Meanwhile, Skylar stared at Evangeline, his eyes filled with bewilderment. How can a retard who doesn’t exude any aura rescue Jared from the arcane array with such ease?
The answer eluded Skylar. Snap out of it. Even if Jared isn’t imprisoned, you still hold the sacred martial arts relic and are capable of killing him. Do it now! The spirit within Skylar’s body reminded him.
After he was jolted back to his senses, the scepter in his hand began to glow, unleashing a terrifying aura in the process. Just the aura alone was enough to pressure a Martial Arts Marquis into throwing out blood and dying.
The moment he sensed the massive power of the aura, Jared scowled in response. Nevertheless, he knew that now wasn’t the time to go all out with Skylar. With Josephine locked in a dungeon again, saving her that day was no longer possible.
Therefore, he had to survive, for his death. would snuff out any chance of Josephine’s. rescue. With that thought in mind, Jared leaped into the air to flee.
Obviously, Skylar wasn’t going to give him the opportunity. Brandishing the scepter in his hand, he unleashed a devastating force to overwhelm Jared.
Gritting his teeth, Jared didn’t dare slow down one bit. All he could do now was to pray that he could survive the sacred martial arts relic’s attack.
Boom! Following a thunderous rumble, powerful shockwaves were unleashed in every direction!
Prepared to be grievously injured by the massive attack, Jared was surprised when he
didn’t feel anything at all.
“What’s going on?”
Filled with curiosity, he turned around to look.
He was immediately greeted by the sight of Evangeline following him from behind. It was evident that she had shielded him from the attack.
Shocked by the turn of events, Jared quickly examined Evangeline’s body. There was no way .he could allow her to be killed after Chester had instructed him to look after her.
Upon scrutinizing her quickly, he realized that she was unscathed. Other than that, she just stood there with the same listless look in her eye.
Meanwhile, Skylar was dumbfounded by the sight. “H-How is this possible?”
That was the power of a sacred martial arts relic! Even though it’s weaker than the true power of a Martial Arts Saint, the difference isn’t big. How could it have failed to physically harm an ordinary person?
The devastating force unleashed just now was enough to cause a Martial Arts Marquis to explode into mush, and yet, it didn’t even land a scratch on Evangeline.
Upon realizing that Evangeline was significantly tougher than he had imagined, Jared broke into a smile.
Back when Chester told him about how hardy Evangeline’s body was, Jared was skeptical, for there were few in this world who possessed a physical body more durable than his.
However, he didn’t need any more convincing after watching her display her prowess.
It also led him to wonder if it had something to do with her body being constantly exposed to Preservation Incense.
“If only she could regain her presence of mind and follow my instructions.”
Jared stared at Evangeline, his mind filled with hope. If she was capable of obeying Jared, they would have been able to rescue Josephine just now.
“Skylar, just you wait. It’s just a matter of time before I take your life.”
No sooner had he spoken than Jared continued to flee. With Evangeline covering his rear, there was nothing left for him to fear.
“Jared, your delight is premature, as I’m not going to let you off the hook!”
With that, Skylar’s scepter glowed with greater intensity before an even more powerful aura was released.
Sensing the impending attack, Jared picked up his pace, for fear that Evangeline wasn’t strong enough to withstand it. “How dare you flee…”
Just as he spoke, Skylar hurled the scepter in Jared’s direction.
