54 Isll Be Back 3 (1/2)

The defensive formations around Dyon dissipated as the pain shocked him out of concentration.

Dyon immediately felt arrows flying into his back. A raging torrent of lightning, fire and destruction blasted him hundreds of meters away.

”FATHER! YOU HAVE TO SAVE HIM!” Ava yelled at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her face.

The elders laughed uproariously, ”did you think that you were a genius? There are no dead geniuses you naïve boy!”

Dyon lay face first in the water. Everyone expected the geniuses to start moving towards him, but their faces paled as they looked at the stamina drained so-called geniuses.

”The geniuses…”

”They're all too tired…”

”I'll finish it!” A torrential soul power erupted from Saeclum, immediately charging towards Dyon.

Dyon, who was face first in the ocean, could only enjoy the coolness that was washing over him, '*sigh, some relaxation.'

BOOM!

A soul attack invaded Dyon's being, attempting to rip him from the inside out.

Dyon chuckled, immediately activating his devour skill. He had long since noticed that Saeclum was gearing up an attack, and it was for this exact reason he placed concealments on his soul power. If Saeclum had known Dyon's true soul strength, he would have never tried a soul attack.

BOOM!

”*cough,” an endless flow of blood started coming out of Saeclum's mouth.

”Saeclum? SAECLUM!” Ipsum rushed to his side, holding him up as he sunk into the water.

Saeclum was smiling bitterly, ”he's… he's a true genius…” The last thought that passed through Saeclum's mind was how incomparably monumental Dyon's soul power was compared to his.

Saeclum's life force left him completely as he fell into Ipsum's arms. Ipsum trembled, not knowing what to do with the blood on her hands. She could only stare in shock.

Wasn't this supposed to be easy? Weren't they supposed to stomp on him like they would an ant? Why had the only man she had ever loved died in her arms then?

”I'LL KILL YOU!” Ipsum looked up in rage, screeching in Dyon's direction.

Dyon couldn't be bothered with such a hypocrite, was he supposed to allow himself to be killed? The idiot tried to use a soul attack with soul power only comparable to a high-level formation stage expert while Dyon had a soul comparable to a peak level meridian formation expert. The comparison was laughable. Dyon was well aware of the fact that soul power usually lagged behind energy cultivation, and with his perception, how could Saeclum hide his soul strength from him?

Dyon slowly got up from the water letting Saeclum's attack fuel him with a last bit of energy, scanning the eyes of everyone, ”I warned you all that I was ready for you to come. No matter how many you may be. No matter where it is you come from. It's funny that you in the crowd are supporting elders you didn't even know sacrificed thousands of your friends and family to open a world they had no idea about. It's funny that you place God Clans on a pedestal, when the supposed one in front of you can't even control its own branch clans. It's funny that you call yourselves geniuses when you can't even beat a boy 2 years younger than you with no cultivation. I think the funniest thing though is that you actually thought that if you killed me, it would mean Madeleine would give you a chance. It's no wonder you never captured her heart, you simple minded idiots.”
