At that moment, they heard the sound of a flute in the distance. They all turned in the direction of the sound, only to see a wedding procession made up of hundreds of people. They were all parading in their direction.However, the wedding procession looked very strange. Everyone was dressed in bright red robes, and they were all holding scarlet banners. Right in the middle of the procession, there was a sedan chair being carried by four people. And although the flute was playing a cheerful tune, it sounded rather mournful. Sebastian held Purity as he saw the wedding procession approaching."Who would dare to be so bold? Move aside!" a shrill voice shouted at Sebastian and the others. That was when Sebastian noticed that Candy was the woman sitting in the sedan chair. Beside her, there was a little girl of about six or seven years old. It was the little girl that the middle-aged woman was currently holding. "Leave them here, and we'll spare your lives!" Sebastian said calmly.
Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Nina, "Don't let them hurt this mother and daughter. Although they're just stray ghosts, they can still kill!"As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and rushed toward the stray ghosts in the lead. That was when Nina finally realized why she had sensed the energy of a king of spirits. The old woman had trapped too many vengeful spirits, and she had been training in black magic.The old woman was completely different from Nina. Nina was a snake to begin with, and she had transformed into human form after training in the mystic arts.However, the old woman was a human who had become a snake after training in black magic. It was a kind of black magic that had been done in the wrong order, and it resulted in one becoming a snake after losing their human form. The old woman appeared to have gotten vast reserves of power and could even have a longer life. However, once she died, she wouldn't be able to enter the spiritual world.As she had original
There was a thump as the old woman fell so hard that she left a human-shaped depression in the rocky ground.When she hit the ground, she spat out a mouthful of green blood. She looked up in terror at the Devora, who had the head of a dragon and the body of a snake. Her body trembled uncontrollably."We have the culprit! Please give the command, my lord!" Unus said respectfully to Sebastian after he had turned back into his human form.Sebastian looked at the severely injured old woman and sighed. "Don't you know how rare it is to be born as a human? Even the ultimate goal of a mystic beast like a Devora is to transform into a human! But you? Not only did you give up on your human form, you even trained to become an animal!"The old woman stared at Sebastian in despair. She was sure that she would die that day. Neither Sebastian nor Nina would give her a way out. "Kill me! In my next life, I will be sure to get revenge!"Although the old woman knew that she would die, she would
The old woman shook her head relentlessly and backed several steps away. Suddenly, a large hand closed around her throat from behind her. "How dare you refuse to answer when my lord is asking you a question?" Unus' huge hand was clamped tightly around her neck, like a strong steel lock.The old woman suddenly felt a strong dragon breath enter her body. All her organs began hurting intensely."Don't kill me! I'll tell you!" the old woman begged at the top of her voice. She seemed to have felt death. Life could be an endless cycle for other mystic arts practitioners. Some of those who were very skilled in the mystic arts could retain their memories of their previous lives even in reincarnation. However, life was very precious to the old woman because she would not be able to be reincarnated. Even living for five more years would be better than dying on the spot."Speak!" Sebastian commanded. The old woman pointed at her neck. Sebastian nodded at Unus, who pushed the old woman
This time, even more miners had been buried inside. Countless orphans and widows knelt at the tunnel entrance to the mine, screaming and crying. However, their husbands and fathers would never return.Eight mining accidents happened in total, and countless miners died there. No wonder the old woman had been able to disguise them as ghost pawns. Although the eight mining accidents hadn't all been related to the old woman, they had all been connected to the Berkeleys. As the illusions disappeared, a round moon appeared in the sky once more. It was a clear night, and stars glittered in the sky. The old woman looked at Sebastian and asked, "Can I go now?""Remember, if you hurt anyone again, I'll destroy the entire Berkeley family!" Sebastian said coldly.The old woman snorted angrily and suddenly transformed into a snake. She disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.Sebastian hastily used a Soul Converge spell to draw the lost souls of the little girl and Candy.He fo
A flash of anger crossed Nina's face. It was true that no one could be trusted. Sebastian had stepped in during a moment of crisis, but not only were these men ungrateful, they were even trying to make him a scapegoat. It was a good thing that Nina had made herself invisible so that Daxton and the others couldn't see her. Otherwise, they would have come to blows already.Although Daxton wasn't a Warrior, he was used to lording it in Acorn City because he was the bodyguard of the Berkeleys' future daughter-in-law. He would never give in to a frail-looking woman like Nina.Sebastian glanced at Daxton and nodded slightly. He was also worried that Candy might never wake up again.As a doctor, he believed he should take full responsibility for his patients. That was why he had agreed to Daxton's demands in the first place."Please lend a hand and carry Ms. Candy back to the car," Daxton instructed Unus.Unus shot him a cold look and didn't move. If Sebastian hadn't been there, Daxt
Before long, Candy sat up in bed, looking as if nothing had happened. "Daxton!" she called out.Daxton was standing in the doorway. When he heard her voice, he hurried up to her. "Ms. Candy, you're awake!" Candy smiled and nodded. "Did this gentleman save me?" Daxton hesitated for a moment. His eyes flicked from side to side before he said quickly, "Ms. Candy, you have no idea how worried we've all been! About four days ago…"He told Candy about everything that had happened, right in front of Sebastian. After listening to Daxton's account, Candy looked at Sebastian in surprise and asked, "So it was you that saved me? Alright then, tell me how much money you want." Sebastian wasn't dressed like someone who was rich. Most charlatans like him who dabbled in traditional medicine were usually after money.That was why Candy's opinion of Sebastian dropped significantly. Her eyes held a trace of disdain. "I don't need money," Sebastian said flatly. "I'm busy, so goodbye!" He
"Ms. Candy, don't go easy on him. He's been getting on my nerves for a while now," Daxton said through gritted teeth. From the moment Sebastian had ignored him on their way to the mine, Daxton had been bottling up his frustration. Now that Candy was awake and alert, he finally had an opportunity to let it all out. He was sure that he could knock Sebastian out with one punch if Candy ordered him to do so.Although the burly man with Sebastian would be harder to deal with, Daxton had more than a dozen men, and they were armed. Even if they couldn't defeat them with their fists, they had guns!"Pay?" Sebastian frowned.Wasn't that repaying kindness with cruelty? This was an excellent example of it. He had never bothered being polite to people like that. Candy jutted her chin and said arrogantly, "I'll give you one chance to apologize to me. If you don't, then don't even think about leaving this villa!"Instead of getting angry, Sebastian laughed. "Plenty of people say that to me
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
