The Return of the War Legate Chapter 559
“What’s going on? What are the imperial guards doing here?”“Did something happen?”“Are they here to listen to the choir too?”The confused crowd began discussing with one another when they saw who had arrived. Everyone was now watching the people from Internal Affairs, including Adrian and his family.Juno instantly said, “Looks like something unexpected is going on. I think Chase Gardner sent them to stop the Tenshore Choir from singing about Wyvern Peak’s history.”And she was right.Under everyone’s curious gaze, Elmer Branch’s chief judge, Oswald Manning, led a team of people toward the stage and said, “Stop singing right now. That’s enough from you lot.”“Stop! Stop!” Franzen quickly stopped his people upon hearing Oswald’s command.Oswald then walked up to the stage and Franzen immediately went up to welcome him, saying, “Is there something wrong, sir? Why did you ask us to stop?”Oswald paced the stage as he growled angrily, “Are you the owner of this choir group? You
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 560
Immediately upon receiving their orders from Oswald, the men he brought charged onto the stage.Franzen was pretty badly shaken, while the other choir singers and the spectators were running for their lives. Oswald took a few steps back and his subordinates were just about to take action when a figure suddenly jumped onto the stage, followed by a few painful groans.Immediately after, Oswald’s men were sent flying off from the stage, landing on the ground with heavy thuds. Many gasped in shock at how suddenly all of that happened. Even Oswald took a few steps back.At that moment, the figure landed in front of Oswald, revealing it to be Adrian.“Holy sh*t! How fast can Adrian run?! When did he even get there?!” Joanna, still beneath the stage, was shocked at how Adrian, who was just next to her a moment ago, had disappeared and reappeared on stage in the blink of an eye.Many people were stunned, while Oswald took a look at Adrian before he coldly said, “Who are you? How dare you
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 561
With a loud “pow,” Oswald’s body trembled as his innards turned to mush from the force of impact. His heart was initially racing but stopped beating as time passed.Oswald’s mouth was wide open as he looked up toward Adrian with glazed eyes. He then fell over a moment later. Needless to say, he was dead.Adrian then gestured toward Oswald’s men and said, “Take him away.”“Yes, sir!” Oswald’s men quickly answered and dragged Oswald’s body out of there before frantically making their escape.After they drove off into the distance, Adrian turned around toward Franzen and said, “You and your group are pretty good. Please, continue.”Grateful to Adrian, Franzen bowed and said, “Thank you, sir!”Adrian nodded and walked off the stage, returning to Samantha’s side.The people beneath the stage had a short discussion before leaving what just happened behind them. After all, they had no idea what happened on stage. The choir resumed their singing and were even more serious about it now t

Franzen became visibly ecstatic when he heard this.Adrian was telling him that Wyvern Peak would rebuild when the time was right.As a descendant of a member of Dracolier’s Den, this was something Franzen looked forward to seeing very much.***After Adrian and his family had some of Swallowston’s most famous street food, they shopped for a while and returned home at eleven.Samantha and Adrian went back to their bedroom. He accompanied her into the bathroom to take a shower. Adrian stayed by her side the whole time because he was concerned that Samantha might slip and fall while the floor was slippery.Although they were a married couple, Samantha still felt a little shy and uncomfortable with him being there.The couple went to bed after their shower.Samantha sat on the bed in her pajamas, towel-drying her hair as she asked, “What did you and Carver talk about, dear? Didn’t you say he’s really good at fortune-telling?“Did you not ask him who’s going to become the next leg
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 563
Some people of the past had made use of these coincidences, claiming it to be a prophecy.“What I need to do now is find out who Carver really is. After that, I have to find out the source of this prophecy he overheard.”“Do you believe in prophecies, dear?” Samantha asked.Prophecies held a cultural significance of their own. It did not matter if people believed in them or not. Sometimes, things were destined to happen one way or another.Adrian smiled. “There exist some things that just can’t be explained through science.”Being a learned person herself, Samantha agreed with Adrian’s statement and nodded in agreement.“I believe the first thing you should do is find the source of the prophecy. It won’t bring any harm if it can point you in the right direction.”“You’re right.” Adrian agreed.They both chatted for a while longer until Samantha became sleepy and nuzzled into Adrian’s arms, falling fast asleep. He pulled the blanket over them and folded her into his arms.The n

Hearing this, Samantha replied, “Where else could he go? He’s off to find Carver, of course. Adrian told me that Carver probably came across some prophecies somewhere.”“Prophecies?” Joanna seemed puzzled.“What are prophecies?” Rue asked, not knowing what that was.Joanna then said, “Juno, could you explain it to your mother please?”Juno said, “Prophecies are told by seers that foretell something that may happen in the future. People of the past used to believe in such things. Nobody talks about such things in our current times, but that doesn’t mean that the technique is lost forever.”“I still don’t understand.” Rue shook her head.Juno smiled and elaborated further. “If, for example, I’d like to start a rebellion in the past, I’d find a lot of capable people to write a few books before I mobilize my armies. These books would contain hints that point to me becoming the future emperor, which would then in turn be known as a prophecy.“Prophecies were made up by men, and peopl

After Adrian got out of the car, he asked, “How have you been? Well, I hope.”Mya nodded in acknowledgment before they walked into the university together.“Southeast University is affiliated with Internal Affairs and Bowen Mercer’s the principal here. I’ve already contacted him beforehand, so we can head straight to his office.”“All right,” Adrian said with a nod.As they strode past the campus field, they came across all manner of students. This showed just how popular the university was with its fifty years of history. The university had undergone renovation work around five times, both major and minor.Adrian and Mya soon arrived at Bowen’s office. Due to the bad blood between Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs, Mya had set up the meeting with Bowen using her family name instead. Hence, Adrian’s identity as the legate remained a secret.When Mya knocked on the office door, a man who looked to be more than fifty years old opened it. This man was Bowen Mercer, Southeast Universi
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 566
Bowen found it difficult to answer Adrian as he did not have a deep impression of Kayn.After a very long time, he finally shook his head and said, “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Adrian, but I don’t know him that well. I’m afraid I can’t answer your questions.“Would it be all right for you to tell me what’s going on?”Having no intentions of keeping Bowen in the dark, Adrian told him about the prophecy. Of course, he left out some parts, just in case.When Bowen heard of the prophecy, he said, “Prophecies have become almost extinct now. In fact, not a single one has appeared in Navia over the past few years.”“Does your university’s library have anything related to this subject?” Adrian asked.Bowen returned to thinking for a while before saying, “None as far as I know. But perhaps there are some ancient records that mentioned something about prophecies, but it’d merely be surface knowledge. That’s all we have, I believe.”Adrian and Mya remained silent for a moment before Mya looked up

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
