Ever since Adam began venturing into more distant lands far beyond the Dead Lands, he had occasionally encountered creatures that far surpassed him in strength.
However, the monster standing before him now was different from Goen, Ramilo, or even Zargos.
Kaerno was not his friend, at least not yet, and his aura exerted such powerful pressure on Adam that it made his knees wobble.
"Young man…" Kaerno rasped. "I asked you a question. Or does a quick death interest you more than these lands?"
Adam had no time to think, nor any options. If he wanted to survive, he had to comply with Kaerno's demand.
"Adam Vinter, that is my name. As for the second question… The last person I was in contact with was Gladius, after which his monster Operator knocked me out, and I woke up here!"
When Larth first heard Adam's name, there was no reaction on his face other than confusion.
But now, his eyes widened in disbelief, and shivers ran through his body.
