Chapter 1820
"Some of the cities are safe now, and I'll take you all there when I get back."The students became excited when they heard this.Pierre said, "We'll be waiting right here for you, sir. Please come back for us.""Of course. I will never leave you all here. Don't worry.""By the way, if you're going to look for Grandpa Crutcher, he lives in a hut in the deepest parts of this village. Although I don't think he's there anymore," Pierre added. "Okay, I'll go look for him there. Does he have any family?" Pierre shook his head. "No, he doesn’t. You can try looking around the village, but I don't know much.""Okay, wait for me here. Do not leave this mine unless you all run into something dangerous. If that happens, find a way to leave behind markings so that I know where to find you."The crowd nodded, and Adrian’s little group left the mine. About half an hour later, they arrived at Peach Village. They were greeted by corpses and dead silence. Most of the bodies were carrying ba

Rozi called out to Adrian, who walked out of the house and approached the body. The old man was dressed in tattered clothes and looked like a beggar. He lay in a bizarre position, and there was a hole in his chest. His long, dirty hair gave him a mad look."Is this him? Rozi asked. Adrian had never met Crutcher, but the corpse's appearance matched his expectations of the man. Crutcher had a reputation for being eccentric and unkempt, which was exactly what the corpse was like."I think so," Adrian said in a defeated tone. Rozi closed her eyes. She found it hard to accept that they had come all this way only to find a lifeless body. She opened her eyes, ready to examine Crutcher's body. However, Adrian suddenly said, "Don't touch him!" Rozi was startled as she looked at Adrian in confusion."Something's wrong,” he said."What is?"Adrian crouched by the body and carefully examined the corpse. "The way he died doesn't feel right."This statement made Rozi and Marissa realiz

Adrian stood up and said, "That's right. Crutcher must be trying to tell us that something is on the mountain. He's gazing directly at it. It wasn't the monsters he was looking at since they were taller. But why? Is he trying to tell us that something is there?" Adrian was sure of his deduction. All the evidence pointed to the mountain. It seemed like Crutcher had left behind some clues.He then continued, "Marissa, I need you to use your X-ray vision to scan the mountain and see what's there.""Okay.”Marissa took a deep breath. The next moment, her eyes started glowing with a faint red light. The trees on the mountain, even the rocks, appeared transparent to her X-ray vision. She searched the mountain meticulously, leaving no corner unexamined.About ten minutes later, the red glow faded from Marissa's eyes, and she excitedly reported, "There's an ancient crypt on the mountainside, and someone's living there. And the person is alive. I saw them move.""What?!" Adrian was aston

Adrian was knocked down by the falling rocks as he shielded Marissa and Ava. The crypt was plunged into darkness. Rozi then brought out her sword and used its glow to see and help Adrian out of the rubble."Are you okay?" she asked."Adrian, please get up," Marissa added, reaching out to help him too.Adrian got to his feet and said, "He found us, so we can't stay here for long. We have to leave the moment we get what we need, or he'll do whatever it takes to kill us here." He then summoned Dragonbane, which radiated an intense light that illuminated the crypt. It was a small crypt, and the area where the trios were standing was the main hall, with the central chamber ahead and several side chambers leading off from it. The central chamber contained a decrepit coffin which retained a little of its original look."He's coming," Marissa said nervously, clutching Ava tightly while taking cover behind Adrian.Rozi fell silent and readied herself.An unkempt man slowly ambled toward

"Did they go to Wonder's world?" Adrian’s brows furrowed."Yes, that's exactly where they went. A total of eighteen people went there."Adrian pondered for a moment. War Legate Achelous was one of the most mysterious war legates throughout Wyvern Peak's history, and he also had the longest tenure of thirty years. He was the one who founded Dragon Peak as well. His activities were quite enigmatic, and there was one mission that no one knew anything about.Achelous took office at the age of twenty-four. He was fifty years old when he had Nadine, whose mother was twenty years younger than himself.At that thought, Adrian asked, "What happened after that?""War Legate Achelous wanted to find out the truth, so he ordered my father to retire and entrusted him with the secret of what he saw in the Celestial Lake. It was my father who had entered the Celestial Lake and saw the future. Achelous was killed by outlanders, but my father suspected he was behind it.""He?" Henri nodded. "A f

Henri's words left Adrian and Rozi in shock.A girl from the Otherworld? And this woman could control the Timewinder, an artifact Wonder had left behind? But who was this girl and where was the Timewinder?These were the questions that puzzled Adrian the most. He looked at Henri with a serious expression. "Who is this girl? What's her name? Where’s the Timewinder? Was it your father who told you all this?"Henri shook his head. "The prophecy didn't reveal any more details than that, nor do I have any information about them. However, I can confirm that the girl has already been born."Adrian and Rozi exchanged glances, their interest piqued about this extraordinary girl's identity.Rozi asked, "Henri, did your father leave any other messages apart from this information? Perhaps about the eagle?""No. My father's prophecy only mentioned the girl and the Timewinder. I don't know anything about this eagle you talk about."Adrian finally understood something. "Looks like Wonder divid

Cough! Henri spat out another mouthful of blood and looked to be in excruciating pain. "My body couldn’t withstand the genetic mutation my father went through, so I've had to null the pain with the help of the meteorites.“I've been hiding from him this whole time, but your coming here has allowed him to find me. And now, he has destroyed the meteorites. He can no longer reset humanity due to the severe damage he sustained. However, he's the one who left these meteorites here, so he has the power in the world to destroy them. Now that they’ve been destroyed, I will promptly follow.”Henri's body curled up, his expression one of agony.Adrian took a deep breath. "Is there anything I can do to help you?" Henri flatly said, "Kill me, or I'm going to turn into like those monsters you saw in Enigma City. The worms in my body have reactivated, so after you've killed me, I need you to burn me. I don't want to become the worms' puppets."Adrian brought out his gun and aimed it at Hen

Marissa was crestfallen, but there was nothing she could do for the cats.Rozi did not seem very interested in the cats and instead asked, "What about the children in the mine? We don't have a car, and we can’t get back through the tunnel. I doubt we'd get to the cave within the day, and there's no telling what might happen during that time." "We fight him," Adrian replied."What?! How?" Rozi asked.Adrian's face was filled with unwavering determination. He was no longer willing to resign his fate to the Creator."I'm weaker than him in terms of strength, but he's definitely not as smart as me." ***Five days later…Krr… Krr… Krr…The communicator emitted some static noises that cleared after three minutes."Does anyone read me? This is Skylar from Wyvern Peak's eighteenth legion. We're currently defending Sormbay City. We have three hundred and thirty thousand Wyvern Peak soldiers and four hundred and fifty thousand civilians. We've erected steel walls around the city. Is
