After the Demonic Cultivators were pierced through by the torrent of arrows, all that was left were gruesome pools of flesh and blood when the arrows disappeared.
Right then, Jared stared at the devastation while floating in the air, as if he was the Grim Reaper himself.
As for Pablo, his pupils constricted. When the barrage of arrows struck him, Dark Demon Armor had devoured all of them like a bottomless abyss.
Once again, Jared drew Divine Bow and fired another torrent of arrows, triggering a grimace from Pablo. Now that Jared and he were fighting toe to toe, it was a matter of who could go the distance.
Soon, Pablo’s Dark Demon Armor began to experience changes. Its abyss-like darkness was gradually devouring Pablo himself.
In the end, Pablo’s figure could no longer be seen. All that was left was a black hole that gradually vanished into thin air. After observing the turn of events, Jared descended onto the ground, his face extremely pale.
Amidst the eerie silence was the stench of blood that saturated the air. The piles of human flesh and blood on the ground couldn’t be any more revolting. Meanwhile, Jared stood still with a listless look in his eyes, for he wasn’t sure if Pablo was really dead.
His gut told him that Pablo wouldn’t be killed that easily and must have escaped with the help of magecraft.
“Come out…”
Holding Divine Bow, Jared shifted his gaze to where Cameron and the others were hiding. The sharp look in his eyes was still there, for his murderous intent had yet to dissipate.
“Mr. Chance, don’t get the wrong idea. I followed you here because I was worried about your safety.”
Cameron quickly showed himself and explained when he sensed Jared’s murderous intent. Nonetheless, Jared merely gave them a silent yet deadly glare.
In his mind, he was contemplating whether to let the Nesser family live because he was concerned about his secret being let out.
At the same time, he couldn’t bring himself to kill them, coupled with the fact that he was too weak to draw Divine Bow again.
At that moment, Jared’s murderous aura and his frosty expression had caused cold sweat to break out on Cameron’s forehead.
The latter knew the importance of Divine Bow and understood the rationale for Jared’s decision to unveil it only at the end and leave no survivors. With that, a tense atmosphere quickly descended upon the scene.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chance. The Nesser family won’t reveal the fact that you possess Divine Bow. Also, attempting to silence us by killing might not go the way you want to. If you attack us, both sides would only suffer grievous injuries. Even then, it would be hard to tell who might actually come out of it alive,” Skylar said, breaking the awkward silence.
Hearing Skylar highlight his weakness caused Jared to give the former a once-over again. After scrutinizing Skylar for a long time, Jared finally kept Divine Bow away.
“Mr. Nesser, stop following me from now on. It’s dangerous to do so.”
The moment Jared finished, he left without looking back.
Truth be told, Jared was significantly weakened and desperately needed a place to recover. In fact, he thanked his lucky stars to have survived with the help of Divine Bow.
If Divine Bow hadn’t worked, Jared would have had to resign himself to unveil Dragon Bell and hide inside it where a slow and painful death awaited him.
Meanwhile, watching Jared’s leaving silhouette filled Cameron with conflicted emotions.
The sight of Divine Bow had caused him to fall into a dilemma, for even he coveted the ancient divine weapon.
If Jared looked particularly weak, Cameron wasn’t sure if he could stop himself from trying to steal Divine Bow from the former.
“I know you want Divine Bow, but now is not the time. None of us would have survived if you were to have attacked just now,” Skylar commented, cognizant of what was going through Cameron’s mind.
Briefly stunned, Cameron lowered his head in shame after having been seen through by Skylar.
Just a moment ago, he had declared how grateful he was to Jared for saving him, and now, he was already scheming to steal from Jared.
Typical of those in the Ethereal Realm, he had shown how despicable one could be.
