Meanwhile, Zelda engaged in combat with the members of Evil Heart Sect. Her strength far surpassed that of those small fries in the sect. “You think you can run away from me?” Jared sneered while gazing at Malphas.
“Jared Chance, what exactly brought you to Evil Heart Sect? Lord Tanner and Skylar are not here. Did you come merely to kill us? You should know we’re of little importance to the sect, Malphas said to Jared.
“I have no intention of killing you. If you lead me to your dungeon right now, I’ll spare you,” Jared replied.
“To the dungeon? What for?” Malphas was surprised by Jared’s demand. “That’s none of your business. Just take me there!” Jared snapped, growing impatient.
“I’ll never take you there, even if you kill me!” Malphas responded, fully aware of the dire consequences he would face if he were to bring Jared to the dungeon.
Recognizing Tanner’s capabilities all too well, Malphas understood that aiding Jared would lead to a fate more dreadful than mere death.
“It’s not your decision to make.” After finishing speaking, Jared released a radiant aura that penetrated Malphas’ body, causing him to freeze in place.
Suddenly, flames seemed to ignite within Malphas, and it was as though his organs were being seared over a scorching fire. Despite the intense pain, Malphas was unable to move or utter a single sound, forced to endure the torment of the searing flames.
Beads of cold sweat formed on Malphas’ forehead as his face twisted in a grotesque expression. He stared at Jared in disbelief, unable to comprehend how, in just a few months, Jared’s power had surpassed his own by such at tremendous margin.
In the presence of Jared, he found himself utterly defenseless, incapable of mounting any form of retaliation. It was a stark contrast to a few months prior when he had dismissed Jared as inconsequential.
With a flick of Jared’s finger, a beam of light instantly struck Malphas throat, allowing him to make sounds once again.
