The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1721
Adrian slammed the brakes and swiftly exited the car.Nadine was beginning to lose consciousness and control over her legs due to starvation and exhaustion. Only her subconsciousness pushed her forward, keeping her from falling.The monsters behind her were in hot pursuit, but she was too exhausted to continue running. A monster’s claw was about to hit her when a golden light flashed before her eyes. Immediately after, a sword swooshed past her hair, narrowly missing her shoulder.The sword severed the monster’s arm, leaving it screaming in agony.Unable to muster any strength, Nadine collapsed just as Adrian arrived. He delivered a mighty punch to the monster that snapped its neck. The now lifeless monster fell to the ground, but the commotion attracted other nearby monsters. After retrieving Dragonbane from the ground, Adrian unleashed several sword strikes that decimated the remaining monsters before picking Nadine up and returning to the car."Take care of her," he instructe

Adrian retrieved some food and said, "Eat."Nadine heard someone talking to her but had no energy to respond.Rozi said, "She's in horrible shape. She must be exhausted.”Adrian noticed Nadine's heartbeat slowing down. He placed her back on the car seat and performed CPR. Each compression pumped Nadine’s heart, but what she needed most at that moment was food.“We have to get some food in her. That’s the only way she’ll recover,” Rozi urged.Adrian did not hesitate to chew on some food and feed it to Nadine, who devoured the food and spit mix. Adrian repeated the process several times while also feeding her some water. Nadine's heart rate slowly improved as the food in her stomach converted into energy that nourished her body.Adrian checked the time and said, “It’s getting late. We won’t reach Vanglesville before nightfall, so let's rest here and set off early tomorrow morning.""Is it because you don't want her to suffer? Is she someone important to you?" Rozi inquired.Adria

Nadine felt all her hardships had been worth it as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She was ecstatic, even though she was in disbelief that she had run into him.After a while, Adrian pushed her away and asked, "What are you doing here? Where’d you come from?""I was returning to Swallowston after visiting my mother when everything happened. Those monsters attacked me and I drove away, but my car ran out of gas. I had no choice but to run. Before I knew it, I ended up here.”Nadine would never forget those haunting memories. The sudden turn of events had shattered her hope.Adrian had believed Nadine, like Sarah, had vanished. He never expected her to be alive. He hugged her tightly once more after listening to her story. "I thought you were gone. I went to Swallowston and rescued Sam and Nova. They’re alive and currently in Novemton. The city has fortified defenses, and soldiers from Wyvern Peak are guarding the place."Nadine anxiously asked, "Are they all right?""Yeah, they're fine,

Nadine whispered, "Is that Rozi? She looks so much stronger than other women."Adrian gestured for Nadine to lower her voice and said, "Rozi is a princess, after all.""A princess? From where? Somewhere in the West? Is she a royalty of Sormbay? I've never heard of her.""She's from Partingia.""Where's that?" Nadine looked at Adrian, wholly puzzled.Adrian chuckled and explained, "Partingia is an ancient kingdom dating back twelve hundred years. Rozi came out of a coffin in Enigma City and is our companion now.""What?!" Nadine, unable to control her shock, exclaimed loudly and went wide-eyed.Rozi looked at Nadine curiously, leaving the latter embarrassed by her outburst. Adrian continued, "She's from an ancient kingdom and was a princess there. She's probably our great-great-great-great-something grandmother.""You mean to say she’s been alive for over a thousand years? Is she some kind of monster?" Nadine was astonished.Adrian shrugged.Nadine gently patted Rozi's shoul

Nadine fell silent. The extraordinary situation left her lost in thought.Soon after, Adrian drove to the vicinity of a tower just outside Vanglesville. The tower constructed five years ago was tall yet easy to climb. He spotted several monsters nearby and gestured to Rozi. She opened the window and transformed into a streak of light. She resembled a comet that swooshed past the nearby monsters and instantly defeated them."Wow…" Nadine was amazed at what she had just witnessed.Adrian parked the car, and then he and Rozi unloaded the remaining supplies and strapped them onto themselves. Adrian gazed at the tower and said, "We'll spend the night here. Rozi, you take Nadine up. I'll prepare a little surprise for the monsters."Rozi looked at Nadine and said, "Hang on tight, Nadia. I won't be responsible if you fall off.""Hey! It's Nadine!"Rozi ignored her and led Nadine up the tower. Five minutes later, they reached the top just as Adrian finished setting his trap below. She kep

Adrian and Rozi had the ability to protect themselves and complete their journey. Even if they were no match for the monsters, it was unlikely they would end up dying to them. However, the situation would be different if they brought Nadine along.Rozi said, "It's a dangerous journey, and taking Nadine with us will be risky, and she'll only slow us down. Why don’t we just leave her here?" Adrian gave her a side-eye and replied, "I'd rather leave you here on your own before I even think about abandoning her.""Why?" Rozi asked in confusion."Simple. You have the ability to survive while she doesn't. I doubt she'd last till sunrise if I were to leave her."Rozi pursed her lips. "I'm serious though. It wouldn’t do us any good to take your girlfriend with us. Do you have a plan for how we can get her to a safe place first?""Is there any place in the world that's truly safe now?" Adrian respondedRozi was left stumped for a moment. Adrian scanned their surroundings before saying,

Aside from Adrian and Rozi changing shifts once, the night was uneventful. The next morning, Adrian was awoken by the cries of monster birds. When he opened his eyes, Rozi had just sliced off the head of one."The bird monsters are here. We have to leave now!" she said.Adrian looked up to the sky. It was swarming with countless bird monsters with sharp claws and giant wings. Nadine, awakened by the sounds, screamed when she saw the monsters flying toward the tower."Come on! We have to go!" Adrian shouted. He untied the rope that bound Nadine to the tower and picked her up. Rozi stood at the top of the tower, slashing her sword through the monsters that got too close. "Get her to the ground! I'll cover you!"Having to ensure Nadine's safety now that she was in his group, he did not think twice before doing as Rozi told him. At that moment, the roar of countless monsters reached their ears. They hammered away at the tower with enormous hammers. The tower shook and would collaps

Though they managed to escape, the monsters continued to pursue them. Rozi and Adrian pushed onward, attempting to throw them off. After about ten minutes, the monsters slowed down, and the trio managed to break free a little under five kilometers from Vanglesville.Rozi stopped and took a deep breath, while Adrian, vigilant as ever, looked around to confirm there were no monsters pursuing them. He then carefully placed Nadine on the ground. The three of them were covered in green blood, and the nauseating stench filled the air."I stink." Rozi wrinkled her nose as she looked at her blood-soaked attire.Adrian ignored her and climbed up a tree to look at Vanglesville through his binoculars. The place was overrun with monsters. Fortunately, this village was not a large city, so the number of monsters was manageable in comparison to what they had seen in Swallowston and Novemton. Adrian and Rozi were capable enough of escaping the army unless they encountered an exceptionally powerful

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
