“S-Santa who?” Sedrick’s facial muscles stiffened as he tried to slide past the matter. “I don’t know who you’re talking about?”“It’s not Santa. He said Sanctus!” Sheryl corrected him in a loud voice. “Stop trying to weasel your way through. You’re not getting anywhere until you give us what you want.”“Who is this Sanctus they’re talking about?” Philip asked. “What are you hiding, Sedrick?”“I’m not hiding anything,” Sedrick replied fast. “Trust me. I have never even heard that name before.”“Philip Nighthawk,” Sheryl barked. “You’re a top ranker, right? Use your aura to see if he’s lying or not.”Philip, however, shook his head. “He’s my mentor. Why would I do something like that just based on your words?”“He killed Doula. That’s not reason enough for you?”“It’s unfortunate that Doula died,” Philip replied with calm. “What Sedrick has done isn’t pleasant, whatever his reason may have been. I will extend his punishment time from six to twelve months. If you’re still not satisfied,

At the mother council.Denver and Sheryl arrived at the entrance.The gate guards stopped them. “Why are you here again?” one of them asked Sheryl in a not so polite manner.“I will come here ten times a day if it’s needed,” Sheryl retorted in a similar tone. “If you don’t want your ass to get beat, then move aside.”“It’s your ass that’s getting beaten!” Both the guards swung their spears at her, but ropes of lightning formed around the tips of the spears and ran down the length of the weapons and electrocuted both the guards.They were able to resist it to an extent, but in the end, their bodies froze right where they stood.Their eyes barely moved and looked toward Denver.“You look good together,” Sheryl snickered. “I wish I could take pictures of you both right now. How about I make you two kiss each other?” She teased them and enjoyed seeing the fear rise in their eyes.Denver walked past them, and the gates seemingly opened on their own. In truth, it was Denver’s aura that push

Clenching his fists, Denver stepped forward.“H-Hey,” Sheryl didn’t like the look on his face. “Stop. Don’t think of doing anything funny. You’re going to get both of us executed.”She had fought the guards before, but she did not attack Natalia. She was not stupid enough to do that. There were many people who tried to kill her and perished. Even some of the council members tried to usurp her and failed and got sent to the dark prison.Despite what Sheryl said, Denver did not stop.“Dammit, he’s in that zone now,” Sheryl frowned. “He probably can’t even hear me. This is going to get ugly.”Meanwhile, Natalia kept swinging her whip without a worry in the world.“You guards are completely replaceable,” she grabbed a guard’s neck with the whip and yanked it.The guard’s head got ripped out along with the spine. Both the head and the spine flew and rolled on the ground before stopping at Denver’s feet.Natalia looked at Denver and smirked, “What wind brought you here? Did you finally make

In the present time.Denver entrusted Sheryl and other members of the group to keep the Eagle Rise Group at bay. And then he rushed toward the castle.Sheryl stood before Leo, whereas Sakura, Lovia and others were eyeing Jamie and other members of Eagle Rise Group.The sisters, Diane and Catherine, faced each other.“I will take you back with me,” Diane grinned with confidence, “by your hair if it’s necessary. We’ll attend mom’s wedding together.”“I wish we could go back, but I don’t know if that’s even possible,” Catherine had a look of anger and disgust crossing her face, but there was also some love hidden beneath her upset face. “I don’t think I can ever trust you.”“I’m not the enemy you think I am.”“You could turn out to be far worse than I can imagine,” Catherine retorted. “I just know you too well, sis. Among all the women I know, you’re the most dangerous one.”“How can you say that about me?!” Diane was so offended she punched the air, sending fist-shaped energy flying tow

Inside the royal castle.Brad had punched the shadow of the golden bell with all he got. “Shadow Shock!”The impact of his punch traveled through the shadow and reached all the way to the golden bell.And it vibrated and then gonged.The noise was so loud that Brad and Rose had to shut their ears.The gonging of the bell wasn’t what Brad was after, but it ended up happening in the process.Nevertheless, the golden break cracked and broke at one spot.“Was that enough?” Brad wondered, his eyes lit up.A hole formed in the ceiling, and Ingrid landed on the ground, looking at the cracked bell in shock.“Do you fools realize what you’ve just done?” Ingrid gritted his teeth. “That was one of the last few bells left from the sacred kingdom. It had the ability to keep the lizards at bay, and you just destroyed it.”“Keep the lizards at bay?” Brad snorted. “So this bell was the reason why they never attacked this castle even though it was right next to their caves?”Just then, he felt his bod
