Age of Adepts

Chapter 1019 Clan Banquet

Fire Throne.

An exceptionally luxurious and massive celebratory banquet was being held in the lava hall.

Hundreds of official adepts belonging to the Crimson Clan were gathered here, all cheer and smiles, toasting and celebrating as they awaited the arrival of the clan higher-ups.

The first to arrive was naturally Goblin Sage Snorlax, who possessed the most resources and connections within the clan.

Along with him came the commander of the Brutalblood Army, Drusilla La Salle.

Upon arrival, they headed straight to a corner of the hall where they found the leader of the magical goblins, Dean Gonga, as well as Princess Vanessa. They quickly engaged in a lively conversation.

Having experienced the nourishment of her new bloodline and the war over the past few years, Meryl had left her aura of gentle elegance in the past. She now appeared much more dignified and intimidating.

The dragonskin armor she wore had been treated and tailored with meticulous care. It fit her youthful and fiery figure completely, showing the beauty of her curves and her perfect body. The ferocious and savage aura of the fire dragon’s bloodline had caused her form to become even more explosive and seductive.

If it wasn’t because of how well they knew her, Snorlax and the other goblins might have even mistaken her for another person.

When Meryl strode into the lava hall with her chest held high, the temperature within the room very noticeably increased by five degrees.

It was important to note that this was an underground lava hall over two hundred meters below ground. A fearsome and roiling sea of lava lay right beneath the floorboards where they stood. As the Crimson clan leader was a legendary fire adept, the temperature in the hall was maintained around sixty to seventy degrees Celsius to match the attribute for which the clan was known.

Ordinary humans could not survive here at all. Even weaker individuals like Snorlax and Gonga could only move about freely in this place with the use of Fire Resistance Pendants and Rings of Cooling.

Though most of the other adepts didn’t enjoy such a warm environment smelling of sulfur, they were First Grade adepts; enduring such temperatures was still nothing for them.

Obviously, Meryl’s bloodline was perfectly compatible with the environment here now that she had become a fire dragon adept. The compatibility of her aura had stimulated the fire elementium in the hall, causing it to become more lively and active.

Snorlax and the others could see faint hints of sweat on the faces of the adepts around Meryl, despite the smiles on their faces. It was clear that they were having trouble enduring the fire energy that Meryl was radiating.

It was impressive of them to not show any discomfort on their faces despite how unbearable it was.

With the Crimson Clan’s victory once again, the influence and size of the clan were due for yet another round of explosive growth. At this time, anyone that could obtain the favor of the clan’s leadership would be able to get the best positions and jobs. It would certainly allow them to gain more power and influence quickly.

As such, no adept was willing to leave Meryl’s side, even though they were already screaming in agony on the inside.

While everyone was gathered around Meryl and talking to each other, another wave of commotion came from the entrance of the hall. Several Second Grades of the clan started to walk into the room.

The tall and ferocious Dragonborn Zacha. Tigule, who only reached up to Zacha’s calf. Bug Adept Billis, who was always wrapped in a thick and heavy cloak. The two blood knights, Soros and Windsor. The three blood elves: Isa, Lilia, and Spalla. There was also Split-Brain Gru, who had remained in the clan after the war concluded.

Their arrival caused the atmosphere of the banquet to become even more lively than before.

Familiar adepts greeted each other, clinking cups as they toasted drinks. The entire banquet hall was filled with laughter, conversation, and praise for the great clan leader.

Yet, in this joyous moment, the entrance suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their heads to look at an adept striding into the hall.

As they sensed the mysterious and unusual changes that had occurred to the adept, a fire blazed in their hearts, and their eyes gleamed with desire.

Gargamel.
