Chapter 768

Author: Celestial Clouds
Elaine looked at Alan in silence.

‘Who’s going to protect us?’

At that thought, she recalled the battle at Azure Creek where hails of bullets rained, and the countless battles Wyvern Peak had been involved in throughout history.

From her recollection, Wyvern Peak was present during all these battles, while Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentry had not done anything spectacular.

‘Come to think of it… Alan’s right.

‘Most of those in the Prefect Sentry have never been on the battlefield. Aside from that, there aren’t any famous generals among them. On the other hand, Wyvern Peak has Lucas Jenner, Raquel Zayn, and many other generals who have valiantly fought in battles.’

Elaine was stunned at this realization. In a daze, she asked, “Do you think War Legate Draco would be able to abandon our borders if we do get attacked? Do you think he really has dissolved Wyvern Peak for good?”

“The public opinion against him this time was too strong, so much that he couldn’t withstand it and admitted

    On this very day, a group of beautiful women was gathered on the ground floor of Swallowston’s Battle Warrior Tower.They were Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, and the others.Following Wyvern Peak’s dissolvement, the battle warriors were moved elsewhere in a hurry, leaving Swallowston empty. Thus, Ivy and the other women lost their protection, making them feel anxious.“We had such a wonderful future here in Wyvern Peak, but it’s now dissolved. We have nowhere to go now, so what are your plans, Ivy?”The women were gathered on the ground floor. Internal Affairs had already taken over the place, so all the Wyvern Peak members were forced to clear the area.Ivy and the others were carrying their luggage.Eira shook her head and sighed, seeming helpless as she said, “Where’s Adrian? I haven’t been able to contact him for almost ten days now. What the hell is he thinking?”Ivy pursed her lips. “Even ACMA’s been shut down. It looks like Wyvern Peak really is done for good. We can’t stay here in ca

    However, Adrian remained silent.Not hearing an answer, Ivy spoke, “You could’ve at least told us you were alive! You seem rather carefree after dissolving Wyvern Peak. Do you have any idea what might happen now? I’m sure you know better than me.”Eira added, “Have you given up completely, Adrian? Do you realize what this means for the world? I think dissolving Wyvern Peak was a foolish decision.”“Please say something, sir,” Nyssa said.The women all looked at him in silence.After a very long while, Adrian finally turned around and swept his gaze over them.“Where are you all planning to go? Away from Swallowston?”Ivy tidied her hair and said, “Yes. We have to continue living on even though Wyvern Peak is no longer protecting us. We have to leave Swallowston and find a safer place to live in. We will surely die if we stay here.”“I’ve ordered ten thousand men to guard Swallowston in secret. They’ll ensure your safety, so you can continue staying here.”Ivy was surprised to

    Adrian brought Ivy and the others back to his villa after that.Rue was watering the plants when they arrived. She called out when she saw her son returning, “Adrian, you’re home!”Adrian nodded in response.Meanwhile, Samantha hurried out of the living room when she heard the commotion. When she saw Adrian, she instantly revealed a smile and said, “You’re finally home, dear. Where have you been these past few days?”Adrian smiled back at her. He then turned around toward Ivy and the others. “Make yourselves at home, go ahead and choose whichever room you like.”The women nodded and sped off into the living room in excitement.Meanwhile, Ivy reached out her hand to Samantha and said with a smile on her face, “I’m sorry for everything that happened before, Madam Legate. It was nothing more than a misunderstanding. I do hope you’ll forgive us.”Samantha shook Ivy’s hand. “I’ve got a rather bad memory and have completely forgotten everything that happened before. You’re all going t

    “We will, don’t worry. By the way, how do you plan on dealing with Emily? I just visited her at the hospital this morning, and she’s almost fully recovered now.”“Bring her here to live with you.”“Understood,” Ivy said nothing more after that.Samantha exited the bedroom shortly after that, dragging a suitcase behind her.“All packed, dear. When are we leaving?”Adrian got up. “Let’s leave right away. We’re picking someone up at Southrive and will head for Southrive Airport early tomorrow morning.”Samantha nodded.Adrian said, “We’re leaving now, Mother. Take care of yourself.”After that, he turned toward Ivy and added, “I’m leaving this place in your hands.”“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure not to disappoint you. Safe travels, and come back soon!”Adrian smiled and picked up the suitcase before they both left.As Ivy and Rue watched them leave, Samantha turned around and said, “Oh, Ivy, could you please help me tell Jojo that we had to leave in a hurry and couldn’t inform her

