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

    In Serpent’s Haven’s night sky, the containers' parachutes opened up, slowly descending onto the island. Remote-controlled drones were on the scene, relaying endless video feeds to headquarters. The sky bathed in moonlight became a lot less peaceful, and everyone hiding inside the containers was quietly waiting for their own container to land.***Back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal and the others were sitting inside the command room, quietly watching the video feed from the drones. Everyone seemed very tense, worried whether the enemy would notice the parachutes. The moment they were spotted, everyone's lives depended solely on the bertrandium's capabilities. The female anchor of Novemton News held her breath, staggering as she said, "War Legate Draco and his team have commenced the paradrop. It would seem as though the enemy hasn't noticed their presence. But over the next few minutes, the enemy radars will detect them."Those watching the news remained silent as though afr

    Ivy did her best to maintain communication with Lena.A war was slowly brewing in the night sky.***At the mountaintop of Serpent's Haven was a temporary base constructed out of tents. This place was in charge of scanning the surroundings through their radars. They were also the assassins in charge of locating Lucas, Steel, and the others. Their mission was to capture one of Wyvern Peak's battle warriors alive.There were guards taking care of the base that night, with people patrolling around the tents. Suddenly, the radar sounded, which attracted everyone’s attention."What's going on?""We've got movement.""The radar shows more than a thousand points in the air… Something seems to be descending via parachutes.""We have unidentified objects trying to land on Serpent's Haven! "I repeat! We have unidentified objects trying to land on Serpent's Haven!""Alert!""Alert!"Instantly, alarms blared throughout the camp, and a group of outland assassins gathered and left the ten

    The moment Ivy dropped, all the workers inside Novemton headquarters, including scientists and professors, quickly calculated where she had landed. Crystal's fists were clenched and a frown adorned her face. Novemton News' anchor excitedly yelled, "The enemy has spotted us! The sky is being hurled with rains of fire, piercing through the parachutes and causing the containers to fall at high speeds! The real battle has begun!" 'It has started!'Everyone waited with bated breaths.***Meanwhile, endless fireballs streaked across the sky. They hit the parachutes and containers, and the massive attacks caused huge explosions on the bertrandium containers. Adrian heard his men reporting one after another."Sir, my parachute's been hit and I'm falling!""My parachute's damaged. I'm falling real fast!""Me too!" Hearing these reports, he said, "We've already anticipated for such a thing to happen, so stay calm, everyone. Your containers have been specially modified to dampen i

    A number of drones arrived at different corners of Serpent's Haven outer areas the moment the containers landed. Some were taken down upon being discovered by the enemies, while some continued to push on deeper into the island. Those watching the news were extremely calm and silent. Time seemed to have stopped for them.Meanwhile, back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal was extremely tense as she said, "Adrian! Adrian! Talk to me! What's your situation?"Yet, nobody responded. She quickly turned around and said, "Assess their physical conditions, now!""I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the equipment on them was all destroyed on impact. I can't use the remote function to find out how they're doing."Crystal took a deep breath and continued, "Draco, report!""Gloria!""Mya!""Somebody! Report to me!"The entire world could hear Crystal's voice, and everyone standing before their television screens was waiting for someone to answer her.After about two minutes, Adrian's voice rang

    Following the voice, more than a dozen men walked out of the woods. They were carrying flashlights, searching for the container that had landed there. Upon seeing this, Adrian quickly activated his container's mechanism and stepped out while the others had not noticed him or his container yet. The leader of the group scoured the place until finally, they found the container."Look! Over here! I've found it!""Hurry, hurry…""How the hell is the container so tough? How did it manage to get away with only slight deformities after falling from such a height?"A few of them were rather shocked.They surrounded the container, while the leader spoke through his communicator. "Headquarters, do you read me? We've found a container at point 45.""Headquarters here. Inspect the containers and report back if you come across any problems.""Roger." The leader put down his communicator and gestured for his men to study the container carefully. Right as they were about to do so, one of th

    At that moment, more than a hundred men in Wyvern Peak's battle suits had set up camp on one of the mountains. They had built themselves a temporary base inside a mountain cave.There were several men standing watch around the cave. Inside, Lucas was lying on the floor with blood all over him. He seemed extremely weak. He then heard his men excitedly discussing something outside. "Klause, what are they talking about? Why do they seem so excited?" Lucas asked weakly, having been severely injured after the Eight Hollows had flanked him. He would be dead if his comrades had not sacrificed themselves to protect him.Lucas was rather curious why his men were so happily discussing something outside. Klause, who was a competent soldier under Lucas, smiled and said, "Sir, there were parachutes all over the sky earlier. More than a thousand airdrop containers dropped onto Serpent's Haven, and Dragon Peak tried to attack the containers. That should mean that our reinforcements have arriv

    Klause was about to lead his men to point 218 for a search and rescue when something unexpected happened…A Wyvern Peak soldier patrolling nearby rushed back and said, "Sir, we've got trouble. Ronaldo Seusse's team has located our base, and five hundred men have surrounded us. The other units on the island are also on the move. We have to switch locations now!"Klause staggered to a halt when he heard this.Lucas took a deep breath and asked, "Did you manage to contact Steel?""Battle Warrior Steel is probably on the other side of the island, making it very hard for us to reach him. We have to retreat at once, sir, before it's too late!""But what about our comrade at point 218?" Lucas asked. Klause took a deep breath. He was planning on going to point 218 to help, but now, it would seem as though they were in a precarious position themselves. If they tried to assist any further, it would surely spell death for them.He replied, "Sir, for the sake of the bigger picture, we must

    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
