Ch. 1541..1550

Life After Prison Chapter 1541-“Haha! Who are you? Don’t you know even your Hall Master does not dare to talk so arrogantly at us? So who gives you the right to talk to us in this way?” The Great Elder of the Dragon and Tiger Gang chuckled.

He was a level four emperor warrior and his name was Anton. Once he finished talking, he waved his hand and attacked Severin with a spiritual energy beam.

Severin scoffed. The spiritual energy beam did not bother him at all. He counterattacked by waving his hand to create a spiritual energy beam much larger than his opponent Within the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy beams clashed together and created a loud sound. A second later, the spiritual energy beam from Anton was destroyed easily. Whereas, Severin’s spiritual energy beam continued to charge forward at the Great Elder.

“What happened?” “How is that possible?” Tiger and Dragon were shocked by the result. From Severin’s attack, they could safely assume Severin was at least a level six warrior emperor. Tiger quickly flew over to where the Great Elder was and formed a huge wall with his spiritual energy to stop Severin’s spiritual energy beam Although it worked, he suffered great pressure from the spiritual energy beam. The sweat on his forehead had suggested how terrible he felt just now.

“I understand it now. No wonder you are so cocky. You have hired him to help out,” Tiger said while clenching his fist tight/ Anton stepped forward and had a serious look on his face. “I don’t recall ever seeing him before. It bet he is not from Littleton but another island.” Tiger nodded. They knew every strong fighter on this island especially those who were level four warrior emperors and above.

“Hmph! We have more people than him and we have two level six warrior emperors. There’s nothing that they can scare us! Let’s fight til they die!” Dragon glared angrily and held his fist tightly.

Meanwhile, Severin flipped his hand to take out his sword and input his spiritual energy into the sword.

“I think I need to kill some of the people over your side to minimize the damage done to Sus Hall,” he said, confidently.

“Hehe. Do you seriously think you are able to fight so many of us by yourself?

You’re too full of yourself.” Dragon chuckled.

He gripped his fist tightly and threw a punch out to create a spiritual Dragon.

Tiger did the same too, yelling out his combat technique. “Tiger Crushing Technique!” A humongous tiger appeared and looked so real as if it could defeat anything blocking its way.

“Rose–Petal Rain!” Severin shouted.

The combat technique of his opponent did not affect him at all. After waving his hand, huge rose petals appeared in front of him. Those rose petals flew around.

Everyone was astonished at how pretty they were.

“What a pretty combat technique!” It turned out that Meena and strong fighters from her family were watching the fight from far away. Although they were not participating in the fight, they really wanted to see the fight..

“I can’t imagine how scary it would be if these rose petals had high attack power. I eyeballed and estimated there could roughly be around one hundred petals.”

Life After Prison Chapter 1542-Those rose petals left a huge impression on Deacon.

“What combat technique is this? I can feel the waves in those petals and they are very strong.” Tiger frowned. He waved his hand to control the tiger. As such, the tiger left out a roar and charged forward.

“Go!” Severin waved his hand too Then the rose in a peculiar track toward the petals flew opponent. It looks so slow but the speed was very fast. Within a second, they had reached where the tiger was.

“Charge!” Luke raised his hand and commanded his men. The fight started.

Explosions happened everywhere. The rose petal exploded as it reached its target. After the humongous tiger and dragon were attacked by probably four or five rose petals each, they disappeared into thin air.

“This is impossible! What is his attainment? Why does our attack seem like nothing to him?* Tiger was so scared that his face turned pale. The Tiger Crushing Technique was his favorite and strongest combat technique. He just did not expect to see it being destroyed by Severin’s rose petal so easily.

“His combat technique is not as simple as it looks. Maybe that technique is a Sun–grade technique!

The look on Dragon did not look good either Just then, there were almost forty to fifty rose petals flying toward them. They circled around to surround all the members of the Dragon and Tiger Gang “Damn it, we’re surrounded.” By the time Anton’s attack got destroyed by the rose petals, he thought of escaping but he was too late.

“What should we do? What should we do?” the Second Elder asked with his trembling voice. He had felt so close to death before!

“Oh, my god! The Supreme Leader is so strong! Everyone from the Sus Hall got so excited upon seeing the result. They knew they had won the fight!

