"You're right," Adrian replied, "But now’s not the time for sentimentality. We have to locate the explosives. It should be in the main hall."Johnny shook his head. He had searched the main hall extensively and had not found anything. Besides, the ground was fully granite. "But there's nothing there," he said. "Stand aside," Adrian said, knowing he could not rely on Johnny.Adrian lit the oil lamps in the main hall and looked upon a huge statue and some smaller ones. He found that the gold powder on them had been scraped off. They had reverted to their original muddy color and bore an aged appearance.Gritting his teeth, Johnny said, "How could that old geezer do this? It's outrageous!" "Find the explosives," Adrian growled in a displeased tone, "We're not out of danger yet. If you sense something wrong, run to me immediately. I'll get you out of here."Johnny was stunned. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Adrian to be willing to take him away at such a time. He dropp

And he had thought of lighting the wick earlier. They were standing in the corner of the main hall, away from the reach of the light. A quick glance would not have revealed the details of the statue. To see anything clearly, one would have needed to light the wick."Quick! Help me!" Adrian said."Okay!"Johnny walked over and lifted the pedestal while Adrian removed the ropes from the top.Suddenly, a roar echoed, "You’re a fool, Johnny. You've passed me countless times, yet you didn't notice anything!" Johnny held the explosives tightly as he hung his head low. He was too familiar with these statues, so he had not examined them closely. "Why didn't you call out then?" he argued."I have explosives in my hands!" Dieter said angrily, "It might’ve exploded at any time!"Adrian stared at Johnny, then noticed the explosives he held seemed to be releasing a crackling sound. He had a bad feeling about it and snatched it away. He then rushed toward the edge of the cliff and threw it

Noticing he had not felt any pain, Dieter slowly opened his eyes. When he felt the solid ground beneath him, he could not believe he was still alive."Are we not in hell right now?" he murmured.Adrian snapped a twig of an elm tree and held it to Dieter’s nose. "Can you smell this?"Dieter took a big whiff and a fragrant scent filled his nostrils. He instantly realized he was not dead. "How did you do that?" he asked in amazement."It's all thanks to this." Adrian removed the Shadow Clay from his feet and handed it to Dieter. "It can take me anywhere, up in the sky or down below."Dieter quickly stored it in his pocket and said, "This treasure now belongs to me. You wouldn’t mind, right?""I'd love to give it to you," Adrian playfully said, "But the Shadow Clay only recognizes me as its owner. It won't answer to anyone else." With a slight gesture, the Shadow Clay returned to his hand.Dieter touched his empty pocket, feeling a bit dejected. "Why don't good things happen to me?"

This was shocking news, and Adrian regretted coming here. He had just saved Dieter, but he did have to kill him now?"Is this true?" Adrian questioned."Ask him!" Arwen said angrily, "My life goal is to kill him. And I just failed again.”Adrian was a little skeptical. Dieter was alone now, but given his status and power, it should not have been an issue for him to have had a few wives. "Sir Dieter, could you explain?""Arwen’s telling the truth," Dieter said, "Yes, I killed my wife. That was because she was using the Sol Pills to harm people, causing many families to be destroyed. I'd rather see Ivory Cloud perish than have my hands stained with blood.""Did you hear that? He admitted it!" Arwen said, "Is it wrong for me to avenge my mother?"Adrian felt a headache coming on as things got more complicated."I don’t mind it if you want to kill me." Dieter shook from fury. "I can give you my life, but everyone else is innocent. Why do you want to kill them too?""Someone must'
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2149
Dieter lowered his head and remained silent. Adrian did not press further. After all, he had no interest in being a mediator, and this father and son should resolve the issues between them on their own."Haha!" Arwen laughed. "It’s all horsesh*t!" Dieter was infuriated. He looked up at Arwen sharply and said, “It’s not horsesh*t! Everything I've done aligns with my conscience!”"I believe you," Adrian said solemnly. If Dieter were a cruel person, Sylvas would not have succeeded in his plan.Arwen's face sank. His only home was now destroyed. Despite wanting to befriend Adrian, he found him standing on Dieter's side. "Why do you trust him?" he asked.When Adrian was about to explain, Dieter decisively said, "I'll tell you the truth. I had another reason for killing your mother. She was carrying someone else's child. Caroline isn't my daughter."Arwen and Adrian fell silent, and the latter opened his mouth to speak a few times, but he could not utter a single word. He was not a co

"He's at the foot of the cliff," Adrian said, using one hand to block Caroline's attempt to hug him. "Is Arwen your brother?"Bucky thought Adrian was joking. When they met, she and Arwen had pretended not to know each other. Caroline even said she wanted to become Arwen's apprentice. "What? That's impossible." Rozi found it difficult to believe as well. She had always thought Caroline was a naive and romantic girl. Even if she did something out of the line, she had never confronted her about it.Everyone turned to look at Caroline who had tears in her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and said, "I…""You like Sir Dieter very much, don’t you?" Adrian asked, gently rubbing Caroline's head.Caroline sniffled and took out a piece of parchment from her arms. It was covered in densely written small characters, and she handed it to Adrian. "This is my mother's dying message,” she explained.Adrian read it and found it was more or less what he expected. Caroline's mother had betrayed D

“Unless what?" Dieter asked curiously."Yeah, tell us, Sir Adrian. Stop beating around the bush," Arwen chimed in. Ever since he found out Shaquille had manipulated him, he wanted to do something for Ivory Cloud.Adrian was a little annoyed. He was not used to having Arwen call him Sir Adrian. He awkwardly said, "Can't you just call me Adrian?""I wish I could," Arwen said as he glanced at Dieter. Since Adrian was Dieter's friend and Dieter was his father, he felt that calling Adrian just by his name would be inappropriate and disrespectful."Ahem! Out with it, Adrian," Dieter urged. Adrian nodded. Turning to Caroline, he said calmly, "Unless you're willing to help, Caroline."Everyone sighed in disappointment when they heard what Adrian said. After all, everyone present was more capable than Caroline. She was a troublemaker, and she always caused more harm than good. Morton spoke up, "I don't think Ms. Caroline can help us in this situation. If you're thinking of using her be
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2152
He got someone to inform Shaquille to take Caroline back, but Shaquille did not show up even after three days. In the end, Dieter took Caroline in and raised her as his own daughter."Shaquille has a heart of stone.” Dieter sneered."No, he doesn’t," Adrian refuted. The reason he said so was because Shaquille had not dealt the final blow to Arlo when he was on his last breath. Arlo managed to make it to Medicis Manor mainly because of Caroline. "I don't believe that Shaquille is heartless.""He isn’t worthy of being called a human!" Arwen interjected. When he had learned the truth, he went to confront Shaquille. He never expected Shaquille to look at him disdainfully and nearly kill him.Caroline lowered her head. Feeling her hatred toward Shaquille growing, she wished she could make him not her father. Every time she thought about him, she felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.Adrian approached Caroline and said, "The reason Arlo made it to Medicis Manor was because

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
