The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2882
Adrian responded casually, "It’s just a ghost playing tricks."The woman in the white nightgown became even more nervous upon learning this. As she fled, she had been stumbled a few times, so her nightgown was now dirty. With a frightened expression, she sat down on a nearby chair.The incident in the lower deck spread quickly among all the passengers, and over five hundred people gathered in the lower deck hall. Even the previously impatient leader of the lower deck crew came out of his room, accompanied by more than a dozen other crew members.The crew members looked deathly anxious. After some investigation, they confirmed that there was indeed a ghost. They hadn’t believed Alfie’s group’s story earlier, but now at least dozens had seen the floating woman's head. Even if they didn't want to admit it, there was no way around it.A person clad in a white uniform, the one who came to Adrian’s room earlier, approached Adrian. "Your name’s Adrian, right? You drove away the ghost earl
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2883
Anthony didn’t even spare Adrian, who was standing beside Tony, a glance.Tony helplessly explained, "The ghost appeared out of nowhere and almost hurt someone. It was Mr. Adrian who drove it away."Anthony then finally looked at Adrian.Adrian chuckled and said, "No need to thank me."Anthony scowled, shouting at Adrian, "You’re the one who probably brought the ghost here! I've been working on this route for decades and have never encountered such a situation before!"Anthony's dissatisfaction peaked. One of the passengers jumping overboard last night had almost ended his career. Although that incident had a good outcome, in the end, he was still shaken. To top it off, such a bizarre thing had occurred.There were many legends about the fierce sea and plenty of stories containing ghosts and monsters. Anthony believed them to all be nonsense though. He had worked in this line for decades and had never seen a so-called “vengeful spirit.” It wasn't until Adrian arrived that he enco

Adrian shook his head. "You're just trying to concentrate your forces and protect the people in the middle and upper decks. But what if I tell you that the ghost will become even more powerful after injuring someone?"When he spoke, Adrian deliberately spoke loudly. Once he was done, the hundreds on the lower deck became restless."We may be on the lower deck, but we're still human!""That's right! We're human!""You better send someone to protect us!"Anthony grimaced. He gritted his teeth and looked at Adrian, thinking, ‘This guy is such a troublemaker!’Adrian was spot on. Anthony didn't care about the lower deck passengers. These people didn’t bring him much profit, after all. The only reason such cheap lower-deck tickets were even made available was simply to provide a sense of superiority for those in the middle or upper decks.Hearing the dissident voices, Anthony analyzed the situation carefully. Looking at the more than five hundred people, he conceded, "Fine. You two s
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2885
Anthony stepped forward with a smile. "Mr. Jack, what happened tonight is something we never anticipated. Your girlfriend being injured also puts us in a difficult position. I assure you though that after we disembark, we will compensate you for this.""Compensate me? Do you think I care about your meager compensation? If it weren't for the lack of space in the upper deck, I wouldn't be living with these lower-class people!" Jack Landry waved as his verbal onslaught sprayed onto everyone around him.Anthony remained calm as he was experienced in handling such situations. The other party was partly frightened and partly venting their anger, so as long as they were given an outlet, things would be much easier.The several crew members looked like they had been wronged. Jack did not hold back from berating them for several minutes though they too were frightened by the ghost.The woman beside Jack was in tears. She covered the bruise on her arm and said, "Darling! You have to make thi
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2886
The first person to accept Adrian's apology was Lisa Red, the woman who was with Jack. Looking at Adrian’s handsome face and hearing his gentle and sincere apology had melted her heart."Forget about it, darling. Let’s not make things difficult for others," Lisa said, grabbing Jack’s hand and pulling him away from Adrian. She even threw a flirtatious glance at Adrian.When Jack turned around, he saw Lisa blushing with shyness and was furious. He had yelled and thrown around his weight for her sake, and now she was saying to forget about it after just a few words from this man?Jack cursed inwardly at the foolish woman, then coldly looked at Adrian. "This matter can’t be settled so easily! You must take responsibility for this!”Adrian nodded. "Okay, how do you want me to do that?"Jack sneered and said contemptuously, "Just an apology isn’t enough. You have to apologize to us on your knees."The crowd showed looks of discomfort. While they harbored some resentment toward Adrian,

"What the hell are you doing?!" Anthony's expression fell when he saw Adrian dare to act against him.Adrian turned around and said coldly, "The ghost is still roaming the ship. If you don't want to cause greater danger, stop bothering me with such petty matters."Anthony glowered. He turned to the crew members behind him and commanded, "Take him down!"The crew was at least a seventh-level Grandmaster. Anthony himself was also a Grandmaster. In their eyes, dealing with Adrian was not a problem. Several people rushed up together, but before they could reach Adrian, a sword flew past them.Anthony, who was at the forefront, suddenly turned pale. The Divine Frost Slayer Blade was now pressing into his neck. If he took just one step forward, his head could be chopped off."Don't act recklessly, we—""It should be you who shouldn't act recklessly." The glint in Adrian’s eyes was cold. He threw the almost unconscious Jack aside and grabbed the Divine Frost Slayer Blade that was suspen

Howard was stunned. All he wanted to ask was how to deal with the ghost. Unexpectedly, Anthony had figured out the ghost’s origin.Howard surveyed Adrian and frowned, asking, "Where did this guy come from?"Anthony's gaze subconsciously turned toward the Wainwright family who was standing nearby. Howard noticed the shift in Anthony's eyes, and then he realized why Adrian looked so familiar. Adrian was the mysterious person who saved Lucy. He had not taken the mysterious person seriously, and Marc had no intention of revealing the other party's identity, so Lucy was still in the dark. Howard had been very satisfied with this.Howard glanced at the more than one hundred people who were all looking at him. He smiled and said, "So it was you who brought the ghost aboard. What should we do with you now?"He didn't want others to know Adrian's identity, so he took the initiative to change the subject.Anthony hurriedly said, "We’ve prepared a boat for him and he’s willing to leave volun
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2889
Adrian looked over the side of the ship and asked, "The small boat down there is for me?"Anthony nodded. "There are enough supplies on board for you to reach the coastline of Obscura."Adrian nodded back. "Okay." He then jumped over the railing and into the boat.Adrian wasn’t confident that Autumn would not catch up to him. The current situation indicated that the other party intended to stop him from reaching Obscura, but neither side had enough power to significantly influence the other. Autumn might choose to absorb the fear of the ship passengers to gain more power before going after Adrian. The ship would take over a day to reach Obscura, and with Adrian using a small boat, he would take even more time to reach the city. Therefore, Autumn could linger on the ship for a while before coming after Adrian. This was why Adrian felt pessimistic about Autumn leaving the ship. However, he had no way to deal with Autumn at the moment, so leaving was the only measure he could take. A

The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4815
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
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
