To everyone’s surprise, Jared merely stared straight ahead, showing no intention of stopping Alex.
Gilbert glanced at Jared. Seeing that Jared did not move, he stayed put as well, but deep down, he was confused as to why Jared remained still.
“Mr. Chance, please save Princess Anne!” When Andrew saw that Jared was not doing anything, he began begging the latter.
“Tsk! You made the decision to betray your own princess, and now you’re asking us to save her? You’re no different than a prostitute asking for a monument of chastity!” Flaxseed spat at Andrew in disdain.
Flaxseed absolutely despised traitors like Andrew. Even though the latter might not understand the metaphor he used, Flaxseed still wanted to mock him.
Andrew lowered his head in shame. He was well aware that some mistakes could not be forgiven. By then, Alex was already standing on top of the altar, mumbling under his breath. It looked as though he was chanting a spell.
In the next second, he pierced the ground in front of Anne with his scepter. The gemstone on the scepter emitted a radiant blue beam that shot straight into the clouds. Rumble…
The ground began to shake as the beams surrounding the altar began spinning faster and faster. Terrifying auras started to emerge from beneath the ground. Everyone was petrified. “Hahaha!” Alex’s maniac laughter filled the air.
Anne, who was tied to the stone pole, found her attempts of breaking free to be futile. In the end, she could only toss Jared a look of helplessness.
Why isn’t Jared rescuing me? Soon, a black fog rose from the underground. Horrifying creatures with claws and fangs started to form amidst the fog.
The spirits gathered around the altar. Within. seconds, the altar was clouded by a black mist, obscuring the view of everyone below the altar.
Terror was etched on Joel’s face as he slumped onto the ground, muttering to himself, “The demons have arrived… The demons are here…”
“What demons? Like I said, these are just spirits and negative energy” Flaxseed regarded the black mists with utter disdain. “Such great stuff. I shall welcome it.”
With that being said, Jared leaped into the air. Just as the men in black were about to stop Jared, Gilbert sent them flying with just a slap. Soon, Jared landed on top of the altar.
Anne face contorted viciously as the black mist rushed into her body. Holding on to the remaining sanity left within her, Anne cried out to Jared, “Jared, kill me! Kill me now! I don’t want to become a demon!”
Upon hearing her request, Jared chuckled. “Even if you want to become a demon, you can’t. These are not even demons to begin with.” Jared then made his way to Anne..
Infuriated when Jared ignored him, Alex roared, “You b*stard! The demons have arrived, and yet you still have the gall to be so boastful? I’ll kill you!”
Alex thrust the sword in his hand at Jared. Jared rose his hand and slapped the incoming blade. The sheer force of his slap was enough to break the sword in two.
A powerful wave of rebound energy was inflicted on Alex’s wrist, causing him to clench his teeth in pain. Alex froze and gaped at Jared in horror, no longer daring to move.
Jared walked toward Anne. Placing a hand on top of Anne’s head, he activated Focus Technique. Subsequently, all of the negative spirits in Anne’s body were sucked out by Jared.
Within seconds, color returned to Anne’s cheeks, and she recovered. As that scene unfolded before him, Alex could not believe his eyes.
What sort of witchcraft did he use to suck out all of the spirits from Anne’s body so effortlessly? And how is it possible that he seems to be completely unaffected by the spirits entering his body?
