Age of Adepts

How powerful had he become, exactly?

It was a question that Greem had always had in his mind since a long time ago.

The enemies he had faced in the past had always relied on strategies or negotiations or guerrilla tactics, leaving Greem with no opportunity to unleash the full extent of his powers. Moreover, his powers were always in a dynamic state of change and rapid improvement. He still lacked a standard for comparison of sufficient substance. Thus, he could not accurately weigh or assess his actual combat prowess in detail.

Today, God’s Son Mietzel had become the whetting stone by which Greem could prove himself.

Once the lich transmitted his intent to cooperate to Greem’s mind, he unleashed his most ferocious and unrelenting attack without any hesitation.

Countless dark red spots suddenly appeared on the battlefield. An endless spout of fire energy surged forth from these spots. The fire energy did not disperse. Instead, it gathered wildly around Greem, manifesting in the form of a fearsome flame giant that stood over a dozen meters tall.

In truth, every single higher-being was capable of realizing the gigantification of their bodies through the concentration of energy. However, without a powerful and constant supply of energy to sustain this form, the gigantification would only be a waste of power and a weakening of one’s defenses. It hardly ever brought about any benefit to combat.

Disregarding everything else, Lich Kanganas alone, despite being intermediate Fourth Grade, was more than a match for most Fourth Grades. That was because of his skeleton, which rendered him immune to most low and intermediate-grade spells. It was the same for Mietzel. The presence of the Libram of Wisdom allowed him to fight even advanced Fourth Grade powerhouses on equal ground.

Yet, a god’s son of such power had actually been forced to death’s door by the combined power of Greem and a lich.

It caused the two adepts to further dismiss and dispel any past or future thoughts of making an enemy out of Greem!

The terrifying commotion caused by the three individuals had naturally drawn many opportunistic predators towards them. However, when they saw Lich Kanganas on the battlefield, they quickly cast away all thoughts of intervening in the affair. All of these individuals hurried away as quickly as they could.

Mietzel might not be all that well-known as a god’s son, and Greem had no reputation to speak of, but Lich Kanganas was infamous as an ace of the Alliance of Liches. He was a horrifyingly formidable as an opponent.

To avoid attracting unnecessary trouble, all those who believed themselves too weak to antagonize the Alliance of Liches had no choice but to give up on this battlefield and turn elsewhere to find easy pickings.

There were over seven or eight such battlefields on the slowly crashing city.

As such, there was no need for them to be concerned that there was no prey to be found!

“The floating city is about to crash!”

No one knew who it was that shouted out loud, but these words caused the otherworldly invaders to realize the unfavorable conditions of their fight immediately.

However, they were all incredibly invested in their battles and were all nearly at the key moment where victory and defeat would be decided. Even if the floating city were to break down and disintegrate in the very next moment, they would fight on until the end.

The divine radiance around Mietzel was already dim and nearly lightless. Yet, he continued to attack his two enemies with all his power, silently waiting for his opportunity to arrive.

Finally, as he hung on desperately to the last vestiges of hope, the floating city crashed onto the plain.
