YM778.TV Chapter 116: The Solar Paragon
Ancient drumming reverberated through the territory next, sending his heart into a beating frenzy.
An unbearable heat followed, causing glistening sweat to cover his forehead and his armor\'s fabric to stick to his skin.
Even his draconic scales failed to mitigate it, speaking volumes about the temperature.
Yet an icy shiver ran down his spine, and his eyes trembled as he realised it was only the beginning.
Without wasting a second, he threw himself by the demon den\'s frozen half.
The icy air coming straight from Jotunheim sank into his skin, trying to reach the bones. Despite the discomfort, he gritted his teeth and endured because... the flames hadn\'t appeared in the frame yet. Discover exclusive content at mvl
And a second later, he gazed in horror as milky white flames swirled into existence. Their heat alone vaporised the surrounding air particles, creating a glistening show of steam and vapor. Worse, the paved ground turned orange and then melted under their passive radiance.
His heart pounded, rumbling in his ears as even the frost encasing him seemed to retreat before them.
"He must be an incredible flame manipulator! Perhaps the son of Hephaestus."
As if to echo his theories, the drumming intensified as the flames shifted to represent a pair of earrings and a golden armor radiating a divine light.
Then, they formed a bow and arrows before condensing into a bright sun shining its rays on his face like a sun.
"It\'s not just flames! Perhaps the son of Horus or Helios! And the weaponry suggests he is a warrior!"
However, amidst his excitement, he noticed the flames halt for a second as if reluctant to shift into one last thing.
Time seemed to stop at that moment, the crackling sun being the only noise bypassing this rule.
Adam held his breath, absorbed by the sight, before a gentle voice pierced the silence.
"I gave up everything for it. So, be kind and give it back."
As if to acknowledge the incredible figure\'s words, the flames shifted into a divine spear.
Burning hotter than the sun, its dark frame sent a chill course down Adam\'s spine as the mysteries surrounding the man\'s identity increased by the second.
Unable to endure the suspense, a roar pierced his mind as he raised his clenched fist.
\'Come out, my SSR mythical figure!\'
Echoing his thought, a golden boot emerged from the Gate and stepped onto the bright orange street. Intricately carved greaves followed before a fabric woven out of red and golden silk covered them. Attached to the belt, it broke the shining monotony of color and added a regal flair to the attire.
A torso pierced the flames next.
The contrast of the dark fabric and golden lines covering it accentuated the man\'s chiselled muscles as his powerful gauntleted arms followed.
But Adam\'s eyes lingered on the gem protruding from his chest before they trailed up to the golden necklace and earring dangling amidst the flames.
\'Just show yourself! The suspense is killing me!\'
Finally, milky white hair fluttered in the wind as a handsome face appeared amidst the vanishing flames.
The man\'s lips curled into a bright smile as his scarlet eyes locked onto the sun.
"I missed that feeling." Then, he placed his hand over his chest and turned to the gawking Adam. "So, you\'re the one who broke the rules to summon me."
He tucked his fingers around his chin before he shrugged.
"It doesn\'t matter if you\'re a demon. As long as your heart is good, I\'ll offer you my loyalty."
Adam\'s chest tightened as a warm feeling spread around his chest. He shook his head to chase the bewilderment crooking his features and rushed to the man, eager to learn more about him.
Upon reaching him, he raised his thumbs and grinned like a kid.
"Welcome! Welcome to my territory. You\'re the fourth mythical figure I summoned. Could you please share your name and story with me?"
The man shook his head elegantly, conveying that he didn\'t want to share his past too much.
"I\'m Karna, the son of the sun god. But let\'s not delve too much into it. Instead, I can tell you what I\'m proficient in."
Heart pounding in his chest, Adam gestured for Karna to continue since he didn\'t know about his legends. He also didn\'t mind the man\'s desire to keep his past to himself. Instead, he respected it and focused on his character and abilities.
But more than that, he roared in triumph in his mind.
\'He is a half-god! I\'m sure he can handle Achilles.\' His smile broadened on his lips. \'If he can call upon solar flames like the ones in his summoning, he even has a chance to beat him!\'
Meanwhile, Karna nodded and continued.
"I\'m primarily a warrior proficient in archery and spear-wielding." He pointed his finger to his golden armor. "My Kavacha is a part of my body and grants me immunity to any weapon strikes." Then, he pointed to his kundalas. "They grant me protection against magic and immortality."
Adam\'s pupils constricted, and his jaws dropped.
"Really?! You\'re even more invincible than Achilles then!"
However, Karna shook his head, a bitter taste filling his mouth.
"I\'m as long as I wear them. Someone... deceived me into giving them to him..."
Adam saw the conflicted expression covering his new mythical figure\'s face and rapidly raised his hand.
"Let\'s not talk about that. In my territory, I want everyone to live happy and fulfilling lives. Even if I\'m the lord, you don\'t have to follow my orders if they go against your beliefs and values. I\'ll check your stats just to have a complete idea about your abilities." He smiled warmly. "Then, you can explore the place and see for yourself what kind of lord I\'m."
Noticing Karna\'s lips raise into a smile, he focused on his figure to make his panel appear.
