Chapter 63
Elena flashed a disdainful smirk, remaining unfazed in the face of Sebastian’s assault. She seemed to already be fanlar with li
She easily dodged and counter–attacked with a swift slash of her sword energy. Simultaneously, the Four Guardians charged at Sebastian, bringing the glant swords down in a coordinated strike
Sebastian rolled over on the ground, a cold smile on his lips. He revealed the silver needles in his hard and shot the needle toward the Four Churdians with a furceld throw. This was one of his trump cards. He had been holding back until now to catch them off guard and exploit their relaxed vigilance.
“Watch out!” Elena’s warning came too late.
The Four Guardians found themselves defenseless, taken by surprise by Sebastian’s unforeseen tactle. They recognized the danger too late to dodge.
In a rush of panic, they brandished their swords, trying to intercept the silver needles mid–flight. Despite their attempts to parry many away, rach Guardian was inevitably struck by multiple needles.
Sebastian’s silver needles came in two types–one for healing and the other for killing. At this moment, he used the latter, each needle soaked in poison.
Once hit by this poison, victims would quickly descend into madness.
“Those mere silver needles are nothing.” the Four Guardians scoffed as their imposing physiques temporarily warded off the poison’s grip..
Unaware of the insidious poison coursing through their veins, the Four Guardians surged forward toward Sebastian,
A cold smile played on Sebastian’s lips. His creation, the venomously named “Fury Sprite” Lacing the needles, was potent enough to bypass even the Divine Real defenses. How could mere grandimasters resist it?
Asudden, piercing scream shattered the air.
One of the Four Guardians lashed out with his sword, his face contorting in agony. The blade went through the flesh of his closest companion, severing the man in tvo before the others could react.
The maddened Guardian spun and lunged at another.
The other two Guardians screamed too.
All three went crazy, slashing their swords wildly at each other.
“Stop!” Elena yelled, angry and confused.
She didn’t understand what was happening, but it was too late.
Lost in their frenzy, the three Guardians quickly cut each other down. They all fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
The scene before her defied comprehension, Elena stood frozen, staring in shock. The once formidable Four Guardians lay dead, victims of a swift and brutal demise she never could have imagined.
“The needles! They were poisoned” Elena finally realized. She glared at Sebastian, both shocked and furious.
“You’ve realized too late. Now, diel” Sebastian slapped the ground with his palm and charged at Elena, throwing another handful of silver needles.
Having witnessed the needles‘ deadly effect, Elena dodged in a panic and deflected them with her sword.
Strong as she was, her short blade barely kept up with the barrage.
Sebastian saw his chance. He closed the distance and unleashed a terrifying blast of energy from his palms. The fierce wind threatened to destroy everything around them Elena tumed pale, unable to dodge in time. She poured her energy into her sword and struck back fiercely.
A massive explosion ripped through the air.
Elena found herself hurtling through the air, a cough of blood escaping her lips. Shock and pain flooded her eyes.
“Take this!” Elena’s desperate yell echoed.
She hurled the Seraphic Tear Pendant at a pillar behind Sebastian, Charged with her energy, the pendant would shatter on impact
Sebatin lunged for the pendant, abandoning his chase just before it smashed into the pillar
Elena seized this spot second, vanishing from the underground palace in a blink.
His broken legs forred Sebastian to crawl on his palus, significantly slowing him down. By the time he returned to the hall, Elena was gone, She had vanished without a
