Chapter 1374

Author: Celestial Clouds
"The legate wants us to take over Dragon Peak so that the Eight Hollows will have zero chance of retreating?"

Remy nodded. "Correct. His instructions in the letter were very clear. We have to avoid detection during our journey there, which leaves the snowy mountains as our only route into the place."

"Putting aside whether or not we can enter Dragon Peak unnoticed, cutting off the Eight Hollows' retreat will only cause them to launch an all-out attack against our natural moat. When that happens, the situation may escalate and spiral out of control. Even if we do take over Dragon Peak, we can’t defend the place, rendering it useless to our cause.” Mash's tone was firm as he spoke.

Remy replied, "War Legate Dominus has a plan in mind. All we have to do is obey his commands. We can't bring too many people with us, so we'll only be taking five hundred. Right now, Dragon Peak isn't heavily defended, so we'll take it down the moment the legate tells us to."

"Still, why are we doing this?

    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

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.
