The Man’s Decree

On the other hand, Maurice led a group of men, ready to pursue Dario and his team. Just as Jared had taken a few steps behind the man, a smirk suddenly played at the corner of his lips. His listless eyes glinted with a hint of chilling coldness!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Dragonslayer Sword appeared in Jared’s hand, followed swiftly by a powerful strike. With a single slash, the man walking ahead was abruptly beheaded.

The man barely had time to react.

He had always assumed that Jared was under control. Hence, he let his guard down. Never did the man imagine that Jared was only pretending.

“What a bunch of dumb*sses. You’ve been tricked. You seriously thought a few mere demonic souls could control me? What a joke!” Jared yelled at Maurice, then, with a swift kick, the former sent the man’s head rolling right to Maurice’s feet.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Maurice was about to lead his men to pursue Dario and his group. However, upon hearing Jared’s voice, he turned around. Just then, a dark shadow lunged at him.

Maurice reached out, only to discover that he was holding the severed head of one of his men.

After giving Maurice a dismissive smirk, Jared disappeared.

Maurice was absolutely livid.

The demonic souls that he had painstakingly nurtured did not inflict any harm on Jared.

Instead, it was Jared who deceived him, striking down his subordinate with a single swing of the sword.

“You brat! I’m going to kill you!” Maurice roared in fury and darted toward Jared.

Seeing the situation, the disciples of the Ghost Mask Sect also followed suit.

Jared unleashed Blazing Stride, rapidly pursuing Dario and his group.

If it were only up to the elders, they probably wouldn’t have been able to stop Harlan and his group at all.

The people from Duad Formation Sect were there too. They were masters of arcane arrays. If they set up an array, Dario and the elders would not be able to break it.

Jared swiftly pursued in the direction of Dario and his group.

When Jared finally caught up with Dario and the others, he found that they were all stopped by a river of lava in front of them.

Looking at the flowing lava, Jared was surprisingly filled with excitement. After all, the lava contained the fire of the earth’s core.

Jared was capable of absorbing the fire within the magma, thereby enhancing his fire of the Earth’s core.

However, Jared simply didn’t have the time to slowly absorb it at that moment.

Seeing Jared had caught up, Juliet asked with concern, “Axel, are you unwell?”

“I’m fine, Juliet.” Jared shook his head, then asked, “Can’t we leap over this river of lava?”

“It’s impassable. Just a moment ago, one of the disciples tried to cross. He was instantly devoured by the fierce flames. The fire within this river of lava is far too intense,” Dario said to Jared.

Jared studied the river of magma carefully. If he had the time, he could have absorbed all the fire within it. Unfortunately, he did not have the luxury of using his time to do that at the moment.

The members of the Ghost Mask Sect were on their way. They should be catching up any moment.

Jared tried to approach the river of molten lava. As he drew closer, the river abruptly erupted, sending a massive burst of flames into the air.

At that, Juliet loudly cautioned Jared, “Axel, be careful!”

However, the flames did not pose any harm to Jared. After all, he had already refined the fire of the Earth’s core. Even if he were to immerse himself in magma at that moment, it wouldn’t have affected him significantly.

Jared was able to cross the river of magma unscathed, but how the others were to cross it was a problem.

Just as Jared was at a loss, a sudden idea struck him. Following that thought, a burst of white flame began to dance in the palm of his hand.

Following that, Jared carefully cast the white flame into the river of magma. In an instant, the lava within the river of magma ceased its flow. Even the rising flames stopped flickering.

Everyone who witnessed the scene stared at Jared in shock. They couldn’t comprehend how Jared managed to pull it off.

Noticing everyone was in a daze, Jared urged, “Hurry up and get through. I can’t hold on much longer!”
