Chapter 1721

Adrian slammed the brakes and swiftly exited the car.Nadine was beginning to lose consciousness and control over her legs due to starvation and exhaustion. Only her subconsciousness pushed her forward, keeping her from falling.The monsters behind her were in hot pursuit, but she was too exhausted to continue running. A monster’s claw was about to hit her when a golden light flashed before her eyes. Immediately after, a sword swooshed past her hair, narrowly missing her shoulder.The sword severed the monster’s arm, leaving it screaming in agony.Unable to muster any strength, Nadine collapsed just as Adrian arrived. He delivered a mighty punch to the monster that snapped its neck. The now lifeless monster fell to the ground, but the commotion attracted other nearby monsters. After retrieving Dragonbane from the ground, Adrian unleashed several sword strikes that decimated the remaining monsters before picking Nadine up and returning to the car."Take care of her," he instructe

Adrian retrieved some food and said, "Eat."Nadine heard someone talking to her but had no energy to respond.Rozi said, "She's in horrible shape. She must be exhausted.”Adrian noticed Nadine's heartbeat slowing down. He placed her back on the car seat and performed CPR. Each compression pumped Nadine’s heart, but what she needed most at that moment was food.“We have to get some food in her. That’s the only way she’ll recover,” Rozi urged.Adrian did not hesitate to chew on some food and feed it to Nadine, who devoured the food and spit mix. Adrian repeated the process several times while also feeding her some water. Nadine's heart rate slowly improved as the food in her stomach converted into energy that nourished her body.Adrian checked the time and said, “It’s getting late. We won’t reach Vanglesville before nightfall, so let's rest here and set off early tomorrow morning.""Is it because you don't want her to suffer? Is she someone important to you?" Rozi inquired.Adria

Nadine felt all her hardships had been worth it as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She was ecstatic, even though she was in disbelief that she had run into him.After a while, Adrian pushed her away and asked, "What are you doing here? Where’d you come from?""I was returning to Swallowston after visiting my mother when everything happened. Those monsters attacked me and I drove away, but my car ran out of gas. I had no choice but to run. Before I knew it, I ended up here.”Nadine would never forget those haunting memories. The sudden turn of events had shattered her hope.Adrian had believed Nadine, like Sarah, had vanished. He never expected her to be alive. He hugged her tightly once more after listening to her story. "I thought you were gone. I went to Swallowston and rescued Sam and Nova. They’re alive and currently in Novemton. The city has fortified defenses, and soldiers from Wyvern Peak are guarding the place."Nadine anxiously asked, "Are they all right?""Yeah, they're fine,

Nadine whispered, "Is that Rozi? She looks so much stronger than other women."Adrian gestured for Nadine to lower her voice and said, "Rozi is a princess, after all.""A princess? From where? Somewhere in the West? Is she a royalty of Sormbay? I've never heard of her.""She's from Partingia.""Where's that?" Nadine looked at Adrian, wholly puzzled.Adrian chuckled and explained, "Partingia is an ancient kingdom dating back twelve hundred years. Rozi came out of a coffin in Enigma City and is our companion now.""What?!" Nadine, unable to control her shock, exclaimed loudly and went wide-eyed.Rozi looked at Nadine curiously, leaving the latter embarrassed by her outburst. Adrian continued, "She's from an ancient kingdom and was a princess there. She's probably our great-great-great-great-something grandmother.""You mean to say she’s been alive for over a thousand years? Is she some kind of monster?" Nadine was astonished.Adrian shrugged.Nadine gently patted Rozi's shoul

Nadine fell silent. The extraordinary situation left her lost in thought.Soon after, Adrian drove to the vicinity of a tower just outside Vanglesville. The tower constructed five years ago was tall yet easy to climb. He spotted several monsters nearby and gestured to Rozi. She opened the window and transformed into a streak of light. She resembled a comet that swooshed past the nearby monsters and instantly defeated them."Wow…" Nadine was amazed at what she had just witnessed.Adrian parked the car, and then he and Rozi unloaded the remaining supplies and strapped them onto themselves. Adrian gazed at the tower and said, "We'll spend the night here. Rozi, you take Nadine up. I'll prepare a little surprise for the monsters."Rozi looked at Nadine and said, "Hang on tight, Nadia. I won't be responsible if you fall off.""Hey! It's Nadine!"Rozi ignored her and led Nadine up the tower. Five minutes later, they reached the top just as Adrian finished setting his trap below. She kep

