”Saint Magus Melsdom, do you mean that everyone who didn’t come out... is dead?” Archbishop Doberman asked, his voice trembling.

”Well, what do you think?” Melsdom sighed once again and said slowly, ”Initially, we thought we were all going to die. You have no idea... Schumacher somehow... broke through to the legendary Level of the Holy Domain!”

”The Holy Domain! You’re saying Schumacher...?!” Archbishop Doberman’s face fell as he gasped in horror.

”Yes, him! If even he could mysteriously become a Holy Domain powerhouse, you can imagine how terrifying that monster was. And yet, even that monster was ultimately killed by Chen Fei. So tell me, what does your Church amount to in front of Mr. Chen?” Melsdom’s voice was laced with sarcasm by the end of his speech.

”Hmph!” After the mockery, Melsdom let out a cold snort. ”That’s why I said Hales was courting death! A waste like him... what right did he have to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of Mr. Chen?”

”I... I see... so that’s how it was...” Archbishop Doberman felt a chill seep into his heart once more. He trembled all over, never having anticipated this would be the truth.

That was the legendary Invincible Saint Realm! Even within their Church, there were no such terrifyingly powerful beings. But now? A man who had just broken through to the Realm of the Holy Domain, Schumacher, and another monster even more powerful than him... were both killed by that Easterner, Mr. Chen!?

Suddenly, Archbishop Doberman’s back was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body shook, and his gaze trembled with terror as he recalled his earlier behavior.

Schumacher, a Holy Domain expert, and that even more terrifying monster were killed by him. What did that make Archbishop Doberman, a mere SSS-level individual? Nothing! The gravity of the situation became clear without Melsdom needing to say another word. Someone like him was truly nothing in that man’s eyes! If he hadn’t composed himself just now and had acted rashly, wouldn’t he be dead already? For such a terrifyingly powerful existence, crushing him would be as simple as squashing an ant, wouldn’t it?

”Thank... thank you, Saint Magus Melsdom... If it’s possible, could you please put in a good word for me? I... I truly didn’t know...” he said, his voice laced with panic. Clearly, he feared Chen Fei would seek retribution later.

”Good words?” Melsdom shook his head decisively. ”Archbishop Doberman, it seems you still don’t grasp the situation. Honestly, the fact that Mr. Chen let you walk away means he couldn’t be bothered with you. Otherwise, do you think you would have left here unharmed? As for putting in a good word... I’m sorry, but I’m not that bold.”

This was Melsdom! For even him to say he didn’t dare speak up showed just how terrifyingly powerful he believed Chen Fei to be!

So, even though Archbishop Doberman had already understood that Chen Fei’s identity was extraordinary and even frightening, hearing such shocking words from Melsdom himself still made him shudder. A cold sweat broke out uncontrollably. He finally understood what terrifying trouble that imbecile Hales had stirred up. He truly deserved to die!

Then, recalling another part of Melsdom’s speech, his expression changed dramatically once more. ”Saint Magus Melsdom, how do you plan to handle this matter?”

One didn’t need to think twice to know that with so many dead—all of them high-ranking members of major powers in the Western Dark World—this disaster would inevitably shake the world! As the orchestrators of this conspiracy and trap, the Brad Family would be thrust into the eye of the storm, possibly facing a calamitous fate. The major powers who were deceived would surely be furious enough to demand their utter destruction, tearing everything to pieces. For the Western Dark World, this would be a cataclysmic earthquake, a massive storm!

”How to handle it? What other way is there? Haven’t you already guessed? At least a dozen people died in there. The powers behind them will definitely not let the Brad Family off. As for us... we survived thanks to Mr. Chen, but who among us isn’t seething with anger? Either way, the Brad Family has no more reason to exist...”

Melsdom’s tone was indifferent, but his words were filled with a chilling, murderous intent. If they hadn’t been lucky enough to encounter Mr. Chen, they’d all be dead by now. How could he not hate the Brad Family for setting this trap? His final words were no joke. The Brad Family truly had no reason to exist anymore.

Archbishop Doberman trembled at his words, the light in his eyes flickering as he shook his head. Never mind all the major powers acting together; Melsdom alone was more than capable of completely annihilating the Brad Family. After all, a Peak Powerhouse of Holy Magister was no laughing matter.

「…」

Meanwhile, after Melsdom and Archbishop Doberman left the castle’s underground, the atmosphere grew tense.

All the powerhouses from the various factions who had just escaped the Sealing Land were now staring daggers at the members of the Brad Family. The air was frigid, their auras oppressive. A tangible killing intent burned, ready to be unleashed.

This, of course, caused Old Brad, Duke Ovilia, and the others to freeze, their expressions a mixture of shock, confusion, and panic. Clearly, they had no idea why these powerful experts were suddenly directing such murderous intent toward them.

”Pre-President Mardo, Mr. Kaide, wh-what is this? Mr. Chen...” Old Brad’s face was a mask of terror, his voice trembling as he spoke. He even cast a pleading glance at Chen Fei.

He truly had no idea what was happening. Why had the experts from the major powers suddenly turned on them with such killing intent? Also, hadn’t many more people entered the Sealing Land? Why had less than half of them come out? Where were the others? Where was their Brad Family’s great Lord Prince? Where were the three elders, all at the peak Grand Duke level? Where had they gone? Why weren’t they here?
