Upon seeing what was happening, Drew turned pale with fear. At that moment, Gerard and Brody burst out of one of the exits, followed closely by over a dozen special forces officers.Drew did a rough count. Including Gerard, there were only 14 survivors in total. Everyone else had been turned into dried corpses!At that moment, a scarlet scene appeared in front of Sebastian. A scene of carnage came into his vision, filled with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.Drew's expression was extremely grim as he looked at the dozen or so survivors who had managed to escape.Almost 40 people had died in a single operation! How was he going to explain this to his superiors? So many lives had disappeared in an instant!Gerard was as pale as a sheet, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably."Mr. Ballard, what should we do now? Should we escape or retreat?" Drew asked, his voice trembling.Escape or retreat? Wasn't that the same thing?Sebastian's gaze swept over Drew, who was beside
"Turn on the lights! Hurry!" Gerard shouted. He had actually soiled his pants in fear.To his horror, there was no signal on his phone. He couldn't even turn it on, either. Around him, clouds of black fog seemed to rush up from the ground, and it grew thicker and thicker. He felt as if he were being gnawed at by tens of thousands of bugs. It prickled and hurt.When the foglights on the police cars were turned on, everyone saw in the light that black blood was spurting from their bodies.Gerard watched the dark blood rush forth relentlessly from his body, and he fell to the ground in fright. "W-What's wrong with me?"All around him, the special forces officers were screaming at the top of their lungs. They didn't even have the strength to stand any longer.Drew was crawling on the ground with difficulty. He wanted to get to Sebastian because he had realized that only Sebastian and Vince were standing there, unaffected.Vince was sticking close to Sebastian, staring at the scene u
Leopold pulled out a mahogany sword. He murmured an incantation, and the mahogany sword suddenly emitted a faint red glow. It was a pity that it only flickered momentarily before going out. The runes all over Leopold were glowing with a golden light, but they were unable to suppress the relentless clouds of dark energy. The cave sprite really was as terrifying as it was described to be in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals. It was a good thing that Sebastian had been prepared. Otherwise, even he would undoubtedly have died if he had faced the cave sprite. The power of a king of spirits shocked Sebastian. Leopold was sent flying with a single slap. He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of tainted blood.He finally got angry and took out his last remaining paper charm. The paper charm looked ancient, and it was slightly torn in places.Leopold let his own blood drip onto the paper charm and chanted an incantation. He then flung the paper charm away, and it flew
"Come and meet your death!" Sebastian shook the long sword he was holding and pointed it at the cave sprite.He wasn't actually confident about facing down the cave sprite, but he was now the only one who stood a chance against it.If it had just been Gerard and Brody, Sebastian wouldn't have bothered. But there were over a dozen special forces officers there, men with vibrant lives still ahead of them. How could Sebastian stand by and do nothing? Even Leopold had risked everything to try and save them. How could Sebastian just ignore them? A true doctor must have a merciful heart.The cave sprite roared in fury and shot toward Sebastian like a bolt of lightning.Sebastian reached out and made a pulling gesture. Five paper charms immediately returned to his palm, and three rays of red light shielded Sebastian."Die!" Sebastian yelled. He used the Divine Art to charge at the cave sprite with the Wind Phantom move.In clouds of fragmented shadows, Sebastian and the cave sprite ex
"Oh dear! We've let a wild animal loose. I'm afraid we won't be so lucky next time!" Leopold was clearly disappointed by Sebastian's inaction. Sebastian put his long sword away and came up to him. He reached out to help him up from the ground. "Are you alright, sir?"Leopold nodded slightly. "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Ballard."Seeing how respectful Leopold was being, Sebastian said rather uncomfortably, "Sir, you don't need to address me so formally. I'm just a traditional medicine doctor.""Well, perceiving the Way of Wisdom doesn't happen in any order. Those who reach it first will be those higher in the hierarchy!" Leopold was very impressed with Sebastian's powers."You let the suspect get away on purpose! I suspect that you're his accomplice!" Gerard yelled. He suddenly stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian.Sebastian's gaze swept coldly over Gerard. Without a word, he struck him with a resounding slap.Gerard was hit so hard that he was sent rolling several fe
However, Rufus immediately realized that Sebastian was waiting for him to say something. If he didn't say what Sebastian wanted to hear, Belinda would never forgive him. "Kill them!" Rufus didn't hesitate in giving the command to kill two idiots like Gerard and Brody.Sebastian hung up. Gerard and Brody had heard it very clearly. Rufus had said to kill them!All the special forces officers were dazed. Could Sebastian really be bold enough to kill Gerard and Brody?"I would have come for both of you even if you hadn't jumped forward. If it wasn't for your arrogance, those people wouldn't have died!" Sebastian said, walking slowly over to Brody and Gerard."W-What do you want?" Brody backtracked in fear. The image of Sebastian battling against the cave sprite was still fresh in his mind. It had been a terrifying sight!He only had a submachine gun, but even if he'd had a cannon, he wouldn't have been confident that he could do anything to Sebastian."What d-do you t-think you'r
Sebastian smiled at Leopold and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Walters."However, he looked up in the rearview mirror, and his heart sank. He turned to Drew in the driver's seat. "Mr. Houghton, where is Whitney?"Drew hastily plastered a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ballard, Chief Weist personally sent Ms. Sutton home. After all… Um… Heh." Drew didn't continue. He laughed dryly and turned to look at the two burnt corpses in the distance.Vince knew that Sebastian wouldn't be merciful to Gerard and Brody, and if Whitney had seen it, she would have been frightened. That was why he had sent her back to the convenience store first.Sebastian nodded, reassured. He asked, "Mr. Houghton, what will we do with the corpses in that building?" "Mr. Ballard, although they've all been turned into dried corpses, we'll have to bring them back for DNA testing. The police must give the families of those who are missing a satisfactory answer." Drew sighed heavily. He knew they didn't have a good e
Vince hastily cooperated and added to Sebastian's explanation. Since Vince had said so as well, Whitney looked slightly reassured and nodded. She turned to him and said, "Chief Weist, my cousin Shannon has been missing for four days, and there's still no sign of her. She isn't related to this case, is she?"At the thought of the dried corpses she had seen in the photos in the conference room, Whitney began worrying about Shannon's safety again.Although Sally and her family could be rather unkind, she was still her aunt. Whitney couldn't ignore Shannon's safety, could she?Vince smacked his lips and stole a glance at Sebastian, who nodded at him. He sighed deeply and said, "There's no way to give you a conclusion right now. However, no news is good news for now. The state department will give us an analysis result very soon. No matter what the result is, we'll notify Mr. Ballard at once."I'll also instruct the police headquarters to investigate all the clues there are and give y
The men Yutaria was sending this time were probably all going to their deaths."Even so, we should help the Warrior League. If we can wipe out the Yutarian experts in the outer borders, it will also make them fear and respect Dramon."Sebastian's goal was simple. He wanted to do his best to prevent the Yutarian experts from setting foot in the three divine mountains.While it was true that no one knew what secrets the three divine mountains held, it would be a calamity for Dramon if a Yutarian Warrior got lucky and uncovered them."You're right to be concerned, my lord," Lyanna said calmly. "We can discuss it with the Warrior League once the martial arts battle is over."In her current state, she couldn't help the Warrior League. Unless her level of skill increased and she became a true king of spirits, it would be disastrous for her if she entered the divine mountains and stumbled into the formations set up by the ancient refiners.Sebastian understood Lyanna's concerns and nodd
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
"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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
