Chapter 1696
Adrian cleared the path, making it difficult for the monsters on both sides to harm Phillip. The boy was now halfway there. Just a little more and he would reach the truck.However, his mother ultimately proved too heavy for him and he fell to the ground. He tried to get up several times, but it was impossible for a fourteen-year-old boy to handle a fifty-kilogram load on his back."L-Leave me, Phil. Just go…" Winry, having regained consciousness, said weakly.Phillip shed tears and cried, "I won't leave you, Mom. I'll get you out of here and get you the treatment you need.""Y-You silly boy. I-I'm only holding you back. Just put me down." Winry did not want to be a hindrance to her son. Her only hope was to see Phillip survive.Women may seem fragile, but they were incredibly strong whenever it came to their children. In this case, Winry was as strong a mother as Samantha.Phillip refused to put his mother down and kept trying to get up. He attempted to do so several times but

The truck's doors were open, and Nyssa helped the mother and son inside. From a distance, Adrian saw the boy and his mother getting onto the truck safely and yelled, "Get out of here and head to a safe place up ahead!" "Hold on tight, everyone!” Ivy said as she crawled through the truck window and started the roaring engine.The truck bumped into a few monsters as it sped down the road. Countless monsters chased after it, but they could not match the truck's speed. Ivy skillfully drove the truck out of the encirclement of monsters. Meanwhile, the number of monsters in the rest area continued to grow, and Adrian was surrounded. However, the women had no other choice but to focus on escaping.Twenty minutes later, the truck had driven a considerable distance. Ivy finally stopped when she saw no more monsters around the area. Sighing in relief, she said, "We should be safe for now.” She then instructed, “Eira, you've studied medicine. I need you to treat the boy's mother while Nyssa

"I've given her antibiotics, disinfected her wounds, and stitched her up. She should be fine once her fever subsides. Fortunately, the monsters didn't damage any of her major arteries. Otherwise, she would need a blood transfusion," Eira reported.Adrian observed Winry silently, who stirred and thanked them weakly, "Thank you for saving me and Phil. I'm really grateful."Eira smiled and turned to Gloria and Jane. "Can I leave her in your care? I'm going to head up to the roof and keep watch."Gloria and Jane nodded, and Eira exited the trailer.Adrian said, "Get some rest, Winry. You're safe here, and we're going to take you and your son to Novemton. There are defensive walls around the city, and there are many there who can protect us.""That’s great," Winry replied softly as she reached out and stroked Phillip's hair. She urged him, "You should thank them for everything they've done for us, Phil.""Thank you, everyone," Phillip said tearfully.Adrian reached out and patted Phi
Chapter 1699
Phillip's opinion was probably similar to those of many teenagers. Jerome has broken many of Adrian's records, so it was safe to say that he was the favorite among teenagers. However, Adrian suddenly remembered something Phillip mentioned earlier. Phillip had learned about Dragonbane through an old man, and this piqued Adrian's curiosity. He asked, "You mentioned earlier that you heard about me from an old man. What kind of person was he?"Dragonbane was something that very few knew about. Only a few core members of Wyvern Peak knew how Adrian used it to slay the Gost emperor. Phillip shook his head. "I don't know who he was, but people called him Crutcher. He was a cripple from the neighboring village who walked with a metal crutch. We heard he lived up in the mountains.""Crutcher? That’s an unusual name," Samantha muttered."Yes," Winry nodded in agreement. "He walks with an iron crutch and has been called that ever since coming down from the mountains. He doesn't remember

Adrian looked at Philip curiously, as the rest silently waited for Phillip to speak. Even the dog sat quietly on the ground with its tongue sticking out."Crutcher said that a long, long time ago, there was a great demon lord who wanted to annihilate everyone in the world. When humans were on the brink of life and death, many of them transformed into immortals to survive. They formed an alliance to oppose the demon lord."Someone called Wonder then became their leader, and the humans reached an agreement with the demon lord thanks to him. The demon lord agreed to spare their lives, but he took away everyone's memories in exchange."Philip paused for a moment, then continued, "Crutcher also said that Wonder was originally a monster, but he changed after gaining human emotions. He led the immortals in the battle against the demon lord.”"Fascinating!" Adrian said.Crutcher was no doubt an intriguing man, and Adrian had an inkling that the old man had experienced those events first-h

At that moment, anything Phillip said may be the key to changing the world. Adrian felt as though everything that happened was destined.Phillip cracked his head that he felt it was about to explode. Despite that, he could not remember anything else."It's okay, Phil, take your time. He may have mentioned something, but you've just forgotten," Samantha comforted upon seeing Phillip's distressed expression.After much contemplation, Phillip finally blurted out, "He also said that he’s an immortal, and that soon, someone who could change the world would seek him for guidance.""Perfect!" Adrian exclaimed. "Phil, you may just be the one who ends up changing the world. Thank you, you've given me a huge inspiration. Where is your hometown? Where does Crutcher live? I'm going to go find him after we get to Novemton.”"Sir Draco, are you really going to take such a huge risk to find Crutcher just because of something my son said?" Winry asked in concern, "I don't know if Crutcher's still

This was good news. It meant that they were no longer as helpless as they were in the past and could see a glimmer of hope.Gracia continued, "A moment ago, Sir Remy led a team of people to enhance the signal towers at Drogoton to try and expand our search radius. We managed to discover a number of survivors and organizations thanks to him. However, we still don't know how Sir Strider and Sir Dominus are doing."Jerome was in Yelloton, but Adrian was not aware of what was happening within the city. But he knew Jerome would be fine based on how calm the latter was. He then thought of Strider, the most unique among them all. Strider had always been a lone ranger. He was probably devising a plan or investigating the reset.Adrian responded, "Don't worry about them, I'm sure they're fine. Tell Remy he isn’t to give up on anyone unless it's absolutely necessary.""Understood. Is it okay for me to have a word with Riri?" Gracia asked.Adrian handed the communicator to Nyssa and told her
Chapter 1703
With Ivy skilfully managing the wheel, the truck rushed out of the highway exit. Due to their pitch-black surroundings, it was impossible to see if there were monsters lurking about. However, they could not afford to be concerned about that. Ivy simply focused on getting to the village.At that moment, a shadow moved around in the darkness. Adrian raised his gun and shouted, "We've got company! Get ready to attack!" Rat-ta-ta! Nyssa and Eira fired their weapons when they heard this, sending their bullets flying. Monsters cried out in agony, indicating there were quite a few of them nearby.Adrian, Eira, and Nyssa stood back to back, providing mutual support as they fired at the monsters in the darkness. Their gunshots echoed far through the silent night with barely a pause.***At the same time, in the distant village of Kerning, a faint flicker of firelight could be seen. The village had three hundred households and was exceptionally quiet with no sign of any people visible. O
