"Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps the new legate was already chosen even before the showdown began.""Is it Jerome?"Adrian did not give her a definitive answer, but instead said, "Unless a miracle happens." After a moment of silence, Juno said, "Jerome is so much stronger than all of us. I can tell he's an all-rounder, and I also heard he's the reincarnation of five legates.""That's just a title given to him by others. What I can say for sure is that he’s blessed by the Heavens.”"I've heard you speak so highly of anyone before. Do you really think Jerome's that amazing?" Mya asked in surprise as she walked in. This was the first time she had heard Adrian complimenting someone despite all her years of being his subordinate. Adrian smiled. "His maturity and thought process has far surpassed Remy and Polaris. Remy and the others would've had a spectacular duel, but Jerome has changed all that."“That is true. From his earlier battle, it’s clear he's a talented general. S

Adrian, on the other hand, thought their connection was rather amusing. 'I suppose it wouldn't be wrong to say that this was all destined to be. There are times history repeats itself in mysterious ways.'He smiled, thinking how this moment might be the rise of a hero or the birth of a godlike character. After all, battle warriors were usually extraordinary people, while heroes usually left behind a huge mystery for their successors. If Adrian taking over Wyvern Peak signified a new beginning for Novemton, the next person who took over Novemton would very likely bring the country to even greater heights.All of this made him even more eager to see what the future beholds. "We'll discuss this further later. In the meantime, I want this information kept secret." The remaining segments in the selection were nothing more than following standard protocol. After all, it looked like the next legate had already been decided on. After Adrian walked out, Mya suddenly realized something.

The two teams entered the finale of the showdown. It looked like neither team was stronger than the other, and the number of casualties on both sides was equal. Just as both sides had less than three hundred survivors remaining, another five hundred soldiers suddenly emerged from the forest.These soldiers were Sylvia's final hope, who swept through Zack's remaining team.Alas, with three hundred survivors remaining, Sylvia's squad successfully captured the flag!***Horns were blown and drums were played as the flag was waved high up in the air. The spectators stood up, giving Jerome and his team—the ultimate victor of the six-way showdown—thunderous applause."Jerome!""Jerome!" "Jerome!" Jerome's teammates chanted his name. Through this victory, the next legate of Wyvern Peak was born.When the horns and drums stopped playing, everyone stood to attention and saluted as Adrian walked onto the stage."This is the first time throughout Wyvern Peak's history that a six-way

Jerome chugged down the rest of his beer before crushing the can in his hand. He then stood up and headed to the mountain peaks inside The Dome.Sylvia, too, got up and asked, "Where are you going?"He did not answer and just kept walking.***Meanwhile, Adrian was standing at the top of the tallest mountain. The moon's rays shone down on him, stretching out his shadow. Jerome walked over and said, "I feel like I lost myself after the showdown, sir. There are so many questions in my head that I don’t have the answers to. Who am I? Where should I go? What should I believe in? I'm really lost right now. Could you help me, sir?" He buckled to his knees.A breeze blew through the mountaintop, and the moon's rays were a beautiful white.Jerome was seeking answers, answers to where he belonged. Adrian turned around. He saw himself in Jerome, from the same exact moment when he was about to become the legate. He too had stood at the top of Wyvern Peak, lost and confused over what the

"I'm their hero?" Jerome mumbled. "Being a hero won’t be easy. You will need to take everything else into consideration before you even think about your own problems. Remember, you're their leader, so you need to identify all possible issues and deploy preventive measures beforehand. Your mission is to conquer the whole world." Jerome looked up. "Are you saying I'm the person they believe in, and I should do the same?"Adrian nodded. "You're the person they believe in, but at the same time, they're the people who give you courage, motivation, power, and even a shield to defend yourself with. Those are the qualities required in every soldier. You're no longer you, but a legend—a myth the citizens will tell their children, and their grandchildren after that. You're no longer alone, Jerome. You have comrades, a lover, and millions of civilians who have endless hope for you. Even Monarch Crystal has high hopes for you. They are who you should gain courage and strength from, understand

It was not until Jerome had left did Adrian turn around to look at him from behind. Calmly, he said, "I hope you won't disappoint me." ***The next day, the candidates left The Dome for their respective competition venues, along with their friends and relatives.Meanwhile, Adrian returned to Songton. The individual matchup would begin in three days. Surprisingly, he paid no attention to this segment. Instead, he was focused on making plans for Songton's future.Mya became perplexed when she saw this. After a while, she could not stop herself from asking, "What's wrong with you, Adrian? The individual matchups began a few days ago, and there have been several powerful candidates emerging from each venue. Why don't you seem concerned at all?"Without looking at her, Adrian replied, "The outcome has already been decided, so they can watch all they want. I'm only focused on my future right now.""Are you giving up on Wyvern Peak?" Mya asked in confusion. "Wyvern Peak no longer bel

‘If everything happens according to the prophecy, what will Novemton's fate be when the prophecy ends? What would happen to my children and grandchildren?'Based on everything he had experienced, Adrian was uneasy. He felt that someone was plotting something, or that someone was controlling everything from behind the scenes. He had considered this possibility, but there was one thing he was wrong about. He thought it was Hannibal who was pulling the strings, but that was not the case. The real culprit's identity still remained a mystery.Adrian knew without a doubt this person was an immortal who had the power to control everything. This person could predict the future and even change it. Moreover, they controlled life and death. This was why he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. And to do so, he needed to make sure that all of the prophecies in the book did not come true. As though fated, Jerome showed up in Adrian's life a few years ago. Many said Jerome was the reincar
Chapter 1309
Adrian gave out orders for his final plan, which was to prepare for a battle that would take place at Wyvern Peak. Nobody knew what was about to happen as they all eagerly waited for their next legate to be born. Adrian continued to make preparations in Songton over the next few days. Meanwhile, Mya had found talented men from all over Novemton as per his request. Nicholas, who was still in Bortuguesa, was keeping tabs on the outlanders' movements on Adrian's behalf. Three days later, the six candidates flew to Wyvern Peak, ready to fight to become the next legate with the whole world as their witness. These young candidates were about to represent Novemtoners and perform their best.That morning, the elders were waiting in front of the main entrance to welcome the candidates’ arrival. As the plane landed, six young men and women, dressed in their Wyvern Peak battle suits, stepped down from the plane. They radiated heroic temperaments as they stood before Wyvern Peak's generals,
