Chapter 1455 Perish Together
A look of fearful reverence was visible in the eyes of those who laid their sights upon the armor on Renee’s body as they basked in that holy glow.
Even Jared was rather surprised at the sudden turn of events. I didn’t expect this normal-looking armor to be this powerful! That sent Edgar into a panic. Speedily, he activated his magecraft to attack once more.
Despite his efforts, no black mist emerged again. Even the black glow on his body was nowhere to be seen. On top of that, his aura had dwindled immensely.
Edgar shouted for help in his mind, trying to ask the spirit inside his body what was going on. Alas, his attempt was for naught as he heard no response.
A ghastly scowl set on his face, and his body trembled involuntarily. Apprehension and shock surfaced in the merman statue’s eyes the moment it saw the white armor.
“What’s going on, Jared?” Renee asked, dazed. It was as though she was disoriented earlier as she was unable to recall what had just transpired.
“It’s fine. You just need to stay on the sidelines. No need to feel scared,” Jared comforted softly. She nodded as her armor gradually faded from everyone’s sight.
Staring at her disappearing armor, Zion was enraged. So that’s why my kick didn’t injure her earlier! That armor has to be an exceptional magical item! I must have it!
Zion was eager to snatch that armor right away and would have done so if he could.
Just as the crowd was still bathing in that holy glow, Jared comforted Renee before beginning his assault on Edgar.
Edgar’s expression shifted drastically as he dodged backward.
Despite his attempt, Jared was too fast. A golden light streaked through the air as his mighty punch landed on Edgar’s chest, launching his enemy into the air.
Bang!
Edgar smashed into the throne and was promptly flung away by the arcane array.
That powerful impact significantly weakened the arcane array once more.
With a pale face, Edgar struggled to crawl up from the ground. Fury burned in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Without the spirit, his strength was no match for Jared’s.
Looking at Edgar’s wretched state, Jared ambled toward him and sneered, “Is that all you got? Didn’t you want to turn me into a mummy?”
A terrified look was present in Edgar’s eyes as he stared at Jared. Experiencing the aura coming from his enemy, his body then began to twitch.
Instinctively, Edgar turned his sight to Zion, hoping the latter would rescue him.
“No one can save you today.” Jared unleashed a palm strike in Edgar’s direction.
“Stop!”
Refusing to let Edgar die in Jared’s hands, Zion leaped into the air and sent a kick flying toward Jared, forcing his target to retreat.
“Save me, President Zeigler!” Hastily, Edgar hid behind Zion.
Jared’s icy stare fixed on Zion. “You alone can’t save him, Zion.”
“Maybe not, but don’t forget, I have help.” Just as Zion ended his sentence, Salvador surrounded Jared with three other people.
They believed the strength in their numbers was sufficient enough to defeat Jared.
Jared narrowed his eyes by a fraction. “Just you five alone can’t kill me. At the very least, we’ll just have to perish together!”
With a darkened expression, Zion spoke. “Who says there’s only five of us?”
