450 Apparently, He Thinks He's Not Dying Fast Enough
Garen was trembling with rage. What nonsense was this old man spouting?
Claiming their grudge was irreconcilable?
He hadn't done anything!
It wasn't him who broke Eric's arm. Yet, Eric was publicly slandering him, accusing him of having an illicit affair with William...
What kind of affair could there be between two n?
This bastard was utterly spouting nonsense!
Garen felt his temper, which was usually under control, nearing its breaking point. Ultimately, he couldn't restrain himself and thrust his sword towards Eric.
His Excalibur was broken, and the weapon in his hand now was a wooden sword. But even a wooden sword in his hands was sothing Eric couldn't block.
To the onlookers, it seed as if Garen hadn't moved, just a blur flashed by. In reality, Garen's sword was already at Eric's throat.
Hiss—
Was this the power of a legendary warrior?
For Zoey, Eric represented an overwhelming force, but wasn't Garen similarly an overpowering presence for Eric?
Among the Quasi-Deity level Soulmancers, Garen was a top-tier warrior.
What significance did Eric hold in his presence?
With a wooden sword, he could slay him a thousand tis over!
Eric, fully aware of the vast gap in their strengths, gave up resisting and sneered, "What's the matter? Are you so enraged that you want to silence by killing? Now that your shaful affairs with William are known to the world, even if you kill , can you slaughter the entire Soulmancer realm?"
Eric burst into what seed like a mad, derisive laughter.
This statent left all the surrounding students dumbfounded, and their gazes towards William and Garen shifted.
Evelyn's expression beca even more complex.
William likes n?
Garen, trembling with rage, knew that killing Eric would be no difficult task for him. But what about this rumor?
If he killed Eric now, wouldn't it be seen as silencing a witness?
While Garen hesitated, a cold glint flashed in William's eyes.
Turned to ash!
Rumors?
Did William care about such things?
So words, once spoken, have to be accounted for.
Garen, still holding his sword, watched in disbelief as Eric disintegrated into particles of light and faded away.
He sneaked a glance at William, having never seen him make a move.
Was this William's true strength?
The students on site were utterly silent.
From their perspective, it was Garen who killed the man. They too hadn't seen how Garen executed the strike.
But a Quasi-Deity level legendary warrior is not sothing they could comprehend.
Garen, realizing what had happened, took a sharp breath and said coldly, "From now on, if I hear anyone spreading rumors, this will be their fate!"
He also quickly understood a principle.
Rumors either stop with the wise or end with absolute force.
Elliot stood there, utterly clueless about what to do next.
Eric was one of the vice presidents of their Echoes of Eternity Guild, and their strongest mber was only at the Quasi-Deity level.
Garen had killed Eric without even blinking. Who in their Guild could avenge him?
He considered himself a genius, possessing extraordinary talent.
But he was only at the Demi-God level!
According to the old rules of the Soulmancer world, soone like Garen, who had already slain their vice president, would definitely not spare him.
The more talented he was, the more imperative it was to nip him in the bud.
The seeds of hatred had been sown, and there was no reason to let him go.
Would they keep him around, waiting for him to grow strong enough to seek revenge against the Erald Lion Guild?
Garen's gaze swept over Elliot, who suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
"I know I was wrong! Please spare my life!"
Garen couldn't understand why Elliot kneeled just because he killed Eric.
Was he out of his mind?
As Garen raised his eyebrows, Elliot's heart trembled within him.
Was this a sign that Garen was about to kill him?
Terrified, Elliot hurriedly began to kowtow to Garen, shattering the bluestones in front of him. Where was his earlier arrogance now?
Tears and snot mingled together as he trembled and pleaded, "Guild Master Garen, please let go. I swear, from now on, if I encounter mbers of the Erald Lion Guild, I'll leave imdiately and never oppose the Erald Lion Guild."
"What are you doing?" Garen was bewildered by Elliot's actions, feeling as if he was being portrayed as a bully, intent on killing to cover up a cri.
Although Elliot could be considered a prodigy, Garen hadn't thought that deeply about it.
A prodigy?
Wasn't everyone a genius in their youth?
He hadn't thought about Elliot as complexly as Elliot imagined.
Just then, a rainbow light flashed across the sky, and Astraeus and Ares flew in, hovering above. Upon seeing William standing below, they quickly descended to the ground.
"Pantheon Guild's Elder guild leader, and Ares, what brings you here?" Garen sheathed his wooden sword and looked at Astraeus and Ares.
Seeing Ares and Astraeus, Elliot also excitedly exclaid, "Mr. Ares, do you rember ? I'm Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild! When you were little, I even held you... No!"
Terrified, Elliot beca incoherent mid-sentence, slapped himself, and then said to Ares, "When I was little, you held , do you rember?"
Ares glanced at him and just nodded slightly, his attention already on William.
anwhile, Astraeus, hearing this, stared intently at Elliot and asked again, "You are Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild?"
Overjoyed, Elliot responded, "Elder guild leader, I am indeed Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild."
He had just heard Garen addressing Astraeus as "Elder guild leader."
In the Pantheon Guild, besides Astraeus, known as the strongest in the world, who else would Garen address as "Elder guild leader"?
After a mont of contemplation, Astraeus said, "I was just looking for you! Co with !"
Wasn't one of the people William asked him to kill Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild?
Committing murder in front of so many people would not be good for the Pantheon Guild's reputation, so it was better to take him away first, dispose of him sowhere discreet, and then bury him on the spot.
"Respected old president, please stand up for our Echoes of Eternity Guild!" Elliot thought Astraeus saw potential in him and wanted to take him as a disciple. With the world's strongest person as his protector, what would he have to fear from Garen?
Garen? A legendary warrior, right?
Let's see how you die!
Frowning, Astraeus asked, "what?"
Wiping his forehead, Elliot glanced at Garen, then pointed at William and said, "Garen and that William have an unusually close relationship, even beyond the scope of ordinary friendship. When our guild's vice president, Eric, revealed this, Garen killed him in a fit of anger to silence him. You must seek justice for us!"
Astraeus followed Elliot's pointing finger, looking over, and fell silent.
Does this young man think he's not dying fast enough?
An unusually close relationship, beyond ordinary friendship? And you dare to slander William with such words?
Apparently, He Thinks He's Not Dying Fast Enough!
