All Novel Full Chapter 380 - [Bonus ]The Upper Hand
"Angela, this is the end for me, but I am glad that I was able to see everything you were able to achieve and also see that young boy that you introduced to me that day. He was the cause of the change in you, me and everyone else around him and will continue to change the world, so support him with everything you have"
Those were the final words of the previous head of the Maxwell Family whose body couldn't hold out any longer and had been pushed too far after attempting to battle even in the weakened state he was in.
Angela didn't cry or show any emotion, as it was his time to die and wasn't a sad death, or so she told herself, but inside, she wanted to break down any cry, but she had to appear strong.
Adam despite being faced with hundreds of powerful cultivators could still sense the death of the previous Maxwell Family Head and felt sorry for Angela, but he knew that feeling sorry would only waste her potential and would slowly affect her more and more.
He took out his Death Devrouigng Daggers and instantly everyone on the battlefield was overwhelmed by a sense of fear and a large amount of negative energy was being emitted from the daggers in Adam's hands.
Adam's body was compatible with all forms of energy and was able to switch between different types of energy, just like he had done with Fire Energy, and while wielding the Death Devouring Daggers, his energy would transform to negative energy.
It was also aligned with the King Ring and while using the Death Devouring Daggers and negative energy, he would have more explosive and frightening power, however, it was harder to hold his power, Bloodlust and energy consumption back.
Adam began slicing apart all the cultivators around him ruthlessly, while also recovering all the energy he lost through all his attacks by siphoning it from all those he slashed.
It was a massacre and within a minute, Adam had already killed dozens of cultivators and his movements were mere blurs to those watching as he slashed down everyone around him.
The army of cultivators that had previously been attempting to surround and overwhelm him with numbers began retreating and forcing their leaders to face the monster that called himself Death.
Adam was covered in his blood and his presence had been completely wiped, making his glaring red eyes stand out and make him appear to be some sort of monster.
Adam's friends had seen his ruthless side and had also seen him kill, however it was hard for them to think of the killing machine before them as the friend that they knew and loved.
It was like they were two different people and the name Death was fitting as Adam continued eliminating any cultivator in the most gruesome way, and finally, after a few minutes of their subordinates being slaughtered, the family heads joined the battle.
Adam went straight in for the kill against them, however, he was surprised and impressed to see that they were able to push him back.
The Lin Family Head had used the Dragon Movement Skill to slither to him and pushed him back with the fist that had been supported by two powerful blade attacks from the other two family heads.
It was a smart, quick and difficult attack for most to deal with, however, Adam used the Burst Movement Skill to move himself backwards.
They had believed that Adam wouldn't be able to dodge their attacks in mid-air, but they were very mistaken and Adam was more comfortable fighting in the air after improving the Burst Movement Skill and also applying the skill and using it in his Soul Form.
He had a rough idea of all of their abilities and capabilities after observing their battle and knew that the Dale Family Head had an Earth Elemental Affinity, and that the Lin and Ford Family Heads didn't have an elemental affinity, but were very skilled in close combat.
With the Earth Elemental Affinity, one's defence would be very hard to break through and most with an Earth Elemental Affinity would fight in a similar way to Chase, forming an armour around their body out of rock and fighting using their large physical strength.
However, the Dale Family Head had a unique way of fighting using his elemental affinity and was powerful enough to greatly change the landscape of where the battle was taking place and also use the ground to attack the enemy.
As Adam moved back, a large spike pierced upwards from the ground and Adam was only able to react fast enough using his Mind Ring and was impressed by how well-versed the three of them were in combat.
Despite never fighting together and regarding each other as opposition for most of their lives, they were smart enough to know they needed to work together and formed multiple strategies that made up for each other's weaknesses.
Each of them was looking out for their own lives and benefit the most, however, they knew that a single mistake would cost them their lives against such a powerful opponent and they would have to go all-out.
Adam smiled, happy to finally face a challenging task in reality, but the truth was that he was still holding back and suppressing a large portion of his power and capabilities, only using power that could be comparable to a peak Advanced Cultivator.
He still had his summons, Unique Clone Skill, Unique Step Skip Skill, Form Switching, Characteristic Extensions, Fire Elemental Affinity and many powerful skills that he was yet to use that he wasn't planning on using unless he had to.
Adam was enjoying himself and was used to fighting as the underdog, but in this case, had to suppress and hold back his cultivation level, otherwise, he would win too quickly and easily.
[So this is what it's like to have the upper hand, I can only hope that it's always like this, but considering the things that I want to achieve, I should probably enjoy this moment while it lasts] thought Adam to himself with a smile.
