He arrived at the topmost part of Wyvern Peak which faced a tall snowy mountain.

Standing there, Adrian seemed to be lamenting over something. He was imagining the time Eternity was beaten up by her stepmother.

"Are you feeling sad about what happened to Eternity in the past?"

Without Adrian noticing, Gloria, who was wearing a windbreaker, came to stand behind him with a smile on her face.

Adrian glanced at her and nodded. "Her heart might’ve been pure in the past, but it became twisted after her stepmother’s constant abuse. I think someone deliberately lured her to tread on this irreversible path."

Gloria sighed. "You're right. Perhaps she, too, was a victim, just like Ivy and the others. I doubt she would've arrived at this point if someone wasn’t pushing her from behind."

"That's right," Adrian replied.

"Who do you think it was? You already have an answer in mind, don't you?" Gloria asked.

Gloria knew Adrian as much as Samantha did despite being separated from him for five y

    At three in the afternoon, Adrian led Alan, Blaze, and the others back to Azure Creek's headquarters as Helen brought her sisters to Novemton to accept Crystal's assignment.Before parting ways, Helen, Louisa, Ivy, and the others promised they would go out for barbeque and beers and gaze at handsome men after they returned from Serpent's Haven.***The group arrived at Azure Creek two hours later.Upon arriving, Gloria, Mya, Alan, Blaze, and the others remained on high alert. They sat together, intently studying the map of Serpent's Haven as Lena bombarded them with intel about the place.Meanwhile, Glovern at Drogoton was building containers out of bertrandium as quickly as possible for the paradrop. Everyone in the company was busy with their respective tasks.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Gracia, who told him that they had completed the containers required for the paradrop and wanted him to test them out.Adrian rushed off to Drogoton upon receiving the call.

    Gracia gestured at Adrian and said, "What do you think? Is there anything that needs improvement? If there’s anything, you'd better tell me now before it's too late."Adrian remained silent. After a moment, he asked, "Is the mechanism inside easily accessible?"Gracia replied, "I knew you were going to ask that. We've set up three methods to activate it. The first is through fingerprint, the second is a facial scan, and the third is with a key. We've put those in place in case of an emergency.""Can the mechanism open up from the outside?""No, it can't be opened from the outside. Only the person hiding inside can open the container. We did it this way in case they get spotted by the enemy, which would mean certain death for the person inside if they manage to open it.""That won't do," Adrian replied."Why not?""If the person inside gets into some sort of accident or some kind of illness acts up while they're inside, causing them to be unable to open up the box, how do you pro

    Night gradually fell, and the sky turned dark.At that moment, many people in Novemton were closely following the operation at Serpent's Haven. Lucas and the others had been trapped there for two days, making that night the final chance for them to be rescued.Glovern did as Adrian requested and fully modified the airdrop containers, while the meteorology department closely observed the weather changes at Serpent's Haven.Back at Azure Creek's headquarters, Blaze and the others were all ready and waiting for their orders. Meanwhile, Tempest-1 arrived and hovered above Drogoton before making its landing. After that, more than a dozen cargo trucks rushed out and headed for Glovern to pack up the containers inside.That night, Crystal, the elders, the secretary, and other core members sat inside Novemton’s main hall. They anxiously waited for that night's operation to commence. This was a secret operation that not even Novemton had announced to the public. Although Novemton was fundam

    Everyone in Novemton was engrossed with their lives. Very few knew that at that moment, a storm was brewing in Azure Creek and Drogoton. Many were unaware of War Legate Draco's secret operation.Time soon passed, and the people of Drogoton could see more than ten cargo trucks appearing on their streets, transporting something they failed to identify as the trucks headed to the airport. The Tempest-1 was parked inside, causing the people of Drogoton to gossip among themselves.Outside Glovern's main entrance, the last cargo truck left the building and headed for the airport. Finally, Gracia heaved a sigh of relief.'I suppose I've done everything I could. We managed to build those airdrop containers for the rescue mission. Now, it's up to Adrian and the others to do their part.'At that moment, her cell phone rang, revealing to be a call from her sister."Riri?" Gracia answered."We’re almost back at Azure Creek with the containers, Cici. After that, I'm going to Serpent's Haven i

