The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2704
‘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 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

"That sound has always echoed throughout Cloud Puff Mountain? How foolish!" Adrian narrowed his eyes.He could now confirm that this mountain, or rather this place, was related to the ancient dragons. He even suspected that ancient dragons still existed in this place. He understood why the people of Celestria had brought Thalia to such a place. It was definitely related to the dark dragon inside her body."You’re calling me foolish? Do you, an outsider, know the true source of this sound?" "Hehe! Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!" "Silence!" Just as Adrian and Elio were exchanging words in whispers, Frederick suddenly turned serious and shouted at them.Lyra instinctively tightened her grip on Adrian's arm.Adrian frowned. They were still at the foot of Cloud Puff Mountain, and they hadn't even reached the core area, but it seemed extremely dangerous here."Be careful!" someone warned in a low voice, and vibrations suddenly spread.Adrian looked up, and his eyes

"Those Blade's Reach villagers aren’t too shabby. They didn't abandon us and even helped distract the monster away from us," Lyra said, patting her chest.Adrian shook his head slightly. That wasn't their intention. The behavior of that giant bird was a little strange. It hadn’t launched a full-scale attack. Otherwise, a seventh-level monster wouldn't have let Adrian and Lyra escape so easily.Indeed, as Adrian had expected, after the two of them left, Frederick and the others barely managed to hold on. The giant bird suddenly stopped flapping its wings and landed on a nearby boulder.It was a strange bird with the appearance of a falcon, standing at a height of sixty to seventy meters, which was astonishing. Its gaze swept around and stopped at one person. That person subconsciously looked down at the sword hanging from his waist, his expression somewhat unnatural. There was a conspicuous ancient pattern of a falcon on the scabbard of his sword.Frederick turned to look at that pe

"Let's go. We need to find them."The group of about twenty people continued to move forward. According to the agreement with Adrian earlier, they needed to head West. However, after walking for a while, Frederick's expression turned somewhat grim."Are they asking for death? Playing tricks at a time like this…" Elio grumbled discontentedly.For them, the current situation was already very clear. Adrian had escaped with the girl. Otherwise, with their speed, they should have caught up with Adrian by now. But since they hadn't found him yet, it meant that the pair hadn't followed the agreed plan of waiting after escaping the bird's attack range."Search around nearby but don't go too far," Frederick instructed.The others looked dissatisfied. They had come out to find the Lunar Edge but unexpectedly encountered the terrifying bird monster just as they entered the mountain. And now, they had to turn back to search for Adrian and Lyra. Anyone in this situation would be unhappy.Only

“I’ve found you!"Adrian heard the sound of human activity nearby. He had been observing Elio for some time now. Since both of them were at the initial stage of level eight, Adrian, although aware that Elio couldn't kill him, was still very cautious and observed Elio carefully to prevent any accidents. He even investigated Elio's walking habits and mannerisms.On the other side, Elio naturally sensed human activity nearby too. He knew for sure it wasn't his companions. The previous twenty people each had their own designated area within a one-kilometer radius to search for Adrian. This was fixed, so when human activity was detected nearby, it was clear that Adrian had appeared."You've been waiting for me!" Elio sneered.When Adrian walked out of the rainforest with Lyra, Elio also appeared in a clearing ahead. He squinted, staring at Adrian and Lyra with murderous intent.Adrian smiled. He was very familiar with this kind of gaze. It was the look of a beast staring at a human. Ad
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2711
Both sides seemed prepared to perish together. Since they had reached this level, their understanding of fighting was beyond comparison to ordinary people. Whether it was Adrian or Elio, both knew that there was a subtle gap in their abilities. This gap was reflected in various details, such as speed and slight differences in strength. Despite being at the same rank, their strengths were not identical.However, Elio was confident in himself. He believed that he could kill Adrian even in his current state. As for Adrian, there was no suspense in this matter. During the earlier confrontation, he had already judged his opponent's strength. Since he already knew the opponent's strength, this life-and-death battle was a certain victory for him because he had already calculated the outcome. Whether in strength or speed, he had the upper hand.Elio didn't know this, and neither did Lyra.Lyra, who was watching from the sidelines, had her eyes wide open. Various expressions crossed her face

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
