At four in the afternoon, Adrian left the office and came to the base square. Gloria, Ivy, Mya, Lena, and the other women were there familiarizing themselves with the equipment. He approached them and was to announce that he would be going over their battle strategy tonight.

But upon spotting Adrian, Max walked from a nearby area and called out, “Legate!”

Adrian stopped in his tracks.

“Twenty-one people came from Windton to take part in the mission. They just arrived on base.”

“I believe that should be Blaze and the others. Bring them to me,” Adrian said.

“Yes, sir.”

Soon, twenty-one men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits walked over with long strides from a distance led by Blaze. They appeared extremely calm and exuded vague, murderous intents.

“Blaze.

“Alan.

“Inviz.”

“Greetings, War Legate Draco!” the twenty-one men called out in unison.

Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Blaze and the others. Frankly, he was rather surprised by their arrival. He asked, “Why are you al

    The sky soon darkened, and Azure Creek was lit up brightly.Adrian arrived at the base’s meeting room ten minutes before eight. Gloria, Mya, Eira, Jenine, and the other women arrived in succession. Blaze, Alan, Inviz, Divine, and the men arrived soon after. Lena was there as well, and Max strode into the room.The crowd walked into the office and sat down on the sofas. Noticing that everyone had arrived, Adrian said, “Have you familiarized yourself with the Tempest-1? How did you find the experience?”Adrian then asked Ivy and the women, “What do you think?”“In truth, the Tempest-1 is similar to Bloody Rose’s aircraft. We’ve flown Bloody Ultimafighter so the Tempest F-1 is not a problem,” answered Ivy.Adrian nodded. “How about you, Lena? Have you memorized the basic operations of the glider?” He looked toward her.“Mya has shown me the ropes and I’ve memorized them.”Adrian said, “Remember that this rescue operation is much more dangerous than the ones we’ve experienced in the

    Favorable timing, geographic condition, and teamwork were the deciding factors of a winning battle. On the other hand, the island fog would ensure fifty percent of the operation's success.Adrian said, “We don’t know the specific location of Lucas and the other soldiers on the island. Our first task upon arrival is to meet up with them. I believe Lucas and Steel will have left markers along the way to await rescue, so we’ll need to locate these markers.”He continued, “Our troop will be performing an airborne entry to the island, so we can’t bring a large number of supplies and ammunition due to the weight limits on the parachute. Hence, Max will need to take on a task after we land on the island.”Adrian looked toward Max.“What is the task?” asked Max.“Prepare all the items on the list I’ve given you and store them in airdrop containers. Lock them with Wyvern Peak’s passcode and drop all the containers on the island after our landing. These airdrop containers will serve as the

    Everyone turned their heads in puzzlement upon hearing the voice and saw a young woman slowly walk into the room. It was Juno who was a trainee at Azure Creek Military Academy.Adrian was surprised upon seeing her.Mya said in astonishment, “What brings you here, Juno?”Juno walked into the office and looked toward Adrian on the sofa with a smile. She said with squinted eyes, “I can do something that War Legate Draco can’t, huh?”“That’s Juno? Adrian’s younger sister?” Gloria asked Mya as she turned her head. She had heard Samantha talk about Juno over their days together.Mya said softly, “Yeah, that’s her. The girl is very intelligent, and Adrian intends to let her take over Wyvern Peak.”Gloria’s interest was piqued and wanted to find out the nineteen-year-old girl’s insight.Max said, “Juno is the most outstanding student of ACMA. She came in first in her recent examination. Why don’t we listen to her valuable opinion?”Adrian beckoned for her to speak. “Tell me, Juno. What

    Adrian beamed as he applauded continuously.Gloria said, “You’re so young yet so intelligent Juno. This method will indeed get us on the island. However, it’ll need to be well planned out. On top of that, it may be risky but the risk is not too high.” She gave Juno a thumbs up.Juno said, “We’ll drop a few hundred or even a few thousand specially-produced airdrop containers using Tempest-1. The Eight Hollows won’t be able to destroy them within a short period. Moreover, their snipers aren’t that highly-skilled. Even if they do hit the parachutes, we can install security measures in the containers so that if you’re hiding in those containers, you won’t be severely injured in the case of a free fall.”Adrian smiled upon hearing Juno’s remark. “It seems that I really am old. How did you come up with the idea, Juno?” he asked.“I played a survival game and was inspired by the airdrop container in the game. Serpent’s Haven has been encircled and it’ll be extremely difficult to perform a

    After leaving Azure Creek’s base, Adrian headed to Drogoton in a helicopter. He arrived an hour later, and it was already eleven at night by then.In Gracia’s villa, Gracia, after completing a busy day at work, had dinner and took a shower in preparation to hit the sack. However, she received a call as soon as she got into bed.“Hello?“What? Why would I meet you so late at night? Can’t we talk about this tomorrow?“I’m exhausted after today’s work and I’m really sleepy.“Fine, fine. Wait for me at Glovern’s entrance. I’m coming now.”Gracia impatiently hung up the call and got out of bed. She threw on a skirt and short-sleeved top.The call came from Adrian. It was Gracia’s first time receiving a call from him. Ever since her sister’s return, Adrian’s guilt toward her had vanished.Gracia had no choice but to quickly grab her bag, put on her high heels, and head downstairs. She had no idea what brought Adrian to her. Ten minutes later, she arrived at Glovern. Adrian was alread

