Jared continued walking into the depths of the mountain. It did not take long for Jared to notice a majestic altar that glowed faintly, The zombie Jared was looking for was guarding right below the altar. To Jared’s horror, there were agonizing screams coming from under the altar.
“Why are you here? Go back and guard the entrance, ordered the zombie upon noticing Jared. The zombie was still under the impression that he had control over Jared.
“Screw you!” All of a sudden, a rush of anger coursed through Jared’s veins. He pulled out Dragonslayer Sword, which glowed with a golden brilliance, and swung it at the opponent.
The zombie was taken aback. It did not expect Jared to be not under his control. Seeing Jared approaching with the sword, the zombie raised its arm to block the attack. As a result, one of its arms got cut off and fell to the ground.
Regardless, there was no change in the zombie’s expression. It was as if the arm that got cut off was not its own. That stunned Jared, for he did not expect to cut off the arm so easily.
It seemed that the zombie was not that powerful, after all. While Jared was amazed by the outcome, a new arm grew out of the zombie where the old one fell. With a flick of its palm, waves of lethal intent condensed into shiny arrows that had runes marked all over them.
As countless arrows flew toward Jared, their lethal intent created a shrill sound that resonated in the air. Witnessing that scene, Jared swung Dragonslayer Sword with all his might, shooting forward a crescent-shaped sword energy.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The energy spun incessantly, reducing all the arrows into dust. The fact that Jared was unharmed did not bother the zombie. In fact, the latter’s eyes glinted, and a ray of golden light entered Jared’s mind.
It turned out that the arrows were just a distraction for they had no notable power. Rather, it was the golden light that was powerful. As soon as it entered Jared’s mind, it began. seizing his spiritual sense.
Right at that moment, the Wordless Tome in Jared’s mind emitted another sacred white light, bathing Jared in it. “Ah!” the zombie screamed and crashed to the ground, writhing in pain. Jared knew his chance had come, so he swung his weapon, which was infused with the sacred white light..
Whoosh! The attack cut the zombie in half. In the next second, it stopped moving and gradually decayed until it disappeared without a trace. “That’s too easy.”
Jared could not believe what had just happened. It did not make sense just how easy. it was to kill the zombie. Right then, Jared felt the grey, misty aura in his body change. Immersing itself in his spiritual sense, he realized the aura had transformed into a bright mark.
“Could this be the mark?” he muttered to himself in confusion. The moment he touched the mark, a massive wave of energy poured out of it.
The incident surprised Jared. Hadad did not lie to him. The mark’s energy, also known as Ultimate Force, was indeed powerful. Jared now possessed another form of energy apart from the spiritual energy and the Power of Dragons.
He planned to use it sparingly as a trump card. The outcome would be incredible if he suddenly used Ultimate Force at a crucial time when his spiritual energy and the Power of Dragons were depleted.
Jared let himself feel gleeful for a moment until he realized Hadad’s shadow clone did not appear. That’s weird. I killed the zombie already. Why isn’t Hadad showing himself?
“Hurry up and save me. All that thing does well is attack a person’s mental energy. There’s nothing else it can do. It only serves him right for encountering you. See? He can’t even control you when he has incredible mental energy. That’s why I need you to help me.”
At last, Hadad’s shadow clone showed up.
