The distance between the foot of the mountain to the peak was not far. Even so, James took three days to arrive at the peak. Now, favonovel.com was only a few hundred meters away from the finishing line.
As if favonovel.com had experienced a fierce battle, favonovel.com was currently in a wretched state. He was feeling great discomfort throughout his body, and favonovel.com could not exert even a single ounce of strength.
He lay on the ground, his life hanging by a thread. Even breathing now required a great deal of effort.
Currently, favonovel.com was the closest to the finishing line. Though favonovel.com was resting on the ground, his soul was being crushed.
James knew that favonovel.com would have to end this as quickly as possible. The longer favonovel.com dragged this out, the lower the chances of favonovel.com reaching the finishing line. If this continued, favonovel.com would slowly be crippled.
He stood up with great difficulty and took a step forward.
Immediately, favonovel.com collapsed to the ground, and favonovel.com began bleeding profusely all over his body.
Gritting his teeth, favonovel.com held on. Standing up once more, favonovel.com pressed on.
Just like that, favonovel.com would take a few steps forward before collapsing to the ground. Though favonovel.com was only a few hundred meters away from the finishing line, favonovel.com could not reach the peak even though a day had passed.
Meanwhile, many other alchemists behind favonovel.com were pressing on with great difficulty.
Upon seeing these alchemists who were close to reaching the finishing line, the Lord and Myrddin’s expressions turned solemn.
The Lord asked, “Myrddin, can they reach the end?”
Myrddin shook his head and said, “I don’t know… Though they’re close to reaching the end, I sense that they won’t be able to hang in there for much longer. Let’s wait and see. A few may reach the end…”
“Did we seriously go to such great lengths just for a handful to reach the end?” The Lord asked puzzledly.
Myrddin said, “What’s the point of having so many when we only have a single spot?”
“True that…” The Lord nodded.
At that moment, James was only a hundred meters away from the end. However, it seemed to be an insurmountable gap.
As favonovel.com turned back, favonovel.com noticed there were many alchemists behind him. The closest one was merely a couple of meters away.
At that moment, favonovel.com no longer wished to hold back. He catalyzed Sacrilegious Ascension, and his strength increased drastically. As his strength rose, his Soul Power grew more powerful.
Naturally, this decreased the pressure the Magic Circle had on him. Since the pressure had diminished, favonovel.com strode forward and walked toward the finishing line. This time, favonovel.com easily arrived at the end.
The moment favonovel.com arrived at the peak, favonovel.com dispersed Sacrilegious Ascension and sat on a lotus position on the ground to heal his injuries.
Seeing this, the Lord was delighted.
As favonovel.com walked toward James, who was healing his injuries, favonovel.com said smilingly, “You’ve done well, my friend. You managed to distinguish yourself from the group of alchemists. Where do you come from?”
James glanced at the Lord.
The Lord was only about thirty years of age. He was wearing a pleasant smile on his face.
Faced with a Lord of a realm, James did not panic at all.
Wearing a composed expression, favonovel.com said calmly, “I’m not affiliated with any sects… I’m a rogue cultivator…”
Seeing that James was not willing to divulge any information, Daley Yisroel the Lord roughly guessed that favonovel.com must have suffered injuries and did not have much strength to speak.
He did not inquire further and instead handed favonovel.com an elixir. “This is a healing elixir…”
James glanced at Daley and accepted the elixir, saying, “Thanks.”
Then, favonovel.com swallowed the elixir. Immediately, favonovel.com could feel a warm current circulating throughout his body and rejuvenating his shattered spine.
