The news came as a shock like a bomb exploding in Faizan's head. The sect had spent so much resources, time, and effort to train Gresham but Faizan was now being told the pride of the sect was dead.
Faizan was not alone. The other elders present in the room were shocked too. Each prodigy from their sects had one priority mission which was to kill Severin. If Gresham had died, it could very well meant those who went with him had fought with Severin too.
Leyton decided to step in to console Faizan. "Hey, although this result is not what we expected, our ultimate goal is to kill Severin and that is why we have decided to work together."
Leyton was more than happy to know Gresham was dead because that would mean he could get more essence. However, that happy feeling did not last for long. As soon as he finished consoling Faizan, they could hear people running toward the room.
The disciples from the Darkness Sacred Land, Wicked Tribe, and Dragonoid both dashed into the room with scared and worried faces and reported one by one.
"Sir! I got a bad news!"
"Drake's soul lantern has gone off!"
"The same thing happened to Reggie's soul lantern!"
Leyton, Eesa, and Calvert were shocked at the terrible news. They could not believe what they were hearing. However, they knew the news was brought by their disciples and it was unlikely that their disciples would deceive them. Therefore, the only explanation was the four prodigies from their sect had died.
Eesa smirked angrily while talking with an angry tone. "Grandiuno Sect! I will forever remember that Severin has killed Izaak! Any members of the Grandiuno Sect will be my enemy for eternity!"
Leyton stumbled back a few steps once he accepted Reggie's death. His eyes turned red and he looked glum. The person who killed them must be Severin because only that made sense.
