"You're dead meat, you weakling!" Elder Osbert snarled, evidently livid. Then, he turned towards the three women from the mermaid race.
"You! You are all bitches! You colluded with the enemy and turned your back against us. You are the black sheep of the mermaid race. I will eliminate you three for the sake of your own people," he cursed madly, as his eyes burned with anger.
He had broken all the illusions that were hampering him. He immediately came to Elijah's side and helped him snap out of the hallucinations.
Elijah was his nephew. Naturally, he would do anything in his power to keep him safe.
Elder Osbert kept his nephew in a safe place. Then, with lightning speed, he bolted towards Austin and launched an attack.
Austin had pissed him long enough. It was payback time.
He formed a giant palm with the color of the finest white jade. It came rushing in Austin's direction, creating a mighty gush of wind that destroyed everything in its path.
The immense amount of energy the massive hand released came rushing towards Austin.
If he were faced with this potent strike in the outside world, Austin would have chosen to flee.
He was still inside the maze.
Austin gathered plenty of the illusions and created immense vortexes, keeping the giant hand from damaging him.
There was a powerful collision between the two dominant forces. For just a split second, everything stopped—it was a stalemate.
"Take that piece of shit down, uncle!" Elijah coaxed in the distance.
His eyes were fixed on Austin, resentful and aggrieved.
"Hey! Since you are so eager to have me dead, I'll make you meet your creator first,"
Austin sneered as he cast a glance at Elijah.
Heavily concentrating on his mind, he summoned a dozen vortexes made from illusion.
They encapsulated Elijah and attacked him at the same time.
Elijah's eyes widened in surprise. He was so frightened that his knees buckled. "Ahh! Uncle, help!"
he screamed in horror.
Austin was oblivious to his terrified screams. He opened his mouth, and a purple sword flew out.
Whoosh!
The Flying Swordsmanship was a combination of swordsmanship and spiritual soul attack.
His spiritual soul was now better and stronger.
Hence, the power of the Flying Swordsmanship he had unleashed had also improved significantly.
The incoming sword caught Elijah off guard. It moved incredibly fast!
Hence, he didn't have enough time to dodge it. He felt like he was caught in a trance because everything happened too fast.
Soon enough, the purple sword reached Elijah.
It broke him into pieces. Just like that, he was dead.
"Damn it!
How dare you murder my nephew?
I will not spare you!"
Elder Osbert went berserk. This was the last straw of all the bullshit he went through with Austin.
"Ha-ha! What can you do to me?
Next time we cross paths, I will take your life too."
With that, he activated the Reincarnation Token and disappeared into thin air.
Elder Osbert couldn't perceive Austin with his spiritual sense. His system was still filled with rage. Therefore, he decided to vent his anger on the three mermaids.
"You three bitches have committed heinous crimes. Come here and accept the punishment," he madly screamed, glaring at the women with almost bloodshot eyes.
"Elder Osbert, killing them would come across badly to Elmer,"
a master from the Heaven Beast Valley whispered to his ear.
Elmer was a famous master in the Heaven Beast Valley.
"Humph! There is nothing to fear.
We are in the Land of Outlaw! Terminating them should not be a big deal.
As long as we keep it to ourselves, Elmer will never know what we did to them," Elder Osbert slowly said as he glanced at the people of the Heaven Beast Valley.
His gaze hinted that whatever happened in the Land of Outlaw should be left here.
The crowd understood him. The other masters answered him, "Rest assured, Elder Osbert. We will not tell anything to others."
They looked at each other and gave a respectful bow towards the elder to let him know that they had a tacit agreement.
Elder Osbert knew that they would keep silent no matter what happened. After all, they were his trusted subordinates. He was confident they would never defy him.
"You conspired with the outsider and got my nephew killed. You deserve to die!
I won't let you off hook today!"
Elder Osbert gnashed his teeth as his face twisted in anger.
He watched his nephew die right before his eyes. It happened too fast that he couldn't do anything about it.
It felt terrible.
Since the murderer was nowhere to be found, he took it out on the mermaids instead.
"How could you be so selfish, Austin? You abandoned us and ran away."
Sally was overtaken by despair. She looked helplessly at the furious elder in front of them.
Elder Osbert was too powerful for the three of them to handle. She closed her eyes, ready for the worst.
Just as she was about to resign herself to her terrible fate, a voice resounded in her Soul Sea.
"Hey, do you need my help?"
the voice asked.
Sally was so excited that she trembled slightly.
