Chapter 469 Sebas Vs Jet And Lux [Pt 2]

The tension in the air was palpable.

As Sebas—the man who had just kicked Jet several meters away with speed that transcended what the human eyes could keep up with—stood before Lux, partner of the dark gentleman, everyone was silent and watched.

Sebas was undoubtedly stronger than most Adventurers, and even now, he was incredibly strong. However, just by hearing the murmurs among the group within the white barrier, it was easy to see what the people thought.

"W-was he always that strong? He beat Jet just like that!"

"Don't be stupid! Sir Jet has been fighting and protecting us all this time. Of course, he's going to be exhausted."

"Yeah! If he was at full power, he'd never lose!"

"A-ahh..."

"What day did you join?"

"Day 4."

"No wonder. I've been here since Day 2, but I know people who were with him from Day 1. The man is a beast, and he takes no rest!"

"F-for real?!"

"Yeah! The other side must have a lot more Master and Veteran Rank Adventurers, and less members too. It must not have been as burdensome as it was with us..."

"And Sir Jet carried most of that burden..."

This was what the audience thought as they looked at the fight between Sebas and Jet.

And so, the moment they witnessed the latter's partner step up, they nearly went insane due to the tension alone.

She even spoke, and while it sounded mesmerizingly feminine, the threatening tone she used caused everyone to shiver.

Her "... you're dead" carried a lot of weight that it hardly felt like a bluff.

Lux didn't have a lot of offensive feats, but her defensive and restrictive attacks were second to none. She seemed like the perfect counter for Sebas' tyrannical assault. New novel chapters are published on

"Go get him, Lady Lux!"

"Show him who's boss!"

"S-someone should really go check on Sir Jet..."

A few eyes turned to the man who stood among the rubble. He still seemed dazed, so the exhaustion had to be catching up to him.

Noah felt his heart ache as he heard that. He understood this man's ideals, and he truly wished he was more useful at this moment.

But even if he added himself to the mix, he would only hold Jet back.

"Right now, I'm releasing the seal that I placed on myself all those years ago." More steam proceeded out of Jet's lips as he finally regained a proper posture.

"S-seal? Why did you seal your power in the first place? If you release all of it now, what will happen to you?"

Jet chuckled sadly and looked at Noah with a distant gaze. "You're a smart kid."

The moment Noah heard that, he knew what was coming.

'If it came at no steep cost, he wouldn't have kept it sealed. If he uses that kind of power now... he'll most likely die!'

More pain seared through the boy's chest, but he endured.

"They must be under some kind of illusion or delusion. I believe I can snap him, and everyone else out of this."

Even now, Jet only thought about others. He held his blade, risking his entire life in the process, just to save everyone.

How could such a man be labeled as vile a being as a Dragon?

"I'll leave the protection of everyone to you." Jet said with a resolute smile, taking a step forward.

"Can I count on you?"

As Noah gazed upon Jet, watching as the older man turned his head back just to ask him those final words with a smile on his face, he felt beads of tears slowly ooze out.

"Y-yeah! You can count on me!"

Upon hearing that, Jet nodded slowly and tightened his grip on the Chaos Blade.

"Thank you."
