Adrian stood under the night sky a while longer before leaving the roof. Everyone in Novemton eagerly awaited for the finals to begin as Jerome and Remy prepared for their final battle. The spectators waited patiently to witness the birth of the new legate, while reporters zoned in on Wyvern Peak like hawks. Samantha and her family, including Juno, returned to Swallowston, while reporters from all over the world rushed to Wyvern Peak, ready to record the finals. Billions of people waited for the final event, anxiously waiting for it to take place. Adrian sat in his office writing a letter. It was a letter addressed to all of the citizens of Novemton. His letter contained the hopes he had for the next generation as War Legate Draco before he retired. The Battle Warrior Departments scattered throughout the cities, counties, and villages throughout Novemton made copies of the letter upon receiving it. Soon, everyone had a copy and read through it silently.[It has been four years s
They all hoped he would retain his position for another four years, but that did not seem possible anymore.***One Jewel Road in Swallowston was brightly lit.As Adrian’s family read the letter, they felt all of Adrian's regrets in every single word. He may have dealt with Internal Affairs, but he did not have the opportunity to purge the world of the many outland organizations.Samantha thought back to the past. More specifically, she was recalling when Adrian had just returned to Swallowston. She lamented how time had passed so quickly and how Adrian had only retained his position for a few more years since then.'He's grown old…’Samantha picked up Nova from her cot and carried her to the observatory. She pointed in the direction of Wyvern Peak and said, "Daddy's over there, Nova. He'll be home soon.""Da…da… Dada!" Nova's cries traveled all the way to Wyvern Peak. ***Dong!Dong, dong!Dong, dong, dong!!!The deafening sound of the drums could be heard from Wyvern P
Dong, dong, dong!!!The sound of drums rang out as billions of people cheered. Everyone sitting around the stage became nervous as the finals began.The moment the first elder announced the start of the battle, Jerome and Remy clenched their fists and unleashed their mighty aura, which caused another wave of cheers. The two candidates spotted someone on the roof of Wyvern Peak's main hall.It was Adrian in a black cape, quietly watching them.They looked at Adrian, recalling him saying they were to continue their match no matter what happened that day. Those words from ten days ago rang in their mind as though they were just yesterday. They both looked at one another and yelled, "Let's go!"Boom!!!Their auras were so intense that even the ground beneath their feet shattered as they charged at one another. They both swung powerful punches that clashed on impact.And thus, began the finals of the selection! ***Adrian remained calm as he watched Jerome and Remy fight. Raqu
Nobody knew who the man was, but the light he emitted made him look like a celestial being who had the ability to decide everyone's fate.Jerome and Remy, who were engaged in a heated battle, quickly noticed the man. They stopped their fight and stared at him."Who’s that?" Remy asked. Jerome shook his head, but Adrian suddenly said, "Have you two already forgotten what I said? Carry on!" "But sir!" "Sir!" As Adrian walked off, Jerome and Remy stopped hesitating.Jerome said, "No more games, Remy. I'm going to defeat you and help War Legate Draco.""Me too," Remy replied. The pair once again engaged in battle, no longer affected by what was happening around them. ***The spectators were so shocked by the immortal being's presence that they began to retreat. The man walked out from the deep crater and glanced at the people with contempt until he reached Jerome and Remy.This man was none other than Bashir himself. His objective was to eliminate both candidates who woul
The black light beam landed squarely on Adrian's chest. The beams even went through his chest and exited from his back.That single punch stunned everyone as Adrian coughed up blood and was thrown back two hundred meters, crashing heavily into the ground."Aah!!!"Many spectators screamed. Some felt rage building up inside of them. "Sir!""Sir!" Jerome and Remy's eyes turned bloodshot when they saw what happened and were about to rush to his aid. "Continue!" Adrian yelled, "Remember what I said, do not let your emotions take over no matter what happens. The two of you represent our hope for a better future. Now, carry on!" Jerome and Remy seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. While everyone watched in astonishment, Adrian clutched his chest and got to his feet.Seeing that he was able to stand up, Bashir said amusedly, "That's strange. You're the only human who has ever taken my attack and lived. Have I gone easy on you perhaps? To an immortal like me, destroy
The first elder frowned upon hearing this. Raquel added, "Adrian's powers will only last for so long. He'll begin to weaken soon. Also, his body won't be able to withstand the blowback.""This will be the hardest fight he has been through so far," the sixth elder said. "He won’t last much longer," Raquel said. Within minutes, Adrian began to pant heavily, while Bashir looked like he had a lot of energy left to spare. There were very few instances where Adrian had shown to be this exhausted. It was evident that the explosive powers he unleashed had been depleted, and he was about to suffer a relentless flurry of attacks. Sure enough, Bashir threw Adrian to the ground the moment Raquel finished her sentence. At that moment, countless wounds appeared on Adrian's body, and his muscles that were bulging a moment ago began to recede."Oh no…"“Sh*t…"Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. The mighty War Legate Draco could not last long against an immortal. But despit
Everyone stopped the moment they heard his words, not daring to take another step forward. Based on the current situation, it did not matter if they had the number's advantage as it would be futile against an immortal. "War Legate Draco!" "War Legate Draco!"Everyone looked at Adrian anxiously, yet were helpless to do anything no matter how furious they were. Bashir had proven that he could single-handedly rival all of Wyvern Peak. It seems like no one could help Adrian. Pow, pow, pow!!!After another flurry of punches, Bashir sent Adrian flying once more with a huge grin on his face. His movements were so swift that he looked like a blur to everyone else's eyes. Raquel, Lucas, and the others were watching the battle from above, showing no intention of moving in to save Adrian. They would have done so a lot sooner if Adrian had not told them that he wanted to give Jerome and the others one last lesson through this fight. On top of that, he wanted to show the outlanders Wyvern P
Bashir took a few steps back and sneered after breaking Adrian's leg. "Still able to stand up, you little brat? I do have to hand it to you for lasting this long against an immortal. Still, this is your limit. Is everyone in Wyvern Peak and Novemton capable of only this much?" Seeing Bashir laughing away, Zero frowned and coldly said, "That b*stard would've been blown to smithereens by Novemton’s bombshells if War Legate Draco hadn't given us orders otherwise."In truth, Crystal had ordered for the most powerful weapons in Novemton's headquarters to be locked onto Bashir. All it took was for Adrian to give them the order, and Bashir would be blown to bits. Yet, he said nothing about this. This was the last time he was enduring a blow for Novemton so that he could awaken the fighting spirits inside all Novemtoners. More importantly, he wanted to ignite Jerome and Remy's hearts.'This is my only shot at getting this right!'Under everyone's gaze, Adrian, whose one leg was now brok
