The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1729
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

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

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 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
