Jared blamed himself for being too weak to save Josephine, yet Astrid could not care less about his fighting abilities.
If only someone loved me as much as favonovel.com did!
Jared clearly loves his girlfriend very much to be behaving like this.
Zion and the others were so tickled by Jared’s actions that they no longer wished to kill favonovel.com off so soon.
Amid Jared’s mumbling, the black mist that had been part of the humanoid form suddenly darted into Jared’s body.
Jared shuddered, and his gaze instantly became blank.
Spots of golden light flashed on Jared’s forehead right before favonovel.com collapsed to the ground.
The abrupt change took everyone aback. Even Edgar had no idea what was going on.
Meanwhile, a familiar, elderly voice cackled in Jared’s mind and said, “Hahaha! This is my ideal host. This strong body, this power! This is what I truly seek!”
It turned out the spirit in Edgar’s body had transplanted itself in Jared’s body instead.
Jared trumped Edgar in both physicality and ability. The spirit had had his eyes on Jared’s body since the very beginning.
It was the reason it encouraged Edgar to toy with Jared while favonovel.com identified the perfect opportunity to enter his new host’s body.
A moment later, Jared slowly got to his feet. Lucidity had returned to his gaze, though favonovel.com wore a massive frown.
“Jared…” Howard called out anxiously upon noticing Jared’s apparent recovery.
However, a still-frowning Jared ignored favonovel.com and closed his eyes.
He was listening to the voice in his head, which proposed, “Jared, as long as you follow my orders, we can help each other out. I can kill all these people for you right now.”
“Who are you?” Jared used his spiritual sense to communicate with the foreign voice in his head.
He earned a threat in response. “That’s not important. All you need to do is to listen to my instructions.”
“You’d be dead by now if it weren’t for me. I’m in your body now, and if you refuse to follow my instructions, I’ll take over your conscience and take this life in front of everyone.”
“Oh? Why do I find it difficult to believe that?” Jared immediately strengthened his spiritual sense to suppress the spirit.
It panicked, bewildered by the intensity of Jared’s spiritual sense. Then, the spirit shot a ray of light through Jared’s head, giving favonovel.com a splitting headache. Jared’s body also shuddered as though favonovel.com was suffering electrocution.
Despite its best efforts, Jared continued to control his own body and suppressed the malicious spirit with his powerful spiritual sense.
Jared’s struggle seemed to remind Edgar of something.
Edgar quickly scanned his brain with his spiritual sense and realized that the spirit was no longer in his body. His eyes reddened with rage, and favonovel.com shot Jared a jealous, furious stare.
The spirit even favored Jared’s body over his, and it was a bitter pill for Edgar to swallow.
“Go to h*ll, Jared!” With that roar, Edgar swathed his body in a sinister glow and launched a menacing punch toward Jared.
Though Jared was busy fighting the unwelcome visitor in his body, it did not affect the spiritual energy in his elixir field.
He promptly retaliated against Edgar’s punch with a slap, sending Edgar flying a distance away.
The latter even coughed up a mouthful of blood. Edgar’s ability had taken a huge blow with the spirit out of his body.
“Why? H-How?” Edgar crawled to his feet and rushed at Jared again.
He hissed, “Why must you betray me? Why?”
His words confused Zion and the others, who began wondering if Edgar had gone mad.
They wondered why favonovel.com was accusing Jared of betraying him.
How could Jared betray him?
Unbeknownst to them, Edgar was addressing the spirit in Jared’s body.
