Chapter 211 - The Great Elder's Sneak Attack Part 2

The elders of the Epstein Family that were very well versed with energy, through their research, suddenly sensed a surge of evil energy, but before they could react, the great elder had already unleashed the attack.

The great elder was too focused on activating the attack that he didn't realise who had stood behind his target to protect him, and although the attack was extremely fast and powerful, it would only harm whoever the attack landed on.

??

'That bastard took my wife, my father in law and now he wants to take my son. Not on my watch' thought William to himself after seeing the great elder's palm aimed at Cole.

Although he had lost all of his cultivation, he was already stood beside his son and in a bid to save his son's life, sensing a hint of killing intent from the great elder, he was able to get behind his son before the great elder fired his attack.

If he had fired the attack even a high level Advanced Cultivator would find it difficult to evade it, let alone block it or help somebody else evade it, so the great elder was quite sure that he would be able to get rid of Cole.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness after destroying his body through the attack, the great elder opened his eyes to see the effects of the evil skill he had used, but didn't know how to react when he was that Cole was fine and William was on the ground.

He had sacrificed a lot of his lifespan and almost destroyed his cultivation to get rid of Cole, but even then he wasn't able to get rid of him and the great elder's rage merely caused his body more damage.

The great elder didn't want to give up, but at that point, it was clear to him that it wasn't meant to be and he couldn't help but curse his luck as he suddenly rushed to escape.

He was still unwilling to die and lose the one thing that was more valuable than anything else, but in the state that he was in, even a low level Novice Cultivator would be able to catch him, as he was suddenly grabbed by one of the elders that saw what had happened.

Cole turned around after sensing the sudden surge of evil energy that was an extremely large amount of energy and found his father on his knees, clearly on the verge of death.

He didn't know what evil energy was, but he sensed that it was an energy that was frightening and different to the one he was used to seeing. The only words that came to mind to describe it were monstrous, demonic and scary. 

There wasn't any obvious injures on his father's body, but he was visibly dying as his body began to shrivel and his pupils became dilated.

"Father" exclaimed Cole worriedly as he caught his brother in his arms before he fell backwards on his head.

His body had lost all its strength and vitality in an instant and every second that passed, was a painful second for William as he neared his death.

"Call a medic" screamed Cole who wasn't ready to see his father die after coming so far and wanted his father to see his accomplishments and be proud of him.

"There is no point son, I am going to die here and will join your mother...." uttered William before coughing madly and coughing up large curdles of blood.

"Father you cannot die yet" screamed Cole as he placed his fingers on his father's pulse to find that it was barely beating.

"Son this is the end of the line for me..... But before I die, I wanted to leave you a new purpose. Be happy and protect those that you care about and enjoy yourself. You have a large responsibility, but that is also a gift as you can leave your mark on the world and make me and your mother proud" stated William before his eyes closed and his body lost all life.

"We will be watching" were William's final words.

Within a few seconds, William's flesh was completely consumed and within a minute, not even his bones were left.

Cole was on his knees beside where his father died and watching as his father's body turn to ash before his eyes as tears streamed down his face.

The elders, Wayde and Angela didn't know what to do to comfort him as the arena that was previously loud and active, suddenly fell silent.

It was a traumatic and gruesome thing to watch, even seeing the tissue and muscles of his father's body slowly be consumed by the evil energy, then even his skeleton.

After his father's body was completely gone, Cole stood up and wiped the tears that were on his face as everybody awaited what he was going to say.

It was only when William was about to die that he realised that he had been living his life wrong and that he held on to previous grievances too much. He left his son the purpose that he wished he had during his life and he wanted his son to live happily even without his parents, as he had created a family of his own with his friends.

Remembering his father's last words and the smile that he had on his face despite dying, Cole didn't cry any longer and didn't want his father's death to hold him back, just like his father had hoped.

William's death was extremely painful, but on his face, only happiness was present as he died and he didn't want his son's last few seconds to be ones that were negative.

Cole seeing all the elders of his family around him, returned to his usual confident demeanour and knew that it was the perfect chance to show his suitability for the family head position.

"My father has passed away and given me his final wishes. They include leading this family to greatness and I will be fulfilling them all" declared Cole as the elders began to cheer for him.
