ログインThe purple-robed hag was just as dumfounded, her bravado fading right then.Eldin was himself looking at the shuddering body of the white-clad geezer, whose eyes were wide on his severed head.He calmly asked, "What was it you said? That even the gods can't protect Caleb? Well, here I am to protect him. Show me how you are going to kill him now. Come on, do it."The white-clad geezer naturally couldn't speak at all, so Eldin chuckled, "What's the point of having a mouth if you can't even speak with it? Slap yourself!"The white-clad geezer felt his hand move again and started to slap his own mouth, knocking out his own teeth and soon leaving his jaw in pieces, but he still didn't stop!Though everyone was speechless, Horatio and Din strode up, their faces contorted viciously."Sir!" Din pointed at Caleb as he snapped. "The brat you were protecting murdered thousands in my clan! Be reasonable, even if you are an elder of his clan! He's a murderer, and he shall have his comeuppance
Everyone was stunned.The white-clad geezer was a novice Sage, but Eldin had subdued him effortlessly!What rank was his cultivation? And he was also a Haki Exalt, if not already reaching the pinnacle of that class!How else would he have subdued the white-clad geezer that easily?Everyone gasped at the thought once more—there were no Sage ranks in Nors, and they were the elite even in Imperia. Only the Emperor ranks stood above them, and they stood at the pinnacle of all of Sacra!Hence, every Sanctuarian faction was watching Eldin warily as he was a Haki cultivator and looked utterly dangerous!Taal had to be the most excited person next to Caleb because his gamble had paid off!He knew the Crawfords wouldn't let Caleb die—they must have prepared something for him, and now, they had a Haki Exalt on their side!And there were eight more clan elders of such caliber… nine if they included the enigmatic clan chief!Just the thought excited Taal!"Hahaha!!!" He burst out lau
The white-clad geezer snorted in disdain. "It doesn't matter who you call—not even the gods can save you now!"Caleb was just an ant, meant to be crushed no matter how it hopped!In the distance, Lisa, who was still fighting the purple-robed hag, shouted, "Just think, Caleb! Did your clan elders give you anything?!""Bleurgh!"Caleb was busy coughing blood as he heard Lisa. He forced himself to calm down and started recalling from his first elder. "Elder Alea gave me a… black bead? That's not going to help.""Elder Eldin… Right!!!" He smacked himself on the head as he remembered—why didn't he think of that earlier?Eldin Eldin had given him three embroidered pouches, saying that it would come in handy when it was a matter of life or death.And this certainly was one such case!"Shit!"He swore as he rubbed his finger on the dimensional ring he wore around his neck, and a black embroidered pouch dropped out.As everyone looked on in shock, he took a deep breath and chanted, "E
Soon, hundreds of intimidating auras were pressing down on Caleb's group, and they were shoved against the ground, their bones cracking loudly and breaking.The terrible aura wasn't just emanating from the dozenish Demi-Sages, but from a real Sage and hundreds of Scion ranks!It was the most frightening stack of auras!"Argh!!!" Caleb growled, his eyes flashing viciously as he tried to stand.However, the white-clad geezer had already reached him, glaring at Caleb as he gloated, "You had the balls to kill Oner! Now, I will make you watch as I kill your friends!"Bang!"Argh!!!"With his palm, he slammed both Fafnir and Oxley down into a gigantic crater with a Reiki palm and left them coughing mouthfuls of blood!Whoosh!He then reached out with Reiki and grabbed both Bigby and Hwata, one in each hand, and lifted them into the air."Hwata!" Udal cried and rushed forward, when the white-clad geezer kicked debris at him, tearing through his legs!"Argh!!!" Udal screamed as he c
Snorting, the purple-robed hag then finished, "And Caleb Crawford will die!"Either way, there was no peace to be had in Corvina now.Soon after Corvus Academy was flattened, Corvus Palace activated their defensive ward.It rumbled as the dozen Demi-Sages bombarded it, with more Scion ranks from other Sanctuary factions soon joining them, keen to get in on the action.After all, a massacre would soon ensue once the ward was blown up, and they could get rich when they shared the spoils!Boom!The violent blows cracked like thunder as it kept the night skies as bright as day, while countless inside the palace watched in fear.The complex runes were flashing in the air whenever the invisible ward was struck, and it rocked the entire ward whenever a hit landed.Caleb looked on grimly from inside the palace and bowed at Taal. "Thank you for helping us, but Corvus will fall because of us. I'm really sorry about that…"Taal shook his head and quickly said, "It's nothing. Your clan el
Lisa and Soless glared at the purple-robed hag somberly.At that moment, they knew they might get killed at any moment, and there was no chance of them getting away!But in a split second, everyone resolved themselves to die!"Caleb…"That was when Rags rasped weakly at Caleb, his eyes dimming as he held on to his last breath."I'm here, Rector!" Caleb squeezed his hand, his eyes rasped as he got teary-eyed."There are three things I want you to promise me…""Alright!" Caleb nodded emphatically."First of all, in the event of my death, you will become the rector of the Eternia Seminary. Keep leading the Seminary in my stead."Second, if you all survive this, lead the Seminary into Imperia and claim the dharma of all humankind."Third, reclaim the Ten Emperors where the Seminary once stood but was stolen by the Ten Sentinel Clans… And fourth, avenge me… that Sword Emperor…"Caleb was speechless, while Hwata sobbed, "You said three, but that's four! Just stay with us…""Hah!
