The fact that all seven of them had failed to stop that single aurablade made for a truly soul-crushing experience…
Regardless, though the helpless men were able to dodge in time, their action left Isaac completely exposed! Upon being stabbed, Isaac howled in pain before exploding into a cloud of dust barely a second later…! But that wasn’t all!
With how great the collision impact had been, a shockwave was sent out, resulting in all seven of the men spurting out blood even though they had avoided the main attack!
“…S-such… Such power…! What a powerful aurablade…!” stuttered the six elders in both horror and shock.
Jaxen, however, was filled with grief as he muttered, “…Isaac…”
Not even processing Jaxen’s misery, the six elders were already exchanging glances as they said, “Was that attack really from Gerald? How could his cultivation be this high…?!”
After what they had just witnessed, they were glad that they had chosen to invite the elders of the Thunder Sword Sect to handle the situation rather than hastily deal with the boy themselves… Had they gone with the latter, their family would have surely been exterminated by now…!
Their train of thought was cut short when Jaxen—who couldn’t even find traces of Isaac’s clothing left behind—began wailing while yelling, “My poor boy…!”
Because of that, though there were many cultivating families—like the Zemans—across the globe, commoners weren’t aware of this. Of course, this included cultivating families and sects in Weston.
Speaking of Weston, though several families here trained their bodies to the extreme, they weren’t technically ‘true’ cultivators. With that in mind, though they were mysterious, they were still considered to be part of the secular world, and were allowed to interact with the people there.
The high elders of the three large families in Yanam were good examples of this. Though they thought they were cultivators, they really weren’t. Sadly, it wasn’t easy to tell unless such people were actually fought with. Either way, Gerald was thinking about all this since he wondered whether the Morningstars actually had support from real cultivators…
