The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3453
Following Adrian's pointing finger, Zector saw a collapsed mountainside nearby. Adrian approached it, gently moving the rubble away to reveal a narrow, recently excavated passage."A passage?" Zector was bewildered."I told you the Sword Demon's strength is beyond what you imagined," Adrian remarked.Shocked and unsure of how to respond, Zector bowed and said, "Please punish me, Mr. Adrian. It was my incompetence that led to this—"Adrian raised his hand for silence, then gestured for Zector to stand. "This isn't your fault. Although the Sword Demon escaped, he sustained significant injuries from the sword energy here,” he said."How do you know?" Zector asked."Look at the ground. It's covered in blood. This alone shows he was heavily injured," Adrian explained with a smile."I see," Zector said as he noted the trail of blood that extended from Sword Sanctuary into the dark tunnel. "Should we follow this tunnel to catch him?" he asked.Adrian shook his head and replied, "No. H

"You've worked hard. Leave the rest to us," Adrian said soothingly.Although most of those from Sword Sanctuary were injured, some remained unscathed. Under Adrian's leadership, they gathered the wounded and provided first aid. Once everything was in order, Adrian turned to Zector and said, "Take me to where the Eastania Sword Demon was imprisoned. I want to see just how powerful this person is.""Okay, sir.”Zector led the way, and together, he and Adrian ventured deeper into Sword Sanctuary. From the outside, the sanctuary appeared to be a series of massive buildings. However, the interior space far exceeded what was visible from the outside. The sanctuary had been dug out of the mountains, creating a vast hidden chamber that extended downwards till eighteen levels underground.As the pair descended, the security measures grew increasingly stringent and elaborate. At the lowest level, the walls were made of reinforced concrete and alloy. Even the strongest warriors would find it

Asford was a small town near Sword Sanctuary. Although it was said to be the closest town to Sword Sanctuary, it was located at the foot of the mountain which was tens of miles away. The residents there had led ordinary lives for generations. Therefore, they did not know what had happened in Sword Sanctuary. But of course, the residents were unaware that something unusual had happened. For example, recently, they noticed the animals in the nearby mountains acting strangely. Some that were not commonly seen on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain could now be seen sporadically. Some rarely-seen birds also hovered around Asford, and some elderly residents believed that this was a sign of impending disaster.One day, the peaceful life of Asford was suddenly disrupted by an unexpected event. A family of three—the Pines—living in the town were killed by an unknown assailant. If it were only a simple murder, then this case would have been written off as a home invasion. However

A detective then approached Toval and whispered, "But sir, we don't have any clues right now."Toval frowned. He had no idea what was going on. Logically, if someone was murdered, there should be signs of a struggle at the scene. But in this case, there weren’t any. There was not a single trace of anyone breaking and entering throughout the entire house. Someone might even think it was a suicide. This made Toval feel powerless to solve the case."We'll discuss this further when we get back to the station. For now, we keep investigating," Toval said to his team."I think you should stop searching here. It's useless; there's nothing of any value here,” someone said.Everyone was confused, then noticed someone walking toward them."Who are you, kid? You’re not supposed to be here." The detective scowled at Adrian as he approached.Toval glanced at the detective and said, "There’s no need to be so hostile, Elodie." He then turned to Adrian and said politely, "What do you mean, sir?"

"Elodie," Toval said sharply, glancing at him. He gestured for Elodie to step aside and keep quiet, then turned back to Adrian. "If you really have a way to help us solve this case, I welcome you to discuss it with us."Toval gestured invitingly and led the way back to the station, and Adrian followed him. At Toval's office, he got Adrian a mug of coffee. "What are your thoughts on this case?" he asked.Adrian replied, "I know this case inside out. I know who the murderer is and when he’ll strike again.""You must be joking. Inspector Toval is the most capable inspector throughout all the nearby cities and towns. You’re saying you know something he doesn't? That's ridiculous," Elodie said, not believing a word."Elodie, you don't need to be here right now. Go attend to your duties," Toval said, giving him a pointed look."But sir..." Elodie looked taken aback."Go," Toval insisted, waving him away.Left with no choice, Elodie gave Adrian one more contemptuous glare before turnin

Adrian said, "Don't worry. With me here, there's no need for you to take risks."With Adrian around, Toval's lingering concerns completely dissipated. After all, it was Adrian who had come to his rescue.*It was late at night. All was silent, with no one around. Because of the murder, the entire town of Asford was in a state of deep tension. Families shut themselves in, isolating themselves from the outside. But even so, the chilling atmosphere made everyone feel anxious and fearful. They prayed, hoping the terrifying murderer wouldn't appear again.Under the cover of night, a figure swiftly flew through the streets. Its speed was so fast that those who weren’t looking properly would’ve mistaken it for a gust of wind.Soon, the figure stopped in front of a low, dilapidated house located in the most remote and impoverished part of Asford. The residents here were also the lowest class of society. Just like the others in town, these people were very afraid, fearing the mysterious ki

Aaaahhhh!” Everly let out a piercing scream.The person who broke the wall seemed to become even more excited upon hearing the little girl's scream and let out a sinister chuckle."Everly!" Mia tightly embraced her daughter.As the pair trembled with fear in a corner, the person outside grew more violent. He repeatedly slammed into the door and windows, attempting to break them open."Mommy! Help! Help!" Everly cried as she paled with fear.Though scared too, Mia couldn't retreat with her daughter present. She gritted her teeth and prepared to face whatever was coming.Crash!Finally, the wall of tables and chairs blocking one of the windows came crashing down, and the intruder leaped into the house. The mother and daughter saw that it was a man with towering height. Though they couldn’t see his face due to the dim light, they could sense his murderous aura, and it sent shivers down their spines."Who are you? Please, don't kill us. We're just a poor mother and daughter," Mia b

The man slowly stepped out of the darkness and into the dim light, wearing a faint smile of satisfaction. "Well, I didn't expect my whereabouts to be exposed. You're quite something, kid," the man said.A chilling wind swirled around the intruder, giving off an eerie feeling."I’ve been waiting for you. If you were actually smart, you wouldn't have shown up here so quickly to commit the same offense again.” The newcomer smirked.The person who had intercepted the intruder was undoubtedly Adrian, who had a fierce look in his eyes as if he could see through the other party. And standing across from him was none other than Alfred Cain the Eastania Sword Demon who had been imprisoned under Sword Sanctuary for decades. Alfred’s expression dripped with disdain as he sneered at Adrian and said, "Kid, from our brief encounter just now, I can sense that you’re strong. But you will meet your end here. Before me, you're simply a nobody.""Is that so? But I feel like you're the one who’s a n
