A Man Like None Other

As Jared was filled with regret and at a loss for what to do, the Golden Tome in his consciousness field suddenly began to shimmer with light.

A flash of white light streaked across, and to Jared’s surprise, he found himself regaining control over his body once again!

And there it was, the soul remnant of Vermilion Demon Lord, returning to the consciousness field and looking around in utter confusion!

The Golden Tome had sensed Jared’s peril, hence it forcibly drove back the soul remnant of Vermilion Demon Lord, enabling Jared to regain control over his body!

“Pfft…”

After regaining control of his body, Jared spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The golden arrow on the Divine Bow swiftly vanished into thin air, and the red patterns that adorned Jared’s body disappeared as well.

Even the terrifying demonic aura vanished without a trace in an instant.

Maurice sensed the transformation within Jared. Upon witnessing Jared coughing up blood and his strength drastically reduced, Maurice instantly understood what was happening!

“Hahaha! You thought you could boost your strength by borrowing the power of a demonic soul, but you never anticipated its backlash. Now, I don’t see how you’ll survive this!”

Maurice’s confidence soared as he laughed heartily.

Following that, a palm strike was directed toward Jared. Jared, however, furrowed his brows and swiftly retreated backward.

“Hmph, I’d like to see where you could run to now…”

Maurice scoffed coldly as he instantly accelerated to his maximum speed and pursued Jared with lethal intent!Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jared had killed so many disciples from the Ghost Mask Sect. There was no way Maurice would let him off the hook!

Otherwise, once he returned, he would have no way to explain it.

Jared had only managed to flee a couple of steps before he came to a halt. The reason was simple. He was now standing before a magma river.

Jared cast a glance at the magma river. The river was so deep that its bottom was out of sight. At that moment, it was flowing rapidly, with flames constantly surging skyward.

Seeing Maurice catching up, Jared had no choice but to throw out the puppet once again!

The puppet, powered by the Fire Spirit Lord’s fire soul essence, engaged in battle with Maurice as soon as it appeared.

Puppets don’t possess life, thus they were fearless.

For a moment, Maurice was engaged in an even match with the puppet.

Jared knew that the puppet wouldn’t last for long. Moreover, there was no way Jared could just stand by and watch the puppet get destroyed.

The fire soul essence must not be lost. If the puppet was destroyed, there was a chance that the fire soul essence could be damaged or even lost!

During this period, Jared racked his brains and contemplated methods to deal with Maurice.

After much consideration, Jared couldn’t come up with any viable solutions. At that moment, Jared had the opportunity to evade the magma river and head straight for the Divine Flame Mountain.

But if he did that, he would lead Maurice to Divine Flame Mountain. Dario and the others would be in danger!

Watching the puppet on the brink of collapse, Jared glanced at the magma river before him. He decided to leap into the magma river as his only means of escape.

All he needed was to get away from Maurice.

With this in mind, Jared beckoned and summoned his puppet back to him.

Maurice looked at Jared, his eyes filled with smugness as he said, “Kid, I wonder where you’ll run off to this time… If you want to look, then go ahead!”

Jared gave a cold, detached laugh. Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he turned and plunged into the magma river.

“F*ck…”

Maurice rushed forward hastily, but Jared’s body had already fallen stiffly into the magma river.

Jared plunged into the magma river, the surrounding heat engulfing him. His sudden dive caused the heat waves within the river to distort and shoot straight up into the sky.

Jared was enveloped by magma as he continuously plummeted deeper into the magma river. As Jared ventured deeper, the intensity of the burning sensation grew stronger and stronger.

Jared had no choice but to desperately head deeper into the unknown. Only then could he escape Maurice’s relentless pursuit.

Jared’s body finally descended to the bottom. Then, he began to walk around at the base of the magma river!

He had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Because Jared was enveloped by the heat wave of magma, it was impossible for Maurice to detect his presence.

However, if Jared remained still here and Maurice jumped down, he would surely be able to find him. Therefore, Jared had to change his location.
