CHAPTER 2523 TURN AND RUN
Jared ambled over to Ali's group with Percy, but none of the Demon Wolves dared to attack the two.
Upon realizing that Jared and Percy were the only ones who had come, Ali's group was stunned again.
Emily even anxiously shouted, “Jared, why did you come? Hurry up and leave this place! It's dangerous here!”
She was hoping that Jared would leave before these Demon Wolves came back to their senses.
Jared and Percy were heading to their deaths by confronting the Demon Wolves alone.
“Emily, I've come with Percy to save you all,” Jared informed.
“Jared, if you weren't injured, then maybe you could save us. However, you're gravely hurt and have yet to recover. You're only courting death by doing this!” Emily pleaded with desperation.
The pack of at least a hundred Demon Wolves presented an overwhelming challenge for Jared. While he could have handled one or two of them at a time, facing them all simultaneously would be an insurmountable task.
Frankly, that was an issue Jared had contemplated as well, but he was confident. He knew that these Demon Wolves did not dare to attack him.
“Don't worry, Emily. I have a way to get you all out of here,” Jared told her firmly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“I'm grateful that you've come to save us, Jared, but you won't be able to win against all these Demon Wolves. Take Percy and leave this place. Don't let yourself die here,” Ali said, for he also did not believe that Jared could go up against the wolves and win.
“Ali, Emily, maybe Jared can really save you from this place. He has recovered much, and he even managed to kill those people from Cyan Village who were trying to capture you alone!”
Unlike Emily and Ali, Percy had faith in Jared as he had seen how Jared had killed the people from Cyan Village.
Ali's group was visibly astonished to hear Percy's words. Then, a look of delighted surprise manifested on their faces.
“That's fantastic news! With those b*stards finally eliminated, our sacrifices will be worthwhile,” exclaimed one of the villagers from Rock Village.
“No worries. As long as I'm here, the grim reaper won't come near you,” Jared reassured, a small smile playing on his lips.
Right then, the leader of the Demon Wolves howled, and the pack moved to surround them again. This time, Jared was part of the surrounded group.
Perhaps the leader of the Demon Wolves had sensed that Jared was a threat to them, for it instructed dozens of its wolves to rush toward Jared while the rest of the wolves readied themselves for an attack.
At that, Ali and the other people dragged their aching and tired bodies forward, raising their weapons in preparation to fight against the Demon Wolves with Jared.
“Don't move. I can do this alone.”
Yet, to their surprise, Jared stopped them.
As he narrowed his eyes, waves of aura began emanating from him. Traces of the Power of Dragons and Phoenixes were in those waves of aura.
Although Jared had yet to make a full recovery, even the slightest hint of the Power of Dragons and Phoenixes would create an immense sense of pressure for those demon beasts.
Sure enough, right as Jared unleashed his aura, the Demon Wolves who were darting toward Jared halted.
In fact, the leader of the Demon Wolves was even staring at Jared with terror in its eyes, its body shaking.
Abruptly, the leader of the Demon Wolves let out a frightened howl.
In the next second, the hundred-over pack of Demon Wolves spun around and left without hesitation.
It only took dozens of seconds before all of the Demon Wolves were gone. The only wolves left were those that were already dead.
Everyone was dumbstruck by the turn of events.
Although Jared was somewhat aware of what would happen if he were to make that move, he still did not expect to scare those Demon Wolves that badly just by unleashing a small portion of the Power of Dragons and Phoenixes.
However, those Demon Wolves were not powerful, so they were rightfully terrified of the aura of celestial beasts. Jared could not help but wonder if the Power of Dragons and Phoenixes would have a similar effect on more powerful demon beasts.
