“Give it another shot,” Aziel said to Verdin.
Verdin grimaced. If could have beaten Aziel, would have definitely taken action to eliminate him. Regrettably, was no match for Aziel at that time.
He was somewhat regretful for coming in, as it would have been better if hadn’t entered in the first place.
At that point, had no chance to escape. Aziel’s aura had already locked onto him, specifically to prevent his escape. If dared to harbor any thoughts at that moment, Aziel would undoubtedly strike without hesitation.
However, if were to continue walking forward, and if the samurai statue suddenly attacked, felt might not be able to withstand it.
Caught in a bind, Jared boldly declared, “If you think he‘s more handsome than me, then why don‘t you come over here? These two statues won’t attack a handsome guy…”
“What are you still waiting for?” Aziel asked Verdin coldly.
“Mr. Aldwych, can’t someone else take my place? I’ve already tried once and even sustained serious injuries.” Verdin protested.
“What? Are you expecting me to try it instead?” Aziel said, his eyes narrowing.
“You could…” Verdin glanced around, determined not to let Dexton leave. His gaze then settled on a few individuals in black robes standing behind Nymeria.
“You can have them try,” suggested Verdin.
“What’s this? You fear Heavenfall Pavilion, but you don’t fear Bloodbane Palace?” Nymeria’s eyes momentarily flashed with a murderous intent.
Verdin was frightened into silence and sighed. However, under pressure, had no choice but to steel himself and approach the stone platform once again.
With every step took, kept a firm gaze on the two samurai statues, deeply afraid that they might suddenly spring to life.
The moment had just set foot on the stone platform, the two statues opened their eyes, their long swords swiftly slashing down!
Boom! Boom!
“D*mn it!” Verdin roared, frantically channeling all his spiritual energy in defense. However, his defense was like paper against the statue’s attack, instantly shattered!
Blood spurted wildly as Verdin was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. A ghastly wound split open his chest, his aura dwindling to a critical point.
“Why… Why am I the only one being attacked?” He roared in anger and frustration.
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding why only Verdin was attacked and not Jared.
Aziel frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between Jared and the statues.
Finally, said icily, “It seems that the attack mechanism of these two statues is not based solely on gender or strength…”
“What is it, then?” Nymeria furrowed brows.
“Perhaps… It’s his bloodline?” Aziel narrowed his eyes, fixating on Jared. “There might be something special about him…”
A thought flickered through Jared’s mind, but maintained his composure externally, shrugging as said, “Perhaps it’s just good luck?”
“Hmph!” Aziel snorted in disbelief.
However, at that moment, Verdin was seriously injured, and others dared not attempt to approach recklessly. The only one who could get close to the stone platform was Jared!
“Go, open those three coffins!” Aziel commanded.
Jared glanced at and casually retorted, “And why should I listen to you?”
“You won’t listen?” A murderous intent surged in Aziel’s eyes. “Then I‘ll kill you right now!”
Jemima anxiously grabbed onto Aziel’s sleeve, whispering, “Aziel, don’t be rash…”
Jemima was afraid that Aziel might actually lay a hand on Jared. Given the situation, believed Jared was undoubtedly outmatched.
“I’ll give it a shot…” Nymeria gave Aziel a disdainful glance, then proceeded toward the stone platform.
Nymeria moved at a leisurely pace, and each step took seemed to ripple through the void.
