The wind continued to howl, carrying with it a light drizzle.
If one were to look closely, they would discover that the wind and rain were not natural, but were the effects of magic.
The violent wind continued to blow, and the black raindrops continued to fall. When the raindrops landed on a person's body, their body would be corroded, and the magic power in their body would be forcibly suppressed.
Walking on a spacious path, there were many tall buildings in the surroundings, passing by one's field of vision.
Beneath his feet were many corpses, and most of them were Magi from the Jade Hand. There were very few dark Magi wearing the uniform of the Dark Magi Alliance.
For this surprise attack, among the people brought by the Dark Magi Alliance, the weakest was at the level of an official Magus. On the contrary, in Jadeite City, there were many acolytes from the Jade Hand.
Other than being the largest Potioneering Organization in the Mason District, the Jade Hand was also a famous Magus Academy. Not only were there many level 2 and 3 acolytes, there were also many regular acolytes who had just come to study.
These people were naturally not a match for official Magi. In the hands of the dark Magi, they were basically slaughtered.
Walking on the path paved with corpses, Adil looked at his feet.
There, the corpse of a female acolyte lay in Silence. Her body was naked, and her fair skin was full of small wounds. Her face was twisted in pain, and it was obvious that she had been tortured before her death.
This was not the worst. In the surroundings, there were many more corpses. Large pieces of flesh had disappeared, and there were teeth marks on them, as if they had been eaten by something.
Looking at this scene, Adil's expression was calm, but he subconsciously lowered his head, no longer looking around.
Dark Magi were not good people.
Those who could be classified as dark Magi were the most brutal and crazy of Magi. To these dark Magi, killing was the lightest punishment. In many dark Magi guilds, it was common for them to kill tens of thousands of people in one go just to collect blood and flesh, and it was not strange at all.
Compared to these pure and innocent dark Magi, the Magi that Adil had met before were also twisted and cruel, but compared to the dark Magi, they were much less dangerous.
"You're pitying …"
In front, Gloria turned around and happened to look at Adil.
Although he did not feel much malice from the other party's gaze, Adil still felt a wave of pressure, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
"Sorry."
His face was calm. Silence met the other's eyes, and he didn't say anything.
"Sorry for what?"
Gloria smiled. Her beautiful face was intoxicating, and Grimm couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
"If you have compassion in your heart, it means that you still have a conscience in your heart. This is a good thing."
After saying that, she seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and looked ahead. "We're here."
Adil raised his head and followed her line of sight to the front.
A tall palace stood in front of them. The entire building was the color of jade, and it emitted a faint halo under the sunlight. It was as beautiful as the palaces described in fairy tales.
Gloria walked straight in.
The radiance of magic resounded in the surroundings, and the power of the jade light was reignited. The power of the jade light collided with her body, but it was blocked by another terrifying power.
She waved her hand, and a force field erupted. The force field condensed into a black palm, and the palm fiercely slapped down towards the jade light screen.
Crash …
The sound of glass shattering rang beside his ears.
Standing behind Gloria, a jade light flashed in front of Adil's eyes. The dazzling light caused him to be unable to help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the radiance of magic that enveloped the surroundings had completely disappeared. From the looks of it, Gloria's attack had completely broken through the light screen.
The light in the surroundings instantly dimmed. In Adil's vision, the surrounding palace seemed to have dimmed quite a bit as well.
Walking all the way to the hall in front of him, in the center of the hall, a huge gem stood.
That was a gem that was two meters tall. The entire gem was the color of jade, and it was as beautiful as the purest jadeite.
This huge jadeite stone was currently shining. There was a pure radiance flickering on top of it, and it brought along a kind of strange undulation.
Just by getting close to this jadeite stone, Adil felt that his entire body was trembling, and the blood within his body was flowing at an accelerated rate, gathering towards his heart.
Walking in the hall, Adil also noticed that around this jadeite stone, there were a few human-shaped stone statues, and the aura of magic was still lingering on the stone statues.
