It's rather disappointing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In preparation for a solid victory today, he had endured the agonizing pain of the Soul Grindstone, wave after wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But William's combat power truly disappointed him; even without using magus techniques, he could suppress him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Alan advanced towards him, delivering a punch that shattered the flames swirling around William.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce energy combined with mana transformed into a searing fireball, sending William flying to the edge of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A searing pain, akin to skin being stripped from his chest, surged through William.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to his senses, he looked down to see his shirt burned away and his skin charred, a mouthful of blood surging uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was injured from just one strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William's expression darkened, his eyes filled with pain and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the support of his family, his power growing day by day, and breaking family records to become the fastest to advance to tier-bronze, why was Alan's combat power superior to his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't accept the result and charged at Alan in a mad frenzy. \"This is fake! It must be fake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could your strength surpass mine? I'm the pride of House Roan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted in rage as red flames flared around him, heat radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, having grasped the intricacies of the Hellfire bloodline, Alan only wore a scornful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as William charged again, Alan kicked out like a whip, striking him in the abdomen and sending him flying once more, while he leaped into the air and brutally stomped down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"William, you've lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's icy yet determined words echoed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene fell into complete silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Alan's sudden explosion of power and swift suppression of William, it all happened in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defeat came too quickly, too unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, William had just demonstrated what seemed to be magus-level abilities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the crowd could process this, they suddenly saw the seneschal rush towards the duel stage, panic and fear etched on his face, shouting at Alan, \"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Alan had already drawn a dagger from his waist, mana flowing like cold water over the blade, ready to slice at William's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a life-and-death duel, it was kill or be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan showed no mercy and completely disregarded the seneschal's shouts, instead quickening his strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the dagger was about to hit William's throat, the seneschal hurled his staff forward, intercepting Alan's lethal blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, confess! What despicable means did you use?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've clearly shattered your mana core and are a cripple! How can you still possess such strength? Was it that sickly sister of yours who concocted some forbidden drug?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alan could respond, the seneschal kept questioning him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Alan's mana core had been ruined was his doing. He couldn't believe that Alan still had such terrifying combat power without some shady tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's anger surged as he felt the seneschal's accusations were a direct insult to his sister. \"You old fool! You're already using underhanded tactics against me, but how dare you insult my sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you doubt my strength so much, let's have a life-and-death duel—no mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for the seneschal's agreement, Alan threw a punch right at his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seneschal, a mere tier-iron level 8 mage, had no chance to react and was struck squarely in the eye, sending him crashing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to steady himself, the seneschal touched his bloodied cheek. The pain and humiliation ignited his fury. \"In this duel, Alan has used despicable means! He must be dealt with!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the frantic voice of the elder beside him echoing, several family guards quickly surrounded them, forming a tense formation with weapons drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! William lost, yet I'm the one using despicable means? I didn't see you showing any face before, you shameless old fool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's more, your shame is minor; in front of so many, you broke your word. I feel embarrassed for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers in the square had already begun to murmur about the seneschal's actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen shamelessness before, but never to this degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Alan's mana core was destroyed because of this seneschal's machinations. Initially, I didn't believe that someone from the same family could disregard their bloodline like this, but it seems the seneschal has crossed a line this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a life-and-death duel, no one should interfere; this rule has been passed down for generations. The seneschal has already violated this tradition by openly guiding William; now he seeks to find an excuse to intervene. He truly can't be called a noble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs among the crowd grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lords of House Black, House Manson, and House Quixote, who had been oppressed before, now joined in with mocking remarks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first time I've heard of intervening in a life-and-death duel; this is truly an eye-opener.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's better to just throw Alan into the gaol than to let him embarrass himself further. If you can't match your opponent, it's better to spare yourself the shame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard someone say their grandson is the best in the Northern District? Now I see that losing a life-and-death duel and refusing to acknowledge it is indeed the mark of a 'first.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless mocking voices surged like a tide into the seneschal's ears, his expression darkening to the extreme. He realized that after today, his reputation would be utterly ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as he could keep his grandson alive and eliminate Alan, what did it matter if he tarnished his name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seize him! Use severe torture! How dare you employ tricks before this elder? Do you think I'm easy to fool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seneschal firmly asserted this and urged the family guards to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the guards prepared to move, a chilling wind suddenly swept through, followed by a voice full of authority booming out, \"Stop!\" Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards looked toward the source of the voice and saw an elder with white hair walking out from the Roan Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of House Roan, Shuster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him, the guards immediately relaxed their weapons and looked at him with some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had become chaotic, and it was time for the patriarch to step in and restore order. Deep down, they felt some guilt about targeting Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seneschal quickly approached Shuster, embellishing the situation and detailing Alan's past actions to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch, Alan is out of control! His mana core is shattered, making him unfit to inherit the position. William has just awakened a special bloodline…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that Alan is using underhanded methods, we ask the patriarch for justice for my grandson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially speaking in an official capacity, the seneschal grew more and more agitated, wishing nothing more than to see Alan executed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other family heads also crowded around Shuster, chattering about Alan's defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Shuster turned his gaze to Alan on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually been out of seclusion for some time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Alan was someone he had promoted as his successor, but he also wanted to see how Alan and William's talents compared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Alan had indeed won, he had observed William's exceptional talent, which was worth cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, with Alan's mana core shattered, despite his unexplained surge in power, it wasn't a long-term solution; he could fall again at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","78dd9ac4baea77fb5c2ef5fcdbea4602dcdefabbd3e0087ff7abc7e5ebe44393","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-88","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-460",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
