The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3450
The next morning, a carriage entered Westania, and from it emerged a person. He was the envoy from the Council of Elders who was tasked with appointing Machias as the mayor of Westania. "Welcome, welcome! You must be tired after your journey. Please, come to the mayor’s residence and have a rest," Adrian greeted warmly. "No need, just proceed with the appointment. Once it's done, I'll be on my way," the envoy replied. Adrian and the others nodded. They understood that the envoy had other matters to attend to, so they did not press him to stay.Next came the appointment ceremony. Luckily, they had prepared everything beforehand, so the process went smoothly. Once everything was done, Machias officially became the mayor. Adrian and the others stood by, congratulating him one by one. Machias was visibly excited. Despite his earlier reluctance, he seemed to genuinely appreciate his new position."Well, now that everything's settled, I should be leaving. We'll meet again someday!" A

Adrian's days returned to their usual calm.But a few days later, he heard an urgent knocking at his door. The intensity and urgency of the sound made Adrian's heart skip a beat, and he felt that something might have happened. He immediately set aside what he was doing and hurried to open the door.Lying at the entrance was Zector Kreig, who was covered in blood and looking as if he was at death's door. Seeing him in such a state caused a chill to run through Adrian's heart. After all, Zector was no ordinary person. He was a powerful person, and very few people in this world could fight him. Adrian wondered what kind of opponent could inflict such grievous injuries on him.Adrian quickly helped Zector inside and began to clean his wounds. "Who did this to you, Zector?" he asked."Mr. Adrian, I-I'm sorry… I-I’ve failed you," Zector stammered."Don't worry about it. You're not just my subordinate, but also my friend. Tell me, what happened?"Whoever harmed Zector was challenging Ad

Despite his grievous injuries, Zector was recovering."Alright…" Zector sighed before recounting the events to Adrian.During Adrian's time in Keltes Mountain, the Eastania Sword Demon launched a powerful assault on Sword Sanctuary. Despite being imprisoned deep underground, his immense power managed to break through multiple layers of restrictive barriers and slaughter the guards. Sword Sanctuary suffered significant losses in the clash, and Zector had no choice but to face the Eastania Sword Demon. However, he was quickly defeated, and he fled to seek Adrian's help."Before I left, I activated Sword Sanctuary's self-defense mechanism. For now, the Eastania Sword Demon is trapped. You must hurry to support them, Mr. Adrian. Time is of the essence!" Zector said.Hearing this, Adrian fell into deep thought. As Zector's superior, he knew he had to act immediately. "Don't worry, I'll handle this," he assured Zector.*Sword Sanctuary was located in the heart of Dragoria. This grand

Following Adrian's pointing finger, Zector saw a collapsed mountainside nearby. Adrian approached it, gently moving the rubble away to reveal a narrow, recently excavated passage."A passage?" Zector was bewildered."I told you the Sword Demon's strength is beyond what you imagined," Adrian remarked.Shocked and unsure of how to respond, Zector bowed and said, "Please punish me, Mr. Adrian. It was my incompetence that led to this—"Adrian raised his hand for silence, then gestured for Zector to stand. "This isn't your fault. Although the Sword Demon escaped, he sustained significant injuries from the sword energy here,” he said."How do you know?" Zector asked."Look at the ground. It's covered in blood. This alone shows he was heavily injured," Adrian explained with a smile."I see," Zector said as he noted the trail of blood that extended from Sword Sanctuary into the dark tunnel. "Should we follow this tunnel to catch him?" he asked.Adrian shook his head and replied, "No. H

"You've worked hard. Leave the rest to us," Adrian said soothingly.Although most of those from Sword Sanctuary were injured, some remained unscathed. Under Adrian's leadership, they gathered the wounded and provided first aid. Once everything was in order, Adrian turned to Zector and said, "Take me to where the Eastania Sword Demon was imprisoned. I want to see just how powerful this person is.""Okay, sir.”Zector led the way, and together, he and Adrian ventured deeper into Sword Sanctuary. From the outside, the sanctuary appeared to be a series of massive buildings. However, the interior space far exceeded what was visible from the outside. The sanctuary had been dug out of the mountains, creating a vast hidden chamber that extended downwards till eighteen levels underground.As the pair descended, the security measures grew increasingly stringent and elaborate. At the lowest level, the walls were made of reinforced concrete and alloy. Even the strongest warriors would find it

Asford was a small town near Sword Sanctuary. Although it was said to be the closest town to Sword Sanctuary, it was located at the foot of the mountain which was tens of miles away. The residents there had led ordinary lives for generations. Therefore, they did not know what had happened in Sword Sanctuary. But of course, the residents were unaware that something unusual had happened. For example, recently, they noticed the animals in the nearby mountains acting strangely. Some that were not commonly seen on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain could now be seen sporadically. Some rarely-seen birds also hovered around Asford, and some elderly residents believed that this was a sign of impending disaster.One day, the peaceful life of Asford was suddenly disrupted by an unexpected event. A family of three—the Pines—living in the town were killed by an unknown assailant. If it were only a simple murder, then this case would have been written off as a home invasion. However

A detective then approached Toval and whispered, "But sir, we don't have any clues right now."Toval frowned. He had no idea what was going on. Logically, if someone was murdered, there should be signs of a struggle at the scene. But in this case, there weren’t any. There was not a single trace of anyone breaking and entering throughout the entire house. Someone might even think it was a suicide. This made Toval feel powerless to solve the case."We'll discuss this further when we get back to the station. For now, we keep investigating," Toval said to his team."I think you should stop searching here. It's useless; there's nothing of any value here,” someone said.Everyone was confused, then noticed someone walking toward them."Who are you, kid? You’re not supposed to be here." The detective scowled at Adrian as he approached.Toval glanced at the detective and said, "There’s no need to be so hostile, Elodie." He then turned to Adrian and said politely, "What do you mean, sir?"
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3457
"Elodie," Toval said sharply, glancing at him. He gestured for Elodie to step aside and keep quiet, then turned back to Adrian. "If you really have a way to help us solve this case, I welcome you to discuss it with us."Toval gestured invitingly and led the way back to the station, and Adrian followed him. At Toval's office, he got Adrian a mug of coffee. "What are your thoughts on this case?" he asked.Adrian replied, "I know this case inside out. I know who the murderer is and when he’ll strike again.""You must be joking. Inspector Toval is the most capable inspector throughout all the nearby cities and towns. You’re saying you know something he doesn't? That's ridiculous," Elodie said, not believing a word."Elodie, you don't need to be here right now. Go attend to your duties," Toval said, giving him a pointed look."But sir..." Elodie looked taken aback."Go," Toval insisted, waving him away.Left with no choice, Elodie gave Adrian one more contemptuous glare before turnin

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
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

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
