The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2930
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 2931
After half a minute, the scene finally calmed. Upon catching sight of Adrian, the crowd’s attitude underwent a complete transformation. The madness and confusion that had gripped them vanished entirely, replaced by gazes of gratitude and reverence as if he were their savior.Adrian could only shake his head helplessly in response. With the commotion subdued, he finally had the opportunity to approach the window and gaze outside. Twenty boats were drifting out on the sea, steadily moving farther away from the Titan cruise ship."Fetch the captain!" Adrian barked.With the ship plunged into chaos, he paid little heed to the whereabouts of those around him. Some from the lower deck had fled to the upper deck, while others attempted to pilfer belongings amid the turmoil. Despite crew members' efforts to intervene, their actions lacked coordination without Adrian's directive. Several crew members converged around him, now regarding him as their de facto leader.Upon hearing his command,

Adrian appeared behind the Wainwright couple. Larissa swiftly turned to face him, while Marc also directed his attention toward Adrian."What's the matter? Any objections?" Adrian inquired.Marc wore a wry smile as he cautiously said, "Nearly all of the one hundred individuals who fled hold positions in the upper echelons of the empire, or at the very least, they have connections with prominent noble families...""So what?" Adrian waved his hand. "So what?" Adrian waved dismissively.Lucy and Sammy approached, both casting curious glances at Adrian. Larissa signaled to Marc, silently encouraging him to speak. However, Marc found himself momentarily speechless. Adrian stood apart from anyone they had encountered before. Unpersuadable and resolute in his methods, he posed a unique challenge. Marc hadn't encountered someone quite like him before and feared saying the wrong thing, potentially jeopardizing this hard-won opportunity.Adrian regarded the Wainwrights with a faint smile.

The five began discussing their plans upon docking. Some advocated sneaking into the military camp before contacting Alfie's cousin while others proposed reaching out to the cousin first, followed by a visit to the camp.With both sides staunchly defending their positions, Adrian offered a piece of advice: upon docking, they should temporarily follow his lead. Logically, he needed to prioritize visiting the military camp to locate Quintin, so he could take these five along with him."As expected of the almighty Mr. Adrian!"Alfie’s group had initially been skeptical of Adrian's military credentials. But now, they harbored no doubts whatsoever. His decisive handling of the ghost, which had left everyone onboard helpless, solidified their belief that he held significant authority within the border army. Moreover, witnessing the Wainwrights being so humble before Adrian further cemented their conviction. They had witnessed firsthand how the entire family had pleaded with him for a favo

Anthony was gripped by panic, fearing that with his severe injuries, he might lack the strength to stay afloat if he fell into the water. While the capsizing of the small boat might have been a minor inconvenience for others, he was already weakened, and it could spell disaster.Beside him, Howard urged frantically, leaving Anthony with no choice but to row desperately, attempting to distance themselves from the looming Titan. However, how could human strength compete with the power of a machine?In just a few minutes, they too found themselves capsized by the colossal vessel.As Howard plunged into the water, he seized Anthony, and together they battled against the currents. For a harrowing half-hour, they struggled fruitlessly to right the small boat. Despite being among the first to flee the ship, their boat ended up being the last to succumb to the Titan's might. With no training in such matters, Howard and the others fought tirelessly to stay afloat.But they couldn't overturn

As Adrian left the ship, the Wainwrights and Sammy, Alfie’s group, and Brutus’ group followed behind him. After achieving their goal of reaching Obscura, Brutus’ group bid farewell to Adrian. They planned to use the hundred million he had given them to have some fun in Obscura. As for Alfie’s group and the Wainwrights, they had their reasons for continuing to follow Adrian.After seeing Adrian and the others disembark, Carey shouted at the crew members, "Hurry up and turn back to rescue those people!"The crew members sighed, but they knew that this was now their only chance for redemption. They quickly turned the ship around, fearing that someone might have died hundreds of kilometers away at sea.Regardless of the situation on the Titan behind him, Adrian entered the city."Mr. Adrian, are we going to the military camp right now?" Alfie asked excitedly, envisioning himself joining the border army and making achievements.Marc frowned slightly. He wanted to settle down first befo

Adrian was about to lead the few people beside him down another path but they noticed that the Octo Chariots were already speeding toward them. The thirty black Octo Chariots, all specially modified armored vehicles, looked fierce as they drove on the streets. Adrian was confused, but when he saw the first person getting out of one of the vehicles, he suddenly realized something.Leading the way was Talan Franke, the deputy captain of the Dragon Squad. Beside him was Roy Nunez, one of the heroes who had fought alongside Adrian and helped capture Sandstone and Leafall.After more than two hundred people got out of the chariot, they all looked at Adrian and saluted."Greetings from all two hundred and sixty-eight members of the Dragon Squad!” they thundered.Their appearance had caused a commotion on the quiet street. When they lined up in front of Adrian and saluted, the scene became even more chaotic.A man across the street saw these more than two hundred people, he looked stunne

Adrian explained smilingly, "To join the Dragon Squad, you need to be at least a seventh-level Grandmaster. You also need to undergo training in the reserve."Alfie's expression darkened. Even Marc and Larissa felt some sympathy for the kid."By the time you join the Dragon Squad, this battle will probably have already ended..." Adrian continued.At this point, Alfie was already in despair."However, I can give you one year. If you become a seventh-level Grandmaster within that time, I will grant you special permission to join the Dragon Squad,” Adrian offered.“But the war will have ended by then." Alfie was disappointed. There would be no point in joining the Dragon Squad if he didn’t get to fight."It won't," Adrian replied as he smiled knowingly.Marc and Larissa glanced at each other. As Grandmasters, they could infer a lot of information from Adrian's simple words. And this information was something they had never encountered before. Since Adrian said the war wouldn't end,

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

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.

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
