Chapter 3268

Author: Celestial Clouds
But after some thought, Adrian figured that the garrison was not omniscient. They relied on various monitoring devices to detect unusual dark energy fluctuations. This area was the outskirts of Mapleston, so Adrian reckoned that Matthias' village must be beyond the devices' range.

Adrian asked, "Where exactly is your village?"

"We’re from Dragonfield Village," Matthias replied.

Adrian knew about Dragonfield Village. It was a neighboring village just outside Mapleston. He considered this for a moment, then quickly instructed Stygian, "Take them to our base. I'm heading to Dragonfield."

"Yes, sir," Stygian replied.

Then, the few people hurried off in different directions.

"Run! The monsters are coming!"

Countless people were screaming and running in terror. Unfortunately, they were mere mortals, powerless against these monsters. In no time, many were caught by the pursuing monsters. The humans struggled with all their might but to no avail. The monsters held an overwhelming a

    Adrian quickly held on to the old man and pulled him up, saying, "Sir, there’s no need for that. Slaying monsters is my duty."Adrian then heard sobbing nearby. Turning towards the sound, he saw the little girl he had saved earlier, and her tears tugged at his heart. He approached her, gently patting her head, bending down, and saying, "Why are you crying? You’re safe now. I've already killed those monsters." "But... But my brother and father were taken by those monsters. Can you save them?" the girl asked, and Adrian's heart sank at her words."What happened here?" he asked as he looked up at the surrounding villagers.The elder who had spoken before stepped forward again. "Some of the villagers were taken by those monsters.""To where?" Adrian asked."Sir, are you going to…" The elder was taken aback."Yes, I'm going to rescue them," Adrian confirmed.The elder gasped. "But those monsters are powerful, and there are a lot of them. Going alone would be very dangerous.""Haha

    Two figures arrived outside the abandoned mine."The leader sent us to investigate, and it looks like we've come to the right place. The dark energy around this mine is so heavy. Let's head inside," a young man in his twenties said. He prepared to move forward but was quickly stopped by the woman beside him. "Are you crazy? Going in would be walking to our deaths,” she said.The woman had delicate features and was very beautiful. Her long hair was tied up into a simple ponytail, and coupled with her tight-fitting attire, she exuded a sense of competence and grace."Look, there are some people over there. Are those monsters capturing people? Let's hurry and save them!" the young man said."No!" The woman continued to hold him back. She gave the young man a disdainful look and continued, "I know they're capturing those villagers, but if we rush over now, we’d just be throwing our lives away.""Are we just going to watch them get taken away then?" the young man questioned."Are yo

    Although the woman had been calm and composed earlier, she now felt slightly disoriented. Similarly, Rean was starting to panic. He asked, "What should we do? Are we really trapped here now?""Don't panic," the woman reassured, trying to maintain her composure. "Our leader said encountering a phenomenon like this isn't terrifying as long as we stay focused. We'll surely find a way out."In reality, it was her first time on a mission as well. She thought that having the Monster Repel would make everything foolproof. However, she had not expected it to be so ineffective, and that they would encounter such a phenomenon. 'What should we do? Are we going to die before we can even accomplish our mission?' the woman thought. In the memorial hall of their faction, there were many plaques commemorating fellow disciples who had sacrificed their lives on missions over the years. She did not want to end up being another name on one of those plaques.Just then, a sudden gust of chilly wind

    "What is it?" Adrian asked.“We are monster hunters from the Aetherians, and we're here on a mission to eliminate the monsters. May we join forces with you?” Aubrey asked.“The Aetherians?” Adrian mused. He had heard of this name before. Nathaniel had told him about it. Besides the official garrison army, there were many contract monster hunters. Some were factions, some were families, and others were independent monster hunters, but all of them were managed by the garrison. Nathaniel initially thought Adrian was an unregistered monster hunter.The Aetherians was one such organization. They had about twenty members, with varying levels of strength. Their leader, the strongest among them, was a peak B-level monster hunter. Nathaniel had dealt with them before and had mentioned them to Adrian. It was just that Adrian had not expected to encounter them now.“Your leader is so irresponsible,” Adrian said, “This place is far beyond your capabilities. It’s irresponsible of him to send yo

    At this moment, the surrounding mist seemed to thicken even more. Within the fog, shadowy figures began to emerge one after another. As they slowly approached the trio, Aubrey's heart sank.Adrian, however, merely chuckled coldly and said, "Do you really think such a petty trick can trap me? Ridiculous!""What?"Aubrey and Rean were taken aback, clearly not expecting such a confident response from him.Adrian then called out, "Guys! It's time for you to show yourselves!" "Yes, sir!" General Hydro and General Pyro replied."Roger!" Ash also chimed in. Several figures materialized and stood before the trio."Who are these people?"Aubrey and Rean were stunned.Leading the charge were two armored warhorses, one wreathed in flames and the other trailing water. When they moved, they became streaks of blue and red light as they sliced through the mist. For a moment, the vast mine was filled with the wails of countless ghosts. Soon after, the mist dissipated.Adrian, Aubrey, and

    Crack! The lock shattered, and the heavy door creaked open slowly."Wow!" Aubrey and Rean were taken aback."Let's go," Adrian said with a smile.With Adrian around, Aubrey and Rean felt slightly more at ease. However, they could not shake off the feeling of walking into a trap.Inside the cavern, the sense of foreboding intensified, and even Adrian's heart skipped a beat. Above them hung countless desiccated corpses wrapped in white cloth, resembling mummies or giant cocoons. Adrian estimated there were hundreds of bodies, densely packed and covering the entire cavern ceiling."What are those?" Aubrey said in horror as she and Rean entered, and her cry seemed to awaken some ancient presence.The bodies above began to tremble. Slightly at first, then more violently, writhing like enormous maggots hanging from the ceiling. It was a grotesque sight, enough to make anyone feel nauseous.Suddenly, some of the corpses broke free of their bindings and lunged toward them at high spee

    Brandishing his sword, Rean leaped to Adrian's side. By now, more corpses had sprung to life and were relentlessly lunging toward them.Adrian slashed down another corpse with his sword before turning to Rean and ask, "How's Aubrey holding up?"However, Rean silently glared at him, and Adrian understood that he probably blamed him for Aubrey's condition. Adrian shrugged off the hostility and continued fighting. After all, there were more pressing matters at hand—they had to dispose of the relentless onslaught of undead.That being said, the more they fought, the more Adrian realized that these corpses seemed endless. "Ash!" he called out.In a flash, Ash appeared and worked with Adrian to dispose of the corpses. But despite their efforts, the tide of corpses seemed endless. Adrian was not nervous though. After bringing down a few corpses, he figured out what kind of opponent they were dealing with."Rean, Ash, hold off the undead. I'll be right back!" Adrian commanded before darti

    Adrian quickly regained his senses, but a wave of attacks was aiming straight for him. Someone commanded the undead to charge at him, clearly intending to kill him. But Adrian was no pushover, and he wouldn’t give up easily. Adrian swung his Glacial Crescent, and a fierce sword essence swept through, striking the figure in front of him. The figure screamed miserably and flew backward. Adrian didn't believe his move had killed the opponent, so he darted forward, accelerating and ready to launch a stronger attack. The figure dodged, trying to evade Adrian's strike. However, Adrian's sword was a special divine weapon. The attack couldn't be easily avoided.Boom!A muffled sound echoed, and the person was hit and crashed heavily to the ground."That's all?" Adrian sneered. He stepped forward, ready to lift the person from the ground. But just as he was about to, something strange happened.With a bang, the body on the ground suddenly exploded. Countless black mists gushed out, instan

    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.

    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.