Explosions were everywhere again. Dragon, Tiger, and the elders started to fall down from the sky one by one. Their bodies suffered great injuries from the explosion and were already dead when they fell from the sky.

“Die!” Sofia shouted ferociously. She fought like a warrior and killed a level three warrior emperor with just one punch.

“I have no idea Miss Sofia is so strong!” A few elders from the Sus Hall were shocked to witness Sofia’s fight. Although Sheila and Diane were not as strong as Sofia, they kept themselves busy by fighting with people who were around the same level as they were.

“Run!” “We’re screwed! Dragon, Tiger, and the elders are dead!” All of the members of the Dragon and Tiger Gang lost their will to fight further and tried to run for their lives when they knew their gang leaders and the elders were dead.

Life After Prison Chapter 1543-“No! I’m not ready to die!” The members of the Dragon and Tiger Gang started to throw their armor and weapons away. Some of them looked despair.

“Kill every f*cking one of them for how they bullied us in the past!” Luke had transformed into a killing machine. He charged into the crowd and started killing. They had been suppressing their feelings for way too long.

The fight did not last long. It only took twenty minutes until the fight was over.

The Dragon and Tiger Gang never had a chance of victory. None of them survived. Whereas, Sus Hall had nearly two or three hundred injuries but no one died.

“Yes! We won!” “We won!” The members shouted out loud and were full of excitement.

“Alright. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. There’s no rush in celebrating yet,” the Great Elder of the Sus Hall ordered cheerfully.

This was something he did not dream of just a few days ago. In fact, they were worried about how to handle the crisis to avoid being destroyed by the Dragon and Tiger Gang yesterday. Then they had a victory fight and it was the Dragon and Tiger Gang who got destroyed instead “That was fast. They are really very strong.” The Carneys smiled as they overlooked the whole fight.

Many fighters around heard the fighting and also joined to see the fight. All of them were shocked at the result. Especially those who understood the whole situation. When they found out it was a fight between the Dragon and Tiger Gang and the Sus Hall, all of them prayed hard for the Sus Hall because they thought the Sus Hall was going to lose. Yet, the result was way out of their expectation.

The Sus Hall quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected their loot.

On the same night, Ruben’s father, Marco Gregory who was also the head of the Gregory finally realized something was wrong. He called upon the bodyguards who were supposed to “Where is Ruben? Why hasn’t I seen him from yesterday morning?” Marco asked angrily while glaring at the bodyguards.

He was aware of the things Ruben did. However, things were slowly getting out of hand as Ruben had been bullying people more often than ever. Marco started to worry that one day, Ruben might offend someone who dared to kill him so he had been strict with Ruben a few days ago and refrained him from doing bad things again.

However, he had not seen Ruben since yesterday morning. He had a bad feeling something bad.

might have happened.

The bodyguards exchanged looks with each other and frowned vehemently.

Life After Prison Chapter 1544-In fact, those bodyguards were starting to worry too. They knew where and what Ruben was going to do. Theoretically speaking, Ruben should have been back last night. However, he did not. Which meant something must have gone wrong.

Marco was no stupid person. He closely observed the expression on the bodyguards and discovered something, “Julian!” he called upon a bodyguard. Julian quickly headed over but he was so scared that his legs were wobbly. “Sir–sir, Mister Ruben has gone on a holiday.” Marco sneered. “I’m going to give you one more chance to tell me the truth or I’m going to kill you Do you really think I don’t know my own son? When is he ever a fan of going on a holiday? Tell me the truth now!” Julian kneeled on the floor and answered with fear, “Sir, please don’t kill me.

Mister Ruben had gone out together with Mister Maximus. There was a rogue fighter accompanied by three beautiful women. They were flying past the city and Mister Ruben saw them. He had his eyes on those women so he asked us to follow them. Yesterday morning, he had brought some strong fighters with him and Mister Maximus too.” Marco clenched his fist angrily. “F*ck this kid! Why can’t he change? Sooner or later, he’s going to die because of woman!” Obviously, he realized Ruben had gone out to do bad things again. However, he did not reckon his son had died. Based on what Julian said, Ruben was only after some rogue fighters so he did not think it could be that serious.

