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

Max immediately got ready upon receiving his orders.Still confused, Ivy asked, "Don't you think it's bad to celebrate a victory you haven't won yet, Adrian? Are we really ending the mission when we haven't saved anyone yet?"Adrian remained silent.Meanwhile, Gloria smiled and said, "The battlefield is always changing, and there will be times when even the best-laid plans may change at any given moment. And every time there is change, there's a chance the entire battle may end."According to our original plan, it’d be extremely difficult for us to succeed if Bloody Rose chose to fight to the bitter end. However, Eternity has chosen to abandon the stronghold and leave, which means we can end all of this."Ivy and Eira exchanged looks, still confused about what was going on.Gloria smiled. "You'll understand in a moment."The two women shook their heads and stopped asking questions.***Meanwhile, on the third underground level of Bloody Rose, were people moving around through
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 983
The entire passage was hit by a series of earthquakes thanks to the continuous explosions from the surface. The team transporting the bertrandium picked up the pace as their transports were rushing to get to the other end of the passage.Aside from that, a group of women was following the team of killers toward the end of the passage in confusion. They were all nurtured by Bloody Rose to become killers, and their lives had been confined to this place a long time ago."Hurry up! Pick up the pace!" someone inside the passage yelled.The higher-ranking personnel within Bloody Rose got into their vehicles, while the killers, who were the lowest-ranking, were on foot and being urged to move faster. Of course, Eternity herself had gotten in a vehicle with a few of Bloody Rose’s directors."What the hell is up with Draco? There's no way Wyvern Peak would attack if they knew he was in here."One of the directors said, "I don't think he's up there. What we should focus on right now is gett
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 984
The other women wiped away their tears, feeling extremely helpless.Another woman asked, "Do you think War Legate Draco will kill us when he gets here? What's Eternity planning? Do you think she's going to force us to fight Wyvern Peak later?""I don't know." Helen shook her head. "But, in any case, we should all play it by ear no matter what happens later. Take care of yourselves and don't give up hope.” She tried to motivate them with her words.The women took a deep breath and continued running despite how exhausted they were. If they stop running, the bertrandium-loaded cargo trucks would run them over without hesitation.Bloody Rose was making a full retreat, while Eternity sat in her vehicle, still seeming as cold and prestigious as ever. She turned around to look at the darkness behind her and unconsciously clenched her fists. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'm going to kill you for ruining my plans multiple times, War Legate Draco!”"Move!""Faster!"Bloody Rose continue
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 985
Helen, who was running through the secret passage, was carrying a small communication device on her. It made a beeping noise as a link was established. She had secretly snuck that communicator out with her when she left.Usually, Bloody Rose would only hand them these communicators when they went out on missions. Thus, these communicators were extremely important to Bloody Rose's headquarters.Helen frowned when she saw her communicator flashing, having no idea who was trying to contact her. When she turned around and saw that nobody was paying attention to her, she picked up the call."Hello?" Helen whispered.Meanwhile, at Wyvern Peak…The operator said, "We're connected, sir."Adrian walked toward him immediately and said, "Hello."When Helen heard the voice, she whispered, "Who are you?""I'm War Legate Draco of Wyvern Peak, and I'm speaking to you from Wyvern Peak. I'm here to save you all."Helen was instantly shocked when she heard this, and her expression changed drast

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

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
