“You!” Ilias glared at Jared, wishing he could devour him out of sheer anger.
“Come on! Hit me!”
Jared was provoking Ilias.
In this Holy Pond, they were evenly matched, and Jared was not afraid at all. Watching Jared’s
arrogant and domineering behavior, Ilias was boiling with anger.
“Rueben, give me the fire sacred bead,” he commanded. “Return to the shore first. Once I’ve defeated
this brat, you can then restore your bloodline.”
Ilias knew that if he couldn’t use his full strength, there was simply no way he could defeat Jared.
To unleash his full potential, he had to use his spiritual energy to resist the frost energy of the Holy
Pond. At that moment, his only option was to use the fire sacred bead to shield himself from the frost
energy.
Rueben nodded and swam towards Ilias.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared swung his sword towards Rueben, determined not to let Ilias get the
fire sacred bead.
If Ilias got hold of the fire sacred bead, everything would be over. The sword’s light charged directly at
Rueben, startling him and causing him to retreat backward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Rueben retreated, he threw the fire sacred bead in his hand towards Ilias.
As the fire sacred bead slipped from his grasp, Rueben felt a frost energy permeate his entire body,
causing him to instinctively float upward in fear.
Ilias reached out, and with a surge of suction, the fire sacred bead was rapidly drawn towards him.
Seeing the situation, Jared also reached out for the fire sacred bead. Suddenly, flames ignited beneath
Jared’s feet. He executed Blazing Stride, and his speed increased dramatically in an instant.
Upon seeing Jared attempting to seize the fire sacred bead, Ilias waved his hand, instantly unleashing
three streaks of spiritual light.
If Jared hadn’t dodged, he would have certainly been hit by the spiritual light.
Seeing that he was about to obtain the fire sacred bead, Jared gritted his teeth, allowing the three rays
of spiritual light to hit him without dodging or flinching.
The moment Jared’s hand grasped the fire sacred bead, three rays of spiritual light also struck him.
A thunderous roar echoed.
The water in the Holy Pond churned constantly, and Jared was sent flying.
“Hand over the fire sacred bead!”
Upon seeing Jared get hold of the fire sacred bead, Ilias roared in anger and charged over.
Jared adjusted his breath, smiled at Ilias, and then, to everyone’s surprise, he opened his mouth and
swallowed the fire sacred bead.
Upon seeing Jared consume the fire sacred bead, Ilias was so furious that he was practically
thunderous with rage.
Without the fire sacred bead, Rueben would have no way to enter the Holy Pond to restore his
bloodline.
“Die!” Ilias roared in fury, unleashing a terrifying palm strike. With this strike, Ilias used all his spiritual
energy, even ceasing to resist the frost energy of the Holy Pond.
In the Holy Pond, a massive whirlpool emerged, rapidly heading towards Jared.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared quickly sank downward.
He didn’t dare to take this strike from Ilias.
Upon seeing Jared unexpectedly heading towards the bottom of the pool, Ilias initially wanted to
continue his pursuit. However, the frost energy caused his body to shudder violently.
Left with no choice, Ilias could only quickly surface from the water, daring not to pursue Jared any
further.
When Ilias surfaced from the water, Rueben hurriedly rushed over.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Dad, what happened? Did that guy get killed?” Rueben asked.
“No. He seized and swallowed the fire sacred bead.” Ilias had an intense expression on his face.
“Huh?” Rueben was taken aback. “What should I do, then? Without the fire sacred bead, how can I
restore my bloodline?”
“Don’t worry, I’m standing guard here. I refuse to believe he won’t come out. The moment he shows
himself, I’ll strike him down and retrieve the fire sacred bead from his belly.”
Ilias was comforting Rueben.
Rueben nodded, realizing that he had no other option but to wait.
By this time, the sounds of the battle at the Henningsen residence had already subsided. Tyler and
Jacques had been successfully rescued, and all the members of the Summers family had retreated.
Montane Daemon and the others also decided to withdraw. Initially, their intention was to locate Jared,
but Tyler managed to convince them to leave the Henningsen residence.
However, instead of returning to the Summers residence, they found a temporary shelter in
Henningsen City, patiently awaiting any updates from Jared.
If they didn’t receive any communication from Jared for an extended period, they would make their way
back into the Henningsen residence.
