Chapter 462 Backup Plan
Elizabeth's eyes grew colder after hearing Xavier's words. Sure enough, her death in the past life was something they had planned all along. They had even divined the exact time of her death.
She sneered, "Is it wrong if I don't follow your plans? Do you think too highly of yourselves? Today, I can not only ensure that I won't die, but I can also ensure that Ethan won't live long. And you won't escape either."
Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. "You, you!" Elizabeth, even at this moment, kept saying things that made him uncomfortable.
Xavier's face turned grim. He snorted, "Do you think you can walk out of here today? The formation was broken by you, but do you think I don't have other plans?" He pointed to the ground. The surroundings began to shake, and a crack suddenly appeared, from which thick, evil energy began to seep out.
Zachary frowned at the sight. "So you can control this pit of evil energy at will."
Elizabeth glanced at the crack on the ground and said, "He must be using something to control this pit of evil energy."
Xavier said coldly, "Whether I'm using something or not, today is your death day. Otherwise, why would I waste time fighting you in the formation and talking so much nonsense? It was just to buy time." He needed time to bring the pit of evil energy from underground.
However, he hadn't expected Elizabeth to calculate against them like that before, and her strength to increase so quickly. He was also worried that Zachary would keenly discover the pit of evil energy, so he hadn't used it.
Now, to kill the two of them, Xavier couldn't care less. His Destiny Pearls had been destroyed, and he wouldn't live long either. Only by taking Zachary's physique could he continue to live. Unfortunately, Ethan was destined to die. So Xavier had to kill Elizabeth to quell his hatred.
Being swallowed by this pit of evil energy, even the highest level of diviners wouldn't survive for three days. Therefore, Xavier was confident that he could kill Elizabeth and take Zachary's physique.
Zachary looked at the pit of evil energy that was getting closer to them with some apprehension. This thing gave him a very dangerous feeling. He asked Elizabeth, "Shall we join forces to kill him and seal this crack of evil energy?"
Before Elizabeth could respond, Xavier laughed. "Mr. Murphy, you are too naive. I spent so much time bringing the pit of evil energy here, do you think I would let you seal it so easily? As long as I am alive, I can continue to use the pit of evil energy against you."
He added, "Besides, do you think killing me is that easy? If you obediently commit suicide and hand over your body, you can avoid some torture."
Zachary ignored him and looked at Elizabeth. Seeing Elizabeth still calm and composed, he felt that she had something up her sleeve.
Elizabeth gave Zachary a reassuring look. "Don't worry, Zachary. If he has a backup plan, do you think I wouldn't?"
Frowning, Xavier snorted, "If you have a backup plan, just use it already. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have the chance." However, his whole body tensed up in a defensive posture. Elizabeth often did unexpected things.
Elizabeth chuckled. "You were stalling for time just now, and I actually want to thank you for that. Because I was stalling for time too."
She suddenly asked, "Do you look down on people of our time?"
Xavier was puzzled and replied disdainfully, "I do look down on them, why, do you have a problem with that? People of your time, technology is getting more advanced, but sorcery is becoming more and more obsolete. Too reliant on high-tech, experiencing too little, so you are easily manipulated and controlled by us."
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "So you look down on high-tech?"
Xavier nodded. "Yes, you observed that well." He prided himself on his sorcery. Modern guns and cannons didn't scare him; he could easily avoid them.
Elizabeth clapped her hands and laughed. "Alright, then let you experience real technological weapons. Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alaric led Percy and others into the tomb chamber.
Xavier looked at Alaric and the others with disdain. He sneered, "You want them to deal with me? Elizabeth, are you stupid?" He didn't underestimate these people. Dealing with them was as easy as crushing a few ants. And he had actually noticed Alaric and the others standing at the tomb chamber entrance a few minutes ago.
Elizabeth turned to Alaric. "He looks down on you. Show him how technology can defeat his proud sorcery." After reuniting with Zachary, she had contacted Alaric and activated the locator on her phone, allowing Alaric and the others to find their way here. So when she realized Xavier was stalling for time, she didn't stop him but deliberately stalled even longer. Just to give Alaric and the others time to arrive.
She had noticed before that the more powerful the diviner, the more they looked down on modern technology. Indeed, bullets and shells couldn't deal with them. They even believed that even powerful weapons needed to lock onto them to fire. In that time, they could easily move and dodge. So they always looked down on these things.
To deal with someone like Xavier, Elizabeth had to use what he despised the most to defeat him. The most crucial part was that she and Zachary could have easily killed Xavier without even lifting a finger, which would have become a permanent thorn in his heart. Even in death, he would never have found peace, and that was the most excruciating torment. Just killing Xavier was too simple; it wouldn't quell her hatred.
Elizabeth's words made Xavier feel incredibly amused. He laughed out loud. "Elizabeth, it seems I overestimated you before. Young people like to fantasize and dream unrealistic dreams. Want to kill me with high-tech weapons? What a joke."
He took out a few Rune stones from his pocket and played with them. He smirked, "Then come on, let me see how powerful your so-called weapons are. I wonder if their bullets are faster, or my Rune stones are faster." He was confident that before these people could fire, he could use the Rune stones in his hand to cut off their shooting hands.
