Severin's determined tone reverberated like a thunderbolt. He unleashed his level three paragon aura, tearing apart the surrounding space and whipping up a tempest of wind.
Halbert's expression froze upon hearing Severin's resolute tone, but the stiffness was only momentary. A playful smile tugged at his lips. In his eyes, level three paragons could be crushed with the simplest of movements. As a core disciple of the Yellow Tribe Sacred Land, his demonic skills rivaled those of a level six paragon, earning him the respect of people like Blake.
Evil practitioners were distinct from their righteous counterparts in that they delved into mystical techniques that consumed a person's essence, soul, and negative energy. Any practitioner not well-versed with its devious nature would not be able to easily counter an evil practitioner's attacks.
Therefore, Halbert believed that Severin's fate was already sealed. "Since you do not wish to hand it over, I will have no choice but to take it myself!" Halbert declared proudly. The black, demonic energy enveloping him surged forth and became as vast as a mountain. It twisted and coiled in the starry sky and emitted the faint cries of souls.
At the same time, Halbert's level five attainment was thoroughly unleashed, causing the space around him to distort. As he raised his hand, he unleashed a punch that caused the demonic energy to transform into a black skeleton with a bloody gape. An aura of destruction emanated from the skeleton as it attacked Severin.
Halbert's surprise was evident as he saw Severin resist the mighty blow. He frowned slightly and smirked, "I understand why Blake suffered at your hands now. You are rather strong. It's a pity that your attainment level is too low for you to survive against me!"
With a flick of his hand, Halbert produced his weapon—a long whip known as the Soul-Devouring Bone Whip. There were spikes all over the whip, and they were made out of spines that belonged to ninety-nine supreme saints. Further imbued within were the resentful souls of those deceased individuals
