Chapter 5435

“Are you looking down on the members of the Dieux Academy?”

Lemuel took a few steps forward and released his aura. As he activated the sixth stage of the

Feimsurge Art, Lemuel channeled an immense wave of aura in Halianor’s direction.

With the powers of the Feimsurge Art, Lemuel’s aura was enhanced to the point where it had even

surpassed the potency of Halianor’s aura.

“I have no intention of interfering in your act of revenge against James Caden.

However, I have previously received guidance from a cultivator belonging to the Temple of

Theognostos. Therefore, I can’t just let you take James away against his will.”

Lemuel knew James’ story about Theognostos was all a bluff.

However, it was the only way left for Lemuel to use the story to keep the Yefteros wary and buy James

more time.

Meanwhile, Lemuel had extended his aura to cover the entire area of the Dieux Academy. His aura was

strong enough to withstand the attack from Halianor’s formation if the latter decided to activate it.

After listening to Lemuel’s words, Halianor gave a snort.

“Alright. I’ll go with you,” James started.

James did not want to see Lemuel fight Halianor just to protect him. If that were to happen, it would

certainly turn the Dieux Academy into a target for the Yefteros.

Frankly, Lemuel was the only competent cultivator in the Dieux Academy who stood a chance against

those from the Dark World. He would not be able to protect all the academy’s members with his powers

alone.

On the contrary, Halianor was simply one of the many skilled cultivators who served the Yeftero Race.

The Yefteros could always dispatch more cultivators to take down the Dieux Academy.

As James pretended to agree to Halianor’s demands, he silently produced a Boundarybreaker Rune.

When he sensed Halianor seemed to have let down his guard a little, James crushed the rune and

activated its powers. James was instantly enveloped in the powers of the Boundarybreaker Rune, and

he vanished from the spot right away.

“Do you really think you can run away from me?” Halianor’s expression hardened. He lifted his hand

and made a grabbing motion in the air.

At the same time, James was transported to a distant location with the powers of the Boundarybreaker

Rune.

However, a gigantic hand appeared out of a crack in the void behind James the next instant, and it

caught him.

The hand was slowly moving back into the crack and pulling James along to transport him back to the

Dieux Academy at the Central Plane.

Just then, a powerful energy was generated and unleashed from James’ body as it detected

overwhelming pressure coming from that huge hand.

The iron grip clutching over James’ body loosened for a split second due to the shock. During that short

amount of time, James used another Boundarybreaker Rune and teleported away from that spot.

The gigantic hand tried to grab at James again, but it missed this time. Instead, the hand’s powerful

grip destroyed the surrounding space almost instantaneously.

On the other hand, James tore a few more Boundarybreaker Runes and teleported to a completely

foreign-looking area. Then, he quickly concealed his aura to prevent leaving any trace.

Back at the Dieux Academy, Halianor had pulled back his arm. He appeared extremely annoyed as he

cursed aloud,” Darn it!” Lemuel gave a small sigh of relief as he saw that James managed to make his

escape.

He turned his eyes to Halianor and said flatly, “Sir Halianor, I think you need to reconsider whether you

should catch James Caden. You might be putting the entire Yeftero Race at risk.”

“The Yeftero Race may be the strongest group among the Dark World’s Four Ancient Races. However,

the Dark World is a vast place with many unexplored areas. There may be things that the Yefteros are

still unaware of.”

Lemuel seemed much more relaxed now compared to how he was just a few minutes ago.

He could tell Halianor had traveled to the Dieux Academy for James. The man showed no aggression

toward those from the Dieux Academy.

Halianor stopped releasing his aura in overpowering amounts. Then, he slowly lowered himself to the

ground just outside the entrance to the Dieux Academy’s main hall.

Lemuel materialized next to him.

“What is it now? Do you want to stay around and have a tour of our academy?”

Lemuel cast Halianor a sidelong glance.