    The trio stayed in a hotel for the night.The next day, Mya drove the three of them to catch a flight to Mount Pallor. They arrived in Pallorton that same afternoon.Pallorton was a tier-two city—its name derived from Mount Pallor. This mountain was Navia’s oldest mountain and a popular tourist attraction. The view there was out of this world, and countless tourists visited the place every day.When they arrived at Pallorton, the trio immediately headed for Mount Pallor and found a hotel there to spend the night. They were going to enter the mountains early the next morning.After a night of silence, Samantha and Mya put on sun visors and wore clothes that made them seem mature. When they left the hotel with Adrian, they saw the looming Mount Pallor piercing through the clouds.Outside, there were countless tourists lining up to spend their day in the mountains.Mya smiled happily and placed her backpack on Adrian’s back. She then grabbed Samantha’s hand. “Let’s go, Sam! I hear t

    In truth, he was hiding deep within Mount Pallor.“Are you saying Reagan’s in Mount Pallor? Why would you want to see him?” Samantha seemed extremely surprised.The people did not know much about Reagan, but he had been a mature man who was in his forties at the time. Over the years, Internal Affairs had erased almost all information about him.Mya smiled. “Don’t you get it, Sam? Reagan’s Adrian’s ace in the hole. The only thing he can do now is to help Reagan rise to the top.”Samantha shot a glare at Adrian. “Didn’t you say you aren’t going to get involved anymore? Why do you want to start now? Have you not had enough of the world insulting and cursing you?”It was evident that Wyvern Peak had been overthrown after the incident at Windton. Hence, Samantha was slightly furious that Adrian was still trying to get involved with the matter.Noticing her anger, Adrian said, “This isn’t what you think, sweetheart. I suppose you could say Reagan’s a friend of mine. I came here to meet

    Upon hearing this, Samantha moved over and sat next to Adrian.Adrian said, “I can drive you guys, but I’d advise you not to venture too far in. Tigers have been spotted there. All right, get in then!”“Okay, thanks!” Elsa smiled when she heard this and got into the vehicle. She then yelled, “Get in, guys! We should thank this handsome, kind samaritan for giving us a ride.”“Thank you!” A few women giggled.After that, all eight of them got into the vehicle and Adrian drove further into the mountain.At that moment, the four men sitting inside were ogling Samantha and Mya. They originally thought that their girlfriends were pretty enough. But faced with these two gorgeous women, they were dumbstruck.A few of them then noticed Samantha’s belly. The young man called Ayden Wight whispered, “Hey, look, she’s pregnant. She has to be four or five months along by the looks of it.”The young men laughed. They even cursed and said, “F*ck! What a waste of a perfectly fine woman!”Elsa s

    As the trio walked away, Elsa led Ayden and the others down the mountain road and into the forest.Before they left, Adrian heard a few of the young men cursing at how a fine woman had been wasted on him. He paid them no attention and said, “Reagan lives in a wooden hut not too far from here. We’ll be there after a short walk. Let me carry you there, sweetheart.”“That’s—”However, Adrian already picked her up before she could even finish.Feeling helpless, Samantha wrapped her arms around Adrian’s neck.Meanwhile, Mya said, “I’m so jealous of you, Sam.”Samantha smiled, while Adrian ignored her.The reason they did not leave Samantha at the hotel was that Adrian could not rest easy with her out of his sight. To him, Samantha would be safest by his side.Adrian carried Samantha for more than an hour.It was two in the afternoon when they arrived at a wooden hut in the forest. It had three entrances to the east, south, and west and a little fenced courtyard. There were turkeys,

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. 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

    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
