clans throughout the region.

Their clans would always be repelled and driven away by the surrounding adept clans when they tried to expand their worldly territory. Even a single step forward was difficult for them.

The Crimson Clan that Greem had established could soon face the same problem.

The solution was naturally to increase the support and cultivation of native adepts within the clan.

Greem quickly selected a few decent candidates for this.

Fire Dragon Adept Meryl, Bug Adept Billis, and Mystique Emelia.

Meryl was his disciple and was absolutely loyal. Her potential had also increased tremendously after obtaining the fire dragon’s bloodline. As long as the Crimson Clan tilted some resources obtained from Lance in her direction, there would be no problem cultivating Meryl into a Third Grade adept.

Meanwhile, Mystique Emelia was the best candidate to replace Gargamel.

Gargamel’s talent was simply too terrible. Even after receiving favor from Greem, he was still limited to Second Grade, with no chance of ever reaching Third Grade.

In comparison, his daughter Emelia had excellent potential. She was young, but she was already an advanced Second Grade adept of the plant attribute.

As for the shadow of the spore princess that loomed over Emelia? After confirmation from Alice, Greem was certain that it would be no threat to the Crimson Clan. That was why Greem was more than willing to develop a genius like herself.

Billis was a veteran of the clan that Greem intentionally considered last.

He was too cruel and bloodthirsty. His actions were unusually evil, and he walked a bloodline path that was unbearably brutal and bloody.

Even Greem was often worried that Billis would not be able to control the Queen Bug and become assimilated into a non-human insect creature.

Perhaps sensing Greem’s worry and bottom line, the Queen Mother never dared to thoroughly devour Billis’ soul, no matter how much of an advantage it held. It left Billis’ human soul in a constant state of battle and compatibility with the Queen Mother.

It was the fundamental reason for Billis’ inability to advance!

Thus, to help Billis advance, Greem would have to find a way to fully merge the souls of Billis and the Queen Mother. Moreover, the assimilation would have to be centered around Billis’ soul, rather than allowing the Queen Mother to devour it.

It was undoubtedly complicated to achieve such a feat!

Even though Billis had requested Greem’s help in this matter many times in the past, Greem had set it aside due to the many things he was busy with. Now that he was injured and had to recuperate, he had more time and energy to deal with the clan’s affairs.

Thus, all the things he had put aside had to be resolved now.

His clan had worked hard and freed him from the burden of dealing with the clan’s troubles. They had also gathered an incredible amount of wealth and resources for him.

It was now time for Greem to pay the clan back for their achievements!
