It could be said that a mutual hatred for Jared had bloomed between them.
“Do you think Jared will make it out alive?” Zion asked.
Edgar was stunned for a moment before answering, “I don't think he'll survive. Even if he does escape, he'll find himself in the middle of the ocean with no ship around to bring him to land. At most, he'll only live for a few days.”
That's true. A smile was finally visible on Zion's face.
“Still, it's a shame that I couldn't kill him myself.” Edgar always wanted to kill Jared with his own hands, yet that wish of his never came true.
Recalling what happened in the palace, Zion turned to Edgar and asked curiously, “What happened when you tried killing Jared? Why did you tear off your arm?”
Edgar shot a glance at his missing arm with an indescribable expression. There are some things I can't tell Zion.
Upon seeing Edgar acting like that, Zion knew the younger man didn't want to answer his question. So he smiled faintly. “The spirit in your body took control and tore your arm off. Am I right?”
Edgar was taken aback. He could only stare at Zion in disbelief before nodding. “That's right. When I tried absorbing Jared's power, he used a peculiar cultivation technique to consume my strength instead.”
When Zion heard how powerful Jared's cultivation technique was, he took in a deep breath subconsciously.
“Thankfully, that guy's dead now. Otherwise, his power would be beyond measure in the future. If that future came to pass, a horrendous death would be waiting for us all,” Zion uttered with traces of fear in his voice.
An awkward smirk formed on Edgar's face when he heard that. Originally, he was the most talented person in the younger generation. Yet, he was completely stifled by Jared. While Jared wouldn't be showing up again, his legend would likely take a long time to fade into obscurity.
“What's going on with the spirit in your body, Edgar? Why did your aura noticeably decrease during the battle earlier?” Zion was still confounded by that sudden change.
