The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3081
As they entered the final courtyard, three figures rushed toward Adrian, but they were swiftly subdued by the Draco Force and collapsed to the ground. The seventh-grade men knelt before Adrian, trembling uncontrollably, unable to move or speak."It appears to be you three," Adrian remarked, lifting the constraints on them."What brings you to our establishment?" inquired the leader. The man’s upper body was exposed, revealing a black dragon tattoo adorning his back. Unlike the vibrant tattoos on Thalia, this one appeared crude and cheap."What's your organization's name?""We are known as the Sable Emblem."Adrian glanced upward, spotting a flagpole bearing a black flag fluttering in the breeze at the courtyard's edge. He smiled before returning his gaze to the trio. "Henceforth, Sable Emblem will be under my command," he declared, before striding toward the main hall.Willie and his companions begrudgingly went to assist their leaders. The three men were perplexed. Initially mis

Since they couldn't match their adversaries in quality, they would focus on quantity. In addition to Scarlet Star in the city south, there were likely other organizations in the remaining three blocks. By rallying these groups together, they could amass a force exceeding ten thousand. Combined with Roy and his men's recruitment efforts and the formidable Snow Lady, chaos would be inevitable. Sandstone’s defenses would be at risk of crumbling. Moreover, being natives of Obscura, even if Sid's forces intervened, they would hesitate.However, in executing this plan, Adrian had to deceive both high-ranking officials and subordinates. Deceiving officials meant ensuring that Sandstone’s leadership viewed the internal turmoil as mere civil strife, rather than attributing it to Silverboa. Deceiving subordinates involved convincing individuals like Clement and his underground forces that they were engaging in territorial disputes, rather than aiding Silverboa. Despite their rough demeanor, the

“Sir, Scarlet Star's forces are converging on our headquarters!” Willie burst into the courtyard, breathless.Clement shot to his feet, sensing trouble. Scarlet Star had never paid them much heed before, so why the sudden aggression? "What's happening?" he demanded."I'm not sure. They just started pouring in," Willie explained frantically.Boom!A resounding crash echoed nearby as the wooden door of the courtyard was violently kicked open. Though Adrian's appearance had driven away some patrons, a few reckless gamblers remained, ensnared by their vices. The invading members of the Scarlet Star wasted no time and launched into a frenzy of destruction and looting. Their rampage spared no one, targeting both Sable Emblem affiliates and hapless gamblers alike. Chaos ensued, with casualties mounting rapidly.Three or four hundred individuals clad in crimson robes, representing Scarlet Star, descended upon Sable Emblem's headquarters. Caught off guard, Sable Emblem's defenses crumbled

The tavern, named Moonlit, was relatively quiet at this hour, with most patrons arriving in pairs. Thus, Adrian's solitary presence made him stand out. Soon, a young woman approached him. "Excuse me, sir, are you here alone?"In such establishments, striking up conversations was common. Upon seeing the woman, Adrian offered a warm smile and replied softly, "Yes. Would you like to join me for a drink?"The woman wore a black dress with a daring slit along the side of one of her legs, an attire sure to catch the attention of men.Caught off guard by Adrian's invitation, she hesitated. She had approached him because of his demeanor, which seemed decent enough. While there were plenty of men in the tavern, there were also women, and she was one of them. Adrian's unexpected invitation disrupted her prepared response. She found herself momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to accept or decline.Adrian found the woman’s speechless state endearing. While she may not have had the striking a

"Look, it’s Mr. Keiran of Hell Peaks," exclaimed one of the girls in a red dress beside Estelle when she saw the group of people entering the tavern.Adrian turned to look too. He was here tonight because of them."Humph. Those are all gangsters. It's best not to associate with them," Estelle replied, unable to stay silent due to her family background. She harbored no goodwill toward these hooligans despite being in the tavern herself to experience life."I know. We're all aware of your family," teased Estelle's friend with a smile.Estelle shot her a glare, signaling her to stop. Adrian, hearing their conversation, was somewhat puzzled. Was Estelle's identity unusual? But from her attire, she didn't look like from a wealthy family. But there were exceptions. Perhaps Estelle's father was an honest and upright official? Though the likelihood was low, it was still possible. Adrian kept this in mind, planning to probe further later.As the night progressed, the tavern grew livelier.

"You girls have fun. I’m going to visit the men’s for a moment," Adrian said as he gracefully stood up and walked toward the restroom.Once he left, the girls started teasing Estelle. Naturally, Estelle couldn't admit that she had a good impression of a man she had just met. It couldn't be considered a crush; after all, it was their first meeting, and they hadn't gotten to know each other well yet. But she did find Adrian very likable.After Adrian left his table and headed to the restroom, he didn't go in. Instead, he leaned against the door, waiting quietly. Although he could observe everything happening inside with the Draco Force, he didn't want to witness anything too obscene, so he refrained from using it.A few minutes passed. Keiran, who had entered the tavern behind Adrian, emerged from the restroom with a girl who was hastily adjusting her clothes. Both of them were slightly flushed, indicating they had engaged in something unspeakable. Adrian frowned at the unpleasant sme
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3087
"Stop!"Keiran stopped upon hearing a stern shout. Adrian turned around and saw Estelle standing nearby, watching the situation with concern. She had noticed Adrian's prolonged absence and became worried, heading over to the restroom area to investigate. Trouble had indeed arisen."What are you trying to do? Why are you beating people up?" Estelle sternly questioned.At the sight of Estelle, Keiran's eyes lit up. As a playboy, he naturally had a penchant for beautiful women. Seeing Estelle made him forget all about Cassandra. Their relationship was more transactional anyway.Cassandra, noticing Estelle, disdainfully leaned against the nearby wall and lit a cigarette. Keiran's mindset then shifted. He realized Estelle must have some connection to the man before him. With this realization, he could exploit the recent conflict to his advantage."Miss, he disrespected me, so I’m teaching him a lesson. Is there a problem with that?" Keiran, undeniably handsome, wore a charming smile
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3088
Estelle hesitated, realizing that Adrian was a person with strong principles. He cared a lot about her feelings and was worried about her safety. She couldn't help but think of her father suddenly. Adrian seemed to be a man just like this, and her father was her lifelong idol.Adrian was unaware that his casual remark had such an impact on Estelle."Okay, I’ll leave first," Estelle said before turning away. But before walking away, she glanced back worriedly at Adrian.Keiran's expression darkened as he watched Estelle depart. It seemed his act hadn't been effective at all. "What do you mean by making me apologize?" Keiran was still somewhat confused. Was this guy brain-dead?As for Cassandra, seeing Adrian persuade Estelle to leave and the two men locked in a standoff, she put on a look of disdain. She had witnessed too many disputes over women, and Keiran's hypocritical appearance sickened her. So, when Adrian and Keiran clashed, she didn't even consider intervening, allowing the

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

"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
