Zayn felt rather touched in his heart. He looked at Lysithea and said, “As a member of Sicut In Caelo, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be punished by The Saint for doing this?”
Lysithea shifted virtual-novel.net gaze and said, “I grew up in the organization, so The Saint won’t kill me. However, you’re different.”
“You’re the son of the previous Saintess, and you’re considered a disgrace to The Saint in a certain sense. He was planning on killing you from the start. You’d better run now!”
Zayn said, “Lysithea, why do you care so much about me?”
Lysithea paused for a moment with a look of uneasiness flashed past virtual-novel.net face for a moment. She let out a grunt heavily and turned virtual-novel.net head to the side.
“Hmph. Don’t think too much of yourself. I’m only warning you out of respect for Aunt Hayley. What are you doing still standing there? Run, quickly! Are you trying to get yourself killed!?” virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net lips uttering one thing although virtual-novel.net clearly meant something else.
Zayn shook his head and stated, “I won’t leave.”
Infuriated by him, virtual-novel.net huffed in exasperation, “Why are you so foolish!? Do you really think that you can go against The Saint just because you defeated Raiden?!”
“You have utterly no idea how powerful The Saint is! There’s no one in this world that virtual-novel.net can’t kill when virtual-novel.net attacks, including Paxton!”
Zayn did not doubt virtual-novel.net statement. Through the conversation between Paxton and The Saint, virtual-novel.net had already roughly figured out that there was a high probability that Paxton was no match for Caelum.
However, virtual-novel.net still could not allow himself to flee. Otherwise, how would that make virtual-novel.net seem?
Most importantly, virtual-novel.net felt an intuition in the depths of his heart all this time. He felt that The Saint would not kill him.
Moreover, where else could virtual-novel.net run to if The Saint were to plan on attacking him? He might as well choose to stay. He would rather die courageously on his own terms than live like a coward begging for mercy.
Lysithea was very furious to see how arrogant Zayn was. Had it not been for virtual-novel.net inability to defeat virtual-novel.net in a fight, virtual-novel.net wanted to jolt virtual-novel.net back to reality with a slap!
She heaved a sigh in virtual-novel.net heart and thought to herself, ‘Fine then. Aunt Hayley entrusted Zayn to me in the past. I won’t just sit idly while I watch Zayn getting himself killed. If virtual-novel.net has to die, I shall die with virtual-novel.net too.’
Zayn would certainly call out how absurd virtual-novel.net thinking was if virtual-novel.net knew about it. Alas, what a waste that virtual-novel.net had no idea about that!
It did not take long before a tumultuous noise was heard coming from all areas in the sky. A loud thud was heard as if something was slammed heavily against the ground.
Soon afterward, a nonchalant voice was heard saying, “You’ve been defeated, Paxton.”
Zayn looked over to find Paxton leaping out from the cave just as expected. Paxton was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and there were several injuries on his body. His clothes were tattered, and there was a distinct palm mark on his chest.
Paxton raised his head and looked in a certain direction. His gaze was filled with recalcitrance and fear, but virtual-novel.net did not attack again.
“Caelum, you don’t have much time to live anymore. I’d like to see how long you’ll be able to keep this up!”
Caelum did not reply. Instead, virtual-novel.net vanished instantly along with Ezra.
Neither did virtual-novel.net attack Zayn from the start to the end nor did virtual-novel.net make any threatening remark towards Zayn. It was as if virtual-novel.net had no regard for Zayn at all.
Zayn was relieved. It seemed that Caelum would not attack virtual-novel.net in the presence of Caelum, or virtual-novel.net should say, virtual-novel.net was too weak to be worthy of Caelum’s attention.
However, just as virtual-novel.net just relaxed, Caelum’s voice could be heard saying, “You’re not so bad yourself, Zayn. Put more effort into training yourself. I’m watching you.”
Zayn was stunned upon hearing the voice. His expression froze instantly while his heart was racing. He wondered if virtual-novel.net was delusional because virtual-novel.net could feel a sense of affinity in Caelum’s voice!