Ruben’s mother, Roxanne, was there too. “Ruben is still a child. It’s normal that he’s a little naughty. Don’t get angry. When he gets tired of it, he will stop eventually.” Marco glared at her and said, “You’re the reason he’s like this. You have spoilt him!” Roxanne smiled embarrassedly. “There’s nothing I can do about him anymore, is there?” Then she frowned and continued, “They should have been back by now if they left yesterday morning. So where could he be now?” Julian answered, “Ma’am, those three women are really very stunning. They are more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in Tosland. Maybe Mister Ruben wants to spend more days with “That could be it. They are really very beautiful. Maybe Mister Ruben is worried that you and Mister Marco found out about it but he could not resist the temptation. I think he’s going to be back tomorrow,” another bodyguard chipped in his opinion He even gulped secretly as he remembered how beautiful Diane, Sheila, and Sofia were “Alright. We just want to know where he is. That’s all that matters. Roxanne did not think it could be a problem and let the bodyguards leave.

However, Marco did not think the same way. “I’m just a little worried something might have happened to them and that’s why they are not back yet.” “It’s just a bunch of rogue fighters What is there to worry about? Besides, Maximus is with him. He’s going to make sure your son is safe. Can you stop being suspicious all day long? No one on Draco Heaven Island has the audacity to kill him,” Roxanne said Marco asked, “What if he bumped into some people who do not care? There isn’t any strong fighter with him to protect him. What are you going to do if he gets killed? Even if you can take revenge for him, he’s not going to be alive anymore.”

Life After Prison Chapter 1545-After hearing that, Roxanne felt bad and looked terrible. “Don’t jinx it! Maximus is with him, isn’t he? What are you so afraid of? Don’t worry. He’s going to come back tomorrow.” On the same night of the fight, Luke had gathered Severin, Sofia, Diane, and Sheila to pass the loot to them. Severin was not interested in the combat technique, weapons, or attaintment technique.

He told Luke to give them to the members and only took the spiritual herbs that were suitable for alchemy.

After distributing the loot, everyone was in a high mood and wanted to celebrate the victory.

The next day, Severin gathered Luke and the elders, These are third–grade low–rank alchemical pills. They should help you guys to increase your attainment. Take them. He passed the alchemical pills over.

“These are really third–grade alchemical pills! Supreme leader, why do you have so many valuable alchemical pills?” The Great Elder looked at the alchemical pill and gulped. Never in his wildest dream that he would one day be given one. He had remained as a level five warrior emperor for a long time. With that alchemical pill, he had no problem leveling up.

Sheila smiled. “Don’t worry. Severin is a third–grade medium–rank alchemist.

So it’s not a problem for him to have these alchemical pills. All he needs are the spiritual herbs and he could transform them into alchemical pills.” Everyone was excited to hear that because they had never heard anyone was able to become a third–grade medium–rank alchemist before. Yet, they had seen one with their own eyes now and the person was their Supreme Leader.

Just then, Severin asked, “Mister Luke, what’s your plan?” Luke answered, “We’re going to go into the city first. When we moved out here, there were still a lot of businesses that we had not settled. Especially after we have defeated the Dragon and Tiger Gang. There is no time to take over their businesses so I plan to sell it at a cheap price.” Severin nodded. “That’s what I think of too. Hurry up and settle them so you can move to South Link City with us.” They continued with their discussion. When it was finished, Severin, Diane, Sofia, and Sheila flew back to Littleton. He was afraid the Gregory would disturb the Carneys because they killed Ruben.

Thus, he planned to stay with the Carneys for the next few days When Deacon knew Ruben was killed by Severin, he could not help and worried. It was not until Severin showed up that he knew he had nothing to worry about.

During the afternoon, Marco could not wait any longer. He gathered the elders.

“My son hasn’t been back for days. I’m worried about him. Based on what Julian said, the rogue fighters are staying with the Carneys. Ruben had gone there to look for them so I want to go over to the Carneys now and ask them where Ruben is. If they dare to hide the truth, I will destroy the Carneys!” Marco said angrily.

“Mister Ruben, don’t you think you are worrying too much? I know that Maximus is with Mister Ruben. What can happen to Ruben when Maximus is there to protect him?”

