She missed Adrian terribly, to the point of madness even. Gloria smiled. "Don't worry. Adrian wouldn’t abandon us. Maybe he's figuring out how to rescue us right now. He'll find a way to locate us. Maybe he already established a wireless connection and is waiting for us to contact him.""I hope—"Bam! A sudden, violent pounding on the doors of the entrance interrupted Samantha mid-sentence. The doorframe shook, nearing the brink of collapse, startling Samantha and Gloria.Gloria placed her finger on her lips, and Samantha covered Nova's mouth."Nova's crying must have attracted the monsters.”Bam! Bam! Bam! More banging was heard.A menacing-looking monster over three meters tall stood outside the entrance. It had a massive body and wielded a large hammer, which it rammed against the doors. With each hit, Nova became more frightened and her cries grew louder."Nova, please stop crying! Please, I beg you!" Samantha pleaded in panic.However, Nova was too young to understan

"What do we do?!”Chaos descended over the supermarket as the monsters stormed in. Samantha clutched onto Nova, panicking and losing her ability to make rational decisions. Gloria, too, showed unprecedented panic at this moment. For a moment, the two women did not know what to do. They could neither escape nor fight the monsters.Just as things were on the brink of disaster, one of the windows to the supermarket shattered. Nyssa, fully armed, leaped through the window, as the sounds of an explosion came from outside. Ivy and Eira had attracted the monsters' attention and were firing at them from outside."Move it!" Nyssa shouted at Samantha and Gloria as she rushed into the supermarket, slashing down a monster.Nyssa covered them as Samantha, holding onto Nova, and Gloria ran toward the window. They climbed out the window and fled the supermarket."Let's go, girls!" Nyssa shouted to Ivy and Eira after Samantha and Gloria had gotten out."Okay!" Ivy and Eira quickly retreated upon

Nyssa's clothes were soaked with blood. She was bleeding profusely from an injury on her neck. She had been hit by shrapnel during the explosion. She covered her wound with one hand, wincing in pain. "I'm okay, it's nothing. Are you and Nova okay, Sam?"Samantha shook her head, feeling helpless. If Nyssa and the others had not protected her over the past few days, Samantha and Nova would undoubtedly have been long dead in some corner.She replied, "I don't know what to say… Nova and I would be long dead if not for your help, girls."Eira smiled and began to bandage Nyssa's wound. Ivy said, "Don't mention it, Sam. Who else will protect you if not us? We promised that we’d protect you no matter what."Eira added, "We just went to the center of Swallowston. The place is completely overrun by monsters, and there's a battle going on between some groups for resources. Many people have died. Several shelters have also been wiped out. The whole city has fallen. There are hardly any sup

"We got something!" Hearing the voice coming from the communicator, the women broke into smiles of relief. Although the signal was weak and distorted, it was audible.Ivy quickly responded, "Hello, this is Ivy Cox. I'm with Samantha Cowell, wife of the former legate, Sir Draco. We're at the Amber Communal in Swallowston and are in need of help."Hello? Do you copy?"Hello? Hello?"Ivy repeated herself into the communicator but only static came from the other end. The signal was clearly unstable. She anxiously said, "It's no good. The signal is terrible from her. We need to find somewhere that we can get a better signal."Eira replied, "We can't go out. The monsters have surrounded the building.""Damn it!" Nyssa cursed.Ivy slapped the radio receiver, and suddenly, another voice came through the static."Hello, is anyone there? This is..."The communication was still fragmented.Ivy anxiously responded, "Hello, this is Ivy Cox. I'm with Samantha Cowell, wife of the former l

In the former headquarters of the Battle Warrior Department of Drogoton, dozens of people bustled about in the control room. They were tirelessly tuning their wireless signals to try and contact nearby survivors. Remy was the head of this operation.He led five hundred and sixty thousand men who survived the reset to take over Drogoton. After that, he quickly built a wall around the city and helped the survivors settle in. At that moment, Drogoton's defenses had taken shape. Having recently restored communication, Remy immediately instructed his people to continuously send out a wireless broadcast to try and locate more survivors."Ms. Gracia, we got a signal, but there's too much static in the background. We can’t really hear what they're saying," a woman reported.A tall woman walked over. She was Gracia, Gloria's younger sister. She was the department head responsible for communications. She had survived the reset and was saved by Remy's team. She had since assisted him in fortif
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1663
"Yes, sir!" All the operators sprang into action, expanding Drogoton's signal. They managed to capture a clear radio signal from Novemton. As Remy walked over, the screen display fluctuated. He was full of anticipation, hoping a response would come through.Zzt, zzt, zzt…The transmitters continued to buzz, but the other side had yet to respond.Meanwhile, the signal tower at Novemton had received an incoming frequency, and the two signals had synchronized. Novemton's recently established communication headquarters was bustling with activity. Communication had just been restored, and there was much work to be done.Adrian had ordered Cian to select individuals knowledgeable in wireless communication from within the city and create a communications department. Matthias was named as head of the department.Matthias led a group of highly skilled individuals as well as young people with prior experience in network communication. They were continuously fine-tuning the network system
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1664
“This is fantastic news!" Matthias exclaimed, "We've found ourselves another powerful ally!"Everyone on Matthias' side cheered as he responded, "Sir, my name is Matthias Otto. I'm working for Sir Draco. We're currently stationed in Novemton and have just established our network tower. We're all safe for the moment.""Sir Draco is alive?"Remy's side was also thrilled. Gracia, in particular, looked close to tears. She snatched the communicator from Remy and asked, "Matthias, did you say Adrian's with you? Where is he now? I need you to get him on the line. Swallowston is in trouble!""I'll notify Sir Draco immediately." Matthias became worried upon hearing the urgency in Gracia's voice. He immediately instructed, "Get Sir Draco now."Meanwhile, Adrian was standing atop the wall with Rozi, observing as the flamethrowers were installed on the wall. That was when a call came through his communicator."Sir, we've made contact with Godking Wyrmflare in Drogoton. He just informed us th

Adrian's words ignited the glimmer of hope in Remy's heart. There was a chance to restore everything back to the way it was. Remy took a deep breath and calmly responded, "Understood. I'll be waiting for the day we meet again, sir. In the meantime, I'll lead the people of Drogoton and push forward."Adrian nodded emphatically. "You're no longer a child, Remy. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Never be afraid and unleash your true potential. You have to believe that as long as there's hope in your heart, you’ll have endless potential."Through hope, one would be able to unlock their inner potential.Remy could not remember how many times Adrian had told him these very words. Adrian had always taught him to be a good soldier and a good human being. Now, Adrian was teaching him how to remain hopeful.With a composed expression, Remy etched every single word Adrian had just told him deep into his heart. "I won't disappoint you, sir.""I believe in you, Remy,

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
