The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1539
Cian and the others started to panic.Adrian then said, "I don’t think we have to worry about that. As this place exists and he can't reach it, there must be something here that will allow us to retain our memories. Rozi just didn't find it the last time she was here. First, let's find out why this place exists.” He continued studying the drawings.Rozi already knew most of what the drawings meant now that her memories from her last visit over a thousand years ago had returned. After some time, Padraig asked, "What do the drawings say, sir? We can't understand any of it."After a brief pause, Adrain explained, "It depicts the Creator killing countless lives a long, long time ago, and how he destroyed entire regions with tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, typhoons, and even crustal movements. The more casualties there were, the more families were broken. The sky was filled with dark smoke, blotting out the sun that shone down on us tiny humans."Padraig and the others exchanged lo

Adrian continued, "The drawings also say that it was the immortals who were victorious. Young and brave immortals had almost succeeded in sealing him away, but he managed to escape after sustaining severe injuries. Later on, the Creator was too afraid to appear. Instead, he created monsters and sent them to our world to kill the remaining humans. These monsters were snake men, walking skeletons, and other strange-looking demons. They were all cold, mindless beings whose only purpose was to kill."The drawings were a story of the past."What happened after that, sir?" Cian asked. "One of the snake men saw a mother being brutally murdered while protecting her child. She had protected the child till her last breath. This touched the snake man and imbued him with emotions. He began to think about who he was, what was the purpose of his existence, and why was he murdering humans so mercilessly. Having gained emotions, the snake man joined the humans and fought against the Creator."Aft

Everyone was silent as they digested everything they had heard.After a while, Cian asked, "Do you think that snake man we saw back in the coffin was Wonder?"Rozi shook her head. "It's hard to tell. This drawing says Wonder disappeared after his blood became part of the Celestial Lake. His disappearance may have very well been his death, which means the body at the palace wasn't him.""There's even a chance that Wonder is still alive," Adrian added. Rozi gazed at Adrian and did not refute. This was because she, too, thought Wonder might still be alive. Regardless, he did not seem to have any plans of revealing himself at that moment."Even if he is, he won’t reveal himself so readily. A creature like him would easily be misunderstood by humans, and I'm sure he knows this very well. But Wonder doesn't want history to repeat itself, so he left behind all these messages for us to find a way to save ourselves."Adrian nodded. "That's why we've been brought here, where all of our me

Padraig suddenly cried out in shock, "Look, sir! There's a body over there!"The group followed Padraig's line of sight and spotted a body lying among the bushes. Its face wore a gruesome expression and blood covered its body.Adrian went up to the body and saw it had on clothes originating from Navia. The body riddled with bullet holes made the cause of death clear as day."It's Erwin! How did he end up dead here?" Cian exclaimed in shock."Erwin? Wasn’t he with Mr. Oliver?" Padraig asked.Cian and Padraig knew the body as Erwin Doyle, one of Cian's former companions. Cian’s group had lost contact with Oliver back in the palace, and Erwin had been with Oliver.Adrian got to his feet and looked around. "Oliver and the others got here too? They might be in trouble."Rozi was stunned, surprised that Oliver managed to lead his men to this despite being a mere engineer. Judging by the state of the body, Erwin had been dead for about two days. That meant Oliver and his group got he

Everyone was on high alert as they scanned their surroundings. Someone was hiding within the shadows, intending to kill them. Cian and Padraig held their breaths, thinking how their enemy may be aiming for a headshot. Feeling the great pressure, Cian asked, "Sir, we’ve been found. What should we do?"Though Adrian did not answer, he had already figured out the terrain they were in. This was thanks to his many years on the battlefield. There was only one place they could hide within the canyon, and of course, he had already figured out where the enemies were. Adrian gestured at Rozi. She followed his line of sight and, too, spotted their enemies before nodding back at him. "Cian, you guys stay low while Rozi and I go check it out.""Be careful, sir."Adrian nodded and headed for the center of the canyon with Rozi following him. He could sense multiple guns aimed at him, but they were too far away to get a good shot. Naturally, they would unleash hellfire the moment he and Rozi
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1544
Adrian and Rozi remained outside their firing range, and another hour passed. Three hours later, the enemies could no longer handle the pressure.A middle-aged man wearing a Rondom battle suit stood up and yelled, "War Legate Draco, I have your men captive. Get down here and surrender or I'll kill them all!”This man was the leader of his group. They had been lying in ambush, yet Adrian refused to enter their firing range. Having lost his patience, he started yelling angrily. Oliver and the other engineers were pulled to their feet with guns pointing toward their heads.It was true that the Rondoniers had captured Oliver’s group."Did you hear me? I asked you to step forward, or it’s their brains all over the ground!" the middle-aged man yelled. Adrian merely smiled and extended his right hand. Balls of light appeared in Adrian's hand, and the shimmering, golden Dragonbane appeared. After throwing the enemies off-guard, Adrian dashed toward the leader like a comet and stabbed at
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1545
Before Adrian could answer, Cian explained, "War Legate Draco entered the palace to search for us. We would’ve been dead a long time ago if not for him.”“We’re really sorry for all the trouble, sir.” Adrian nodded. "All right, now's not the time for this. We have to get to the Celestial Lake as soon as possible."Rozi turned around and gestured. "Follow me. There's a stairs up ahead that’ll lead us directly to the lake." She led them toward a corner of the canyon. Oliver said, "I never thought a place like this could ever exist. Those drawings on the walls and the pillars back at the palace, they were telling us a story."Adrian was astonished by Oliver's analytical skills. Oliver was no ordinary engineer. "Go ahead and tell me what you think," Adrian said. Oliver nodded. "Something happened in our world thousands of years ago. Humans waged a war against a terrifying and powerful existence. It caused more than half of our population to be wiped out. What surprised me is how n
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1546
Oliver asked, "Is that all true, sir? Does the Creator really exist?"Adrian replied, "It's still too early to say what the Creator is, but one thing is for certain. He can decide our fates and can bring catastrophe to our world. He's the one who caused the meteorites to fall on Isle 416, something that has affected our world for thousands of years. He's also the one who caused the disappearance of the Uduma Desert.“The Creator has had his eyes on us for the longest time, and the war depicted in the drawings may happen again. Which is why we have to be ready.”Everyone was shocked. They never expected there to be an existence that could control their lives. And this particular existence was capable of erasing their world whenever he wanted. Just the thought of this was terrifying. Rozi suddenly stopped in her tracks and said, "We're here. This is the Utopia Stairwell. Follow the stairs and we'll reach the top of the mountain where the Celestial Lake is located."Everyone stopped

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? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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. 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
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
