After returning to the club with the rest of the Sapientia, Ezekiel smashed more than ten cups in his anger. The more he thought about what had happened that day, the angrier he became. How could that bastard Sebastian have tricked him like that?"Mr. Harton, why didn't you confront Sebastian?" Alaric asked in confusion.Ezekiel struck him hard across the face. "Are you an idiot?" he snapped. "How can we argue with him when he still has Purity?"Ezekiel had been planning to use Aiden's death to force Sebastian into a corner. However, that would only force Sebastian to use his trump card. When that happened, who would take the brunt of it?Gritting his teeth, his eyes glinted with malice. "Since Sebastian didn't keep his word, we don't have to play fair either!"Alaric was still stunned by the slap. He looked timidly at Ezekiel, not daring to say anything.Percival stepped forward to smooth things over. "Mr. Harton means that we'll go to Sebastian's place tonight and invite his
The battle at the arena continued until evening. Four deacons from Dramon's martial arts court had joined forces to defeat over 100 of the international experts who had challenged them. It had pushed the martial arts battle to new heights."Everyone, it's getting late. We can have the final match tomorrow morning!" the host said into the mic to all those in the arena and in the audience.Two-thirds of the seats in the stands were already empty. Apart from the Yvantonian Warriors, who had been wiped out by Yutaria, most of the Warriors from other countries had been killed by Lyanna and Nina.Out of 400 or 500 visitors, only less than 200 were left. If the battle went on, everyone in the opposition stand would be dead after a day at most.…After returning to Yutaria's base camp, Luigi stood up and asked a middle-aged, "Mr. Gallo, have you noticed that there's something strange about the Dramonian Warriors?"For two days in a row, Luigi had been watching sharply. He couldn't unders
Luigi had just left when someone reported his movements to Alessio."Oh? Luigi left with six people?" Alessio asked, looking stern."Yes. They brought weapons and were wearing night camouflage clothes!" a young Warrior said.Alessio shook his head and said, "Luigi is walking into certain death. He shouldn't have done that."He suddenly thought of the look of despair in Luigi's eyes when he had left Alessio's room. Only someone who couldn't see any hope and had no choice but to die would look like that."Mr. Gallo, Luigi isn't betraying us, is he?"As soon as the young Warrior spoke, Alessio slapped him and yelled angrily, "What do you know, you bastard?"The young Warrior hunched his shoulders and lowered his head quickly."He's going to find that mystic arts expert for us! He's using his life to ensure our safety!" After taking a few deep breaths, Alessio ordered coldly, "Get out!"The young Warrior hastily left his room.…At that moment, Sebastian and Lyanna were being en
Rose shook her head slightly and laughed sardonically. "Who told you that? I don't know whether the ancestral god will be revived or not, but Yutaria won't be destroyed because of one entity. You've been deceived."If anyone else had said so, none of them would have believed it. However, Rose had once been the most loyal follower of the Sanguis Cult, and she was also their top assassin. That made her words much more credible."Ms. Rose, although we shouldn't doubt what you've said, you did betray the Sanguis Cult!" another assassin said coldly.They felt that Rose had already betrayed the Sanguis Cult by not helping them find the Reincarnation Pill.As a top-level member who had been nurtured carefully by the Sanguis Cult, she should have been the one who put in the most effort for them, but she had chosen to join Sebastian's side instead.Rose just smiled thinly and asked, "The Sanguis Cult? It was a heinous entity, to begin with! Besides, whether the Reincarnation Pill exists or
Rose's sword skills had already been exquisite even before she went missing."Mr. Coppola" One of the assassins shouted, glaring angrily at him."You're no match for Ms. Rose. If you fight against her, you will die. Let's go back," Luigi said calmly. He had good intentions, but good intentions were often lost on those who were determined to die.The Yutarian assassins ignored his efforts. "Hmph! How will we know unless we try?"As they spoke, they took up positions in five different directions. Five machetes gleamed coldly and pointed at Rose."Go and meet your goddess Amarella!" Rose said as she pulled out her dagger. Immediately, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash in the room.The Yutarian assassins had just turned their heads to avoid the piercing light when Rose moved. With just a wave of her hand, two heads flew into the air."Damn it!" One of the Warriors rushed toward Rose, wielding his machete.Rose thrust her blade forward so fast that she seemed to move in a blur.
The others nodded and leaped off the building with Gaston. They slipped into the residential area quietly from a side gate.The moment the 20 of them set foot in the neighborhood, they sensed something strange.When they had been at the gate of the residential compound, many of the houses had had their lights on. However, as soon as they walked into the residential area, all the lights were extinguished at the same time.Gaston looked around carefully. It wasn't an illusion. They were surrounded by pitch darkness, and there wasn't even the faintest glimmer of light at all."Mr. Lamden, why did all those houses suddenly turn off the lights?" a middle-aged man asked warily.Gaston shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but let's all be careful."He took a few steps into the residential area and suddenly stopped in his tracks. The more he walked forward, the more uneasy he felt. It felt as if there was a great danger lying in wait ahead of them."Mr. Lamden? What's the ma
Gaston gulped. The 20 or so people that he had brought wouldn't even be able to deal with the snake, let alone Lyanna.Sebastian must have been prepared, and they had fallen into his trap."You'd better let us go. We're affiliated with the Sapientia," Gaston yelled loudly.He wanted to wake the inhabitants of the residential area or to attract the attention of the officials so that he could escape.However, as soon as he shouted, he realized that his voice seemed to travel a great distance before bouncing back to him.When he heard the echo, he frowned. That kind of thing would only happen in an enclosed space.Besides, his shout hadn't attracted the attention of the inhabitants of the residential area at all. Not a single light flicked on."Affiliated with the Sapientia?" Lyanna scoffed. "That's exactly who we're looking for. You don't need to keep shouting. No one will hear you, and no one will be able to find your corpses either."With Nina around, the Warriors couldn't keep
The dark figure did not even try to dodge or fight back. Then, it landed a punch squarely on Gaston's chest.There was a loud sound as Gaston flew backward through the air and fell with a thump more than 40 feet away.As soon as he stood up, blood sprayed out of his mouth. He felt as if his internal organs were churning inside him. The punch had given him severe internal injuries.Gaston wasn't some useless lump. He was a skilled expert at the sixth level of the Celestial realm, but he hadn't even been able to withstand one punch from his opponent.He immediately turned ashen as he stared in terror at Lyanna and the dozen dark figures. "Mr. Lamden!" Yet another apprentice was swallowed by the giant snake. He pleaded with Gaston for help until the moment he died. However, Gaston couldn't even save himself, let alone anyone else.Before he could get up from the ground, a dark figure stepped hard on him and pinned him down. No matter how much strength he tried to use, he couldn
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