    Even though Gracia had plenty of talented employees in her company, two days’ time was too short. It would be absolutely impossible to come up with a design by then.Upon noticing the situation, Adrian said, “We’ll adopt the second plan to enter Serpent’s Haven in the early morning on the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, Lucas and the others will die.”“I could do it if you want me to design some other functions onto the original airdrop container. However, your demands are quite challenging in a way that they will need to be made of completely different materials as compared to before so that they will be attack-resistant and durable.“Moreover, all the suitable materials that we know of in the world can’t be used in this design. The resistance of the containers will be lowered significantly if we were to use existing materials.“Other than that, we’ll need to work on adding the other complicated functions, so it’s utterly impossible to do that within two days.”Gracia propped up h

    Gracia then told everyone about the situation. The crowd of people lowered their heads and began to discuss after hearing her words. Someone expressed their concerns about the difficulty of the task. It would be almost impossible to complete the task in view of Glovern’s current technological advancement.Adrian said, “Gloria has already explained to you the situation. This is our only way to enter Serpent’s Haven. Airdrop is the only feasible way for us if there isn’t any fog on that day. Please do some thinking on what we can do in this situation.”The crowd engaged in a heated discussion.A man raised his head and said, “Sir, let’s review the materials we currently have in our possession. We don’t have a single material that can be used to produce an airdrop container capable of withstanding heavy attacks. We’ll need to combine these materials, but the explosion resistance resulting from combining materials may not be as strong as you imagine it to be.”“I want containers that c

    “It came with a meteorite and has been buried under Mount Cintera for a long time.”The group was disappointed upon hearing Ginevra’s remark.Mount Cintera was located far away from Navia. How far? Cintera was located in the northern hemisphere and was separated from Navia by the radius of Earth. It would be unrealistic to acquire bertrandium within two days.Someone said, “Ginevra, doesn’t your statement amount to saying nothing? How can we acquire bertrandium from Cintera within such a short time? Also, you mentioned that it came in a meteorite. The operation will surely be costly.”Ginevra did not respond to this but looked toward Adrian. “Sir, I accidentally worked with bertrandium while I was studying in Yidalia. It’s far harder than any other metal on Earth. You can use it to make the containers that you need. Moreover, the enemy won’t be able to destroy these containers.”Adrian tapped on the table with his index finger. “Since you’ve already said it, you must have a way to

    Adrian was blatantly threatening her. It was clear he would subject her to torment and death if she didn’t agree to his terms. How could such a person be described as reasonable?Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Adrian and show him her strength.Adrian simply looked at her calmly. “There’s no need to resent me. I’m actually quite agreeable. When things can be resolved, I try to resolve them. As for you, rest assured. During your month of servitude, I won’t make you serve in vain. You’re the princess of Ciawales, correct? It just so happens I have some free time. Let’s head there together.“Also, tell me about the customs and cultures of this world. I’ve been in secluded training for many years and have forgotten much about the outside world,” he lied.Renee was taken aback. Adrian didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be some kind of reclusive expert? His words only left her more puzzled.“How am I supposed to introduce it? Are you not from this world?”

    Was Adrian looking for praise? Renee couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. She wasn’t sure what Adrian was trying to convey. All his words seemed to point to one thing—that he was her savior, and now she owed him her obedience.To Renee, this was a difficult pill to swallow. After all, she was a princess, and Adrian’s implication was that she should lower herself to him. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.Though she felt deeply unwilling, Renee could only grit her teeth and respond calmly, “Yes, you saved me. I’m deeply grateful. I promise to repay your kindness when I get the chance.” She locked eyes with Adrian, waiting for his reaction. If Adrian wasn’t satisfied, she truly didn’t know what to do. The valuable items she possessed were limited, consisting mostly of a few life-saving treasures. Beyond that, there wasn’t much on her that was of worth.Adrian, however, narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “Just a few words of thanks? Do y

    "Spare me! Otherwise, Divine Reaper won’t let you go!" the leader shouted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Adrian.The man looked terrifying, exuding a powerful aura. He was using a secret technique, hoping to escape. But with a casual wave of his hand, Adrian created a barrier that blocked the man’s path.Renee, watching from below, was stunned. Divine Reaper… They were the most feared assassin organization in the Spirit Domain, known for their stealthy and deadly methods that instilled fear in everyone.There was a saying across the Spirit Domain: if Divine Reaper marked someone for death, nine out of ten targets would die. If someone survived, it was because they were of an extraordinary and untouchable status. Clearly, her status as the princess of Ciawales wasn’t extraordinary enough to make her exempt from such threats.Adrian smiled and said, “Nice name, but you’ve offended the wrong person. You deserve to die.” He swung his Soul Devouring Sword.A wave of power surged forth, a

