The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3222
Soon after, the garrison troops conducted an on-site investigation. After that, Nathaniel left a few guards behind to protect the villagers and prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.In the following days, the village remained relatively peaceful. Even though there were some minor monster attacks from time to time, Ash managed to defeat them promptly. As time passed, the villagers gradually came to believe that there was a monster hunter guarding their village. Therefore, they collectively raised funds to refurbish the shrine.Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction, and the affairs of Meadowshire seemed to have temporarily come to a close. However, Adrian could not shake the feeling that things were not truly resolved. It was not just the matters within the village, but even previous events had some strange aspects to them. Yet, he could not make heads or tails of it for the time being. 'Ah, screw it. I'm sure a solution will present itself when the time is

"You can jump if you want, but I'm not jumping!""Prepare to die!" the monster shouted.Just when Clayton’s group was about to get attacked, a commanding voice rang out, "Stop right there, you vile creature!""What?"The students and the monster were taken aback. They turned around and saw two figures had appeared out of nowhere. It was Ash and Adrian."Roar!" Realizing the imminent danger, the monster did not hesitate and charged toward Ash and Adrian. However, Ash was prepared. With a swing of his blade, he decapitated the monster. "Argh!" The monster screamed, and a surge of dark energy burst forth from its severed neck. The surges of dark energy resembled black snakes as they swiftly headed toward the students' orifices. Suddenly, Adrian appeared in front of the students to block the dark energy. With a thunderous roar, he dispersed the dark energy, and the monster vanished into thin air. Soon, all the monster’s minions retreated to the netherworld. In the deserted room, o

Adrian was certain that this man was anything but ordinary. However, he was perplexed by the fact that all signs indicated that the figure was human. As a human, the figure exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down Adrian's spine. From that, Adrian knew that confronting this individual would be no ordinary encounter."Hey, can you guys run?" Adrian whispered.The students behind him were initially taken aback but then nodded hesitantly in response."Good," Adrian continued, "I'll count to three, and you guys run. Don't worry about me. Just get out of the academy. One… Two…" Just as Adrian began the countdown, the man in the black robe waved his hand, and a surge of dark energy appeared to block their path. He chuckled sinisterly, "Since you're here, why rush to leave? Why not stay and keep me company?""Hah, who do you think you are? Why should we stay with you? Why don't you just show me your true face? Hiding behind that hood, you're probably just an ugly bastard!" Adrian t

Unfazed by the horde of fiend slaves, Adrian unleashed a mighty roar and obliterated them all with a powerful shockwave."What?! How is this possible!" the robed man exclaimed in shock.Seizing his chance, Ash swung his blade to strike down the opponent. However, the robed man swiftly blocked Ash’s attack. The two sides clashed, and for a moment, Ash felt a slight tremor in his heart. He realized that he could not gain any advantage over the robed man. At that moment, General Hydro and General Pyro, as well as Daybreak and Stygian, shouted, "We'll lend you a hand!"Immediately, they rushed toward the robed man. These four individuals were Adrian's subordinates that he recruited during his time in Mapleston. With their assistance, the pressure on Ash was significantly reduced. However, Adrian did not immediately join the fight. He watched quietly from the sidelines, and after some time, he realized that none of his subordinates could defeat the robed man."This is strange. Is this

"Uh-oh," the man realized Adrian's intentions and swiftly turned to defend himself, but it was too late.Adrian waved his hand, exclaiming, "Hah!"A fierce attack followed, catching the man in black robes off guard. He was struck, and a sharp, miserable scream escaped his mouth. Simultaneously, onlookers witnessed a black shadow erupting from his body, transforming into a whirlwind in preparation for him to escape.Adrian knew the robed man would try this trick. "Trying to run? Seal!" he shouted, launching another attack.The shadow had no chance to evade and emitted another agonized scream upon being hit."Good heavens, that was incredibly powerful. Who are you? Are you from the garrison?" a bystander exclaimed.As the enemies were defeated, students rushed over. Adrian, Ash, and the others' heroic actions left them wide-eyed with awe."Not really," Adrian replied bluntly.Clayton was puzzled. "Then, who are you—”Adrian interrupted, "Anyway, the enemies are gone. Does it mat

One of the girls stepped forward at that moment. "I can draw the sketch," she volunteered.They provided paper and pen, and the girl swiftly began drawing. In a short while, she had completed a drawing of Adrian's likeness, which bore a striking resemblance, about seventy to eighty percent accurate. Handing the drawing to Nathaniel, she said, "This is him. I can't guarantee it's an exact match though.""That's okay, this is sufficient," Nathaniel assured her, accepting the drawing. He then instructed his companions, "Herman, escort them home. Ensure they get back safely and are out of harm's way.""Of course," Herman Leach acknowledged, leading the students away.After they left, Nathaniel examined the drawing. After a moment, he frowned....The following day, Adrian slept until noon. Having been busy until late the previous night, he fell into a particularly deep slumber. And he didn’t awaken naturally; he was roused by a knock on the door of his shop."Who's there? Why are yo

"I'm truly sorry, but my tea is reserved for those with good intentions toward me. I know nothing about you, so offering you tea would be premature," Adrian explained, shrugging.At this moment, his vigilance heightened. This man had just called him by his name, implying some level of prior investigation."If that's the case, let's not beat around the bush.” Nathaniel produced a token from his pocket. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nathaniel Albarea, deputy head of Mapleston City’s garrison."Adrian's eyes sparked at the realization of Nathaniel's high status in Mapleston, though he maintained a puzzled expression. "I'm just a commoner running a small art studio. Why would the garrison send someone of your stature here, sir?"Nathaniel chuckled at Adrian's words. "You're quite amusing, Adrian."Adrian gave him a disgruntled look. "What's so funny?"Nathaniel's laughter subsided as he continued, "Your disguise is clever indeed. But there's no need for pretense. I'm aware of wh

"It’s okay if you'd rather not tell me. The truth is, I came here to propose cooperation with you this time." Nathaniel's tone then shifted. "The incident in Meadowshire, was that your doing? Since you're so capable, you should join the garrison.""Sorry, I'm not interested.” Adrian immediately rejected Nathaniel’s proposal."Don't be so quick to reject me. Joining the garrison not only offers security and a high salary, but it also allows your potential to be fully developed." Nathaniel still seemed eager to recruit him. He believed that since he couldn't currently figure out Adrian's background, bringing him under his wing might be a good choice. This way, he could slowly investigate Adrian."I have no need for that. I'll develop my potential on my own. I don't need you to worry about that." Adrian continued to refuse. He then stood up and guided Nathaniel toward the door. "If there's nothing else, please leave. But rest assured, I'm definitely not your enemy. I’ll never, ever be,

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
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
