Chapter 278 Greedy
Adam got to his feet and placed his hands on the railing, gazing at the battlefield in front of him that was covered in blood and flames.
Hundreds of charred corpses of the enemies lay just beyond the city walls, causing a devilish grin to bloom on his face.
Looks like they did a fine job.
He looked around and saw that the Magi stationed on the walls were busy hurling explosion potions at the enemy. At the same time, they were also casting spells and adding them to the mix.
Adam turned around and gazed at the city. Most of the buildings near the northeast and northwest walls had been destroyed due to the sudden attack by the enemy.
Black smoke could be seen rising from several locations. Moreover, the sound of battles could also be heard. Albeit, it was much less compared to a couple of hours ago when Adam had entered a state of mindfulness.
Things should wrap up in the city any time now. I hope Lisa is fine…
Finally, Adam raised his head and glanced at the battle happening in the skies above the battlefield. Although he couldn't make out much, he could still see faint silhouettes behind the clouds.
Fatty… The youth thought in concern. But the next moment, he shrugged. "Whatever, he should be alright. I'll kill him if he dies."
Following that, the youth tried to look past the battlefield and search for any signs of Rank 2 Magi from the enemy side, however, this was easier said than done.
But he had to be absolutely certain of this if he wanted to execute what he was about to do next. Or he'd just be digging his own grave.
He didn't like courting death.
Not that much.
The next moment, he weaved a series of hand signs. Then, the space behind him distorted and the colors in that small area started to distort. Finally, a small tear appeared in the void, leading directly to the Spirit World.
Rank 1 Spell: Hidden Servant!
Out of this small portal, two spectral figures slowly descended and knelt down before Adam. They were wearing ragged, black robes and had a shadowy hood covering their heads.
The moment they appeared, they prostrated themselves before the youth. Adam had always found this peculiar but didn't think much about it. There were bigger things to worry about now.
"Scout all five battlefields and give me a detailed report." Adam waved his hand. "Go!"
The spectral, invisible servants immediately disappeared from their spots, moving through the battlefields completely unseen by the enemy.
Meanwhile, Adam took out dozens of more chests containing potions of explosions and handed them out to nearby Magi. "Make sure to have them delivered to the other walls as well."
"Yes, Magus!" The other Magi had begun showing great respect to Adam almost as if he was their superior. This was only natural, after all.
In this world, the strong were looked up to.
After the youth's display of strength and courage, there was not a single Magus in Stardale that didn't respect him.
Seeing that there was even more supply of the explosion potions just when they were about to run out of it, the Magi were ecstatic. They hurriedly carried these chests and started delivering them to the other walls.
Right at that moment, the Hidden Servants returned after scouting all the battlefields. They knelt down before Adam once again and relayed their findings.
Hearing them, the youth's lips curled up into a smirk. He stroked his chin and mumbled to himself, "So the Rank 2 Magi have moved further away from the city, huh?"
In hingsight, that made sense. A battle between Rank 2 Magi was sure to have a lot of collateral damage. The enemy didn't want that happening anywhere near the battlefield, especially when it was full of people from their side.
Adam then glanced at the two spirits and asked solemnly, "And you are a hundred percent sure about this?"
The spirits hurriedly nodded their heads in a panic.
"Hmm…" Adam thought for a while and then stated, "Alright, you both can leave."
The Hidden Servants kowtowed repeatedly and then returned to the Spirit World, their spectral bodies slowly dissipating into nothingness.
Adam looked around and shouted, "Someone get me Magus Elton!"
The next moment, a gray light flashed and Valerian appeared before the youth. The latter looked at him and asked with a faint smile as well as slight concern, "Val, you sure you wanna do this?"
The little guy got on his hind legs and adorably clenched his front paws. 'Yes! Yes! I want to help you, brother!'
"Alright." Adam fondly rubbed the young dragon's head.
Since the beginning of the war, Valerian kept wanting to join the battle and fight alongside him. However, he was overly protective of the little guy and didn't want him to engage in this bloodbath.
But he realized that this was flawed thinking on his part. If he always continued to shelter Valerian, it would only negatively impact the latter.
If a mighty dragon was always wrapped in cotton wool, would they still be considered mighty?
Thus, he chose to allow the little guy to finally enter the fray. Right at that moment, Elton approached them from the distance, his face riddled with anxiety and urgency. "What is it, Magus Adam? Did you need anything?"
The youth glanced at him and smiled amicably, "Yeah, give me your storage ring."
"W-What?" Elton was flabergasted. He had been stationed on the northwest wall and had to rush all the way here, thinking it was some kind of emergency.
But it turned out that this greedy young man now wanted his storage ring!
Adam removed his red star earring and put it on Valerian's ear. At the same time, he began to explain his plan to the middle-
aged man.
The more Elton heard, the more he was shocked. "Y-You want to…"
"Yes." Adam nodded. "This is the perfect opportunity to flank these bastards. Moreover, I've confirmed that the Rank 2 Magi have taken their fights far away from the city. So this plan is very likely to succeed."
Elton loudly gulped, his eyes flashing with disbelief. "And it's just going to be you?"
"Well," Adam glanced at Valerian and rubbed his head. "Me and him." Then, he turned his head to look at Elton and stretched out his palm. "Hurry now. I don't have all night."
"S-Sure…" Elton removed his storage ring from his finger and handed it to Adam in a daze
The youth grabbed it and transferred some of the potions of explosion from this earring into this ring. Also, he made sure that there were sufficient potions inside the earring which was now in Valerian's possession.
Elton glanced at these potions and asked in slight surprise, "These potions look slightly different from the ones you gave us earlier. Are they still explosion potions?"
"Hehe," the youth chuckled. "I guess you could call these version 2.0."
After all the preparations were complete, he glanced at Elton and nodded. "Anyway, make sure to keep the enemy's attention to the front."
Elton snapped out of his daze and nodded with a solemn expression. "Understood!"
Adam and Valerian then got on top of the railing, glancing at the chaotic battlefield before them with solemn expressions. The two then looked at each other and nodded.
The next moment, they jumped off the wall and dove into the sea of enemies!
