Chapter 3020

ผู้เขียน: Celestial Clouds
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

    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

    After meeting with Quintin, Adrian exited the lord's residence. As he strolled along the newly renovated streets, he observed that while most of the residents of Leafall appeared relatively relaxed, some still seemed quite worried. This was natural given the current period of turmoil; it would be odd if they weren't concerned about the future.Fortunately, Adrian rarely appeared in Leafall, and most of those who had seen him before had already passed away. Thus, he could now walk peacefully along the streets. Otherwise, his presence would surely cause people to flee at the mere sight of him.Adrian donned the training uniform of the Silverboa City Frontier Force, with a sword at his waist. Anyone who saw him would recognize that he was not to be underestimated. The residents of Leafall who knew him would undoubtedly be filled with fear, while those who didn't admire his unique demeanor and steal a few glances at him.These were undoubtedly the prevailing views of the vast majority,

    Sherri paused for a moment, misunderstanding Adrian's intention. Adrian had inquired if she had approached him for a specific reason, but Sherri misconstrued it as genuine concern. She shook her head and responded, "My father had confined me to the house lately, so nothing eventful has occurred. But I heard there's a ruthless killer in Leafall. He's extremely dangerous!"Adrian awkwardly scratched his nose, realizing that he was the very killer Sherri had mentioned. "Well, you're not wrong. He is indeed quite dangerous," he conceded.Just as Sherri was about to speak further, Adrian interjected, "Since he's still in Leafall, you should hurry on home."After uttering his advice, Adrian wished to depart swiftly, feeling as though he was reprimanding himself. However, just as he turned around, Sherri unexpectedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Wait!"Meanwhile, Hilary observed the interaction between Adrian and Sherri, sensing the reason behind Sherri's earlier anxiety. It appea

    As Hilary had anticipated, Sherri didn't feel offended; instead, she felt grateful yet embarrassed for forgetting something so important."Right! My birthday is coming up in a few days. Maybe you could find the time to come to my party?" Sherri asked.Adrian was taken aback. He couldn't quite grasp why Sherri wanted to invite him to her party, but he sensed her feelings for him. However, not wanting to hurt her feelings, he reluctantly agreed. "Okay, I'll come. Where's the venue?""It'll be at the Blazing Leaf, the best restaurant in Leafall!" Sherri exclaimed.In truth, they hadn't yet decided on a venue for her birthday party. After all, the event was still a few days away, and Sherri's family hadn't even begun planning. She simply didn't want to miss the opportunity and mentioned a location offhand.Adrian nodded, then turned to leave. As he departed, Sherri watched him go with a hint of disappointment. Meanwhile, Hilary chuckled softly. Leaning in close to Sherri, she whispere

    She knew these two individuals were only seventh-level warriors.Although at their age, they were considered decent, they were still far inferior compared to true experts. As long as they weren't Grandmasters, they were just ordinary people.Hilary came from a privileged background and had exceptionally high standards. Unfortunately, she didn't know Adrian's true strength.Sherri, who was standing aside, didn't say much either. She knew a little about Hilary's thoughts. However, she preferred to let Hilary misunderstand Adrian as just an ordinary person rather than let her know about Adrian's excellence. Wouldn't she just be creating a rival for herself if she did that?Hilary saw that Sherri didn't want to say much and thought her words had already influenced her. She must let everyone know later that Sherri had fallen for an ordinary person. And he was even pursuing her!After Adrian left, he returned to his temporary residence to train.Actually, it was the mayor's manor, a la

    If they followed Adrian, all the wealth and glory would mean nothing. Because staying by his side and continuing to wage war was itself a kind of honor. Moreover, as Adrian went further, their glory would only increase.*Several days later, Adrian wrapped up the brief special training session.On the final day, whether they were individuals like Talan, who had been part of the elite troops before, or newcomers like Roy and the others, everyone was filled with awe. Adrian's teachings were incredibly potent.Even though they hadn't engaged in practical combat training yet, they understood that these 300 individuals would wield formidable power once they entered the battlefield. In critical moments, they could even sway the outcome of battles involving hundreds of thousands.Adrian looked at them and nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left the street. This area had already been completely sealed off and become their private domain. Since they had seized this city, giving them a

    One of the first rules in Leafall was that neither warriors nor ordinary people were allowed to carry swords on them.Naturally, this rule didn’t apply to individuals from Silverboa City, but strictly to those from Obscura City. Soldiers from Silverboa City, if unarmed in Leafall, risked facing fanatics native to the area. Being unarmed in such encounters would leave them at a disadvantage compared to when armed."Hey! Who are you?" The first guard spoke up, but the person beside him gently pulled his sleeve, advising him, "Be careful! He might be from Silverboa City!" Adrian walked toward the entrance of the Blazing Leaf Restaurant, meeting the gaze of those people. The security guards, whether cautious or suspicious of Adrian being from Silverboa City, became even more vigilant."I'm here to attend Miss Sherri's birthday banquet. There's no need for you to stop me," he said in the language of Obscura City.Originally meant to express his identity, these words made the guards

    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 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

    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
