Apotheosis

Studying the Champion Fish whose size was exceedingly bigger than before, all the disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace lost their ability to speak.

Never having encountered such a situation, they stood with their feet rooted to the ground.

"I'll go kill him!"

Milo blurted out abruptly, breaking the deathlike silence.

Even though everyone knew they were caught in a trap carefully designed by the Bearing race and the Divine Farmer race, the fact that Milo had blindly facilitated their plan could not be denied.

The overwhelming pressure and guilt weighing down on his shoulders kept him silent from the beginning. He only had one thing on his mind, and it was to kill those Champion Fish to redeem himself.

Witnessing Seamus act more and more rashly, Milo could not just stand by and watch anymore.

Seamus was the source of all problems. He was obviously the one who was controlling the altars and the Champion Fish like some puppeteer.

Apart from destroying the altars and breaking the wall to escape, killing Seamus could be an alternative way. However, it would still pose a challenge due to him being guarded by several layers of Champion Fish.

"Don't be impulsive, Milo! You'll jeopardize everything!"

"Seamus must have taken all necessary preventive measures against us today!"

"……"

Konnor and the others tried to calm him down by reasoning with him.

But it was to no avail. Milo shook off all their pleas as he clenched his fists, a cold aura beginning to emit from his Soul of Light.

Even though Milo was arrogant, he was still a levelheaded person. Ever since he went up the mountain, not once did he lose his cool over anything. But now, it seemed Seamus had stepped over his last nerve and driven him off the edge of sanity.

Swish!

Milo's figure flashed at the speed of light as they all watched him charge towards Seamus without any hint of hesitation.

"No! Milo, stop!"

"He's heading to his death! Somebody stop him!"

"Who can get him back?"

The disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace erupted in frustration as they all screamed in unison.

No matter how strong Milo was, there was no way he could survive the besiege laid by the countless Champion Fish.

Whoosh!

Someone else was seen heading in the same direction as Milo from the crowd.

While the person rushed forward, he left a series of purple flames behind from his steps!

"Efrain?"

"Efrain! What are you doing?"

Judging from his speed and determination, it did not seem like he went on a rescue mission to get Milo back. But, he was going to assist Milo in his attempt to kill

logical plan spiraling in his mind now was to retreat!

Phew!

However, he could never escape in time as Milo's speed far surpassed his. Soon, the distance between them had closed significantly.

Zen, Efrain, and the other two warriors quickly rushed over to watch the scene more closely. A glimmer of hope flashed through their hearts. 'Can he really do it? Can Milo kill Seamus and end it once and for all?' they started to wonder to themselves.

"Mind Sword!"

Milo roared in aggravation as he unleashed a sharper aura than before. An invisible Mind Sword began to take its form in front of him.

As the sword was about to kill Seamus, the ground beneath Milo's feet cracked open.

Bang!

A vine full of sharp teeth extended from the open ground and wrapped itself around Milo, restraining him!

Meanwhile, Seamus, who was retreating, stopped in his tracks and began to laugh viciously. "Surprised? Don't forget, I didn't come here alone!"

This trap was carefully planned. It was a joint work from the elite disciples of the Bearing race and Divine Farmer race. Seamus' job was only to control the Champion Fish.

"In remembrance to your bravery, I'll grant you a quick and painless death!" Seamus gloated while waving his hands gently once more.

Upon his command, the huge Champion Fish gathered from all directions and charged at Milo with an intent to kill. In the blink of an eye, Milo was surrounded with no place to retreat.

"No! Milo!"

"No way! Milo!"

"Somebody, please go save him!"

The expressions of Efrain, Zen, and the others switched immensely. If he fell into the mouth of these Champion Fish, his Soul of Light would be devoured within a split second. Milo might not be able to survive this.
