Nelson had already experienced Sebastian’s terrifying power firsthand. He knew that even if he joined forces with Merlin, they stood no chance. His only hope for survival was to escape.
However, Sebastian had no intention of letting him get away. With a cold smile, Sebastian pointed a finger at him, and a beam of white light shot out from it. In an instant, the light penetrated Nelson’s back, exiting through his chest.
A moment later, a bloom of crimson blossomed on his chest, followed by a spattering spray.
Nelson let out a horrific scream and collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony. A single hole marred his flesh, but strangely, no more blood flowed from it. Instead, black smoke billowed from the wound as if it had been cauterized.
This was because Sebastian’s spiritual energy was active energy. It was pure and fiery, like a scorching flame. Even Merlin’s chest was smoldering. This fierce energy had burned a large area.
Elena was stunned by the scene. Both her father and Nelson were renowned divine grandmasters, yet they were utterly helpless before Sebastian. She found it unbelievable that Sebastian could trounce them.
Rainey was equally shocked. She knew Sebastian had only just reached the Divine Realm, yet both veteran grandmasters, like Merlin and Nelson, couldn’t withstand a single blow from him. His power was astonishing,
As Sebastian approached, the terrified Nelson crawled backward. He pleaded for his life.
“Mr. Wilder, please, don’t kill me. Spare me, and I promise never to oppose you again,” Nelson begged.
“Spare you?” Sebastian sneered. “Let’s set aside our personal grievances. You’ve slaughtered countless of Dragothans. Your hands are soaked in blood. Even if I killed you a hundred times, it wouldn’t atone for your sins. You think I’ll spare you? Dream on.”
Sebastian’s killing intent was palpable.
“I know I was wrong. Give me a chance to make amends. I’ll give you lots of money. Just spare my life.” Nelson knelt before Sebastian and begged desperately.
Sebastian pretended to relent, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance to repent.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Nelson said quickly. He secretly vowed to find a place to train and return for revenge.
But as he prepared to leave, Sebastian grabbed his shoulder and crushed his bones.
Nelson cried out in agony.
“Why? Why did you break your word?” Nelson demanded in fury.
“I said I wouldn’t kill you. I never said I wouldn’t cripple you. Enjoy your suffering,” Sebastian replied, breaking more of Nelson’s bones.
Nelson’s screams grew louder, terrifying everyone present.
Merlin and Elena were terrified. Just as they tried to escape, Sebastian swiftly blocked their path.
“If you want to leave, you’ll need to leave your lives behind.”
Elena stepped in front of Merlin. “Sebastian, please, let us go.”
“Alright, I’ll let you live. Join Nelson in his misery,” Sebastian said, grabbing Elena’s shoulder.
As he prepared to crush her bones, Elena suddenly said, “I’m carrying your child!”
