"It is him!""I never thought we'd run into you here, sir!" The other survivors started expressing their surprise and gratitude too.Adrian sat down and addressed them, "Relax, everyone. Are you all okay? What are your names?"The long-haired woman who spoke first stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Elise Dubois. I was a train conductor.”The short-haired woman next to her said, "I'm Mathilde Russel, her co-conductor."The four men introduced themselves as well. "I'm Lucienne Moreau, a security guard at the station.""Theo Deschamps. I worked at the ticket counter." "I'm Laurent Blanchard, and I was also a security guard." "Me too. The name’s Maxime Durand."Adrian nodded and remembered their names. "I'm glad you're all alive. We're currently headed to Drogoton. There are many soldiers guarding the city and they’ve also put up defensive walls. You'll all be safe there.”"Thank you, Sir Draco. We would've starved to death in there if it weren't for you,” said Elise.M

In the face of disaster, life took precedence over everything else. When Adrian took over Wyvern Peak, he had sworn an oath, pledging to value life about everything else. So whenever presented with the chance to save someone, he would never abandon them.Adrian had given them hope, and they, in turn, expressed their heartfelt gratitude. It was a reciprocal exchange, and Adrian believed that one day, the disaster would vanish into thin air."Rest, everyone. It's relatively safe here, and once we reach our destination, you can rest without worry," Adrian said, not wanting to burden them with more talk.Elise and the others shut their eyes, exhausted after being tensed up for so many days. Adrian had Nadine and Marissa head to the control room while he climbed onto the roof. Rozi was sitting there, maintaining a vigilant watch over their surroundings while pondering over her thoughts. "Are you thinking about Partingia again?" Adrian asked smilingly as he sat next to her.This time,

Rather than being a coincidence, everything seemed like deliberate action at that moment. Adrian said, "The Creator probably found out about this secret and tried to use Gostia to destroy Partingia since he hadn’t recovered his powers from the last battle. Yet, he failed. Left with no choice, he had to exhaust more of his powers to change the climate of Partingia."Rozi took a deep breath. "He wants to destroy the eagle artifact, but I won’t let him. I’ll avenge my father and my citizens, even if it means my death." She clenched her fists tightly.Adrian smiled. "And I'll be right by your side. However, going to Partingia's ruins isn't our top priority right now, so you need to keep a clear head and not lose your judgment.""I've lived for over a thousand years. Do you think I’m going to just sit here and be lectured by you, you little punk?" Rozi glared at Adrian."Where did you learn that from?”"Helen."Adrian was instantly speechless. He knew that Rozi would learn every sin

Adrian and Rozi took turns keeping watch on the roof. After about ten hours, they finally reached Drogoton's borders in the morning. There was only an hour's journey left before they reached the train station, located in the middle of Drogoton.Adrian expected this last hour to be the most challenging. He stood on the roof of the train, looking at Drogoton through his binoculars. He saw that Drogoton's periphery was protected by thick, towering walls that were several meters high. Outside the walls, countless monsters pounded at it, attempting to breach the walls and enter the city. Fortunately, the city walls were highly resistant to these attacks, and the monsters struggled to make even a dent."We're almost there," Adrian said as he put down the binoculars.Rozi climbed up and took a look too. "There are too many monsters around the city. They're all over the tracks. We'll be thrown off the track if we ram into so many of them." She may not fully understand how trains worked,

They had achieved extensive coverage and could capture signals from several kilometers away. In addition, Remy had deployed remote-controlled drones to the areas surrounding Drogoton for blanket search operations. Whenever a drone spotted signs of human presence, Drogoton would dispatch soldiers to rescue them.At that moment, Gracia, who served as head of the communications department, heard someone calling out to her and asked, "What's the matter? Did you pick up something?"A female staff member pointed to her computer screen and exclaimed excitedly, "A drone spotted a train traveling at high speed along the train tracks toward the city. It's going to crash if we don't allow it access"Gracia urgently asked, "Who's operating the train? Are there people on board?""All of Navia’s trains are equipped for autonomous operation. We've provided the train with maps and rail routes, so they can operate autonomously without a signal. Monsters would know how to operate the train, so I'm s

Under the urgent mobilization, eighty thousand Wyvern Peak soldiers quickly assembled. Alcyoneus briefly assigned tasks through the communicator and ordered for Track Twenty-four to be opened and cleared. Soon, the gates opened and all soldiers involved stormed out of the city with guns blazing. "Clear out the tracks in half an hour and ensure that the train enters the city safely. The lives of the survivors of the train now rest in our hands. This may be tough, but we're going to accomplish the mission. Charge!" Alcyoneus roared."Go, go, go!"The sounds of gunshots, explosions, and artillery fire echoed throughout the area. Snipers positioned themselves on the city walls to cover their comrades. With Alcyoneus in the lead, Stardust, Astral, and Radiance led their respective groups to swiftly clear out the surrounding monsters before advancing further. Their sole mission was to guard Track Twenty-four and ensure that the train entered Drogoton safely. It was an incredibly chal

"Remy has the qualifications to become a legate of Wyvern Peak. Unfortunately, he crossed paths with Jerome, someone stronger and more talented than him. However, he's no less than Jerome when it comes to tactics and strategies," Adrian explained."Who do you prefer between the both of them?" Rozi asked."I don’t have any favorites. One of the reasons Remy lost was because he was worried about me, so I can't say for sure who would win if they were to have a rematch. Anyway, we're about to enter the city," Adrian calmly stated.For the first time, Rozi began to perceive Adrian in a different light. She realized that he had a unique way of doing things and had a distinct thought process. For example, he seemed to be very confident Remy would be able to come up with a strategy to allow them entry into the city, even though Remy had no idea who was inside the train. Rozi came to acknowledge Remy after seeing his performance. Regardless of his abilities, he was a competent leader who n
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1765
Everyone's boiling enthusiasm burst forth. The soldiers gazed at Adrian in astonishment, never expecting to welcome back their former legate. Tears welled up in their eyes. Adrian had made himself a legend long ago, and everyone felt there was no danger too much for them to handle so long as Adrian was around. Meanwhile, Adrian grew even more resolute when he heard the voices of his comrades. He knew that they would recover everything they had lost. Rozi also recognized Adrian's significance in the people's hearts and was equally inspired by the passionate soldiers.The train continued to move forward, and the soldiers withdrew with it. Adrian stood at the front of the train, his arm wrapped in the Wyvern Peak battle flag. The bright red flag announced to everyone that Wyvern Peak had not fallen and that they were still alive. Anything was possible as long as they remained hopeful."Close the gates!"With the successful entry of the train and the soldiers into Drogoton, the mass

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.

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
