My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1965

"Don't mention it. I already promised the sect master that I'd help no matter what," Nash replied.

Clint lowered his head, whispering his thanks.

"Stop being so formal with me. Let's get started," Nash replied.

Wasting no time, Zaafea approached the sect master of the Endless Horizon Sect and placed a palm on him. Instantly, the sect master was released from his petrified state. At the same time, Deluca woke up.

An ear-piercing scream cut through the space. Zaafea dragged the sect master to the side before quickly forming seals with his hands and slamming them to the ground. Suddenly, black energy enveloped the entire forbidden ground.

"Battling in this enclosed space will help you adapt faster. Good luck, both of you."

"Aren't you going to join us?" Clint asked.

"Ah, well... I have to maintain the barrier, you see. Yes, that's it. Ah, I feel so weak. I'm only strong enough to maintain the barrier," Zaafea said, his poor acting leaving both Clint and Nash speechless.

"You—"

Before Clint could finish, Deluca suddenly appeared in front of them. His eyes glowed red as he punched the ground, causing it to shatter. The two quickly dodged to avoid the attack.

"Realm Technique! Time Stop!" Clint yelled and then stomped on the ground.

A gigantic clock appeared within the barrier, freezing Deluca in place.

"Now!" As Nash yelled, he flashed in front of Deluca and delivered a powerful Eight Extremes Crumbling Fist.
