The coffin was covered in a layer of frost. Adrian then recalled that Nicholas had encountered an attack from someone laying a coffin in Mount Shangspar previously. As they neared the coffin, Adrian held Rozi back and warned, "Be careful. One thing I've learned from Enigma City is that whoever's inside a coffin may not be dead, but a zombie.”Rozi nodded and summoned her sword, while Adrian summoned Dragonbane. Every step they took on that mountain was like walking over thin ice. The pair then cautiously approached the coffin.But just then, Mount Shangspar began to shake violently, like a precursor to another volcanic eruption. The pair stopped in their tracks, and the tremors went on for about five minutes before subsiding."Do you think the volcano is going to erupt again?" Rozi asked, looking at Adrian with uncertainty. She now stood less than ten meters away from the coffin.Adrian looked toward Deus, which looked calm and showed no signs of erupting. The volcano had been er

Strider remained silent.After ordering the shipment of food supplies to Geras and leading his remaining fifty thousand troops away from Evercrest Mountain, Strider had brought them to this location. Nobody knew why they were there, but it seemed to be Strider's final destination."Sir Strider?" Saber implored when he received no response.Finally, Strider put down his binoculars and said, "Mount Shangspar's volcano has erupted, and the mechanism inside the meteorites should've been activated by now. Sir Draco is currently there."Saber looked puzzled. Navia was several countries away from Shangspar, so how did Strider know all that through the chaos?"What do you mean, sir? What's going on? What are we even doing here?" Saber asked, not understanding Strider's motives.Strider replied, "We're here to find something.""What is it, sir?""The Timewinder.""The Timewinder?"Strider nodded solemnly and explained, "When my grandfather was still alive, he told me a story about the

Adrian and Rozi stood before the coffin. The volcanic eruption had melted the ice, revealing the coffin frozen within. The pair carefully examined the crystal coffin with strange runes engraved on it, not a very unusual sight after everything they had witnessed."Where have I seen this before?" Adrian ran his fingers along the runes. Rozi recognized the patterns. "These runes are from my country! They're usually used on our totems.""Nicholas had mentioned that Mount Shangspar was the burial place for some Partingians. Adrian turned to Rozi and asked, "Do you know who this Partingian is?"Rozi, her gaze still on the coffin, felt something pulling her toward it. She gathered her courage and said, "I can't tell who it is without opening it." She glanced at Adrian, seeking his approval.Adrian agreed with a nod and instructed Rozi to step back. "Okay, let's open it and take a look. Stand back. Nicholas was once hurt by something inside a coffin, so whatever is inside is probably som

Adrian was utterly shocked."Dragonking? How is this possible? Didn’t the Gost Emperor kill him? What's he doing here?" Adrian said in disbelief."He was, and that was right before I fell into deep sleep. I have no idea how he ended up here.""Where was his corpse kept?""There was none. The emperor chained him up and threw him into an alchemical furnace after killing him, which is why I never expected him to be in here." Adrian fell silent. If Rozi was right, Dragonking should have been reduced to ashes, so what was he doing inside this coffin? There were two possibilities—either Rozi was lying, or the person in the coffin was indeed Dragonking. Given their history, Adrian was sure that Rozi would not lie, which meant that the person in the casket was truly Dragonking."According to your memories, there should be nothing left of Dragonking. Yet he's now here in this coffin. Is this a coincidence or an orchestrated plan?" Adrian contemplated all the possibilities.Rozi inhaled
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1845
Now, Adrian was faced with his biggest question, and Dragonking's appearance became a major point of the matter. Neither of the pair knew what Dragonking had experienced or whether he was still alive or not. If he was, would his existence spell disaster for the world or would he bring hope to it? These were distinct issues, each with varying outcomes. Rozi asked, "What should we do now?"Dragonking's appearance made Adrian and Rozi feel uneasy. They could not even determine if this was the same Dragonking they knew.Adrian remained silent for a very long time. He knew he could not allow the corpse to be left unattended in their current situation. He needed to know whether this Dragonking was the same one from Gostia and whether he was still alive."We don't have the luxury to dwell on him right now. We have to seal his coffin and revisit the issue once we get out of Partingia.""All right, let's do that."After all, Dragonking was not their prime objective. Their goal right now

Bam! Bam! Bam!Cracks began to appear on the ice. As the pair continued to hit the ice, the area surrounding the coffin began to sink in, but the coffin remained stationary. A giant hole was being made.Rozi said in delight, "You're right, Adrian. The area beneath the coffin is hollow. You’re such a genius!”Adrian smiled.Now that they had determined that the area beneath the coffin was hollow, there was hope for them to locate the Partingian ruins."The lava melted a lot of the ice, so it isn't as thick as it used to be. Otherwise, we’d never break through this. This should be the place Dragonking was buried. If he has any connection to Partingia, we should be able to find Partingia's entrance underneath," Adrian said."Let's hurry up and get down there then."Seeing Rozi’s eagerness to proceed, Adrian nodded, and both of them leaped down. They descended for about fifty meters and landed on a rocky surface. This underground space was vastly different from the icy landscape abo

"This is a Partingian-style altar. This was done by my people," Rozi said."It's a meteorite," Adrian noted after observing the altar a little.Rozi was initially puzzled but then noticed the resemblance between the altar and the meteorites. The stones embedded in the heads of the monsters and the altar's material were similar, but the altar did not have those strange runes engraved on it."It does look like meteorites that have been forged and shaped to make this altar. After the Gost emperor was sealed away, the Partingians used the meteorites to do this after I fell into a deep sleep," Rozi said in astonishment.Adrian surveyed the area and commented, “And it's not just the altar. I've also noticed that Dragonking's coffin is made from meteorites as well, and so is everything in here. This is a literal meteorite crater."Rozi was stunned by this revelation. She began observing her surroundings closely. Aside from the wall paintings, she had not noticed anything peculiar. Given

"The truth is that the meteorites originated from here, from Partingia!" Adrian exclaimed as his eyes flew open and fixed on Rozi. He was absolutely certain about his deduction.Rozi stepped back several paces, disbelief all over her face. "H-How's that possible? How could Partingia be the source of the meteorites? I lived here for decades. I would’ve known.”"Do you not age because the emperor forced you to take those elixirs you made? Did you verify this?""The emperor consumed those elixirs himself.""And what did the emperor turn into? If the elixirs were the source of your eternal youth, you should've become something like the emperor after ingesting the meteorite elixirs, but nothing like that happened.“Also, you developed a cure for the worms. How did you derive that cure? The raw ingredients you used probably originated from Partingia, am I right? Before returning to Enigma, you visited Partingia and met with your father, didn't you?” Adrian inquired.Rozi nodded. "You'r

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
