Chapter 2525 Backlash
Finally, Azure Dragon lost consciousness when he failed to stop them.
No one could understand the agony he felt.
Overwhelmed by sorrow, he felt as if his soul was dead.
As time ticked on, half a day quickly passed.
Everyone could feel a massive aura of energy reaching its peak.
In the deep forest not far from the manor, Floyd was still in training.
His tempestuous aura had shot itself into the sky.
At that moment, he felt as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness. As long as he could latch onto it, he would be able to tear the darkness apart.
That was a sign that he had reached the peak of his technique.
Boom!
He finally caught the ray of light.
With a forceful tug, the light quickly tore through the darkness and filled his vision.
However, it then suddenly turned into a giant mouth that attempted to swallow him.
Pfft!
Floyd spewed out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, he finally realized that Levi and Azure Dragon were right.
They would suffer a backlash at the peak of their technique, and it would result in their death.
I was wrong!
However, it was too late for regrets.
Gradually losing consciousness, Floyd began to feel his body lighten. It was as if his soul was trying to separate itself.
Is this the doom that awaits?
At the same time, Kirin, White Tiger, Zoey, Sword Fiend, and the others were having similar experiences.
They had reached the peak of their techniques and were suffering the backlash from it.
One by one, everyone experienced the same phenomenon and the corresponding backlash.
They were also the first batch of warriors who had trained the new era’s techniques to their peaks.
Even though there were others who trained in the same techniques, they didn’t possess the same level of talent or tenacity.
Hence, no one else could reach the peak as quickly as they did.
Thump!
One by one, they collapsed to the ground.
At the last moment, everyone knew that they were wrong.
Even their last words were the same.
“Boss, we owe you an apology!”
Levi’s good intentions were spurned by them.
Soon, the massive aura that surrounded North Hampton disappeared, surprising everyone.
Wasn’t a group of Divine Leaderboard warriors supposed to emerge?
Why did that aura which was at its climax disappear so suddenly?
What’s going on?
Did they all fail?
No one knew the answer.
However, Azure Dragon recognized that all of them had suffered the backlash.
“I am the one responsible for killing them. I did this! It’s all my fault! If only I had validated it earlier, I could’ve stopped this disaster!” Azure Dragon screamed in a maniacal tone.
To him, nothing else could be more catastrophic.
Meanwhile, the Lopez and Black families were surprised that the auras had disappeared entirely.
Hence, they headed to the location for solitary training.
There, they found everyone lying lifelessly on the ground.
“They are dead! They’re all dead!”
“None of them survived!”
“Levi was right! The techniques would cause death once they reached the peak!”
“They have suffered from the backlash!” the crowd exclaimed.
At that moment, the Lopez and Black families were stupefied.
After all, they were also training in the same techniques.
“It’s clear that we need to abandon our techniques. There’s no way we can continue with them.”
No one had expected that Levi failed to stop those that he cared for. Instead, it was the Lopez and Black families that halted their training.
And that was the undeniable truth.
Meanwhile, at Lab of Gods’ secret facility in Oakland City…
“Mr. X, someone has reached the pinnacle of the techniques we fabricated in the ruins, and they have suffered its backlash! Also, we have received the results of our experiment,” the scientists reported to Mr. X.
