They were on high alert after a recent battle against Sylvester. Seeing their reaction, Adrian said, "Calm down. I'm not one of Sylvester's. Where's Barry? I'd like to see him. Could you take me to him, please?"The four guards exchanged looks. "You want to see Barry?" one of them asked. Adrian nodded. "That's right. Will you take me to him?" “Where did you come from? Why would you want to see Barry? Are you here to assassinate him?" "I don’t have any weapons on me, so how am I supposed to assassinate him? Also, why should I risk my life for someone like Sylvester?" Adrian knew they suspected Sylvester had sent him. One of the guards waved, sending two of them to frisk Adrian.Realizing Adrian was telling the truth, the leader of the four said, "Fine, I’ll take you to him, but don’t try anything stupid. I'll shoot you down if I find you're up to something." He looked at the other three and said, "Continue to patrol the area. I'll take him to Barry.” He gestured at Adrian. “

Barry lowered his head and stared at his hands. "A little over a week ago, I was on vacation in my hometown when it happened. Monsters started appearing everywhere. I was at the supermarket with my parents that day for groceries when the monsters stormed in. I couldn't save them, and that's also when I lost my arm."Barry was from Cloudton and that his mother's greatest hope was to see him put on Wyvern Peak’s battlesuit as a hero. Barry's mother had been ill and he had chosen to serve Adrian for her sake.Adrian asked, "Your parents were killed by the monsters?"Barry nodded. "Yes, I saw them being dragged away. I couldn't save them. I..." He broke down in tears once again.Adrian took a deep breath and said, "Wipe your tears. Be strong. Everything already happened, so you can’t escape reality. Instead, you should face it bravely. Now isn't the time to cry.”Barry wiped away his tears. "The situation was dire at the time, so I formed a group of my own and grabbed some weapons fro

Barry also had three former soldiers of Wyvern Peak on his side. They were why Sylvester had failed to take out Barry's group.There were over eight thousand three hundred people throughout Cloudton—three thousand if the women, elderly, and children were excluded. These people formed a rather powerful group. At the very least, they were of great use during a siege. ***A little while later, Adrian got the gist of the situation in Cloudton. Meanwhile, Rozi brought their group of survivors into the city while Helen and the others freed Sylverster's prisoners.Two hours later, everyone from the east and west sides of the city gathered at the city square. Adrian led Barry, Helen, and the others onto the stage, and the crowd silently watched him. The youngsters in the crowd were stunned when they recognized the man standing on the stage. "Over there… Isn't that War Legate Draco from Wyvern Peak?""It’s really him!""He's here!" Many had seen Adrian before, so they were no strange
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1627
Adrian gritted his teeth as he spat out that last sentence.Everyone looked up toward the sky. Did this Destroyer actually exist? Everything that had happened so far seemed unreal, and the crowd was still confused as to why any of this was happening. What went through their minds now that they were being told everything was caused by the Destroyer? "What should we do now, sir? Is there still hope for us?" someone asked in a trembling voice.The others nodded at his question, quietly waiting for Adrian to reply. "All I can say is that we still have a chance if we work together. Also, there's a chance for the people who vanished during the reset to return.""They can come back?" someone excitedly asked. "Yes, they might. However, the ones who died by other means will not come back. Life is very important, so we should all strive to survive. Only by working together will we have a chance at defeating the Destroyer and rebuilding our home."Adrian's voice echoed throughout the sq

Rozi jumped from a tall building in the distance and shouted, "Adrian, we've got a problem! Monsters have appeared around the city and will be here in about an hour. A monster attack is about to begin!"The crowd panicked when they heard this. "What? The monsters are back?!" "F*ck! Where the hell are they spawning from? How are there so many of them?""We've just gone through one siege. I don't want to go through another."Fear began to overwhelm the crowd. They felt as though the monsters were spawning endlessly, and they were launching attack after attack on Cloudton with no fear of death. These people had already experienced how terrifying the monsters were. "Calm down, everyone," Helen said as she jumped off her vehicle when she saw the crowd growing uneasy.Everyone fell silent as they looked at Helen, who was wielding a gun.She continued, "What's there to be afraid of when there are so many of us to help each other? We all share the same fate now, and we'll fight thos
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1629
Those excluded were the old and the weak.Adrian replied, "Starting from this moment, you're all soldiers. We're going to fight back this wave of monsters. After they’re defeated, we're going to retreat from Cloudton as quickly as we can to Novemton. The walls there are stronger, and that is where we will take shelter. On top of that, Wyvern Peak’s elite soldiers will be there. "What we have to do now is fight off this incoming wave so that we can reach Novemton. I will fight by your side. This is my first time leading you all as comrade-in-arms, and I am deeply honored to do so."The crowd broke into a round of applause as their fighting spirits soared.Adrian continued, "I've come up with a strategy customized for us. I want you all to do your best when we fight, work together with your comrades, and believe in them. I won't say too much since we don’t have the time, so I want you all to remember every single word I'm about to say."Everyone fell silent, not daring to behave re

“Once we’re out of the city, Barry will detonate the explosives, and we’ll head to Novemton." Adrian arranged a series of tasks with only one focus in mind. The entire group was made up of civilians with little combat abilities, making them unfit to defend Cloudton. Hence, he arranged for a convoy so that they could ultimately ram the monsters down with the trailers as they made their retreat. He rigged the place with explosives so that he could take the monsters down when the city blew up. By the time the convoy was ready and the explosives were set, Adrian and the survivors would have left Cloudton, which would be their greatest victory. ***Over the next half an hour, everyone was given a weapon, some grenades, and a quick tutorial on how to use them. After that, Adrian assigned everyone into smaller groups, each with their own battle strategy. Everyone ran toward the outermost parts of the city and took the high ground wherever possible. Their mission was to relentlessly unl

"Open fire!" Adrian shouted."Open fire!""Open fire!" Guns blazed as a hail of bullets was launched toward the monsters coming from all sides. The army of monsters was so dense that the survivors could only see a sea of darkness in front of them.The bird monsters were now within sight, and Rozi swung her sword to cut off one of their heads. Helen's snipers were in hiding as they searched for giant monsters that were ten meters tall among the swarm.As she narrowed her eyes, Chrissy pulled the trigger of her gun, and the bullet landed directly at a grim's head. The monster collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.Padraig led his team in search of vehicles, while Barry and the women rigged the city with explosives. Oliver and the rest searched for resources to fill up their trailers with. Everyone was working to the best of their capabilities, not daring to waste even a second. Gunshots went off relentlessly as the first wave of monsters was defeated. However, the monsters

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

"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
