"Does she think this is enough to stop me?"
"Think again," David roared. In an instant, his surroundings was filled with wild purple thunder, pushing the blades away.
But just as he was about to move, his face fell. The space around him seemed to be contracting, preventing him from moving forward. If that wasn't enough, his speed had been significantly reduced—not just his, but even of the purple lightning crackling around him.
However, the pause was only momentary, as everything returned to normal in the next moment.
That single moment was enough for Ruby; the thousands of swords had already closed in on David.
Just as David was about to summon the AllHeaven Canvas to defend himself, the swords suddenly flickered out of existence.
"You win!" Ruby's tired voice suddenly sounded from the front.
Her plump bosom heaved up and down as she breathed deeply.
"The consumption of the Greater Law is too much," Ruby thought with a dark expression.
A single activation had caused the gray mana sea inside her spiritual space to completely dry up.
On the sidelines, Mary and Sebastian's jaws nearly hit the ground.
Their eyes were filled with shock and amazement as they looked at Ruby.
Just now, they had clearly felt the aura of the Greater Law of Time and Space, one of the hardest laws to grasp.
And not just that—they had felt the aura of multiple Greater Laws.
"Hehehe! I won," David said with a plain expression and started walking toward Sebastian and the others.
Although he had won, he didn't feel happy at all.
He didn't want closely contested battles; David wanted utter domination. If he couldn't even defeat someone ranked third on the rankings, how was he going to defeat the top-ranked person?
The battle with Ruby was an eye-opener; he wasn't as powerful as he thought.
Ruby also silently followed David, her face pale.
"Here, take this, Mrs. Ruby. It will help with recovery," Sebastian said, throwing a pill in Ruby's direction.
Ruby caught the pill with her dainty hand without saying anything and popped it into her mouth.
David also sat on the ground, grabbed a yellow flower, and looked at it with a lost expression.
At that moment, Borrito jumped down from Mary's heavenly bosom and rushed towards David with an excited smile on his face.
"Wow! Father, you fought so bravely!"
"Can you teach me that lightning technique?"
In no time, he climbed atop David's shoulder and asked with a burning gaze in his eyes.
David nodded while petting Borrito's small head.
Afterward, he quickly surveyed his surroundings. Thankfully, they were in a secluded spot; otherwise, their fight would have attracted numerous gazes.
Now it was time for serious questions.
"Anyway, Sebastian, how did you end up in this situation?" David asked while swinging the flowers from side to side like a child.
David wasn't expecting Sebastian to answer him, and he wasn't even interested in listening. He just wanted to know if they were aware of the fact that he had received them as a reward for completing banks mission.
Hearing David's question, not just Sebastian, but the faces of the girls also darkened.
It was something none of them wanted to remember.
But they also understood why David was asking. It was better to create a common understanding for seamless cooperation.
Although differences had not yet emerged, that didn't mean they wouldn't in the future.
If David wanted, he could forcibly control them, but that wasn't something either of the party wanted.
He wasn't worried about the trio rebelling against him, but David was more concerned about cooperation among the three of them.
They were all cultivators with grand ambitions. Although he couldn't say anything about the girls, David could easily tell that Sebastian's heart was filled with lofty ambitions to overturn the heavens.
He could feel it whenever he looked into Sebastian's eyes.
"Ah! Let me explain."
Before Sebastian could open his mouth, Mary took the lead.
"I won't go into the details, but we sold our cultivation for a second chance at life..."
Mary spoke while looking at the sky with a not so good expression on her face.
It was only after half an hour that her explanation came to an end. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"And now we are your familiars," Mary said, her words tinged with relief.
Sebastian nodded in agreement.
After her explanation, David understood most of the situation.
From her words, he could tell that these three weren't aware of the Bank's involvement in their summoning process.
David was also reassured that there could be no conflict among the familiars.
However, what caught David's attention was the cultivator who gave them a second chance.
"The Myriad Faces Sentinel."
A mysterious being who gave second chances to cultivators in exchange for their cultivation.
Truly a mysterious being.
But another question arose: According to the Bank's remark, Sebastian's cultivation was vanished by a supreme expert. So how did he get a second chance?
After thinking for a moment Dvaid shook his head.
Well, it didn't matter in the end. Sebastian would never be able to go against him in the future.
You might ask why they even needed a second chance?
I was a question that didn't have a definate answer.
Now that David had a rough idea of their situation, he felt at ease.
Just as David was pondering his eyes narrowed, he suddenly received a pure influx of mana from a white thread attached to him.
The mana this time was immense, causing his Spiritual Space to grow once again.
"That girl broke through again," David muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.
Without a doubt, Emily had broken through to the Golden Core Realm.
David hurriedly summoned his status report to see by how much his Spiritual Space had grown.
