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
Raiden took a step forward and glared at Adrian standing before him, his knuckles cracking loudly from his tightly-clenched fists.The two war legates of Wyvern Peak stared each other down.Raiden said, “You’re no match for me, Draco. I’m awake now, and Wyvern Peak shall return to me. If you dare to go against me, I’ll kill you.”Adrian did not step back. He mirrored Raiden’s posture and said indifferently, “I’ve always regarded you as a dead man.”“Hah-hah-hah!” Raiden threw his head back and laughed uproariously upon hearing this. He suddenly turned around and sat on his coffin as he said, “Very well, Draco. I didn’t expect you to have changed so much in just five short years. I’m rather curious about how you found me. As far as I remember, everyone who knows about this place is already dead.”Mya said from below the platform, “You assumed that your plan was flawless, but in reality, the walls have ears. Countless countries in the outlands have tried to board this island one aft
Upon saying that, Raiden laughed in a confident manner. He pointed at himself and said to Adrian in clearly-enunciated words, “The answer is simple. I did it so that you’d come here today and wake me. If someone were to fall into a deep sleep here, they would never wake up without being disrupted by external factors. Hannibal is the best example.“Though I have not figured out the principle behind the meteorite until today, the reality has proven that it not only healed my injuries but also made me more powerful.”Raiden smiled with pride.Gloria was Adrian’s closest friend after he joined Wyvern Peak. She offered to join the mission in his stead back then. Now, as Adrian thought about it, he realized it was no mere coincidence.Raiden continued, “I chose you because I knew Gloria had feelings for you. If you were to die on the island, she’d most certainly spare no effort to save you. When that happens, she’ll discover the secret of the island and awaken me. I considered the numero
“Such impudence!” Raiden roared, “Everything that Hannibal meticulously planned is now under my control. Draco, I am now in control of the Eight Hollows. Hannibal was the one who founded the Eight Hollows three hundred years ago. I shall call on them after I leave this island and rule over Wyvern Peak once again.“Hah-hah-hah-hah!” Adrian laughed in a frightening tone.‘The Eight Hollows? They’re already involved in a mutiny in the outlands. Why would they still remember Raiden who’s asleep here?’Adrian said, “Hannibal had arranged for the Eight Hollows to wake him in the future. But because they didn’t wake him, you assumed you had taken control of them. What you don’t know is that the Eight Hollows are involved in a mutiny in the outlands and are in possession of the Dragon Medallion as of this moment.”“What? The Eight Hollows have taken over Achelous’ Dragon Peak?” said Raiden in astonishment.“What else could it be?”“Nevertheless, you’re still incapable of causing much of
Boom, boom, boom!Raiden rushed a few steps forward. With every step he took, the ground underneath him cracked. A powerful gush of overbearing presence filled the air and it made Mya feel terrified.Raiden made his way to Adrian step by step. Meanwhile, Adrian had already gotten back on his feet.Mya was lying flat on the ground and anxiously watching the scene before her. “He’s too powerful, sir,” she said shakily.She was scared out of her wits the moment Raiden kicked her.Upon hearing this, Raiden could not help smiling. “I forgot to mention to you guys that the radiation here has strengthened my body. I’m so powerful that I shock myself!”Boom!Raiden swung another punch at Adrian’s chest when his voice faded away. Then, a series of punching noises were heard. He delivered a total of fifty-eight punches within ten short seconds.Adrian was sent shuffling backward from being punched heavily in the chest. ‘Raiden’s too fast…’And he did not stop as he continued to punch at
“What are you doing?! Have you lost your mind?! Fight back!” Mya stayed on the ground, shouting and crying as she witnessed the scene before her eyes.Adrian did not respond to her.“You b*stard! I’ll fight you till my last breath!” Mya screamed and went to grab the blade that she had dropped on the ground in preparation to run toward Raiden.Suddenly, a slender hand picked up the blade before Mya could reach it. Mya was stunned ever so slightly. Then, she raised her head to look up.She was shocked when she saw the scene before her eyes.Thud, thud, thud!Raiden was still attacking Adrian ferociously. He roared, “Are you having a good time, boy?! Do you still have the courage to behave atrociously at this point? No one walks away from my fists alive!”Adrian smiled, his curled lips infuriating Raiden even more.“What are you smiling about?” roared Raiden.“Stand there and don’t move…”Just as Adrian’s voice faded, an icy cold, sharp blade was pressed against Raiden’s neck.
