LOGINJax was grinning in amusement. "Hehe… I'm actually surprised you'd pick me. Alright, I'll only fight with one hand and half my strength!""Alright. Let's do this!" Caleb's eyes narrowed sharply, and he leaped up with the Overlord in hand…Pow!Jax sent him flying with just one punch, and leaving him with a black eye!Gritting his teeth in pain, Caleb howled, "Shit! Not the eye, please!""Haha! Fine!" Jax laughed, still holding one arm behind his back while beckoning at Caleb with the other."Hyah… Oof!" Caleb leaped toward Jax again, only to be sent flying again instantly."Well, now that's better!" Jax chuckled, seeing that he had left another black eye, as if admiring his own work.Caleb was clutching his swelling eye while groaning, "I said not the eye… also, not my face! I'd rather stay handsome!"Jax shrugged and beckoned again. "Oh, I forgot. Come on—I'll make sure not to hit your face this time!"Blood Demon Flash—Demon Soul!As Caleb cast the cultivation method, hi
Seeing how enthusiastic the other members of his clan were, Caleb smiled mildly once more and nodded. "Let's head home for now.""Yes, junior chief!"As they started to leave the academy while crowding around Caleb, Luna chased after them, catching up at the gates and calling out, "Caleb!"Seeing that, Xarik beckoned to the other Crawfords to leave with him and give the two some space."Caleb, Ches is just…"Luna was about to plead in her brother's favor when she saw Caleb's icy gaze, and abruptly stopped.Instead, she pulled out a dimensional ring and handed it to him. "Here… For you."Caleb's eyes narrowed, his senses extending into the ring and quickly finding over a hundred thousand spirit stones and some of the rarest of Nature's Boons!"It's a present from me… I hope you can take it," Luna said, her gaze lowered as Caleb had never accepted her presents.But this time, Caleb took it. "Thanks… But understand that you're you, and Ches is Ches. I'm civilized enough to differ
Luna hurried to Caleb just then, uncertain as she asked, "Caleb? Is there a misunderstanding here? Ches has always thought of you as a brother—why would he try to hurt you?"Then, turning to Ches in disbelief, she said, "Say something, Ches! There's no way you're behind Caleb's disappearance and stolen bloodline, right?However, neither man spoke as the grimness in the air seemed to loom suffocatingly.On the other hand, Hark was watching in amusement, finding relief inside.After all, Ches was too amazing, and his place as heir to lordship had been threatened!Ches' friendship with Caleb added to his insecurity all the more, so this situation was exactly what he wanted.Naturally, the students around the colosseum were also shocked, their hearts racing. The other members of the Crawford clan were glaring fiercely at Ches too.If Ches really conspired against Caleb, they would be the ones who had most reason to be indignant!-At a certain corner, Murin could feel a chill do
That was when someone finally bellowed, "How dare you, Caleb Crawford! Murdering mentors of this esteemed academy?! Do you think you're above the law?!"Tarron turned, sighing in relief when he saw that it was Hark Lazuli, eldest son of Grendel Lazuli, the Lord of Zoronda, who had just spoken!He hence quietly retreated behind the crowd of rubberneckers, intent on quietly watching how things turned out… And taking the side of whoever won! Still, confusion was showing on his face.This was a huge deal, but the magister and the elders were nowhere to be seen!"This is strange…" he mused to himself.At the same time, Caleb turned toward Hark and retorted flatly, "I challenged them to a death duel!"Hark, taken aback by Caleb's retort, felt humiliated.As such, he stubbornly argued, "Even so, you shouldn't have killed them! Where's your respect for your elders?!""Hah!" Caleb snorted coldly. "Are you deaf?! I said it was a death duel!""What…" Hark flushed, his cheek burning as
Naturally, the middle-aged man with the swan feather fan was Eldin Crawford himself, and the white-haired geezer beside him was Murin Davos, the magister of Zoro Academy.Despite what Murin said, Eldin remained silent, his eyes narrowed as he watched the ring.The colosseum was utterly silent, as Farron Gaspard, Curby Heller, and Zim Jareal, three mentors strong, all fell to Caleb's sword!Three heads, rolling around the floor and leaving the crowd in horror!They were all ready to kill Caleb, but instead of resigning himself to his fate, he turned the tables against them! It just made perfect sense, so he wouldn't hold back!That was when Susie's eyes went red, her fingers extended like claws as she jumped at Caleb. "How dare you kill my mother, Caleb Crawford! I'll kill you!""No! Susie!" Delilah exclaimed in shock, rushing forward to stop her best friend.However, an elder caught her and told her, "Calm down! Caleb is clearly on a warpath. Anyone who gets near him now is go
Susie shrieked right then, "Caleb Crawford! If you kill my mother, the Larkins will have your head for this!"Even as she threatened Caleb, Farron, Curby, and Zim all came to their senses and charged toward Caleb."Stop, you impudent whelp!!!""Don't you dare!!!" However, with a barely hidden smile, Caleb ignored the three mentors hollering as he swung down the Overlord viciously!Shunk!Thud, thud, thud…Ryona's head fell, dropping and rolling across the floor some distance away, spraying blood everywhere."You… Monster!"Farron, Curby, and Zim's eyes were wide in disbelief.Their rage flaring, they promptly charged toward Caleb!World Burial Sword—Throttle!With another vicious swing, Caleb's violent Reiki burst away once more, leaving afterimages everywhere!And with the angle of his swing like a pinwheel, he blocked any angles Farron, Curby and Zim could have used to reach him!Bang!Nonetheless, Farron, Curby, and Zim were not holding back, using their full cultiva
