Gladstone saw that the plan was about to succeed, and the dagger was about to pierce into Joelson's heart.

His face became joyful, and his eyes revealed a brutal look.

​​

After he killed Joelson, no one here would be able to escape!

They would all die here!

He would not let anyone see him being such a miserable person living in this world!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Gladstone's mind.

At this moment.

Joelson moved.

Gladstone was shocked, his eyes fixed on Joelson.

He only saw that Joelson, who had his back to him a moment ago, had turned around at an unimaginable speed.

Joelson's face was very calm, without the slightest ripple.

It was as if he had already guessed that he would assassinate him.

Gladstone's expression became ugly.

He knew clearly in his heart that when his assassination was seen through, it had already failed.

Joelson's pupils shone with a faint golden light, and he looked at Gladstone as if he was looking at a clown.

A dark golden ray flashed in his hand.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone noticed the sudden situation and turned around.

They only saw that the dagger in Gladstone's hand had been broken. A part of it was still falling from the air. He was only holding the hilt of his sword.

Gladstone's body was also penetrated by the dark golden ray.

The molten metal passed through his shoulder, breaking his right arm from his shoulder and dropping to the ground.

Crack!

Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene. They were all stunned on the spot.

"Ah—!"

Gladstone screamed in pain. His face was completely twisted due to the pain and became extremely ugly.

Hearing his scream, everyone woke up in shock.

They felt a lingering fear in their hearts.

Fortunately, Joelson had defeated him once again.

Otherwise...

When Gladstone killed Joelson, the next people to die...

Would probably be them!

Everyone unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They were glad that Joelson had reacted in time.

"You damn guy! How dare you break my hand!"

"Bug! I will kill you!"

Gladstone's shrill voice echoed in the sky.

Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.

He was now a piece of meat on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by Joelson.

How dare he make a ruckus?

Joelson listened to Gladstone's ruckus, and his face was still calm.

But a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Joelson took out the sword of slaughter, and a dazzling light lit up.

It was like a platinum sun rising in the lost divine kingdom.

Joelson held the long sword and walked toward Gladstone step by step.

Seeing this scene, Gladstone's ruckus immediately stopped and his face turned dull.

The gaze he looked at Joelson was only filled with fear.

"Don't come over!"

"I've already given you the key to the inheritance! You said you'd let me go!"

"Please let me go. If you want me to go, I can teach you arcane magic too!"

Gladstone pleaded, tears and snot flowing down his face.

When the crowd saw this scene, there was no fear or awe, only disgust.

Gladstone's pathetic appearance, how was he like a student from the legendary Supreme Academy?

He was no better than a stray dog on the roadside!

Hearing Gladstone's pleas, Joelson's expression remained calm without the slightest change.

He raised the sword of slaughter high up in the air and swung it at Gladstone.

Wherever the sword passed, it left a black mark in the air.

Gladstone stared at the falling sword with his eyes wide open. There was only despair in his eyes.

Even the dazzling platinum light that was as bright as the sun did not make him close his eyes.

When everyone saw that the sword was about to land on Gladstone's head, they heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Gladstone was dead, everything would be over.

They would naturally be safe.

At this moment.

A sudden change occurred!

Just as the longsword was about to land on Gladstone's neck, his body suddenly emitted a layer of faint, sparkling light.

It was as if he was wrapped in an egg.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

It was not as if they had never seen such a dazzling white-gold light before.

Even Bartholomew, who had a strong physical body, was instantly killed by this power. His body was completely annihilated, not even a speck of dust was left behind!

However, this time.

The longsword that was shining with a white-gold light was blocked by the sparkling light!

No one could believe that such a weak light could block such a sharp platinum light!

But the truth was right in front of them. They had to believe it.

Looking at the light around Gladstone's body, Joelson frowned slightly.

He felt a resistance that he couldn't break through.

This power wasn't big, but he couldn't break through!

Even the platinum power, which had always been able to wipe out everything, was now blocked outside!

Even Gladstone was stunned.

But soon, he reacted.

His originally despairing expression also became excited.

"It's the protective arcane magic that Master Adonis cast on me!"

Gladstone shouted excitedly.

As he spoke, the weak light had already turned Gladstone into a stream of light, bringing him away from here at an unimaginable speed.

All that was left was Gladstone's resentful gaze.

As well as the last sentence that echoed in this place.

"Joelson!"

"The next time we meet will be when you die!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.

Gladstone just ran away?

This wasn't what they had expected.

But no matter what, for them, with Gladstone gone, they wouldn't be in danger of being killed.

Clemente and the others looked worried.

After Gladstone left, he would definitely think of a way to deal with Joelson.

Although he wasn't a match for Joelson now.

But after he completely mastered the arcane magic, the situation might be different.

They were worried, but there was nothing they could do.

With their strength, it wasn't enough to affect the battle between Joelson and Gladstone.

Joelson glanced calmly in the direction Gladstone had left.

He had no intention of catching up.

The speed of that weak light was simply too fast.

Even if he summoned Du Lu, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

The "Master Adonis" Gladstone had mentioned was definitely a highgod expert!

Joelson didn't think too much about it. He turned around.

"Let's go. The trial should be over."
