The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1068

Dean sprinted forward, but the wraiths chased relentlessly, their speed rapidly closing the gap between them.

And, to make matters worse, new obstacles emerged ahead. Without hesitation, he grabbed Tyler and threw him toward the danger like a human shield. There was no way Dean could handle all the wraiths on his own, but Tyler's abilities gave them a slim chance.

"Don't worry, Elder Dean! I can control a hundred of them—we'll make it out for sure!" Tyler braced himself confidently and rushed out, thinking he had everything under control.

However, Tyler did not realize that Felix had anticipated this move. The latter muttered with a smirk, "I knew you'd pull something like this."

Just as Tyler was about to use his powers to seize control of the wraiths, Felix appeared out of nowhere. He chuckled coldly and vanished again.

In the blink of an eye, Tyler's confidence shattered as he collapsed in a pool of blood. He was not even an Aetherial Realm martial artist, making him no match for Felix, who eliminated him as easily as crushing an insect.

"Tyler!" Dean and Kendrick's eyes widened in horror, their worst fears becoming reality. They had been so focused on escaping that they had underestimated Felix's ability to move freely among the wraiths.

"How the hell can he move like that? How?" Kendrick roared, coughing up blood as his frustration boiled over.

Yet, there was no one left to answer his questions. The wraiths surrounded them from all directions, ensuring that even Dean stood no chance of survival.

Ten minutes later, Felix strode through the now-silent Maximus Manor, calmly gathering the herbs he needed. Not a single body remained in the courtyard; the wraiths had dragged them all away to be discarded outside of Corpse Town.

The manor, once filled with screams, was now eerily peaceful. It was as if the horrors from earlier had never happened.
