Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2046

Sian, who stood closest to Severin, felt a tremor ripple through his body as the sword materialized. An inexplicable dread washed over him as if an aura of death was drowning him. The aura destroyed his lance-gleam dragon in a flash and surged toward him with unabated power.

Following a loud bang, Sian felt a mountain-like impact on his chest. Several of his ribs snapped under the impact. He was sent flying several meters back, dazed as he coughed up blood. Only after he managed to stabilize himself did he look at Severin with horror. Had he not reacted in time to deploy a spiritual light shield, he would have suffered so much more than just a simple injury.

There was fear and awe in his eyes as he glanced at Severin with a conflicted expression. Severin's swordwill have deflected Sian's sword beam and inflicted some heavy wounds on the latter. Had he reacted any slower, the consequences would have been extremely dire. The thought of what might have happened left Sian dripping in cold sweat as he grappled with the impasse.

The same unease gripped Uzair beside him. His purple divine thunderbolt was reduced to nothing when it came within ten meters of Severin's chaotic swordwill. His quick reflexes and rapid use of the defensive treasure spared him from suffering an injury similar to Sian's.

Tobias leaned heavily on his Soul Devouring Nail. He had escaped injury, but his face had paled.

"What kind of swordwill is this?" he muttered perplexedly as he realized that the situation ahead of him was going to be tricky to deal with. Severin's strength surpassed his expectations, as Severin had succeeded in holding his ground against three opponents and was even able to injure Sian.

Upon seeing the situation, Tobias countered and recalled his Soul Devouring Nail to form a protective barrier. The repeated boom of sword energy echoed through the air as the nail shielded it.

Uzair took a deep breath after observing the situation. His initial plan to partner with Sian and eliminate Severin first before claiming the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus seemed like a rather foolish endeavor. Still, he was reconsidering that option after seeing how resilient Severin was.

The Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus might be valuable, but it was not worth the risk. The abode held far more valuable secrets waiting to be uncovered. He felt he and Severin were simply fighting a costly battle that would work in Sian and Tobias's favor. After all, they seemed to be holding their hand in anticipation of the perfect moment to strike.
