“Fire in the hole!”

Gale dispatched the order once again.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Thirty seconds later, loud explosion noises were heard coming from the areas surrounding Bloody Rose’s stronghold. Explosions took place at the coordinates Gale had stated. Bloody Rose’s killers were drowned in a sea of fire from the explosion one by one. Flames raged, dust filled the air, and a cloud of smoke floated over the battlefield.

“This is it. Everyone, cover for Ivy and Eira’s squads at full force so that they can enter Bloody Rose!” shouted Adrian.

“Attack!”

“Get them!”

Boom, boom, boom!

The gunfire was relentless. Alan, Blaze, Gloria, and Mya jumped out from behind the obstacle and ran toward Bloody Rose. Unrelenting gunshots were heard and bodies collapsed to the ground one by one. Some of Bloody Rose’s killers were shot as soon as they ran out. Some were eliminated while searching for cover.

“Incoming from the east! One hundred and seventy-eight degrees!” shouted Emily.

“F*ck! Ever

    “Provide fire support in the east, south, and north so the enemy will mistake it for us coming in great numbers. We’ll lure out a large number of enemies from Bloody Rose, block their escape route, and kill them. This way, Ivy and the others will face one less danger.”Upon hearing that, Gale replied, “All right, I understand.” He turned his head and said to the person next to him, “Paralyze all of Bloody Rose’s systems, control system, and network system. Provide fire support to the east, south, and north.”“Yes, sir!”Wyvern Peak’s people quickly sprung into action.On the battlefield, Ivy and Eira’s voices were heard constantly.Ivy said, “We’ve successfully entered Bloody Rose and there are no casualties.”Eira said, “Entered Bloody Rose. No casualties.”Adrian said, “Ivy, Eira, I’ll cut Bloody Rose’s power for five minutes. The time will be for you to get ready. We’ll reconnect the power supply after five minutes.”“Message received.”“Understood.”Adrian stood on the mo

    The battle was relentless, and Bloody Rose’s chaotic situation was unprecedented. No one expected Wyvern Peak to launch an immediate and swift attack on them.The latter half of the night was cold with piercing wind. Adrian continued to stand on the mountaintop and quietly looked at everything before him. Voices occasionally came through his communicator.Ivy said, “We’ve entered underground level two, but Jenine is injured from a shot in the leg.”Upon hearing her report, Adrian asked, “What’s the extent of her injury? Can she walk?”“I don’t think so. She’s losing too much blood. We’ve decided that one of us will stay to care for her while the rest continues with the mission,” said Ivy.“All right,” replied Adrian.Meanwhile, Jenine’s voice was heard saying, “I’m sorry for burdening the others, Legate.”Adrian said, “Don’t say that. You’ll be fine, Jenine.“Everyone else, continue with the mission.”“Yes, sir!”Ivy and her squad continued with their mission. Adrian had no c

    Gloria looked at her and asked, "Eternity, correct?"The woman looked at Gloria and said, "After all that trouble you went through to reclaim your life, are you trying to die again?""I wouldn't be so sure about that. After all, you might be the one to die in the end," Gloria replied."I thought you people from Wyvern Peak would be formidable. Turns out you're all nothing more than a brainless bunch of glass cannons. Especially War Legate Draco. He's such a careless man. I doubt he even knew how he was killed."It was Eternity who caused the explosion just now. The unexpected force leveled the entire mountain, so naturally, it would only be common sense for Adrian to die. After all, he was standing at the mountaintop. What surprised Eternity was how easily she had eliminated the strongest war legate throughout Wyvern Peak's history.'Looks like they're all nothing more than a bunch of weaklings.'Yet, Eternity's statement only caused Gloria to smile."If you could actually kill

