The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

The only Transcendent Realm master the masked man had killed was with the Blazing Fist. With just one punch, his opponent was burned to ashes, with no traces left.

Therefore, for Felix to withstand such an attack proved how terrifying he was. "Drop the act. Just kill me already!"

As soon as the two masked men launched a palm strike, Felix wasn't afraid. He immediately crushed the token given by the Protector. There was a red light that opened up and instantly enveloped him.

There were two loud bangs as the strikes collided with the light.

The two masked men were dumbfounded.

"How many trump cards do you have? Isn't this way too much?" They were already driven crazy.

After that weird paper figure, what was this red shield now?

A minute later, the masked men had their mouths agape in shock. No matter how much they attacked, the shield didn't budge. It took absolutely no damage and

didn't move.

"Hey, you two, you'll die if you don't leave now!" Felix's voice came from the shield mockingly.

When the two men heard his voice, their expression turned ugly.

"Do you think you can scare us? Everything has its limits! Just like the paper figure you used before, this red shield must also have a limit!"

"That's right. You're just stalling for time! Once the shield dissipates, we'll kill you! Don't expect Ezra and the rest to come and save you-we have people keeping them occupied there. You're doomed!"

Despite that, Felix had only been teasing them. He knew that these two men would never leave. However, only he knew that before the redlight dissipated, the expert mentioned by the Protector would definitely come. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been called a trump card.

As time passed, the three masked men who surrounded Ezra and his crew grew anxious. It had been quite some time. Why weren't the other two back yet? Could something else have happened?

"Do you really think it's easy to kill my mentee? You must've underestimated me!" Deborah immediately noticed their anxiety and took advantage of it. Since the two sides were evenly matched, this would definitely work.

Seeing how they didn't answer, Deborah snorted coldly. "He's my only mentee, and he's extremely gifted! I knew there were enemies eyeing him, so how could I not make sure he was protected?

"Well, stay here if you truly want to. But by the same time next year, this will be the anniversary of your deaths. Just look at Shepherd. He's someone who only does things that benefit himself. So, why has he not left yet?"

Shepherd was dumbfounded. Did the crazy Deborah just drag him into her scheme?

The three masked men looked a little uneasy. Deborah was a well-known alchemist master, with at least six or seven Transcendent Realm masters owing her favors. If she truly did make arrangements, this wasn't a winnable fight. noveldrama

"Don't be fooled! Our plans are thorough! If Deborah has a backup plan, why would she stay here, chatting with us?" Lloyd spoke up, making Deborah furious.

She knew that her words were all in vain, and she couldn't help but stare off into the distance. "I'm so sorry, Felix. You must survive by yourself this time," she thought.

Meanwhile, something bad was happening on Felix's end. The red light that enveloped him dissipated, and the two men laughed.

"I really thought this would last for days!"

"Boy, if you pull out another trump card to save your life, I'll turn around and leave right now!"

As soon as they finished laughing, they were shocked. Another person suddenly appeared in front of Felix.

However, the most important thing was they all knew who this person was.
