Life After Prison

Chapter 2320Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Karl only managed to survive against a perfect-stage level four paragon like Zeb by leveraging on his extensive experience from fighting royal paragons in his previous life. That had allowed him to push the boundaries of survival.

Lucky as he may be in narrowly escaping death, Karl still bore severe injuries. As he observed the situation unfold, he realized that it was futile to remain there. The meteorite belt's opportunities would remain inaccessible to him regardless of whether Severin or the two Menzie prodigies secured victory. Opting to leave and preserve his life, Karl cast an angry glare at Severin before vanishing into the starry expanse in a stream of light.

Karl's departure went unnoticed amid the intensity within the meteorite belt. A small mountain-sized peak hovered above Severin, emanating sky and soil energy that pounded against the surrounding space.

After witnessing Severin's imposing stature and majestic aura, Blake gasped as a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. He then yelled, 'Are you sure you wish to oppose our family?"

Severin smiled in response, 'This isn't about opposing your family. I simply have my sights set on this place." Based on the indications from the treasure map that he acquired from Ulva, a rich deposit of metal Uru was present there. Metal Uru was a crucial component for crafting superior-quality spiritual treasures, and Severin refused to relinquish the opportunity that easily. Even if he did not have much use for the metal Uru, he could at least craft them into weapons for Diane and his wives.

As Blake gazed upon Severin's determination, anger kindled within him as his face turned ashen. The thought of Severin's formidable strength and the menacing presence of the Sky-Soil Zenith left him with no choice but to lament how the situation turned out.

Blake seemed to be in control of the situation, as there was a level four paragon at his side. Furthermore, Severin's attainment was only that of a level three paragon, and even the possession of an elite-quality spiritual treasure did not make it a walk in the park to go up against two people. That being said, Blake recognized that engaging in a three-way struggle was detrimental to his party.

He wanted to gain some of the metal Uru within the meteorite belt, so he cupped his hands at Severin and proposed a diplomatic solution. "There are many meteorites here, and an ideal resolution to our hostility will be to call a truce and divide the amount based on our strengths."

Severin shook his head resolutely. "No."

He could not accept the idea of relinquishing the potential treasure trove to someone else, especially not when Blake was already in bad shape. Blake, despite being a level four paragon, would be mistaken to think that he could defeat Severin.

After all, Severin owed much of his success to transcending levels much higher than his. Having an elite-quality spiritual treasure as well as a body that was stronger than a dragon meant that not even Zeb and Blake could defeat him if they joined hands.

When Blake's offer was met with a staunch refusal from Severin, Zeb berated, "You're out of line!"

He unleashed a burst of anger as he prepared to attack Severin.

However, Blake was already succumbing to the aftermath of using his bloodline power, and a rush of blood had reached his throat. His aura then plummeted from level six to level five paragon.

"Young Master!" Zeb exclaimed at the sight.

Blake glared resentfully at Severin. "Fine. We'll leave!"
