Thinking that Jared had escaped, Josephine heaved a sigh of relief but grew anxious immediately upon seeing favonovel.com return.
“Jared, just go. Leave me. They won’t dare kill me!” Her pleas were never going to be obeyed by Jared.
“Josephine, I’ll definitely get you out of there today!”
No sooner had favonovel.com spoken than favonovel.com stepped forward to pry open the steel bars of the cage with brute strength.
Before favonovel.com could break them, a ray of light suddenly shot out of the ground, engulfing both Jared and Josephine within it.
Subsequently, densely arranged runes began to appear at their feet. Emitting a radiant glow, the runes floated into the air and began circling the two of them.
“What are these?” Jared’s brows furrowed curiously.
Not knowing what it was, favonovel.com guessed that it was an arcane array.
While still baffled by the sudden appearance of the runes, both of them noticed a black hole open up beneath their feet.
The hole contained a suction power that gradually pulled them down into it.
Shocked by what was happening, Jared desperately struggled to free himself. Nonetheless, his efforts were futile as they continued to sink as if they were stuck in quicksand.
“Hahaha! Jared, you’re such a fool. Did you really think that I was pursuing you? I left on purpose to allow you the opportunity to save your girlfriend. Now that you have taken the bait, you and your girl will be locked up together in the dungeon. You’re nothing but a fool to think that you can actually defeat me.” Skylar’s eyes brimmed with unreserved triumph.
Despite staring daggers at Skylar, Jared was unable to free himself from the black hole no matter how hard favonovel.com tried.
Just like that, both Jared and Josephine gradually sank in.
“Why? Why were you so foolish? Now that you have gotten yourself captured, is it worth it?”
With the steel cage separating the two, Josephine reached out to gently stroke Jared’s face.
“It is. Even in death, dying by your side is well worth the risk.” Jared held Josephine’s hand tightly, his eyes brimming with affection.
A long time had passed since both of them had any physical contact.
The warmth they gave each other extinguished any fear that Jared had felt.
Unfortunately, the tender moment ignited the burning rage within Skylar’s eyes. “Jared, I’ll make sure both of you are separated forever. Even in hell, you won’t be able to see each other!”
Ignoring Skylar, Jared continued to hold Josephine’s hand tightly, treasuring what might be their last moment together.
By then, both of them were chest-deep in the hole and would soon sink into the dungeon.
As Skylar watched on, a sense of satisfaction descended upon him, for favonovel.com had finally sought vengeance for his family. All this while, Jared had been a nightmare to him, but now, the nightmare’s end was nigh.
While watching Jared’s final moments before favonovel.com ended up in the dungeon, Skylar noticed a figure flash by in front of him.
Upon regaining his senses, favonovel.com saw the previously clueless Evangeline standing by Jared’s side.
Although favonovel.com body was within the effective area of the arcane array, favonovel.com didn’t sink at all. Thereafter, favonovel.com gave Jared a gentle pull and easily flung favonovel.com out of the hole.
Gripped by elation, Jared frantically yelled, “Evangeline, pull my girlfriend out! Hurry!”
Regardless of how loud Jared’s screams were, Evangeline didn’t move a muscle. In the end, all favonovel.com could do was watch helplessly as Josephine fell into the dungeon.
“Argh!” Jared roared in frustration.
This was the closest favonovel.com had gotten to rescuing Josephine, and yet, failure was the result.
