I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 340 Refusal To Give In

Mabel could not avoid Galad's furious attack.

Zentrum Fyeor's primordial spirit seal was the condensation of the people's belief in Zentrum Fyeor and the power of Zentrum Fyeor.

In other words, that attack was akin to a personal attack from Zentrum Fyeor.

Of course, Galad's capability meant that Zentrum Fyeor's power would be limited—he could only unleash a portion of the latter's power.

It would be another story if it had been someone like the Emperor of Chanaea or the Divine Emperor who used the primordial spirit seal.

The West Lands of the legend once had a Kaia Lama who managed to cultivate the primordial spirit seal of the Great Sun Selt. It was as if the Great Sun Selt had descended to the land of the mortals to destroy all evil.

Although Galad had only managed to harness a portion of the Zentrum Fyeor's power, it was more than enough to lay waste to Mabel.

However, Mabel was still fearless. Before she entered the place, she had already reported to the commander of the government. Therefore, she was entering the place as one of the high-ranking officials of Chanaea.

Therefore, Galad would face the wrath of the Chanaean government if Mabel died.

It would mean a catastrophe for Celestial Sky Sect.

Thymion had a lot of reliance on Chanaea, so it would have a hard time if the Chanaean government became furious with Mabel's death.

So what if Thymion had Galad?

Combat masters were a dime a dozen in Chanaea. Furthermore, many were reporting to Chanaea's secret organizations.

Usually, they would not work for the Chanaean government, and they were not subjected to the Chanaean government's restrictions either. However, they would step forward to help Chanaea out if their country needed them.

Therefore, even if Chanaea did not stop trading with Thymion, Galad would still struggle with fending off the numerous combat masters that Chanaea would send to him.

Galad knew that, but he had his pride was above everything else. The more one pressured and threatened him, the more spiteful he would become.

In no time, Mabel was going to die from the Zentrum Fyeor's primordial spirit seal.

It was a crucial moment of danger, and Mabel was not the only one in danger.

Celestial Sky Sect and Thymion were in danger too.

If Mabel had not announced her identity as a governmental official—if she had come as just Mabel Sandler—then Chanaea would not be able to do anything even if Galad killed her.

However, Mabel had already reported to the government and revealed to the others who she really was. Her death would equate to a provocation.

Galad was furious, so he was barely thinking straight.

But the Great Sun Lama had to see the big picture. He was well aware of the terrifying consequences of letting Galad act out on his emotions.

In the nick of time, the Great Sun Lama made a move.

In an instant, a glint flashed in the Great Sun Lama's eyes, and he quickly used his mana to transport himself to Mabel. The Great Sun Lama was an Immortal Stage cultivator, so he was far quicker to react than Mabel.

In the next second, he pushed Mabel aside.

Thus, the Zentrum Fyeor's primordial spirit seal went toward the Great Sun Lama instead.

With his palms facing the sky, he gathered his mana to one spot to hold his ground against the attack.

Bang! A deafening sound thundered in the air.

The entire meditation room shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Cracks formed on the ground in all directions under the Great Sun Lama's feet.

That was a clear indicator of how powerful Galad's Zentrum Fyeor's primordial spirit seal was.

Colors drained out of Galad's face as he called out to the Great Sun Lama.

The Great Sun Lama fell to the ground looking weak. His face was completely ashen, and he soon coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Vananeru turned pale and shouted out for the Great Sun Lama as well.

Mabel was confused, but she said nothing.

As the Great Sun Lama looked at Galad, he weakly smiled and said, “Galad, your Zentrum Fyeor's primordial spirit seal is impressive, and I'm no match for you. I don't have long to live, so please, listen to me.”

“Why did you do that?” Galad cried out as he hurried to the Great Sun Lama's side.

They were still speaking Ustranasian, for that was the language they often used around each other.

Hence, Mabel could understand what they were talking about.

Galad then reached out to touch the Great Sun Lama's head. Immediately, he figured out the Great Sun Lama's condition.

All of the Great Sun Lama's internal meridians had been ruined.

Any ordinary person would have died, but the Great Sun Lama managed to cling to life until now.

Galad was close to the Great Sun Lama. As tears sprang to his eyes, he squeezed out, “How... How will I ever get over the guilt of doing this to you?

With a faint smile, the Great Sun Lama said, “Galad, I will never regret being your junior. You'll always be the one I respect most.” After a pause, he said, “Galad, you have to know this—I'm not saving Mabel, but I'm saving our sect. Celestial Sky Sect is the blood, sweat, and tears of our masters and you. I can't bear to watch our sect go to ruins like this. Celestial Sky Sect is one of the top sects in our country, but Chanaea is a mighty entity. They have thousands of years of history, and you can't imagine the number of combat masters they have. Have you forgotten about our master's teachings? Have you forgotten how he told us not to cross Chanaea and that Chanaea is a terrifying country to make an enemy of?”