Adrian and Rozi had the ability to protect themselves and complete their journey. Even if they were no match for the monsters, it was unlikely they would end up dying to them. However, the situation would be different if they brought Nadine along.Rozi said, "It's a dangerous journey, and taking Nadine with us will be risky, and she'll only slow us down. Why don’t we just leave her here?" Adrian gave her a side-eye and replied, "I'd rather leave you here on your own before I even think about abandoning her.""Why?" Rozi asked in confusion."Simple. You have the ability to survive while she doesn't. I doubt she'd last till sunrise if I were to leave her."Rozi pursed her lips. "I'm serious though. It wouldn’t do us any good to take your girlfriend with us. Do you have a plan for how we can get her to a safe place first?""Is there any place in the world that's truly safe now?" Adrian respondedRozi was left stumped for a moment. Adrian scanned their surroundings before saying,

Aside from Adrian and Rozi changing shifts once, the night was uneventful. The next morning, Adrian was awoken by the cries of monster birds. When he opened his eyes, Rozi had just sliced off the head of one."The bird monsters are here. We have to leave now!" she said.Adrian looked up to the sky. It was swarming with countless bird monsters with sharp claws and giant wings. Nadine, awakened by the sounds, screamed when she saw the monsters flying toward the tower."Come on! We have to go!" Adrian shouted. He untied the rope that bound Nadine to the tower and picked her up. Rozi stood at the top of the tower, slashing her sword through the monsters that got too close. "Get her to the ground! I'll cover you!"Having to ensure Nadine's safety now that she was in his group, he did not think twice before doing as Rozi told him. At that moment, the roar of countless monsters reached their ears. They hammered away at the tower with enormous hammers. The tower shook and would collaps

Though they managed to escape, the monsters continued to pursue them. Rozi and Adrian pushed onward, attempting to throw them off. After about ten minutes, the monsters slowed down, and the trio managed to break free a little under five kilometers from Vanglesville.Rozi stopped and took a deep breath, while Adrian, vigilant as ever, looked around to confirm there were no monsters pursuing them. He then carefully placed Nadine on the ground. The three of them were covered in green blood, and the nauseating stench filled the air."I stink." Rozi wrinkled her nose as she looked at her blood-soaked attire.Adrian ignored her and climbed up a tree to look at Vanglesville through his binoculars. The place was overrun with monsters. Fortunately, this village was not a large city, so the number of monsters was manageable in comparison to what they had seen in Swallowston and Novemton. Adrian and Rozi were capable enough of escaping the army unless they encountered an exceptionally powerful

Chapter 1729

Adrian did not leave Nadine with a choice since this was not the time to be emotional. Adrian and Rozi had a long journey ahead—an arduous one. Nadine had to stay behind in Drogoton for the time being.After a quick meal, Adrian went off to observe Vanglesville. The village was overrun with monsters, and he could not discern the situation at the War Legate Shrine. "How do we get in? There are too many monsters, and I even spotted a few giant ones." Rozi walked over, equally concerned as she stared at Vanglesville. The situation in the village was beyond their imagination, and it was clear they could not force their way in. There were two main reasons for this. First, their hands would be tied even if they got inside if the monsters were not thoroughly cleared out. Second, the monsters might prevent them from entering the War Legate Shrine, or even destroy them if they tried to force their way in.Their objective was clear—to eliminate all the monsters in the village. The big ques

However, he was in no mood to joke around. "We only have one option.""You already thought of a plan? Well, go on then," Rozi said eagerly.Adrian bent down and drew a map of Vanglesville on the ground with his eyes shut. Though he had never been there, he had meticulously studied the bird's-eye view maps of all the towns and villages, all the way down to the streets and alleys. By drawing out Vanglesville, Rozi could know the layout and streets of the city. The War Legate Shrine was located on the outskirts of Vanglesville, with a stream leading out of the city nearby. Adrian looked at Rozi and said, "We'll have to travel through water since the roads are blocked. There's a stream outside the shrine where the water runs deep and passes through the shrine. That's how we can get inside.""But where do we get a boat? Also, we'd still be attacked by monsters. Don't forget we can't drown the giant ones.” Rozi quickly pointed out."We'll swim there," Adrian explained."What? Swim the
