Chapter 5435
“Are you looking down on the members of the Dieux Academy?"
Lemuel took a few steps forward and released his aura. As he activated the sixth stage of
the Feimsurge Art, Lemuel channeled an immense wave of aura in Halianor's direction.
With the powers of the Feimsurge Art, Lemuel's aura was enhanced to the point where it
had even surpassed the potency of Halianor's aura.
"I have no intention of interfering in your act of revenge against James Caden. However, I
have previously received guidance from a cultivator belonging to the Temple of
Theognostos. Therefore, I can't just let you take James away against his will."
Lemuel knew James' story about Theognostos was all a bluff.
However, it was the only way left for Lemuel to use the story to keep the Yefteros wary
and buy James more time.
Meanwhile, Lemuel had extended his aura to cover the entire area of the Dieux Academy.
His aura was strong enough to withstand the attack from Halianor's formation if the latter
decided to activate it.
After listening to Lemuel’s words, Halianor gave a snort.

“Alright. I’ll go with you," James started.
James did not want to see Lemuel fight Halianor just to protect him. If that were to
happen, it would certainly turn the Dieux Academy into a target for the Yefteros.
Frankly, Lemuel was the only competent cultivator in the Dieux Academy who stood a
chance against those from the Dark World. He would not be able to protect all the
academy's members with his powers alone.
On the contrary, Halianor was simply one of the many skilled cultivators who served the
Yeftero Race. The Yefteros could always dispatch more cultivators to take down the Dieux
Academy.
As James pretended to agree to Halianor's demands, he silently produced a
Boundarybreaker Rune.
When he sensed Halianor seemed to have let down his guard a little, James crushed the
rune and activated its powers. James was instantly enveloped in the powers of the
Boundarybreaker Rune, and he vanished from the spot right away.
“Do you really think you can run away from me?”
Halianor's expression hardened. He lifted his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.
At the same time, James was transported to a distant location with the powers of the
Boundarybreaker Rune.
However, a gigantic hand appeared out of a crack in the void behind James the next
instant, and it caught him.
The hand was slowly moving back into the crack and pulling James along to transport him
back to the Dieux Academy at the Central Plane.
Just then, a powerful energy was generated and unleashed from James’ body as it
detected overwhelming pressure coming from that huge hand.
The iron grip clutching over James' body loosened for a split second due to the shock.
During that short amount of time, James used another Boundarybreaker Rune and
teleported away from that spot.
The gigantic hand tried to grab at James again, but it missed this time. Instead, the hand's
powerful grip destroyed the surrounding space almost instantaneously.
On the other hand, James tore a few more Boundarybreaker Runes and teleported to a
completely foreign-looking area. Then, he quickly concealed his aura to prevent leaving
any trace.

Back at the Dieux Academy, Halianor had pulled back his arm. He appeared extremely
annoyed as he cursed aloud," Darn it!”
Lemuel gave a small sigh of relief as he saw that James managed to make his escape.
He turned his eyes to Halianor and said flatly, "Sir Halianor, I think you need to reconsider
whether you should catch James Caden. You might be putting the entire Yeftero Race at
risk."
"The Yeftero Race may be the strongest group among the Dark World's Four Ancient
Races. However, the Dark World
is a vast place with many unexplored areas. There may be things that the Yefteros are still
unaware of."
Lemuel seemed much more relaxed now compared to how he was just a few minutes ago.
He could tell Halianor had traveled to the Dieux Academy for James. The man showed no
aggression toward those from the Dieux Academy.
Halianor stopped releasing his aura in overpowering amounts. Then, he slowly lowered
himself to the ground just outside the entrance to the Dieux Academy's main hall.
Lemuel materialized next to him.
"What is it now? Do you want to stay around and have a tour of our academy?" Lemuel
cast Halianor a sidelong glance.
