The surrounding individuals cast disdainful glares at Howard. Despite the discrepancy in their social standings, his deceitful actions of framing Adrian after the latter had saved his fiancee were perceived as utterly reprehensible."How shameless!" someone muttered indignantly under their breath.Howard's glare pierced through the crowd angrily, yet the voice seemed to reverberate from all directions, rendering it impossible to pinpoint the speaker amid the multitude of eyes fixed upon him. His guards were aware of the identity of the speaker, but in this pivotal moment, they found themselves preoccupied with weightier concerns. Moreover, they couldn't refute the truth in the accusation. Howard's actions were undeniably shameless.Several minutes later, Anthony had dutifully notified all surviving upper deck passengers, prompting over a hundred individuals to hastily descend the narrow corridor leading to the lower deck entrance. Upon encountering Adrian stationed at the threshold,

Adrian turned and spotted a crew member lying on the ground, covered in blood with a pale face. He quickly directed a surge of energy into the man's chest to sustain him.With a glance toward the adjacent corridor, where Autumn likely lay in ambush, Adrian's expression hardened. He nodded decisively and retrieved the Spectral Snare from his pocket."Adrian! Finally! You didn't anticipate me to be this powerful, did you?" Autumn in Sammy’s body materialized at the corridor's end, her blood-red eyes locking onto Adrian.Observing this, Adrian's smirk turned cold."Quit the charade! You've never stood a chance against me. With every soul I've absorbed, my strength has only grown!" Autumn yelled at Adrian, her voice hoarse and ghostly.Adrian chuckled, his gaze fixed on the Spectral Snare in his hand. Just as he was about to activate it, Autumn-Sammy vanished from sight and reappeared abruptly in front of him.Swish!Adrian swiftly unsheathed the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, intercept

In the next moment, a potent gust of wind assailed her from behind, but Autumn had no alternative but to press on. When she glanced back, she was stunned by the sight that met her eyes—the Spectral Snare now hovered in the air, steadily expanding in size.Autumn could no longer maintain her composure. Her once-present ruthlessness and madness now gave way to fear. Meanwhile, the Spectral Snare loomed ominously overhead. In a desperate bid, Autumn released a piercing scream that reverberated throughout the corridor, inducing a slight dizziness in Adrian. Those who were still conscious despite their injuries were swiftly rendered unconscious by her shrill cry.Upon hearing the scream, the occupants of the lower deck instinctively lifted their heads, casting their gazes toward the ceiling. Yet, they could not discern anything amiss. Apart from the lingering echo of the ghostly wail in the air, it appeared as though no other event had taken place.Larissa was taken aback by the scream,

Marc and Larissa exchanged looks. Their main concern now was to silence Howard.Howard thought, ‘Marc and Larissa are eighth-level Grandmasters, just like Adrian. If the ghost gets out of control and attacks, it's safest to stay close to them. But if Marc and Larissa only care about saving themselves, others could be in danger. I need to make their intentions known. Even if they want to escape, they must do so with everyone else. They can't leave everyone behind to face the enemy alone.’Under the scrutiny of the others, Marc put on a strained smile and remarked, "We should start considering our options before it's too late."After Howard brought their intentions to light, they had no option but to suggest a plan alongside the other passengers in the upper-class rooms."Mr. Marc is right. With the situation being this perilous, we need to brainstorm a solution," someone whispered.All eyes then shifted toward Howard. As the ship's owner, he surely had an escape plan.Howard sense
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2927
Before Marc could respond, Larissa interjected, "You go on ahead. Lucy will stay with us. She'll be safe.”Howard smirked coldly. "In that case, we'll leave first," he declared.With the landing point on the Central Island of Obscura City less than five hundred kilometers away, boarding the small boats meant they could reach it within a day. This was undoubtedly the prime opportunity to escape. Since Lucy didn't value this chance, it was her loss.Howard led the first group of nobles toward the boiler room, showing no signs of hesitation. The ship’s crew members inside the room had been laboring tirelessly for the past two days to hasten their journey to the shore. Their exhausted faces bore dark circles and dirt smudges, making them appear almost as eerie as the ghost itself.As Anthony entered, all work came to a halt. Following closely behind him were about twenty nobles clad in opulent attire. These individuals were expected to remain in the upper-class deck, yet here they were

"Adrian won’t crumble under pressure. He's not keen on agreeing to our suggestion to approach Everett, but there's still hope," Larissa explained."What do you mean?" Marc's heart raced at the prospect of revitalizing their family by aligning with Everett and momentarily forgetting about their escape plan."Hehe, imagine how Adrian will regard us upon his return after vanquishing the ghost. He’ll see that we’ve honored our commitment to remain here while all the other nobles flee. He'll undoubtedly admire us,” Marc mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully."But how can you be so sure that Adrian will emerge victorious?" Larissa shook her head. She couldn't guarantee Adrian's triumph over the ghost. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to take the risk."At present, there's an underlying animosity between us and Howard. However, that boy has refrained from targeting us because of Lucy. But Lucy herself..." Larissa sighed.Lucy overheard her parents' conversation. After some pondering,

Adrian gazed at the small cauldron in his hand, his satisfaction evident. Despite taking a bit longer, the peculiar little cauldron known as the “Spectral Snare” had proven to be remarkable.Once enveloped by the Spectral Snare, Autumn could not resist. In just ten minutes, her soul was completely crushed and imprisoned within the cauldron. Adrian likened it to a millstone, watching as the ghost's soul was slowly crushed within the Spectral Snare's aura until finally being confined within it.Adrian felt compelled to dedicate time to researching it and the other bronze treasures upon his return. He believed these thirteen items were more formidable than any treasures he had encountered in the dragon realm. Apart from the Lunar Edge and the Dragon Dial with their specific functions, most items in the dragon realm were useless to him. However, the Spectral Snare was different. He was certain it had more uses beyond suppressing the supernatural.After stowing away the cauldron, Adrian

Adrian stood there stunned at the chaos that reigned on the lower deck.A throng of people clustered at the entrance to the boiler room, pushing forward as though vying for something precious. Some hurled curses, while others wailed in despair. It all appeared utterly mad.Adrian furrowed his brows, surveying the crowd. Many faces were unfamiliar, yet amid them, he recognized a few. The Wainwrights stood on the fringes, silently observing the tumult unfolding before them.Sammy spotted the Wainwrights and dashed toward them without a second thought. "Madam! Miss!" she cried out.Lucy spotted her maid returning at last and breathed a sigh of relief. Larissa and Marc watched Sammy attentively. Upon verifying she showed no signs of being possessed any longer, they too sighed in relief."Are you okay?" Lucy enveloped Sammy in an embrace, assuming the role of a protective elder sister."He saved me." Sammy gestured toward Adrian.Larissa and Marc exchanged glances, then nodded slight

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
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
