Jared simply grinned at them like a predator eyeing its prey.
Venom Fiend then channeled his poison magic and began counting down silently for the moment that Jared would bleed from all orifices and die a horrible death.
The looks on the faces of all three Fiends changed a moment later when they saw Jared being perfectly fine even after the poison had taken effect.
In fact, he still had that gleeful smile on his face as he stood before them.
“That’s impossible! No one could possibly survive a poisoning of this degree!” Venom Fiend exclaimed in shock.
Even the top three warriors on the Gem List would die or at least suffer from the poisons’ effects, but Jared looked absolutely peachy.
“Poisons don’t work on me!”
Jared said with a smirk as he channeled his energy and excreted the poisons from his body.
Hiss…
Smoke was everywhere as the ground sizzled and turned black when the hundreds of poisons came into contact with it.
“Impossible! How could you have instantly excreted all of my poisons like that?”
Venom Fiend found it absolutely unbelievable.
Even Leonidas who ranks first on the Gem List might not be able to pull off such a feat, so how is this guy able to do so? This doesn’t make any sense!
Ghost Fiend, on the other hand, seemed to have understood something.
“I think it has something to do with his physical state!”
“You mean… He has that legendary physical state that’s immune to poison?” Blood Fiend asked.
The Fiends were right about Jared’s physical state being the issue.
Because his body was made up of pure energy instead of flesh and bone, poisons had no effect on him whatsoever as he could just excrete them instantly.
“Die!”
Jared’s expression turned vicious as he charged at them.
“Retreat! We’re no match for him! We’ll die if we continue this fight!” Ghost Fiend shouted.
Escaping from Jared would’ve been impossible for anyone else, but Ghost Fiend’s illusion magic was top-notch.
With a Secrecy Spell, he was able to have the three of them vanish before Jared’s eyes within a second.
“Damn it!” Jared could only shout in frustration as he watched the three of them disappear.
Those three were obviously members of the Seven Fiends! Imagine the fame and glory I would receive if I were able to slay them…
“Hmph! I won’t let you rescue Zoey, Levi! I’m bringing the experiments ahead of schedule regardless of whether you survive the battle!” Jared muttered under his breath as he returned to the training base.
He even told The Cardinal Hall about the Seven Fiends and urged them to press on with their search.
Despite having escaped with their lives, the three Fiends soon found themselves in a dire situation as Blood Fiend was in critical condition.
“Hurry up and find me some fresh blood! I won’t make it past tonight otherwise!”
According to Blood Fiend, fresh blood was the only thing that could save him from death.
“Where on earth are we going to find that?” Venom Fiend asked anxiously.
“Just kill anyone you see and take their blood!” Ghost Fiend urged him.
“No, don’t! Have you guys forgotten Levi’s last instruction? He forbade me from killing the innocent! We can either use man-made blood or animal blood! Just make sure you guys don’t kill anyone!” Blood Fiend said in a weak voice.
Venom Fiend nodded. “All right, I understand. I’ll go get you some animal blood, then!”
Such was the power of Levi’s name, as the Fiends would no longer kill innocent people even though he was only the Fiery Demon’s heir when he gave them the order.
Eventually, his ways would be imprinted into them, and the Fiends would slowly turn good.
Jared told Zoey with a smile upon returning to the training base, “Levi is currently being attacked by our men and will not survive the battle! He sent some guys over to rescue you earlier, but I fought them all off!”
“What? He sent people to rescue me?” Zoey asked in surprise and disbelief.
“Don’t worry, no one can save you, so you’re staying here with me! I’ll begin the experiments very soon, so you can forget about escaping this place!”
Jared had decided to carry out the experiments as soon as possible to play it safe and avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
“You’re a monster!” Zoey shouted angrily.
