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

Adrian was blatantly threatening her. It was clear he would subject her to torment and death if she didn’t agree to his terms. How could such a person be described as reasonable?Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Adrian and show him her strength.Adrian simply looked at her calmly. “There’s no need to resent me. I’m actually quite agreeable. When things can be resolved, I try to resolve them. As for you, rest assured. During your month of servitude, I won’t make you serve in vain. You’re the princess of Ciawales, correct? It just so happens I have some free time. Let’s head there together.“Also, tell me about the customs and cultures of this world. I’ve been in secluded training for many years and have forgotten much about the outside world,” he lied.Renee was taken aback. Adrian didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be some kind of reclusive expert? His words only left her more puzzled.“How am I supposed to introduce it? Are you not from this world?”

Was Adrian looking for praise? Renee couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. She wasn’t sure what Adrian was trying to convey. All his words seemed to point to one thing—that he was her savior, and now she owed him her obedience.To Renee, this was a difficult pill to swallow. After all, she was a princess, and Adrian’s implication was that she should lower herself to him. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.Though she felt deeply unwilling, Renee could only grit her teeth and respond calmly, “Yes, you saved me. I’m deeply grateful. I promise to repay your kindness when I get the chance.” She locked eyes with Adrian, waiting for his reaction. If Adrian wasn’t satisfied, she truly didn’t know what to do. The valuable items she possessed were limited, consisting mostly of a few life-saving treasures. Beyond that, there wasn’t much on her that was of worth.Adrian, however, narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “Just a few words of thanks? Do y

"Spare me! Otherwise, Divine Reaper won’t let you go!" the leader shouted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Adrian.The man looked terrifying, exuding a powerful aura. He was using a secret technique, hoping to escape. But with a casual wave of his hand, Adrian created a barrier that blocked the man’s path.Renee, watching from below, was stunned. Divine Reaper… They were the most feared assassin organization in the Spirit Domain, known for their stealthy and deadly methods that instilled fear in everyone.There was a saying across the Spirit Domain: if Divine Reaper marked someone for death, nine out of ten targets would die. If someone survived, it was because they were of an extraordinary and untouchable status. Clearly, her status as the princess of Ciawales wasn’t extraordinary enough to make her exempt from such threats.Adrian smiled and said, “Nice name, but you’ve offended the wrong person. You deserve to die.” He swung his Soul Devouring Sword.A wave of power surged forth, a

"I can't believe it! Is this guy really that terrifying? Can we truly not defeat him?" the leader muttered. He gripped a curved blade, which now glowed with a blood-red light.The others around him also had cold glints in their eyes. They were not about to admit defeat easily. Although Adrian was powerful, they weren’t willing to give up without a fight. Adrian had only been killing intermediary Nascents. He hadn’t even touched the advanced ones yet. Most importantly, their leader was at the peak of the Nascent Stage, making him an incredibly strong and fearsome opponent. This alone was enough to show that their leader had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Adrian. They were confident that Adrian couldn’t defeat their boss, especially with them assisting.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying shockwave tore through the heavens, leaving the surroundings trembling violently. Adrian’s gaze was sharp, filled with an intense killing intent.“Die!” he shouted.Bam!The leader was struck har

Moreover, the strength Adrian displayed was so overwhelming that it left everyone in disbelief. After all, in the Spirit Realm, the physical body of any immortal was supposed to be relatively fragile, and having a powerful physical body was impossible.The group couldn't quite accept the fact that Adrian was out of their league. Yet, no matter how they tried to make sense of it, it seemed like nothing could change the reality of the situation. One of the black-clad men sneered. "Perhaps this kid's physical strength is enhanced by some kind of secret treasure. Once we kill him and take the treasure, we’ll boost our own power." His words were intended to rally the group as if trying to inspire them to believe they were on the verge of victory. Adrian merely smiled coldly upon hearing this. With a murderous gleam in his eyes, his voice turned cold as he said, "Since you're all so determined to meet your end, don't blame me."Adrian threw another punch, and this time, it was a force

The group's formation suddenly began to shatter. The white light radiated by the formation continued to whip up the surrounding yellow sand."How is this possible?" one of the men gasped in disbelief. This was a powerful barrier set up by several experts in the late Divine Stage, yet it had been destroyed so easily.The leader of the black-clad men sneered. "Hmph! It's just the formation being broken. Most likely it was pure luck for this guy. Don’t be afraid of him."His words caused the others to pause. While his words were meant to reassure them, the reality of the situation was far from simple. It was impossible for them to defeat Adrian, who was proving to be much stronger than anticipated? After all, Adrian’s strength had clearly surpassed that of a typical Divine immortal. Even if he were in the Divine Stage, he had undoubtedly reached the peak. Breaking the formation with ease was impossible unless one was at that level."It's just a bluff," the leader of the black-clad m

Renee felt a sense of helplessness within. As a princess of Ciawales, she was now left pondering a difficult question.Adrian was unaware of Renee’s thoughts. If he had known that Renee was considering fleeing while he was risking his life, he would not have helped her.As the onslaught of attacks descended upon him, Adrian leaped swiftly into the air. The attacks from the black-clad men crashed into him, but Adrian remained unscathed. This caused the group of attackers to freeze in disbelief."What’s going on?" they muttered in shock as they stared at Adrian, who appeared as agile as a panther.At the moment when Adrian leaped into the air, it seemed as though nothing could stop him. His expression remained calm and nonchalant in the face of their attacks."Is this all you’ve got? You’re really that weak. Feel free to unleash everything you’ve got. Don’t hold back," Adrian said, his tone laced with disdain.The black-clad group was stunned by Adrian’s arrogance. Even Renee stood

Adrian smiled as he replied, "Is that so? Well, it seems you're just unlucky. The moment you encountered me, your fate was already sealed."His simple words were filled with provocation, meant to make the group before him admit their defeat. If they didn't, Adrian was determined to make them regret it.The leader of the black-clad men sneered and stepped forward. "How laughable. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant brat. Do you really think you're some kind of unparalleled genius? I see your strength is only at the Divine Stage. While I can’t quite tell your true level, you shouldn’t be so cocky. Even with your strength, we can overwhelm you with numbers and wear you down. You really don't know when to quit. Now, I’ve changed my mind. Kneel before us, and we’ll spare you."As the leader was talking, his curved blade gleamed with a faint light. The light from the blade seemed to radiate with a dangerous brilliance, causing Adrian’s expression to momentarily shift

"No matter who he is, he's no match for us. I advise you to surrender quietly, Renee," one of the black-clad men said.Clinging to the last flicker of hope, Renee was not willing to give up. She charged toward the barrier, unleashing an attack as she did. The strike hit the barrier, and it trembled violently.At that moment, Adrian’s eyes snapped open. Seeing the situation before him, his expression grew cold.Renee continued her wild assault. As her eyes met Adrian’s, an unexpected surge of panic overtook her.The black-clad pursuers were furious. “Hey, kid up ahead! I suggest you mind your own business. This woman belongs to us. If you want to stay alive, leave now."The voice of the black-clad man was booming, and the sound of it echoed through the desert, proving that these pursuers were no ordinary threat.Adrian’s expression turned even colder. He had no intention of getting involved, but when the others spoke so recklessly, he couldn’t just ignore it. As he slowly rose to
