After the low Tufu language, the power of [Protection from Evil] gushed out in the direction of Jason's finger like a tide.
The 'book', which was supposed to be an illusion, immediately trembled when it came into contact with the special force field of [Protection from Evil], and layer after layer of ripples appeared on the cover of the 'book'.
Edward, who had been maintaining a comfortable, malicious smile, changed his face.
"return!"
Without hesitation, Edward gave the order in his heart.
However, this 'book' did not return to his hands as before, it just trembled more intensely.
"return!"
Edward ordered again.
This time, it was no longer a silent recitation in the bottom of my heart, but a loud roar.
At the same time, Jason once again completed the [protection against evil] spell.
wxya
'i!
The power of [Protection from Evil] directly enveloped the 'book'.
The already intense trembling became more and more intense.
puff!
Edward, who was closely related to the 'book' in the distance, spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The former defending king of Cherry City stared at Jason with wide eyes. He knew that he had miscalculated again!
Jason has the ability to get his 'book'!
Not only that, but extremely powerful!
But why not use it directly before, but wait until now
Could it be...
He is trying to humiliate me
Murder!
Edward's body trembled, he thought of this.
Immediately, Edward's staring eyes widened even further.
His eyes widened with anger, and his anger turned into anger and invaded his reason!
"You not only ruined my plan, but also insulted my IQ!"
"I won't let you succeed!"
Edward roared, and spit out a mouthful of blood again.
And with the spit out of this mouthful of blood, the power of the shadow on the 'book' immediately became stronger, and the intense shaking began to calm down.
However, Jason immediately made another [Protection from Evil].
Whew, wheeze.
After two consecutive [Protection from Evil], Jason, who was exhausted, couldn't help panting.
Seeing this scene, Edward couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Being able to restrain the power of shadows, even you, Jason, will have a huge burden to use it?"
"How many times can you use it?"
"You are still a loser!"
With such words, Edward spit out blood again.
'Book' once again emerged the shadow power, began to struggle.
Feeling such a struggle, Jason raised his head and glanced at Edward lightly, and then another [Protection from Evil].
The breath of life disappeared from Jason.
Edward smiled.
"Hahaha."
"Have you been backlashed?"
"I said I am the winner..."
Edward wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.
His wide eyes were full of astonishment.
Death receded on Jason.
Health, appear again!
"impossible!"
"This is not an external attack, but a backlash from your own use of power. It is impossible to be resurrected so easily!"
Edward shouted loudly.
But immediately, the former uncrowned king of Cherry City thought of something.
His face changed suddenly, and unprecedented surprise, fear and anger appeared in his eyes.
"You stole my 'Reincarnation Ritual'!"
"No, it's not just stealing!"
"You also make it more applicable to you!"
"You turned into..."
"snake!"
Edward roared, as if to confirm his statement, blood spurted from his mouth again.
The power of resistance on the 'book' is getting stronger and stronger.
Jason didn't hesitate to hit [Protection from Evil].
The aura of life and death appeared alternately on Jason's body, just like a 'Ouroboros' spinning endlessly.
This breath made Edward confirm his guess.
"snake!"
Edward said again.
However, at this time, Edward didn't yell loudly, but became solemn. He looked at Jason with a look as if he was meeting Jason for the first time.
The surprise in his eyes receded immediately.
The fear is deeper.
But there is relief.
"yes!"
"If you can't even do such a thing, how can you be the one who arranges everything?"
"I underestimated you before."
"I shouldn't have!"
"Did your layout 'confuse' me?"
"As expected of you, Jason!"
Edward's voice became higher and higher. He stared at Jason with all his attention, and said words that made Jason frown.
Think again!
Jason could confirm that Edward had misunderstood something, but Jason didn't make a sound at this time.
Continuous use of [Protection from Evil] had already exhausted him.
Although death can be gone, energy is not restored.
He doesn't even want to talk now.
And such silence, in Edward's view, was tacit consent.
"However, you can only be confused once!"
"I'm awake!"
"Now!"
"bring it on!"
Edward roared and punched himself hard in the chest.
boom!
Click!
This punch was without fancy, Edward's ribs were directly shattered, and blood spewed out of his mouth continuously, but Edward's aura was getting stronger and stronger.
John and Brian, who had been watching the battle from a distance, subconsciously dragged the unconscious McCall back.
From the very beginning, the entire battlefield was beyond the capabilities of the two of them.
The two experienced people knew very well that at this time, if they didn't help rashly, they were helping Jason.
However, in the bottom of his heart, Brian was a little puzzled.
"Is this really Jason's layout?"
Brian asked John softly.
Then, in John's eyes as if looking at a fool, he was full of shame.
How could this be Jason's layout.
