Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2871

Baldwin dragged his skeletal remains in mid-air after being struck with Severin's sword energy and roared fiercely, "Severin!"

Severin's attack had inflicted serious injuries upon him and filled him with an unparalleled sense of panic. It was an outright defeat unlike their last encounter in the Eastern Sea, where he had managed to momentarily subdue Severin with his peculiar techniques before succumbing to a gradual defeat despite his best efforts. At present, he was left utterly and completely powerless to retaliate against Severin.

Filled with an unprecedented horror, Baldwin let out a frustrated roar before turning to Xavier, "I need your help, Xavier!"

It was impossible to face Severin alone. A great amount of effort had been needed just to produce the clone, and he needed to preserve it at all costs instead of letting Severin vanquish him. Therefore, his only hope was in Xavier's intervention. Yet, despite Baldwin's plea, Xavier seemed to be so engrossed in his own battle against the Menzies without showing even the slightest inclination to come to Baldwin's aid.

He cursed Xavier and immediately turned to flee. Knowing that he was no match for Severin, prolonging the fight was not going to change the situation. It was an unfortunate consequence of his weak clone.

Severin glanced at Baldwin's attempt to escape and sneered. "Trying to flee? You'd have to go through me first!"

He knew the danger of letting Baldwin escape. If his true form were to break free from its seal, it would spell catastrophe for the entire Bleurealm. Severin was not foolish enough to allow that to happen.

Upon seeing the elder's faltering life force following the severe and noticeable physical injuries, Severin noted that the elder might soon face an untimely demise at any moment. Without further ado, Severin swiftly recalled the Green Emperor's Pagoda and transformed into a streak of light. With his fist extended forward, he aimed a punch right in Xavier's direction.

Severin's punch illuminated the sky, drawing upon the energy from the stars above to form a huge glowing punch.

Xavier, locked in a brutal struggle with the Laskin, the Menzies' half-immortal, bellowed in fury at the audacious attack from someone he deemed was beneath him. "I'll kill you!"
