The man chucked the dagger in his hand out. Following a wave of spiritual energy fluctuations, the one blade multiplied into. countless more.
Innumerable daggers cut through the air and headed straight at Jared. With Dragonslayer Sword in hand, Jared remained as calm and unruffled as ever.
Dealing with a Seventh Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator was a piece of cake for him. Even if he were to stay motionless right then, the other person would never be able to break through his defenses.
Sure enough, no sooner had the daggers reached him than they were stopped by the blazing flames and turned into nothingness. After all, his flame was no ordinary blaze but fire nascence from the comprehension of demonic fire.
Thus, such an ordinary weapon could never possibly penetrate the scorching heat of the flames and would instead be immediately vaporized.
When the subordinate of the Zupakie family saw that, his pupils constricted, and utter shock showed on his face.
“What other weapons do you have? Feel free to use them. I’ll salute you if they can penetrate this wall of fire of mine!” Jared drawled disdainfully
The corners of the mouth of the other man twitched, and he retorted with a snort, “Don’t be so smug. I’ll have you know my capabilities!” With that said, he lowered his head and kicked up a rusty and chipped sword from the ground with his foot.
It was evident that the evil spirit within the sword had been eliminated. That was the only reason it materialized. Jared eyed the man dubiously.
He actually wants to use this ancient weapon that hasn’t only lost its weapon soul but has also been damaged, huh? How ridiculous! This antique of a sword is probably going to shatter at the slightest touch!
However, the Zupakie family subordinate muttered some words before biting his finger and beginning to draw runes on the sword. Unbeknownst to Jared, the man was also a charm master who knew all kinds of magecraft.
As blood dripped from the sword, the initially rusty and lifeless weapon seemingly came to life at once. The blade vibrated and emanated a bright glow.
On the heels of that, the servant of the Zupakie family tossed the sword into the sky. It promptly transformed into a ferocious beast that bared its teeth and swooped down at Jared. When Jared saw that, a smirk curved his lips. So, he wants to play magecraft with me? I’ll play along!
A wave of his hand had the flames around him turning into a fire dragon in the blink of an eye. With a roar, it charged toward the ferocious beast. At that sight, the other man’s eyes brimmed with surprise and uncertainty once more.
He had never expected Jared to know magecraft as well. And from the look of things, the latter’s capabilities were no less inferior compared to him. As the fire dragon roared, it spewed out a jet of fire.
Meanwhile, the ferocious beast that was morphed from the sword was engulfed by the flames the instant they came face-to-face. In the end, it was reduced to ashes without a trace left.
By then, the servant of the Zupakie family had started panicking slightly. He hurriedly made hand seals with both hands. A black mist shrouded him, and his body started spinning rapidly.
It seemed that he was planning to use an illusion spell to escape. Just when he was moving quickly and thought that he had successfully fled, a voice slowly rang out overhead.
“I’d advise you not to flaunt such amateur skills before me.”
Derision was written all over Jared’s face. The servant of the Zupakie family jerked his head up, only to be greeted by the sight of Jared looking at him. He inexorably stammered in shock, “Y-You-”
Before he had finished speaking, Jared swung out a hand. In a flash, a burst of flame enveloped him.
“Ahh!” he shrieked in agony. Even so, he continued to make hand seals. Streams of water poured down on him from the sky to extinguish the fire consuming him.
Alas, the fire was not the least bit affected. Witnessing his magecraft, Jared finally understood why Zordey kept him around despite his subpar capabilities.
His magecraft alone made him the cream of the crop in the Ethereal Realm. Regretfully, he wanted to kill Jared. Therefore, he was destined to die a premature death.
