Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 1675 1675: Many Volunteers

At first, Adam was at a loss. He didnʼt know what he needed to do to find the Frenzied Shard, but when the first servant appeared, it was no longer a mystery.

He and Sarka needed to find all the servants. This would lead them straight to the Frenzied Shard they served.

Everything was going according to plan.

The second servant looked far stronger than the first one. This was evident not only in the size of the predatory flower but also in its aura and minions.

Still, neither Adam nor Sarka had any doubts that they would easily gain the upper hand and defeat the second servant. At worst, they would get a few scratches, and thatʼs it.

But… what they didnʼt expect was a massive meteorite that appeared out of nowhere. It wasnʼt just a piece of some structure or a random monster that looked similar, it was a real meteorite, engulfed in flames, and its target was Adam, Sarka, the second servant, and everything near the golden clock.

Adam and Sarka exchanged glances. They were supposed to attack the second servant. Its veins were already within their reach, but their plans changed abruptly.

Whoooooooosh!

At the last moment, Adam and Sarka leaped aside, moving as far away from the meteorite as possible.

After a few leaps, they found themselves on toppled columns, watching the events unfold from the sidelines.

RRRGGGGGGGSSSSSHHOOOO!!!

The second servant let out a piercing scream as the living roots began to burn. The small minions could do nothing against the brutal heat. Even before the meteorite hit the ground, it would burn to a handful of ashes.

Realizing this was inevitable, the second servant opened its bud, directing the red and amber lights upward.

A dense barrier formed a split second before the collision with the meteorite.

Adamʼs pupils narrowed as he watched the bright flash.

Tremble! Tremble! Tremble!

The shockwave from the devastating blast swept through the area, destroying everything near the golden clock.

For a while, amid the thick smoke, only a red flame was visible, slowly spreading farther and farther across the Pit.

Adamʼs eyes darted from side to side, taking in the destruction.

Everything had been damaged except for the golden clock. It stood like an indestructible monolith not far from the meteoriteʼs impact site, seemingly awaiting something greater than this.

”Damn, so among all the junk here, there are also special things, right?”

However, that wasnʼt what he should have been thinking about at that moment.

Neither he nor Sarka knew what had caused the meteorite. It couldnʼt have just fallen from the sky right when their battle was about to begin.

Soon, two shadows appeared from above as a deep, satisfied laugh rang out.

”Hahahahahahah! Sarka, look at your face! Seeing you so scared is the ultimate pleasure!”

In a heartbeat, Adam and Sarka raised their heads.

”What the…?” Adam stammered, seeing two floating silhouettes - a man and a girl.

The man was tall, not as tall as Larth, but his height was still quite impressive. For some reason, this was a common trait among many of the monsters here.

He had shoulder-length black hair, a proud gaze, and a long white robe draped over his frame.

Standing beside him was a girl with crimson hair and a sly smirk like a child who had just pulled a prank and was pleased with herself. Like the man, she wore a white robe, though it was significantly shorter and more revealing, better suited for battle than for anything formal.

But there was something that caught Adamʼs eye.

Unlike Sarka or Larth, on their robes, on their chests, was a sign of the circle, the upper half of which was black and the lower half empty. It reminded him of the signs worn by the government officials who had helped him descend to the Lower Ring, but clearly, there was no connection between them.

ʼItʼs just a coincidence, but… considering what this symbol looks like, could it mean that-?ʼ

”Loargh!” Sarka shouted as she clenched her fists. ”And you… Vyora! What the hell are you doing here?”

Adam glanced at Sarka.

ʼOh, so they know each other? They donʼt seem like friends, but that doesnʼt mean theyʼre enemies either, right?ʼ

”Well, well, we, just like you, decided to head to the Pit to find another Frenzied Shard.”

Vyora smirked, looking down her nose at Sarka. It seemed her goal was to piss Sarka off as much as possible.

”Yes. Itʼs the most effective way to show you which one of us is better!” Vyora waved her hand mockingly.

Sarka clenched her teeth tightly, her anger slowly rising, but soon Loargh and Vyora noticed someone else.

”Agh…?” Vyora blinked several times, staring intently at Adam. She couldnʼt believe what she was seeing.

Loargh raised his eyebrow as well.

Sure, before attacking the second servant, they had seen Adam and Sarka from a distance, but they hadnʼt had time for a thorough analysis.

They assumed that Sarka, as one of the Fangs, was helping another monster find a Frenzied Shard to obtain the Hollow Mark.

In the end, it all came down to the monster wanting to become stronger, neither Sarka nor anyone else could help with the Frenzied Shardʼs energy, but sometimes finding the Frenzied Shard was the hardest part.

The Pit was a dangerous place, and the Frenzied Shards used every method at their disposal to protect themselves through their servants.

”Wait, wait, wait!” Vyora exclaimed, flustered. ”Loargh, do you see that? Itʼs… Itʼs a Phantom!”

Loargh rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

”How curious. I havenʼt heard of a Phantom appearing in our lands. Moreover…” His gaze lingered on Adam for a long time. ”Who would have thought it would be him?”

Adam was confused as Vyora ran her fingers through her hair, staring at him like a fan at a celebrity.

”Holy shit! Youʼre right! I just realized that now!”

Vyora exclaimed.

”Itʼs fucking Adam Vinter!”

Strangely enough, Adam himself was the most surprised of all.

Why didnʼt Sarka and the others know about him, but Vyora and Loargh reacted just like a random K1-Phantom when they met him?
