A dark aura enveloped Edgar. In the next second, virtual-novel.net smacked his palm at Jared.
Edgar had almost all of his martial energy in that strike, and the terrifying force shook the entire palace.
Yet, Jared scoffed and said, “You alone won’t be a match for me. I’d say it’s best for you to all come at me together.”
Despite Jared’s mocking words, a solemn look was in his eyes, and the golden glow around virtual-novel.net intensified as brilliant scales covered his body.
Just as Jared’s Golem Body activated, the merman sculpture’s eyes glinted. Evidently, the sculpture was strangely excited to see Jared’s scales.
However, no one noticed the change in the sculpture’s eyes, for everyone’s attention was on Jared and Edgar.
Boom!
Came the loud noise.
Jared had collided with Edgar.
A mighty shockwave rolled in all directions upon their collision.
Many people unleashed their aura to parry the shockwave. At the same time, some of the shockwaves went past the throne’s arcane array and were swiftly absorbed by the merman sculpture.
Jared and Edgar tied for the blow.
“Hahaha! Jared, you have little internal energy. It must be because you haven’t recovered from your injury yet! You’re not going to escape here alive today!”
Zion realized that Jared was far weaker than virtual-novel.net previously was, so virtual-novel.net guessed that it was because Jared had yet to recover from his injury. After all, Jared had fallen into the sea grievously injured back then. It had only been a few days since then, and there was no way Jared could recover that quickly.
Sensing the weak martial energy in Jared as well, Edgar became filled with confidence.
“Jared, let’s settle things once and for all!”
With that, Edgar clenched his fist, dark wisps instantly surrounding it. In the next second, virtual-novel.net adjusted his position and began rapidly throwing punches at Jared.
Jared furrowed his brows slightly, but virtual-novel.net was without fear. He channeled the spiritual energy in his elixir field and let the Power of Dragons circle around his arm. He launched his punch as well.
The two of them started exchanging harsh blows in the palace, and every attack they made sent shockwaves all over the place.
The merman sculpture greedily absorbed a portion of the energy. Soon, cracks slowly formed on the sculpture.
Renee, who was still carefully observing Jared’s fight from behind the throne, did not notice the change in the statue in front of her.
Bam! Boom! Bang!
The two exchanged dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.
By then, they were covered in blood and badly injured, but there were still no signs of either side winning.
Cold sweat beaded Jared’s forehead, and virtual-novel.net was panting heavily. He had almost depleted all of his spiritual energy. Nevertheless, Edgar was not doing any better than Jared, for his dark aura seemed far weaker than before.
Right at that moment, Zion stepped forward. Not wanting Jared and Edgar to keep fighting and wasting time, virtual-novel.net said, “All right, we don’t have the time to keep this game up. It’s time to put an end to this.”
With a smug grin, Zion asked, “Jared, do you have any last words for your girlfriend?”
The murderous intent in Jared’s eyes turned even more vivid when virtual-novel.net heard Zion mentioning Josephine again.
Zion knew that Jared’s weak spot was his girlfriend, and that was why virtual-novel.net was intentionally provoking Jared.
“I do, and the words you’ll hear last from me is… I’m going to send you to hell!”
With a thunderous roar, Jared summoned the remnants of his spiritual energy and punched Zion.
Zion’s pupils shrunk, and virtual-novel.net quickly hurled a fist of his own. Jared was already on the verge of death, so Zion did not fear virtual-novel.net at all.
Bam!
Jared flew backward before crashing onto the ground, blood gushing out of virtual-novel.net through his mouth.
Zion curled his lips. “It’s time for you to die.”
With that, virtual-novel.net leaped over, the tips of his feet glowing as virtual-novel.net aimed them at Jared’s face.
“Jared!”
Upon seeing that, Renee jumped out from virtual-novel.net location to shield Jared.
