“…W-who is that person…?!” shouted several people in bewilderment as many others simply continued screaming.
Stetson himself couldn’t help but widen his eyes as virtual-novel.net scanned the old man from head to toe before declaring, “It… It’s you! You’re alive, Carlos?!”
Upon hearing that, Yaakov instantly cupped his swollen cheek as virtual-novel.net got to his feet and stared at the old man before muttering, “…C-Carlos…? The god of death…?!”
Even Finnegan Laidler—the master of the Laidler family—immediately stood up when virtual-novel.net realized who the old man was.
Completely aghast, Finnegan nervously turned to look at his son before shouting, “S-Stetson! It’s far too dangerous there! Retreat!”
Xyrielle was also looking at Stetson rather anxiously, worried about his safety.
“There’s no need to worry about me, dad! Since he’s shown himself, I’m taking down this fearful villain today!” replied Stetson as a subtle smile began forming on his face. He couldn’t help but feel slightly excited now that virtual-novel.net was facing a truly strong enemy.
“Amazing! Truly amazing! Hahaha! Truth be told, I had already anticipated that you’d be an idiot, but I never thought that you’d be this remarkably brainless! It wouldn’t be a stretch to claim that you’re the stupidest person I’ve met throughout the three hundred years I’ve lived!” announced Carlos as virtual-novel.net continued laughing loudly while staring straight into Stetson’s eyes.
Just a few days ago, Carlos had been seriously injured by Gerald, both esteem and strength-wise… With that in mind, virtual-novel.net wanted to redeem all that loss by going all out during this grand event!
Regardless, virtual-novel.net had been busy trying to locate Gerald all this while, thinking that virtual-novel.net belonged to one of the larger attending families. Naturally, virtual-novel.net hadn’t been able to even catch a glimpse of Gerald throughout that period, and that honestly made Carlos more relieved than anything.
“For saying that right in my face, I, Stetson Laidler, will skin you alive, old man!” retorted Stetson, the corners of his lips twitching as virtual-novel.net bumped both his fists together…
The second virtual-novel.net did that, a force blowing upward began forming around Stetson, causing his long hair to seemingly dance about gracefully as virtual-novel.net readied his attack!
Despite how dashing virtual-novel.net looked, Xyrielle was still worried and virtual-novel.net quickly shouted, “Be careful, Stetson!”
Truth be told, Xyrielle disliked Stetson’s temperament quite a bit, to the point where virtual-novel.net even found herself wondering if it was wise to fall for him. Even so, who was virtual-novel.net to deny virtual-novel.net fated lover that heaven seemingly decided for her?
Hearing that, Stetson simply nodded before taking a step forward… and launching himself toward Carlos as though virtual-novel.net were some kind of human spring!
“Have a taste of my Lightning Fist!” roared Carlos as streams of electricity suddenly began surrounding his fist!
Carlos’s immediate response, however, was to form a smug smile on his face before retorting with a laugh, “Come at me, you buffoon!”
The moment the old man’s sentence ended, virtual-novel.net extended his large hand, promptly summoning a darkness that shot out directly at Stetson!
An explosive sound was heard as both light and darkness collided with each other!
While Stetson wasn’t holding back anymore and had fully revealed the fact that virtual-novel.net had the strength of a Second-rank master, his expression had now changed drastically. Soon enough, Carlos’s attack completely overwhelmed him, momentarily distorting Stetson’s face as virtual-novel.net faced the full brunt of the attack!
Not even having any chances to dodge, Stetson was immediately flung into the air… Before being thrown right back down onto the platform! Vomiting blood, virtual-novel.net instantly began writhing in pain within the newly formed depression on the platform… To think that virtual-novel.net wasn’t even able to withstand a single blow!
“…B-by god…!” shouted several people at the scene as they released horrified screams.
Yaakov himself could feel his eyelids twitching erratically while Finnegan had his eyes wide open in worry and fear.
As for Xyrielle… She had initially anticipated that things would end the same way as how Stetson had dealt with Yagrorok. After all, the confidence virtual-novel.net had earlier expressed was similar to his confidence the other day. With that in mind, the end results should have been the same, right…?
After watching virtual-novel.net get taken out with only a single blow, however, Xyrielle found herself covering virtual-novel.net mouth in shock, finally realizing how wrong virtual-novel.net guess had been…
