The chewing sound is very clear.
Even the sound of burning flames cannot be masked.
John, Brian heard.
Edward, who was closer, naturally heard it too.
Even, Edward has a deeper feeling.
He could clearly feel that his cane was leaving him.
Immediately, Edward stopped the flames and looked anxiously.
He absolutely didn't want any problems with his cane. You must know that this cane is a high-level prop that can only be used through a "ceremony". Even the former Edward found a total of three pieces after exhausting his family property.
Therefore, when he saw clearly that Jason, who was scorched all over his body, was chewing with one hand the cane that should have been stuck in his chest, the expression of the once uncrowned king of Cherry City changed immediately.
He pointed at Jason.
He wished to bind Jason with the power he had acquired through the 'ritual'.
But, it didn't work at all.
Compared to the power of the 'cane', the power gained by this 'ritual' was too childish for Jason.
On the contrary, Edward's actions caught Jason's attention.
Burned by the flames, Jason stuffed the remaining piece of cane into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then spit out the scum of the cane.
Then he grinned at Edward.
The corners of Jason's mouth were split right up to the ears, and his pale teeth were shining coldly under the street lamp.
"Roasted sugar cane, delicious."
Jason said in a low voice.
Edward was taken aback.
He didn't expect Jason to say such words.
In other words, he never thought that his 'cane' could be eaten.
You must know that his 'cane' is extremely strong, and it is not afraid of flames and freezing. It can not only be used as a 'sword', but also restrain opponents.
But now he was eaten by Jason? !
In disbelief, Edward looked at Jason, who was covered in pitch black, lifted half of his mask because of chewing, and opened his mouth at himself, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This is the instinct of his body, not voluntary.
It's like walking in the wilderness and suddenly encountering a hungry wolf... No, it's not a wolf.
It's Tyrannosaurus Rex!
A hungry T-Rex!
Edward stared at Jason, stunned in surprise.
Jason didn't.
call!
The next moment, Jason who activated [Charge] rushed towards Edward like an arrow from the string.
The speed was so fast that Edward didn't respond at all.
There was a flash of cold light!
Edward felt a pain in his right hand.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that his right hand was gone.
It was cut down by the broad-bladed machete.
The palm was held by Jason.
"ah!"
Edward couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Jason pulled off the ruby ring, and threw away Edward's severed hand in disgust.
Then, a flame flashed in Jason's hand.
High temperature sterilization is always right.
Then, he threw the ring directly into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch.
The familiar chewing sound sounded again.
Unlike the roasted cane flavor of the previous cane, this fire gem ring is a little... spicy.
However, quite delicious.
It's like a tiger skin egg dipped in chili oil.
The outer skin is slightly crispy, but the egg white inside is extremely elastic, and when the egg yolk is bitten, the soft texture makes Jason's eyes shine.
But what surprised Jason the most was that the caramel taste of roasted sugar cane that hadn't dissipated in his mouth actually mixed with the spicy taste, turning it into a very special sweet and spicy taste.
[Swallow the rod of bondage!]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!]
[Satiety degree +22!]
[Saturation: 162]
…
[Swallowing Flame Ring]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!]
[Saturation +20]
[Saturation: 182]
"tasty!"
Jason couldn't help but comment again.
It's completely worthy of him dying three times in a row under the flames just now.
No!
It is more than enough!
If you die three times, you can taste this delicious food again. Jason is really willing to try it again. If there is a deadline for this kind of 'death', he hopes it will be 10,000 times.
The deliciousness stimulated Jason's brain.
Let his eyes involuntarily look at Edward who is slowly retreating while holding his wrist.
The other party still smells of 'food'!
Without the cover of 'ceremony', Jason's nose played its due role!
Apart from the cane and ruby ring, the opponent still has 'food' on his body!
Moreover, it is a more fragrant 'food' than a cane and a ruby ring!
"Don't come here!"
"stop!"
"I… "
Before Edward finished speaking, Jason slashed his neck with a knife.
There was a unique feeling of cutting flesh and blood from the blade, but Edward did not die.
He just staggered and fell to the ground.
And this time'death' also made Edward completely calm down.
Looking at Jason with surprise in his eyes, Edward sneered.
"Do you think you can kill me?"
"I am the king!"
"The country of Cherry City..."
Before Edward finished speaking, Jason made another shot. He grabbed Edward's ankle, treated him as a sandbag, and smashed it to the ground.
boom!
Amidst the heavy voice, Edward was slammed to the ground by Jason's enormous strength.
Immediately, there were cracks and blood on the asphalt road.
However, Edward did not die.
Even though the opponent bleeds profusely and his head is flattened, the opponent is still alive.
Jason turned around without hesitation, and threw Edward hard on the other side of his body again.
boom!
In perception, Edward is still alive.
Jason turned around again, grabbed Edward's ankle and threw Edward back.
bang bang bang!
In the next minute or so, Edward was swung left and right and hit the ground dozens of times.
Not only was his head smashed into mud, but his upper body had already disappeared when Jason threw it out.
However, the moment Jason let go, Edward's legs stood up, and the flesh and blood scattered around quickly gathered.
In a breath, Edward returned to his original appearance, including his broken right hand.
Even the clothes are intact.
"Ah."
"Surprised?"
"Like you, I also left a lot of cards for myself."
Edward chuckled.
"Although you came into contact with 'mysterious knowledge' earlier than me, my talent is even more outstanding, and I also possess wealth far beyond your imagination. When I got it, you must have suffered a lot in your heart, right? You You want to get it, but you also want me to complete all the arrangements for you, and then you can reap the power of a fisherman!"
