When Sean woke up, he found the shrine already destroyed with no signs of Marissa in the basement. Overwhelmed with desperation, he cried out for Marissa and ran to the riverside where he had died, searching for her."Marissa!"Marissa!“Marissa! Where are you?"Sean called out repeatedly, his face wet with tears. He could not bear the thought of Marissa leaving him. To make matters worse, Marissa was blind. Sean had no idea how far she could have gotten without him.Suddenly, a loud cry came from the sky. Sean looked up to see a large mighty eagle soaring overhead. Overcome with grief, he knelt on the ground, screaming toward the sky to vent his overwhelming emotions."Sean!" a voice suddenly called out. Sean whipped around to see Marissa, transforming from her eagle form into her human form. She stood by the river and watched him quietly."Marissa!" Sean shouted and ran toward her frantically. He stumbled and tripped a few times but continued to approach her. Finally, he emb

Sean dragged Marissa to his home. He then pressed her by the shoulders into a chair.Annoyed, Marissa said, "Ow, you're hurting me. What are you doing?" "I need you to tell me what happened, Marissa. How were your eyes cured? I heard from others that eighteen years have passed. What happened? You're all grown up now. You're so different from before that I almost didn't recognize you."Taking a deep breath, Marissa replied, "It’s all thanks to you, Sean. We wouldn't have won if not for you.”"Me? What do you mean we’ve won? I heard that Sir Draco and Sir Dominus fought that person on top of Mount Regent and that we were saved after he was killed. They're also saying that a mighty eagle appeared in the sky."Sean recounted the stories he had heard over the past month, stories that had spread throughout Navia."Were they referring to this?"Marissa transformed into a mighty eagle, her wings almost bursting through the walls of the house. Shocked, Sean stumbled and fell to the grou

Nova glared at Adrian, but he merely spread his hands in helplessness. "You guys go ahead and enjoy yourselves. You all deserve it,” he said."Fine. I won't make you go since you have official duties to tend to. But promise me you'll take me and Mother there when you have the time." "I will, I promise." Adrian smiled. ***The next day, Adrian went to Novemton and arrived in the morning. With many structures being rebuilt, Novemton looked vastly different from during the disaster. The city had also planned out an additional shrine named “Steel Shrine.”This place was built in memory of Steel, and the first thing Adrian did when he arrived in Novemton was visit the shrine and reminisce over his former comrade. Only after that did he visit Navia Palace."Your Majesty, Sir Draco has arrived," Hugh reported to Crystal in the main office.Crystal got up to welcome Adrian, who had just entered. "Long time no see, Crystal," Adrian greeted with a smile.Crystal felt bittersweet wh

After the talk with Crystal, Adrian headed to a few more places to meet a few old friends. At night, he headed home to Swallowston.***Life was peaceful over the next few days. Adrian spent his days in Swallowston with Samantha, Gloria, and the others. He also took Nova out with him to have some fun every so often. A month later, the monument along Evercrest Mountain and Geras City's railway was finished, commemorating the hundred thousand soldiers who had sacrificed themselves. Scenes of the battle were depicted on the monument’s surface, and the structure stretched from Evercrest to thirty kilometers outside Geras. The monument was named the Evercrest Monument, and it attracted a large crowd of visitors upon its completion.Early one day in Swallowston, after learning of the completion of the Evercrest Monument, Adrian said, "Nova, let's go somewhere special today."Nova agreed. After informing Samantha, they left the house. Adrian and Nova drove to Evercrest Mountain and ar

The pair then arrived at the top of Evercrest Mountain. "Nova.""Yes, Father?"Adrian pointed toward the Evercrest Mountain camp and said, "That's where the camp is. More than twenty years ago, the Excenomers and four nations in the outlands came together to invade our borders. At the time, I sent out a team of vanguards to take control of this mountain and make it our base. After we won, we established this outpost. Do you see that sentry tower behind the camp?""I see it." "Do you know how it came about?""Yes, I do. Thunderstorm was the one who built it so that his men could keep a lookout for Excenomer activity at all times. After all, our nation’s moat is just a hundred meters away from the tower. "There's a dragon head statue at the top of the tower called Dragon's Gate. It's meant to be the entrance into Navia, and the men guarding this base were all ready to sacrifice themselves to protect our country from invaders."Nova had read about all these in books. Adrian s

A deep sound resonated throughout the camp as a huge screen at the square played a scene of a hundred thousand soldiers departing for their mission. Although these soldiers were paid actors, their acting was so superb that coupled with the music and scenery, the visitors felt as though they were watching the real scene.Adrian stood quietly in the crowd, unrecognizable to those around him. Nova teared up, her heart stirred by the scene. She had heard stories from Steel about the hundred thousand soldiers and how Geras would have been destroyed if not for them. Without Geras, they would not have located the Godkey. And without the Godkey, none of what they were enjoying at that moment would be possible. "Father..." Nova softly said as she grabbed Adrian's wrist.Adrian glanced at her and replied, "Let's keep moving." Nova nodded, and the pair left the camp to walk along the railway.On one side of the railway tracks were stone steles, each boosting the engravings of a soldier

“Mr. Steel taught me so many things I can't even begin to count them." Adrian calmly replied, "I'm going to teach you one more thing today. I want you to remember it for the rest of your life, understand?""Yes, Father. I promise I'll remember it forever." "Human potential is limitless. Everything you experience will become the tools you need to succeed in the future. No matter what sort of disaster befalls us, remember that there is hope as long as you're alive." "Yes, Father," Nova answered firmly.Adrian affectionately patted Nova's hair and continued along the railway.By evening, they reached the end of the monument. A kilometer away from the end stood a visitor’s center that provided accommodations, transportation, and a cafeteria.After walking all morning and afternoon, Adrian said, "You must be hungry by now. Let's grab a bite. We can head back in the evening.” "Okay."He led Nova to the visitor’s center which was crowded with resting tourists. The pair headed tow

Adrian smiled wryly. "Unlike Strider, Rozi and I have gotten old and are no longer the people we used to be.""But aren't you two the same as Strider? Weren't you two transformed by the meteorite?""Activating the Apex Obelisk sparked super radiation from the meteorites, and it killed the mutated cells inside our bodies. I'm actually doing pretty well myself, but Rozi is much, much older than I am.”"You can't be serious. She looked so beautiful though.""She's actually from twelve hundred years ago. Theoretically, she shouldn't be here. That's why after her mutated cells were killed, her metabolism sped up and her cells started aging. The truth is, there's another reason why I've brought you here aside from wanting you to see the Evercrest monument." Nova asked, "What is it, Father?""Rozi doesn’t have much time left. She probably won’t make it past half a year if we don't find a way to stop her cells from aging.""But the Timewinder has been destroyed. Can we still save her?"

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
