Chapter 954

Author: Celestial Clouds
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

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 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

    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
