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 did not leave Nadine with a choice since this was not the time to be emotional. Adrian and Rozi had a long journey ahead—an arduous one. Nadine had to stay behind in Drogoton for the time being.After a quick meal, Adrian went off to observe Vanglesville. The village was overrun with monsters, and he could not discern the situation at the War Legate Shrine. "How do we get in? There are too many monsters, and I even spotted a few giant ones." Rozi walked over, equally concerned as she stared at Vanglesville. The situation in the village was beyond their imagination, and it was clear they could not force their way in. There were two main reasons for this. First, their hands would be tied even if they got inside if the monsters were not thoroughly cleared out. Second, the monsters might prevent them from entering the War Legate Shrine, or even destroy them if they tried to force their way in.Their objective was clear—to eliminate all the monsters in the village. The big ques

    However, he was in no mood to joke around. "We only have one option.""You already thought of a plan? Well, go on then," Rozi said eagerly.Adrian bent down and drew a map of Vanglesville on the ground with his eyes shut. Though he had never been there, he had meticulously studied the bird's-eye view maps of all the towns and villages, all the way down to the streets and alleys. By drawing out Vanglesville, Rozi could know the layout and streets of the city. The War Legate Shrine was located on the outskirts of Vanglesville, with a stream leading out of the city nearby. Adrian looked at Rozi and said, "We'll have to travel through water since the roads are blocked. There's a stream outside the shrine where the water runs deep and passes through the shrine. That's how we can get inside.""But where do we get a boat? Also, we'd still be attacked by monsters. Don't forget we can't drown the giant ones.” Rozi quickly pointed out."We'll swim there," Adrian explained."What? Swim the

    The trio arrived by the stream in less than two minutes. The area was filled with drooping willows, lifeless from the lack of sunlight. The man-made stream, though not very wide, was deep.When they arrived by the stream, they found numerous bodies lying along the banks. Some of the corpses—human and monster—were partially submerged in the water. The now foul stream emitted a stench that stank to the high heavens.“Is this the stream? It's disgusting," Rozi said, taking several steps back and quickly covering her nose and mouth.Nadine felt like vomiting, especially when she saw the rotting corpses.Adrian had not expected this and frowned. "These people probably came here looking for food after the disaster happened and were killed by the monsters. This stream was a lifeline for the people of Vanglesville as it was abundant with fish," he explained.Based on the stage of decomposition, it was clear the corpses had been here for at least a week. Adrian bent down to examine the cor

    “Can you manage on your own? How about I go with you? I'm willing to try and fight my fears," Nadine said, looking conflicted."I can't go in there. It's too disgusting," Rozi insisted.Adrian chuckled. "I wasn't planning on letting either of you come with me anyway. Rozi, please take care of Nadine. Find a safe place and wait for me there. I'll be back soon."Rozi nodded. "All right, be careful. We'll be somewhere nearby."After leaving his instructions, Adrian waded into the foul stream and disappeared beneath the water's surface. Rozi and Nadine looked away once he was no longer within sight.Nadine asked, "Will he be okay on his own?”Rozi replied, "Don't worry about him and focus on your own safety instead. I’ll leave you behind if any of those monsters come near us."Nadine rolled her eyes and followed Rozi away from the stream.***Adrian swam quite a distance. As he suspected, there were many bodies underwater. The water was so murky that Adrian had to tear off some fa

    Adrian knew that the Gost Emperor had used some sort of parasite to control the zombie guards in Enigma City. More accurately, they were worms Rozi extracted from the meteorites and genetically modified. She then created a serum that allowed control over them, which the emperor used to manufacture large numbers of zombie guards.The monster Adrian had encountered appeared similar to those worms. However, Enigma City had been destroyed, so it was unlikely for them to be present there. The only explanation was this monster was connected to how the zombie guards were made.Rozi once mentioned that Enigma City existed long before the Gost Emperor took over. That suggested everything that was happening in the present was a unique marking left behind many years ago.'Forget it. I have to get to the shrine as soon as possible. I might find a clue there.' Adrian submerged again and continued his journey. Fortunately, he did not encounter any more of those monsters, allowing him to reach t

    According to the records, Enneagon's parents passed away at an early age and he had worked as a laborer for a local employer to make ends meet. Later in life, he joined Wyvern Peak and went on to achieve legendary status.The second statue was of War Legate Celest. He sported a long beard and a golden battle suit. Brandishing a great ax, he exuded a strong murderous intent. Celest, whose real name was Marcoh Artois, came fifty years after Enneagon. He was the blacksmith of Vanglesville, known for having crafted remarkable weapons. During the war, he wielded the ax he had forged himself and gained fame in battle.The third statue was War Legate Genesis, followed by War Legate Drakirin, and War Legate Victor.The last statue was of War Legate Dominus.The sixth legate, Jerome, was depicted holding a sword as he stood at Navia's natural moat, fighting against the Eight Hollows. His statue was added after he killed the Eight Hollows, and the town of Vanglesville was also renamed Sixang

    The woman calmed down a little when she heard this, and Adrian realized she was blind.As she cowered fearfully, Adrian asked, "What's your name?"The woman hesitated for a moment, then responded in a hoarse voice, "Marissa Shore.""Marissa…" Adrian softly repeated. He fished out a packet of beef jerky and a bottle of water and placed them in Marissa’s hands.When she touched the bottle, her throat seized up. Her lips were deadly parched as she had not eaten or drank for several days."It's clean water I got from a market. You're severely dehydrated, so I’ll add some salt to the water. Take a few sips first," Adrian said as he opened the bottle.Marissa’s hands trembled as she whispered, "Thank you."Following Adrian's advice, she took only a couple of sips. It was essential to drink slowly when severely dehydrated to prevent any discomfort or harm.Adrian then tore open the beef jerky packet and offered it to Marissa. "It's yak jerky. Take three pieces first."Marissa accepte

    Adrian said, "Marissa, listen to me. You need to stay strong for Sean's sake and not give up, okay?""But what hope is there left for me? I’m blind, and they say there are monsters out there," Marissa sobbed."I'm here, aren't I?" Adrian replied earnestly."What's your name? How did you get here? Sean said the place is overrun with monsters and that many people have been killed," Marissa tearfully asked.Adrian continued to smile at Marissa despite her inability to see."First, take a few more sips of water and eat some more. I'll answer your questions after that," Adrian urged.Marissa nodded in agreement, then took a few sips from the water bottle and ate more jerky."My name’s Adrian, and I came here to find clues.""Adrian?" Marissa inquired. "I know Wyvern Peak had a legate named Adrian."Adrian smiled. "You seem quite knowledgeable. By the way, how did you and Sean end up here? Where did you two come from?"Marissa answered, "Sean and I are both from Vanglesville. One d

    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
