The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1637
The bird monster flapped its wings and flew higher and higher, leaving behind only a gust of wind. Rozi would not be able to reach it if it got any higher. Out of desperation, she sent her sword flying, cutting off the monster's legs. The monster screeched in pain and lost altitude very quickly. Helen was falling together with the monster, but Rozi managed to catch her mid-air. Helen’s team heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this, and Rozi soon returned to the top of the trailer with Helen in her arms. Helen's face was pale, still shocked by what just happened. "The sky isn't safe, so don't let your guard down just yet. We don't know when another one of those monsters might show up again," Rozi said.Everyone put up their guard, paying attention to enemies in the sky. Helen sat upright and looked at the scratches on her arm, courtesy of the monster's claws. Chrissy grabbed a first-aid kit and disinfected Helen's wound, while the others said silent prayers that nothing bad h

"That bird monster dropped this when I killed it. I also noticed this same stone embedded in all of the monsters. They’re probably being controlled through these stones," Rozi surmised. Barry took the stone, looking confused. "You mean the Creator's controlling the monsters through this? But how?"Adrian explained, "See the runes on this? He can control the monsters’ minds when the runes fuse with their bodies. I've known this fact for a while now, but I can't figure out where the monsters are coming from."Rozi looked crestfallen as though there was something she wanted to say.Adrian noticed and said, "So stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what you know. You’re the most knowledgeable among us, after all."Calmly, Rozi said, "He's not the one creating the monsters. They’ve long existed. He just planted these stones in them to gain control over them.""What do you mean?" Adrian frowned. "The monsters come from another world. They were captured and sent to ours. Simply put
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1639
Adrian's statement instantly brought about a glimmer of hope. The meteorites had been stored in various research laboratories in Novemton, each of them possessing incredible powers. If they could find out how the meteorites were similar to the stones they found, they may find a way to control the monsters. Once that was done, their chances of winning would increase greatly. Barry grinned and said, "The meteorites are stored in Novemton's research labs, but we don't know what's become of them now. We need to get there as quickly as we can, sir. We may just find the answers we need.”Adrian nodded. Novemton was the city with the most resources. Adrian needed to secure Novemton's defenses, form a specialized unit of scouts, and lead the survivors in battle. Novemton would become their strongest base. ***The convoy neared Novemton. When they were less than a hundred kilometers away, Adrian instructed, "Susan, use your signal enhancer and see if you can contact anyone inside. Let’s

Cheers of joy rang out."Yes! There are so many soldiers in Novemton!”"We'll be safe once we get there.""We're saved! We're saved!"Elayne looked at her students in excitement as she shed a tear. The children, too, could see a glimmer of hope and smiled. Some people were so excited that they cried and hugged one another upon finding sanctuary. The soldiers' presence brought about an unprecedented sense of security to them.Adrian asked, "Can you contact them, Susan? Try honing in on their signal and send out a message.""Hang on, I'm trying…" Susan tapped her keyboard to adjust the frequency, while Adrian and the others waited nervously. After about ten minutes, she beamed and said, "Got it! I'm contacting them now."Everyone held their breaths, waiting for someone from Novemton to reply.At this moment, more than a hundred personnel were seated inside the Department's administration hall in Novemton, sending out broadcasts to whoever was within their range. Suddenly, a mes

“On it!" Meanwhile, Steel was in a meeting with former members of Wyvern Peak in the conference room. He emphasized they needed to adhere to Wyvern Peak's culture, which was to never give up on any life, protect Novemton, and remain on standby for battle around the clock.Suddenly, a woman rushed into the conference room and excitedly shouted, "Sir! We just received a call from Sir Draco!""What?!" Steel shot to his feet.The others did the same, feeling a surge of excitement."He's alive?""Sir Draco's alive?""Are you sure?" Steel asked. "Yes, sir, it’s him. He'd like to have a word with you. You need to hurry!" Steel darted out of the conference room before the woman could even finish, the others quickly following behind him.When Steel arrived, Janice handed him the communicator and said, "Sir Draco's on the line."Steel took a deep breath. In a trembling voice, he asked, "Is that really you, sir?""It’s been a minute, Steel. It's so good to hear your voice again," A

Steel took a deep breath and said, "I want a thousand soldiers to open the city's entrance and defend it. We're going to welcome Sir Draco home.""Yes, sir!" ***Novemton's massively secure gates opened, and a total of a thousand fully armed soldiers stood on both sides of the entrance. Steel had ordered a hundred thousand men to build these gates and walls around the city, which was completed in a few days. These were the walls that protected everyone inside from the monsters. Since Steel was the one who ordered the walls to be built, the survivors call it the Wall of Steel. They looked to him as their leader, and he protected them ardently. Steel and a few others stood atop the wall and spotted a convoy in the distance. He recognized it as Adrian's convoy. "Sir Draco's convoy has arrived," Hugh said, Crystal's former subordinate and closest confidant. After she disappeared, Hugh came under Steel's command and began doing his best to protect everyone in Novemton. The survivo

"Sir Draco!" someone yelled out.The civilians began waving in greeting as they cheered."Welcome home, sir!"Hooray for Wyvern Peak!”"All hail Navia!”"Sir Draco’s back!" Adrian was touched as he gazed at the excited crowd, while Helen and her sisters shed tears. They knew the civilians could finally see the light at the end of a very, very dark tunnel. "All hail Wyvern Peak!"All hail Sir Draco!" The civilians then got on their knees."Please save us, sir!""Please save us!" They saw Adrian as their last hope. After all, he was a man who had been through countless battles. They desperately hoped he would lead them to a new home. The city gates closed after all of the vehicles had entered. Standing before everyone, Adrian called out, "Everyone, please stand and let me tell you all what is happening.”"Thank you, sir." A little boy tugged at his mother's clothes, looking confused as he asked, "Mommy, who's that? He looks so cool. Why were we kneeling to him?"

Adrian gazed at the silent crowd and said, "According to my instructor, the meaning of life is to stay alive. That's right. I'm going to tell you all the same thing today. The meaning of life is to stay alive.""Stay alive…""Stay alive.""Stay alive!" Everyone raised their fist and chanted, their motivations and desire to live ignited. They wanted to live their lives with dignity. When the chanting died down, Adrian continued, "Why is the meaning of life is to stay alive? That's because only by staying alive will we have hope and a future. Not only should we stay alive, but we should also live our lives with dignity. Nobody in the world can take away our right to live. We each have our worth.“Regardless of who it is, anyone who tries to take away our right to live is our enemy. And what do we do to our enemies? I want you all to answer me at the top of your lungs!"The crowd answered, "We team up and defeat them!" Hearing their answer, Adrian smiled. "That's right. We team

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
