Wilda and Glinda stepped out of the crowd. Everyone looked at them in astonishment. It wasn't strange that Wilda would plead for Remus. He was her disciple, after all. But why did Glinda and Sir Hudson even do that in the first place? It had nothing to do with them. All the other disciples in the sanctuary were dumbstruck. Even the Vice Saint Master and Masters were flabbergasted.Wilda herself wore a look of confusion.Silence filled the air in the hall. A while later, Elena turned to look at her disciples behind her. "What are you waiting for?" she ordered. Sandra, Emerson, and the others shuddered in fright at her gaze. What did Elena mean by that? Did she want them to plead for Remus too?Remus beat them up so badly that they wanted him dead so badly. Why would they plead for him? However, Elena was their master, so their future was in her hands. They had to obey her wishes. With much reluctance, Sandra said, "Remus' crime isn't punishable by death!"Emerson was

Thump! Both halves of Kennard's body fell onto the platform with a resounding thud the moment Remus was done speaking. Kennard wasn't that heavy, so no damage was done to the platform. However, the crowd below was significantly affected. The people felt as if the skies were going to fall and crash down to the ground. They were overwhelmed with rage and anxiety. Then, to some, the world started to spin. Their legs turned to jelly, and they passed out and fell. They didn't even make any noise as they fell to the ground. It was as if something had taken their voices away, and they could only watch the scene unfold with their mouths agape. Their hearts skipped a beat, and their faces fell, making them look like their souls had been sucked out of their bodies. It was as if the world had fallen apart. All the saintly disciples, Monington disciples, and the Grandmasters were flabbergasted. Wilda and the Saint Master were no exception. They couldn't believe their eyes. What h

It was only until Remus' retreating figure disappeared completely did the crowd tear their eyes away from him. Cries erupted from the crowd once they looked away from the direction in which he left. There were sobs and wails as some of the disciples lost their composure and started lying and rolling on the ground as if they were kids throwing tantrums. Remus' victory shut them up for good. They'd always seen themselves as the best among the best of people. If Remus had died, it'd mean that they didn't suck that badly. But that wasn't the case now. Not only did he leave unscathed, but he even used a technique he created by himself to kill Kennard!It suddenly occurred to them that they might not be able to achieve such heights even if they get to live for hundreds of years more. They were all thrown into colossal despair. Seeing the state of their disciples, the Grandmasters couldn't help but sigh. They felt equally defeated as well. Remus, who was only at the golden s

The looks on their faces shifted drastically when Remus' name appeared in their minds. They'd seen Remus sitting there back then but didn't give it much thought. They simply assumed that he sat there to isolate himself and wallow in his misery after knowing that he was going to meet his end. But now, a huge problem had arisen. Remus had sat at that very spot for three days. The very end of the trial stone was linked to him somehow. And today, he came up with his uncanny technique which enabled him to kill Kennard with a single move. All these points must be connected! Grandmaster Aurelius turned to look at Master Elena. The look on his face was ten times graver than before.In a cold voice, he told her, "Master Elena, it's time you explain yourself. What exactly is going on? Why is your formation connected to Remus Clayton? Why did you do that? Did you secretly help him three days ago?" He couldn't help himself but be mad at her for this. According to the rules here in

But if Master Elena didn't restore the formation, they wouldn't let things slide so easily. Maybe the only way to solve this was to find Remus Calsberg himself. That was right! She had to find him! Slowly, she said, "I can do that, but I need Remus Clayton to cooperate with me. The spiritual energy can only be contained if he's here in person!"She could ask Remus Calsberg to set up the formation again when he arrived. "There's no need for him to come here!" Grandmaster Aurelius said. "We're here. We also have thousands of disciples here with us. Anyone can volunteer to take up that role. Just hurry up and set up the formation!" It wasn't that he didn't believe Master Elena. He simply didn't feel like seeing Remus Clayton. The latter killed the former's disciple not too long ago. How could the Grandmaster face Remus Clayton without making his blood boil again? He wasn't the only person who wasn't fond of the idea of seeing Remus again. "That's right! We don't need hi
