"They're afraid that the Juwanian King Jorvahn will lead a force to Dramon and affect their plans. That's why they wanted to kill everyone. Their goal is to find the Reincarnation Pill in Dramon," Belinda said as she analyzed the situation.Sebastian frowned, deep in thought. Soon, he nodded in agreement.That was the only explanation that made sense.Otherwise, there was really no reason for the Yutarian Warriors to slaughter all the Yvantonian Warriors when there was no grudge between them."They killed all of my people. As long as you keep me safe, I'll tell King Jorvahn about everything that happened here. I can guarantee that King Jorvahn will destroy all of them, and he won't hold you responsible," Saul said urgently to Sebastian and Belinda. Sebastian and the Warrior League were Saul's last hope. They were still more than ten miles away from the city, and it would be impossible for him to flee there if he had to run. Besides, the enemy would be sure to chase after him if
Blake was shocked to see that the apprentice had been killed right in front of his eyes. He waved quickly to his right and left.There was the sound of doors opening and closing as over 200 Warrior League apprentices jumped out of the cars.The rustling sound in the woods could be heard from either side of them."The assassins have caught up!" Saul said nervously.Although he was very confident in Sebastian's skills, he was still only one person. The Warrior League had more people, but the assassins were in the shadows. It was a disadvantageous situation for the Warrior League.There was a sharp whistling noise as countless throwing spikes shot out of the woods. Several Warrior League apprentices fell to the ground."Turn off the car headlights!" Sebastian shouted at the Warrior League members.All the car headlights were turned off at once, and it became pitch-black. Sebastian opened the car door softly and leaped into the woods. There was the crunch of bones breaking, and
Belinda nodded slightly and said, "Hold grand funerals for those who are dead and take care of their families.""Yes, Madam," Blake replied. He looked stern as he waved at the Warrior League apprentices. They all quickly picked up the corpses of the Warrior League apprentices on the ground and carried them into the cars.Someone took out gasoline and poured it over the assassins.Sebastian lit a cigarette and took a few drags. He then flung it at the pile of corpses.As flames roared into the air, Blake said coldly, "Get into the cars and let's go!"The procession of cars began driving toward Ventus Estate. …After Luigi had managed to escape, he stopped a few miles away. The assassins who had followed him slowly gathered together.After counting the people present, Luigi couldn't help sighing heavily. Out of over 300 assassins, almost half of them were dead. How was he going to explain this to Giovanni?"Warrior League!" Luigi clenched his fists viciously."Mr. Coppola, m
The losses they had suffered that night were too severe. More importantly, they had offended Jorvahn.Giovanni felt that there had been nothing wrong with his plan. The only mistake they had made was in allowing Saul to escape, which resulted in the entire thing getting exposed."Mr. Conti!" Luigi's voice came from the doorway as Giovanni was wiping down the blade."Please come in, Mr. Coppola," Giovanni said as he continued to wipe down the Yutarian saber.The door was pushed open, and Luigi walked into the room. When he saw that Giovanni was actually wiping down his Yutarian saber, his eyes widened."Mr. Conti, are you…"Giovanni smiled bitterly and said, "It's what our superiors want. I'm sure that someone will come and take over for me tomorrow morning."He sighed deeply.Luigi hastily pressed Giovanni's hand and said, "Mr. Conti, this has nothing to do with you. This is all due to my negligence."Giovanni shook his head slightly and said, "That is no longer important. How
The Yutarians would be very likely to try and penetrate the three divine mountains to find the Reincarnation Pill if they were unable to find anything in other places.The Warriors that had been sent to Steinberg were probably only a distraction.Steinberg was just a small city, after all, and Sartvale was just a small state in Dramon that didn't have many legends in its history.The three divine mountains were different. Every single mountainous region contained countless legends and stories.The Medcroft had been named as the place where the Way of Wisdom had originated.Norlyn was named the home of deities.Meanwhile, Caela was called the gate to paradise. Even in the present day, there had been no one who had managed to explore the three divine mountains thoroughly. No one could reveal the secrets of those three divine mountains either."Madam Dragon, do you mean that we should delay them or destroy them here in Steinberg while we also send someone to keep an eye on the th
