Chapter 278 Greedy

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!"

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!
