Zayn and they were obviously on the same level, yet the power he displayed far surpassed theirs!Despite joining hands, not only were they still incapable of defeating Zayn, but they were at a disadvantage. It was terrifying. In the distance, Joe and the others were startled upon witnessing the scene. “Sergeant Larson is so impressive that even after Caspian and Christian combined forces, they still can’t defeat him!”“Oh my gosh, Sergeant Larson is still so young, yet he’s so powerful. That’s really scary!”“Why do I feel that Sergeant Larson is scarier than he was in the past?”“Let’s go and help Sergeant Larson.”They charged toward Zayn at their fastest speed. Other than them, all the skilled fighters on Mount Leo spared no effort to charge toward Zayn. On the other side, a silhouette was traveling like a bolt of lightning, and right behind him, a fiery red silhouette followed. They were Ezra Sword and Lysithea. “The son of the previous Saintress is impressive. He’s
“Hello, may I inquire how long it will take for us to get to Mount Septimus?”A car was traveling at high speed with Faye in the backseat, asking the question in a feeble voice. Her body was much weaker compared to the day before. Moreover, she had more gray hair and her face was ghastly pale. It appeared as if the blood had been completely drained from her face. It was arduous for her to utter a single sentence, and her breathing quickened with her effort. Ten minutes ago, the man, who was currently seated in front, found her in the hospital and had taken her away with his absolutely strong grip. Not even the hospital had the courage to intervene. In the beginning, she was very reluctant, but the man said something that calmed her down immediately. “Miss Carter, don’t worry. I’m with Mr. Larson and it’s he who sent me to fetch you,” said the man. Moreover, he played her a voice clip of Zayn calling him. Faye considered it for a moment before she agreed. Considering her curren
Liam was only a second-tier master fighter, so he was already incapable of catching up to Joe, Dick and the others with his speed. He stared at Zayn from afar with glistening eyes, feeling extremely excited as he believed that the Insurgent Trifecta would certainly return to its glorious days under Zayn’s leadership!He was getting closer and closer…From Zayn’s current angle, he could already spot the natural moat that was over a few hundred meters in width which separated Mount Leo and Mount Septimus. His emotions were surging at that point!All of sudden, a few silhouettes appeared on the snowfield before him. Armed with swords in their hands, they began to attack him. It was the troop of warriors from Sol. As he was confronted by them, the corners of Zayn’s lips curled up in contempt. “You’ve overestimated yourself!”Despite being unarmed, he had no fear. Even with more than half of his strength exhausted, these bunch of Sol warriors could not afford to offend him!It took l
Zayn came prepared this time. He was dressed in a high-tech suit. With just a gentle tug, two wings made of composite material would grow out from his back, allowing him to fly far before he landed on Mount Septimus successfully!On the other hand, everyone chasing after him on Mount Leo widened their eyes in astonishment. “Oh, no! He’s running away!”“Damn it! He got away!” “I can’t stand this, argh…”Many people stood on the cliff of Mount Leo and watched helplessly as Zayn fled by flying toward Mount Septimus. They clenched their teeth in anger and they stomped about in rage, yet there was nothing they could do. Although they had prepared extensively and brought along many things with them for this trip, they did not prepare flight suits that allowed them to fly so far. Joe and the others had a drastic change of expression as well. “What a nuisance! Sergeant Larson is…He’s going to get himself court-martialed!”Dick’s expression was filled with anxiety and confusion. “Wh
He could see everyone’s expression, and he could tell that the vast majority of people loathed him to their bones and were immensely furious. There were also some who felt sorry for him. He was overwhelmed with complicated emotions in his heart at this very moment. He knew the consequences of taking exclusive possession of the Aeon Karpos. He knew that he would be facing endless pursuit and slaughter. Yet, he could not care about anything else because he had no other choice. Moreover, it was his decision and he had no regrets. A smile that came from the bottom of his heart spread on his face. He felt relieved that Faye could finally be saved. He did not look back anymore as he dove into the forest of Mount Septimus abruptly. At the foot of Mount Septimus, a black car was parked. Lil Hyde was smoking a cigarette outside the car. It had already been two minutes since he arrived with Faye, but he still could not see Zayn yet. Just as he was considering if he should call Zayn,
Zayn felt his heart wrench in pain and he had the impulse to cry. He did not even blink his eyes once while being pursued by so many highly-skilled fighters earlier, but now, he was close to losing control of himself just because of Faye’s remark. He felt an overwhelming urge to bawl!He could not imagine how much agony and torment he would have felt had he failed to acquire the Aeon Karpos and had to watch helplessly as Faye slipped from his hands!It was fortunate that the possibility was eliminated now because he had succeeded!At the thought of this, he could not help breaking into a brilliant, joyous, happy smile on his face that stretched all the way from the corners of his mouth to his eyes. He wiped away the faint tear mark on the corner of Faye’s eyes gently and said in a gentle yet sentimental tone, “Silly girl, I thought I told you that I won’t let you die and that I have a way of making you become healthy again and remain youthful for eternity. Have you forgotten about
The effect took no time to happen. Faye’s general health seemed to improve at a visible rate after she swallowed the fruit.“I… I feel so much better now, Zayn! I don’t feel so fatigued anymore!” she cried in earnest joy, her eyes widening and glimmering.Zayn regarded the change overtaking her as a heartfelt smile surfaced to his lips. “That’s wonderful, honey.”Faye closed her eyes. A shot of vitality spread from the naval through a web and into different parts of her body. It seeped into her innards and organs like a spring—she had never felt quite like this before!Zayn ruffled her hair gently while she enjoyed the sensation. As she closed her eyes, she missed the rotating, flitting corridor of joy, relief, happiness—and regret.He harbored no delusion of what awaits him after this. It would be no exaggeration to say that he exchanged his life for hers, and maybe it made him sound like the biggest idiot in the world. He was a superior-class fourth tier legend; his life was inf
Mr. Hyde pulled open the car door and gawked at Zayn in overwhelming shock. “Y-Young Master! Did you… did you steal the Ambrosia fruit?!”Zayn furrowed his eyebrows a little displeased. These were his last moments with Faye, and every second that slipped by was more precious than gold. However, now, Mr. Hyde was being the persona non grata who was ruining his time.He nodded briskly as a sign of approval and said, “Close the door on your way out.”The clock kept ticking. He had less than a minute with Faye, and the least he wanted to do was to waste it on Mr. Hyde.The man, however, was so taken by the roaring emotions in his head that he disobeyed Zayn and stayed. “Young Master Zayn, do you have any idea just how much The Saint wants the Aeon Karpos?! He wants it so much that he deployed Lord Ezra and Lady Lysithea for the task!” he blabbered, “B-but you… you took it! Lord Ezra will not possibly tolerate this—there’s no way he will let you go for doing something like this! Not in
