Chapter 3610 Floyd Devours Dead Bodies
The communication device displayed a message: Floyd, come and save me! It was a distress signal from Gloria! Floyd’s spirits lifted instantly.
It’s just as I expected. Gloria is alive! However, she’s also being hunted down and may be in mortal peril at any moment.
He dared not delay any longer and quickly followed the coordinates on the communication device to track her location.
Vaguely sensing that someone seemed to be trailing him, Floyd could not help but quicken his pace.
The feeling that he was being followed finally disappeared after half an hour.
After that, he hastened on a two-hour journey that led him to a dense forest.
“Where on earth is Gloria?”
He quickly searched for signs of Gloria’s aura, and soon, he sensed something.
He ventured into the forest, and it did not take long before he spotted her in a relatively open space.
She’s alive and unharmed!
His head whirled, and the doubt in his heart flashed across his mind.
However, he quickly noticed there were many other people next to her.
A few of them were familiar faces. They looked like they were disciples of West Pavilion.
The doubt in his heart dissipated at once. How else could so many of them have survived? If she were the instigator, it’d only make sense for her to kill as many people as possible.
However, what he did not know was that those people had been friends with Gloria and later chose to submit to her.
Floyd rushed forward and asked, “Gloria, what on earth is going on?”
Glib-tongued, Gloria explained that they had fled to West Pavilion’s secret passage but were still pursued to where they were. Then, taking advantage of their numbers, they killed the mysterious force’s elite fighters, which led to their lucky escape.
Floyd could sense the unstable auras of the people before him, and some of them were particularly weak. They clearly looked as though they had just undergone a fierce battle.
Instantly, he dismissed his doubts.
It’s just as I thought. The truth is nothing like what Phoenix and the rest said. Gloria has nothing to do with this entire incident.
Suddenly, Gloria said, “Floyd, these disciples of West Pavilion just died in battle. It’s a good time to put your devouring technique to use.”
Her words shocked him. He had not expected her to make such a request.
How could I dare to devour another person’s powers?
Gloria cursed at him inwardly when she saw him hesitate. What a loser! How will he achieve great things if he can’t even be a little cruel?
But because of that, it also ignited a deep-seated excitement within Gloria to guide him to the dark side.
“Floyd, do you know how these people bullied me before they died? I would’ve attacked them if they weren’t disciples of the same faction. Now that a mysterious force has killed them, I’m merely borrowing their skills. That’s not asking too much, is it?”
Noticing him wavering, she decided to strike while the iron was hot. “Didn’t you say you’d continue to become stronger to protect me? The opportunity is in front of you now, yet you don’t cherish it. I’m disappointed in you, Floyd.”
She put on a dejected expression as she spoke.
“Don’t be sad, Gloria. I’ll do as you say.”
In the end, Floyd chose to relent as he could not bear seeing her miserable.
Moreover, he could not help thinking about how the elite disciples of West Pavilion had denigrated Gloria in every way and uttered many unpleasant remarks.
Floyd could not help feeling somewhat resentful as those thoughts crossed his mind.
After an intense internal conflict, he finally activated the technique and devoured the deceased’s powers.
He could not help resisting a little at first. However, after devouring the powers of several people, he became adept at doing it.
In fact, he started getting a heady feeling from becoming stronger through devouring.
Everyone soon heard the news that West Pavilion had been completely destroyed, and those in the Ecclesiastic Order and the Holy Guild were scared out of their wits.
They could not help worrying whether the tragedy of having their entire faction wiped out would befall them soon.
After all, the mysterious force’s strength was simply too terrifying.
Hence, everyone could not wait for the Minister’s return.
