Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 898 Result Of Their Battle

Logan stared at Nora Alstreimʼs gorgeous yet bewildered expression as he gloomily thought back to how the mask couldʼve cracked and remembered that her punch grazed past his mask, managing to break it into two pieces.

The maskʼs quality was only around the upper level of Sky Grade, so it was understandable that it broke, but why now!? Right when they were so close to each other!?

Logan didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry.

However, once he remembered that there was a person from the Alstreim Family who had already seen his face, he didnʼt feel panicked anymore. Furthermore, the only one who should hide her face here is Claire alone.

He promptly let her go as he moved back a little and placed his index finger on his lips, ”Keep it to yourself.”

He took another mask that looked the same from his spatial ring and placed it on his face amidst Nora Alstreimʼs dumbfounded yet stiff expression.

At this moment, Nora Alstreimʼs legs became limp, and she found it difficult to stand. The backlash from using her blood essence arrived like a tide now that enough time had passed, and the adrenaline had receded. She increasingly trembled like she was going to die before she was no longer able to keep standing and plopped down. She became dizzy for a moment and landed on her knees.

*Whoosh!~*

Suddenly, all the haze within the martial platform seemed to be blown away by a massive force. The wind picked up, sending the haze to the distance, and what appeared in the air was a line of Elders, and in front of them was a person who possessed a solemn air and a worried expression on his face.

It was none other than Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

”Nora!” He quickly arrived in front of his granddaughter while the other Elders worked on clearing the strange purple haze that plagued the martial platform. Elder Havle Alstreim seemed to come beside Logan and looked at him in a scrutinizing light before looking at the fallen Nora Alstreim.

It was clear that Nora Alstreim had been defeated, and judging by the looks of it, it wasnʼt like she incurred only a light injury.

He didnʼt know what to say to that as he felt complex about it. Should he feel happy that the side he brought won or be sad because the Alstreim Family lost this battle?

In a few seconds, the haze cleared, and the entire Grand Welcoming Hall came into view.

Nora Alstreim felt lethargic as she laid on her grandpaʼs chest.

However, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs expression changed as he finished checking Nora Alstreim. Although the injuries seemed to light and could be easily restored back to health, he found that she had wasted an enormous amount of blood essence!

That wouldnʼt be able to be healed easily!

”What is the meaning of this!?” He looked at the despicable Logan as he spat out through clenched teeth. He suppressed the killing intent that began to swirl in his eyes before it could even leak.

Nora Alstreim had sacrificed about twenty percent of her blood essence in a single go! Twenty percent wasnʼt a normal amount at all! Using that much blood essence in a mere friendly battle exchange didnʼt make sense. This wouldnʼt mostly happen unless the opponent possessed killing intent against her and possessed the chance to kill her!

Furthermore, because of the haze, no one knew what exactly happened. Hence, he couldnʼt point his finger baselessly without evidence, and in front of the Conferred Queen and her Protector, the chances are they would fail to obtain any positive results even if he pointed fingers at Logan. Hence, he could only clench his teeth and await Loganʼs response.

Logan was about to play dumb and do his usual shrug that indicated that he didnʼt give a crap, but a strained voice echoed, making him blink his eyes.

”No! I-It was I who m-misunderstood...” Nora Alstreim said in a feeble tone as she laid on the ground while her grandfather supported her.

She felt weak and sluggish. Back in that moment, feeling that she was going to die, she condensed the maximum amount of blood essence she could, twenty percent, and activated the Twisting Blaze Wheel Battle Technique that, once formed, could wreak havoc at the target without having to be controlled by her. She had planned to keep him at bay with this technique, but who knew that he would instantly close the distance and grasp her hand instead?

She instantly yet ruthlessly changed her mind to go down together but what happened was entirely different than what she thought it to be. She wasnʼt killed but saved.

After being saved, she belatedly realized that she had almost foolishly killed herself. She was in disbelief that she misunderstood and actually took the wrong decision in a battle exchange.

Even if making mistakes were fine here, she knew that if she went out and committed a mistake like this, it would be truly difficult to redeem or even save herself! In the end, she blamed it on all the strange purple fog for making her act strange and deluding her mind.

Nora Alstreim weakly clenched her hand in frustration and acceptance as she echoed, ”I accept defeat...”

The moment Logan revealed his tri-cultivation, she knew she wasnʼt his match!

Nora Alstreim was just at Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Peak-Level Silver Stage, and Peak-Level Young Soul Stage. On the other hand, Logan was at Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Low-Level Martial Ascendance Stage, and Low-Level Elder Soul Stage.

Although their Essence Gathering Cultivation was equal, their Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation were worlds apart with her being on the weaker end of the spectrum.

She couldnʼt easily gap that bridge, no matter how she tried. This fact helped her prideful-self to accept defeat easily, although it still hurt her pride a bit.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didnʼt know what to say to her words. However, he had no time to think. He lifted up Nora Alstreim gently before taking her away to be treated.

He flew to a corner in an instant, and a small abode appeared. At the same time, a few women who freely sat around in the Grand Welcoming Hall flew with elegance as they stepped onto the small abode. Judging by the aura-full yet straightforward white robes they wore, it could be seen that they were apothecaries.

The sooner they treated her, the better Nora Alstreim would become! As for detailed information, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim felt that he could ask Nora Alstreim inside the abode later.

Logan didnʼt say anything. He just gestured at Elder Havle Alstreim with clasped hands as an acknowledgment and left towards the Conferred Queenʼs side in a dominant manner.

Almost everyone cast a look at him as he flew to his place and sat. Most of it was gazes of admiration as they respected him to be a top younger generational expert.

However, Logan wasnʼt in the mood to bother about the gazes of others. He felt that he was in deep trouble as he felt Claireʼs gaze on him.

Was she going to ask what happened in the haze?

”Excellent! You managed to waste her, and it serves her right.” Claireʼs voice excitedly echoed in Loganʼs mind.

Logan inwardly heaved a sigh and calmed down, assuming that she was happy with his actions and hoping that she perhaps wasnʼt going to ask him anything. He relaxed in his seat, his hand extending to the cup of wine, but his eyes suddenly shot open wide. Only now did he realize the weight of what he had truly done!

In a sense, the deed he had done was akin to betrayal!