Life After Prison Chapter 1546-Marco voiced his concerns, “I’ve been having a bad feeling lately, and I think it’s best for us to check up on them. They should have returned by yesterday or this morning at the very latest. That they have not returned even though it is already one in the afternoon is cause for concern Roxanne then came in and chimed with a faint smile, “I’ll go too! I’m pretty sure nothing would have happened to Ruben, but I agree with you when you say that it’s a little odd for them not to have returned yet. I’m curious to see just how beautiful the three women are, and how they y were able to captivate our son like that.” “In that case, gather up our family’s strongest warrior emperors The Carneys will be unnerved for sure if our strongest men show up there,” Marco decided after a moment’s thought and nodded Shortly thereafter, Marco, along with his wife Roxanne and a dozen warrior emperors, set off for Littleton. In less than thirty minutes, Marco and his entourage were flying in the skies above the Carneys‘ villa. As he gazed at the villa below, Marco had a cold smile as he called out, “Show yourself, Deacon!” Marco displayed scant regard for the Carneys. Being a level eight warrior emperor, he possessed the strength to single–handedly erase the Carneys‘ existence from Littleton. Furthermore, he had brought along the entire cohort of his family’s formidable warriors for that visit.

Deacon’s temper flared up when he heard Marco’s disrespectful tone, especially since Severin and the others were present too. Deacon flew out with the Carneys‘ st men and promptly positioned themselves in front of Marco. Severin came out too.

“Sir, that man and those three women. They… They’re all at the Carneys!

Doesn’t that mean…” Julian, whom Marco brought along to help identify the people, had already recognized Severin’s group before Marco could say anything. His expression then turned extremely sullen Severin and his three women were all at the Carneys, and the situation seemed to bode ill for Ruben.

“They are exquisitely beautiful. It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that my son is smitten by them!” Marco remarked. He could not help but feel his heart race as he imagined how challenging it would be for anyone to resist such allure. He mused that even he might be seduced by them, let alone his son, who had always been enamored with women.

Deacon came forward and addressed Marco, “You’re in Tosland, and you’re also on the Carneys‘ turf. Please show some politeness when you speak.” Marco scoffed. “Politeness is earned. If your attainment level matched mine, I might consider being polite. As it stands, I see no reason to extend that courtesy.”

Life After Prison Chapter 1547-Marco’s overwhelming intimidation left Deacon seething, but the latter was unable to retort.

Roxanne was unable to restrain herself any longer and implored Deacon, “Where is my son? Where are Maximus and the others?” Deacon replied nonchalantly. I haven’t a clue as to where your son is Why ask me if you can’t locate him? I’m not responsible for him.” Deacon raised his voice intentionally, drawing the attention of onlookers in Littleton who were keen to witness the unfolding drama.

There was frustration etched across Roxanne’s face as she gritted her teeth.

“Don’t play dumb with me. My son… My son…” She felt it challenging to discuss her son’s actions, especially in public.

Severin had a subtle smile as he came forward and said, “What seems to be the issue with your son, madam? Why do you seek the Carneys when your son is missing? We’ve never met him before.

“Impossible!” Marco clenched his fist and locked eyes with Severin. He shot back angrily, “You killed him, didn’t you? Tell me the truth! I did not hear anything from him after he came to look for you and your three women. I’ll make you die an agonizing death if you don’t set the record straight!” Severin abandoned any pretense of deception and responded bluntly, “Ah, so your son was coveting my women. It’s unfortunate that he wasn’t strong enough. I killed him and his associates.

“You… You killed him?” Marco’s face turned crimson as he stared intently at Severin.

“Unbelievable! Who is that kid? How audacious could he be to have killed Ruben?” “Man, his women are so beautiful. I’m not surprised that Ruben had the hots for them. But that guy is on a whole other level of bravery to kill Ruben. It’s as good as a death sentence.” “Hehe, he’ll be dead for sure. He’s with the Carneys, so he must have a very good relationship with them. It’s sad that Carneys‘ will be implicated in this even though they were innocent.” “As if being reckless isn’t bad enough, I get the feeling that he’s a little stupid.

The Gregories might not have discovered who the culprit was if he didn’t confess. Now that they’ve found out, it would be a miracle if they decided not to kill him.” A crowd began to gather, and some even took to the skies for a better view.

Littleton’s upper–class families, as well as Sus Hall’s strongest, had all come to witness the episode. Most spectators were not very optimistic about Severin’s chances and expected him to die. However, those from Sus Hall were confident, sporting smiles as they displayed unwavering faith in their hall master and his wives.

