Gracia chuckled and pulled Gloria toward the village.Gloria turned her head to Adrian. "Wait for me in Drogoton. I'll contact you when Cici and I get there," she said.Adrian made an "okay" gesture and watched the sisters return to the village. Shortly after, he left Thompsonville and headed back to Drogoton.***The news of Gloria's return caused a sensation in the surrounding area. Many living nearby Thompsonville came to see her. The village had organized a feast and set up over a hundred tables in the square to celebrate her return.Gloria was extremely happy that day and was inseparable from her little sister. Gracia stayed by Gloria's side, even insisting on going to the washroom together. She wanted to cherish every moment she had with the person she thought she had lost.Gracia could finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. She had been reunited with her sister, whom she thought she would never see again for the rest of her life. Thus, her lonely life ended,

Gloria followed Gracia back to her place, revealed to be a luxurious and extravagant villa. Gracia had been living here for some time.Gloria was delighted when she arrived at the villa that she explored everything inside, feeling how fresh and new the whole place was. Indeed, as Gracia said, this was the happiest point of Gloria’s life over the past five years.The sisters bathed together, cooked together, sat on the couch in their pajamas chatting, ate snacks, and watched TV together. They only had each other in their minds the whole time. The entire villa was now filled with the joyous laughter of two sisters who had been separated for five long years.***The sisters ended up falling asleep in each other's embrace that night. Meanwhile, Adrian stood on the upper floor of a hotel near the villa, quietly gazing at Gracia's villa, lost in his thoughts.The television in the room was broadcasting a series of news. Recently, news of the Wyvern Peak soldiers assembling had spread th

The night grew darker and darker.The next morning, the weather was especially hot. Summer had unknowingly arrived. Women up and down the street were donning short skirts, showing off their slender legs.Adrian woke up early that morning and pulled open his curtains. He then received a text message from Gloria.[Cici and I will be visiting Glovern today. After that, we're going shopping for some clothes in the afternoon. Cici even said she'd buy me some jewelry. Do you want to come along?]Upon seeing Gloria's message, Adrian quickly replied…[Have fun, but remember we're in a time crunch. We’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.][Okay.]After ending the conversation with Gloria, Adrian left the hotel to head somewhere. He was quite familiar with his way around in Drogoton, and that was because a certain someone lived in the city.This person was Ben Davis, codenamed Draven.Ben was a resident of Drogoton who joined Wyvern Peak five years before Adrian did, thus making him co

Adrian instantly recognized the old man.It was Aiden Davis, Ben's father.Aiden used to be a martial arts instructor, and it was Aiden's influence that led Ben to join Wyvern Peak. Aiden longed to be on the battlefield since he was young. Yet, the former martial arts instructor had grown so old that he found it difficult to even chop firewood."Let me help you with that.” Adrian walked over and took the ax from Aiden's hand, who was slightly taken aback.With one swing of the ax, Adrian managed to split the firewood apart.Aiden took a few steps back and quickly recognized Adrian. "A-Adrian?”"You remember me?" Adrian laughed.Adrian had been to their house with Ben once. Although it was only for a day, Aiden had a sharp eye for faces and had a deep impression of Adrian. Plus, Adrian's fame as War Legate Draco had spread far and wide, which made it much easier for Aiden to recognize him."What are you doing here, sir?" Aiden chuckled. He then took out a cigarette from his pock

"Actually, I heard it from Ben. He's still in contact with a few of his old buddies, and they mentioned it in passing. You’re here to send Gloria home, aren’t you? I suppose that includes this visit?" Aiden asked in response.Adrian nodded. "Yes. I originally didn’t want to come here because I didn't want to see Ben. I always feel a lot of guilt whenever I see him. He must feel really bad not being able to fulfill his dreams.""He has been doing much better over the years. He has gradually come to accept the life he's in and often speaks very highly of you. Still, I wasn't expecting you to become the legate," Aiden said."It’s all thanks to the alcohol he brought me back in the day." Adrian chuckled.Upon hearing this, Aiden laughed and clapped his hands. "Goodness me. I would’ve forgotten about that if you hadn't mentioned it. Let's have a drink while you're here. It's been a really long time since I've gotten a few drinks in my system. My wife always stopped me, you see.""Sure,

"Hey, guys," Adrian politely greeted them.Illana pushed Ben over in his wheelchair and smiled. "What brings you here all of a sudden, War Legate Draco? You should've told me earlier so that we could've made some preparations."Adrian revealed a wry smile, while Ben said, "I could smell you the moment I saw the car parked outside. Still, I can't believe you're actually here!"Adrian smiled and walked over to give Ben a bear hug.Ben hugged back and smiled. "It's been a long time, brother.""Yes, it has!" After letting go, Adrian continued, "I'm here to send Gloria home and I thought I’d pay you guys a visit while I'm here in Drogoton. I wasn't intending to come here initially because… Hmm… I don't know how to put this, but I get kind of sad at the thought of coming here."Illana smiled. "Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, sir. I'm extremely grateful to you for bringing Ben home alive."At the time, it was Adrian who dragged Ben's severely injured body away from the p

Seraphine handed Adrian a cup of tea. "Have some tea, mister.""Thank you, Sera," Adrian said with a smile."Are you War Legate Draco, mister?" Seraphine suddenly asked."Huh?" Adrian was slightly taken aback.Seraphine replied, "My father tells me stories about you all the time. He always talks about how incredible you are. Even my history teachers in school would tell us about you, saying that you're Azure Creek's hope and that you led the people in Azure Creek against the bully outlanders."You're really awesome, mister. Are you afraid of dying?"Adrian replied, "Yes, I am."Seraphina was surprised to hear his answer. "What? You're afraid too? But my teacher said soldiers aren’t scared of death."Adrian laughed. "That's because our home is always being invaded by our enemies. If we surrender, we will all die, but if we fight back, there might just be hope for us. That's why even if we have to die because of that glimmer of hope, we still fight back."Seraphina was processin

Adrian and Ben exchanged smiles.After becoming fathers, they bid farewell to the times they spent together in the past.***Illana soon churned out a few dishes for lunch. Adrian and Ben sat down to drink, this being their first reunion after many years. They reminisced about the past, recalling the little moments they had shared.Alas, the time for them to part ways arrived, and Adrian was ready to leave after finishing lunch."Ben, I don't know when we’ll meet again after today, so let's hope our friendship remains unchanged and true for the rest of time. Until next time, my brother."Illana pushed Ben along and accompanied Adrian to the courtyard."I don't know what else I can say to you, to be honest. But, as a retired soldier of Wyvern Peak myself, I sincerely hope you'll select a candidate fit enough to inherit your legacy.""I will." Adrian nodded."Goodbye, mister!" Seraphina waved to Adrian.Adrian smiled at her and said, "I'm sure you’ll grow up to become a woman w

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

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

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
