“What should I do? I've already killed the zombie. Shouldn't you be free now?” asked Jared.
“Place my skull on the altar. That way, the altar would be destroyed and my spirit will be free,” explained Hadad.
Jared gave a nod of acknowledgment before leaping into the air and landing firmly on the altar. Sitting in the center of the altar was a crystal clear skeleton that lacked the skull.
Realizing what he had to do, he took out the skull from his Storage Ring and slowly placed it on the altar.
The second he put the skull down, the entire altar emitted a dazzling light, and the skeleton vanished in it.
In the meantime, Hadad's shadow clone began to materialize. Although it was still a spirit, it looked just like a real person.
“Hahaha! I'm finally free! I'm free! When I find out those who killed and restrained my fellow demon spirits, I'm going to send them to hell and make them stay there forever.”
Hadad burst into hysterical laughter while Jared stared at the former in wonder. Before the latter could ask Hadad about his history or if Hadad knew his father, the altar he was standing on trembled. It was going to collapse any second.
“The altar's going to collapse. You need to bring your friends out of here. The phantoms under this altar are escaping. I'm going to Ethereal Realm to recreate my body. Hopefully, we'll meet again there.”
With that, Hadad grabbed the void with both hands, and a space-time rift came into view. Just like that, Hadad vanished into the rift.
Jared could not help but curse. “D*mn it. Are you leaving just like that? Right after I freed you? Do I not even get a thank you?”
Immediately after that, the altar collapsed. Agonizing screams resonated from under the structure, and the voices were getting closer.
