Chapter 256: The End is Near, Sean is in Danger
The Black-scaled Python hissed angrily. If it could speak like a human, it would have cursed Sean from head to toe. Even in the South Forest, filled with ferocious beasts, it was the undisputed king of the jungle!
When had it ever suffered such humiliation?
Incredibly, it was grabbed by its tail, like a toy, and swung around!
“I am a python!”
“I am a python, alright?”
Do you think I am just some ordinary snake? Can you have any respect?
However, no one paid attention to its anger. When its head struck at Fergus Archer, Fergus dodged with his bone-crushing hammer in hand!
If it were any other “weapon,” Fergus wouldn’t have dodged!
With Fergus’s strength, he would have countered with a strike!
The bone-crushing hammer in Fergus Archer’s hand weighed over a hundred pounds, as big as a grinding stone. One strike could probably crush the Black-scaled Python’s head!
In the beginning, when Fergus Archer tamed the Black-scaled Python, it had suffered quite a bit and endured many hardships under his hands!
Otherwise, the proud king of the jungle would never have willingly become Fergus Archer’s pet!
Boom!
It escaped Fergus Archer’s bone-crushing hammer, but it couldn’t escape the huge rock on the mountain top. After Fergus Archer dodged, the python’s head crashed into the rock, shattering it!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next few minutes, Sean turned the situation around, using the massive body of the Black-scaled Python as his weapon, swinging it with grace and unparalleled strength!
Fergus Archer didn’t want to kill his beloved pet with his hammer, so he could only dodge!
Julia, standing in front of the stone tablet, was stunned!
“Mr. Mason, he…”
“Is he really that powerful?”
Julia held her breath and finally let out a sigh of relief!
But the ones who were stunned were not just Julia!
There were also Gerard and Carl’s teams, hiding a hundred meters away to the north and south, waiting for their chance to strike!
“Can you do it?” Gerard asked with a solemn face, looking at the arrogant Sean on the top of the mountain without turning his head.
“No!”
“No!”
“No!”
The twenty Complete Stage elders standing behind Gerard shook their heads.
Someone said, “Ordinary Complete Stage people couldn’t possibly be this strong!”
“No wonder!”
“No wonder Sean could fight three Complete Stages during the battle at the Kats River!”
“Perhaps…”
“As Fergus Archer said earlier, Sean might have already touched the threshold of the Bright Realm and stepped half a foot into its ranks!”
Upon hearing this, Gerard’s eyelids couldn’t resist twitching!
If this were true, the situation would be extremely unfavorable. If Sean and Fergus Archer both ended up badly injured and lost their fighting abilities, the consequences would be unimaginable!
On the other hand, Carl’s eyes were shining with excitement, his face full of anticipation. He couldn’t wait to cheer for Sean and support him!
“Bright Realm!!!”
Fergus Archer’s words earlier hadn’t escaped their ears!
Carl’s Complete Stage elders exchanged glances, deeply shocked and suddenly enlightened. So that was the reason for Prince Roscoe’s previous respect for Sean, even after being offended!
A young man with one foot in the Bright Realm had unlimited potential!
Such a person deserved Prince Roscoe’s respect!
Boom!
As everyone was quietly shocked, a loud noise suddenly came. It seemed that Sean had grown tired of playing and casually threw the Black-scaled Python that he had been swinging around for so long!
The python’s huge body rolled down the mountain, smashing a path more than ten meters wide in an instant. Trees were broken, and rocks collapsed wherever it went!
There was no choice!
Swinging around such a huge beast was exhausting and consumed a lot of dark energy!
As for Fergus Archer…
He dodged relentlessly, not daring to face it head-on!
“You little brat!”
Fergus Archer, after dodging for so long, had also built up a lot of anger. He glanced at the Black-scaled Python thrown off the mountain by Sean and shouted, “You dare to hurt my pet, I’ll take your life!”
As soon as his words fell, he lifted his bone-crushing hammer and charged towards Sean!
“Bring it on!”
Sean was fearless!
He pulled out the Wolf’s Massacre embedded in the stone slab beneath his feet, clashed head-on, and in an instant, the two were fighting together, moving at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to capture!
The sound of clashing weapons rang out, and the flashes of blades and swords flickered!
Centered around Sean and Fergus Archer, an unparalleled surge of dark energy erupted, stirring up gusts of wind and sending sand and stones flying. The intensity of the battle was such that even the elderly in the Complete Stage couldn’t help but feel their hearts race!
Chills ran down their spines!
They were competing in strength, dark energy reserves, speed, and battle experience!
In every aspect, Sean and Fergus Archer were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine the winner. In just a short minute, the two had clashed relentlessly over a hundred times!
But after that minute…
“Not good!” cried Carl, who was hiding in the shadows, his face full of excitement, ready to charge in and kill Fergus Archer at any moment. “Mr. Mason’s consuming too much dark energy; he’s showing signs of fatigue!”
“He seems to be at a disadvantage!”
“If this continues, things will take a turn for the worse!”
