nSeraphina was also greatly frustrated. She had tried her best to avoid Evelyn and others, but her luck was just terrible. Just as she had finally found the Eternal Vine and was carefully handling its roots, intending to extract it, Evelyn and her group arrived. Seraphina thought of escaping, but how could she possibly get away?

nJust as she bitterly smiled, preparing to fight to the death, William and his group arrived.

nEvelyn’s gaze lingered on William for a moment before she slowly looked away.

n“Let’s go!” Evelyn decisively said.

nShe knew very well that she was no match for William; otherwise, she would have killed him long ago.

n“Leader! That Eternal Vine…” one of the Underworld Warriors expressed reluctance, hinting that Evelyn could contest them for it.

nIn their view, although Steven’s swordsmanship is terrifying, they are also exceptionally strong. With so many elite Underworld Warriorsswarming together, what is there to worry about, what is there to fear?

n“Retreat!” Evelyn turned around resolutely, without any discussion with her subordinates.

nIf it’s just Steven, even if his swordsmanship is excellent, Evelyn and the others can still fight against him.

nBut the one Evelyn truly feared was only William!

nDuring William’s last visit to her office, just the slight aura he emitted made her feel unfathomable depths.

nEven now, with her drastically increased strength, just thinking of the terrifying aura William had released instinctively made her fearful.

nAnd William also said he was Arthur, not just some reincarnation, which was even more thought-provoking.

nEvelyn, with the wisdom of two lives, wouldn’t confront William directly without being absolutely sure of defeating him.

n“Leader, if you’re unwilling to fight for the Eternal Vine for us, then we’ll fight for it ourselves!”

nA young-looking Underworld Warrior signaled to others, deciding to disobey Evelyn’s command.

nEvelyn is not an Underworld Warrior who possesses ordinary humans through soul attachment,of course, she does not need the Eternal Vine.

nLast time, backing down from “Steven” and not avenging the fallen comrades already caused dissatisfaction among some Underworld Warriors. 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮

nNow, concerning their own interests, the Underworld Warriors naturally wouldn’t obey Evelyn’s orders anymore.

n“Yes! We control our own destiny! Leader, if you are scared, we won’t blame you!” Another underworld warrior also spoke up loudly, saying, “We will first snatch back the Eternal Vine, then we will apologize to you later!”

nDisobeying orders?!

nThey were only following Evelyn because she was a direct disciple of Hades.

nFaced with such an opportunity, how could they simply give it up just because Evelyn said to leave?

nThere were thirty-six Underworld Warriors present, all with strength above that of an advanced Soulmancer. If they employed their secret techniques, what would being an advanced Soulmancer level matter?

nEvelyn paused in her steps, squinting at the Underworld Warriors present. She simply said, “Those willing to follow me, come along! I won’t bother with those who don’t.”

nThe Underworld Warriors looked at each other, and in the end, only six remained, along with a group of solitary Soulmancers subdued along the way, following Evelyn.

nThat left thirty Underworld Warriors.

nToday, they intended not only to seize the Eternal Vine but also to avenge the two comrades who had died yesterday.

n“Fat man! Come on! Let’s see your knife skills again!” The first Underworld Warrior to speak waved his hand, and a curved knife appeared, its blade surrounded by swirling black mist, menacingly pointed at Steven.

nSteven was momentarily stunned.

nWhat was going on?

nWhy was he being targeted suddenly?

nIt seemed he hadn’t said anything!

nMost importantly, he hadn’t expressed any desire for the Eternal Vine!

n“Isn’t there some misunderstanding here?” Steven said with a smile, “If you want the Eternal Vine, just take it. There’s no need to resolve this with violence.”

n“Cut the crap!” The young warrior felt Steven was just putting on an act.

nLast night, Steven had killed two of their comrades to protect Seraphina, and now he was playing a role again.

nAfter the young warrior finished speaking, the Underworld Warriors behind him collectively deployed a secret technique, causing the surrounding energy to surge wildly.

nIn just a moment, a gigantic phantom of a demon god appeared behind the thirty Underworld Warriors.

nThe phantom of the demon god towered a hundred meters high, holding a dark, sinister curved knife, exuding a terrifying aura.

nEvelyn hadn’t gone far when she couldn’t help but look back.

nThese Underworld Warriors were hopelessly foolish.

nCreating such a terrifying phantom of a demon god, wouldn’t that provoke a siege from the entire Soulmancer community?

nIt was highly possible that there were Demi-God level powerhouses in this area.

nThis was why she had refrained from letting the Underworld Warriors act yesterday.

nPreserving strength and waiting for the right opportunity was the most prudent strategy.

nThe strength of these Underworld Warriors?has not fully recovered yet. Acting so high-profile could very likely bring about a catastrophic disaster.

nIt was just the Eternal Vine. If it was here, couldn’t it be found elsewhere?

nWhy insist on a deadly confrontation here?

nFrom a distance, Evelyn’s heart raced as she watched William.

nThirty half-gods summoning a demon god through a secret technique.

nWith the demon god’s help, they should be able to fight a Demi-God level powerhouse.

nShe wondered if William could handle it.

nHer feelings were complex at that moment.

nIf William were to die under this phantom of the demon god, would it mean she had truly cut off her emotions?

nYet deep down…

nShe didn’t want him to die!

nBut if even such a powerful phantom of the demon god couldn’t kill William, then how powerful must William be?

nEvelyn’s eyes showed her conflicting emotions. At that moment, she didn’t even know what she was hoping for.

nWas she expecting William to turn the tables and defeat them?

nOr for William to die here…

nShe didn’t know.

nHer mind was in turmoil!

nThe thirty Underworld Warriors summoned a demon god that roared furiously, causing a tumultuous upheaval in the air for twenty miles around. Countless giant trees collapsed thunderously as the demon god’s black giant blade came crashing down.

nThe light in the sky twisted and distorted, as if the blade had the might to sever everything in the world.

nEvelyn’s heart raced to her throat, realizing she couldn’t maintain her calm.

nEven if William died, she might still be unable to forget her feelings for him.

nThe people of the 13th Bureau, faced with the demon god’s blade, were petrified with fear.

nEven Zoey, who could at most ensure her own escape, didn’t flee foolishly. Instead, she used a move called Cosmic Palm and struck forward.

nAlice also drew her sword.

nWilliam stood behind her, and even Alice didn’t notice William flicking the hilt of the Sword of Soulbreaker with his finger.

nA gigantic black palm print and an arcane pulse simultaneously confronted the demon god summoned by the Underworld Warriors.

nThe next moment, the giant blade of the demon god didn’t manage to fall.

nA gentle breeze blew, and the huge phantom of the demon god dissipated like grains of sand.

nAll the Underworld Warriors still stood in their places, but every one of them was already dead, breathless.

nWilliam seemed as if he had done nothing, looking expressionlessly ahead.

nThe people of the 13th Bureau hadn’t yet recovered from their fear; they didn’t even know how the battle had ended.

nBut clearly, they had won.

nEvelyn gave William a deep look, turned her head, and said to those beside her, “Let’s go.”
