Chapter 816: 258. Sidney’s Death_3

The man clutching the crystal had a lush beard, a rough-hewn face, and long hair tied in coarse braids, giving the impression of a wilderness barbarian.

Instead of wearing a magic robe like an ordinary wizard, he was clad in dark leather armor that left his brawny arms exposed, his muscular lines taut.

He looked more like a sea wanderer drifting through the ocean than a wizard.

His face bore the wrinkles and scars of time and battle, his eyes filled with disappointment and sorrow.

That vivid look didn’t seem like a disguise, and it was quickly detected by the pleading Sidney Pomida.

Sidney Pomida’s spectral form seized up, staring blankly at the man in front of him, all too familiar, and shakily said,

“Big… Big Brother… You really came… then before…”

“Sidney, I am very disappointed in you.”

The burly man Sidney Pomida called “Big Brother” was none other than Lonco Pomida, the second in line to the Pomida family.

Lonco Pomida took a deep breath, holding back the tears in his eyes, and squeezed hard.

“Crack crack crack.” The crystal shattered.

Sidney Pomida’s soul was exposed to the air.

He dully watched his own brother until he faded and vanished, ending his sinful life.

Lonco Pomida opened his right hand, staring blankly at the crystal fragments within, his eyes unseeing.

From the side came soft sobs; it was Selena, who had been invisible, now revealing herself beside Lonco Pomida, covering her face and crying uncontrollably.

The sea water stirred up by Sidney Pomida was still falling.

Water droplets turned to fine rain, slipping through Lonco Pomida’s fingers, carrying away the crystal fragments in his hand.

Lonco Pomida sighed heavily, looking towards an empty spot ahead of him.

Under his gaze, the planner, executor, and direct participant of the whole incident, Noland Lee, appeared within the pale purple light of illusion magic.

Using the “Levitation Spell” enchanted onto his shoes, Noland stayed afloat in human form in the air, not falling towards the sea surface.

Noland scrutinized the man before him, noting his resolve:

“I thought you’d spare Sidney Pomida for the sake of being blood brothers, but I didn’t expect you to send him off so decisively.”

“From the moment he sided with the sea monsters, he was no longer my brother.” Lonco Pomida raised his hand to gently pat Selena’s back in comfort:

“How could I tolerate such a traitor living in this world and still face my loyally devoted brothers and sisters in the family and the Academy?”

Noland couldn’t hide his admiration for the other:

“Your decisiveness and wisdom are admirable.”
