Carl's headless body crashed to the ground. Only then did the three Holy Sanctuary Mages snap out of their daze, as if waking from a dream, and realize what had just happened.
Qi Suian had killed Carl with a single punch.
The entire process was just that simple. Even though Carl was a protagonist, he offered no resistance. He was as dead as dead could be.
Carl was a protagonist, and so was Qi Suian. Neither had a home-field advantage. Moreover, Qi Suian's strength and protagonist halo were both superior to Carl's.
With multiple advantages on his side, a one-hit kill was only natural. There was no way a scene where Qi Suian was evenly matched with him, only to eke out a narrow victory in the end, would ever occur.
"I need an explanation from you." The Great Arcanist's tone turned grim in an instant.
The Prophet's face was filled with disbelief. He had confirmed that Carl was a person around whom fate revolved the moment they met.