Galad's expression darkened. After taking in a deep breath, he said, “Speak no more. Rest well, my dear junior.”

The Great Sun Lama gave Galad a small smile before saying, “Galad, I won't be able to help you out anymore. Take care...”

At that, the Great Sun Lama's head tilted to the side, and he died.

Vananeru screamed out for the Great Sun Lama again before she burst into tears.

As those tears poured out of her eyes, a sorrowful look flitted across Galad's eyes.

He then stood up and looked at Mabel, who returned the gaze.

Life and death mattered not to Mabel anymore, so she was not afraid of Galad.

On the other hand, Galad remained standing in pride.

He enunciated, “I will persist even if the world is against me.”

Hearing that, Mabel stiffened. She could sense Galad's stubbornness.

He was still resisting them and refused to give in to the pressure.

His refusal to relent was not good news to Mabel and Jonathan.

Galad continued, “We have more than sixty million people in Thymion, and you have one billion and three hundred million people in Chanaea. You have a population that is twenty times larger than ours. There are endless combat masters in Chanaea, I know that. There are four individuals who were the Four Emperors according to the rumors of the past—the Divine Emperor, the Emperor of Chanaea, the Asura Emperor, and the Demon Emperor. These four figures were akin to saints—very powerful. I would be a fool to fight against Chanaea alone. That is why my junior has used his life to save you and his death to pull me back to the right track.”

Mabel stared at Galad in silence.

“However, I do not intend to relent today. No one can make me submit to them. Not only will I kill Jonathan, but I will also kill you. I have finally realized that this is the decisive moment of my destiny. If I get through this alive, I will be no weaker than your Four Emperors. If I do not, my death will be without regrets. Your Four Emperors had achieved greatness back then, and they had been through the best and the worst situations, so why can't I do the same?”

Mabel did not know what to say to that. Her heart sank. No one could change Galad's mind at that point.

Things had taken a turn for the worse, and it was irreversible.

Mabel never expected someone with a high-ranking status like Galad could make such a decision—that he would ignore the dangers he would bring to Celestial Sky Sect.

“The mercy you speak of was nothing but a lie.” Mabel sighed. “You don't mind sacrificing your daughter to kill the cacodemon. You say it is for mercy, and I took your word for it. But now, you are giving up on Celestial Sky Sect for your cultivation and your pride. You're also giving up on your daughter. Don't you think you're being hypocritical? Who do you think you are? Are you being merciful? You are not. You're just the same as Jonathan and I. We're all just stubborn with our own moral code, so none of us have the right to call the other evil.”

Galad glanced at Mabel before turning to look at Vananeru.

In the end, he said, “I will not kill you and Jonathan today. I will only kill you two myself once the cacodemon is dead.” After a pause, he uttered, “Men, take her to the alchemy room!”

With a wave of his hand, he seared a spiritual imprint between Mabel's brows.

Mabel could have avoided that. Although Galad was powerful, he was not powerful enough to mark Mabel with a spiritual imprint without touching her.

However, Mabel knew dodging it was pointless. By not moving, she could salvage some of her pride.

After that, a young monk came in to escort Mabel away.

Once Mabel was gone, Vananeru slowly rose to her feet. She had finally figured out what was going on.

“Father, must you kill these two?” she asked.

Galad turned to her and nodded. “Yes.”

“Do you not care about the lives of the three hundred and more monks in Celestial Sky Monastery? Do you not care about my life?”

Galad fell silent.

“You refuse to let the cacodemon for Thymion's people, even if it means sacrificing me. I won't blame you for it. In fact, I'm proud of you. I think of you as a hero. To be honest, Jonathan is saving the cacodemon because he thinks that the cacodemon has saved his life. Moreover, they're connected with familial bonds. He has cast away his fear of death, and although I despise how he's manipulative, I'm also impressed. He, too, is a hero.”

A pause later, she went on by saying, “But you've cast aside your concern for the Great Sun Lama's life for your personal honor and the safety of Celestial Sky Sect. I'm disappointed, and I think that you're being selfish.”

Galad remained quiet.

Vananeru then asked, “Father, do you not speak because you have no answers for me?”

Lifting his head, Galad then said, “My daughter, there are things you don't understand. Jonathan is willing to give up his life to save the cacodemon because he wants to be at ease. He has said that peace of mind is the most important thing in life. That is something I agree with. Mabel is threatening me with the mighty Chanaea, and if I give in to her, I will never have peace of mind again. I will never be happy ever.”
