Ivy drove the truck down the main road of the passage. They arrived at the exit approximately twenty minutes later. It was sealed by a massive iron gate, blocking their way out of Swallowston. This was the very gate that prevented the monsters from entering.The vehicle stopped at a safe distance from the gate, and Adrian got off the top of the truck. He then gestured to Ivy and said, "I'll blast the gate open. Once that's done, I want you to charge out without stopping for anything. We're going to be faced with a lot of monsters after the gate. Don't worry, I'll catch up." Ivy nodded, showing complete trust in Adrian's plan.***Kaboom!The heavy iron gate exploded as a powerful blast shattered it, leaving a gaping hole. Adrian had calculated the explosives he needed to ensure that the gate was instantly blown open."Go!"Monsters were already pouring in through the hole created by the explosion. The truck's engine roared as Ivy accelerated, driving out of the exit. The mons

Ivy brought the truck to a stop, her attention drawn to the gold-furred dog. It trembled as it hid in the bushes."Eira, go get the dog," Ivy instructed after making sure the area was safe.Eira got down and approached the dog. Sensing human presence, the dog was both scared and eager for contact. She crouched before the dog and extended her hand. "You must be so scared. It's okay, I'm not a bad person. You're not safe here, so you need to come with me.”Seeming to understand Eira, the dog came out from the bushes. Eira gently patted its head and lifted up the large dog, who responded by licking her face in gratitude, expressing its loyalty.Eira chuckled and cradled the dog as she climbed back into the truck. After that, Ivy resumed driving."So what's the plan, Adrian? We should reach Novemton tomorrow if it all goes well, but I think we're running low on food," Ivy asked."There are two rest stops about twenty kilometers ahead. They're far away from civilization, so there shou

The rest area, being in a remote location, did not house a large number of monsters. Therefore, Adrian did not attract too much attention from the nearby straggling monsters. Some wandering creatures began to approach after hearing the commotion, but Adrian quickly dispatched them using Dragonbane. He was not an immortal yet, but Dragonbane was more than sufficient to deal with those monstersIn less than ten minutes, Adrian had eliminated the monsters around the area and headed into the mart. He was pleased to find that there were still some supplies on the shelves. While the store had suffered some damage, a significant portion of the supplies remained intact, including many food items.Adrian smiled at the sight, happy that his group had enough supplies to travel to Novemton. He pulled out a bag he had brought from the truck and began to fill it with the supplies. Since he could not take everything, he focused on collecting food and water, along with a few other useful items.A

Phillip said, "I am, but my mother's hungry. I can't live without her.""How did you evade all the monsters?""I come here at night when they can't see me."Phillip's determination moved Adrian. He was at an age where he should be pampered by his mother, yet he was protecting her instead.Taking a deep breath, Adrian said, "Take me to your mother. I’ll get both of you out of this place. I've got several others with me in a truck. We have medical supplies, so we can treat your mother.”Phillip nodded in agreement and held Adrian's hand as they hurried to the gas station.Right at that moment, the truck in the distance honked repeatedly, signaling to Adrian there was a large number of monsters approaching. Ignoring the warning, Adrian and Phillip entered the gas station, where they found the young boy's mother.The woman in her early thirties was curled up inside a container. Her legs were torn open, exposing the bones underneath and the wounds crusted with dried blood. The horrif

Adrian clenched his fists as he looked at the monsters. The small Philip tried his best to remain calm.Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out as Nyssa and Eira engaged the approaching monsters. The thousands of monsters split into two groups, one charging toward the truck, and the other heading toward Adrian."Phil!" Adrian turned his head toward the boy whose gaze remained unwavering despite the approaching threat.Phillip looked back at Adrian with determination as the latter instructed, "Phil, you're now a young man capable enough to protect your mother. Do you see that truck over there?"Phillip nodded. "I see it.""Good. Now, I need you to take your mother to that truck. The ladies inside will help you. Remember, stay strong. You're your mother's last hope.""What about you?" Phillip asked.Adrian patted Phillip's shoulder reassuringly. "I'll stay behind to cover for you. Just focus on getting your mother onto the truck. I'll be right behind you. Can you be brave, especiall

Adrian cleared the path, making it difficult for the monsters on both sides to harm Phillip. The boy was now halfway there. Just a little more and he would reach the truck.However, his mother ultimately proved too heavy for him and he fell to the ground. He tried to get up several times, but it was impossible for a fourteen-year-old boy to handle a fifty-kilogram load on his back."L-Leave me, Phil. Just go…" Winry, having regained consciousness, said weakly.Phillip shed tears and cried, "I won't leave you, Mom. I'll get you out of here and get you the treatment you need.""Y-You silly boy. I-I'm only holding you back. Just put me down." Winry did not want to be a hindrance to her son. Her only hope was to see Phillip survive.Women may seem fragile, but they were incredibly strong whenever it came to their children. In this case, Winry was as strong a mother as Samantha.Phillip refused to put his mother down and kept trying to get up. He attempted to do so several times but

The truck's doors were open, and Nyssa helped the mother and son inside. From a distance, Adrian saw the boy and his mother getting onto the truck safely and yelled, "Get out of here and head to a safe place up ahead!" "Hold on tight, everyone!” Ivy said as she crawled through the truck window and started the roaring engine.The truck bumped into a few monsters as it sped down the road. Countless monsters chased after it, but they could not match the truck's speed. Ivy skillfully drove the truck out of the encirclement of monsters. Meanwhile, the number of monsters in the rest area continued to grow, and Adrian was surrounded. However, the women had no other choice but to focus on escaping.Twenty minutes later, the truck had driven a considerable distance. Ivy finally stopped when she saw no more monsters around the area. Sighing in relief, she said, "We should be safe for now.” She then instructed, “Eira, you've studied medicine. I need you to treat the boy's mother while Nyssa

"I've given her antibiotics, disinfected her wounds, and stitched her up. She should be fine once her fever subsides. Fortunately, the monsters didn't damage any of her major arteries. Otherwise, she would need a blood transfusion," Eira reported.Adrian observed Winry silently, who stirred and thanked them weakly, "Thank you for saving me and Phil. I'm really grateful."Eira smiled and turned to Gloria and Jane. "Can I leave her in your care? I'm going to head up to the roof and keep watch."Gloria and Jane nodded, and Eira exited the trailer.Adrian said, "Get some rest, Winry. You're safe here, and we're going to take you and your son to Novemton. There are defensive walls around the city, and there are many there who can protect us.""That’s great," Winry replied softly as she reached out and stroked Phillip's hair. She urged him, "You should thank them for everything they've done for us, Phil.""Thank you, everyone," Phillip said tearfully.Adrian reached out and patted Phi

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
