At that moment, the other Burke practitioners who were busy engaging Callie in combat were stunned to witness Gerry's instantaneous demise. After a momentary shock, the ten or so members immediately had reddened eyes as thunderous roars erupted from their mouths.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master"
Gerry's sudden death instilled a newfound wariness among them, and they hesitated to continue cornering Callie. Despite their numerical advantage, Severin's strength seemed to deter them from approaching.
At the same time, Callie was displaying signs of fatigue after bearing the brunt of their assault. Her aura was a faltering, and she seemed rather pitiful. Endured an onslaught from a dozen similar-level practitioners was no easy feat.
Just as Callie was starting to struggle, she sensed Severin dealing with Gerry almost too quickly. Callie's eyes widened, and her mouth was agape as disbelief etched across her face.
Callie gasped in awe, realizing that Severin had eliminated a level five paragon who hailed from the Burkes with almost a minimum of effort. His previous quick victories against Hector and two others had already sparked doubts in Callie's mind about the vast disparity between their strength. Gerry's demise only rekindled those doubts, and she wondered if the gap between those individuals was truly that immense.
Gerry, as the Burkes young master and a level five paragon, was considered to be above average among the prodigies in the Starry Sky Battlespace. However, in regions like Southsky where the four major sects held less sway than in other parts of Bleurealm, individuals like Callie and Severin, who had reached level three paragons, were regarded as geniuses. By contrast, their strength appeared relatively feeble in Midland or Eastplain.
