Worldly Overlord - Chapter 103

This attack was going to be like others, though Devon’s sword energy disintegration technique was said to be the strongest it couldn’t create as much damage as the sword descendant technique.

Not to mention, the attack Devon launched was the combined forces of both the sword descendant and the sword energy disintegration.

One could only imagine what sort of destruction it would cause, as just the sword energy disintegration and sword descendant were already powerful on their own.

Now the two extraordinary techniques were joined to create an attack like no other.

The attack was then powered by the true energy of the world, the primordial chaos energy.

Devon really intended to end everything with this strike. Most especially, he wanted to kill Melissa. There was no doubt that if the attack should successfully hit Melissa, she was going to die instantly.

It was already certain, in front of this attack, it could be said that none of her body parts would be spared.

Melissa took a step back against the incoming soon-to-be-formed myriads of the sword. And like she did the last, Melissa sent out a punch.

The only difference in her punch was that, unlike last time which used only a quarter of her true power, this time around it seemed like she went all out.

Melissa’s intention was obvious, she wanted to either kill or bedridden Devon with this attack of hers, and with the power her fist contained, Melissa believed one of the two was going to happen.

Both Melissa and Devon intended to end everything in this battle.

Even if Devon didn’t attack with his full strength, Melissa would have still attacked him with all the strength she had.

As she should rather prefer him dying at her hands than going to the ominous land to look for the blood essence of saint beasts.

Melissa felt, since he was about to throw his life away, it was better for her to kill him than a beast killing him.

At least, when he dies in her hand, he’s going to get a proper burial, unlike when the killing was done by the beasts.

A myriad of swords in the air and an extraordinary fist were about to collide with one another.

The air in the surrounding had become stiff, while space and time seemed to have stopped. There was no doubt that in of life was going to be destroyed before this attack.

……..

However, before the damage to the two attacks could be delivered, an old man came out of nowhere and interfered in the fight.

The old man didn’t have to wave his hand before the two attacks were canceled, as just his presence was already enough.

Devon’s mouth curved into a bone-chilling smile as he saw this old man.

Looking at the old man, the first impression one would get from him was that he was a beggar.

If it was in a crowd and someone calls the old man a mad man, the crowd would believe he or her words, as the old man completely looked like one. The clothes he was wearing were all tattered, and he staggered like a drunkard as he walked.

However, the way he canceled the attack that came from Melissa and Devon was beyond logic. Even with the state he was in, he had canceled the strike effortlessly.

The old man staggered forward till he stood in between both Melissa and Devon. Even when he was standing in their midst, he drank from the wine guord which was on his hand.

“Sigh… Families should only spar and never have the intention of killing each other.” The old man said as he stared at Melissa and Devon.

Though he seemed to be scolding them, there was a wide smile on his face as he saw Devon. His eyes were glowing as if a perverted old man had seen a woman naked.

Devon had a disgusted look on his face as he saw the old man, he was very familiar with the old man. However, the way they had all ended things with Devon was terrible.

This old man could say to be the fourth-strongest expert in the Melissa family. Devon couldn’t forget this man, as besides being his grandfather, the old man also played a part in Luna’s death.

Devon smirked, as he stared at Melissa. He sent both of his swords back to where they came from and disappeared away from where he was.

The two had already expected Devon to disappear, as there was nothing he could do anymore.

“Grandpa why did you interfere,” Melissa yelled at the old man.

A chuckle escaped on the old man’s face lips, Instead of answering Melissa’s question, he gulped down the wine guord that was in his hand once again.

And when he was done four short words came out of his mouth, “You would have died.” the old man said.

After saying those words, the old man didn’t bother with Melissa anymore as he lay down on the ground.

With his eyes already closed, he placed the wine guard on his chest. The wine guard was the old man most prized possession, as he had his both hand wrapped around it.

Melissa ran toward the old man and crouched down, “That’s not possible grandpa, I’m stronger than Devon.” Melissa said.

“You can fool him but not me, even though you’re stronger than him, you had still only used a quarter of your power and nothing else.”

Melissa couldn’t help but tremble from the old man’s words.

“Next time you mustn’t do such a thing, or else even I won’t be able to save you from that kid.”

The old man was still on the ground as he spoke to Melissa. His hand which was wrapped around the wine guord had become tighter.

“Child, what happened to Luna wasn’t your fault, remember the whole family played a role in what happened to her.” The old man still didn’t open his eyes as he spoke to Melissa.

Tears began dripping out of Melissa’s eyes, if it was in any other situation, then she would have refuted the old man’s words, but in this case, everything he had said was true.

Melissa screamed out loud, “Grandpa, why don’t we tell him the truth.” the more Melissa tried wiping the tears off her face, the more there came oozing out of her eyes.

“Even if we do, it won’t change anything. Don’t forget, we also supported Clifford in doing what he did.” the old man said.

He then sighed deeply, though his eyes were closed, the realm he had attained made him able to see the whole world even as his eyes were closed, “I just didn’t expect that kid to grow this quickly.”

“The hate he has for you has reached a terrifying point that I’m thinking of killing him to avoid any future problems that he might cause.”

Melissa was shocked at the words her grandfather had just said, she didn’t doubt her grandfather’s words as he was the most honest person she knew in her life.

The old man was as blunt and honest as any person could be, he rarely beat around the bush and always went straight to the point, regardless of how the person might feel.

“Melissa, I didn’t kill him just now because of you, but this time I’m going to send you back to the clan.”

“I won’t be returning till I’m doing with my business over here. ” The old man waved his hand at Melissa.

Before Melissa could even react, she had already disappeared. There wasn’t any trace of her in the inn of life anymore, even her room in the inn was already empty.

“A single move would have resulted in your demise, Lucien. Even if it means destroying the partnership between us, I would have killed you if you had touched my brother.” A figure walked out as soon as Melissa left.

The figure was that of a woman with a striking resemblance to Devon.

This woman was wearing black, skin-tight robes which revealed her amazing curves. Her body had practically reached the pinnacle of perfection. Her long white hair fell naturally to her waist.

That beautiful face of hers was like a flawless jade, but that jade contained endless iciness.

Staring at this woman, the most unforgettable thing about her was those pairs of green eyes. Those eyes were attractive enough to steal a person’s soul.

However, at the moment, those beautiful eyes were chilling to the peak as an endless amount of killing intent poured out of them.

It was already scary enough that a woman wearing an all-black attire

If Devon was here, he recognizes this woman as his elder sister and the princess of the Reid family, Elyse Reid.

The old man smirked, “This old man apologizes for his rude behavior earlier.” despite his attitude, the old man apologized.

It makes one wonder what sort of power Elyse must have that could make someone like as prideful as the old man apologize.
