"Where are the others?" Adrian asked."We're the only ones left. Everyone else disappeared," Ivy replied."Adrian… Mya, Ada, Jojo, Juno and Mother… They're all gone," Samantha added.Adrian nodded and said, "Don't worry. There’s a chance for them to return. What we need to focus on right now is resolving our current situation.” He then looked to Gloria, “By the way, Gracia's alive. She's currently in Drogoton with Remy.”"Really?!" Gloria's face lit up with joy."Yes, she was the one who contacted me and told me about your distress signal. It's thanks to her that I knew I needed to come here. I thought this place would be in better shape…" Adrian said with a hint of frustration.The women breathed a sigh of relief.Nyssa then curiously asked, "Are you all in November right now? What's happening to the world? Why did so many people suddenly disappear?"Adrian reached out and stroked Nyssa's long hair, saying, "We'll talk more along the way back. The world is currently in chaos,
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1681
Nova's sudden change made Adrian realize that the world had undergone a transformative shift, and it went beyond what everyone had imagined. There might be many other changes, just like Nova's transformation.Everything they knew had changed after the world was reset. There were maybe some things that had evolved in ways that not even the Creator could control. For example, immortals were becoming more common.Adrian instructed, "Gracia, observe the infants and see if they go through any changes. I think what's happening to the world may be affecting human evolution."Gracia, though surprised by Adrian's request, recognized the validity of his concerns. As the world underwent changes, human genetics might have been influenced, leading to evolution heading in a different direction. "Understood. I'll contact you if I notice anything."After ending the communication, Adrian looked at Nova and thought of the changes that were in play, albeit unnoticed."What did you mean by that, Ad
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1682
The reset was apocalyptic, but it also brought hope, and it was this hope that Adiran was speculating over.Gloria wondered, "Now that the world has been reset, do you think many immortals will emerge among us? Can we assume the reset cost him a tremendous amount of power, and in doing so, he unleashed a ton of aura essences into our world? Is it possible the excess aura essences can't be dispersed, and our bodies will continuously change upon absorbing them? Does this mean we'll eventually become like Nova?"Everything seemed to point toward there being aura essences left behind throughout the world after the Creator reset it.Adrian nodded. "You're right. I'm beginning to think the same as well. However, we shouldn't get too hopeful just yet. If the same thing happened during the last reset, he's probably going to try and collect the excess aura essences this time. After all, nobody wants to repeat the same mistake twice."The Creator was not human, so his thought process was ine

Samantha, Gloria, Eira, and Nyssa got up and gathered around too. They saw the situation and knew it would not be easy for them to get out of the city. The number of monsters within Swallowston was endless, and even more were converging from outside the city. Swallowston had fallen, and there was no going back to the way things used to be."Adrian, have you noticed the monsters seem to have a leader? They’re following someone's orders," Ivy said."You're right, they are being controlled. They have a stone inside their heads, and it's the runes on the stones that control their movements. Their purpose is to kill all humans. More precisely, all living beings," Adrian answered.Samantha asked worriedly, "How are we supposed to get out of here? There are so many monsters around. It’s impossible to deal with them with just us." She did not wish to stay any longer. She was hell-bent on leaving Swallowston and finding a safe haven for Nova.Adrian did not respond immediately. Instead, h

"We can't waste any more time here. We don’t have many supplies left, and getting to Novemton will only become more difficult with every passing second," Eira said concernedly.Although Adrian now had a plan, it was still a difficult feat to get to the SK Group. Ivy said, "Let's figure out how we can get there together."The group began brainstorming ideas, but they could not come up with a plan to reach the building without encountering the overwhelming number of monsters.Adrian then said, "There’s only one way of getting there without having to worry about the monsters. After all, it'll be impossible for us to defeat that many monsters.""What's your plan?" Samantha asked."Tell us, Adrian," Nyssa chimed in eagerly.Adrian retrieved a bundle of rope from his bag, one end of which was attached to a claw hook. Susan had prepared this before he departed for Swallowston."We'll find a suitable spot and swing this rope across. Although the monsters are formidable, they have a ha
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1685
Ivy nodded in acknowledgment of her orders. High-intensity situations like these were second nature to her, especially after her days in Bloody Rose. She grasped the rope and swung her way across without hesitation.Along the way, the bird monsters in the sky locked onto her and swooped down. Adrian raised his gun and landed headshots on the monsters. As the creatures fell out of the sky, Ivy successfully reached the other side and broke through the windows into an office. Judging by the dust that covered everything, it seemed likely that the previous occupants had been reset.Ivy surveyed her surroundings, then went over to retrieve the rope, which she threw back to the other side. After Adrian caught the rope, Ivy gestured "OK” before assuming a defensive position, keeping a close watch on her surroundings."Nyssa." Adrian signaled.Without hesitation, Nyssa grabbed the rope and swung over. Adrian took out the aerial threats, and Nyssa successfully reached the other side. She en
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1686
With no more suitable places to use the rope, the group had to get to the building on foot. Adrian assessed the situation, then said, "Ivy, do you see that production workshop over there? The entrance to the secret passage is inside that workshop, so we need to get in there. The good news is that there are many weapons in the passage.""How do we get in?" Ivy asked, looking anxiously at the monsters in the building's courtyard.Adrian said, "Ivy, there aren't too many monsters, so we can make a run for it. The quicker the better. I'll lure the monsters away while you take the group to the passage. Remember, once you're inside, I need you all to keep moving and don't look back. There are explosives in my bag, so feel free to blast open the passage door if you need to." He handed his bag to her."Be careful," Ivy warned."Don't do anything reckless," Gloria added.Adrian nodded, then jumped off the rooftop and charged toward the SK Group.Bang! Bang! Bang!Adrian's gunshots echo
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1687
Everything was happening too quickly. The monsters Adrian had lured away were now turning their attention toward Ivy and the others.Meanwhile, the trapped woman screamed, "Help me! Please, help me!" Desperation filled her voice.The hope of survival drove the woman to near madness, and she screamed at the top of her lungs. Her cries attracted the attention of a few monsters on the bottom floor, and several of them began heading upstairs. Ivy and her group could not afford to divert their attention despite the woman's pleas. There was no time for hesitation, and Ivy's sole focus was to get Samantha and the others to the workshop. Not encountering any obstacles along the way, the women reached the workshop that Adrian had mentioned within a few minutes. Seeing this, Adrian stopped trying to lure the monsters out and headed back into the building.Crash! Boom! Thud!Upon summoning Dragonbane, Adrian launched a flurry of strikes that sent a series of monsters flying. He plowed t

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