    The woman in front of Adrian had perfect facial features.'She's definitely not an outlander and a bona fide Navian!'At that moment, the woman's eyes glimmered with grief, or perhaps hatred. She coldly stared at Adrian as though she had an endless grudge against him. After she wiped the blood from her lips, she drew out another dagger from her suit. It was clear that she had steeled herself to fight Adrian until one of them was dead.Adrian frowned. ‘She seems to be prone to using the same tactics. If memory serves me right, this is the second time she has found someone to impersonate her.’A ball of fury grew inside of him. It was clear that the woman he was facing at that moment was not the real Eternity.Adrian immediately spoke through his communicator and said, "Ivy, Eira, Eternity may already have entered Bloody Rose through some other route. Keep your eyes peeled."Ivy responded, "Understood."Adrian said nothing more after that. Instead, he quietly looked at the woman b

    Adrian fell silent, while Louisa took a deep breath and said, “I have no more family left in this world. I used to think Ivy and the others were my family, but it turns out I was too naive. They abandoned me for their own sake.""Is that why you've given yourself to Eternity entirely?" Adrian asked."Shut up! Do you know what despair feels like?!" Louisa yelled, seeming extremely agitated. She furiously continued, "You've never been through what I've experienced, so you'd best not ask me to call on my better conscience. None of you know… Not even Ivy and the rest know how Eternity treated me after they all turned to you for help. I've been living in a constant nightmare ever since!“I had no other choice… My heart has long died since they abandoned me."Ivy and the other women had been ordered to retrieve the book from St. Elmer's Church's secret room in Swallowston. In the end, thanks to Adrian, their mission failed miserably. Being unable to return, Ivy and the others, who were L

    Louisa was stunned and slowly put down her hands as Adrian's words echoed in her ears. Finally, she lowered her guard completely.Adrian walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ivy hasn't given up hope, even now, Louisa, and you shouldn’t either. I'll get you out of here, I'll take you home so that you can pay your respects at your parents' graves. I'll take you back to your hometown so that you can reunite with your relatives and neighbors. All you have to do is trust me."One more thing, we need to fight for all those things."Louisa looked up in a daze after listening to Adrian's words. She silently gazed at him before asking, "Is it true? Can I really go home? It's been more than ten years now, and I really miss home. Can you really take me home?" Her tears streamed down her face.Adrian nodded in all seriousness. "Yes, I can. Not only can you go home, but you can also fall in love like the others, put on a white wedding dress, and form a family of your own."Lo

    "Why does she want the bertrandium?" Adrian asked."I'm not sure, but there’s no doubt it’s extremely important to her. In fact, every single person left behind here in Bloody Rose is just a sacrifice who had zero value to her."Plus, I heard that Bloody Rose's headquarters had already moved elsewhere a long time ago, and the people here are all meant to be her sacrificial pawns."Louisa had been staying there for many years, so she would sometimes hear pieces of gossip.Adrian replied, "Are you saying that Eternity has people transporting the bertrandium through this secret passage?"Louisa nodded. "Yes, they're transporting it. The entrance to that secret passage is three levels beneath that entrance, and I know how we can get there.""We don't have to go there. I need you to get me to Eternity. I'll make arrangements for the rest."After that, he spoke through his communicator again. "Gale, scan the area and find an exit through the underground. It should be somewhere close t

    ‘Looks like she expected us to make our move.'At that moment, all of Eternity's actions showed she was planning on discarding the stronghold. On top of that, she wanted Adrian and the others who entered to be buried beneath its explosion.When Louisa heard the news, she anxiously yelled, "We need to gather everyone! Eternity must be planning on blowing up this place the moment they leave. I'm sure they're moving through the secret passage right now."Adrian frowned. 'She's a rather formidable character to have made it this far. However, she’s about to lose if she has made such a move.'At that thought, he said, "Ivy, Eira, get everyone out of here now! We'll meet them at Seatum.""Yes, sir!""Retreat!"Adrian turned around and said, "We should get out of here too, Louisa. Eternity has made this a lot easier for us by doing as such."After that, he brought Louisa out of there at once, while Ivy, Eira, and the other women made their hasty retreat as well. Everyone managed to get

    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
