Chapter 3179
When Cloud saw Jared slaying the zombies, he wanted to help but was stopped by the latter. Since hewas incapable of absorbing marked aura, his killing them would be a waste.novelbin
Hence, he had no choice but to watch Jared anxiously. In contrast to Cloud, Remus and Xandros werewatching on smugly.
“Mr. Quayle, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. Why don’t you raise more of the dead andoverwhelm Jared with them?” Xandros suggested in glee.
Nodding with a smile, Remus chanted a spell while brandishing his soul attractor in the air. Countlesscorpses 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 vehementlywith Dragonslayer Sword, showing no signs of tiring. The sight triggered a frown from Remus as coldsweat broke out on his forehead.
He continued to use his soul attractor, draining a significant amount of his marked aura. Yet, Jared wasstill more than capable of resisting.
When Jared noticed that Remus was slowing down and seemingly unable to sustain his spell muchlonger, 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 inresponse. “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. Thistime, 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 sawJared weakening.
Sensing the same, Remus mustered all his strength to unleash his marked aura again as he waved thesoul attractor around with greater ferocity.
Just like that, another two hours passed. Even though Jared appeared to slow down, the corpsesweren’t able to get close to him still. Every time he looked as if he would be overwhelmed, he wouldend up surviving somehow.
By then, Remus’ face was burning red as he clenched his teeth tightly. After raising so many of thedead, he had drained nearly every last bit of his strength.
All 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, whilethe glow on the soul attractor gradually dimmed. All of a sudden, his vision went black as he collapsedonto the ground.
“Mr. Quayle!”
Xandros hurried to Remus’ side to help him up. The latter was panting heavily as though he had justgone 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 lookedthat 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 withoutwarning, he raised Dragonslayer Sword and slayed the rest of the corpses. Jared’s sudden explosionof 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.
