The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3015
With the arrival of the Special Operations Preparatory Department and Quintin's army, the outcome of the battle near Leafall had become inevitable. This development was beneficial for both the residents of Leafall and Adrian's group. Under Adrian's governance, the residents of Leafall had endured considerable pressure, not from any direct actions from Adrian, but from the psychological strain of living in uncertainty. Once the situation in Leafall was resolved, Adrian would undoubtedly depart. Therefore, for the residents of Leafall, this was undoubtedly welcome news.If Quintin were to assume control of Leafall, the city, having already endured the ravages of war, would likely remain free from further conflict in the foreseeable future unless other factions from Obscura launched counterattacks in subsequent conflicts, which seemed highly unlikely. Quintin's arrival prompted the complete mobilization of the entire nation for war. Obscura now faced not only Quintin's two hundred thousa

Despite Alfie's frustration, he was powerless to act, given that his group comprised only around twenty individuals, while Talan's group boasted three hundred members, each proficient in combat."If I could take you, I'd knock you down right now!" Alfie muttered under his breath.Talan glanced confidently at Adrian, anticipating the latter’s agreement to their proposed strategy. However, much to his surprise, Adrian dismissed the idea."The situation here has been resolved. With only Sandstone remaining, I see no need for us to engage in this," Adrian stated."Why?" Talan inquired, puzzled by Adrian's decision.Adrian shook his head, offering an explanation, "Capturing Sandstone lacks practical significance. It's primarily symbolic. We already possess one symbol, and acquiring another city in the same manner isn't necessary."Talan felt a sense of resignation. He noticed Alfie chuckling beside him, which only added to his irritation. However, Adrian's words prompted a realization

Three days later, Quintin officially established his residence in Leafall. Under his governance, the residents of Leafall felt as if they had entered paradise. Quintin's years of experience as the lord of Silverboa had endowed him with a profound understanding of balance. While Adrian had instilled fear into the hearts of Leafall’s residents, Quintin's mission was to cultivate gratitude in them. Only through a blend of benevolence and authority could the people of Leafall be fully subdued. Although the submission of Leafall's inhabitants may seem insignificant, utilizing Leafall as a successful model would prove crucial for future endeavors within Obscura.On the third day, Quintin summoned Adrian after settling all matters. Adrian met Quintin at the residence prepared for Leafall’s lord. Alongside Adrian, Rufus and Illya were also summoned. However, as Illya had assumed the guise of Rufus's subordinate, he missed the opportunity to meet Quintin.As Adrian entered the heavily guarded

Adrian was certain that Quintin had overheard every word, and this rendered any of their plans futile. Despite their considerable power, Ilyas and Rufus remained distant from the echelons of true dominance, a chasm likely insurmountable in their lifetimes."You've arrived at last," Quintin remarked, taking a leisurely sip from his tea.Quintin was seated behind a desk, dressed in traditional Obscura attire. Adrian surveyed the surroundings, noting Quintin's thorough preparation. He was accompanied by a retinue of formidable experts, ensuring his security. Unless individuals of Adrian or Ronan's caliber attempted an assassination, no one would even approach Quintin.Adrian sat down opposite Quintin, who poured him a cup of tea. "Why are you dressed like that?" Adrian asked."Hush! Don't let it slip! I just wanted to know what it feels like to wear these," Quintin remarked with a smile.Adrian felt resigned. To him, it seemed unremarkable, and he struggled to comprehend Quintin's cu

However, Quintin was certain that something significant must have occurred at Mori Island. He observed Adrian silently, anticipating an explanation."Well, I came to Obscura because of an order from a captain on Mori Island," Adrian clarified."If you didn't wish to comply, could a mere captain have commanded you?" Quintin inquired."Believe it or not, but it was indeed under his directive that I came here," Adrian affirmed.Observing Adrian's nonchalant demeanor, Quintin sighed and gestured dismissively. "Rest assured. Since he dares to trouble you, it means he has an issue with me. He won't retain his captaincy for long."Adrian smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.After a brief pause, Quintin inquired, "What are your thoughts on the forthcoming events?""Are you referring to the war?""Yes. I'm interested in hearing your perspective.”Only a select few were aware that Adrian possessed not only immense power but also a strategic acumen that rivaled many renowned and seasoned

Quintin smiled warmly and said, "Rise. Your contribution to the acquisition of Leafall has been substantial. No formalities are necessary."Rufus's eyes gleamed with joy. Quintin's demeanor suggested that he had left a favorable impression, which was immensely gratifying for Rufus. He had meticulously prepared for this moment, even considering surrender prior to the war's onset, all in anticipation of such recognition.However, Rufus was oblivious to the disdain lurking in Quintin's gaze. To Quintin, the denizens of Obscura, including its supposed nobility, were mere primitives. He found it ludicrous that some of these nobles had opted to surrender at the war's outset. If Quintin were the ruler of Obscura, he would sooner perish than have such subjects.Unaware of Quintin's profound disdain toward him, Rufus continued to harbor aspirations of advancement and prosperity."I heard you have an aide named Illya by your side?” Quintin inquired, catching Rufus off guard."My lord, he's
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3021
Initially, Rufus had presented himself with composure, but Quintin discerned his true nature and elicited profound terror from him during their exchange. Conversely, Illya appeared equally frightened, yet Quintin detected a subtle difference in the former’s demeanor.The enigma lay in why Illya felt compelled to feign nervousness. Before long, Quintin unraveled the mystery. Illya deliberately projected an image of incompetence to divert attention from himself and prevent Rufus from feeling slighted. Upon this revelation, Quintin couldn't help but stifle a chuckle. Illya's strategic maneuver added an intriguing twist to the situation.'Ah, it appears Mr. Adrian was correct. Illya truly possesses talent,' Quintin mused inwardly.Despite being a commoner, Illya not only displayed fearlessness in Quintin's presence but also executed the pretense of fear with remarkable conviction. This suggested that Illya's cunning might surpass Quintin's initial estimation. It occurred to Quintin that

"Do you have any objections to this arrangement, Illya?" Quintin inquired.Illya harbored objections to this arrangement, a sentiment he kept to himself. Hearing that Quintin also wanted to see him earlier filled him with joy. Though he couldn't discern the reason, it was evident that he had captured Quintin's attention. Why else would Quintin remember his name? As the lord of a city burdened with myriad daily affairs, Quintin had no reason to remember the name of someone inconsequential to him.Illya's affiliation with Rufus was solely to leverage him as a means to further his own agenda. Finally, an opportunity had presented itself. If seized, it could liberate him from Rufus's influence, allowing him to pursue his own development. However, his hopes were dashed. Quintin's demeanor made it clear that he intended to treat Illya as Rufus's subordinate.Rufus glanced smugly at Illya, convinced that Illya had failed to earn Quintin's appreciation. Quintin had previously made it clear

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?

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 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. 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
