In fact! Luna Porter only spoke half of her concerns!
She worried that Sean and Cecilia, when driven to desperation, might choose to self-destruct, taking Roscoe and the others with them. That was one concern!
She feared that they might fail to kill Sean, allowing him to escape. That was another!
But the most important point!
The one Luna Porter did not mention!
A severely injured Sean was not frightening!
A dying Cecilia was not frightening!
What was frightening was the incredibly powerful, yet mysterious woman behind Sean and Cecilia. A woman whose name was known, but even King Ron had never seen her!
Liane Field!
Today’s battle, for those like Prince Adam and Prince Lillard who were unaware of Liane Field’s existence, was merely a peak showdown between Bright Realm practitioners, witnessing the terror of Bright Realm practitioners!
However! For Luna Porter and Roscoe, they felt the deadly threat and immense pressure from Liane Field!
Imagine! A Bright Realm practitioner was already so terrifying, then how terrifying could a person be who could create a Bright Realm practitioner merely with a drop of blood???
Liane Field!
Who exactly is she?
How strong is she?
Where is she?
This! Is what Roscoe is worrying about. Even if they manage to kill Sean and Cecilia today with their numerical advantage, what if Liane Field suddenly appears to avenge them???
Who! Can stop her???
After all! After Cecilia activated that drop of Liane Field’s blood, her body was occupied by Liane Field’s consciousness. Liane Field, who was somewhere unknown, might already know about what happened in the imperial city through that drop of blood!
The wrath of Liane Field, perhaps no one could bear!!!
Including Luna Porter, Prince Adam, Prince Lillard, hundreds of dark energy practitioners, and thousands of guards followed behind Roscoe. They quickly closed the encirclement, all heading toward the already crumbling Hall of Throne!
They were just waiting for Roscoe’s order to charge into the Hall of Throne and kill Sean, Cecilia, and the others…
…
At that moment, within the Throne Hall, Sean and Cecilia together were swept off their feet by the chilling gale and massive shockwave produced by King Ron’s self-detonation. They were hurled through the shattered windows of the Throne Hall and landed harshly on the floor within, mere meters away from the crack in the floor that Cecilia had earlier created with her slash. They narrowly missed falling through the crack into the underground altar.
Thud!
Thud, thud…
Following their fall, Sean and Cecilia continued to spew fresh blood. Their skeletal frames nearly shattered from the impact!
In comparison, Cecilia’s condition was worse than Sean’s!
Sean, panting heavily, turned his head to look at Cecilia beside him. At that moment, Cecilia looked like a blood-soaked figure. Her dazzling red wedding dress, her shoulder, pierced by King Ron’s sword and still bleeding profusely, and her beautiful face streaked with blood – just one glance was enough to fill Sean with rage and sorrow.
“Liane!”
“Cecilia!”
Sean wasn’t sure who was in control of Cecilia’s body at the moment, Liane Field or Cecilia herself. So, he gritted his teeth and called out, attempting to sit up to check on Cecilia, but he lacked the strength.
At that moment, Sean felt like a deflated ball, absolutely drained of energy.
“Mr. Mason!”
Just then, Tim Lewis burst into the Throne Hall.
“Boss!”
“Cecilia!”
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf followed close behind.
Sean glanced at the three of them and noticed that their bodies were similarly drenched in blood. Apart from Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were obviously seriously injured.
Furthermore, Pupil Wolf’s eyes were covered with a grey cloth, and two conspicuous bloodstains soaked through the cloth at her pupils’ position.
“Pupil Wolf!”
A chill ran down Sean’s spine. His mouth twitched severely, and he immediately sensed something terrible. He asked, “What happened to your eyes?”
“It’s nothing,” Pupil Wolf, though blindfolded, faced Sean accurately. She crouched beside Sean, helped him sit up, and casually said, “Just a minor injury, nothing serious.”
“I won’t die.”
Sean naturally did not believe such an obvious lie.
