“Why not?” Godric let out a miserable laugh. “Do you think your father was a good person? He forcefully separated us and left you, a woman, in charge of Bloodbane Palace!”
“He knew all along that Eustace was my son, yet never mentioned it. He wanted me to watch my son be belittled in Bloodbane Palace and call ‘Father‘. My son is dead, but didn‘t even bat an eye, agreeing to let the murderer walk away!”
It seemed as if Godric had fallen into a state of madness.
“Godric, Jared killed my son, too, but I didn’t take revenge on him. Don’t forget that Jack wasn’t your son,” Dincelius said to Godric.
Yet, unexpectedly, Godric wore a smile of resignation. “You have so many children, while I only had one son. Also, I vowed that I would never pursue another woman. My whole life was supposed to be dedicated to Eustace. But now…”
He suddenly turned to Jared, his gaze becoming fierce. “But you, Jared, killed him! Not only did you take my son’s life, but you also destroyed my goal in life!”
Jared had a look of resignation on his face.
How was I to know this, or the past of Bloodbane Palace?
It seems that becoming an immortal in the celestial realm still wouldn‘t spare one from romantic entanglements or mundane troubles…
Radmus waved his jade fan, a sly smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “What an interesting past. Godric, there won’t be a need to endure such humiliation if you team up with me. Let’s kill Jared first, and I’ll help you seize Bloodbane Palace. By then, you’ll be the overlord of Bloodbane Palace.”
After finished speaking, the elderly men behind simultaneously stepped forward. Their aura exploded, causing the air around them to crackle.
Radmus looked at the livid Dincelius and said, “Dincelius Hoff, I can spare Bloodbane Palace from trouble today. All I plan to do is avenge our dead prodigy and elder. If you insist on protecting Jared, then you’ll be choosing to go against Heavenfall Pavilion, and if that’s the case, I won’t hesitate to kill you as well.”
Before the words had even left his lips, the higher-ups from Heavenfall Pavilion had already spread out in a fan formation.
With a wave of his jade fan, Radmus summoned a series of sharp wind blades, all aimed directly at Jared and Dincelius.
Godric roared, positioning himself next to Radmus, his sword drawn.
A crimson illusory shadow of Bloodbane God rose from the blade, a clear indication of his readiness to fight to the death.
“How dare you!” Dincelius took a forceful step forward, his body erupting with a purple-gold energy that surged like a tidal wave, causing the glass bricks on the ground to crack under the immense pressure.
With a sweep of his sleeve, sent a dragon-shaped surge of energy hurtling toward Radmus, only for it to be effortlessly deflected by with his jade fan.
“Do you think Bloodbane Palace is powerless?” Dincelius snarled.
“Father, don’t push yourself!” Nymeria cried out in desperation. “There are too many of them!”
She knew that the two of them were no match for the group of people from Heavenfall Pavilion, not to mention that Godric had betrayed them and chosen to side with Heavenfall Pavilion.
Radmus sneered. “Dincelius, you were in solitary training for years. Bloodbane Palace isn’t the same as it was back then. I’ll show you who’s the real ruler of level two today!”
The elderly men behind struck in unison, weaving various colored energy beams into a net, which they then cast down toward Dincelius and Jared.
Godric’s sword was aimed directly at Jared’s heart, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. “Your life ends here, Jared!”
Just as the net was about to close in, Dincelius suddenly let out a furious roar that echoed across the sky.
A blinding golden light burst forth from the Bloodbane Pendant on his chest. His purple-golden aura surged at a terrifying speed, and within it, countless Bloodbane Spirits emerged.
“Secret Arts of Bloodbane! Bloodbane Divinity!”
Dincelius brought his hands together, and a massive illusory shadow of Bloodbane Palace materialized behind him. An eerie coldness crept out of the palace as the doors opened slowly.