    "I can't believe it! Is this guy really that terrifying? Can we truly not defeat him?" the leader muttered. He gripped a curved blade, which now glowed with a blood-red light.The others around him also had cold glints in their eyes. They were not about to admit defeat easily. Although Adrian was powerful, they weren’t willing to give up without a fight. Adrian had only been killing intermediary Nascents. He hadn’t even touched the advanced ones yet. Most importantly, their leader was at the peak of the Nascent Stage, making him an incredibly strong and fearsome opponent. This alone was enough to show that their leader had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Adrian. They were confident that Adrian couldn’t defeat their boss, especially with them assisting.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying shockwave tore through the heavens, leaving the surroundings trembling violently. Adrian’s gaze was sharp, filled with an intense killing intent.“Die!” he shouted.Bam!The leader was struck har

    Moreover, the strength Adrian displayed was so overwhelming that it left everyone in disbelief. After all, in the Spirit Realm, the physical body of any immortal was supposed to be relatively fragile, and having a powerful physical body was impossible.The group couldn't quite accept the fact that Adrian was out of their league. Yet, no matter how they tried to make sense of it, it seemed like nothing could change the reality of the situation. One of the black-clad men sneered. "Perhaps this kid's physical strength is enhanced by some kind of secret treasure. Once we kill him and take the treasure, we’ll boost our own power." His words were intended to rally the group as if trying to inspire them to believe they were on the verge of victory. Adrian merely smiled coldly upon hearing this. With a murderous gleam in his eyes, his voice turned cold as he said, "Since you're all so determined to meet your end, don't blame me."Adrian threw another punch, and this time, it was a force

    The group's formation suddenly began to shatter. The white light radiated by the formation continued to whip up the surrounding yellow sand."How is this possible?" one of the men gasped in disbelief. This was a powerful barrier set up by several experts in the late Divine Stage, yet it had been destroyed so easily.The leader of the black-clad men sneered. "Hmph! It's just the formation being broken. Most likely it was pure luck for this guy. Don’t be afraid of him."His words caused the others to pause. While his words were meant to reassure them, the reality of the situation was far from simple. It was impossible for them to defeat Adrian, who was proving to be much stronger than anticipated? After all, Adrian’s strength had clearly surpassed that of a typical Divine immortal. Even if he were in the Divine Stage, he had undoubtedly reached the peak. Breaking the formation with ease was impossible unless one was at that level."It's just a bluff," the leader of the black-clad m

    Renee felt a sense of helplessness within. As a princess of Ciawales, she was now left pondering a difficult question.Adrian was unaware of Renee’s thoughts. If he had known that Renee was considering fleeing while he was risking his life, he would not have helped her.As the onslaught of attacks descended upon him, Adrian leaped swiftly into the air. The attacks from the black-clad men crashed into him, but Adrian remained unscathed. This caused the group of attackers to freeze in disbelief."What’s going on?" they muttered in shock as they stared at Adrian, who appeared as agile as a panther.At the moment when Adrian leaped into the air, it seemed as though nothing could stop him. His expression remained calm and nonchalant in the face of their attacks."Is this all you’ve got? You’re really that weak. Feel free to unleash everything you’ve got. Don’t hold back," Adrian said, his tone laced with disdain.The black-clad group was stunned by Adrian’s arrogance. Even Renee stood

    Adrian smiled as he replied, "Is that so? Well, it seems you're just unlucky. The moment you encountered me, your fate was already sealed."His simple words were filled with provocation, meant to make the group before him admit their defeat. If they didn't, Adrian was determined to make them regret it.The leader of the black-clad men sneered and stepped forward. "How laughable. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant brat. Do you really think you're some kind of unparalleled genius? I see your strength is only at the Divine Stage. While I can’t quite tell your true level, you shouldn’t be so cocky. Even with your strength, we can overwhelm you with numbers and wear you down. You really don't know when to quit. Now, I’ve changed my mind. Kneel before us, and we’ll spare you."As the leader was talking, his curved blade gleamed with a faint light. The light from the blade seemed to radiate with a dangerous brilliance, causing Adrian’s expression to momentarily shift

    "No matter who he is, he's no match for us. I advise you to surrender quietly, Renee," one of the black-clad men said.Clinging to the last flicker of hope, Renee was not willing to give up. She charged toward the barrier, unleashing an attack as she did. The strike hit the barrier, and it trembled violently.At that moment, Adrian’s eyes snapped open. Seeing the situation before him, his expression grew cold.Renee continued her wild assault. As her eyes met Adrian’s, an unexpected surge of panic overtook her.The black-clad pursuers were furious. “Hey, kid up ahead! I suggest you mind your own business. This woman belongs to us. If you want to stay alive, leave now."The voice of the black-clad man was booming, and the sound of it echoed through the desert, proving that these pursuers were no ordinary threat.Adrian’s expression turned even colder. He had no intention of getting involved, but when the others spoke so recklessly, he couldn’t just ignore it. As he slowly rose to
