The moment the lake recovered its calm, a wave suddenly curled up. Like an arrow, it flew in Fabian's direction, seeming to split the lake in half.
When he saw the attack, Fabian jumped into the air. The boat beneath his legs was instantaneously shattered into pieces.
Even though he had evaded the attack, the same couldn't be said of the subordinates behind him. After they were thrown overboard by the large wave, their limbs were severed from their bodies, as if they had gone through a grinder.
The moment the poisonous creatures smelled blood, they swarmed the bodies that fell into the lake and devoured them.
As for the remaining members of the Crescent Sect, they fled to the shore after witnessing the gruesome sight.
“You truly are something. No wonder the four elders have betrayed me,” Fabian sneered in mid-air as his body gradually landed on the surface of the water, where he stood still.
If Liam hadn't informed Jared of the stone columns in the water, Jared would've assumed that Fabian was so powerful that he could actually walk on water.
As Jared's body descended at the same time, he landed on a piece of floating wood. Even though he was capable of standing on water, it would consume a significant amount of spiritual energy just to sustain himself. Now that the lake was littered with pieces of broken wood, Jared could save a lot of energy by using them as support.
Giving Fabian a look of disdain, Jared declared, "I'm surprised you're unashamed of accusing others of betrayal after doing the same. You're nothing but a joke.”
Fabian was briefly shaken before he broke into a wide smirk. “I didn't expect you to have met Dante. Nonetheless, you shouldn't believe everything he says. After all, he is an equally crafty man. Do you really think that he founded the Crescent Sect for a noble purpose? He's just relying on his ability to read someone's face to go around cheating others! Considering how young and powerful you are, why don't you join me? I can definitely elevate your strength to the next level. It's certainly more attractive than helping Dante. After all, he is just using you.”
