The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1739
Marissa stood up and followed Adrian to the main hall. When they reached the legate statues, Adrian stared at them for a long time.He then smiled and said, "Marissa, maybe Sean was right. This shrine may indeed be where hope begins. There are others besides us who are silently guarding this world. Sean did an excellent job."Marissa did not understand what Adrian was saying.He released Marissa and gazed at the statues. "According to the Seer's layout and my knowledge of mechanisms, the underground chamber here must’ve been built during the construction of this shrine. The mechanism to activate the chamber should be on the statue of the first legate, War Legate Enneagon."Adrian narrowed his eyes and continued, "Enneagon wears a silvery-white cloak with a golden flag on it. Let's see… If I were the Seer, I’d probably install the switch at…his head!" He jumped up and, from a higher vantage point, noticed eight finger-sized holes arranged on top of War Legate Enneagon's statue.

"This should be the third part," Adrian said. When he withdrew his hand, he noticed some blood on his fingers. He rubbed them together and murmured. "Blood, which means this is probably a balance system. Only by inserting liquid in sufficient weight, volume, and density will this part unlock. Since there's blood on this, Sean probably opened it using his blood."All right, I’ve located all three mechanisms. It's time to decipher them."Adrian stepped back a few paces. "Marissa, I'm going to need you to take a few steps back so that you don't get frightened."Marissa did not know what Adrian was up to but complied and stepped back two paces.Adrian leaped onto the statue of War Legate Enneagon. He had come across such a thing before, so he knew what he was doing. After examining the eight holes, he inserted a finger into one of them. With that, the sounds of chains rattling were heard coming from beneath the shrine as though something had been opened. Adrian smiled and jumped off

"Where are we? It's so cold." Marissa’s head swiveled around.Adrian was captivated by everything in the hidden chamber. He released Marissa's hand and said, "We’re currently inside a hidden chamber. Stay here and get some rest. I’m going to go explore the place. Call me if you need anything."Marissa nodded. Adrian left Marissa’s side and used his flashlight to illuminate the chamber's walls. There were drawings all over the walls, most likely done when the shrine was constructed. The message conveyed in these drawings is similar to what he saw in Wonder's world. He was sure they were records of information but he chose not to focus on them and instead approached the mummified corpse. The mummy was dressed in a robe, and Adrian was able to quickly discern its identity. 'This must be the Seer. He built this shrine and died here.'Marissa curiously asked, "Is there a body in here, Adrian?"Adrian nodded, "There is, but don’t worry. The person has been dead for several decades. I

Adrian contemplated for a moment. The Oracle Lineage must have been an ancient tribe from the old days of the empire. Adrian had never read any information about them. He then picked up on something else from the Seer's message.“The Chosen One?” he muttered as he pondered some more, recalling all the books he had ever read.Marissa suddenly piped up, "The Oracle Lineage was from a long time ago, probably when our country was still being ruled by an emperor. They used to live in the lower parts of the Oracle Sea, hence the name of their tribe.”"You know of them?" Adrian asked in surprise.Marissa replied, "When I was about thirteen or fourteen, I heard a story about them from an old man.”"An old man?""Yes, we used to call him Grandpa Bill. Grandpa Bill’s long gone now. He told us that the Oracle Lineage had been guarding a secret since the end of an ancient war. As time passed, their numbers dwindled, and now, they’re nearly extinct.""Tell me more about Grandpa Bill."Maris

Adrian had unraveled the puzzle, connecting the dots and revealing the bigger picture of the world's history.First, Wonder came to an agreement with the Creator, then used the power of runes to prevent those in the Oracle Lineage from losing their memories. Even though the world had been reset, the Oracle Lineage retained their memories and built the palace together with Wonder, where they also built the entrance to Wonder's world. Wonder left behind the method to eliminate the Creator, and that secret needed guarding. The Oracle Lineage, whose memories were intact, accepted this mission and vowed to pass down the secret. Moreover, they split the secrets into fragments and hid them all over the place.The Seer was the last protector of this secret. When he knew that his life was coming to an end and saw that he did not have any descendants, he built the War Legate Shrine to store the secret. He then built this hidden chamber and appointed a shrine caretaker to guard it.Many cent

Adrian observed the wall drawings intently. They portrayed a fierce battle between the immortals and the Creator. However, the drawings in the chamber were much more detailed in comparison to the ones in Wonder's world. The drawings the Seer had left behind told a story. In it, Wonder led a group of immortals in an intense battle atop a mountain. Shadows blotted out the sky and an army of monsters filled the mountain. The shadow in the sky had a giant face that looked hungry to devour life.The next part of the story showed a radiant beam of light piercing through the dark sky, leaving a hole that allowed sunlight into the world once more. The source of the light was the artifact of an immortal. It shined so brightly that it pierced through all matter. The artifact itself was a marble urn with a giant eagle engraved on it, and the light poured out of the eagle's eyes.The shadow, furious, killed the immortals and destroyed the artifact. Wonder then realized the Creator was afraid

Sp, how were the gems supposed to be taken away? Adrian looked around, where there was nothing else aside from the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and himself. He closed his eyes, trying to find answers to the current situation. He assessed everything that was in the chamber.‘The drawings, the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and myself… There's only us four in this chamber that is of significance, so could the key to taking the gems be on the corpse?'There was a robe around the corpse, but it had long fused with the corpse. It was impossible to use it to try and grab the gems. The drawings were not the answer either as they could not move, nor could the gems fly toward the drawing on their own.'What else is there? Gems that were used on an eagle’s eyes… Hang on, eyes? Eyes for a blind person? A blind person!' Adrian turned around to look at Marissa, who was sitting on the floor. With heightened nerves, he said, "Marissa, you told me that Sean mentioned there's a pair of eyes inside the War L

“This is a test set by the light. You have to face it bravely with your sincerity and kind heart," Adrian encouraged, knowing Marissa's spirit was pureShe got closer and closer to the gems. When she was centimeters away, a silvery light emanated from them and they broke free of the necklace. The runes carved on the gems began to radiate light, melting the outer layer, and revealing their clear and translucent true forms.The glowing, clear gems then entered Marissa's eyes. She screamed and hastily covered her eyes as she staggered backward. Her eyes were now glowing. The gems had replaced her original eyes, and the runes on the gems connected themselves to Marissa's veins.These eye gems took root and repaired Marissa's vision. As Marissa’s screams faded, the light finally vanished. Her eyes were now deep blue and carried an ethereal beauty."I can see..." Marissa murmured as she looked at Adrian, then around the whole chamber. "I can see!" she exclaimed excitedly.Adrian breathe

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4552
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
