Jared was utterly stunned when he arrived on the forbidden ground. There, he saw the statue had cracked and fallen apart, and there was a corpse lying inside.
Based on the pristine condition of the corpse, it seemed as though the person had just died not long ago. It was in so good of a condition that even the skin was still supple.
Needless to say, Jared was perplexed. How did a corpse end up here?
When Jared eventually turned toward Norm, Norm was sweating bullets when he said, “Mr. Chance, I-I don't know what's going on. No one has been in here... I-I don't know who that is!”
Upon hearing those words, Jared frowned. Why is there a fresh corpse here?
Right then, Evangeline, who was next to Jared, looked as pale as a sheet when she saw the corpse. “T-That's a blood demon...” she stammered.
“A blood demon?” Shocked, Jared glanced at the corpse once more. The man looks young, and he was at most in his thirties when he died. He had nice facial features, and he didn't even look like a demon! Besides, it's obvious that the man had just died. It doesn't look like a blood demon that died thousands of years ago.
“Hey, what do you mean by blood demon? You know this man?” Flaxseed asked. He didn't know anything about blood demons.
Evangeline nodded. “I've seen blood demons. They were the ones who carried out the massacre in Lunarius Palace back then.”
“Who would've known that this blood demon could be that young? Besides, how is the body still in such good condition even though he had been dead for thousands of years?” Jared was flabbergasted.
“No. He isn't dead. I can still feel his aura. A dead person wouldn't have an aura,” Evangeline remarked.
Jared jumped in alarm when he heard that. If the blood demon is still alive, we're all going to die! After all, he's thousands of years old. He must be strong!
