Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2926

"Curses! What is taking the Grandiuno Sacred Land so long?!" The Alaric seethed with anger and frustration, while his emotions tinged with an inexplicable fear.

Cuthbert had been sent over from the Grandiuno Sacred Land a day ago but had to retreat after being bested by the corpse puppet. In order to stay alive, Abner and Alaric defended against the puppet, but their battle stretched across a day and a night without any signs of progress.

Instead, their spiritual energy reserves were dwindling dangerously low, hence their mounting apprehension. The corpse puppet had spent over half a month relentlessly slaughtering practitioners and civilians in Eastplain, which led to an increase in its intelligence and power.

The puppet grinned menacingly. "You are both very resilient. Your deaths are the perfect offerings for the flag!"

No sooner had it spoken than the corpse puppet materialized before Abner. Clouded in a dense, dark green, poisonous mist, the puppet had virtually teleported across vast expanses of the terrain. Red flickers bearing the rule of destruction appeared in its palm, adding to its chilling aura.

As it raised its hand to strike Abner, a cold voice pierced through the air, "I'm surprised that even puppets can be impulsive!"

The puppet's expression soured, and it glanced upward to see the person behind the voice.

Moments later, Severin descended upon the Golden Balance Bridge that was formed by the space-time path. His arrival resembled a banished immortal gracing the mortal realm, and his figure refracted sunlight like glazed glass. Each step he took left behind blooming lotuses.

The grievously wounded Abner glanced at Severin in shock. "It's you!"

He remembered that Severin was still a level-nine supreme paragon during their previous encounter at the Grandiuno Sacred Land. Only half a month yet passed since then, yet Severin had already made a breakthrough to half-immortality.

Following the initial surprise, Abner warned Severin, "I appreciate your help, but you need to flee right now! This creature is fierce. Even your fifth elder was no match for it."
