Life After Prison

A single slash was all it took to reduce Karl’s attainment, shatter his soul, cut his lifespan, and wound his physical body. The spectators were all wide-eyed in disbelief as Karl fell to the ground and lapsed into a coma. Any reasonable person could tell that Karl was utterly defeated and helpless. The sudden turn of events stunned the elders in charge of the arena and left them speechless for a moment.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Upon regaining their senses, one elder finally declared with a resounding voice, “I hereby announce that Severin is the winner of this tournament!”

His powerful proclamation echoed through the unusually quiet venue. Several moments later, the arena erupted in awe and surprise at the outcome.

“I’m not seeing things, am I?!”

“Karl…lost?”

“He’s the first-ranked core disciple, a perfect-stage level one paragon, and a prodigy with a divine constitution! How did Severin manage to defeat him so easily?!”

“Severin is insanely strong! Even Karl is no match for him!”

“Do you think Severin is now invincible against those of the same level as him?”

Disbelief was strewn all over the disciples’ faces. The scene was truly an unforgettable on. Everyone had underestimated Severin, yet he fought back against Karl and secured a resounding victory!

Karl was said to be the most exceptional prodigy within the sect, as evidence by his ranking as first core disciple as well as his reincarnation of a former powerhouse. Alas, his defeat came suddenly, and that surprising outcome left everyone in shock.

On the viewing platform, Raymond jumped up from his seat in surprise. He watched in bewilderment as Karl’s attainment drained rapidly while lying unconscious on the ground.

His mouth was agape, but he remained speechless for some time.

After a while, he took a deep breath and regained his composure, following which he uttered in a trembling voice, “Severin is a monster!”

Raymond’s breathing quickened, and he was just as shocked as anyone. He was a core disciple-albeit slightly weaker than most of the core disciples-who knew a thing or two about Karl’s background. He had expected the match to be uneventful, for he anticipated Severin’s inevitable defeat to someone who was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse and possessed the divine Sky-Soil Constitution.

Reality, however, was anything but. He never imagined Severin could defeat Karl so swiftly and decisively. Raymond had assumed Severin’s strength had an upper limit that only slightly surpassed Spencer’s and Riley’s, even as Severin had successfully secured victory against Riley earlier.
