Tyron was taken aback, sensing the waves of power radiating from Adrian was clearly connected to dragons."This is truly unbelievable. Even if someone were mimicking a dragon technique, it shouldn't generate such a powerful force," the Violet Rain Bird remarked, puzzled. Only Adrian could explain what was happening.Boom, boom, boom!The terrifying Dragon Punch slammed into the surrounding space with a resounding crash. The area shattered with a deafening crack, fragments scattering violently into the void as divine energy from the Prism Stone surged toward Adrian.In an instant, beams of divine light wrapped tightly around him, encasing him completely like a rice dumpling. Adrian’s presence vanished as if he had been erased from the world, hidden entirely from existence.In the distance, the Violet Rain Bird gasped in horror. "No! Master's aura has disappeared!"Tyron’s eyes widened in shock as well. Adrian’s aura had vanished, leaving them unable to sense him. What could have c
It felt like a nightmare enveloping Adrian. For anyone trapped in such an environment, it would be easy to succumb to despair and crumble under the pressure. But Adrian had no choice. He knew the only way out was through his own efforts. If he were relying on the trio outside, they would have already rescued him by now.This realization hardened Adrian's resolve. No matter how strong the stone’s divine light was, he was determined to destroy it.‘I refuse to believe I can't find its weakness. Could it be a formation?’ This thought flashed through his mind. He quickly cast out a series of runes, sticking them onto the divine light. "Break for me!" Adrian roared.Boom, boom, boom!A barrier of energy rose around him, protecting him from harm as the surrounding power exploded violently. Yet the light only trembled slightly, remaining undamaged. It felt like a futile gesture, akin to trying to stop a flood with a cup of water.For anyone else, this situation would have been unbearab
If that were the case, the three of them would likely fall into despair. Their bond with Adrian ran deep, and if anything happened to him, they would feel obligated to help. Yet, at this moment, they were plagued by helplessness, unable to reach him.Boom!A violent force surged forth, and the Violet Rain Bird was suddenly struck with astonishment. "That's Master Adrian's power! He's still alive!" it exclaimed in shock.Tyron and the Fire Unicorn perked up with excitement. Tyron waved his hands, and the Fire Unicorn flailed its tiny hoofs."I'm not done yet!" Adrian shouted as he unleashed a barrage of power.Boom!Everything shattered. Even the very fabric of space began to falter under pressure.Adrian smiled coldly, realizing that his efforts had paid off. His power had surged to the late Divine Stage. He could now sense that he could contend with mid-Divine even without any abilities.Even against a late Divine, he felt he had a fighting chance. This realization sent a chil
Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend
“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos
After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?
The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?Adrian went up to the office.***CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.That was Samantha Cowell.Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.The man was Devin Williams,
Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of
