Winner Takes All novel Chapter 1001

If Mr. Ward or Brent was here…

As long as there was someone who knew Jack very well being here, they would prevent Jack from descending into a bewitched state at all costs. The root of evil lied at this descent into bewitchedness, and it was a Pandora’s box which once opened, all devils would be unleashed!

With the price of one forsaking his rationality, that person gained immeasurable battle prowess and turned into a ruthless killing machine. This very state would aggravated his bewitched state, and every time one tried to remove himself from this state, it proved harder and harder to remain conscious. Everything turned dangerous with every transformation!

It was already a hard-pressed mission to suppress this bewitched state, but Jack still wanted to breakthrough his own threshold and entered this state willingly. The current Jack who had lost his memories had wandered to the territories of the Hun. Nobody here knew of his past, and for sure they wouldn’t be able to comprehend his descent into a bewitched state.

Putting aside Jack, and considering Cynthia and the female guard’s opinion, this bewitched state was a magical state that bestowed upon someone a huge boost of power.

As Jack closed his eyes, he felt everything around him descend into silence.

In his mind, fragmentary images slowly surfaced to the top of his consciousness. They were bloody, cruel and they depicted a picture of struggle for life and death.

One was a picture of him holding on to his sanity in a prison cell, and another was members of the slave entourage lashing out at little kids, and they were also images of… Amanda’s brother dying a terrible death in a dark alley… Jack didn’t know how he could enter that state once again.

He could recall with clarity that he was able to descend into that bewitched state because he had seen with his own eyes those people of the slave entourage bringing harm to little kids, which ignited his flaming rage. It enabled him to enter that maniacal state without him understanding the mechanism behind it. Therefore, all he could do now was to bring back memories of those tragic scenes hidden in his head.

It was just that… why didn’t the same feeling visit him again now?

Why he couldn’t enter that state?

Jack’s heart was a complete mess.

As he was shrouded in confusion, he heard gush of wind tearing the air around him, which increased this unsettling feeling he was experiencing.

“Look out!” Somewhere very near to his ears, Cynthia’s voice suddenly exploded. Jack’s body jolted in surprise as he opened his eyes abruptly.

Bang!

There was a terribly huge gale of wind come at him. When he squinted, he saw a shape resembling a fist that tore through the air like a python coming at his face. The burst of wind caused by that fist was like sharp blades that came at him. While the fist hadn’t connected to his face, Jack still felt that the skin on his face was sliced repeatedly by those formless blades.

“Die!” Wolfgang’s earth-shattering roar reverberated in the palace.

At that moment, Cynthia’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Amanda had clasped her hands on her mouth, and her expression was one of shock. The female guard had a drastic change of expression as her pupils contracted rapidly.

At the same time, the king of the Hun who was seated on his throne let out a disdainful laugh, “This marks the end!”

However, just as Wolfgang’s formless fist was about to crash into Jack’s face, a sudden outburst of wind overwhelmed everything, creating a persisting buzzing sound. Under the scrutinizing gaze of everyone, Jack looked as if his legs had given out and his whole body lurched back in an incomprehensible angle. He was creating distance between himself and Wolfgang’s attack. His terrifying battle instinct allowed him to act with the best counterattack in the face of Wolfgang’s sweeping attack despite his memory loss.

What?

This sudden change of event shocked Wolfgang greatly. When Jack had his eyes shut a moment ago, Wolfgang was sure that this man could never avoid his attack anymore. However, he didn’t expect to see him dodge his formless fist with such a ridiculous yet effective body movement.

“You can do that?” The female guard at the entrance of the palace was completely bewildered.

Cynthia was startled by this too.

The king of the Hun even straightened his spine while he let out a gasp.

“You’re so great, Sir!” Amanda who was still reeling from the impact of what she had witnessed couldn’t help but exclaim with energy.

In the split of a second, while Jack’s body bent backwards, it was as if he had transformed into a wriggling worm what with the angle his waist was bent. His right hand conveniently reached out to grab Wolfgang’s robe tie on his waist.

“Lie down!” A cold and ominous voice came out of Jack’s mouth.

Bang!