Blake commanded a few Warrior League apprentices to load the Medcroft Cauldron into the car before gesturing politely to Sebastian. "After you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian said goodbye to Belinda before getting in. Afterward, he handed Blake a bottle of Gold Remedy. "How are your injuries?"Blake shook his head. "I'm fine. However, you need to be careful after getting back, Mr. Ballard. I'm afraid that the Yutarian Warriors aren't going to let things go so easily."Sebastian hadn't been well-known before, but after what happened in the arena, his name had spread fast. "Don't worry. Let them come if they want to," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.…When Sebastian carried the Medcroft Cauldron into the convenience store, Nina and Lyanna both turned to look at him."There's something strange about this cauldron," Lyanna said, frowning. She could sense a frightening tendril of energy from it. It was an ancient, powerful object that was very mysterious, and it clashed with her ghostl
"Sebastian will be okay, won't he?" Whitney asked, glancing worriedly in the direction of the backyard. Rose shook her head slightly. "Those two often have friendly sparring with Mr. Ballard. You don't need to worry."Whitney felt a little more at ease after hearing that. Rosalie, on the other hand, wasn't worried at all. Sebastian was Nina and Lyanna's master, so they would never actually hurt him.Turning to Whitney, she said, "Ms. Sutton, let's go back inside and continue our discussion about the expansion of the pharmaceutical factory."Whitney hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."…When Sebastian and the others reached the grove, Nina suddenly leaped into the air, aiming a kick at Sebastian's chest.At the speed that Nina was going, Sebastian wouldn't have had time to react to her sudden attack in the past. But now, he seemed to sense Nina making her move in advance. Taking one step back, he raised his arm and lightly blocked her.Although Sebastian felt he
The moment Sebastian and Lyanna arrived at the clearing, she shot toward Sebastian like a bolt of lightning.Sebastian used his Wind Phantom move to face her.A series of blasts erupted between them, and waves of energy burst forth. Even Nina felt the energy roiling inside her.In the blink of an eye, Sebastian and Lyanna had already exchanged hundreds of blows.Suddenly, Lyanna retreated to a spot more than 20 feet away and stared at Sebastian in surprise. "How could you have such a strong force of energy?" she asked in disbelief.Back then, even Otto hadn't dared to face her attacks head-on. But Sebastian had managed to withstand hundreds of them. What was more, the energy inside his body hadn't weakened in the slightest. In fact, it actually seemed to have gotten stronger.The more they fought, the stronger he became. Lyanna knew exactly what level Sebastian had been at before. He was a Cultivator in the Eldoria realm, so how could he have produced such a terrifyingly ex
As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell
Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
Rexton's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched. He stared at Samson with a wary look in his eyes. He and Samson were two minor stages apart. It was no laughing matter. If the two of them began to fight, Rexton would be sure to die if he didn't have any external assistance."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Samson sneered as he asked in a cold, accusatory tone. That flipped a switch in Rexton's head. His expression changed instantly, and he turned a fierce look on Samson. "Afraid?" he asked through gritted teeth.As he spoke, Rexton seemed to make up his mind. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pale blue paper charm, which looked thicker than usual.The paper charm was oppressive to look at. Sebastian instinctively sensed a threatening energy approaching!Even Samson looked wary when he saw the paper charm."Uncle Rexton, this is a Soulcrush Charm. Great Uncle Arnaud has clearly said that no one in the Ballard Estate is allowed to use spiri