These stone statues looked very real, every single stone statue was wearing Emerald Hand's clothing, and their faces were filled with pain, as if they were recording the moment before death.
Through his powerful mental power, Adil felt a sense of despair coming from these stone statues, and his heart couldn't help but turn solemn.
"Jadeite stone …"
Looking at the jadeite stone in front of them, Gloria muttered to herself, and her expression seemed to be a bit intoxicated.
As they walked forward, the expression on Adil's face became a bit weird.
Because at this moment, he could clearly feel that there was something that was currently attracting him from the jadeite stone in front of him, causing his soul to tremble, and an impulse to walk forward at all costs arose in his heart.
And this kind of feeling, Adil was very familiar with it, it was very similar to the feeling he had when he discovered the coordinates of a new world in the past, just that this feeling was much stronger.
"What is this …"
An indescribable throbbing feeling rippled in his heart, Adil raised his head, and his pure black eyes reflected the brilliance of the jadeite stone, and he was a bit dazed.
"This is a jadeite stone, but to us, it has a more appropriate name, it is called World Stone."
Gloria didn't turn back, her eyes were occupied by the jadeite stone, her face was a bit flushed, and she seemed to be very excited, "Even in ancient times, this kind of thing was an extremely precious treasure, it was enough to cause a war."
"It's a pity that the power contained in this World Stone was wasted by those idiots from Emerald Hand, if not, we might be able to build a world gate." At the side, Green's voice sounded.
Looking at the jadeite stone in front of him, his face was filled with regret.
"The World Stone itself has the function of gathering energy, as long as it is given time, it will recover sooner or later."
Towards the conversation between the two, Adil was already somewhat unable to hear it.
A kind of desire that came from the depths of his soul kept coming, as if a traveler that was about to die of thirst in the desert had encountered a water source, that kind of desire occupied his body and mind, causing his consciousness to gradually become blurry.
Under the urging of his instincts, he slowly walked forward, then stretched out his hand, and touched the jadeite stone.
A warm feeling came from the palm of his hand, bringing along a huge warm current, and the current flowed towards the depths of Adil's body.
Suddenly, Adil saw a scene.
In the dusky space, under the drive of some kind of power, a star slowly rose, illuminating the entire dusky world.
As if the incomplete part of his body was being mended, Adil felt that his heart was incomparably full, and his willpower was once again awake.
In the dilapidated hall, Gloria and Green stood at the side, and at this moment, looking at his actions, their gazes followed and looked towards him.
"Since you are awake, then come down."
Gloria spoke, she didn't seem to be surprised by this kind of situation, "Your strength is too weak, you can't even resist the force field emitted by the World Stone, if you stay for too long, your mental strength will be assimilated."
"Yes."
Seeing that the other party didn't notice anything, Adil let out a sigh of relief, then directly lowered his head, making others unable to see the expression on his face, only then did he walk down.
"That feeling just now …"
Thinking about that feeling just now, Adil forcefully suppressed his excited feelings, and his expression became calm again.
In his heart, however, he was looking at the A.I. Chip's prompt that flashed just now.
"Affected by an unknown power … World energy is starting to increase …"
Looking at this increase, Adil couldn't help but look at his own attributes.
Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 22.8 Agility: 23.5 Vitality: 22.7 Spirit: 28.7 Purity of Spiritual Power: 27.8% World Energy: 20.7
The familiar attribute panel appeared in front of him, and more than half of the data did not change.
Only in the field of World Energy, the data that was displayed was more than ten times more than before.
20.7 World Energy, this was equivalent to the energy that Adil could only obtain after accumulating for 20 years, and now, he obtained it all at once.
Moreover, Adil had a faint feeling that in that instant just now, more than half of the energy that he absorbed from the World Stone was absorbed by something in the depths of his soul, and the World Energy that had increased in front of him was only a very small part of the energy.
In the depths of his soul, there was a feeling of fullness, as if some kind of unique change was happening.
