To everyone''s surprise, Jared merely stared straight ahead, showing no intention of stopping Alex.


    Gilbert nced at Jared. Seeing that Jared did not move, he stayed put as well, but deep down, he was


    confused as to why Jared remained still.


    “Mr. Chance, please save Princess Anne!” When Andrew saw that Jared was not doing anything, he


    began begging thetter.


    “Tsk! You made the decision to betray your own princess, and now you''re asking us to save her? You''re


    no different than a prostitute asking for a monument of chastity!” xseed spat at Andrew in disdain.


    xseed absolutely despised traitors like Andrew. Even though thetter might not understand the


    metaphor he used, xseed still wanted to mock him.


    Andrew lowered his head in shame. He was well aware that some mistakes could not be forgiven.


    By then, Alex was already standing on top of the altar, mumbling under his breath. It looked as though he


    was chanting a spell.


    In the next second, he pierced the ground in front of Anne with his scepter.


    The gemstone on the scepter emitted a radiant blue beam that shot straight into the clouds.


    Rumble...


    The ground began to shake as the beams surrounding the altar began spinning faster and faster.


    Terrifying auras started to emerge from beneath the ground. Everyone was petrified.


    “Hahaha!” Alex''s maniacughter filled the air.


    Anne, who was tied to the stone pole, found her attempts of breaking free to be futile. In the end, she


    could only toss Jared a look of helplessness.


    Why isn''t Jared rescuing me?


    Soon, a ck fog rose from the underground. Horrifying creatures with ws and fangs started to form


    amidst the fog.


    The spirits gathered around the altar. Within seconds, the altar was clouded by a ck mist, obscuring


    the view of everyone below the altar.


    Terror was etched on Joel''s face as he slumped onto the ground, muttering to himself, “The demons


    have arrived... The demons are here...”


    “What demons? Like I said, these are just spirits and negative energy.” xseed regarded the ck


    mists with utter disdain.


    “Such great stuff. I shall wee it.”


    With that being said, Jared leaped into the air.


    Just as the men in ck were about to stop Jared, Gilbert sent them flying with just a p.


    Soon, Jarednded on top of the altar.


    Anne face contorted viciously as the ck mist rushed into her body.


    Holding on to the remaining sanity left within her, Anne cried out to Jared, “Jared, kill me! Kill me now! I


    don''t want to be a demon!”

    Upon hearing her request, Jared chuckled. “Even if you want to be a demon, you can''t. These are


    not even demons to begin with.”


    Jared then made his way to Anne.


    Infuriated when Jared ignored him, Alex roared, “You b*stard! The demons have arrived, and yet you still


    have the gall to be so boastful? I''ll kill you!”


    Alex thrust the sword in his hand at Jared.


    Jared rose his hand and pped the iing de. The sheer force of his p was enough to break


    the sword in two.


    A powerful wave of rebound energy was inflicted on Alex''s wrist, causing him to clench his teeth in pain.


    Alex froze and gaped at Jared in horror, no longer daring to move.


    Jared walked toward Anne. cing a hand on top of Anne''s head, he activated Focus Technique.


    Subsequently, all of the negative spirits in Anne''s body were sucked out by Jared.


    Within seconds, color returned to Anne''s cheeks, and she recovered.


    As that scene unfolded before him, Alex could not believe his eyes.


    What sort of witchcraft did he use to suck out all of the spirits from Anne''s body so effortlessly? And how


    is it possible that he seems to bepletely unaffected by the spirits entering his body?
