The Return of the War Legate Chapter 671
The mother and daughter were stunned and speechless when they heard this.In their mind, they always thought of Adrian as a kind and mature man. Yet, on that very day, he had shown them his cruel side, causing the two to see him in a totally different light.They merely stared at Adrian silently as he walked away.***That night, a huge incident happened at St. Elmer’s Church in Swallowston.Mya personally led Wyvern Peak’s soldiers to surround the church before ordering more than a hundred men to dig three feet under the church to see if Kayn had left anything there.It was already late at night, and nobody in Swallowston knew what was happening. Under the cover of darkness, Adrian stood outside the church with his hands behind his back, seeming extremely calm.The soldiers quickly searched through the church. Blade walked over and said, “Sir, we’ve searched through the entire church but found nothing suspicious. Is it possible that he didn’t leave it here?”Adrian believed th

Just as Blade was about to lead a few men down to the hidden room, a silhouette rushed out from within.“Be careful!” Adrian shouted.The person down there was so quick that Blade could not react in time. Adrian quickly pulled Blade backward when he saw that the person was about to attack him. Then, the person came out of the hidden room, dressed in white and wearing a ponytail.The person had no plans of staying there for much longer and quickly dismantled the soldiers and beat them unconscious.“Bye-bye, my friends from Wyvern Peak.”The voice definitely belonged to a woman, and she instantly disappeared, followed by a cloud of smoke.“Get down!” Adrian said.Everyone’s first instinct upon hearing this was to lay low, while Adrian turned around to evade the incoming attack. An explosion happened right after, but nobody was hurt since the blast radius was small.As the smoke subsided, Blade angrily yelled, “F*ck! It was a woman! How dare she get in our way! I’m going to make h

The woman was shocked.She thought that Adrian would still be at the church. How could he have possibly gotten ahead of her?After identifying Adrian, the woman slowly lowered her dagger and pursed her lips. “Hey, Legate, what are you doing here so late at night? Are you trying to stop a helpless little woman like me?”Adrian gestured. “Hand over that book.”The woman quickly hid the book behind her back when she heard this.“It’s not even yours, so finder’s keepers,” she coldly replied.Adrian jumped down from the rock and walked toward the woman, causing the latter to retreat a little. Soon, he stood before her and carefully studied her before asking, “What’s your name? Why did you show up here?”“My name?” the woman chuckled as she said, “Prepare to be shocked when you hear my name…“I’m Bloody Rose’s top assassin—Ivy Cox!“Are you quaking in your boots yet?”“Bloody Rose, you say?” Adrian mumbled.That name sounded familiar to him.Bloody Rose was an organization simila

“Y-You b*stard… You actually hit me. You…”Ivy’s mouth hung open as she found it difficult to breathe.Once she could breathe normally again, her face turned pale as she said, “Don’t you know you shouldn’t hit a woman in the stomach, you b*stard? I’ll never forgive you if you damage my uterus!”Adrian did not seem to be bothered by what she said as he reached out for the book. Ivy tightened her grip around it and took a few steps back to avoid his hand.“You’re no match for me, so give it up. Just give me the book and you can leave.”“In your dreams!”Ivy trembled as she struggled to stand up, but her face was filled with anger as she said, “You think I’d give you the book after you’ve hit me? Do you really think I’m going to let you stand there and bully me?”Adrian sent a huge slap across Ivy’s face the moment she said this, leaving the latter dumbfounded. She covered her face with one hand and seemed to be in a daze.Never in her life had she been beaten by a man. Yet, she w

Meanwhile, Ivy got up and gave Adrian a death stare.Sometimes, a woman’s determination to get vengeance was much stronger than a man’s.In fact, it was clear based on Ivy’s gaze that she was not going to swallow the humiliation she had just suffered that easily.***Adrian was slowly disappearing into the forest thanks to the darkness of the night.When Ivy stood up, a woman’s voice spoke to her through her communicator, “What happened, Ivy? Did you get it? Have you completed your mission?”Ivy said icily, “I did manage to get it, but War Legate Draco showed up and stopped me. I was no match for him. He managed to take the package with him.”“What? This is unacceptable! We must get the book or Louisa is finished!”“I’m heading back now so that we can come up with another plan.”Ivy turned around and left.***After Adrian obtained the book, he informed Mya and the others to return after cleaning up the church. Meanwhile, he headed to the Battle Warrior Department in Swallow
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 676
Nobody interrupted him for even a second, and Adrian ended up engrossed with the book.“Nadine is going to die.”“Draco is going to go missing.”“Mya is going to leave Wyvern Peak.”“The ten battle warriors will die gruesome deaths.”“Millions of valiant soldiers from Dragon Peak shall rise up.”There were countless more prophecies and countless more insults.It was as if Hannibal was laughing at Wyvern Peak, or even cursing them. Or perhaps, he was trying to bring it up to greater heights. Regardless, the prophecies written in the book were not completely false.It was possible Hannibal had indeed come across some kind of unknown knowledge on seers when he wrote this book.At midnight the next day, Adrian sat in his seat and remained deep in thought for a very long time before he finally picked up a lighter and burned the book.The book eventually became a pile of ashes as it burned away.“Sir!”Mya suddenly knocked on the door at that moment and pushed the door open befor
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 677
Mya took a deep breath and looked at Adrian.“I understand, sir. You’re saying that runes are terrifyingly lethal weapons that can be created.”Adrian nodded. “Correct. This old book mentioned a man by the name of Craig Alexander who owned a sword forged with runes. It is said that his sword possessed the power to destroy planets.“Simply put, rune masters would inscribe a few runes onto a weapon that can be freely used by charging it with human technology and a complex string of codes that act as the calibrator. It’s the same as a cell phone’s Bluetooth or charging functions. However, runes are much more complex and mysterious.”“Ah, I get it now.” Mya seemed enlightened.“But why would such a thing appear in the church’s hidden room? Do you know how to activate the runes, sir?” she asked as she pointed to the metal piece in Adrian’s hand.Adrian took a careful look at it and touched the patterns on it before saying, “I used to think that the old book’s records were without scie
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 678
“What do you mean?”Mya was extremely confused and urged Adrian to tell her more.“There’s no such thing as humans being able to predict the future. That’s not something that not even Jesus himself could do.”“I know that, and the only way to explain it is that Hannibal got lucky.”“Lucky? Do you have any idea how lucky he had to be to do what he did? There are heaps upon heaps of humans in the world, but he said Draco was going to become the legate of Wyvern Peak, and it really did come true. I’d say it’s too much of a farce to call that luck.”“What are you trying to say, sir?” Mya asked in surprise.Adrian remained silent for a moment before he looked up. He seemed rather stunned when he said, “Hannibal’s still alive.”“What?!”Mya stumbled a few steps back when she heard this. She looked at her surroundings before saying, “Are you joking, sir? Hannibal was alive when Wyvern Peak was founded by our ancestors, and he was already in his seventies at the time. It’s been more th

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
