Mya said, “This method is really effective, sir. Come, I’ll apply some for you! Hehe!”Mya giggled, walked over, and applied a messy layer over Adrian’s face before she applied some to his clothes. When she was done with the application, Adrian looked toward the depths of the rainforest and saw a mountain standing tall on the horizon.“The answers should be there. Let’s go and check it out,” Adrian said.“Yes, sir!” Mya answered.Adrian inhaled a deep breath, got down on his knees, and cupped Gloria’s face in his hands. He said, “Wait for me here. I’ll take you home after I’ve uncovered the secrets of this place.” He then stood up, turned around, and walked toward Lincoln.Lincoln was already dead, and he had a quick death. Adrian knew that this was his finishing point. Lincoln knew of this possible future and was mentally prepared for this before he came. It was possible that the homeward journey was the best ending for him.“Rest in peace, Link.”Adrian shut Lincoln’s eyes and
Adrian’s expression was extremely calm. He turned his head and looked at Mya before he replied, “It’s not without scientific evidence. The healing of the wounds is a very convincing example. The island is different from other islands. A living person will be negatively affected by the radiation, but perhaps it can also change the body of a person who’s about to perish.”“Oh god! That sounds outrageous. Resurrection is—”Adrian interrupted Mya. “It’s not resurrection. It’s possible that Gloria and the others didn’t die but are on the brink of death. The radiation here changed their bodies and made their bodies enter a peculiar state. We’ll know after verifying it.”He suddenly stopped walking.“But how do we verify it?” Mya was stunned ever so slightly.In the next moment, Adrian retraced his steps. Moreover, he quickened his pace and ran toward the spot where Gloria’s corpse was at. Mya was startled and went after him. “Wait for me!”In less than ten minutes, Adrian and Mya were
There was still room to redeem themselves.“Go and test the others,” Adrian instructed Mya.Mya nodded.They made their way to the other soldiers in the surroundings and made a cut on each of them. However, something unexpected happened. Blood seeped out of their wounds but it was thick and in a semi-coagulated state.They tested everyone there and received an outcome at last.Mya said, “Other than Gloria, the blood of the others has very low indexes. They were just like Gloria previously, but their blood is now slowly coagulating. What’s the reason behind this?”Adrian stood up, shut his eyes, and pondered over it. His gaze then landed on Gloria’s body. “The answer is Gloria. Search her,” he said.Mya hastily went to search Gloria’s body. A moment later, she found a rock-like object on Gloria. The rock was placed in the pocket of her battle suit.The rock was not huge, only about the size of one’s fist. However, it was hard to tell what it was and it looked very peculiar. Mya
Mya quickly packed up her items and followed after Adrian. She had witnessed a miracle on this trip to Isle 416, and there was no telling what was waiting for them up ahead.Adrian carried Gloria and raised his head to look at the mountain deep in the rainforest, looking eager to get all the answers he was looking for from it. And that was exactly what he was doing.He said, “Gloria, if you’re still alive, I promise I’ll find a way to wake you. Can you hear me? We’re almost there. Just hold on.”Mya, similarly, was looking forward to getting answers. If Gloria was still alive, it meant that the biggest regret in Adrian’s life would be resolved.All of a sudden, a gale blew through the rainforest. It was so chilling that one would shiver despite the lack of cold. Mya shuddered, looked around her, and said, “Sir, what do you think we’ll find on the mountain? You mentioned that War Legate Raiden may be there too. Is that true?”Raiden was the previous legate of Wyvern Peak, and he he
His wound was healed!The stab wound on Adrian’s chest had vanished. Not even a scar could be seen.“You’re…You’re healed? That’s too fast, right?” Mya said with widened eyes. However, she changed her perception and thought about it again. Then, she was no longer astonished. After all, things that transcended reality had happened here.Adrian said, “Looks like our speculations were right. The radiation here affects our bodies and speeds up our recovery ability.”Mya pursed her lips and said, “It has its advantages and disadvantages. We might already be dead if not for the plant juice. What is with that rock? It’s out of this world…”“We’ll find out tomorrow. Let’s get a good night’s rest tonight. We shall depart at the first light of the day tomorrow.”“Yes, sir.”***The next day, Adrian opened his eyes when sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the tree leaves. He found Mya next to him, packing her backpack next, and Gloria lying quietly on the ground.“You’re up. L
In less than three minutes, Adrian and Mya arrived below the platform. Both of them were shocked when they looked at the scene up close.The platform was built into the mountain, and the material used was the rock found on this mountain. There were two same-sized coffins with different engravings placed on this platform entrance to the cave.The caves were clearly holes caused by explosions on the barren ground around the platform. There were clothes left behind, and also tools used to mine the mountain. Some of these tools could even be traced back to a few hundred years ago.However, the abandoned clothes came from different eras. Some were Wyvern Peak’s first battle suits from three hundred years ago, and there were some new ones that were produced just five years ago.Mya gazed at everything in astonishment. She began to wonder if Wyvern Peak’s troops were sent here to build the platform and coffins back in the past. After that, these soldiers left. However, it was simply all a
“Yes, the very one.”Mya opened her mouth and said, “But his head…”Adrian said, “If I’m not mistaken, Raiden was the one who severed Hannibal’s head. Hannibal discovered this place first three hundred years ago and came here to fulfill his wish of eternal life. Raiden then found this place three hundred years later and came here to behead Hannibal.”Mya was so astonished that she was rendered speechless. She looked toward Adrian and asked with a shocked expression, “Sir, what should we do now?”Adrian furrowed his eyebrows.Suddenly, a gush of murderous intent filled the air. Mya shouted, “Get out of the way!”But Adrian failed to get out of the way in time. In the next moment, a strong, powerful fist hit his body and the impact blasted him off the platform before sending him crashing heavily to the ground.Mya screamed, clambered down the platform, and helped Adrian to get on his feet. “Are you all right, sir?”Adrian sat up, and they both looked up at the platform. Raiden wa
Upon saying that, Adrian’s gaze landed on Raiden. A gush of coldness filled the air as murderous intent enshrouded him.Raiden appeared extremely surprised. He never expected to encounter a Wyvern Peak member as soon as he woke up. Moreover, the member claimed to want to kill him. With furrowed brows, he said, “I know you, Draco. You used to be a measly soldier who served my troop in the past. How dare you behave atrociously to me now.”None of this felt fake to Adrian anymore. He walked up to the platform step by step without uttering a word.Upon noticing the situation, Mya hastily called out in a worried tone, “Legate…”Raiden was the previous war legate of Wyvern Peak, after all. His capability should not be underestimated, and Mya was worried that Adrian would be no match for him so she was concerned for him.Raiden’s entire body shook upon hearing Mya’s words. His gaze landed on Adrian. “Legate? Draco, why is she addressing you as ‘legate?’”“What do you think?” Adrian stoo
