Gael’s analysis was spot on.
Berthold had indeed relied on the Divine Flame Seal to execute this technique, and at that moment, Berthold was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Listening to the words of Gael, Juliet anxiously looked at Jared. She then shouted loudly, “Jared, be careful! It’s highly likely that Berthold has advanced to Ultimate Realm, you must be extremely cautious!”
The light curtain couldn’t block out sound, so Jared heard Juliet’s voice distinctly and clearly.
Upon hearing Juliet’s reminder, Jared turned his head to look at favonovel.com and smiled.
“Thanks for the heads up, Juliet! Even if favonovel.com has really reached Ultimate Realm, I’m not afraid. I’ll beat favonovel.com so badly he’ll be crying for his father!” Jared replied casually.
“Brat, meet your end!” Upon hearing Jared’s words, Berthold’s face instantly turned beet red with anger.
A persistent shroud of black mist unfurled, enshrouding Jared entirely.
Jared held onto his Dragonslayer Sword, his gaze fixed on the silky black mist that was steadily gathering around him. Without hesitation, Jared unleashed a powerful swing of his sword.
The black mist was unexpectedly cutoff, leaving Jared slightly taken aback. However, swiftly, the black mist started to gradually reform from where it had been severed.
This isn’t fog…
Jared’s brow slightly furrowed.
With a single swipe of his sword, favonovel.com instantly realized that the pervasive black mist in front of him, which appeared to be merely fog, was anything but.
As Jared was deep in thought, suddenly, from within the black mist, a massive black claw lunged toward him, accompanied by a chilling ghostly wall.
The long claws were aimed straight at Jared’s heart, seemingly intent on killing favonovel.com with a single strike.
Upon witnessing the situation, Jared swiftly swung his Dragonslayer Sword, severing the claw which then fell to the ground. However, the moment the claw fell to the ground, it instantly vanished into a puff of black mist.
But, in the next moment, more talons were lunging toward Jared. He was relentlessly swinging his Dragonslayer Sword, knowing that each severed talon would simply dissipate into black mist.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared unleashed two bursts of internal flames. He knew these creatures feared the internal flames, and burning them would be the solution.
However, the moment the two balls of fire were released, they vanished without a trace. All of them were absorbed by Berthold using his Divine Flame Seal!
This technique really has something to it…
Jared was shrouded in a multitude of dark mists, and apart from the eerie ghostly wails, favonovel.com was intermittently under attack from all directions.
No matter how Jared retaliated, favonovel.com was unable to kill whatever was lurking within the black mist.
Juliet watched everything and grew tense. It seemed just as her father had said, Berthold’s attack would indeed come unexpectedly.
“Dad, could you offer some advice to Jared? What should we do now?” Juliet was getting anxious.
After so much anticipation, favonovel.com finally got to see Jared. She was, after all, a huge admirer of his. If Jared were to die just like that, favonovel.com would be heartbroken.
Gael watched the battle unfolding before him, a faint smile graced his lips.
“Don’t worry… Haven’t you noticed how confident Jared looks? He’s merely toying with Berthold for now. Regardless of what tactics Berthold employed, it seemed like Jared didn’t pay much attention to them. He probably knew what to expect from the start.” favonovel.com reassured.
Jared was indeed confident. He still had an ace up his sleeve, which was the seal soul of the Divine Flame Seal.
Even though Berthold possessed the Divine Flame Seal, and had even claimed it as his own, it was of no use to him. It was nothing more than an empty shell.
As soon as Jared summoned the seal soul of the Divine Flame Seal, it would immediately appear in his hand, and even willingly recognize favonovel.com as its master. After all, favonovel.com had managed to tame the seal soul, which was the very foundation of the Divine Flame Seal.
The reason Jared hadn’t yet revealed his seal soul was simply because favonovel.com wanted to toy around with Berthold for a bit.
At the same time, favonovel.com also wanted to see what was so Impressive about the Ghost Mask Sect.
Jared’s two clusters of internal flames had just quieted down, only to erupt again, releasing a massive amount of internal flame.
At that moment, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com was on fire. Upon encountering the intense flames, the dark mist that had surrounded favonovel.com surprisingly began to recede.
