The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2699
It had been three hours since they departed from Mudstone. The forest was dense with lush foliage, and he could hear various sounds of wild beasts and monsters. After another three hours of travel, Adrian and the group took a break in a clearing next to the Blood River.Adrian determined that Blade's Reach was located to the west of Mudstone. Similar to Mudstone, it was situated at the foot of the mountain. The Blood River seemed to flow down from the mountain. According to what Lyra said, the mountain was called Cloud Puff Mountain. Looking at the shape of the peak, the name made sense. Over half of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, giving the appearance that these clouds were expelled from the mountain itself.Elio walked up to Adrian, who had been sitting cross-legged by the Blood River. He sat beside him and asked, "What was the world you came from like, Adrian? Can you tell me more about it?"However, Adrian ignored him and continued to convert his Fight Force.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around to fight back. However, she was no match for Elio and failed to defend herself against his attack. As she watched in horror as Elio approached her, another figure appeared.Clank!The Divine Frost Slayer Blade clashed with Elio's sword. The two of them stepped back, leaving Lyra looking surprised and somewhat flustered.Elio looked at Lyra and frowned. "Why are you here?""I just wanna help!" Lyra replied."Help? Hah, do you think I'd believe that?" Elio said. He raised his longsword and charged at Lyra again.Adrian's face sank. His patience had worn thin. If it were not for his current weakened state, he would have killed Elio countless times by now. That being said, he could not allow Elio to kill Lyra.Raising the Hellblade and the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, Adrian lunged forward. After intercepting Elio's attack, he took two steps backward and came to Lyra's side.Elio intended to charge forward again, but this time, it was not A

Adrian sighed, asking, "Why did you follow us, Lyra?" "Because I'm worried about you," Lyra said. Adrian shook his head helplessly. "What does it have to do with you if something happens to me? Besides, the secret realm in the mountain is dangerous. Even with my help, the probability of your father coming back alive isn't high."He wanted to prepare Lyra for the worst, so he told her the truth. And as expected, Lyra's eyes welled up with tears."It's not just for my father. I don't want anything to happen to you either," Lyra said in a low voice. Adrian heard what she said but chose not to respond. "You're an idiot!" Lyra turned away. Adrian remained silent. Time was of the essence, and he was still only in the phenomena stage. Even though he had the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellblade with him, he did not have the confidence that he could take down Elio. After all, Elio's weapon was powerful too. After about ten minutes, the group finished their break. They stood up

Adrian chuckled and added, "Surprised?" The teenager was stunned. He squinted at Adrian and said in a deep voice, "So it's you! You're the one who stole the Lunar Edge!" Drawing his sword, the teenager seemed ready to attack Adrian.Lyra, standing next to Adrian, scowled and exclaimed, "Are you an idiot? Although Adrian is an outsider, he has nothing to do with the theft of your village’s possessions.""Hmph! I can't be sure of that!" With these words, he advanced toward Adrian.Despite Adrian' being more powerful than Lyra, she still instinctively shielded him. "Stop!" Lyra scolded the teenager with her hands on her hips. The teenager responded sternly, "Get out of my way if you don't want to die."Adrian closed his eyes, converting his Fight Force into Vital Energy. It was a lengthy process, but three days of training had yielded some results and unexpected gains.Boom!A sound echoed within Adrian's body, signaling a transformation perceptible only to him.‘So this is the
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2703
With one stroke, Adrian cleaved the teenager's sword into two. Both the teenager and Lyra were bewildered at the sight of the broken sword.The teenager who attempted to attack Adrian stared at him in disbelief. Then his eyes turned bloodshot, and he charged toward Adrian as if he had gone mad. However, armed with only a broken sword, he was no match for Adrian.Just as Adrian was about to deliver a fatal blow with the Hellblade, someone intervened. It was another mid-stage level eight. This made Adrian realize that someone had been aware of the situation. They simply chose not to interfere when Adrian was attacked. However, with Adrian attacking one of their own, the observer had to step in to prevent casualties among their people."How dare you!" After blocking Adrian's strike, the man glared at him. Adrian calmly responded, "If he intends to end my life, he should be ready to face the same fate."The man's face sank. However, he suppressed the urge to retaliate and turned to t

‘He seems to be provoking me to attack him, but what is his purpose?' Elio thought.Elio was right that Adrian was trying to provoke him into attacking him. With his strength slowly recovering, he had the confidence that he could deal with someone like Elio. Rather than waiting for Elio to act and putting himself in a passive position, Adrian preferred to provoke Elio now and find a way to swiftly defeat him. Although things might become complicated this way, at least he would resolve a troublesome matter."That's enough, Adrian!" Frederick shouted, "Follow me. From now on, fighting isn't allowed!" He turned and walked away.Elio cast a deep look at Adrian. From the peculiar pendant, he sensed that Adrian was his destined nemesis, but it seemed to him that getting rid of Adrian was not as easy as he had imagined. After all, Adrian was just an ordinary person without any Vital Energy when he first met him a few days ago. He might not even be able to defeat Lyra at that time, but Adri

"You seem a bit different from the information we received," the old man remarked. Adrian nodded and walked toward the room, responding as he moved, "People are always changing." The old man on the cushion shook his head. “So, why did you summon me, sir?""I summoned you just to see who you are”"That simple?" Adrian chuckled. "There is one other matter.”Similar to the other villagers, the chief had a sword at his waist. Placing it on the table, he stared at Adrian and asked solemnly, "What’s the current situation in the outside world?""The current situation? It's hard to say. Tell me, how many years ago did your people arrive in this place?" Adrian asked. "Two hundred and sixty-eight years ago," the chief answered. "At that time, the kingdom was on the brink of collapse and the feudal lords were at war with each other. The newer generation had not yet unified the world," Adrian murmured. "Exactly, but what does that have to do with my question?" the chief asked.
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2706
The other party was speaking to him as an equal. As someone who had long been in charge of the lives of everyone in the village, the chief naturally wouldn't be that approachable. But he was so down-to-earth toward Adrian, so naturally, it was somewhat intriguing.After descending the stairs, Frederick didn't ask Adrian what he and the chief had discussed. He simply took him to the accommodation that had been arranged. It was a thatched hut, seemingly hastily built. And there was only one room with extremely simple furnishings.After Adrian and Lyra settled in, the sky outside darkened."What should we do tomorrow?" Lyra, lying in bed, clutched her head, feeling worried."Don't worry. Nothing will happen." Adrian chuckled softly.Nothing would happen because his strength was rapidly improving. His efficiency in transforming Fight Force into Vital Energy was ever-increasing. In just three more days, he would be able to recover to the intermediate eighth level. By then, the only peo

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
