Dermott’s lips curled. He rolled his eyes, smiled, and said, "What do you need me to do, Eric? Just say the word and I'll handle it for you!”
Nash stepped out with Cillian and Bertram. "Bertram, take him to the north.” With that, he handed 25 spiritual stones and a map to Dermott.
Before Dermott could say anything, Nash leaped off the balcony and disappeared into the night while Cillian and Eric headed in a different direction.
Bertram grabbed Dermott’s arm, and both of them landed on the ground. Then, with another leap, they landed on the roof of another building before disappearing into the night.
Nash arrived at a moat on the east of Bint City. He took out the Nine Dragons Sword and dug a two-meter-deep pit. Just as he was about to place the array stones, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Nash recognized this aura like the back of his hand. It was Briston, the second elder of the Limitless Sword Sect.
"Calcraft, despite being the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, you can't seem to distinguish between good and evil. Thus, I'm here to enforce justice!" Briston roared, his voice rattling Nash's eardrums and causing his blood to churn.
Nash looked up at Briston, who was standing in mid-air, and calmly replied, "I only know that you caused the deaths of 163 civilians!"
Briston snorted coldly, "That was because Erec lured me there.”
“If he had lured you to the city center, would you have destroyed the entire city?" Nash asked again indifferently.
"I have no time for your nonsense. Prepare to die!"
Briston raised his hand and then brought it down toward Nash’s head. A massive hand descended rapidly to crush Nash into pulp.
Nash summoned the Nine Dragons Sword and was about to burn his essence blood to release the nine dragon spirits when two figures in green robes appeared in front of him. One of them was holding a bronze mirror above their head, and it released a beam of white light that swallowed Briston’s hand.
