Crystal said, “What countermeasures do you think we should take right now?”Adrian said, “It’s too early to talk about countermeasures. However, we do have to take control of 416 for the time being. We can use it to our advantage once the meteorite’s mystery has been unveiled and if it is beneficial for us. If it’s both beneficial and harmful to us, we shall sink the island and won’t ever leak this matter to the outside world.”Crystal kept silent.Meanwhile, Celene walked over once again and said, “Your Majesty, Legate, there’s a result from the treatment room. Professor Winslow is asking for all of you.”“All right.”“Let’s go take a look.”Adrian was the first to stand up, and he was joined by Crystal and the others as they headed to the treatment room. More than ten professors and thirty students were having a discussion in the treatment room.Adrian and Crystal walked in.The leader of the medical team was Winslow Moore.Noticing Adrian and Crystal, the crowd said in succ

Upon hearing Adrian’s instructions, Winslow kept quiet for a moment. He then stood up and said, “Sir, this is my duty. I will put in my best efforts to figure out a solution and treat the condition.”“I don’t have much medical knowledge so we’re counting on you.”“Leave it to me, sir,” answered Winslow in determination.Adrian did not comment further. He got up and walked to the room in the treatment room.Noticing that Adrian was leaving, Crystal hastily said, “Adrian, we’ll need you to take the lead on the matters related to Isle 416. I’ve discussed with the elders and have decided to reinstate you as the legate and hand over the authority once again—”Adrian interrupted Crystal, “The head position is yours now. I can set my mind at ease knowing that you’re here.”Crystal had not expected Adrian to decline so quickly. She hastily said, “But you’re the only person capable of leading Wyvern Peak under the current circumstances. I don’t know anything…”Adrian said, “You may consu

The nurses teased Gloria, and she humored them by joining their laughter. Then, the nurses stopped bothering them and left the room.Adrian sat down. Gloria looked at Adrian and said, “I’d like to go out for a walk and tour the city. I want to visit my parents’ graves and see my sister.”Adrian nodded. “Sure. I’ll take you to do it all one by one.”Gloria said, “Most importantly, I’d like to meet Samantha.”“Sure,” Adrian immediately agreed, “I’ll take you to meet her when you’re fully recovered.”Gloria answered with an “mm-hm.”Crystal, the third elder, and the sixth elder walked in. Gloria's gaze fell on Crystal when she saw them. She said in astonishment, “Crystal, is that you?”“It’s been such a long time since we last met, Gloria,” said Crystal smilingly.“It…It has been a long time indeed. It’s been about seven years since we were in military school together, right?” said Gloria.“Yes, about there.”Crystal and Gloria were acquaintances and they used to spend time with

Crystal and the elders left to head back to Novemtom.Adrian and Gloria were left to themselves in the treatment room. They exchanged one glance in unison.Gloria looked at Adrian with a frustrated gaze. Her gaze was filled with an array of emotions. There was the joy of being reunited and the carefreeness of two close friends.Adrian had not felt that for five years.“You sure you won’t regret this?” Gloria asked him.“Regret what?” asked Adrian.Gloria stretched out her hand to straighten Adrian’s collar as she rolled her eyes. “You spent a lot of effort to secure the position of legate. It’s something that many people will spare no effort in becoming, yet you choose to retire after four years. You’re the first legate in the Wyvern Peak’s history to step down after just four years, other than those who died in wars.”Adrian smiled at Gloria and said, “Four years is quite a long time. Also, my body is becoming weaker. There will be a candidate from Wyvern Peak who’s better suit

“Haha…” Gloria chuckled. “Denzel was Adrian’s best friend, and they used to fight a lot. When I was still around, they used to butt heads a lot.”The nurse smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a waste that Battle Warrior Denzel sacrificed himself to save his sister. If he were still alive, there’s no telling who would’ve been chosen as the legate. I heard that Battle Warrior Denzel was even more powerful than War Legate Draco.”Gloria thought about it and said, “They’re about the same, almost equal. However, Denzel was slightly more mature than Adrian. After all, he was two years older than Adrian. Oh right, how’s Denzel’s sister?”The nurse said, “When Excenom invaded the moat last month, Hedgeton was occupied by the enemy. The legate sent troops to protect Hedgeville, and Denzel’s sister was seemingly transported to Yelloton. I don’t know the specific details though.”“He remembered her,” said Gloria.“There was a time not long ago when the whole country was criticizing Wyvern Peak. Howe
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 873
Those three short words embodied deep misery and frustration.Gloria’s eyes glistened with tears. On that eventful day five years ago, she was lying in Adrian’s arms and knew she was about to die. She was very conscious before she died. Thinking back to that time, she felt like she had been in a dream. She dreamt that she was trapped in a sealed space and only awakened upon hearing the fighting noises in the outside world, only to discover that five years had already passed.Gloria lowered her head and wiped away her eyes. She badly wanted to cry. Everything felt like a nightmare.She covered her charming face with one hand because she did not want Adrian to see her tears. Adrian used to regard her as a strong woman back when they trained together in Wyvern Peak. She was fearless and would never shed a tear.But she wanted to cry so badly right now.A strong hand gently held her tiny hand. Adrian stood by Gloria and kept her company as they looked out at the boundless sea.Adrian

In the lab, Shane’s student brought over a hazmat suit as soon as Adrian walked in. He said to Adrian, “Sir, please put on the hazmat suit before you enter.”Adrian quickly put it on and walked into the lab.Shane and a group of professors were observing the data analysis of the rock. Upon noticing Adrian, the group of people called out.“Legate!”“You’re here, sir.”Adrian nodded. “What have you found?”Shane said, “We performed an analysis on the rock you brought back from the island. It isn’t made up of Earth’s organic materials and is possibly from outer space. In other words, it’s a meteorite.”“I expected as much,” Adrian said, “What is it made of?”Shane inhaled a deep breath and replied, “We can’t find any related information on the substances found on it. It’s made up of materials that we don’t know of and there’s plenty of room to study it closely.”Adrian glanced at Shane. “Does it emit some sort of radiation?”Shane shook his head. “No.”“No?”“Yes, it isn’t rad
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 875
Adrian was under the assumption that the meteorite from outer space emitted radiation. But judging from the current findings, it was the worms that were the real cause of the hallucinations.It was these worms that changed Gloria’s body.The truth was unveiled.Adrian felt relieved ever so slightly. It was great news that they made a new discovery in their research on the first day.“Professor Shane.” Adrian turned around and looked toward Shane as he said, “Work together with Winslow to find out a way to stop the worms from continuing the mutation within three months. Find an antidote for Gloria.”Shane said, “Don’t worry, sir. This matter is crucial to the whole country so we’ll devote every effort to this. However, I have a suggestion. I’d like to lead a team of researchers to carry out reconnaissance on the island.”“Apply with Her Majesty. She will assign people to send you there,” said Adrian.Upon saying that, Adrian left the lab. It was already midnight. He returned to t

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

"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