    The Tempest-1 soared across the skies, carrying everyone's hopes for the future.The communicators were radio silent, but everyone was paying close attention to the operation.Novemton had already picked out the best reporters to ride on choppers with cameras at hand. They were going to record everything that happened in Serpent's Haven from every angle for all of Navia to watch.At eleven o'clock, Tempest-1 finally landed at Azure Creek's headquarters, where Ivy, Alan, Blaze, and the others were all lined up and ready to board. As soon as the aircraft landed, Adrian and Gloria walked out and stood before everyone.Adrian said, "We'll begin the operation shortly. I don’t have anything special to say this time, but I want all of you to remember that from now on, every step you take isn't for your own sake.""Yes sir!" everyone responded.Adrian then asked, "Have you written your wills?"Everyone nodded.Seeing this, he said, "In that case, we're all set to depart. Lena, have you

    At Yellowton News…"Novemton has issued an order for us to enter Serpent's Haven as media support to War Legate Draco's operation. We need to send out all of our camera drones and do everything we can to enter Serpent's Haven remotely."Meanwhile, at Serpentshire News…"This operation is a covert mission to save Battle Warrior Lucas. At the same time, it's an operation that's worth the public's attention. Our mission is to remote-control our drones and do whatever we have to do to get them into Serpent's Haven. This way, we'll be able to provide them with intel at all times."Various media platforms scrambled into action, while all of the television channels were tuned into Novemton. It was half past eleven when Novemton Television broadcasted a report throughout all of Novemton.A female anchor stood before the camera and said, "It's been two days since the Eight Hollows, Dragon Peak, Bloody Rose, and other organizations have trapped Battle Warrior Lucas, Steel, and the others in

    The darkness of the night continued on.Adrian and the others were quietly sitting inside Tempest-1. Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, and the other women were very calm. There was a chance that they may die on the island, making that place their final destination. At that moment, they were all wondering why they were doing this tonight.Perhaps, it was for that shred of dignity they have, or for the sake of having a warm family.Adrian suddenly asked, "Nyssa, did you call your brother and tell him about what you're doing before you left?"Nyssa looked up when she heard this. "I talked to Terry on the phone, but I didn't tell him I'm coming here so that he wouldn't worry about me."Adrian smiled and replied, "Good luck. Make him proud of you and aspire to be like you."Nyssa smiled and nodded. "I will. This is the first time I'm on a mission filled with pride. I finally feel like I’m useful.”Adrian nodded, while the others exchanged looks and all laughed at the same time.He then continued, "

    "Nine…"The countdown began, and the drones following behind Tempest-1 were closely recording this exact scene. Crystal and the others, who were inside Novemton's main hall, all stood up, quietly watching the screen. The same went for everyone else in the world as the computer-generated voice continued the countdown."Six…"The anchor from Novemton News sounded very excited as she said, "The countdown for the paradrop has begun! After it ends, we’ll be seeing War Legate Draco and his brave soldiers entering Serpent's Haven to save their brothers!""Three…"Two…"One…"Wee-woo!Tempest-1's alarms blared.The whistling wind could be heard before the first container was dropped. After that, its parachute was opened up before slowly descending toward Serpent's Haven.Tempest-1 continued onward, followed by container number two, then three, four…Ten.Twenty.Five hundred.One thousand.Finally, countless containers filled the skies with their parachutes, slowly descending to

    Edgar was determined to annihilate Adrian, and so he charged up his attack once again. The ground quaked, and towering trees fell one after another.Adrian’s eyes glinted coldly as he watched the scene unfold. He understood exactly what was happening and knew there would be no peace until one of them was defeated.Filled with a bloodthirsty desire, Edgar wanted nothing more than to kill Adrian. Adrian’s face darkened as he prepared to meet him with equal ruthlessness.At that moment, Edgar finally finished charging his attack and rushed forward. His sword transformed into countless blades that sliced through the air with devastating force.Adrian sneered. "Oh? So, you do have some skills, but I still advise you to surrender."Hearing this, Edgar's face twisted in anger. Adrian's remark felt like a blatant insult as if he was looking down on him."I’m going to destroy you!" Edgar swung his sword from an unexpected angle, aiming to break through Adrian’s defenses.Adrian sneered an

    Adrian spoke calmly as he led Renee swiftly onward. He had no intention of lingering here. His destination lay elsewhere, and he didn’t want to waste time.As for the man pursuing them, Adrian had already gauged his abilities from his sword techniques. At most, Edgar had some skill, but Adrian was confident he could overpower Edgar in swordsmanship.Edgar, fuming with rage, shouted, “I don’t believe it! Are you some kind of sword expert?”Edgar’s attacks grew even more ferocious, his swordsmanship wild and fierce, as he charged forward. He was determined to end Adrian’s life here and now. Being known for his swordsmanship, Edgar could not tolerate being treated with such disdain. His heart burned with fury and unwillingness.Adrian glanced back dismissively and said, “I already told you, your swordsmanship is child’s play. Yet you refuse to believe it. How pitiful.”Edgar was nearly driven mad with rage. He had honed his swordsmanship for years, yet Adrian mocked it as child’s pla

