Chapter 778

“But what if Ashton ultimately wins?” Robert asked in a low voice. “If that happens, do you really think you’re keeping custody of Celia?”

Roxy hesitated for a moment, then replied firmly, “That won’t happen. He’s just a human, not a god. I trust my judgment.” Almost instantly, an overwhelming killing intent surged forth again.

Flint’s oppressive aura intensified. With a flick of his hand, spears of light formed in midair, each one gleaming with a cold edge. They descended in a devastating barrage meant to end Ashton’s life.

More than a dozen of them–each carrying the killing force of a pinnacle of the semi–divine realm–drove straight into the human–shaped crater where Ashton lay.

“Quick! Get out of the way!” someone screamed in terror.

But no one moved.

The spears of light descended in a devastating barrage, driving into the arena with crushing force. The ground fractured under the chain of explosions as the human–shaped crater collapsed further into the earth, buried beneath relentless pressure.

At that instant, the last fragile trace of Ashton’s aura disappeared completely.

“It’s over. Ashton… He’s probably dead.”

Someone collapsed to the floor, face drained of color.

“I can’t feel his aura anymore. The Sage’s attacks are always swift, accurate, and ruthless. There’s no way he would have left Ashton a way out. This time, Ashton picked the wrong opponent.”

“My beloved husband… Is he really gone?”

The crowd looked stricken, as if something irreplaceable had just been taken from them. A cold dread swept through them, and no one was ready to accept what had just happened.

Laughter suddenly broke out from another side.

“I told you. There aren’t miracles everywhere you look. Ashton was already running on fumes. How was he ever supposed to beat the Sage? The Sage is the undisputed ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury.

“As for Ashton, he’s just a nobody. From now on, everyone will only remember that he died at the Sage’s hands. He’s a complete failure.”

“That’s right. Ashton’s dead and done. We’re the ones walking away with everything. That’s how the world works.”

“This is perfect. With him dead, I’m going to make a fortune. Javonbury stays in the hands of people like us. Those upstart factions thinking they could shake things up were fooling themselves.”

“No! Mr. Gray isn’t dead. His aura just flared up again, and it’s stronger than before.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out, sharp with uncontrollable excitement.

Representatives from every faction snapped their attention toward the life–or–death arena, eyes widening as they stared into the human–shaped crater. They could feel a terrifying aura rising from within, like a fire roaring back to life.

“What’s going on?”

“Did he just grow stronger again? How is he still alive? What kind of monster is he?”

On the arena floor, Ashton’s aura surged skyward. Cold black flames coiled around him, radiating a killing intent that chilled the

air.

Flint’s expression gradually twisted into a snarl of disbelief and fury.

From within the human–shaped crater, Ashton’s figure began to rise slowly. He hovered amid the dark blaze, lightning winding around his body in violent arcs.
