Chapter 2496Chapter 2496 Disadvantageous
As the members of Divine Smithing Sect had been locked up for over a decade, they were weak.
Moreover, they were injured, so they had a hard time gaining an upper hand over the members of Evil
Heart Sect.
At that, Quindon and the emissaries took off their masks to join the fight. The second Aislin saw her
father, she darted over to him. However, when her gaze landed on his purple robe, disbelief entered
her eyes.
Nevertheless, it was not the right time for Quindon to explain everything to her. He could only focus on
his fight against the members of Evil Heart Sect.
With Quindon and the emissaries joining in, the members of Evil Heart Sect started waning in the fight.
Meanwhile, Malphas was hiding in a corner as he watched the battle unfold, not knowing what to do.
Tanner, who was floating in the air, could see everyone from his position.
Tanner showed no signs of anger despite noticing Malphas hiding in a corner.
There was no sorrow in Tanner's eyes as he watched the members of Evil Heart Sect fall one after
another, lifeless. It was as if those who died were nothing but strangers to him.
Jared and Skylar engaged in a fierce battle, swinging their swords with great vigor. Despite Skylar
having a higher cultivation level than Jared, he soon realized that he was losing his advantage in the
fight. The realization darkened Skylar's expression, fueling his determination as he swung his sword with
even greater ferocity.
As everyone was preoccupied with their respective battles, no one noticed that a black hole in Divine
Quest Sect's secret realm was absorbing the aura the people were unleashing.
All aura, anger, murderous intent, and even the souls of the dead were getting sucked into the black
hole.
Having no idea of its existence, the people continued fighting to their deaths.
As the battle intensified, the casualties mounted, and the wicked grin spread across Tanner's face grew
ever more pronounced.
“Jared, how can you keep up in the fight against me for such a long time despite having a lesser
cultivation level than me? Why? Why is this so? Do you know how much suffering I had to go through
to kill you?”
Skylar could not fathom why he was unable to defeat Jared despite upgrading himself by absorbing the
power of others.
“Do you think that this fight has gone on for far too long? In that case, let's end this.”
In a swift motion, Jared hurled his Dragonslayer Sword, and his body began to emit a radiant golden
glow. As the glow intensified, shimmering golden scales emerged, enveloping his entire form. Skylar froze. He never thought that Jared would toss his weapon.
Though he sensed that Jared had to have a reason for that, he could not pass up the chance of striking
Jared down while Jared was unarmed before him.
“Die!”
Skylar unleashed an immensely powerful strike, unleashing a colossal beam of golden light that surged
toward Jared with incredible force.
Boom!
The sound of a thunderous explosion was accompanied by a blinding burst of light. In the next
moment, a frenzied aura began rushing in all directions.
The slash had stupefied all the fighting people as they stared at the air in a trance.
Jared's body was struck by the sword, and he plummeted like a meteor before crashing heavily onto
the ground. The impact created a deep create that spanned over ten meters in diameter.
The turn of events left the members of Divine Smithing Sect in a state of shock. They had anticipated
Jared's return to Ethereal Realm, only to witness his demise as soon as he made a move.
Quindon and the others were equally taken aback by the outcome. They had not anticipated that Jared
would struggle against Skylar, so how was he supposed to defeat Tanner and Evil Heart Sect?
Meanwhile, Skylar glanced down at the smoke and saw no sign of Jared's body—he only saw the dust-filled ground. At that, he could not help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Jared, at the end of the day, you're still no match for me. I've finally killed you!”
Skylar was elated and smug.
What he did not notice was the presence of the sword spirit, Zelda, who was brandishing a sharp sword
and poised to strike him from above.
Tanner could see that Zelda was about to deal a fatal blow to Skylar, but he made no move to
intervene.