    “I can sense your strength. It’s decent, but you’re not qualified to fight me. This isn’t something you should get involved with," Edgar threatened, looking down on Adrian.Adrian’s expression turned icy as he retorted, “Is that so? I suggest you leave now. While you may have some strength, you’re not capable of swimming in my muddy waters.”Adrian was using Edgar’s own words against him, and Edgar’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected such resistance while trying to assassinate the princess.“Haha, boy, did you take care of that assassin group? It seems you have some skills, but you’ve made the wrong enemies. I advise you to step back before it’s too late,” Edgar said, visibly irritated.The assassins he had sent out hadn’t reported back. It seemed that Adrian had dealt with them. Otherwise, where could they have disappeared to?Adrian smirked. “I’ve already told you, you’re not qualified. Leave now. I don’t enjoy wasting my breath.”Adrian’s dismissive tone was almost like giving

    Renee hadn’t expected their pursuers to catch up with them so quickly. It was much faster than she had imagined.Adrian’s expression darkened. He hadn’t anticipated that these people would return so soon. Who exactly had Renee offended? It was clear that their attackers were no ordinary group, and their strength was not to be underestimated.Adrian could sense that the opponent’s power was nearly equal to his own. He looked into the distance and said, “If they won’t show themselves, then let’s go.”With that, Adrian grabbed Renee and sped forward. Renee felt her body was completely out of her control as Adrian pulled her along at a breakneck pace, moving with incredible speed. It was as if Adrian were carrying a small chick. He moved swiftly with Renee in tow.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The sound of projectiles slicing through the air reached their ears again. Adrian, carrying Renee, dashed deeper into the forest, evading the incoming hidden weapons. Behind them, a shadowy figure pur

    If Adrian could return to his original world, he could use the methods discovered in this one to eradicate the daemons there. Once that was done, everything would be resolved.The thought filled Adrian with a chilling satisfaction as he recalled the detestable daemons. Had it not been for the daemons, he wouldn’t have ended up lost in this world, nor would he have disappeared. Now, his primary task was to thoroughly investigate everything and uncover the secrets needed to destroy them.Renee, hearing Adrian’s words, felt a bit helpless. She realized that Adrian had likely planned everything out well in advance. Regardless, returning to Ciawales was her only option. Without Adrian by her side, she would not be strong enough to get back.With no other choice, Renee led the way, moving swiftly alongside Adrian. Within moments, they had traveled over a thousand meters. Time passed slowly, and as they continued onward, the sky gradually brightened. It seemed they had finally exited the d

    Adrian’s gaze sharpened, his expression icy. The situation seemed far from simple. He realized that he needed to better understand this world. If the daemons truly existed here, it might hold similarities to his own underwater world. Perhaps, the secrets of this place could provide a way to break through the obstacles he faced.Adrian suddenly thought that his arrival in this world might have something to do with the presence of the daemons. If this world contained a method to eliminate the daemons, then maybe, just maybe, he could use it to destroy the daemons back in his world.This thought filled Adrian with a surge of excitement. He looked at Renee and asked, “What was the name of that Emperor Supreme?”Renee sighed with a hint of helplessness. “The Emperor Supreme was immensely powerful, an unparalleled figure since ancient times. No one really knows his true name. He is simply referred to as ‘Emperor Supreme,’ a title of reverence given to the most powerful beings in the Spiri

    "Let’s set off then. The journey should take a few days," Adrian said, his gaze sharp and decisive. From his expression, it was clear he had everything planned out.Everything was falling into place for Adrian. He was well aware of his unfamiliarity with this world, so it was crucial for him to learn about it quickly. Renee, being a princess of the empire, had an in-depth understanding of the world. Having her as his guide was the perfect choice in his opinion. Although Renee was clearly reluctant, she had no choice in the matter. He needed a guide, and she fit the role.Renee felt helpless at Adrian’s demands but couldn’t find the right words to respond. Adrian was too shrewd, and his strength was far from ordinary. His incredible power left her wondering just how he had cultivated to such a level. Knowing the extent of his strength, she understood that trying to fight him was impossible. She had no choice but to comply.Looking at Adrian, Renee said, “If we head in this direction,

    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
