Chapter 2018
“Don’t leave me behind!”
Many excruciating screams came from inside the Magical Circle. Some who let their guard down were immediately annihilated by the Sword Energy.
Unwilling to concern himself with the others’ fates, James simply left alongside Marcello.
Marcello was well-versed in Magic Circles. Holding James by his arm, they traversed through the thin fog. Besides, as his sense of acumen was strong, he could sense the movement of Sword Energy, thereby allowing them to dodge the attacks with ease.
Ten minutes passed, and the thin fog dissipated.
Marcello and James walked out of the Magic Circle. They were the first to do so.
James turned to look at the mysterious rocks and took a deep breath. If not for Marcello’s assistance, he would not have walked out of the Magic Circle. He might have perished inside.
“Thank you.”
He seldom demonstrated his gratitude. However, this time, he truly was thankful for Marcello’s help. James believed that Marcello was a rather kind-hearted person. Just as he said, the Demon Race was not entirely wicked either.
“You’re welcome.”
Marcello smiled. His smile was rather attractive.
For a brief moment, James even thought he was a woman.
“A-Are you a man or a woman?” James asked.
“What do you think?” Marcello looked at James and grabbed his hand, moving it to his chest area. “Why don’t you try touching them?”
James hurriedly broke free and smiled awkwardly, “Never mind, forget I asked.”
Then, he shifted the subject, asking, “Why did you bring me out of the Magic Circle? If you left by yourself, you’d have advanced further than the rest and could potentially be the first to pass the nine barriers. You could have been the one to obtain the Celestial Abode.”
Marcello blinked and said smilingly, “That’s because I’m a member of the Demon Race, and your body possesses majestic Demonic Energy. Hence, your body belongs to the Demon Race. In the future, we might even be part of the same family.”
