NovelOnlineJared glared at Vermillion Demon Lord, his eyes filled with anger. "D*mn, you definitely knew, but you deliberately kept it from me..." No sooner had Jared finished speaking, than a series of grating noises filled the air, the sharp sounds of stones scraping against each other even discernible among them.
The sound was incredibly unsettling, giving Jared goosebumps all over his body.
At that point, Jared had lost the aura and perspective of those crimson mice, signifying that they were no longer present.
The sound kept drawing nearer, and Jared was anxiously looking around as if the sound was coming from all directions.
The defensive array that had just been depicted was now activated by Jared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, Jared was feeling sregret. Why hadn't he formed a more complex defensive array earlier? Upon seeing Jared's nervous demeanor, even Vermilion Demon Lord unexpectedly burst into laughter.
"You're still laughing, but once we're out. I won't let you into my consciousness field. I'll leave you here forever!" Jared, somewhat irritated, spoke to Vermillion Demon Lord who was still laughing out loud.
"Don't worry, what must be, must be. There's no escaping it. Worst comes to worst, you'll end up as a soul remnant. Either way, we'll face it together. "Moreover, now that you possess a spiritual body, even if only a shred of your soul remains, you can gradually recover!" Vermilion Demon Lord exclaimed.
Jared had no intention of paying attention to Vermillion Demon Lord. Instead, he was cautiously observing his surroundings.
"Ah..." Suddenly, Maurice let out a horrifying scream.
When Jared looked over, he found that Maurice was surprisingly covered in dark red bugs. crawling all over him. These insects appeared to be tiny flickers of flame. However, when many of them gathered together, they took on the form of a raging fire.
With a swift flick of his Demon Flogger, Jared ensnared Maurice, drawing him into the defensive array.
Upon contact with the protective barrier, all the insects scattered, falling off Maurice's body. At this moment, Maurice was completely covered in bites from the bug, with not a single spot spared.
Jared wouldn't possibly feel pity for Maurice. The reason he saved him was not to allow him a quick and painless death.
Before long, the swarm of insects multiplied, their sheer number illuminating the dark cave.
These insects swarmed around Jared and his group, but they couldn't break through the defensive array.
Jared observed, it seemed as though they were completely surrounded by rising flames, and there was a distinct sensation of intense heat.

These bugs didn't appear particularly formidable at first glance, yet when they converged, the intense heat they radiated was on par with, if not surpassing, the fire of the Earth's core.
"These are flbugs, creatures that feed off the flaming energy. The flaming energy they emit when they gather is far more intense than any demonic fire," Vermilion Demon Lord explained.
Upon hearing the words of Vermilion Demon Lord, Jared gave him a m sidelong glance it was quite clear that this guy knew everything, yet he chose not to share with him.
Jared unsheathed his Dragonslayer Sword, the blade shimmering with every movement. He swung the sword in a swift motion, sending waves of sword energy toward the swarm of flbugs. Boom! Accompanied by several explosions, a vast swarm of flbugs was sent flying, leaving a large gap around Jared and his companions.
However, these startled flbugs immediately regrouped, as if Jared's earlier light hadn't inflicted much damage on them.
Upon witnessing this scene, Jared couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Damn, such a tiny bug, yet it's so tough. I can't kill it?" Jared could hardly believe it; the few strikes he had just made had not inflicted any damage on the flbugs at all.
"This is outrageous!" he exclaimed. If this continued, wouldn't they all meet their ends in this cave? After all, Jared's rudimentary defensive array couldn't possibly hold out for long! X
