The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1988
The old beggar wept bitterly. Though much time had passed, the experience of being hunted was dreadful. He had suffered so much, but now, all of his defenses crumbled after hearing that Adrian was on his side. "I can finally die without regrets now, my friend!" the beggar cried."Why didn't you return to Navia? I'm sure an expert such as yourself would be highly sought after there," Marissa asked curiously. "I'm too embarrassed to return. I shouldn't have believed in others so easily. Instead, I should've killed that liar a long time ago."Claude was surprised. Indeed, Debonaire was a prosperous place, attracting many with its fame and making them believe it was a land of treasures."Come to my place, sir. I'll beat up anyone who dares disrespect you," Claude urged."You're unfit to be my apprentice!" the old beggar retorted angrily, upset about his stolen formula, for which he received not even a word of thanks.Claude looked to Adrian for help, hoping the latter would interv

'War Legate Draco?' Claude shivered in fear, unable to comprehend why Adrian would be called as such."Are you sure you've recognized the correct person?" he asked skeptically.Adrian's mouth twitched. He helped Lionel up and calmly said, "We're all ordinary people here in Debonaire who’ve been forced to start over. There's no need for you to act this way."Lionel insisted as he was convinced of Adrian's heroic deeds. He firmly held the latter's hands. "You’ll forever be a hero in my eyes!" Adrian felt bewildered.Rozi smiled and said, "I heard that you're a prestigious man yourself, Lionel. We admire and respect you, but I'm really hungry right now. Do you think we can get moving?""She's right, sir. We should get to the Medicis Manor. I'd love to hear more about War Legate Draco's stories,” Claude insisted."Let's go!" Lionel beamed, treating Claude with newfound warmth. "We can have a long chat. I'll make it worth your while."Adrian scratched his nose sheepishly and looked

"He has depression," Lionel stated indifferently, no longer wanting to even glance at Diavolo. "Just look at the state he's in. I would've rammed myself against a wall and killed myself if I were him.""Haha!" Claude laughed. "It is indeed rare to find a person with depression in this day and age. Even I myself have never come across such a case." "Excellent. You can conduct your research on him. I'll guide you, and old fart, I guarantee you'll be completely cured."Diavolo refused. "I'm not ill, just a bit troubled. I came out for some fresh air, and I'm not going to let you use me to make yourselves famous.""Whatever!" Lionel grabbed Claude's hand and dismissively said, "Let's leave him be since he doesn't want our help."Claude, intrigued but confused, recognized Diavolo's voice but could not recall where he had heard it before. "Am I suffering from memory loss at such a young age?" "Don't think about it then. Come on. Let's walk faster and hope that we get rid of him along

Rozi suddenly realized that the old man in front of her was not Diavolo, but the leader of Ivory Cloud. She thanked her lucky stars for being rude to him earlier. The man who had cat-called Marissa promptly knelt beside Kyril. His face went pale as he said, "We were only joking, sir.""You rascals!" Diavolo almost fainted from anger. He had intended to hide his identity, but all of that was over now. "How in the world did I even become your father's friend?"The man panicked. "I'm sorry, sir! My father will die from a heart attack if he knows what I've done!""Forget it, and get out of my sight. I'll pretend I've never seen any of you." Diavolo waved at them, looking unhappy.As Kyril and the other man backed off, they respectfully said to Adrian, "We’re sorry!" Diavolo added, "How's your father's condition by the way? Why hasn't he hired a doctor to take a look at him yet?""He has," the man replied, "He was badly injured, and it took us too long to get him treated, so the do

Diavolo seemed a lot more mature when he was drunk, but would revert to being a naive old fool when he sobered up."I have no clue,” Adrian answered.Rozi was startled, thinking Adrian's reply was really strange. However, she noticed someone was walking their way and realized that was not the time to discuss such matters.Instead, she smiled at the middle-aged man and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask where Arlo Archer's house is?""Who's asking?" the middle-aged man holding a hoe asked.Rozi was stumped, but it was Marissa who smiled and said, "I'm a friend of Winston’s. We heard that his father's not feeling well and have come to visit him.""You're lying. Winston would never befriend lowlives like you lot," the middle-aged man retorted as he sized up the trio.Marissa was instantly rendered speechless. She looked to Adrian, hoping he would be able to try something.Adrian merely smiled and asked, "Arlo, I presume?”"That's right. Why are you all here?"Maintaining his kind tone

‘He's not that hopeless after all.’ Adrian felt a surge of joy, appreciating the change in attitude. He was about to help the man up when Diavolo suddenly intervened, "Let him kneel for a while."Adrian was now in an awkward situation. It turns out Arlo was not on his knees because of Adrian, but because of Diavolo. Seeing this, he quickly stepped back, feeling displeased.Diavolo then took Adrian's hand and said, "You truly are my lucky charm, Adrian. You've helped me see the true colors of the deceitful people around me."Adrian was utterly frustrated. Diavolo, always appearing naive and foolish in front of him, was now handling the situation with such cunningness."We're hungry, so we'll be leaving now. You two go ahead and take all the time you need," Adrian said. Arlo looked up. "Please come to my place. We'll drink till the next morning’s sun.""I like the sound of that. It's been a while since I had a drink of your brew." Diavolo smiled happily, seeming to have forgotte

Diavolo hooked his arm around Adrian's shoulder as they walked together. This made them seem very close, and it made Adrian suspicious. 'Something's definitely going on here,' he thought.The moment they entered Arlo's home, all of the maids were sent away, while the door was shut tight. Ophelia Puck, Arlo's wife, was the only one left to serve them.Arlo bowed deeply. "Adrian, I'm truly sorry for earlier. I didn’t want to hide any of this from you, but I had no other choice."Adrian stepped aside. Although they seemed of similar age, he was actually younger and felt it was inappropriate to accept such a bow."What’s going on here?" Adrian asked.Diavolo sighed. "Sylvas is being a tyrant at the moment. Many of my men in Ivory Cloud are now under his control, and I'm almost sidelined.""That's none of my business," Adrian retorted, "You two could have joined forces and driven him away, so why put on this charade?"Arlo quickly explained, "Originally, Ivory Cloud had four elders,

Adrian rolled his eyes. "I'm not part of Ivory Cloud. If I help you against him, it’ll only cause dissatisfaction among the other factions and destabilize Ivory Cloud's position.""Right." Diavolo inhaled deeply, agreeing with Adrian's rationale. "Sylvas is too cunning, and his wife is the daughter of Greenhurst's elder."Arlo fell silent. He had thought Adrian, being of lower status due to his skin color, could be easily used as a pawn and then disposed of after achieving their goals. But Adrian was not falling for it, and Arlo understood he could not afford to make an enemy out of Adrian. Even if they could not be friends, he needed Adrian to have nothing to do with their lives.Diavolo, sipping on his wine, said through clenched teeth, "Let's buy them off then. I refuse to believe that they won't listen to me." He looked at the thousand chrystals on the table and said, "Adrian, I'm currently spread a little thin. Consider this my investment in you. You can have Sylvas' place af

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 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
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
