Dieter burst into tears again, leaving Adrian flustered. Adrian, having blurted out his offer without thinking, quickly said, "Please stop crying. I shouldn't have interfered in your family matters."Dieter grabbed Adrian, tears still on his face. "You have to keep your promise and help me!" "But..." Adrian was utterly baffled, wondering why Dieter was crying even more than a woman usually did.Dieter quickly explained, "These are tears of joy. Finally, someone's willing to help me solve my problems. I'm on cloud nine right now. Well then, I'm leaving them in your care.""But I'll use force on them. They may not be able to handle it," Adrian stated bluntly.Dieter steeled himself. He thought everything would be fine as long as they remained alive. "Do whatever you wish,” he said.Caroline then appeared at the kitchen door. "Father, do you hate me or something?""Of course not," Dieter replied cheerily, "You're my precious little daughter, but I've already promised to let him

Dieter put down the wine bottle and removed the cracked crystal pendant around his waist and fixed it to Adrian’s belt.“Here. It's yours for the time being." He chuckled. "Return it to me when I wake up. That shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"Adrian was repulsed by the pendant. “But I don’t want it.”“Just keep it safe for me,” Dieter insisted, making sure it was securely attached. Johnny, witnessing this, was stunned and silent.Caroline objected, “Father! That's the symbol of Ivory Cloud’s leader! How could you give it to someone else so casually?!"Dieter, already drunk, collapsed on the table, oblivious to Caroline's protest.Adrian was shocked by this responsibility suddenly thrust upon him. He had no intention of becoming Ivory Cloud's leader. “What the hell is all this?” he grumbled.“What are your orders, sir?” Caroline said, bowing deeply in respect. Johnny followed suit, albeit reluctantly. “Sir, my only request is that you punish Sylvas. You can’t let him g

The men exchanged glances. They were all fighters who were unwilling to do such menial chores. Yet, they dared not disobey Adrian's command and reluctantly set about their task.The bald man, Sylvas' confidant, had returned and was blending in among the men. "How did he become our leader?" “Beats me! Maybe our leader has gone senile. It's just preposterous to hand over the pendant to someone else so casually."Baldy was frustrated. 'Dieter's becoming more senile by the day. Last time, he had me play a children's game with him and almost laughed his head off because of it.' He then asked, "Do you think Sir Dieter is faking it?""I don't think so. I think he's actually sick. He's been behaving more and more outrageously recently."Baldy almost laughed out loud, thinking how Sylvas would soon be able to become their leader at this rate. When that happened, Baldy would not have to grovel like a lowlife in front of Johnny.“Hahaha!” he laughed, unable to contain his excitement, w

"I can't do that.""Anyone who thinks they’re up for the task, step forth.” Adrian looked over the men in black. "Whoever does shall become the deputy leader of this mountain."Everyone became elated when they heard this. They knew that the fact that Adrian was following Dieter around and appreciated by the latter meant that he was of a much higher status than everyone else. "I'll do it.""No, I’ll do it!”"I promise to handle the task thoroughly.”Adrian looked at the previous man in black, whose face was now pale, and said, "You should learn who's the boss here."The man in black was confused by this and was not able to read between the lines for a moment. He only understood what happened when Johnny explained it to him, and he even got an earful."You idiot! I asked you to stir everyone's rage, yet you ended up getting stirred by the new guy! You absolute fool!" "Oh? You asked him to do that, huh? You're already in the hot seat, yet you were hoping to become everyone's le

Adrian fell into deep thought. He usually disdained those who liked to tattle and saw them as disloyal. But right now, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction inside.Meanwhile, Sans was nervous. Adrian and Sylvas were at odds, so this idea should pique Adrian’s interest. But yet, Adrian was silent.Sans wondered if he had read Adrian wrong and asked, "Did I say something wrong, sir?" "No, you haven't. However, I dislike resorting to tricks and prefer to be open and straightforward when dealing with problems. Let's not threaten anyone this time around."Sans agreed while inwardly questioning his life choices. He had been playing both sides, ready to switch allegiances depending on who had the upper hand. Thus, Adrian's straightforwardness left him at a loss for words."How will you deal with Sylvas then?" Sans asked.Adrian frowned. "Do you even hear what you're saying? He's a member of Ivory Cloud, so of course, he will receive the just punishment for his errors."Sans was utt

Sylvas decided that maybe being a bystander was not a bad idea.Caroline, who despised Adrian, only wanted to see the latter fail. "Ivory Cloud will be yours to command so long as you're willing to help, Sylvas."Sans panicked. It was clear that Caroline was seeking revenge for personal reasons, which made it difficult for him to decide who he should be helping. The bald man was confused too. He thought Caroline was here to pick a fight, yet it seemed like she was asking for help.The bald man whispered, "Sans, come here!" "What?" "Did you and Caroline get into a fight on your way over here?""No, we were sent by the new leader. He says he wants Sylvas to receive his punishment and that we should remain harmonious since we're a family." Sans added in that last bit, thinking this reflected Adrian's thoughts.The bald man frowned. "Is that man touched in the head? Why would anyone even listen to him?" Sans was embarrassed. Adrian was indeed a fool in these matters that could
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1979
Although slightly frightened, Sans did not want to give up just like that. Adrian might be a fool, but he acted honorably. Because of this, Sans decided to take a chance. Casting aside his usual timid image, Sans straightened his back. "Taking the roc’s core was a huge mistake on your part, Sylvas, but Adrian is willing to forgive you. You should appreciate this opportunity and accept your punishment."'What?! He took the roc's core?!' Caroline was stunned.The roc had been Caroline’s closest friend, and to learn that Sylvas had taken the bird’s core tormented her. She could not hide the murderous intent on her face and no longer wished to cooperate with Sylvas.She grasped her sword. “You took the roc’s core, Sylvas?”“Yes,” Sylvas admitted without hesitation. “What's the big deal? It's just a core.”Caroline’s desire for revenge flared up, and it left Sans startled. He thought that Caroline was a huge fool and that challenging Sylvas’ group with just the two of them was a mist

"Just try and stand, Ms. Caroline! Please!" Sans pleaded. Then and there, Sans decided to keep his distance from Caroline in the future. After all, anyone who followed her was doomed, even if they were on the verge of success. Caroline finally straightened her legs and realized she could stand up. Embarrassed, she scolded, "This is all your fault, Sans! You chose to cower away rather than stand at the forefront! I'm telling Adrian about this!" "Suit yourself!" Sans was thoroughly angered, contemplating leaving Ivory Cloud for good as staying seemed like a complete waste of time.Dejected, the two headed back up the mountain. Caroline did not mention the roc again. She understood her life was more precious than even the best pet, and she had just narrowly escaped death."I seriously need to focus on my training," Caroline mumbled to herself.Sans snorted in disdain. Then, spotting Adrian in the distance, Sans felt bitter and turned to leave. However, Caroline held him back.

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?

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
