Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 3691 - Bab 3700

"Sigh, Mr. Renald might have intended for his descendants to go straight to Rippletone Island after their breakthroughs. The only spell recorded in the manual is the Aqua Arrow; there's no technique to locate the source of celestial veins," Adrian lamented.After his cave residence took shape, Adrian focused on transforming its exterior. To maintain the appearance of an uninhabited island, he rearranged the island's flowers, grass, and trees to encircle the cave. This way, anyone arriving for the first time would never suspect a hidden abode in that remote corner.During this time, he thoroughly explored the island, though he still couldn't pinpoint its exact location despite having a sea chart. Nonetheless, he felt content with life on the island, working after the sun rose and resting after it set. But as peaceful days passed, he yearned to explore the vast ocean and sky beyond the island.Adrian’s little island gradually took on a more lively atmosphere. Using wood from a wrecked

Jorge seemed sincere, and Kara knew what he wanted. However, considering the many peculiarities of the island and the advantage of having Gordon on their side, it seemed wise to work together to weather the expected beast attack that night.Pacing back and forth with a smile, Kara said, "Hmph, why are you here, Mr. Jorge? My words yesterday were not a joke.""Ms. Kara, please don't misunderstand. Although I may have been an inconvenience, there is a reason. Tonight, we need to cooperate," Jorge replied. Despite being the pampered scion of his family, he was not a wastrel and had become quite adept at reading between the lines.Kara was uneasy about the upcoming battle too. Though the island appeared deserted, she sensed many dangers lurking around them. For large islands with numerous immortals, beast attacks might be fierce but manageable. These islands often benefited from the attacks, harvesting materials and inner cores from the beasts. However, for small islands with few or wea

The sea turtles wielded formidable defense and destructive power, while the jellyfish's venom and the menacing crab added to the casualties among the Starks and Riggs. The Starks, lacking powerful immortals, faced a more dire situation than the Riggs. If they had been up against human foes, surrender might have been an option, but now they could only cling to survival desperately. In just three hours, their numbers had dwindled to around twenty.Understanding the urgency of eliminating the spirit beasts to have any hope of survival, Gordon suggested targeting the leaders. Even if they managed to survive the next few hours, few would remain alive without dealing with these beasts.Jorge then declared solemnly, "Whoever is willing to slay these beasts, I'll take care of your family forever!"Despite the promise, no one dared to risk their life. As casualties continued to rise, Gordon pointed at one of the Starks' men and commanded, "You, kill the jellyfish!"The man refused, saying d

One blood-red beam of light fell over Forgotten Shore, but it burst like a bubble before ascending into the sky, and Forgotten Shore returned to calm.Adrian didn't think the abnormal celestial phenomenon was just a coincidence. He stared at Kara, hesitated for a moment, and sighed. "This phenomenon is very suspicious. Ms. Kara, please follow me to take shelter." Without looking back, he headed straight for the cave.Kara, having never seen such an astonishing scene, dared not think too much and followed closely behind. This made Adrian think slightly more highly of Kara—she was decisive in times of crisis. But as she thought of the celestial phenomenon, her legs trembled.Unexpectedly, the first-grade eighth-level expert, Gordon, followed as well. Adrian had kept him alive, seeing him as more useful than Jorge. Gordon was qualified to act as a lackey."Old man, do you know what's going on here?" Adrian asked.Gordon shrank back and said timidly, "Venerable Sage, I don't understan

Gordon was somewhat stunned. Despite his extraordinary knowledge, his perspective paled in comparison to Adrian's, who had experienced rebirth. Feeling a sense of frustration, he said, "Doesn't that mean we're heading toward a dead end?""No. This time, humanity will have a long buffering period. Whether we can get through this difficult period depends on the next fifty years.""Fifty years?"Adrian nodded slightly. "I'm afraid maybe not even fifty years. The daemons will stabilize their foothold and counterattack the immortal world before that.""How do you know?" Gordon's fear of Adrian diminished, and even Kara beside him looked shocked."Because the factions value their reputations and opt to retreat rather than engage in battle."After the devastating sounds outside subsided, Adrian conversed with Gordon for a long time, gaining a rough understanding of the daemons.Adrian walked out of the cave, followed closely by Gordon and Kara. They saw blood mist spreading over the se
