Fresh blood spewed out from the mouths of the three men and splattered everywhere on the ground, forming the shape of a round disc.
Simultaneously, they had one of their arms broken off. The excruciating pain left their faces contorted into an ugly scowl.
Blood gushed out from their broken arm, and they rhythmically portrayed it into a pattern.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Layers after layers of thick fog began to rise, and as they faded into the sky, a humongous silhouette appeared before Jared.
“What the hell is this?” Jared involuntarily took a deep breath and gulped.
The gigantic beast was several meters tall and had an especially odd appearance with its razor-sharp fangs sticking out of its mouth. No one could tell what animal it was.
Sniffing the blood splattered on the ground, it opened its mouth and gobbled one of the three black-clothed men without hesitation.
Scared senseless by the horrifying scene, the other two stood rooted on the spot, paralyzed.
All they could do was watch each other getting devoured by that beast.
Only then did Jared fully understand what Ichiro had meant by the word “offering”—the latter wanted the trio to sacrifice their lives to lure that monstrous animal out to deal with him.
“You've made me summon the Heaven Devouring Beast out. I'll spare you no mercy today...” Ichiro clenched his jaws in fury.
He knew well that even if he managed to kill Jared and the others, he would still receive punishment when he returned for having sacrificed the lives of the three priests of the Watanabe family.
Even as the young master of the family, there was no way he would be able to escape the punishment awaiting him.
Nonetheless, that was not Ichiro's top priority for now. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind—to send Jared to hell.
Roar...
Despite having swallowed the three cloaked men, the Heaven Devouring Beast fixed its bloodshot eyes on Jared, seemingly as if it had yet eaten anything.
