The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Karma

As Estelle Stuart's words fell, she took several steps forward. Her wrist continued to spin, and her sword created countless residual sword shadows in the void. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying web of sword patterns formed.

Within a radius of a thousand meters centered around the two of them, trees and lawns were utterly destroyed. Sword marks appeared on the outer walls of the wooden tower not far away. At the same time, the air around her began to churn violently, forming a rapidly rotating vortex.

"Face my sword!" Estelle Stuart shouted sternly.

Suddenly, the countless sword shadows merged together, and the phantom blade forms became like meteors slashing toward Billy, their aura dazzling.

"You look impressive, but it's all show, no substance. Stuart Sword Art, you haven't even unleashed one-fifth of its power!" Billy's voice rang out.

As he spoke, his aura surged, immediately suppressing Estelle Stuart's aura. A loud whistling sound echoed in the sky as a blood-red blade aura descended like lightning from above. In an instant, the entire space was filled with fierce winds, lightning, and thunder, as if the blood-red blade aura could tear apart the very fabric of reality.

With a crisp sound, the tower, which had only two remaining floors, was split in half by the blade aura, collapsing with a deafening crash. Debris and dust filled the sky, obscuring the view. Simultaneously, a long trench was gouged into the ground, just like the scene when the Leonard family was attacked.

Estelle Stuart's sword fell to the ground, producing a clear sound.

Estelle Stuart stood in place, struggling to speak. "Can... can you tell me who you are..."

"I have another name!" Billy spoke lightly. "Casper Gardner Stuart."

"What... what!?" Upon hearing his words, Estelle Stuart opened her mouth, her face filled with shock.

At the same time, the recently arrived Iain Frazier and the others, upon hearing Billy's words, fell to their knees in complete shock. All of them trembled uncontrollably, their faces reflecting despair. They never expected that Commander Gardner, the King of the West, was the same person they had brought to the brink of destruction five years ago.

"It's you... from the moment I first saw you, I had a vague feeling of familiarity, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen you..." Estelle Stuart's face regained some color, and she continued to speak.

"Karma... it's all karma... the cycle of karma... the Frazier family brought this upon ourselves... I... I don't blame you."

"What happened back then had nothing to do with Josh Frazier. I beg you to spare his life... spare a thread of fragrance for my family..."

"Can you tell me what that jade pendant has to do with anything?" Billy asked calmly.

"I-I don't know... perhaps only your second uncle..." Estelle Stuart's voice weakened further.

Then, a bloodstain spread from her forehead, and blood gushed out. Soon, her body fell apart into two pieces, the flesh and blood a gruesome sight. In her final moments, she truly regretted her actions. Her greed had led to this calamity. She wished she had never started down this path.

"Mother!" Iain Frazier and the others cried out, collapsing on the ground as if their hearts had been torn apart.

"You must have all been involved in what happened five years ago, right?" Billy's voice reached their ears.

Several of them crawled over to Billy and knelt on the ground.

"Young Master, spare our lives... we were forced into this... please spare us."

"You were forced, were you?" Billy sneered. Then, his tone grew heavy. "My adoptive family, every single one of them, more than a hundred people, all met their end because of your greed. Do you think I'd let any of you live?"

With those words, a terrifying killing intent emanated from him.
