The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1213
For the first time, Adrian was filled with so much anticipation. He looked forward to Juno, Sage, and also Jerome’s performance. This year’s legate selection would be the most exciting and powerful throughout Wyvern Peak’s history. Society progressed, technologies advanced, and people moved forward. The candidates became more outstanding as the years went by. The current students might even easily break Adrian’s past records.Adrian and Raquel flew to Gorgonshire that very night. Adrian wanted to meet Jerome in person.***Many people were gathered at the Gorgonshire Academy of Gorgonton. There was news that the elderly principal, Saul, was deathly ill and would pass soon. The orphans he had adopted over the years, the people he had helped, and his numerous students came as soon as possible to see him one last time.Saul had been a military advisor of Wyvern Peak many years ago, serving the legate two offices before Adrian. He had helped War Legate Achelous lead the troops to two

Saul started calling out. The people in the room panicked. Saul’s son got up and shouted, “Call Jerome! Find out where he is now!”“Jerome’s back!” A voice came from outside the room. A nineteen-year-old young man ran into the room. He made his way to the bedside and dropped to his knees, his hands clutching Saul’s hands. It was Jerome, the babe found in the War Legate Shrine who had encountered countless hardships while growing up yet never gave up hope. “I’m back, sir,” said Jerome shakily, clutching tightly to Saul’s hands. He trembled and tears blurred his vision as he gazed at his esteemed mentor who was at death’s door. Saul turned and stretched out a hand to cup Jerome’s face. “You’re back, my child.”“Yes, I am,” said Jerome with tears. He felt powerless in the face of his mentor’s failing condition. He could only watch with tears in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Saul said weakly, “You’ve seen War Legate Draco, right?”Jerome nodded. “Yes, I have, si

“Father!”“Mr. Saul!”A cacophony of cries followed Saul’s passing. His two children and the students he had supported broke down in tears.He was gone. Saul had enjoyed telling people that he was a commoner who wanted to live an uncommon life. He joined Wyvern Peak at twenty and he attended Azure Creek University for two years. He was then transferred to Wyvern Peak and given the position of military advisor for the Leo Squad. Within a year, the legate promoted him to Wyvern Peak’s chief military advisor, he led the organization to numerous victories.His health then deteriorated and he left Wyvern Peak. However, Saul did not become sluggish because of this. He founded a school, financially supported poor students, and educated many people. He had trained numerous talents for Wyvern Peak every year. There were currently at least seventy Wyvern Peak members who used to be Saul’s students.“Father!” Saul’s children bawled. Jerome clenched his fists tightly. He remained kneeling

Raquel was acquainted with Saul and even attended one of his lectures. Though it was only an hour, it benefitted Raquel for the rest of her life. She never expected to see the day such a highly-respected scholar and military advisor leave this world.“I still recall Saul’s lecture from when I first joined Wyvern Peak. I found it enlightening, and his words still affect me up to this day.”Raquel shook her head, feeling rather powerless. It was inevitable that Saul would pass away one day, but it was just too sudden “Is that Jerome?” she asked. Adrian nodded and gazed at the person holding an urn in the frontmost car. “Yes. Jerome gives me the impression of a very calm person. He’s rather mature and his mentality has far surpassed his peers due to lack of parents.”“He exudes a kingly presence that not even you had when you first became legate.” Raquel had been there from the moment Adrian became Wyvern Peak’s leader. She was merely stating the truth. She turned to him and said

It was Adrian. He wanted to guide Jerome on the final path. Jerome failed to notice Adrian, simply standing quietly by the river and gazing out at the darkness ahead, feeling the wind in his hair. Adrian stopped in his tracks and said, “Have you ever considered that the darkness ahead you can’t perceive is your future?”Jerome was startled upon hearing the voice. He whipped around and took two steps back upon noticing Adrian. “W-War Legate Draco? What brought you here?” said Jerome in astonishment. He had just returned from Songton, so theoretically, the legate should be there. How was Adrian here right now?Jerome scrutinized Adrian and was convinced that it was indeed War Legate Draco who was standing before him right now. He recalled Saul saying that everything had been arranged by War Legate Draco. It was War Legate Draco who opened this path for him and brought him to where he was today while Saul was just the person who guided him down the path. Jerome said in shock, “W

Adrian asked, “Do you think that you’re the reincarnation of five legates?”Jerome shook his head. “I’m not. I was just abandoned by my parents. I am myself—a unique and one-of-a-kind individual.”Adrian patted Jerome’s shoulder. “The reality is that you can surpass the five legates and show the world your capabilities.”“I-I can surpass the five legates?” Jerome pointed at himself in disbelief. The five legates were regarded as god-like entities throughout history. Their extraordinary achievements were recognized by all. Jerome was flattered by Adrian’s aspiring words. “Did Saul tell you to do better?” asked Adrian. “Yes, he did,” Jerome said, “He told me not to pursue the best, but to do better in everything. He wanted me to be even better than the best.”Adrian said, “Do you believe you’re capable of that?”“I…” Jerome lowered his head and stared at his hands, questioning if he had the ability to do so. Adrian said, “Everyone has their aspirations and pursuits. However,

Adrian’s words guided Jerome to move forward like an invisible force. The passion that Jerome had kept hidden in his heart erupted. It ignited a fire of strong determination and grand ambitions in him.Jerome had been stirred.***After meeting Jerome, Adrian and Raquel headed to the airport to leave Gorgonshire. Raquel asked Adrian while she drove, “How’s the boy? Do you think he’s qualified?”One would need not only capability but also awareness, courage, and great character to lead Wyvern Peak. Adrian had observed every candidate and was trying to understand them so that he could choose a suitable successor. After all, this was no trivial matter. “I shall hold back my assessment for the time being,” Adrian replied. There were things that were inappropriate to say for the time being because he placed his hope on not only Jerome. Other than their skills, there were many other factors that influenced one’s ability to lead Wyvern Peak.Noticing Adrian’s reluctance to comment,

In One Jewel Road of Swallowston, the family was enjoying a meal when Juno ran in with an information sheet in her hand. She said excitedly, “Guys, the six competition regions and rules have been announced.”Rue, Samantha, Gloria, and Adaline quickly looked toward Juno in surprise. “Let me see it,” said Samantha eagerly. Juno passed the information sheet to Samantha and sat on the sofa. Samantha read aloud, “The competition regions are Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound. Will the prelims take place throughout the six regions simultaneously?”“Yes, the prelims will be followed by the challenger rounds, then the finals. The finals will be happening at Wyvern Peak’s headquarters. Just thinking about it is stressful,” said Juno smilingly.Samantha tutted. “The assessment will be using a cumulative points system.”“And the new leader of Wyvern Peak will only be qualified for the position through breaking at least three records set by the previous

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.

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.

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.

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
