Chapter 333 Fiendish
When Lisa heard Morden make that declaration, her body shuddered. She strained her neck to glance at the man's back.
Never had she felt such loathing for another person in her life.
This man's family killed her father, took away everything that belonged to her family, and even went so far as to keep her brother hostage just so she wouldn't retaliate in the future.
Now when she heard Morden put her dearest friend, Adam, in such a terrible situation, she couldn't help but spit through gritted teeth, "Morden Gracie, you despicable scum! How could you do this?!"
Morden ignored her. He continued to glance at Adam's shocked expression and asked with a smirk, "So what's it gonna be, boy? Edward or Lisa?"
Adam's fists clenched so tight that his nails dug into his palms, causing blood to drip to the ground.
He was already past the feeling of helplessness.
His heart was filled with boundless rage. He hated that all his past actions had brought such consequences to him and the people closest to him. He hated that he was powerless in front of his enemies.
The youth had already lost a friend tonight. Now, everything pointed toward the same thing happening again.
His eyes turned bloodshot and he gnashed his teeth in fury. All the while, he kept mumbling to himself incoherently, "No... you can't...
"I'll kill them all...
"Even if I die...
"....cannot come out.
"No matter what, you cannot...
"...not yet.
"Promise me..."
Seeing Adam begin to ramble like a madman, Morden burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahaha! Who are you going to choose, boy? One lives, the other dies!"
Edward had never seen Adam in such a state. He couldn't even begin to imagine what his friend was going through.
His eyes blazed with anger and he roared, "Adam! Don't listen to him! Just leave! Run away!"
Morden turned around to glance at the youth and sneered, "Run away? Wishful thinking!"
"I commend your courage and selflessness."
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and roared to the skies, "OOAAAHHHHH!!"
BOOOOM!!!
The ground underneath him cracked open from the sheer pressure he radiated. Adam accumulated all the feelings of rage, helplessness, and hatred bubbling inside him, and channeled them into raw strength.
His mana channels trembled intensely as a large amount of mana coursed through them. The rate at which he was expending his mana was so ridiculous that it caused the others to be shocked.
At the same time, his spiritual power also seemed to deeply resonate with him, it seeped out and inadvertently combined with his mana, resulting in a thunderous aura that destroyed everything around him into smithereens.
Adam glared at Gorgo, Morden, and then finally at Oswald with immense anger and animosity.
He was like a wounded primordial beast that had been pushed to the corner by his enemies.
Now, he was going to go all out.
Oswald's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect the youth to suddenly burst out with such great strength at the last moment.
He couldn't help but incredulously think to himself, He still has so much mana left? Is he even human?!
His expression turned grim. He then turned to look at Morden, who had dropped to the ground after sensing Adam's fiendish aura, and stated, "Let us not waste any more time."
Morden jolted back to his senses and nervously gulped. "R-
Right!"
Oswald wanted to kill Adam this instance. For some reason, he was starting to feel a very bad premonition.
At the same time, he didn't want himself or his brother, Morden, to directly kill the youth, lest the Soulmark Retribution technique activated and linked them to Adam's death.
Hence, he glanced at Gorgo, who was frozen in absolute shock, and coldly ordered, "Send the remaining beasts and kill him this instant."
Gorgo snapped out of his daze and hurriedly nodded. The next moment, he reached for the ivory trumpet hanging from his waist and blew on it.
Following that, the remaining courrpted beasts in the vicinity, numbering in the hundreds, rushed toward the raven-haired youth with blatant killing intent, ready to deavour him no matter the cost.
Adam coated his hands with mana and fearlessly charged at the endless horde of beasts approaching him.
"I'll take you all on!"
