Life After Prison

Chapter 2313

After receiving Blake's command, Zeb sneered at Karl, who was desperately trying to make a break for it. "I'll spare you the pain if you don't run away!"

Karl thought wryly to himself, 'This can't be happening...' Angst filled his heart as he swiftly tried to explain, "Stop! It's all a misunderstanding!"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Zeb sneered in response. "It doesn't matter to me. You've disrespected my family, so there's no reason for me to spare your life!"

It was of paramount importance that the secrecy of the metal Uru's location was maintained. Having just chased Elron away, neither Zeb nor Blake could afford to let Karl go and risk attracting more prodigies to the treasure. Zeb raced forth with determination and activated his perfect-stage level four paragon attainment. He chased up to Karl in an instant, and he extended his hand to form a claw that seized Karl mid-flight. A black glow burst forth from Zeb's fingertips, ensnaring Karl within.

Death seemed to have come knocking, and Karl became increasingly anxious as he screamed, "No! This is a misunderstanding, my friend! I swear!"

Before he could finish, Zeb's golden spear descended once more, releasing a crescent-shaped spear beam that was flowing with murderous intent. Shocked, Karl raised a small cauldron above his head to form a protective shield.

The crescent-shaped light collided with the defensive shield and shattered the small cauldron. Karl felt the residual impact following the destruction of his defensive spiritual treasure, vomiting blood in retum as his aura waned.

Concealed within the shadows, Severin was shocked to sense Karl's diminishing aura and decided that it was about time to intervene. "Karl won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Zeb's hands were full with having to handle Karl, and Severin felt that it was the best opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Blake. With Blake out of the way, the metal Uru would soon be his.

Those thoughts spurred Severin into directing his focus over to where Blake was. The energy center within his body seemed to grow exponentially, and his formidable strength was starting to fill his limbs. Even the green lotus within the sea of energy was starting to burn.

The next second, Severin sprang into action.

'Don't hurt my senior!!" Emerging from the void about a hundred feet away Blake, Severin's level three paragon aura shattered the surrounding space and drew forth a slew of elements. The Lotus Divine Attack, manifested as a tri-colored green lotus emitting fierce flames, emitted a piercing howl as it streaked through the air.

As soon as Severin launched his attack, Blake sensed an impending danger while still sitting cross-legged and recovering from his wounds. His expression shifted drastically as he exclaimed, "Who's there?"

The Lotus Divine Attack caused Blake's pupils to contract, and he hastily raised his hands to form a defensive seal.

However, Severin's strength had surged significantly, thereby doubling the power of the Lotus Divine Attack. Even a level five paragon would sustain severe injuries if the attack landed on them. Despite Blake's formidable strength, his depleted spiritual energy that resulted from the battle he had just concluded rendered him at less than sixty percent strength. He stood no chance against Severin's enhanced Lotus Divine Attack.