Feeling this change, Adil closed his eyes.
A hazy feeling came from his heart, and the originally dim Soul Space began to change at this moment.
In the Soul Space, dim stars stood erect in the surroundings, and an eternal and unchanging aura emanated from them, bringing with it the majestic power of the world.
In the surroundings, the original three World Gates had already disappeared, and had turned into three shining stars that hung high in the sky.
These three stars had different brightness, some were stronger, some were dimmer, but without exception, they all had a unique connection with Adil, as if with just a thought, he would immediately be able to enter.
In this Soul Space, there were countless stars, and every star was a huge world. However, only these three worlds with coordinates had been successfully lit up.
As for those dim stars, they represented the worlds that did not have coordinates.
Standing in this dim world, Adil had a thought, and he looked at one of the dim stars, then tried to activate his Esper Ability, wanting to see if he could travel to it.
A feeling of weakness came from the depths of his heart, and a strong repulsive force came from that star, instantly repelling his soul.
Frowning slightly, Adil felt that feeling just now, but he was not disappointed. Instead, he chose his next target.
This time, he did not choose one of the more powerful stars. Instead, he deliberately chose a very small star.
In terms of size alone, among the three worlds that Adil had connected to, even the weakest of the strange worlds was dozens of times bigger than this particular star.
With a thought, Adil's soul emitted a pure light, and he moved toward the star that he had chosen.
A familiar sense of repulsive force came, but this time, it was not as strong as the previous time, so there was still room for him to move.
Adil sensed that he could enter this planet with his special ability, but judging from the amount of Realm Energy he felt, the amount of Realm Energy he would have to expend was more than ten times that of entering the Uncanny Realm. Even with Adil's current wealth, he would not be able to enter the planet.
"Is this the difference between having coordinates and not having coordinates?"
After trying a few times, Adil came to a realization.
Judging from the current situation, Adil's Esper's ability could also be enhanced.
As his Esper Ability continued to grow, he would be able to enter other worlds even if he did not have the exact coordinates of the world, but the consumption would be much higher.
Judging from the current situation, the only way to increase his Esper Ability was through the World Stone.
The moment he came into contact with it, through the Esper Ability in his body, Adil could clearly feel the enormous power contained in the World Stone. The power that he had absorbed just now was probably not even one percent of the World Stone's power.
If he could completely swallow the World Stone, the Esper Ability in Adil's body would probably grow to a terrifying level.
"What a pity."
Opening his eyes silently, Adil turned around to look at the jadeite stone behind him, his eyes filled with regret. "This World Stone belongs to someone else after all. Judging from how much they valued this World Stone, they would never allow anyone else to lay their hands on it, let alone allow the power of the World Stone to be stolen."
"If I want to obtain the power within it, I'll have to think of a way slowly."
Walking on the road, looking at Gloria in front of him, Adil thought to himself.
As he walked on the barren land, the white stone slabs around him were covered with blood and corpses.
Flames burned around him, accompanied by screams and wails.
After a long time, when it was almost dusk, Gloria finally left with her people.
All that was left were bloodstains and a large number of building wreckage.
A few days later, the news that the Jade Hand had been breached spread, causing an uproar in the entire Mason District.
As the strongest Potioneering Organization in the entire Mason District, the power of the Jade Hand was enough to be ranked at the top. The dean of the Jade Hand, Krillard, was one of the top powerhouses on the continent.
Such a powerful organization had been destroyed. Not only had the Inheritance Spell Formation been breached, but the dean himself had also died in battle. The foundation that had been accumulated over the years was almost wiped out. Naturally, this attracted the attention of all the forces.
As the main culprit behind the attack on Jadeite City, the reputation of the Dark Sorcerer Alliance instantly rose, shocking everyone. They were even seen as public enemies by many forces.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Adil for the time being.
At this time, he was standing in front of a tower, looking respectfully at Gloria in front of him.
"I heard news from Grimm and Anthony that your potion-refining rate is very high?"