Severin chuckled and asked, “Yes, I did. I can’t lie to you, right? Your name is Marco, right? Well, I killed your son because he provoked me and tried to hit on my women. I suggest you reconsider your position and retreat if you have any common sense. You’ll be joining your son in the afterworld if you want to seek vengeance for him.” “You son–of–a–b*tch! How dare you make such threats after killing my son? I’ll have you flayed and sliced into pieces after I’m done with you,” Roxanne declared, her fury unchecked. Her son’s culpability had no bearing on her doting on him, and her emotions erupted upon learning of his death. She clenched her fists, and an overpowering aura soon enveloped them.

“Take this!” Roxanne’s eyes turned bloodshot as she thrust both fists forward.

Two enormous spiritual energy geese appeared, darting swiftly toward Severin.

“Be careful, Severin. This woman wields considerable power. She’s a level seven warrior emperor,” Deacon cautioned, observing the incoming attack with growing concern. His face darkened with worry as he voiced a warning.

Life After Prison Chapter 1548-“No need to worry,” Severin responded with a chuckle. He faced the incoming attack without at hint of apprehension and simply clenched his fist to unleash a punch.

“Stonebreaker Fist!” An enormous fist materialized before him as he called out the technique’s name.

His attack exuded a terrifying aura and surged directly ahead with a resounding rush of wind.

“The momentum is formidable! Is that the true Stonebreaker Fist, the most basic soil–grade lowrank combat technique?” Sever proclamation of his technique left many observers in disbelief. After all, it was widely regarded as the most rudimentary combat technique, one typically practiced at lower attainment levels. Most practitioners generally eschewed such techniques when they reached higher levels.

However, Severin’s Stonebreaker Fist exhibited overwhelming power and momentum, leading spectators to question if it was indeed the same technique.

“It is indeed the Stonebreaker Fist, but the fact that he could employ it with such might suggests to me that his attainment level greatly surpasses that of Roxanne,” a gray– haired elderly man mused as he stroked his beard.

The two spiritual energy geese were swiftly obliterated by the much larger fist.

“That’s impossible! My combat technique is a high–rank Sky–grade technique!

How could it crumble under his Stonebreaker Fist?” Roxanne voiced her disbelief as she watched in shock. She could not fathom a scenario in which her combat technique would be bested by the Stonebreaker Fist.

“Honey! Look out!” Marco called out.

As Roxanne remained in her stupor, the residual energy in Severin’s Stonebreaker Fist surged toward her in the blink of an eye and loomed directly before her.

“No!” Roxanne snapped back to reality too little, too late. Though the Stonebreaker Fist was not at full force, it struck her firmly and propelled her backward.

A muffled thud resonated throughout the air as Roxanne was sent flying.

Several hundred meters later, she crashed heavily onto the ground Disbelief filled Roxanne’s eyes, and blood spewed from her mouth.

“Honey!” Marco cried out in anguish as he flew down. He crouched beside Roxanne and clutched her hands tightly.

“Are you alright?” Marco’s eyes welled with tears. Roxanne held a special place in his heart among his ten wives.

“1…” Roxanne attempted to speak, but whatever remaining embers of life departed from her body as she succumbed to her injuries.

Life After Prison Chapter 1549-“Honey!” After realizing that Roxanne was dead, Marco’s eyes were filled with a menacing and bloodshot rage. He glanced up and unleashed a guttural scream.

In a flash, he ascended into the air and bellowed, “Kill him! Attack him all at once!” One of the elders was a little apprehensive. He questioned Marco, “Sir, his… It won’t do us any good to mess with someone of his attainment. He’s so strong that even the most basic of techniques are powerful beyond compare. Don’t you think his attainment might be stronger than yours?” “There’s nothing to be afraid of! We won’t know until we give it a try! Our strength lies in our numbers! Marco retorted, already consumed by wrath. He clenched his fists and channeled his spiritual energy into them Severin sneered when he observed their persistent defiance. Eager to conclude the battle, he unsheathed a sword and infused it with spiritual energy. The sword emitted a piercing cry as it vibrated faintly, sending involuntary shivers down each onlooker’s spine.

“Attack him without holding back! I’ll kill anyone who attempts to escape!” Marco resolved to give his all against Severin.

Even with their combined combat techniques, Severin’s Rose Petal Rain brought down many of the Gregories‘ members. They plummeted from the sky one by one as they breathed their last.

