Chapter 1032

Author: Celestial Clouds
Gloria asked Adrian a tough question.

'If we want to send Ridge out of Serpent's Haven, we're going to have to enter the enemy base directly. But right now, there are still tens of thousands of people missing. It's only a matter of time before our enemies find them…'

At that thought, Adrian held Gloria's shoulder and turned on the screen on his communicator. "I did a rough calculation of the distance. The enemy base is on the plains to the northeast of the island. We should come across a lot of our stranded men on our way there. Along the way there, we'll take a look around the swamp area. I'm sure we'll find a lot of them there."

Gloria squinted. "How do you know?"

"It's a deduction. If I were separated from my unit, I wouldn't go looking for them to reunite with them. Instead, the only thing I could do to get back in contact with them would be at the enemy base. If my guess is right, our comrades are thinking about the same thing. They're going to head to the enemy base and find

    Lena played the signal on the communicator. “Scratch-scratch-scratch!”“Scratch-scratch-scratch!”A series of scratching sounds came out.Gloria anxiously said, "That's it. That's all there is to the signal. It might be like this because the signal's barely within range. Wildfire, try extending our signal's range.”"Wait." Adrian stopped her. Gloria became confused when she heard this. "Play that signal again,” he said.Gloria did as she was told. When Adrian heard the scratching sounds once more, he quickly said, "That's not caused by a lack of signal strength, it's Morse code! It's Morse code for S.O.S!""An S.O.S. in Morse code?" Gloria asked curiously.Meanwhile, Adrian instructed, "Wildfire, quick! See if you can find out where the source of the signal is. The rest of you, prepare to rescue whoever it is. They're probably nearby.""Yes, sir." Everyone prepared themselves.A while later, Wildfire said, "Sir, our technology isn't advanced enough to pinpoint the lo

    Right after Mya gave the warning, a gunshot was heard, followed by a shiny bullet flying toward them from the mountaintop.Adrian backflipped, barely avoiding the bullet. He dashed away upon landing, and another shot was fired.Naturally, the second one was fired by Mya, and a man rolled down from the mountaintop not too far from her. She immediately switched spots and said, "They're using our men to lure us in. Be careful, everyone. We may have company!" The others became vigilant upon hearing this. Mya, who excelled at anti-recon, scanned the mountaintops and said, "They're up in the mountains. From the looks of it, there are probably around two hundred of them, with twelve snipers among their ranks."Bang!Mya fired another shot and took down a second sniper."Alan!" Lucas shouted, "Grab ten men and follow me. We'll take them by surprise from behind.""Yes, sir!" Bang, bang, bang!While they were deploying their strategy, another wave of gunshots was fired, a few of the

    Dozens of guns were aimed straight at Adrian, but the latter hurled his dagger the moment they did this. It sliced through an entire enemy rank as though it had a mind of its own.Their enemy leader had no idea what hit him when he was cut down. After Adrian landed, he pulled out another dagger and charged into his enemy's ranks. His bloodthirsty dagger continuously claimed the lives of its enemies, followed by their agonizing screams. At the same time, Lucas, Klause, and the others arrived from behind, slashing their way through the battlefield. The entire army of two hundred men was vanquished in mere moments, their corpses piled up on the ground.Adrian wiped the blood off his dagger and said, "Lucas, collect their weapons. Also, take their clothes as well. We might be able to make use of them.""Yes, sir.” Without wasting another second, Adrian leaped off the mountains and headed for the container, where Lena was trying her best to save Griffin. She had done some urgent me

    Griffin cried, "He was right in front of me… And I just watched as the Eight Hollows killed him. He told me to get everyone out of there. He said we were no match for them. We had no choice but to retreat…"Adrian nodded. "Daniel made the right call, and so did you. Everyone would've died there if you tried to save him. You shouldn’t blame yourself.""But… How am I supposed to tell his wife? What about his son and daughter? I should've protected him, but I failed."Right after Griffin said this, his injuries opened up again and blood flowed out. Lena panicked. "You have to stop blaming yourself, Griffin. Your agitation is leading to your stitches becoming undone, and now I have to sew them back together again. Could you please have some respect for a powerless doctor and biologist like me?"Adrian smiled at Griffin. "Don't blame yourself. Nobody here will judge you. Do you know where the others are?""Before we got separated, I saw Battle Warrior Steel lead his men toward the sw

    Adrian tried to come up with a better idea but came to the conclusion that they would have to keep moving that night to reach the enemy base in time."Tell them to rest for another half an hour. After that, we press on," Adrian said to Gloria, who nodded and passed on the message.Half an hour soon passed and the group departed. A few scouts in front were paving the way with their flashlights on, while the others remained vigilant as they kept their eyes peeled on their surroundings. It was much harder to travel through a rainforest at night, but members of Wyvern Peak were used to walking such arduous paths. After about two hours, Gloria confirmed the direction they were moving in, and Lena—the doctor and biologist—proved to be crucial. She could determine whether there were any dangers around them based on the terrain, environment, and temperature, making her an excellent guide. Her knowledge of the area was evident. Two hours later, they entered an area filled with mountains,

    Soon, Gloria snapped her fingers. "Let's take a look at the topographic map!" She turned on her communicator and brought up an enlarged map of Serpent's Haven."Dragon Peak's base may be on the plains, but there's a mountain about two hundred meters behind it, and it's around five hundred meters tall. If we rig the parachutes to the containers and modify the parachutes to be opened via remote control, it’d be a done deal, right?" Gloria smiled."The problem with that plan is how are we to get our hands on some parachutes? The ones we came in are probably all riddled with holes," Alan said. "We're not the ones using the parachute, so all we have to do is mend them just enough to carry the weight of the containers."Lucas piped up, "This sounds like a good plan. We're at a numbers disadvantage, so going up against them head-on will surely end in casualties. We should try Gloria’s plan if we want to ensure we don't lose any more of our people."Adrian looked at Lena. "Are you anxiou

    Lena called out, "Catch!"She fished out a large bag of sulfur and threw it to Adrian, who then opened it up and scattered its contents all over. The snakes retreated when the sulfur landed on the ground, while Adrian rounded them up and executed them.Lucas waved to signal a few others to pick up the containers, and they continued on their journey. The snake-filled containers were extremely heavy, but it was not a problem with ten people carrying each of them.The entire ordeal had taken up two hours of their precious time, so everyone picked up the pace.The rainforest was extremely silent at night, with the occasional howls from wild beasts and a few animals feasting on their meals. The unit continued its journey without any rest, with Gloria leading the way. Throughout the night, they did not come across any enemies, nor did they find any allies.At dawn, they finally got close to the enemy base. The bright sun rose and shone its rays across the rainforest before Adrian and th

    "Please don't do this," Lena cried. She injected Ridge with adrenaline and was now using the defibrillator on him, causing his body to jerk vigorously. "Increase the voltage! Clear!" Lena yelled as she used the defibrillator again, and again…Everyone looked stunned as they stared at Ridge on his stretcher. All of them, including Gloria, shed tears. They felt like time had stopped. Meanwhile, somewhere in a faraway village deep within the mountains, a beautiful girl stood by her village's entrance, looking toward a large mountain to the north. Her emotions seemed to have resonated with her loved one as her fists were clenched, but she could not fathom why she felt so heartbroken at that very moment. "You can do this…" she murmured.“I know you can."Don't give up! "Don't ever give up! "Please!"The girl's eyes welled up with tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked helplessly toward the large mountain while calling out to her lover. Meanwhile, the defibrillator was u

This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
