The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2365

At one glance, Jared could tell the elderly man was just a spirit rather than a human in the flesh.

“It's been a while, young man.”

While the elderly man chuckled at Jared, the latter's eyes went wide with bafflement as he stared at the former. The elderly man's voice was the same as the skull's.

“Y-You...”

Jared merely pointed at the elderly man, not knowing what to say.

“Hahaha! The crystal skull's mine. I'm the one who brought you here.”

The elderly man burst out laughing.

“Why did you do that? Your spirit's clearly here. Why did you lie to me saying you'll need to use this place to attract the spirit so you could be reborn in Ethereal Realm?” Jared questioned furiously.

Jared risked his life to bring the elderly man's skull there, but it turned out to be a lie.

“I never lied to you. My spirit might be here, but I can't leave. I'm the demon of negative energy that's trapped here. I can only return to Ethereal Realm only if you break the restraining force here,” admitted the old man. He was indeed Hadad.

“So after all that I've done, you're saying you wanted me to free you? Why should I do that? What's in it for me?” Jared huffed.

“Of course, there are benefits. And to answer your first question, it's because you're the only person who can get me out of this place. You've saved both Whalreth and Baal, so you should save me too,” said Hadad.

“Whalreth?”

Jared froze. He knew the blood demon recovered because of the spiritual energy, and its body went straight to Ethereal Realm. However, he did not recall saving a demon called Whalreth.