"But what?"
"Your plan is still seen through by me!"
"You'll never get it!"
Edward, with a proud face, seemed to prove his strength to Jason, and he reached into his pocket.
The next moment, a book appeared on Edward's right finger.
The book is not big, and the thickness is average, only the size of an ordinary person's palm, just like a pocket book.
The cover of the book is dark yellow. Since Edward stood up the book and covered it with his fingers, Jason couldn't see anything else, but Jason could clearly smell the strong smell of 'food' on it.
Edward, on the other hand, flipped the pages of the book lightly.
This is his trump card.
Among his three props, the most powerful one!
It is also the core of all his plans that he built!
pity…
Failed.
However, as long as it is there, he will definitely make a comeback.
Edward believed so firmly.
"Although I was arranged by you, I failed this time, but you also failed."
"We are tied!"
Edward, who was flipping through the pages of the book, said this, but the former uncrowned king of Cherry City immediately shook his head.
"No."
"We're not tied!"
"I own it, and when faced with that matter, I still have room to turn around."
"And you?"
"Near death!"
"So... I'm the one who won!"
Edward said extremely arrogantly.
Especially when he saw that Jason's eyes were fixed on the book in his hand, the heat in his eyes was shining.
Edward was even more proud.
Then, the former defending king of Cherry City spread out his hands, still laying the book flat on his palm, and just sent it forward.
"Want it?"
"Come and get it."
Edward stared at Jason maliciously.
Although he won, he also lost two high-level props.
If he just left like this, he would really be a little unwilling.
So, he wants to humiliate Jason!
Although he couldn't kill Jason, he could still humiliate his opponent!
Moreover, only by severely humiliating Jason can he erase his unwillingness and make him happy.
Facing the 'food' that was close at hand, Jason tried his best to restrain his 'appetite', and he stared at Edward and the book in the opponent's hand full of scrutiny.
As an enemy, Edward would be so generous
Naturally it is impossible.
Either humiliation or trap.
But judging from the current situation, the former is bigger.
"A guy who thinks he's talented and has accomplished some impossible things easily with the power of the 'mysterious side', and then becomes arrogant, but in fact he has no actual combat experience and is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. At the last moment, in order to save face and prove your victory, are you going to play me?"
Thinking in his heart, Jason looked at the book in the opponent's palm.
The book in the palm at this moment has the back cover up, and the cover is buckled in the palm.
And just as Jason looked at the book in his palm, Edward turned the book over very cooperatively.
The cover rushed up.
"Crossroads Stalker"!
Jason was surprised when the title appeared.
But immediately, Jason deduced that Edward used the 'imitator' to reproduce and make up for the 'ritual' of "Cross Street Stalker", which turned out to be the 'core' of this book!
Take this book as the 'core'!
So this book... can create the world? !
Following such guesses, Jason's breathing became involuntarily rapid.
What would a 'food' capable of creating the world taste like
How much satiety and excitement can it bring to oneself
However, on the surface, Jason remained calm, only showing his yearning for 'food'.
And this is too simple for Jason now.
He himself is fascinated by 'food'.
Jason's expression really made Edward feel comfortable.
Edward seemed to have completely forgotten that his "ceremony" was interrupted, the loss of two high-end props, and the waste of a lot of hard work. He just wanted to see Jason's eyes that he couldn't ask for.
"Painful?"
Edward asked with a smile.
Then, the defending king of Cherry City seemed to want to be happier, so he threw the book in his hand towards Jason.
Jason didn't answer, but instinctively dodged sideways.
Snapped!
The book fell to the floor.
Jason slowly approached the book, and after confirming that there was no danger on it, he tentatively reached out to touch the book.
Then, fingers passed through.
Even though it is a physical book, the fingers cannot touch it at all.
Tried it several times in a row.
And at this moment, Edward couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hahaha!"
Edward laughed out loud.
Amidst that laughter, Edward's body leaned back and forth, obviously extremely happy.
Since Edward dared to throw away his most important props, he naturally had absolute certainty.
When he got this special prop, Edward completed a "ceremony" with this prop, and in the days that followed, he performed several special "ceremonies" for safety reasons.
Under these layers of rituals, this prop has already become impossible for others to touch that prop.
Similarly, let him call.
He didn't speak, but following Edward's thought, the book that had just fallen to the ground flew back into Edward's hands.
Jason witnessed the whole process.
He noticed the difference right away.
He can clearly see the shadow of 'book' and Edward's shadow always have a trace of link in everything.
shadow
Jason narrowed his eyes.
"What a fool!"
"You just found out?"
"This is the power of an extremely rare shadow."
Edward said proudly, and then he continued in a pretentiously self-deprecating tone:
"Of course, I didn't master such a special power. I just used the 'ritual' to borrow its own power—the power of shadow!"
"I'm afraid you only know that it can construct a brand new 'world' through rituals, but you don't know that the world constructed in this way is the shadow world, right?"
"yes."
"How could you possibly know?"
"You are a guy with average talent, do you have more wealth?"
"Look at what you look like now."
"It really makes people feel pity!"
Saying such words, Edward threw the 'book' in his hand towards Jason again.
Snapped!
As before, Jason dodged sideways, and the 'book' fell to the ground.
Seeing Jason dodging, the corners of Edward's mouth turned up.
It was as if he was watching a monkey show.
And when Jason cautiously approached the 'book' again, tentatively touching the 'book', the happiest moment of the monkey show came. Edward couldn't wait, and the upturned corner of his mouth was about to burst into a comfortable smile.
Jason's fingers were on the surface of the cover.
It didn't get any closer.
Then-
Yi!
