Chapter 1454 Goddess
Jared had no other choice but to use the Nascent Soul to restore his spiritual energy at that point. Noticing that Jared’s aura had recovered, Zion scowled.
After helping Renee up, Jared gazed at Edgar. “Didn’t you say you want to absorb my abilities? Feel free to do it now. We’ll see who’s the one turning into a mummy first.”
Murderous intent exploded from Jared’s body. He was furious at Edgar for forcing him to waste a Nascent Soul. Edgar’s expression darkened further. He wasn’t sure if he could defeat Jared, who was back in peak condition.
“Save your arrogance, Jared. Don’t forget; I’m not the only one here. Even if you have fully recovered, we still have the numbers to kill you easily.” Then he turned to look at Zion.
Even though he didn’t utter a single word, he was unquestionably asking for assistance with his pleading look.
Zion nodded, acknowledging Edgar’s request, before shooting a glance at Salvador and the others guarding the gate.
Of course, Jared had already noticed the looks his enemies were sending to each other. It seems like they’re trying to pull the same trick! If they think I’m afraid, then they’re horrendously wrong!
“Come on!” He took one step forward, his terrifying aura engulfing the palace.
Without delay, Edgar also unleashed all of his aura.
Salvador led the other three to surround Jared.
In a blink of an eye, five terrifying auras were blasted in Jared’s direction.
Jared wore a fearless expression as the golden glow on his body shone brightly, and his aura surged outward even more wildly.
Staring at Salvador, Edgar roared, “Kill him!”
Instantly, Salvador and the others sent their auras flying in Edgar’s direction while Edgar motioned with his hands, causing a black mist to fill the air.
Soon after those auras merged with that black mist, a humanoid figure was formed.
That humanoid figure rushed toward Jared and morphed its appearance to resemble Josephine.
Jared was already prepared for it. With multiple spiritual senses covering his eyes, all he saw was just a blurry shadow clone.
That way, he wouldn’t be affected by the illusion and blunder.
However, Renee, who was standing behind Jared, completely fell for the trap.
“Josephine!” she shouted as she attempted to run forward and hug the illusory Josephine.
When Jared saw that, he quickly stopped her. “That’s not Josephine, Renee! Wake up!”
Then he sent waves of mental energy toward Renee, attempting to pull her out of the illusion, but it was no use.
Her eyes were already unfocused, her expression blank. None of his words entered her ears as she sprinted toward the illusory Josephine.
Just as Jared tried to pull Renee away, he realized it was already too late. The shadow clone had arrived in front of him.
Hugging the illusory Josephine, Renee wailed uncontrollably.
Strangely, the illusory Josephine started struggling with an agonizing wince as though she was fighting for her life.
A gentle white glow gradually radiated from Renee’s body. The light was warm and holy. When its rays landed on someone, it would immediately make that person feel incredibly pleasant.
Then, a set of white armor became visible on her body. It would seem that the white light was emitting from the armor.
“Ah!” The illusory Josephine shrieked before vanishing into thin air.
All the black mist inside the palace was gone, too. At that moment, Renee looked like a goddess, striking fear in those who glimpsed at her.
It was then she woke up from the illusion. Staring at the armor on her body with confusion, she wondered what had happened.
