Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 925

Sebastian turned to Leila and said, "I've already forfeited. What more do you want?"

Leila responded, "You're not allowed to give up so easily. Entering the Forbidden Ground is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't even have the courage to face me, then you're nothing but a coward, unworthy of setting foot in the Forbidden Ground."

"Ms. Leila is right! Cowards like him don't deserve such an opportunity!" voices from the crowd erupted in anger. To them, Sebastian was nothing more than a lucky outsider who had somehow made it into the top ten. Now that he was afraid of facing Leila, his attempt to surrender made him seem like a weakling.

Moreover, many were upset that Sebastian, who wasn't even part of Swordity, had taken one of the coveted spots for the Forbidden Grounds.

Franz also agreed. He said, "The crowd speaks true, Sebastian. If you want entry into the Forbidden Grounds, you must complete every round of the competition. Winning or losing is less important than showing the courage to fight. However, if you wish to withdraw, you may claim your other rewards and leave now."

Sebastian resigned. He looked at Leila and said, "If you want to fight, then fine. I'll give you a match."

Leila said, "Sebastian, I know you're skilled in formations, but I won't give you the chance to use them. I'll show you the difference between us!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Leila made her move. Slowly, she raised her sword above her head, then brought it down in a swift, fierce arc.

In an instant, a blinding wave of sword energy shot toward Sebastian, and its sheer power was enough to tear through anything in its path.

"Ms. Leila is using her full strength right from the start! This brat's dead or severely injured for sure!"

Everyone watching could tell how terrifying that strike was. There was no hesitation and no warm-up. It was an all-out assault aimed to cripple or even kill Sebastian in one blow.

However, Sebastian remained calm. With a quick shift of his body, he dodged the deadly sword energy with precision and ease.

"That movement... his footwork is incredible!" gasps of astonishment spread through the audience.

Frustrated and humiliated, Leila's face flushed with anger. She let out a furious shout, and a brilliant golden aura erupted around her. In an instant, she unleashed her metal-based spiritual energy.

The metal-based spiritual energy disintegrated into particles of golden light, scattering in the wind.

Caught in the backlash of her own attack, Leila stumbled backward.

The force sent her skidding across the platform before she finally lost her footing, tumbling off the edge and falling onto the ground below.

"This… This can't be real! Sebastian just destroyed Leila's Golden Slash like it was nothing!" the person who had initially thought that Sebastian would be dead shouted in disbelief.

"Unbelievable! How did he do that?" others echoed in disbelief.

The entire crowd was stunned, and their eyes were wide as they stared at Sebastian. No one had expected him to not only withstand Leila's ultimate technique but to overpower it with such ease and even send her crashing off the platform in defeat.
