Chapter 129

Hayley, who had been silent all this while, also tried to persuade him. "Yeah, Adam. Since you have nothing to lose, why don't you … Oh my God!"

Splat.

The Elemental Sword's blade pierced Ignas's forehead. Ignas's body was directly reduced to dust by the violent electric heat and vibration, scattering with the wind along with ice crystals.

Adam looked at the value on his Merit Ring, which had been reduced by fifty points. He suddenly felt that the rule of The Fifth Element Holy Tower was not bad. Otherwise, it would be even more unreasonable if there were people spying on them from the sidelines every time they fought and could not do anything about it.

Shirley frowned and said to Adam, "Actually, you should have let him go. The War Alliance is a very powerful force on Ceylon Island. If they insist on making things difficult for you during the trial, you will suffer."

Adam did not care. After obtaining the highly active flesh and blood of the Devil's abyssal body, he already had a very tempting idea. If he could succeed, plundering merit points would not be a problem anymore. Moreover, even if he did not succeed, Adam was not a person who would be bullied.

"Take out your merit bracelets. According to the agreement …"

After the destruction of Molan City, Adam had a total of two hundred and thirty merit points. After deducting fifty points, he was left with one hundred and eighty points. "Each of you can get forty points."

Although the twins didn't contribute much in this mission, Adam wasn't a calculative person. It was only a few dozen contribution points. It wasn't worth it for him to lose his temper.

Unexpectedly, the twins shook their heads and refused. "Forget it. You killed Anti-Mage alone. It has nothing to do with us. And you …" Shirley paused, and said tactfully, "You will need merit points more than us in the future."

At this time, the Devil, who had been cowering outside the battlefield, came to Adam's side. "Master, the Anti-Mage apprentices are all dead. But twenty of them died in their hands."

Hayley looked at Adam with a trace of pity in her eyes. "Why don't I give these to you …"

Adam waved his hand and asked about the War Alliance. "What is Ignas's ranking in the War Alliance?"

"He's not a match for me and my sister, but he's stronger than us alone. In the War Alliance, it is considered mid-tier. " Hayley said as she looked at Adam, and then looked at the dust that had disappeared. She couldn't help but shiver. Previously, they had shamelessly boasted that the two of them wouldn't be weaker than Adam, but now it seemed that they were still far from it.

"How many members does the War Alliance have?"

"Thirty-one. Oh, it's thirty now."

Ignas was in the middle of the thirty, which meant that there were more than ten people stronger than him.

Shirley said, "Adam, don't underestimate the War Alliance. The necks of the top ten," she pointed at Adam's active sealing crystal, "are all wearing this thing."

Adam kept this information in his heart. Those who had active sealing crystals were all peak level apprentices who could become official mages at any time. As long as he could ensure that he was not surrounded by apprentices of this level, Adam would not be in any danger. As for the others, they could be taken seriously, but there was no need to worry about them.

"How long did the War Trials last in the past last?"

The two were stunned. After a while, they said with uncertainty, "We don't know much, but we heard that the most difficult one took thirty years and less than a hundred people barely completed the trial."

The twins waited for a while. Seeing that Adam had no other questions, they said, "We're going back to the command center. You …"

"I'm not going back. Then, good luck."

"Master, you should've left them aside and come by yourself. With your strength, these mages who cultivate inferior energy are no match for you."

The Devil pursed its lips as it watched the two sisters leave. It didn't like the two of them and always felt that they were up to no good.

Adam reached out his hand to it. "Take it out."

The Devil's face suddenly became awkward. It smiled and took out a few things from behind its back. "Hehe, I was going to give them to master later …"

Adam did not expose its intentions. In fact, he was not interested in anti-mage items. After taking out a map, he returned the rest of the items to the Devil. He said to it kindly, "Do whatever you want. We'll rest here for half a day."

The Devil stared blankly at Adam. It felt that something was wrong, but it could not find the reason. However, it did not dare to ask Adam, so it could only leave with complicated emotions. Molan City had accumulated a lot of energy stones, so it could absorb as much as it wanted.

Adam spread out the map. It recorded in detail the locations of all the cities and towns within the Aomu Family's sphere of influence. However, Adam was no longer interested in the Aomu Family, so he turned his attention to the other side.

"If I want to study the flesh of the Abyss, I don't have the equipment, so I can only rob. The Hill Family that specializes in mutated creatures, the Lance Family that specializes in curses and poisons, and the School of Immortality that specializes in necromancy. These three families are my next targets. Fortunately, their territories are close to each other. "

Thinking of this, Adam looked at the Devil again. His eyes were even kinder. He had never felt that this mixed-blood slave was so useful. If his idea was correct, if everything went smoothly, his research would give the entire Island of Ceylon a huge surprise.

The Devil, who was chowing down, could not help but shudder. The uneasiness in its heart grew stronger.

Aomu City, Aomu Family.

It was still the anti-mage apprentice who was guarding the soul crystals. This time, he ignored the shattered apprentice-level soul crystals and stared at his feet in horror. "Sir Peter is dead …"

He rushed into the meeting hall and shouted like a madman, "Sir Peter is dead, and so is the mage …"

Cook and Quinn attacked at the same time. Two gray energy beams exploded in front of the apprentice. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Men, take him away." Cook ordered the servants outside the meeting hall. He turned to Quinn and said, "Quinn, venting won't solve anything."

Quinn was restless. "Sir Cook, please tell me. When did the family lose its first mage in the last traitor's invasion?"

Cook was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Listen, Quinn. This is just an accident. We need to be vigilant, but we can't panic."

Cook said this, but he wasn't at a loss in his heart. He knew Peter's background. This old mage who had survived three invasions by traitors should be more cautious than anyone else, but even such a person had died so quickly. Just how terrifying was the apprentice that came this time?

"Sir Cook, what should we do now?" Another mage asked in a low voice.

"Everyone, we can't just sit and wait. The family's strength must be reduced faster. Each of you will be responsible for a city. Try to bring back as many family members as possible and the Despair Energy."
