The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1338
As Strider got older, the number of strange incidents surrounding him grew as well. At first, he was like any other human, but the villagers soon noticed that he could leap to the tops of mountains and crush boulders. He was also often spotted radiating with a faint light.All of this caused the villagers to feel frightened and spread rumors that Strider was the she-wolf's offspring that took on a human form to seek vengeance on the villagers. Thus, no one dared to get close to him.After Strider's grandfather passed, his adoptive parents met their demise too, further solidifying the villagers' assumption that Strider was a wolf on a revenge spree.***Adrian was silent after hearing Flint's story. It was indeed easy for the uneducated to think of Strider as a monster after those series of events. Yet, this only made Adrian more interested in Strider."Adrian, as interesting as Flint's story is, there's no way Strider's a wolf's offspring. Someone must’ve deliberately placed him i

Adrian believed this was all a conspiracy the moment immortals came into play. However, he knew nothing more about the matter, and his only choice was to start his investigation at the time of their births.***The trio approached Strider Mountain at four in the afternoon. They could see the village of fifty families from afar. Their houses were all built out of stones, reminiscent of the old times."That's Strider Village," Mya said.Adrian nodded in response.They soon arrived at the village. After parking their car at the village entrance, Mya got Adrian out of the car and placed him into his wheelchair before the trio strode in. Strider Village was mostly quiet, with a few elderly men sitting on the porches of their houses as children ran around. None of them noticed the trio's arrival. Mya pointed at a house on the village outskirts. "That's where Strider lives. Let's go." Strider's house was about six hundred meters away from the village. It could even be considered not

“Who are you and why are you here?" Anita asked in perfect Navillian. Adrian gazed at the beautiful, innocent-looking girl in tattered clothes. This indicated to him that her conditions were not great. Even her house did not have electricity. After a moment of silence, he said, “Hello, my name is Adrian Xander.”Adrian reached out her hand to shake her hand. However, it was customary for the local girls to not have any contact with any men who were not their husbands, especially unmarried women. Thus, Anita did not shake his hand and instead asked, "Who are you?"Adrian smiled. "I've come from Swallowston to see your brother, Strider Hicks. Here's my working license.” He behaved accordingly when he saw how cautious Anita was. "War Legate Draco? Wait, you're War Legate Draco?!" Anita asked in shock. Adrian nodded. "Yes, I am. I've come here for two reasons. The first is to meet your brother, and the other is to help you and your family overcome poverty.""Overcome poverty?" D

Anita hesitated for a moment but then nodded and let them in. Adrian revealed a heartfelt smile as Mya pushed him inside.The stone house only had one room. The living room, kitchen, and bedroom were a combined space of a little over fifty square meters. This was because much of the resources required to build a house were stone. It would take a person about a year to excavate enough rocks to build a single house. On top of that, rocks were precious to them so they could not bring themselves to build elaborate houses. Instead, they would sell off most of the rocks they could gather. Aside from a crude table made of wood, the house did not have much other furniture. There were three beds, one for each family member, but they were really small. There was a curtain made of banana leaves between Anita and Strider's beds, providing Anita the privacy she needed. Cooking was done outside and they had their meals while sitting on the floor as they did not own any chairs. A small mat made ou

Mya took out all of her snacks and spread them out on the banana leaf mat. Smiling, she said to Anita, "You've never had these before, have you? The girls in the city love them. Come try some."She opened up a bag of chips and handed it to Anita, who looked a little nervous as she took it. Still smiling, Mya said, "Try it. It's really tasty. Those are my favorite."Anita nodded and tried a piece. "Do you like it?" Mya asked.Anita nodded once more. "These are all for you. You could eat them every day from now on if you want. Would you like to go to the city and have your own room? Do you want to wear nice clothes and be in a relationship with a dashingly handsome man?" Anita nodded again. Mya stroked Anita's hair with a smile. "I promise to fulfill your every wish. In return, I need you to tell me and Adrian everything about Strider. For example, where is he right now?" While eating, Anita pointed to a mountain and said, "He goes up the mountains before the sun even rises

"Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!" Jenny panicked and ran over when she saw Adrian getting out of his wheelchair. Adrian took a deep breath, withstanding the pain in his legs. After flexing for a moment, he said, "I'm fine. I've been in that wheelchair for more than half a month now. It's time I get some exercise." "Y-You're infuriating! Why do you insist on moving around when you're still recovering?" Jenny scolded. Mya did not seem too surprised. After all, she was used to Adrian's personality after having followed him for so long. She even thought it would be odd for Adrian to sit still in the face of such a situation.Ignoring Jenny's words, Adrian said, "I'm leaving Anita in your care while Mya and I head to Strider Mountain. Wait for us here.""Do you want to lose your legs?" Jenny stomped her foot angrily. "My legs are fine, Jen. Come on, Mya. Let’s go." Adrian then strode out of the house. Mya gave Jenny a pat on the shoulder before following after him. ***

Due to the bright moonlight, the man and the wolf could be seen clearly."It’s Strider…" Adrian whispered. "No wonder the villagers call him the child of a wolf. He seems really chummy with them, don’t you think?“Wait… That wolf has only two legs, and Strider's holding a wild rabbit. He's feeding it. He's taking care of that wolf!" Mya exclaimed in shock. Adrian looked surprised too.Suddenly…"Who's there?" Strider whipped around, emitting a beam of light against the dark of night.In the blink of an eye, he was standing before Adrian. His fist was about a centimeter away from Adrian's face, but he quickly retracted it the moment he saw the two. "Who are you? Why are you following me?" Strider asked as he took a few steps back. The pair stood and dusted the dried leaves off themselves. "We weren't following you. We came here to find you,” Adrian explained."Find me?” Strider frowned. He soon recognized Mya. "It's you. Didn't I already say I won’t go with you? What are

Strider sat on the ground. There was not a single person who did not wish for their siblings to lead a happy life, including Strider. Noting Strider’s silence, Adrian asked, "What are you afraid of when you've got such powers? Is there something stopping you?"Strider shook his head. "Nothing's stopping me.""Then why would you be fine living deep in the mountains for the rest of your life? You've heard Jerome and Remy's stories, haven't you? Although the three of you are alike, you've chosen a different life from them. Do you really wish to live like an ordinary mortal?"Although Strider lived deep in the mountains, he was aware of everything that happened at Wyvern Peak. For a long time, he had dreamt of becoming Wyvern Peak's legate, but he ultimately did not choose that path.Strider had a good friend in Knoxville, a businessman who came from a major city. Whenever the two conducted business, Strider would hear of events that took place at Wyvern Peak, which was how he knew a

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? 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?

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
