A Man Like None Other

“Axel, mind your manners! How can you speak to Mr. Nielsen like that?” Judd quickly reprimanded.

Meanwhile, Arnold’s temper spiked at the insult. “You ungrateful b*stard! Continue then if you want to compete!” Arnold got off the arena, reactivating the array.

At that point, Judd and Carla were thrown into a panic.

Thiago’s lips curved into a sneer. “You’re digging your own grave, brat! Since you’re so eager to meet your maker, I’ll be more than happy to oblige!” His hands moved ceaselessly. Wave after wave of intense flames engulfed the entire arena.

Jared was thrilled, standing still while the flames engulfed him.

The more intense this fire source burns, the more of that pale purple flame there seems to be! That way, I can seize the opportunity to try refining this violet fire source.

Jared let out a cry of agony, yet he was smiling and continuously absorbed the violet flames from the fire source.

When his screams carried into Thiago’s ears, it sent him into a frenzy of exhilaration. “Scream more! The louder you scream, the more excited I am!” Glee crossed Thiago’s face as he continually stoked the fire source.

Judd and Carla were beside themselves with worry as they listened to Jared’s distressing screams.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Man, Axel really dug his own grave. He’s a rich kid, but why is he so stupid?” Carla sighed.

What a pity of a wealthy, young man who captures my interest! It’s unfortunate that he isn’t too bright. With his stubbornness to boot, he’s nothing short of a fool!

With a sigh, Judd started thinking of an explanation to Dario.

What was supposed to be a challenge of the inner court disciples had shockingly escalated into a death match.

Everyone watched dumbfounded as the fire source engulfed Jared. Moreover, Jared’s screams were chilling to the bone.

Thirty minutes passed.

Then, an hour passed.

An hour and a half later, sweat started to bead on Thiago’s forehead, and the flames from the demonic black lotus began to weaken.

Yet, Jared’s agonized cry persisted.

So much time had passed, yet he still wouldn’t die and just kept on screaming.

Though his cries were heart-wrenching, there wasn’t the slightest hint of it becoming weaker. It was as resonant as ever.

“Ah, I’m dying! It’s too hot! Stop the fire! I’m dying! If this goes on, I’ll turn to ashes!”

The only difference was that Jared’s cries grew more desperate, but astonishingly, Thiago’s fire source had weakened.

He wished Thiago could hold on a little longer so that the fire source didn’t extinguish so quickly.

Thiago gritted his teeth, feeling like he was on the verge of losing his sanity. However, at that moment, he didn’t want to give up, for Jared was clearly on the brink of death. If he gave up then, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

Thus, Thiago gritted his teeth and persevered, but the fire source within him couldn’t hold out much longer. Especially, the violaceus flame. He hadn’t had much time to refine and master it.

The faint purple fire source was nearly extinguished, and the demonic black lotus couldn’t hold on any longer.

It was important to note that unleashing the demonic black lotus had a significant backlash on Thiago’s body!

Such a long time had passed, and Thiago’s body had already suffered severe damage by then.

After that battle, he would likely need a considerable amount of time to recover.

F*ck! This guy’s already half-dead anyway. Even if the fire doesn’t kill him, I can just beat him to death!

Thiago withdrew his fire source at the thought.

Meanwhile, Jared still screamed in agony, not noticing that Thiago had withdrawn his fire source.

Everyone watched as Jared’s body remained unscathed yet he was writhing and pretending to cry out in agony.

“I’m dying! This fire source is too much! My arm is gone!” Jared shouted.

Thiago was utterly dumbfounded at the sight.

What’s going on? Despite the risk, I’ve suffered a backlash and even revealed the violaceus flame, but why did Axel seem unscathed? Moreover, judging by his behavior, it was clear that he was just putting on an act!
