Chapter 1408Chapter 1408 Liar
Diego struggled to get back up. Looking at his wound, he scoffed. “We’re both Nascent Souls, Jared.
As long as the Soul exists, so do we. That’s not enough to kill me.”
“Why don’t we give it a try, then?” Jared stared at Diego before leaping at him once more.
Diego tried to cast his spell in an attempt to block the attack, but the moment he did, his brain was in
immense pain.
That mental attack earlier injured Diego’s brain, stopping him from casting any spell.
Snapping out of it, Diego tried to focus his spiritual energy to block Jared, but it was too late.
Jared had arrived right in front of Diego, and he plunged his arm into the latter’s chest, rummaging for
his Nascent Soul.
The pain made Diego’s face contort with rage and agony, while everyone else watched on in horror.
They had no idea what Jared was trying to do.
When Zion saw what Jared was doing, he felt a chill run up his spine, and he made a run for it.
Jared did not care about Zion’s escape, as he finally caught Diego’s Nascent Soul. In other words,
Diego’s life was at his mercy.
“N-No, please!” Diego roared. He had to go through hell just to get this far. If Jared were to destroy his
Nascent Soul, even if it would not kill him, staying alive would be meaningless.
“It’s too late for mercy.” With that said, Jared yanked the Nascent Soul out of Diego. The soul was only
a bit bigger than Jared’s thumb. He looked at it for a moment before tucking it away in his pocket.The crowd had no idea what Jared had just tucked away in his pocket, but the sight still stupefied them.
“That guy’s a demon. He ripped Diego’s heart out and tucked it away in his pocket, didn’t he?”
“Creepy. Never thought he would go so far.”
“I think we’d better not cross him from now on.”
Everyone closed their eyes as they refused to see the grotesque scene.
With his Nascent Soul gone, Diego’s power plummeted, and he stared at Jared with a silent plea in his
eyes.
“Please… g-give me back the Nascent Soul. You can be the king of Encanta Island,” Diego begged
Jared to give him back the Nascent Soul.
However, all Jared did was smirk coldly. “I don’t care about status or any of that sort. All I know is I
always get back at anyone who tries to attack me.”
All the color was drained from Diego’s face, as he knew his fate was sealed.
“Zion, you liar!” Diego let out one final roar, and then he spewed blood right before he fell to the ground
with a thud. He died with his eyes wide open; it was evident that he died an unpeaceful death.
novelbinEven though he was frustrated, there was no other way out for him. He wanted what Jared had, yet it
resulted in his own death in the end.
As everyone witnessed Diego’s death, conflict was plastered all across their faces. When Jared looked
at them, none of them was brave enough to make eye contact with him. Instead, they would avert their
gazes and run away in fright.Meanwhile, Ryker was positively upset. Now that Jared killed Diego, the Deragons’ Trial would get
unpredictable, especially with Jared’s participation.
At the same time, he felt some kind of murderous intent coming from a certain direction. Glancing up,
he noticed Jared glaring at him as if he were prey, so he quickly averted his gaze and scurried into his
car, driving away in a hurry.
The initially crowded place was now empty, with no one there except Diego’s body lying on the ground.
“I’ll get you, Zion. Just you wait.” Jared narrowed his eyes and whipped out the Nascent Soul he got
from Diego earlier.
Staring at the crystal clear Nascent Soul, Jared decided to search for a place to absorb it.
