An Extra's POV-Chapter 790 Trials Of Adonis [Pt 1]

The mission would be tough.

Adonis already knew how powerful and ruthless the Dragons could be. The last thing he wanted to do was underestimate them, or the journey he would have to take in order to arrive at his ultimate goal.

He even considered staying in the Capital a while until he was able to gather enough power and resources to depart.

But—

'No! I can't stay here any longer!'

As much as it pained him to admit it, everyone around him was holding him back.

His insane growth would have been even more astronomical if he was alone—taking all the EXP for himself, and moving at his own pace. However, due to his consideration for everyone else—and the fact that he recognized how important allies were—he had intentionally stifled his growth.

The consequence for that was the death of his thousands.

'No more!'

Adonis resolved to leave the Capital—no, to leave the United Human Alliance as a whole.

He would travel due Northwest, to the unknown regions in the Continent—places that only he knew about thanks to his future knowledge.

During the later years of the war—when the resources of humanity were nearly depleted, the Alliance was so desperate in their search for more resources that they sent scouts to various parts of the Continent.

—To the untouched lands.

Most of these expeditions yielded no fruit, but the ones that brought back results were able to turn the tide of war to the favor of humanity for a short while.

A Calamity Class Dungeon to the West, an abandoned Base filled with treasures, the Dark Desert… and so much more.

Adonis had previously planned to take his classmates to these places once the time was ripe, but there was no longer any need to.

He didn't have to worry about them, or the fate of the Alliance anymore.

'Don't worry, everyone! I'll do this myself! I'll save you all by myself! I promise you all!' That was his thought.

Just as he resolved, Adonis left the Capital.

He stole away in the night and advanced Northwest, desiring to harness all the power and resources for himself. There was no need to worry about anyone else.

They would all be saved as soon as he regressed and corrected his mistakes. If he decided to hold on to what he currently had, he would lose everything and everyone yet again.

Whether this was the height of selfishness or selflessness was inconsequential.

As long as everyone was saved.

And so, it began.

Adonis conquered the Calamity Class Dungeon by himself and increased his Level by nearly two times its initial amount, all in just a month.

He obtained Enchanted Items from the Treasure Troves, and he was able to improve his Skills in the Dark Desert.

Thanks to one of the Enchanted Items he found, he was able to disguise himself as a Dragon, as well as suppress his power. This led him to the next phase of his plan—The Dragon Continent.

That was the tricky part.

The future was clearly different from the present, which meant that he couldn't fully rely on his knowledge of the Dragon Continent that he remembered. Even before his regression, the Dragons found a way to sniff the team out despite their best attempts to be covert. Of course, this was due to many reasons—mainly due to their numbers—so Adonis was confident that he wouldn't make the same mistakes that the humans made before his return.

He was also leagues stronger than anyone had been before his Regression, so he was confident that he would pull it off.

Just as he planned, he was able to sneak into the Empire.

However, the next problem presented itself to him—how to reach the Chamber Of Ancients!

The last time, it took the death of tens of thousands of human soldiers—as well as the sacrifice of his classmates—to reach the place.

And all of this was after the guidance of The Oracle.

'Right now, I'm by myself. I can't force my way there. I'd be caught and beaten before I got very far.'

He had to find a smarter way to go about it.

While trying to figure out a way to get to the Capital, he actively investigated places and people, constantly moving from one place to the other, as long as it was close to the Capital. Through it all, he did his best to blend in with the crowd.

Ah… how he wished he could kill all the Dragons that littered his sight. In his eyes, they were all as disgusting as the ones that were sent to the battlefield.

They were disgusting monsters that deserved to be purged from the world.

'Purge… should I systematically purge them while I'm at it? No, that wouldn't work!' The information and investigation system in the Dragon Empire was leagues ahead of anything in most other parts of H'Trae thanks to the their Technology. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

They would sniff him out if he became a serial killer, and all his efforts thus far would be in vain.

Adonis even considered joining the Military, but he quickly banished that thought.

If he wanted to get to the Chamber Of Ancients, he had to at least be a Dragon General, and that required serious qualifications and achievements.

To avoid suspicion, he would have to start at the bottom, and then slowly rise up the ranks.

Not only would this take a terribly long time to achieve, but he would have to commit unspeakable atrocities for the sake of the Dragon Empire to be even considered for the position he needed.

That was not something Adonis could ever do.

'Even if nothing matters in this reality, since I want to change everything… it doesn't mean I'll compromise my morals to such an extent!'

That was what it meant to be himself—a Hero.

Now out of options, completely trapped in a society of enemies, contemplating how to reach his target, Adonis agonized on what to do.

It was at this point that an unexpected answer came to him, and from someone he would never have anticipated.

And that pointed him to the Imperial Academy.