So, Sean turned to look at Spirit Wolf. In front of Pupil Wolf, Spirit Wolf didn’t have the heart to speak and only shook his head in sorrow.
Instantly, Sean’s heart sank to the bottom.
He knew too well the dreadful consequences that overusing the pupil technique would bring to Pupil Wolf.
“It’s just a pair of eyes!”
“If they’re gone, they’re gone!”
Seeming to anticipate the silent exchange between Sean and Spirit Wolf, Pupil Wolf’s lips curled into a slight smile. She grinned and said, “When God closes a door, He opens a window!”
“Now I feel that, without sight, my perception is actually sharper than before. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise.”
Pupil Wolf was optimistic.
However, even a fool could hear the self-comfort in her words.
In the past, on the battlefields of the North, they had licked their wounds and experienced life and death. Every member of the Bloody Wolf Group had honed a heart of steel.
Although Sean was grief-stricken, he didn’t dwell on the issue and asked instead, “Where are the others?”
At his words, Spirit Wolf’s already sorrowful face darkened further, and the smile Pupil Wolf had forced onto her face froze.
Seeing this, Sean’s heart sank even further.
“Mr. Mason!”
Tim Lewis timely changed the subject, his voice heavy, “Miss Moore is still alive.”
The next moment, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf moved to lift Cecilia and brought her to Sean’s side.
Spirit Wolf then carefully examined Cecilia’s injuries.
Following that, his already grave expression darkened further.
As dark as death itself!
Seeing Spirit Wolf’s expression, Sean’s heart sank deeper, and the heart that had been so strong seemed to shatter in an instant. He spurted out another mouthful of blood.
“Is there no hope???”
Sean wanted to ask, but he couldn’t bring himself to voice the question!!!
Suddenly! There were chaotic and low footsteps approaching from outside the Hall of Throne, getting closer and closer. Clearly, Roscoe and his men were closing in!
“Damn it!!!”
Spirit Wolf cursed through gritted teeth and coldly ordered, “You guys take the boss and Cecilia out through the back door!”
“I’ll hold them off!!!”
Hold them off?
Even a fool knew that Spirit Wolf wouldn’t be able to stop them. If Roscoe and his men were determined to kill Sean, Spirit Wolf stepping out would just be a senseless sacrifice!
However! Faced with death, Spirit Wolf showed no fear or hesitation!
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Sean to object. He stood up and walked out of the Hall of Throne, radiating murderous intent!
“I’ll go too!”
Pupil Wolf followed closely behind. Without looking back, she said to Tim Lewis, “Master Tim, if we can save the boss and Cecilia today and help them escape, I will repay your kindness in my next life, even if I have to become a cow or a horse!”
The two of them left with unwavering determination!
Seeing this, Tim Lewis’s face turned green. He thought to himself, there are so many dark energy practitioners and guards outside, more than a dozen of them are at the Complete Stage. Even if he wanted to save them, he had to be capable of doing so!
Forget about taking Sean and Cecilia with him, even if Tim Lewis was to escape alone, he had no confidence that he could make it out of the royal city!
“Mr. Mason!”
Tim Lewis looked at Sean and said with difficulty, “This…”
Sean asked, “The antidote!”
“Did you get it?”
Tim Lewis was taken aback, then quickly nodded, “Yes, we got it!”
“After we rescued the princess and your daughter, Spirit Wolf gave us the antidote!”
Phyllis! She was saved!!!
Hearing this news, Sean’s heart, which was filled with grief, finally received a bit of comfort!
“Good!”
“As long as you got it!”
Sean nodded to signal him, “You should leave too!”
“Roscoe should be cautious and won’t dare to kill indiscriminately!”
“Later!”
“I’ll do my best to save the three of you!”
“After you leave!”
“Please take care of Phyllis!”
Tim Lewis’s face changed drastically when he heard this. From Sean’s words, it sounded like he was preparing to entrust his daughter to him before his death. Was he planning to use his life as a bargaining chip, to negotiate with Roscoe and the others, in order to ensure their safety???
