Chapter 748: Time for Reckoning (2)
Jacob looked at agitated Sebastian, and the old man had a great resemblance to his own face; there was doubt that he was the father of the original body owner, Adolph Edgar.
However, Sebastian's heart was in chaos under Jacob's silent stare, and he suddenly forced a smile before he said, "S-Sir, I want you to know that whoever offended you, I have nothing to do with it. The temple is a free organization; we can't control other actions. Still, if we are dissatisfied with something or someone, I'll do everything in my power to change it or punish the person who was blind enough to offend you."
How could Sebastian have any thoughts of tricking or negotiating with the other party when he knew from his ancestor, Sylas, just what kind of being he was standing in front of him truly was!
Even his ancestor was afraid of him. Although he had done everything to placate Jacob's fury against the Faeries, it seemed it was still not enough, and Sebastian really wanted to torture the man who had brought this calamity upon him.
Jacob suddenly chuckled in amusement when he heard Sebastian's words. He really didn't care about the Faeries or Sebastian, and he had already gotten what he wanted from Sylas, yet there were still some unanswered questions he wanted to know before the matter with Adolph was resolved.
Furthermore, from what he had gathered, Sebastian should've been dead long ago since a Faery Human's life span of Inception Legend Body Rank was around 5000 years while a Quasi Legend Faery Human could live for 10,000 years.
But Sebastian had been alive for over 5,000 years now and was brimming with strength, and Jacob didn't detect any traces of Dark Alchemy use on Sebastian. Even Sylas had missed this detail. In fact, since Sebastian had little presence and usually didn't appear in public for many years, he was very easy to overlook.
That's why Jacob was sure that there was something with this old man, and Adolph's appearance when he crossed over was proof of that, and there were still many questions unanswered.
That's why the moment Sebastian appeared here, he was already gone, and it was only a matter of time now.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was panicking now since he didn't know what to do in this situation. Should he just reveal the truth? But he knew he would die the moment he said certain something. However, the person in front of him can kill him as well.
"I...I want t..." Sebastian had just opened his mouth to explain, but the very next moment, something out of Jacob's widest expectation happened.
"Boom!"
Sebastian's head suddenly explode like a balloon, spreading his brain fragments and gore everything, even Jacob just stood there, rooted in his place as some blood and brain matter fall on his body, he was completely bewildered.
At this moment, from one of the brain fragments, something extremely fine and small wiggled, and Autarch crawled its way out of the brain matter.
But what shocked Jacob even more was Autarch's body, which was missing 10% of its original length, and his previously pristine shell had faint cracks.
Horrified, Jacob quickly retracted Autarch in hand with his soul force, and he could feel
Autarch's was weakened and extremely weak.
"What happened?" Jacob asked with a hint of disbelief. It was his first time seeing Autarch fail
and get wounded like this, and it all happened when he ordered him to turn Sebastian into his puppet to get answers.
At his moment, an invisible fear suddenly gripped his heart!
