The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1375
This was Lewis’ first time seeing unlimited confidence in Jerome’s eyes and he could feel how grand his legate’s ambitions were.It was well known that Wyvern Peak, Dragon Peak, and Novemton were part of Novemton’s territories. But Dragon Peak had fallen into enemy hands because the three forces were not properly connected. If they could unite all three entities, Novemton would become impregnable and could launch both offense and defense against the outlands.Lewis understood Jerome's immense ambition, albeit it was not something that could be realized overnight. The task that War Legate Draco had failed to complete had been taken up by the new legate. "Dragon Peak will be mine very soon."After Jerome informed him of his next plan of action, Lewis wondered if War Legate Dominus would be able to take over Dragon Peak and make it his own."Yes, sir. I'll get right to it," Lewis responded before leaving.***Jerome, dressed in his war legate battle suit, ascended to the rooftop o
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1376
An emergency meeting was held at Novemton headquarters. Crystal strode into the conference room and sat down. "What's happening at the moat? Have the Eight Hollows appeared?""Your Majesty, they showed up at the natural moat this morning but have yet to enter our territory. Judging by their movements, they seem to be planning something.”"Our forces can’t withstand an attack from the Eight Hollows, not when they're immortals.""The situation has become extremely dire. We need a counterattack plan. There are not many people within Novemton who can match up to them should they choose to attack us."The emergence of immortals had completely turned the tide as they could single-handedly take out an entire army. At this moment, the word “immortal” sent fear into everyone's hearts. "What's Wyvern Peak's status? Has War Legate Dominus given any orders?" Crystal anxiously asked after hearing everyone's opinions. "The legate is still in Wyvern Peak. We don't know what he has planned."

“I should believe in him?" Crystal mumbled. She thought about Adrian and the expectations he had for Jerome. ‘That’s right… I should believe in Jerome. I should believe in Adrian!'Crystal was confident that Adrian would never misjudge someone. His words continued to ring in her mind, giving her the positivity she needed. She turned around and said, "I want all departments in Novemton to stand down. Everything stays the same. We'll leave the natural moat to Dominus. And from this moment on, if I hear another word of slander against him, the perpetrator should be punished according to the law.""B-But…"Crystal's sudden decision left everyone stunned. Jerome's actions told everyone that he was inviting the Eight Hollows into their homes, yet Crystal chose to have faith in him. "Yes, Your Majesty," everyone responded in unison. On the surface, they all seemed to accept what she had said, but this was far from the truth."Is she even worthy of being our monarch? Why would she beli

With his eyes still shut, Jerome responded, "I hear them."Lewis anxiously said, "Are you really going to remain silent through all this? At this rate, your reputation will be dragged through the mud. The citizens are realistic people. They only hurl insults at you when they feel you can't protect them.""Has Remy reached his position?" Jerome asked, ignoring Lewis' statement."Judging by his coordinates, Sir Remy's five hundred men should arrive at three this afternoon. But will they be able to take Dragon Peak? That place is guarded by approximately forty thousand people, including those from major organizations," Lewis reported."Where are the Eight Hollows now?" "They're loitering at our gates, which is strange. They could come in whenever they want, yet they haven't done so. They seem to be hesitating." "Those who think too much tend to hesitate. It's only normal." Jerome opened his eyes. "What do you mean, sir?" "Their hesitation grants them a few more days to live, a

The Eight Hollows were marching! Everyone's gaze followed their every move through the major media platforms across Novemton as they reported what was happening."The Eight Hollows entered our country at eight this morning. Yet, War Legate Dominus still remains silent, fueling suspicions that he’s a member of the Eight Hollows.""Jerome isn't worthy of commanding Wyvern Peak! He's damned us all!" "Get out of here Jerome!" Fear struck everyone's hearts as the news reports and their drones broadcasted the Eight Hollows’ invasion. The immortals among the Eight Hollows intimidated the people to no end. "They're here! What's Jerome doing?!"Back in One Jewel Road, Gloria said calmly while watching the news, "Jerome’s been laying in hiding for so many days. I’m sure he’s about to retaliate. The kid is following his mentor’s footsteps.”Samantha pondered over Gloria's statement, then asked, "Is he someone we can rely on?""Adrian would never make such a mistake, and Jerome's an a

Everyone in Novemton was stunned speechless.The reporters were whipped into a frenzy."A beam of light has just arrived at Ganon Mountain! It was produced by a young man wielding a sword and emitting a chilling aura.”"Oh my god… I-It's Jerome!" The cameras panned toward the young man, and Jerome's handsome face was broadcasted far and wide to all of Novemton. "It’s him!" "He's here!" "He has finally shown up!”"Damn! He’s really here!”Countless cheers could be heard. Nobody had Jerome to suddenly show up at the mountain peak and halt the Eight Hollows' advance. Everyone was stunned. They did not know what Jerome could possibly achieve alone. Like a dominating figure, he stood atop the mountain as his image was broadcast live. "Jerome!""Jerome!""Jerome!" Students at Novemton High became excited when they saw this scene and started shouting out his name. Sierra, the one who promised she would wait for Jerome until he was ready, covered her mouth and teared up as

“He's going to take their heads?!'Jerome’s words excited the people and raised their spirits. Those who insulted him held their breaths, trying to calm down as everything they assumed about Jerome was now being overturned. They had not expected Jerome to show up at Ganon Mountain. Jerome was about to defend Novemton's gates single-handedly, and the Eight Hollows were ready for the grand finale against Wyvern Peak's newly appointed legate.Countless eyes were watching the scene through the drones' live feeds. They held their breaths as mixed feelings swirled through them at how they had insulted Jerome while hiding within their cities and begging to be protected. This nineteen-year-old young man has proven himself to be better than ninety-nine percent of everyone in Novemton without having to do anything. As time ticked by, everyone’s nerves reached their peak. Javi and the others looked like they were waiting for Jerome to slip up. Yet, he stood there and showed no signs of we

He wiped off the water on his face, revealing a smile as he muttered, "Your journey has begun, Jerome."As he continued down the streets of Enigma City, countless shadows suddenly emerged before him. Wiping the edge of his mouth, he said, "Looks like my battle has begun too. Let's do this.“Bring it on! I don't care how many of you there are! I'll destroy all of you!"Step by step, the sound of hooves echoed as zombie guards emerged from all directions of the city. The man drew his blade and yelled out a battle cry.***Simultaneously, Jerome, too, yelled a battle cry and his body burst out with light. His sword spun and rose into the air."It's begun!”"The battle has started. War Legate Dominus stands at the forefront, fighting against the Eight Hollows' combined attacks alone!"Everyone in Novemton went mad with excitement as they watched the scene unfold.Jerome raised his sword, its edge radiating with brilliance, and met the Eight Hollows in an intense battle. He managed

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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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.

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
