The soldiers on the city wall stood to attention as the trio passed by. Rozi asked, "Are they saluting us?"Adrian nodded. "Yes, there was a team of Wyvern Peak soldiers stationed in Eastrive before the reset, so the Battle Warrior Department has likely taken control of the city."Rozi peered out the window and returned the salute by waving at them. The soldiers waved the Wyvern Peak battle flag in their hands in return.Without stopping, Adrian continued to speed along since they were in a rush.***Aside from the occasional monster encounter, which Rozi quickly handled, the trio’s journey was smooth sailing. However, Adrian noticed a severe problem. The monsters around the outskirts had dwindled as though they were gathering around city areas. But he decided not to pay this any attention since he did not know what the Creator was up to. He simply took a mental note of this.As the trio went to search for Crutcher, Geras City and its few residents had built a wall around the

Juan continued, "Aside from that, we've managed to get in touch with Drogoton and Novemton.""What's their situation?""Sir Draco just left Drogoton this morning in search of a man called Crutcher. Drogoton also encountered a new species of monsters they’re calling minotaurs. These creatures’ bodies are as hot as lava, and bullets are ineffective against them. Drogoton is currently using large amounts of concrete and rebars to expand its walls. They told us to prepare ourselves to go up against these monsters. That's what I’m here about.""Do you have a picture of these minotaurs?""I do.” Juan took out his cell phone and brought up a photo. "These are the minotaurs that almost took down Drogoton. It was thanks to a pair of eyes that they were saved.""A pair of eyes? What do you mean?" Sage asked. "Sir Draco had visited the War Legate Shrine in Vanglesville and found some clues there before arriving in Drogoton. He discovered a pair of eyeballs which are apparently some ancient

Sage rushed to the communication center. As she arrived before the big screen, she took a deep breath, a staff member connected the call and projected the video feed onto the screen. A handsome-looking young man appeared on the screen after a while.It was Strider. Sage covered her mouth with one hand when she saw him, while the latter asked, "How have you been?""You're alive!" Sage said excitedly. "Yes, I am."Sage couldn't express her emotions in words. She hadn't known Strider for long, but because they were in the same organization, they had been in contact before the reset happened.The truth was, she had fallen for Strider from the moment she saw him. At the end of the day, Sage was a young girl growing into a woman. She yearned to have a relationship of her own."How have you been?" Sage asked.Strider replied, "I asked you that question first.""I'm in Geras City. We've established defenses here and have over seven hundred thousand people, approximately two hundred
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1782
"Seriously, Strider. I'm amazed at how brave you are to loot from the Excenomers under such circumstances. The whole world is facing the same disaster right now, so it's only right for us humans to stand together in times like these.""Do you actually expect the outlanders to help us? Every country is trying their hardest to secure more food and resources for their own survival, so it's best not to be too kind to them.""You're right. Still, a million tons of food is no joke. How are you going to transport all that to me?" Sage pulled the conversation back."We have cargo planes at Evercrest. I got those from the Excenomers too. There's also a train that goes from the mountain to Geras. I'll deliver the supplies to you through both modes, so I need you to clean up the airport and the train tracks before I get there.""Those bird monsters won't allow the planes’ safe passage.""No method is safe these days. Just focus on defending Geras, and I'll find a way to get the food to you.
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1783
The pair ended the conversation after a few more exchanges. Sage heaved a sigh of relief as she now saw hope for the future. Juan said, "If the people at Evercrest are willing to help us, there's hope for Geras."It was no simple task to transport supplies from Evercrest to Geras, but the city would be in ruins if Strider did not step up. No living being could survive without food. "Tell everyone to gather for a conference. We need to discuss how we're going to help the guys at Evercrest deliver those food supplies to us," Sage calmly said. "Yes, ma'am."Thus, an emergency meeting was held in Geras.***After the call ended, Strider silently stared at the screen. They had successfully reclaimed the base on the mountain after the last assault, and he had been building up the basic facilities required. Most of the damage caused by monsters had since been repaired. Aside from that, they had large amounts of food supplies since the base itself was originally a main camp. Str
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1784
After glazing over the gathered soldiers, Strider said, "Everyone, we've just made contact with Madam Sage at Geras City. The situation there isn't optimistic. There are around seven hundred thousand survivors, but they have less than ten days of food left."Everyone began whispering to each other when they heard this. Many of them came from Geras. Some even had family and friends there, and they sighed upon hearing the news.Maxime then said, "Now then, all those who are from Geras, step forward.”March! March! March! Nearly three thousand soldiers came forward and stood in a neat formation at the forefront of the assembly. These were the natives of Geras, belonging to the minority ethnic group known as Gerasian.Strider continued, "Brothers and sisters, the city you hail from is facing a disaster. Do any of you have anything to say about this?""Sir Strider, my family is most likely in Geras. It would've been impossible for them to leave, and I don't know how many of them are
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1785
No one was willing to give up on the citizens in Geras. Everyone wanted to do something for them, however little it may be.Strider raised his hand, silencing all the cheers and shouts. He calmly said, "A million tons will be enough for them to get through their current disaster, but it won’t be easy to transport all of that food there. Some of you may die. With that, are you all still willing to do it?""The b*stard took away my family, so I'll never resign my fate to him, even if I have to die in the process. I'll do it, sir!" a young man shouted."Me too." "Give us your orders, Sir Strider. We'll do whatever it takes to get that food to Geras, even if it means we have to lay down our lives.""We'll never retreat, we'll never surrender, and we'll never betray!" the soldiers chanted.Their hearts pumped rapidly, each and every one of them filled with extreme hatred for the shadow in the sky. Their hatred ran so deep that they would do anything it took to take it down. Strider
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1786
"There will be a hundred thousand of you escorting the food, and I want all of you to familiarize yourselves with my plan over the next five hours. You'll depart immediately after. When you arrive at Geras, Sage will take over command from me and have you defend the city. I wish all of you good luck. Be safe.""What?!""You're sending a hundred thousand of us out there?”"Won’t Evercrest be no better than empty if all of us went there?" Evercrest Mountain only had a hundred and fifty thousand personnel, and there would only be fifty thousand left if a hundred thousand were sent to Geras. The soldiers wondered how fifty thousand would be able to defend the base."Sir, what about our base here?" "I will stay here and defend the base, so don't worry about things over here. I'll lead the remaining men and find more hope. I hope to see you all alive the next time we meet.""But sir…"After a brief moment of stun, the soldiers started to chant, "All hail Sir Strider! All hail Sir S

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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
