Life After Prison



Their opponent was a radiantly glowing girl wielding a shield, who was accompanied by enchanting celestial music. The girl was dressed in a plain-colored gown, adorned with a jade hairpin. Her appearance-devoid of any makeup-was as delicate as the petals of a rose, with a complexion as pure as morning glow on snow. Her wispy brows were furrowed in anger while her big eyes were filled with a hint of indignation.

Severin's eyebrows shot up in surprise when he recognized who she was. "It's herl

The girl was none other than Callie Romero from the Marvair Sect, whom Severin had met once before.

At that moment, Callie appeared bedraggled with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her face was pale as paper, and her aura seemed somewhat unstable, indicating that she had suffered serious injuries. On the other hand, her two opponents seemed to be in much better condition. Radiant lights flicker around them, making them look like ethereal celestial beings.

One of them, a robust man with a body developed like the twisted roots of an ancient tree, laughed heartily. "Haha, little lady, you're already heavily wounded. If I were you, I'd hand over that treasure map!"

"Cut the nonsense! I don't have the treasure map! If you want to fight, then fight!" Callie retorted with a delicate but firm voice.

The young man wielding a green longsword and emitting vigorous swordwill scoffed. "Huh! Even at death's door, you dare to be defiant. I'll teach you a lesson for stealing from my family!"

Hector Burke gathered the swordwill around him to unleash a formidable sword bear that swiftly shot towards Callie.

Faced with the fierce attack, Callie had no choice but to block with her shield while frantically infusing the shield with the power of heaven and earth to protect her.

At the same time, Severin-who was still concealed in the void-after hearing the conversation from both sides, began to ponder.

Judging from the attire of Hector and his companion, Severin deduced that they should be members of the Burke family, one of the Eight Great Clans of the Easter Wilderness.

As the name suggested, the Eight Great Clans of the Easter Wilderness were the eight strongest clans within the Eastern Wilderness. Their ancestors were once formidable figures who ascended to immortality, and subsequently gained fame in the ancient times.

The foundational strength of these eight major clans could go head to head to any of the various major sacred sects! Blake, whom Severin encountered earlier, was also a prodigy of one of the Eight Great Clans of the Eastern Wilderness.

Severin was not particularly curious about the identities of the two individuals; after all, any prodigy capable of entering the Starry Sky Battlespace was unlikely to have an ordinary background. He was more intrigued by the treasure map that Hector had mentioned.

It made sense the Burkes would send someone after Callie if she had stolen a treasure map from them. Just as the thought crossed Severin's mind, the battle had reached a climax. Severin could not sit idly by as Callie, who was severely wounded, faced the onslaught from the Burke family's disciples. Metaphorically speaking, Callie's back was already forced to the wall.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Thus, Severin was compelled to take action seeing as Callie was on the brink of defeat. After all, he could not afford to let the opportunity slip by, Callie just might really have a treasure map in her possession. Even if she did not, extending a helping hand to a fellow Southsky native was a small effort for Severin.

No matter the circumstance, Severin had nothing to lose. With that in mind, he deactivated his concealment technique and stepped out of the void.

"You two should feel ashamed for ganging up on a girl like that!"
