Chapter 379 - Death
Chapter 379 - Death
"Self-preservation is the natural instinct of all living creatures and so is fear when faced with Death, however, you cannot avoid the wrath of death" roared Adam.
To be honest, he really didn't want to release his killing intent and cause such a scene, but he knew that it was essential that he imbedded as much fear and reverence from all those watching the battle.
Everyone had stopped fighting to watch the battle in the centre that they knew would dictate the results of the battle and Adam stared down the three family heads while the rest of the cultivators created more space for them to battle.
Behind Adam were Cole, Chase, Angela, Wayde and Elizabeth who were recovering their energy storages and from their injuries, while behind them were all the elders and cultivators that they had brought with them to the battle.
Most of them were gravely injured and many of them had already been killed, however, the pain they were feeling was all overcome with curiosity and reverence for the figure calling himself Death that appeared out of nowhere.
His cultivation level was unknown and concealed, however, his presence and killing intent alone were enough to strike fear in anyone and the small amount of the King Ring's power that Adam was using, was bearing down on all of them.
Opposite him were the family heads and behind them were all their troops that were more numerable and less injured than those on Adam's side, however as they looked at Adam, all they felt was fear.
"Should we begin, I think I have given you enough time to talk about tactics" stated Adam in a condescending tone.
"I alone will face you all and don't be afraid to send the rest of your cultivators to face me. This is not a battle, but an execution, so don't be shy. Come and accept your death" announced Adam as he began walking towards them.
Hearing that, the cultivators behind Adam let out a sigh of relief and although it was crazy to believe that one man was able to take on that man powerful and capable cultivators, seeing how much their leaders believed in him, they also believed in him.
Adam had a smile on his face and just wanted to get everything over with so that he could return ad get a nice big meal after eating the bland beast meat constantly for the past year.
"Do not fear, I am the strongest cultivator in the world. With me here, no one can face me, so charge onwards men" shouted the Lin Family Head at the tops of his lungs.
His power was great and so was his presence, and although his aura seemed stronger than that of Adam's who was concealing his cultivation, Adam still gave them a bad feeling and had already displayed great skill.
Despite any worries or fears that the men from the Lin, Dale and Ford Families might have had, they all charged towards Adam at once and felt much safer charging with many powerful cultivators.
While they charged towards them, the Family Heads were in the centre of the large army of cultivators charging towards Adam and planned to test his capabilities with the many cultivators.
If he was able to survive after facing that many cultivators, he would have proven that he was a great foe, but would have been tired out by it, or so they assumed and hoped.
Dozens of attacks were launched towards Adam while a variety of close-combat cultivators and ranged-combat cultivators fought him all at once.
However somehow, Adam seemed to be able to avoid every single one of the attacks unharmed and wanted to make sure that the stories that came after the battle described him as an undefeatable individual.
Although it may draw more attention to his faction, it would also make cultivators think twice before messing with their faction and Adam was also enjoying the heat of battle and testing out his capabilities.
Battle in reality felt exactly the same as fighting in the Physical Dungeon and in every way was the same apart from the fact that he was in a Dungeon Form, but Adam missed fighting in reality.
It felt more real and enjoyable, since the landscape was more familiar to him, unlike that of the Mortal Intersection where the Physical Dungeons would be formed.
There were many different dangers and wonders that he experienced in the Physical Dungeon and it was with real people, but in a different space that he couldn't currently get to in reality, and they had all taught him many lessons.
Compared to everything else he had experienced and learnt over the past year, this current battle felt like child's play and Adam had become very proficient in the use of his rings, activating the Mind Ring without even thinking about it.
Facing so many opponents required complete focus and dodging so many attacks at once needed him to be fast, nimble and flexible, which were things that he worked on and would be boosted by the use of the Stealth and Mind Rings.
"Protect yourselves everyone and watch the Secret Leader closely. He is the greatest man in the world and although he is called Death, that is only when it comes to facing the enemy. To us, he is our protector, leader and sentinel that we must all follow the example of" announced Chase and Elizabeth.
"That also applies for us as parts of and allies of the faction, so watch as the Secret Leader shows us true power" added Angela and Cole.
With that, all the members of the Sentinels Faction and the cultivators from the Epstein and Maxwell Families prepared themselves to deal with any stray attacks that flew their way, while they also watched Adam in awe of how amazing he was.
"Is this all you guys have got? You couldn't even land a single attack on me. Now it is my turn to attack"
