The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1829
Adrian and Rozi went off on the bus. He had no plans to look for the girl or the Timewinder for now as he did not know where they were. He had to locate the eagle artifact first if he wanted to proceed further.The location of the artifact was clear—Mount Shangspar.***Time passed by quickly. While on the way to Mount Shangspar, Adrian could see the Evercrest soldiers fighting valiantly far away on their way to Geras. Thousands of civilians were gathered on the street, witnessing the signs of the battle that had lasted for seven days. The Evercrest soldiers had no idea how much longer they would last, nor were they aware of how many of their comrades had died in action. Yet, none of them had any intention of stopping. The train tracks across the distance had been cleaned up, and the Geras soldiers were defending them as they waited for the train to arrive. They were exhausted and the civilians had starved for three days. They were waiting for their food rations to arrive. Rattl
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1830
On this day, hundreds of thousands of civilians quietly stood on the top of tall buildings, watching the approaching train. It was carrying countless bodies of fallen soldiers, their bloods dripping off the carriages as it sped into the city.The Evercrest soldiers had sacrificed themselves so that a million tons of food could be delivered to Geras. The moment their mission would be completed was almost at hand.A deep silence fell over Geras City. All of its citizens were weeping uncontrollably.As the soldiers too cried their hearts out, Juan yelled through his own tears, "Stop the train!" Rattle, rattle, rattle!The soldiers started pulling at the train and its carriages, which finally came to a halt after half an hour. Juan and his men then opened up the carriages and found the food supplies intact. However, everything had been dyed red by the blood of their comrades. Sage, covered in blood, trembled as she walked toward the trains and shouted, "Save them!"The soldiers le

The eerie laughter sounded like it was provoking Sage, mocking her even. As she clenched her fists that were stained with blood, Sage came to terms that she was not fighting for herself. She was fighting for the hundred thousand fallen soldiers!***Navia was not the only country to be hit by the reset. The entire world had been affected. Only half of the world’s population remained, a testament to the extent of the Creator's powers.Mount Shangspar was a snowy mountain located in a far southern region, a place considered to be no man's land since it did not belong to any country. On top of that, it was the coldest place in the world.Partingia was once located where Mount Shangspar now stood. The mountain had just appeared one day, but there were no records of such an event happening throughout history. However, one thing was for sure.Partingia was frozen within the snowy mountains, and the ancient kingdom was now Adrian's destination.Adrian and Rozi reached the borders of M

All of that was now gone. To Rozi's surprise, there were no monsters to be found in Mount Shangspar."I don't see any monsters around, so it's possible this place is different. I don't think we'll be able to return in a month and a half," Rozi said as she steeled herself."In that case, we have to find the various country’s bases built throughout the mountain. They may have food stored inside if these bases are still standing," Adrian said.After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Let's go."Rozi nodded and reached out her hand to Adrian.Holding each other’s hands, they entered the mountain.The harsh environment here was unpredictable, and neither of them could foresee what the weather was going to be like in the next moment. The pair ventured deep into the mountain, and the biting cold began to set in. The landscape was an enormous, snowy expanse, and they did not say a word as they climbed the mountain all the way till noon.Neither of them knew how far or how long they had

"Yes, water." Adrian took a deep breath and continued, "All we need to do is find a water source and follow where it flows toward. I'm sure we'll find something mysterious if we do so. It’ll be proof that there’s an underground somewhere."Let's keep going. We have to travel for another hundred kilometers to where a Navian base is. There's a lake named Sky Lake nearby that houses a Navian scientific region. There are many animals that breed there."Rozi did not object to this plan, knowing that following Adrian would be the right choice. She had developed a deep admiration for him after all that had happened. ***In the following days, the pair searched for Sky Lake within Mount Shangspar. Adrian's unique training and extraordinary physique made the harsh conditions of the snowy mountains bearable. Rozi had undergone mutations, enabling her to adapt better to the mountain's environment. The two of them continued their journey without rest, with only short breaks since time was n

The rest of the world had been rese, yet, based on the existence of the animals at Sky Lake, it was clear the place had not been met with disaster. "It's probably for the same reason as Mount Gremont palace, or maybe it’s something even more powerful than that. The Creator probably couldn't reset this place because Wonder is protecting it.""Maybe it’s the eagle artifact?" "Yes, that's very possible. That's probably why the animals here haven't been affected. But even though everything looks fine now although the sun is blocked, they'll need the sun in the long run, as do all living beings.""At least this means we're on the right track.""Indeed, we are. The artifact is probably here somewhere, so what we need to do now is find a way to get underground.""Let's hope we find it.” Adrian and Rozi descended toward the Sky Lake.Snow leopards watched them from a distance, while various birds Rozi had never seen before hunted along the lake's edge. Fish occasionally leaped from

"Why thirty years?" Rozi asked, puzzled by Adrian's statement.Adrian shrugged and did not answer.The night got darker. Adrian stood watch as Rozi took a nap in the tent. After a few hours, they traded places, and Rozi stood guard till the next morning. Although the sky was covered in shadow, some sunlight managed to pierce through, providing some light to Mount Shangspar.After a simple breakfast, Adrian packed up the tent before the pair approached the lake.Rozi asked, "Where should we go? Where's the water flowing?"Adrian pointed in a direction and said, “I noticed the water flowing in that direction while I was catching fish yesterday. We should be able to find the entrance if we follow the stream. Let's use the tidal waves while we still have them or we'll never find out where Partingia is buried."Rozi did not fully understand tides, but she was eager to find Partingia as quickly as possible.Adrian jumped onto a chunk of floating ice and used it as an improvised raft.

The cavern was covered in ice, with water constantly seeping through the surrounding cracks. The water would then freeze due to the sub-zero conditions here. The place was exceptionally large, with a passage extending deep into the distance. The reflective ice made the cavern look like a natural mirror. "It's beautiful…" Rozi murmured.Adrian observed their surroundings and said, "This place must’ve been much larger before. Water seeped in and turned into ice that filled up this place. My guess is that this cavern would be completely covered with ice if we came here a few years later.""Are you saying we're standing on water?""Yes, it's all water that's been frozen into ice. Water can make its way through literally anything as long as there are cracks. The water here froze when they got in, hence the state of this place. This cavern is akin to a living entity that's continuously growing. The water accumulates and the ice thickens, slowly filling up the cave until it's gone.""It

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