Sebastian immediately felt the pressure around him drop. The feeling of being pinned down disappeared as well."How dare you—"Before Rexton could finish, a shadow flashed past him, and Samson popped up right in front of him.Samson stuck out his finger as if it were a sword and tapped him on the chest. Although Samson hadn't used any strength, Rexton could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was a dot of scarlet light that swirled around Samson's finger. A crimson rune was gradually appearing, and there was a chilling, murderous sensation in the air. Sebastian gasped. He had finally realized how the mystic spells should be used, and he was in awe. It wasn't that Sebastian was unable to do it. It was just that up until then, he had only seen the mystic sect apprentices of the secular world. Perhaps their understanding of how to use mystic spells was too superficial, which was why Sebastian's perception had also been affected.Realization only dawned on him when he saw
At Rexton's roar of fury, everyone turned to look at Samson, who was still standing there quietly without moving."A traitor? Murder?"There was finally a flicker of emotion on Samson's face. A sudden glimmer of light flared in his eyes, which had been devoid of life for a long time."Rexton, you know very well how your father died!"As Samson spoke, he walked toward Rexton with a steady step as he said, "I admit that I've wronged Sebastian and his mother. I was just too soft-hearted back then. That's why I believed your lies and tried to keep the big picture in mind for the Ballards, but look at how you've treated me!"There was suddenly a cold glint in Samson's eyes, and he said in a thunderous tone, "You set up a series of traps and tried to kill and torture my wife and son!"You pursued them until the ends of the earth! If my mentor hadn't rescued Sebastian, do you think he'd still be alive today?"Did you just accuse me of murder? Did you ever think of the fact that we're f
Sebastian felt his blood boiling.Although he had once hated Samson because of how he had kicked Sebastian and Isabella out of the family, Samson was still his flesh and blood!When he saw how Rexton was mocking and humiliating Samson, Sebastian felt extreme fury.However, the restrictive force around him was just too strong. Even though he used every skill he had ever learnt, he still couldn't get out of the Skylock Spell's restriction. He could only watch them be smug and arrogant.At that moment, a young man in the crowd suddenly gave Sebastian a resounding slap and said coldly, "It's been ten years! This day has finally come for you and Samson!"If your mother hadn't caused a huge fuss here, my grandfather would never have died! Today, I am going to let Samson get a taste of what it's like to have a family member die in front of him!"The man suddenly pulled out a three-foot-long sword from behind his back. He thrust it at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian couldn't even move a
"Sebastian, I was only planning to ask you to go and greet the elders," Rexton said. "Since you insist on doing things the hard way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"He put one hand behind his back as he fixed a sinister look on Sebastian. There was a murderous tone in his voice as he spoke once again. "Even if you do have some skills, those basic moves aren't even worth looking at here!"As Rexton finished speaking, several youths from the Ballard family stood in the four main directions, respectively. They were all holding a blue paper charm that even Sebastian had never seen before. They began to form a seal. "Seal off the sky and lock the earth!" the four men boomed simultaneously before tossing the paper charm into the air!In a flash, the four blue paper charms disappeared into thin air. Countless silver bolts of light rushed up to the clouds with the four of them at the center of it!Right after that, the silver bolts of light weaved together to form a huge net. Countle
"Stop talking!" Rexton said angrily, cutting off their discussions. He then turned to look at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, as a junior member of the family, you should be polite. Since you're back, come with me and greet your elders!"Although Rexton appeared to be giving Sebastian a suggestion, the murderous look in his eyes and his commanding tone wasn't pleasant at all. Sebastian looked coldly at him and the people behind him. He huffed and asked icily, "What if I refuse?""What did you say?" Rexton's eyes turned cold, and he eyed Sebastian with an unpleasant look on his face.Among the people behind him, four men walked out. They stared fixedly at Sebastian, as if he were their sworn enemy. They had also taken up positions in the best spots to attack."Are you going to try to do things by force now? Fine. I'd like to stretch too!" Sebastian crooked a finger at them in a challenge."Where do you think this is? How dare you behave so recklessly here?" one of them yelled a
