I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Chapter 86 - Grand Patriarch

The Wind around him seemed to pick up as arcane mana, also known as Spirit energy, started to course all over his body!

Dante's body flashed a metallic silver glow as a silver beam shot out from deep within his cone of flames, signifying the attack of the Silver Dragon.

"Boom!"

A devastating explosion rang out as these volatile opposing energies mixed.

The light was so blinding that even Dante had to cover his eyes for a few seconds at the blinding glare created.

After the smoke cleared, it was possible to see that just these two attacks had greatly changed the environment as a crater the size of house was formed on the battleground because of these two attacks.

But while Dante was looking at the destruction they had caused on the battlefield, he suddenly saw that a ridiculous amount of blood had started to gush around Curtis all over again. 

To Dante's horror, it seemed like Curtis was about to unleash the same attack he just did once again!

Dante knew that if let this stuff continue that it will only be a matter of time before he is defeated.

With Curtis's ability to gain Spirit Energy from blood, he was basically unhindered on a battlefield like this. And because of this fact, he could keep on sending out ridiculously powerful attacks again and again without the fear of using up all his Spirit Energy.

Dante, on the other hand, had to be as conservative with his energy as possible. Even with the help of Klent, it would only be a matter of time before he would run out of all his energy!

Because of this, Dante knew if he wanted any chance of changing the direction of this fight, he would have to act now!

Dante didn't waste any more time and began to rush Curtis, stimulating his movement technique to the best of his abilities but just as he was rushing towards Curtis, a painful wail shook the arena 

"Arrrgh!"

The shout was so loud that even Curtis and Dante had to stop and see what on earth was going on.

In the sky above the battlefield, Patriarch Gavin was brutally stabbed in the back and fell straight out of the sky

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded as Patriavh Gavin's body hit the floor of the Arena

"Father!" 

Rebecca screamed in horror as she watched her father smash straight into the ground below.

"Hahaha! Brother Harrison, you have really outdone yourself this time!

Your contributions to the Slater Clan won't be forgotten after all this over!"

Said Patriarch Nolan as he burst out laughing 

"Gavin, your weakness was that you trusted your Clan too much.

Now look at you, that very same trust is what led to your own downfall!"

...

"Brother!"

Winton stopped his fight as soon as he heard his brother scream in pain and quickly rushed in his brother's direction to try and help him as soon as possible.

but whilst Winton was trying to get to his brother, a cold voice sounded out behind him 

"You seem to be forgetting about somebody!"

"Bang!" 

In the split-second Winton turned away, Elder Mahan let out a devastating attack at Winton, smashing him straight into the floor.

Seeing the sight of Winton being brutally Dealt with Elder Harrison finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gavin, Winton, you can't blame me for this.

Ever since your father's generation all the way down to the generation of your children, your family has always been getting in my way.

I thought that at least when your father passed on that I could finally become patriarch but instead, you pair of little shits took over!

Everything that happened now is a result of your own actions, If it wasn't because you forced me so far this would have never happened!"

After his loud outburst, Elder Harison seemed to sigh in relief as if in saying all this he had finally managed to get something off of his chest.

but before Elder Harrison could truly relax a bone-chilling voice sounded out across the Battlefield

"Oh is that so?"

Winton slowly crawled out the crater in the ground with his body still covered in dust and fragments of earth.

He didn't even speak much after brushing of Elder Mahan's attack.

Only for the first time since he returned to the Kinsman Clan, Winton fully released his killing intent letting his rage truly run wild!

A devastating earthquake hit the surroundings as even the arena they stood in was affected and started to crumble under the devastating pressure released by Winton.

But that was just the start of the horrific phenomenon as a vast wave of darkness swept over the whole brightsteel city sending the city from the middle of the day to deep a night.

The only problem was that instead of the normal pitch-black night sky with twinkling stars, the sky was now dense bloody red, symbolising Winton's boundless killing intent.

Winton didn't seem to care about anybody else at this moment in time as weaker people collapsed under his field of pure murderous intent!

Even Elder Mahan wasn't spared body began to shake uncontrollably. Noticing this Elder Mahan grabbed his arm as he thought to himself

'I'm shaking?

this feeling, It's been years since I felt it.

Fear.

I never thought I'd see something that could make me feel such fear ever again!'

Kinsman Clan, Slater Clan, it didn't matter to Winton anymore, all that mattered was that he had to get revenge.

Ignoring the happenings around him, Wintons pitch-black eyes stared at Elder Harrison 

"I've really gotten too soft.

To think I even spared your life after everything you've done.

The crazy thing is, I've killed people for doing much less than you ever did yet here you are"

Thinking of the ridiculousness of the situation, Winton couldn't help but laugh at his own stupidity 

"Hahaha! In the past, I really was a fool.

Well I've finally realised people like you, they just don't deserve a second chance

Today is the day you die Harrison!"

But just as Winton was about to make a move a majestic old voice sounded in the air.

"Really?

After all that effort to hide you're going to expose yourself just for this?"

hearing this statement Winton almost went beserk!

"Just for this?

This man stabbed my brother and you say just for this!

Who the hell do you think you are!"

"Well, I'm your Father."

After hearing that Winton finally snapped as he turned around in rage 

"WHO THE FUCK!!

Huh, Dad?"

Winton turned around only to be greeted by the sight of a majestic old man. 

he was wearing a crimson red robe and had white hair that went down to his shoulders.

"Father?

What the hell are you doing here."

But Winton wasn't the only one stunned by his father's appearance, the rest of the kinsman Clan were left even more dumbfounded.

"What the hell the grand patriarch is still alive!?"

"Didn't he die in seclusion, how did he appear here?"

The grand patriarch didn't seem to pay attention to anyone's musing as he continued speaking 

"Winton your horrible temper still seems to be an issue like it always is." said The Grand Patriarch as he shook his head.

If you took a moment to calm down you could have easily realised that Gavin's injury isn't actually that serious. 

Gavin managed to defend against the stab wound of the attack, the only problem is the demonic energy spreading throughout his body.

But seeing as you are so familiar with demonic energy, I'm sure you can easily deal with that can't you?"

Hearing his father's words Winton didn't waste another second as he teleported beside his fallen brother ignoring the Slater clan elders around him.

"wait, hold on.."

It seemed like the Slater clan elders still had something wrong with their brains as despite Winton ignoring their presence, they still tried to stop him.

Winton didn't even look in their direction and only waved his hand 

"Splat!"

Instantly the bodies of all the elders surrounding him burst open, spilling their guts all over the floor in a gruesome display of power.

Seeing this harrowing sight, Elder Harrison's heart sank. 

'he really could have ended my life back then.

Why did I even try and fight this monster, I'm lucky to even be alive right now!' 

only now did Elder Harrison realise just how easily Winton could have ended his life.

If it wasn't for the Grand patriarch appearing to stop Winton right then he was basically as good as dead! 

Even now his life wasn't assured as Winton was still focused on saving Gavin's life, once Gavin was saved and back in good health it was still unknown as to whether he would be allowed to even live for another second.

But Grand Elder Harrison wasn't the only one having a rollercoaster of emotions at this point.

Patriarch Nolan was still in shock at the arrival of Winton and Gavin's father.

"Pa...Patriarch Jarrod. How are you still alive?

My father, he'd said that he'd seen you poisoned with his own eyes!

You should be dead!"

seeing the disbelief on Nolan's face Grand Patriarch Jarred couldn't help but laugh
