Remorse After Breaking Up



Sebastian felt a strong surge of imminent danger. Continuing with his kick would mean certain death from the incoming sword energy.

With lightning reflexes, he twisted in mid-air and dodged to the side.

A loud crash echoed as the black sword energy slammed into the ground. Instantly, the ground vibrated violently, carving a trench over 30 feet long.

An elderly man in a black robe descended from the sky and landed near Sebastian.

He stood with hands behind his back, emanating a commanding presence that brooked no defiance.

"Mr. Lennon Senior!" Ian exclaimed in relief and quickly took cover behind Julian.

At the same time, Francis also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Useless fools!" Julian scolded with a glare that made the two men tremble in fear.

Julian turned his gaze to Sebastian and smirked. "Impressive Art of Disguise. I can't see through it at all. Now, tell me, who are you?"

"That doesn't matter," Sebastian replied with his fists clenched.

Sebastian's expression remained stern.

From Julian's earlier attack, he had gauged his opponent's cultivation base. Julian was a pinnacle divine grandmaster.

To be precise, Julian was in the late pinnacle stage of divine grandmaster. Since each major realm was divided into three sub-stages, the late stage of the Divine Realm was essentially a pinnacle divine grandmaster.

This stage of cultivation base was overwhelmingly strong and far surpassing the early stages by tenfold. Someone like Francis could be defeated in a single move.

Though Sebastian wasn't an ordinary early-stage divine grandmaster and could battle across levels, Julian's power was two realms above his.

Despite all his strength, Sebastian doubted his chances of victory.

Julian nodded with a smile. "You're right. Yout identity doesn't matter now. What matters is that you'll soon be dead."

"Try me!" Sebastian retorted.

Before the words had fully left his mouth, Sebastian launched a punch, sending a wave of energy hurtling toward Julian.

Julian sneered and countered effortlessly with a palm strike, releasing a torrent of black energy that instantly shattered Sebastian's attack.

"Not bad," Julian murmured with a faint tone of admiration in his voice.

He retaliated swiftly by conjuring a black energy sphere that swelled menacingly in his

palm. His energy cast an air of terror over everyone present.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Everyone present felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. Sebastian was no exception, so he focused his spiritual energy with urgency.

"Fatal Viper Strike!" Julian yelled while hurling the energy sphere forward.

"Energy Slash!" Sebastian countered by unleashing a white sword energy that clashed violently with the black energy sphere.

Sebastian's technique, "Energy Slash", was from the first transformation of the Eternal Rebirth Codex.

The white sword energy struck the black energy sphere, and with a resounding explosion, both attacks shattered simultaneously.

Yet while Sebastian's sword energy dissipated harmlessly, Julian's energy sphere erupted into a cloud of deadly black gas.

Horror unfolded as several members of the Sanders family were engulfed by the toxic fumes. They writhed in agony. And within moments, they lay lifeless with foar at their mouths.

The remaining spectators recoiled in terror. Even Ian and Francis took several steps back, their eyes filled with deep fear.

Sebastian's expression darkened. He had heard of Julian's lethal poison techniques, but witnessing their devastation firsthand was chilling.

"Interesting," Julian remarked with a twisted smile. He was shrouded in black mist, exuding the presence of a demonic overlord as he prepared to strike again.
