Chapter 62
A group of brawny men couldn't wait any longer.
They surged forward at Elena's command, eager to race toward Lillian.
"You vile woman, I'll have your life!" roared Sebastian, his voice booming. It caused the place to tremble.
There were not only hundreds of warriors but also many members of the Andrew family inside the place. Many of them had not reached the Warrior Realm and were instantly shaken, bleeding from their bodies.
Even those in Warrior Realm suffered, their eardrums bursting and their heads buzzing.
Elena also turned pale with shock. "What? The Divine Realm? How is this possible?" She was astounded. Those who had reached the Divine Realm were few and far between, mostly venerable elders known for ages. The youngest among them was in their 50s.
However, Sebastian had achieved this realm in his mid-20s, which far exceeded her expectations.
With a fierce slap to the ground, Sebastian shattered the floor beneath him and propelled himself toward Lillian.
"Kill him!" Elena's eyes shone with cold light as she drew a short sword and charged at Sebastian.
If Sebastian's legs had been intact, she would have fled immediately.
But now, with his legs broken and his mobility severely hindered, she saw a golden opportunity to eliminate him and remove a future threat.
Meanwhile, four men in black suits wielded large blades and rushed at Sebastian.
These were the Four Guardians of the Novastar Organization, each a grandmaster-level individual possessing formidable strength.
Additionally, numerous martial artists from the Novastar Organization surrounded Sebastian from all sides. Their palpable killing intent came closing in.
Andrew did not intervene, choosing instead to escape with his men. He took Lillian with him. Sebastian attempted to stop them but found himself unable due to being surrounded by Elena and the Four Guardians. His broken legs hampered him, rendering him powerless to
act.
Having pushed Sebastian back, Elena sneered, "I made a promise to Andrew to hand over Lillian after our plan succeeded. But don't fret, Andrew is relatively kind to women. He might toy with her, but he won't take her life."
"Die!" Rage ignited Sebastian's resolve.
Sebastian was incapacitated and unable to stand because of his injured legs, forcing him to attack from his position on the ground. He was using his palms to support his body weight.
Typically, a grandmaster-level practitioner could externalize their energy, but it would dissipate upon leaving the body. Thus, the power would be significantly reduced.
However, the divine energy from the Divine Realm was superior in nature. It remained potent even when externalized and retained much of its strength within a three-yard radius.
Each of Sebastian's strikes unleashed a torrent of violent energy. Elena and her companions dared not approach too closely, circling at a distance and attacking from behind.
Neither side could gain the upper hand, resulting in a deadlock.
However, Elena and her companions were not in a hurry. They preferred to drag out the fight.
This was because Sebastian's broken legs caused him excruciating pain with every move, further aggravating his injuries.
The longer the fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for him.
Yet, this was not Sebastian's greatest concern - he was most worried about Lillian's safety.
With her taken away by Andrew, failing to rescue her would surely result in her being humiliated by Andrew.
Another quarter of an hour had passed, and Sebastian found himself unable to break through. He even accumulated more wounds in the process.
These injuries were mostly inflicted by Elena's sword energy, indicating her formidable strength even among grandmaster-level practitioners. Coupled with the help of the Four Guardians, they occasionally landed blows on Sebastian.
A fierce and ruthless look flashed in Sebastian's eyes. In the next second, he forcefully pressed his palms against the ground and propelled himself toward Elena.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