As they watched, Fergus Archer, wielding his bone-crushing hammer on the mountaintop, fought like a frenzied flood beast, growing stronger and more ferocious with each passing moment. There were no signs of weakness in him!
In contrast, Sean seemed to be running out of steam!
Boom!
As the bone-crushing hammer swung, Sean raised his sword to block, but was knocked back five or six meters. Fergus Archer pressed his advantage, leaping forward and raising his hammer high to strike down upon Sean’s head!
He shouted loudly, “What a thrill!”
“Damn it, this is thrilling!”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve met an opponent like you!”
“Come on!”
“Take my hammer!”
Boom!
Caught off guard, Sean had no time to dodge and instinctively raised Wolf’s Massacre to withstand the blow!
The next moment, another deafening noise resounded!
The combined force of Fergus Archer’s brute strength, the weight of the bone-crushing hammer, and the downward momentum created an attack akin to a thunderbolt, pushing Fergus Archer’s attack power to its limit!
Crack!
With a powerful blow, Sean’s body involuntarily bent downward, his feet shattering the stone slabs beneath him, creating a deep indentation!
The veins in Sean’s arms bulged once more!
And on his face!
And on his neck!
His face turned red!
His internal organs churned, and he felt an urge to cough up blood, but he clenched his teeth and forced it back down!
“Get lost!!!” Sean roared, his eyes wide open and full of fury. His previously bent legs suddenly straightened, and he raised his arms in a swift motion!
He sent Fergus Archer and his bone-crushing hammer flying on the spot!
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!
Fergus Archer retreated five or six steps before stabilizing himself!NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Bright energy!” Fergus Archer glared at Sean and sneered, “You little brat, you’ve really set foot into the Bright Realm and stored some bright energy inside you!”
“With my last hammer strike, if you had only dark energy, you would have undoubtedly perished!”
Little did he know!
In that last strike, Fergus Archer had also used a bit of his own bright energy, greatly amplifying the power of his attack, aiming to kill Sean with a single blow!
Sean’s retaliation confirmed Fergus Archer’s suspicion!
“Is that so?” Sean said solemnly, “It’s still uncertain who will fall today!”
It was undeniable!
Fergus Archer was the strongest opponent Sean had faced so far, superior to him in every aspect except age!
Even more so!
What Sean couldn’t understand was why Fergus Archer kept mentioning the Bright Realm, seemingly unafraid of exposing his entry into the Bright Realm, despite knowing Gerard and Carl’s teams were lurking nearby!
This forced Sean to use his own bright energy as well!
“Enough!”
Fergus Archer lifted his bone-crushing hammer once more and charged at Sean with overwhelming force. After activating their bright energy, the battle between the two became even more brutal.
And Sean…
He was still at a disadvantage, being relentlessly suppressed by Fergus Archer, unable to hide his decline.
“Prince Carl!”
The Complete Stage elders behind Carl became anxious, worrying, “We can’t go on like this!”
“Fergus Archer is aggressively pushing!”
“Mr. Mason’s defeat is evident!”
“Should we intervene now, disrupt the situation, and give Mr. Mason a chance to catch his breath?”
Carl’s face was extremely solemn.
Cold as ice!
After some thought, Carl shook his head and said, “No!”
“Fergus Archer is unscathed and full of fighting spirit. If we go there, we’ll only become cannon fodder in his hands. Maybe we could save Sean’s life, but it’s not worth it!”
“Get ready!”
“If Sean can’t hurt Fergus Archer and the outcome is decided, retreat immediately!”
Retreat!
Not worth it!
Saving Sean’s life would surely cost more of their lives!
Moreover!
Sean had already found out that Pierce Porter was the murderer behind the assassination of Williams Mason years ago, and he had lost faith in Prince Roscoe. Keeping Sean alive would bring more harm than good to Prince Roscoe’s faction.
Prince Roscoe had set up this situation only to use Sean to kill Fergus Archer.
There was never any intention of letting Sean live!
So…
Save?
Save what!
The elders were only following orders and did not know Prince Roscoe’s entire plan. So when they heard Carl’s somewhat unkind words, they were momentarily enlightened but quickly fell into confusion again.
Wasn’t Prince Roscoe very respectful and appreciative of Sean?
Why would he let him die?
They couldn’t understand!
On the other side, Gerard, like Carl just a moment ago, had gleaming eyes and an excited expression. He ordered, “Prepare for battle!”
“As soon as Fergus Archer kills Sean, rush out!”
“Kill Carl and his people, all of them!”
“Leave no one behind!”
The elders behind Gerard were full of fighting spirit and nodded in unison, “Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
The battle between Sean and Fergus Archer seemed to be nearing its end, and next up would be the battle between Gerard and Carl!
Hiss!
Hiss hiss hiss!
Just as both sides were on high alert and waiting for the right moment, suddenly, a familiar voice came from the foot of the mountain. They turned to look and saw that the black-scaled python, which Sean had thrown down the mountain earlier, had returned furiously!
