Thea wanted to help James fight, but she could not defeat even one of the patriarchs present with her current strength, let alone
Xezal.
After some time, James’ injuries had recovered.
“Thea, is the Ursas’ founder still alive?”
James turned to Thea beside him.
Xezal’s words made him worried.
Thea shook her head lightly and said, “I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of the Ursa’s founder before.”
James’ brows furrowed at her response.
Xezal was a rather serious person and must have been telling the truth.
James pondered, ‘Could the Ursa’s founder really still be alive? Is he a Caelum Acmean by any chance?’
Meanwhile, Xezal had returned to the group of powerhouses.
Gaerel quickly approached her, clasped his hands, and said,” Thanks for saving me, Xezal. If you didn’t step in, I would’ve been
severely injured or might have even lost my life.”
Xezal responded, “James’ formation will not be easy to deal with. I’ve forcefully entered the Caelum Acme Rank but still can’t
break it. We don’t have much time left. If we continue to drag this on, Soren will be freed. Then, James will
definitely use his formation to go on a killing spree. Many of us will die at his hands. I managed to block his attack this time, but
there’s no saying I’ll be able to next time.”
“Then what should we do?”
“What are our options? Are we just going to wait for our deaths?”
“James is too scheming. Who would’ve thought he was impersonating Wyot and planning for this day to come? His goal is to use
the formation to kill us.”
“How despicable of the humans. They don’t dare to fight us fair and square. All they can do is hide and plot against us in secret.”
Many of the powerhouses gritted their teeth in anger.
They were not afraid to fight James fairly.
Xezal said, “We can only try negotiating with him and let him leave with Soren.”
“Never.” The powerhouses immediately turned down the suggestion.
“We can’t let them leave.”
“Even if we perish, we can’t let Soren leave this place. If he regains his strength, he’ll take revenge against the Greater Realm’s
various races. No one will be able to stand against him.”
Everyone present had a blood feud with the Human Race.
It would be disastrous for their respective races if they were to let Soren escape.
“I agree.”
“Let’s attack together. I’m sure we’ll be able to break the formation.”
Xezal looked at the powerhouses and said, “To be honest, James’ formation isn’t that strong. But it’s a very ancient formation,
which I know little about. If I have some time, I can break it eventually. However, we’re in a race against time right now. If Soren
is freed, James will have nothing to worry about and won’t go easy on us. Just killing one of us will be enough for him. With his
strength and the formation, I’m afraid...”
She paused and glanced at the powerhouses present.
“Apart from those at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank, everyone else here will die.”
Gaerel said, “Let me repeat myself. I’d rather all of us die in battle than let them escape.”
“I agree. Xaezel, you’re one of the strongest in the Greater Realms. I’m sure you must’ve been holding back just now. You should
go all out.”
The powerhouses looked at Xezal.
Hearing their conversation, James said solemnly, “They are determined to kill us, even if it means sacrificing their lives. If that’s
the case, I won’t hold back anymore.”
James immediately activated the formation, and a powerful force emerged from it, attacking the group of powerhouses.
The area where they were gathered was instantly shattered.
However, Xezal had blocked the attack. Meanwhile, the other powerhouses had also urged all their strength to defend
themselves.
Although James used the formation’s power, he did not kill any of them.
