Samantha clutched Nova in her arms and left with the others. There was only one thing that kept her going—finding a place to hide while waiting for Adrian to save them.Monsters lurked throughout the streets. Eira, Ivy, and Nyssa surrounded Samantha and Nova, guiding them past the monsters."We should get out of Swallowston and find somewhere safe outside the city to hide. But on second thought, Adrian won’t be able to find us when he gets back to Swallowston, so I've decided against it and chose to remain here. Let's hope we'll hear from him soon," Ivy said as she looked toward the surroundings. Without a doubt, Ivy was now their leader. She was a powerful fighter with Eira and Nyssa obeying her every command. Without her, Samantha and Nova would be bullied by wicked people in the safe zone, if not killed by the monsters. Adrian's past grace had proven extremely crucial for their current survival, and Samantha chose to follow Ivy without a doubt. Gloria was no longer the same wo

Matthias wolfed down his bread and wiped his mouth. "I'm almost done, sir. Give me another hour and we the communicators should be ready. However, the signal range is limited at the moment. It’s no longer than twelve kilometers.""That's good enough. We'll need to send in our men to scout our areas, and it’s dangerous to go in blind."Matthias nodded. "I'll have them ready as soon as possible.""Good.”Oliver walked over and handed Adrian a slab of meat that some engineers had bought from a supermarket and left it at the base for good. However, Adrian took a packet of compressed biscuits and said, "Distribute the meat to everyone. Make sure that our rations are distributed fairly so that nobody is discontent.”Food was precious to everyone at the moment, and it would only become even more scarce in the future. They were all eating leftovers and emergency rations, and there was little hope of finding more food from the land at the moment. If their rations ran out, everyone would be

Adrian said as he got to his feet, "Well done, Matthias. Please distribute the communicators to everyone and decide on a channel for us to use. We’ll depart after you're done."Matthias nodded and handed out the communicators.Adrian climbed atop a trailer to look at the nearby village.Cian appeared beside him and asked, "Is something wrong, sir?" Adrian pointed up ahead and said, "That’s Cloud Village. Pass through there and we'll reach Gold Haven, and then Rivton shortly after. We have to be cautious as we move through the village. There may be traps."Cian nodded. "Do you think the villagers would want to hurt us in such a situation?""You can’t let your guard down, Cian. Kindness is a virtue, but we have to be careful of who we choose to be kind to. This is especially true in situations like these. We can’t show others how kind we are, or have you forgotten what many did when Chase Gardner started that bout of rumors?"With half the world's population gone, Adrian was cert

The village that laid ahead of them was Cloud Village.Cian took a deep breath. "Sir, we're almost there. Should we continue on?"Adrian looked at the forest up front. Starved of sunlight, the leaves on the trees were yellowing and falling after. If this went on for longer, the trees would surely die. "It's too quiet up ahead, and I believe those are monster carcasses around the village. I’ll have the combatants get on top of their trailers and stay alert.""Yes, sir."The six trailers responded to Adrian's instructions. As they cautiously entered the forest, they caught a whiff of a foul stench. Rozi said through her communicator, "There are bodies in the forest, human bodies.""Stop," Adrian commanded, and the trailers came to a halt. "I'm going down to take a look. Watch our surroundings." He jumped down from his trailer and followed the stench.Adrian came across dozens of bodies on the ground. In their decayed state, they emitted the foulest of stench. Several suitcases

The trailers stopped at the village borders, and everyone formed a defensive line around their trailers upon getting out.Adrian walked into the village, with Cian following behind him. "Send ten men into the village and search for survivors. They should look out for resources like food, water, weapons, etc. After twenty minutes, they are to return, and I want them all to be on the alert while searching. Everyone else shall remain by their trailers in case we get jumped," Adrian ordered. Cian began making the arrangements. A team of men entered the village, going through every house in search of survivors. Aside from heading to Novemton, Adrian also wanted to save the survivors he found along the way. Rozi stayed behind with the others at the trailers. Since she and Adrian were the strongest fighters in the group, it was best they defended separate positions instead of sticking together. Monster carcasses were scattered all over and many houses had been destroyed. There were b

Either whatever she was protecting had been taken away or was still hiding inside the house somewhere. Adrian was unable to determine what happened as the house was a complete mess."Is anyone here?" Adrian softly asked, only to be greeted by silence."Sir, I doubt there's anyone left here," a young man next to Adrian said.Adrian gestured for him to remain silent. The young man shut his mouth, while Adrian stood there paying attention to even the slightest noise. Sure enough, he could hear someone breathing. He was positive there was someone in the house.Following the sound, Adrian got down on his knees. Running his fingers along the floor, he found a slit in the floorboards wide enough for his fingers to slip through and pull them up. Lo and behold, he found a nine-year-old little girl balled up underneath the boards.The child was hiding in a hole that had been dug up out of desperation. It was just barely big enough for her to fit inside. The girl's mother quickly closed the

Adrian carried Miraya out of the house, while Cian and the others searched the rest of the village. Unfortunately, there were no other survivors, nor were there any resources. However, they were all happy when they saw Miraya. To them, it was a miracle to find even one survivor."Sir, we've searched the whole village," Cian said as he and Oliver walked over.Adrian placed Miraya on the floor and said, "Rozi, take care of her and give her some food."Rozi was the only woman in Adrian's group, and Miraya looked a lot less wary when she saw her. The little girl felt as though she was looking at her mother when she saw Rozi's beautiful smile.After Rozi brought Miraya into her trailer, Adrian asked, "How did it go? Did you find anything else?"Oliver shook his head. "Everything has been taken. There are corpses in some of the houses. They were shot to death. There are also signs of monster damage. It’s clear the village engaged the monsters in battle. After that, some people began to

Rozi quickly held Miraya in her arms and softly said, "It's okay. I'm here."Miraya calmed down a little, feeling safer now that she was in Rozi's embrace. After a moment, she said in a hoarse voice, "Many villagers disappeared, including my papa. We were playing, and suddenly… I don't know what happened. Many monsters showed up afterward and killed many of the villagers. Mommy was really scared and dug a hole for me to hide in.""What happened after that?" Rozi asked. "The men in the village went to kill the monsters, but they were injured. They managed to kill the monsters, but another group of men with guns came and killed them. Mommy told me to hide in the hole. The bad men killed her." This incident had become a trauma Miraya would never forget. Adrian felt his anger rising after hearing her story. He controlled it and patted Miraya's head. "I promise I’ll make the people who hurt your mother pay."Miraya did not know who Adrian was nor what he wanted to do. However, she

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

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
