Chapter 62 A Last-Second Escape!

Seeing Leon who was step by step getting closer to them with a sword in his hand, Evelyn's face turned desperate."Leon, don't be misled by your brother!"

"Look clearly at his hideous appearance, he is using some evil and forbidden magic, such things are condemned and despised by everyone.

We must let other people know about it so that someone strong can take action to stop him while he is yet to stabilize strength. Such heinous people can't be allowed to exist." Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing her, Leon felt like he was looking at a fool.

"Are you stupid? Of course, I will choose my brother's side!"

"The situation here can't be leaked outside as it is still too soon for us to face public's hate and anger!"

"Never mind all these details...both of you sisters won't live to see another day."

Evelyn gritted her teeth and she still tried to make one last-effort to persuade him.

"Leon, tell me!"

"All these years as I stayed by your side, I did everything you asked me to do!"

"I was always obedient so why do I have to suffer?"

She roared in her sad and unwilling tone,

"Why must I die today?"

"Didn't you realize yet?"

"You were just a tool person for mewhom I just kept by my side to get all my dirty jobs done!"

"The status of you is no better than a slave girl in my eyes. I am destined to be a great person who would meet countless beauties in the future, How can a stupid girl like you move my heart?" - Leon sneered at her.

Evelyn's heart was telling her that all of this was a dream and she just needed to wait before getting up and all the bad things would disappear but her mind made her realise the reality, the tension and turbulence in emotions can't be faked!

By this time Eve, who was lying in her sister's arms slightly opened her eyes, her sister's constant sweat dripping upon her head as well as Evelyn's constant shouting was enough to force her awake.

With her slightly opened eyes she witnessed everything.

Seeing the laughing faces of both Leon and David there was deep resentment in her heart.

Evelyn looked down and saw Eve's slightly parted eyes. She tenderly caressed her cheeks,

"Don't worry we won't fall here today!"

Seeing Leon who was only eight feet away from them, she knew she had to make a decision.

She once again looked at her sister,

"Eve, call it me being selfish but what's the point of sacrificing your life for a person when you didn't even officially enter into a relationship with him?"

There was a fighting spirit burning in her eyes,

"Leon, David, do you think you can do whatever you want?"

Under the mocking eyes of everyone, she hurriedly pulled out the pendant she was wearing.

Seeing her actions the old man's aura rapidly climbed-up alerting all of them.

"Presumptuous, don't you dare!"

Evelyn still had a trump card.

Initially, she thought that they may end up fighting David or may face a life-threatening situation on their way.

Therefore, before the start of their journey, she went home and wore the pendant she had kept in her room's drawer.

This pendant was given to her by her mother when she was still small before her mother died shortly after due to some strange illness. It was made up of brittle material and it had only one functionthat was to help in escape!

Ignoring the old man's angry shout, Evelyn crushed the pendant with all her strength.

The space around them suddenly became unstable as various spatial ripples covered them.

David hurriedly shouted,

"Leon kill them fast, they are about to run away!"

Leon was helpless, he tried his best to close the distance but his speed was not enough!

Their bodies became translucent as Evelyn knew they were about to be teleported out, they just needed two more seconds.

She could already see her running away with her sister.

But things were not as lucky as she thought!

"Hmmph, dare to run away in front of me?"

"Let me show you my true strength!"

The old man's aura erupted like a volcano as he lifted his hand and a powerful beam of light filled with mysterious oppression descended toward them.

Just at the last moment before the sisters could teleport out, the old man's attack managed to land a small hit upon Evelyn.

She blurted some blood out but she still clenched her teeth tightly as she held on.

Finally, the next second they completely disappeared from their original space.

As soon as they teleported out, Leon's sword slashed through empty air.

"Ughhhh! Just needed a fraction of a second more and they would have been beheaded by my slash!" -Leon exclaimed with some grumpiness.

"Don't worry they wouldn't have escaped far as my attack managed to hit them."

"They must be severely injured and could hardly move around."

"We would catch them in no time!"- the old man tried to reassure them.

Suddenly, David felt his blood-cells tearing down inside his body, he lost his balance as he fell down.

The pain was unbearable.

He tried to get up but his muscles twitched as he felt discomfort all over his body.

Black-viscous fluid started oozing out from his skin as he realised the grimness of the situation.

"Leon, Grandpa!"

"Hurry, help me!"-David yelled at the top of his lungs.

His change was quickly noticed by the old man as he rushed to check his situation.

Leon too hurriedly came over, "What happened? Why is he in so much pain all of a sudden?"

The old man checked David's pulse and his face finally became serious,

"It's not good."

"He absorbed too much energy in one go."

"His body is already at the limit and can't withstand so much pressure."

"When you keep pouring water in a glass, it eventually starts overflowing, David's situation is almost similar."

"His body can't take it anymore and may burst any moment."

"This is too bad even if we help him, his strength would be fixed and won't be able to increase in future!"

"He forcefully tried to absorb some energy that is not allowed by the world."