“Who is this person? His strength is overwhelming!” “It is, indeed Over a dozen formidable warrior emperors were all dealt with so effortlessly. Let’s not forget that there are some level five and level six warrior emperors, with Marco being the strongest of them all at level eight warrior emperor.” “Didn’t you hear? The Dragon and Tiger Gang disappeared overnight because of him!” There was a buzz of conversation among the onlookers. Many of them had begun gazing upon Severin with fear.

“Your strength is amazing, and your combat skills are incredible too.” Deacon took the opportunity to engage Severin in conversation.

“Hehe, you’re being too kind,” Severin responded with a chuckle. Sheila had already descended to retrieve the spatial rings from the fallen men.

Deep down, Deacon felt delighted. Given that the event happened in full view of many, the news would soon spread across the entire island. Other aristocratic families in Littleton would soon hear of his association with such a formidable individual that would effectively place his family in a much more influential position within Littleton and even across the entire island. Few would dare to provoke him.

After some contemplation, Meena instructed the Carneys‘ bodyguards. “Why are you just standing there? Hurry and clean up the battlefield for Mister Severin. Dump these bodies in the sea for the fish to feed on.” “Understood!” The Carneys‘ bodyguards promptly seized the opportunity to curry favor with Severin After slaying the Gregories‘ most formidable individuals, any lucky survivor would be frightened into fleeing. Severin could no longer be bothered with them anymore. The crowd dispersed while Severin and his companions went to the Gregories‘ place to view their spoils. While they may not have slain a lot of members, the ones they did kill were all–powerful, granting them a bountiful harvest of spiritual herbs. There were several hundred such herbs, with nearly a hundred being fourth–grade spiritual herbs. Severin was especially pleased by that.

Life After Prison Chapter 1550-“I’ve accumulated a significant number of spiritual herbs in the past month.

Once I have some free time, I’ll focus on refining more pills to assist our comrades within Dracodeus Temple. It would be good to boost their progress within our limited time frame,” Severin contemplated as he used his mental energy to assess the spiritual herbs within the spatial ring.

At night, Severin remained industrious and dedicated himself to pill refinement.

More specifically, he utilized second–grade high–rank and third–grade low–rank spiritual herbs to create a substantial quantity of pills.

The following morning. Sheila, Diane, and the others eagerly sought out Severin.

“Hehe, can you guess why we’re here, honey?‘ Diane inquired playfully, Severin saw how well–dressed they were and could not help himself from smiling. “Of course. You’ve all been wanting to explore the nearby islands, right?

Let’s go, then! I’ll do some sightseeing with all of you during the day and spend my nights focusing on alchemy.” “Thank you, honey! You’re the best,” Sheila said. She went forward and immediately held Severin’s arm.

Severin smiled and said, “How about we head downstairs for some breakfast before we set off on our island–hopping tour? It’s a good opportunity for me to relieve some stress too.” During the subsequent three days, Severin continued his nightly alchemical pursuits while enjoying daytime island excursions with his lovely women. Three days later, Luke and his associates from Sus Hall successfully disposed of their property. However, the property was primarily exchanged for various spiritual herbs, as ordinary currency held little importance to them.

“We’ve finally completed everything, sir! Our apologies for the delay,” Luke said as he raised a toast to Severin.

Severin smiled and responded, “Not to worry. We haven’t just been sitting around doing nothing either. We took the chance to explore some beautiful scenery. Your men fly a little too slow, and I’m worried you might have encountered some potential danger along the way. It was important for us to wait for your arrival before departing.” “When should we make a move, then? There will be more than four thousand of us traveling, and Before Severin could say anything. Sheila told them, “Larry has already made the necessary arrangements for your convenience. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to move right into your new place.” “That’s fantastic,” the elder exclaimed with delight. The following morning, Severin and his entourage embarked on their journey.

Once outside the city. Severin waved his hand and took out his flying sword. It grew in size rapidly, eventually accommodating several thousand people before taking to the skies.

“This is amazing! What sort of spiritual weapon is this, and how could it grow to such an enormous size?” Many observers were taken aback by the sight. Though they had seen flying swords that could increase in size, witnessing one expand to this extent was a first for them. It was undoubtedly a mark of the sword’s exceptional quality.
