When Cloud saw Jared slaying the zombies, he wanted to help but was stopped by the latter. Since he was
incapable of absorbing marked aura, his killing them would be a waste.
Hence, he had no choice but to watch Jared anxiously. In contrast to Cloud, Remus and Xandros were watching on
smugly.
“Mr. Quayle, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. Why don’t you raise more of the dead and overwhelm Jared with
them?” Xandros suggested in glee.
Nodding with a smile, Remus chanted a spell while brandishing his soul attractor in the air. Countless corpses began
to rise from the dead and swarm toward Jared.
Soon, almost all of them had come alive. Despite that, Jared continued to cut them down vehemently with
Dragonslayer Sword, showing no signs of tiring. The sight triggered a frown from Remus as cold sweat broke out on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis forehead.
He continued to use his soul attractor, draining a significant amount of his marked aura. Yet, Jared was still more
than capable of resisting.
When Jared noticed that Remus was slowing down and seemingly unable to sustain his spell much longer, he
screamed, “Argh!”
Thereafter, he pretended to be struck by a zombie and was sent flying backward.
“Mr. Chance!”
The sight caused Cloud to rush over and frantically help Jared up.
“Are you all right, Mr. Chance?” Cloud asked as he examined Jared for injuries. Jared merely smiled in response.
“I’m fine. It’s just a charade. You should pretend that I’m badly injured.”
The stunned Cloud had no clue what Jared was trying to achieve but did as he was told.
“Mr. Chance, you’re hurt, and your aura is weak. You had better stop fighting. Let’s retreat instead!” Cloud said
loudly as he helped Jared up. “No, I have to wipe all those corpses out….
Jared pushed Cloud aside before charging back into the fray with Dragonslayer Sword in hand. This time, his actions
were visibly slower, making it appear as if his strength was diminished.
“Mr. Quayle, Jared is on his last legs. Intensify your attacks!” Xandros urged Remus when he saw Jared weakening.
Sensing the same, Remus mustered all his strength to unleash his marked aura again as he waved the soul
attractor around with greater ferocity.
Just like that, another two hours passed. Even though Jared appeared to slow down, the corpses weren’t able to get
close to him still. Every time he looked as if he would be overwhelmed, he would end up surviving somehow.
By then, Remus’ face was burning red as he clenched his teeth tightly. After raising so many of the dead, he had
drained nearly every last bit of his strength.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll he could do now was desperately sustain his efforts to see who was the first to fall.
Another hour passed under such circumstances. By then, Remus’ aura was barely perceptible, while the glow on
the soul attractor gradually dimmed. All of a sudden, his vision went black as he collapsed onto the ground.
“Mr. Quayle!”
Xandros hurried to Remus’ side to help him up. The latter was panting heavily as though he had just gone through a
brutal battle.
“Mr. Quayle, you have to continue. It’s clear Jared can’t sustain this any longer,” Xandros pestered. However,
Remus waved his hand. “Mr. Xandros, I’ve given it everything I have. This guy has looked that way for a long time,
but he just refuses to fall.”
The sight of Remus reaching his limit elicited a smirk on Jared’s face. Unleashing his aura without warning, he
raised Dragonslayer Sword and slayed the rest of the corpses. Jared’s sudden explosion of aura left Remus and
Xandros stunned.
Once he had wiped out the last of the corpses, Jared approached the two with a smirk.
“You… actually still have strength left?” Remus exclaimed in shock.
