The Return of the War Legate   Chapter 2816
After carefully observing for a while, Emma found that Adrian was genuinely repairing the dragon soul. She did not know how she was doing this, but since they werenât doing anything suspicious, she just watched them."How could this be?" Thalia muttered in disbelief.Other than the Mighty Net, Thalia also sensed two terrifying energies in its dragon soul. They were altering its dragon soul."No! You can't do this!" Thalia shouted when she realized that something was wrong.Although Adrian had mentioned earlier that Thalia had no say in the current situation, it still felt a deep sense of crisis. Acting on instinct, it stood up from the mat and ran to the side.Thalia ran toward Emma, wanting to tell Emma what Adrian was doing to it. It wanted Emma to find Alistair so that he would intervene and stop Adrian. But as soon as she caught sight of Adrian's gaze and the pair of swords in his hands, Thalia froze."What's happening?" Emma asked sternly.Thalia gulped nervously and said,

"A deal?" Emma was puzzled.Adrian continued, "Here's the deal. I'll help you regain your strength and get you out of this place. In returnââ"Don't agree with him! He's using you!" Thalia interrupted.Clank!Adrian swung his sword, creating a deep mark on the ground near Thalia's feet. "It seems you really have a death wish." He sneered.While Emma was still processing the situation, Adrian continued, "Think about it. The reason Thalia refuses is that it doesn't want to give up its pure dragon identity. But you? You're currently just a useless person. What else do you have to consider?""You'll help me regain my power and get me out of here? Whatâs the outside world like?" Emma asked.Adrian chuckled. He knew that Emma would accept the deal. Thalia knew Emma would agree to Adrian's proposal too. However, it would rather die than let Adrian use those two auras to alter its soul. Therefore, it turned and ran. Adrian did not stop it, but someone else did."Let go of me!" Thal

The dark dragon would become neither a human nor a dragon. Its soul would be tainted with unending violence and a ghostly aura. But now that Emma had turned against her, the situation was entirely under Adrian's control. There was nothing it could do to stop Adrian. On top of that, the three chiefs and villagers were unaware of what was happening.Over the next two days, Adrian used the energies from the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellblade to repair and modify Thalia's dragon soul. During this time, Thalia remained in a state of semi-consciousness, as the changes in its dragon soul had caused it to lose control of its body.During its slumber, Thalia had numerous dreams. Some took it to battlefields in otherworldly realms, where vast armies clashed in a gruesome spectacle, and it found these scenes horrifying even though it was accustomed to considering humans as insignificant.When Thalia locked gazes with a general in black armor, it felt as if its soul was trembling. When it

"Just one more day?" Adrian looked down at Thalia and shook his head. "What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Emma asked worriedly. Since the day Emma made her choice two days ago, she had slowly opened her heart. She unleashed her yearning for freedom that had been suppressed for countless years. Therefore, she stood on Adrian's side and wanted to help him. After all, only if his plan succeeded could she regain her strength and leave this place.The challenges they faced now were nothing compared to Lyraâs. After all, he did not know how much time she would need. But since he had decided to buy time for her, he had no choice but to continue with his plan."I'll repair your soul tonight, but you need to be mentally prepared for the changes that might happen to you," Adrian said."Changes? What kind of changes? Will I still be me?" Emma asked nervously."That depends on what Thalia turns into after it wakes up tonight," Adrian said. Emma turned to look at Thalia, who looked dirty and

When the dragon emerged in the sky, the commotion on the battlefield came to a halt. Thalia soared above the clouds and looked down. The people below raised their heads, their expressions filled with shock and fear.Even though Thalia knew this was just a dream, it felt a great sense of satisfaction in fulfilling its vanity. It observed its transformed body and realized that it was different from before. It knew that it did not belong to any kind of true dragon in history in its current state. Thalia was a little aggrieved. Perhaps it had truly become a hybrid dragon now. Not only that, but it still did not have a physical body. The more it thought about it, the angrier it became. "Adrian! This is all your fault! And those three old men!" Thalia erupted in anger. It lowered its head and stared at the masses below. "Even if I'm a hybrid dragon, you ants shouldn't offend me!"Thalia knew this was a dream, so it acted without restraint. Soaring down from the sky, it unleashed an att

The howling wind swept past Thalia's ears. Although Adrian was standing far from it, the distance between them seemed mere inches for it. In its opinion, dragons were masters of the sky. âI'm going to kill you, Adrian!" Thalia shouted angrily as it unleashed the dissatisfaction it harbored. Just as it charged, it saw him suddenly laughing."An ant like you dares to dream of killing me? Ridiculous." Adrian sneered.Unsheathing the Divine Frost Slayer Blade from his waist, he swung it above Thalia's head. The sword's radiance covered the entire battlefield for countless kilometers. Even Thalia seemed insignificant compared to the brilliance of the sword in its dragon form.Thalia abruptly halted its charge and closed its eyes. When it opened them again, it found darkness all around. Its once crimson-gold dragon eyes had turned black, and it had lost its vision.A profound sense of fear overwhelmed Thalia. It instinctively tried to turn away, only to realize it was enveloped by the
The Return of the War Legate   Chapter 2822
âAnd what now?" Adrian looked at Thalia with a half-smile.Looking at Adrian triumphantly, Thalia said, "Not only has my strength been restored, but I've also become even stronger! Even those three old guys are no match for me!""And?" Adrian asked again."So, it's time for you to die!" Thalia shouted as it lunged at Adrian. Adrian fell silent for a moment when he saw Thalia charging at him with its dragon claw. Just when he drew his swords, Thalia suddenly stopped, and its face became pale with fear. Thaliaâs expression flitted between horror and surprise as it looked at Adrian.Adrian refrained from taking action, and Emma stood up. She watched Thalia cautiously and asked, "What happened to it?" "I don't know, but I'm curious about what it dreamed about," Adrian replied and shook his head.Several minutes passed, and Thalia calmed down. It suddenly burst into laughter and approached Adrian with a somewhat fawning smile. "Calm down now. I was just joking with you.""Just jok

"Hah, you killed me and left an imprint on my soul in the dream. I can't lay a hand on you anymore.""An imprint?" Adrian asked."Exactly. Unless I can remove the imprint, I won't oppose you in the future," Thalia continued, lowering its head. Adrian nodded. He was surprised that the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellbalde had such effects."What's your current strength?" he asked."I'm a lot stronger now, but this body is weak. I can probably only hold off one chief as long as they don't unleash their ultimate power."Thalia was withholding some information. While it was indeed stronger now and its power was still formidable despite the limitations imposed by Thaliaâs body, it could likely handle two chiefs on its own.Adrian nodded and then turned to Emma. "It's your turn now."Having overheard the conversation, Emma sighed and asked, "Am I going to experience the same thing as it? Not daring to disobey your orders after a dream?"Thalia shook her head and said, "That shoul

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 onâthis 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 longerâgiving 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 Adrianâs 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 returnâa 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 expertâor perhaps someone of the Multiply Stageâmight 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 vendettasâeliminating 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 affordâhe'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 beforeânow 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 obstacleâit was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
