Chapter 148 Not Yet

Valerian gazed at the sunlight seeping in through the periphery of the mushroom forest in the distance. He pointed at it with his tiny paw. "Myu~"

"Haha, that's right, Val." Adam gently patted Valerian who was sitting on his head. "We'll finally leave this place."

After spending a month in the neon mushroom forest, they were finally able to see some sunlight. Or at least, something that resembled sunlight. Naturally, they were very happy about it.

"Myu! Myu! Myuuu!" Valerian grabbed Adam's hair and started jumping excitedly.

"Yeah, don't worry. After we leave this forest, I'll take you to lots of nice places." Adam couldn't help but chuckle seeing the young dragon behave this way.

However, he couldn't blame him. After all, he too was very excited to leave the forest and explore the other areas of the secret plane. Both of them yearned to go on great adventures.

Suddenly!

Loud warning bells rang in the youth's mind and he sensed an incoming projectile in the detection area of his Sphere of Resonance. His eyes narrowed as he felt the projectile heading toward his head. New novel chapters are published on

Adam hurriedly shifted his head to the side, but due to his sudden movement, Valerian who was sitting on his head, lost balance and fell down.

"NO!!!" He gazed into the young dragon's topaz eyes that looked back at him with confusion and a hint of nervousness.

Adam hurriedly reached out to grab Valerian and move him away from the incoming projectile's trajectory.

But he was too late.

THWOCK!

The mana-infused arrow accurately hit Valerian in the stomach, causing him to fly off into the distance, smash against the stem of a mushroom tree, and miserably fall to the ground.

Adam's hand ended up grasping at nothing but empty air.

At that moment, the thoughts in the youth's mind went haywire and he stood there motionlessly in a daze. Then, he turned his head and glanced at the place where Valerian had fallen.

His lips parted, but no words came out. Tumultuous waves were rising in his heart, whereas his mind was in complete chaos. In a daze, he slowly made his way toward Valerian.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the elf cursed under her breath after having missed. She took out another arrow and nocked it. "Despicable human, I'll kill you today for what you did!"

Adam dropped to his knees and gazed at Valerian. Suddenly, life seemed to return in his dull eyes as his gaze landed on the young dragon.

Mira gritted her teeth and her grip on her bow tightened. She glared at Adam while taking out two more arrows and shooting them at him.

"Die!"

However, before the arrows were even released, Adam had already cast a spell, causing green winds to materialize around his feet. And following that, he disappeared from the spot.

Rank 1 Spell: Westerly Ride!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around Mira, and the next moment, Adam appeared in front of her like a ghost.

Mira was dumbstruck witnessing such speed! It was impossible for a Rank 1 Spell to increase a Magus' speed by such a frightening degree. The only plausible explanation was that the Magus in question stacked the spell on top of his own physical speed.

Everything had happened so quickly that Mira didn't know what to do. She instinctively dropped her bow and grabbed the daggers from her waist. Then, she swung them at Adam's neck.

However, Adam effortlessly grabbed her wrists and then...

RIP!

He forcefully tore the elf's arms from her body.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Mira fell to the ground as she screamed in sheer pain and terror.

Blood spurted out from her sides and formed a puddle underneath her. Tears rolled down her face as she desperately dragged her body away from Adam.

"P-Please... forgive me!" She begged for her life. "I... made a mistake... Don't kill me—"

CRACK! CRACK!

However, her words got stuck in her mouth when Adam abruptly raised his foot and viciously stomped on her knees, instantly breaking them.

"AAAAHHHH—" Mira screamed even louder but suddenly Adam grabbed her by the face and lifted her, bringing her to his eye level.

Adam's face had contorted from unprecedented anger as he looked Mira in the eye. He recalled how Valerian had cried tears from getting hurt by this elf's arrow.

Thinking of that, something inside the youth snapped. He released unrestrained killing intent that caused the elf to suffocate.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you...

"Not yet."
