Kael did not even try to deny the claims and Cedric's confidence gradually returned, and his lips slowly curled upward."You've already shown every card you have now it’s my turn." Cedric sneered. “You’re just trying to put on a tough front. How much of your life force can you afford to waste?”A terrifying wave of Qi exploded from his body. Golden flames roared around him as the Ravenhart Secret Art reached its peak.Cedric pointed his sword at Kael. "This time. I'll erase you completely."The arena trembled beneath the pressure. Lucy instinctively pulled Nova closer.Even the spectators several hundred meters away felt their breathing become difficult.Cedric slowly turned his head toward Lucy and a wicked smile spread across his face."You know I was actually disappointed when you escaped my household."His gaze slowly swept across her trembling figure. "I had already decided. Once the tournament ended. I would make you my personal concubine."Cedric laughed. "But since your precio

Hilbert was the name of the clan head, Kael’s uncle and father to Cedric, but no one called him that apart from the great elder. No one dared to call the clan head by his name.The clan head just let out a light laugh. "That is a very audacious claim but I'll excuse that because you have a touching story." He slowly shook his head. The clan head leapt onto the arena and waved his hands. “Take Cedric away.” The nearby disciples rushed forward and carried the unconscious Cedric away. Blood dripped out of countless injuries on Cedric's body, and some broken bones were visible. It would take him one full month to heal from those injuries. "Six years ago you vanished without a trace after losing your parents. I guess you couldn’t take the hurt, but now you return raving like a lunatic with baseless accusations.”His expression was filled with disappointment. "I always pitied you and treated you well but now I see those years alone have finally broken your mind."He sighed dramatically an

Gareth's expression finally changed. Panicked. "Impossible..." he whispered.“Why... is my own sword rejecting my Qi?"Gritting his teeth, he unleashed an even greater torrent of Spirit Qi, determined to force the blade into submission.The sword quivered violently.BOOM!A terrifying force erupted from within the blade and surged back into Gareth's body."Pfft!"Gareth Valen coughed up a mouthful of blood.Gareth staggered backward, his entire arm going numb. All this happened in a second.Gareth Valen coughed up a mouthful of blood as he staggered backward and his entire arm went numb. It had all happened in less than a second.His eyes widened in utter disbelief. "Impossible."The entire colosseum erupted."Blood?!""Master Gareth was injured!""How is that possible?!""He didn't even touch him!"The disciples shot to their feet, staring at Gareth in disbelief. Even the elders' expressions changed dramatically."What just happened?""Did anyone see it?""No... I couldn't! How was M

The surrounding crowd gasped in shock. This high-grade weapon was a rare one even among weapons of its rank. It was a weapon rumored to render its wielder completely invincible.Kael's gaze locked onto the sword.His brows furrowed. A feeling of nostalgia rushed through his mind. "Father." He muttered. His voice was barely above a whisper.“How did my father’s sword fall into your hands?” Kael asked between gritted teeth.Hilbert gently caressed the blade, and his face was filled with fake nostalgia. "This is really a magnificent weapon."He smiled. "Your father treasured it more than his own life. He had really had great taste." He slowly raised it."After your parents died and you disappeared. There was no heir for this beautiful sword so naturally It became mine, and for that I owe your father my gratitude." His smile widened and he looked around proudly. "This sword helped me crush every enemy.""This weapon has accompanied me for the last six years and helped me become Clan Head

Kael's eyes turned ice-cold and his gaze swept over Hilbert before settling on Cedric. "You won't touch a single hair on either of them." His voice wasn't loud yet it carried across the entire arena."And when I'm done, I'll make both of you beg for a death you won't receive."For a heartbeat, Cedric and Hilbert just glanced at themselves in silence. Then Cedric burst into hysterical laughter. "Hahaha... Still bluffing?" Blood dripped from the corner of his lips as he pointed toward Lucy and Nova."Look carefully, Kael."While everyone had been distracted by Gareth's defeat hilbert had already moved. In the split of a second, he had closed the distance and now, only a few strides separated him from Lucy and Nova.Cedric grinned viciously."It’s late but my father is already standing beside your precious family, and you're all the way over here."His smile widened with every word. He slowly spread his arms. "So tell me how are you going to save them?"The crowd instinctively followed