If it was really Jason's layout, based on Edward's description, Jason must have more complete means instead of such a temptation.
That's right.
It is a temptation.
Brian could see that Jason's previous actions were full of temptations.
If it is really arranging people, it will not do this at all.
To put it simply, what I just said is completely Edward's imagination.
It's just... This kind of reasonable assumption made him involuntarily affected.
Brian shook his head continuously, trying to get rid of Edward's influence from his mind, but at this moment, he was slightly taken aback.
He saw that Edward, who was vomiting blood again and again in the distance, seemed to be covered by some phantom.
The phantom loomed, like a... snake
Still double!
Brian turned his head to look, and when he saw John's expression, he knew he was not hallucinating.
"This lunatic still has a hole card?"
Brian couldn't help but said.
"Do not worry."
"He has it, and so does Jason."
"And, there will only be more!"
John spoke quite confidently.
Edward did not hear the conversation between the two at all.
He stared at Jason, and pointed to the huge phantom looming.
"Did Jason see it?"
"You are a snake, and so am I."
Edward said with inexplicable pride, as if this was an extremely remarkable thing, but every time he said a word, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, and the resistance of 'Book' would be very strong.
Jason's [Protection from Evil] strikes one after another, suppressing the resistance of the 'book'.
And the fragrance belonging to 'food' became stronger and stronger under the struggle of 'book'.
The hunger in Jason's heart grew stronger.
restraint!
Self-discipline set me free!
Jason told himself that he tried his best not to 'smell' the scent of 'food', but the scent of 'food' would still involuntarily penetrate into his nose.
This was suffering for Jason.
It is torture.
His body began to tremble involuntarily.
This is his will restraining instinct.
Seeing Jason's trembling, Edward also trembled.
"Are you excited too?"
"This feeling..."
"It's amazing!"
Edward vomited blood while lowering his head to look at his trembling hands. The defending king of Cherry City, who had never really fought before, felt a wonderful experience he had never had before.
Edward, the first half of his life has always been elegant, relying on the strength of his family, he is invincible.
Even if there is a little trouble, someone will help him solve it.
All this before that event!
When that happened, he felt that sense of powerlessness!
He started to save himself!
He was used to being cold-blooded and hypocritical, so he did everything he could.
He took it for granted.
After all, he just wants to survive.
Even just now, Edward didn't think it was a mistake.
And now
He still didn't think he was wrong.
Just, what is this sense of 'excitement' that I have never experienced before
Moreover, his enemies are also 'excited'.
Is this 'resonance'
This is…
'Nemesis'
call!
Edward took a deep breath, and he couldn't help looking at Jason who was trembling like himself.
He vomited blood faster.
However, he raised his hand and pointed at Jason—
"Jason!"
"The 'enemy' of my life!"
"Let's let it go and fight!"
After the words fell, Edward rushed straight towards Jason.
The phantom of the two-headed snake with a height of four or five meters also rushed away.
'The Book' struggles to some extreme.
Jason's [Protection from Evil] is like an instinct.
The strong fragrance stimulated the desire in his heart.
Goo, goo.
He heard the cries of hunger in his stomach.
However, to others, such a cry is a roar!
Roar! Roar!
Amidst the hunger growls again and again, a phantom as black as ink shot up from Jason's body.
Crack, clap!
A gust of wind blew up, and the surrounding street lamps exploded one after another.
The night became deeper and deeper.
Only the huge scarlet eyes remained.
It lowered its head to look at Edward who was rushing, opened its bloody mouth without hesitation, and swallowed Edward.
call!
The dark shadow leaned over and rushed down, passing Edward with a bloody mouth.
The two-headed snake that was majestic and looming just now disappeared.
Edward stood stiffly on the spot.
He raised his head to look at the huge black figure like ink.
He couldn't see the figure's appearance clearly, but he was certain in his heart.
"Is this your 'snake'?"
He muttered to himself in a low voice.
Then, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
"I should have reached this level, but I chose the so-called 'trick' by mistake. It distracted me too much. It's a pity."
"Yes, human energy has a limit! The more I play tricks, the sooner I should discover that human energy has a limit; unless..."
"Beyond human!"
The thoughts in his heart emerged one after another, Edward felt the passing of life, but the regret on his face gradually disappeared.
He looked at Jason, and said word by word—
"Jason, I'm not a human anymore!"
boom!
Edward's whole body exploded directly.
His flesh, bones, and internal organs turned into shadows and merged into the 'book'.
'Book', who had calmed down as the phantom of the double-headed snake disappeared, struggled violently again.
Likewise, the fragrance becomes more intense.
"Jason!"
Edward's illusory head appeared on the cover of the 'book'. He looked at Jason, his eyes had already lost their luster, and his expression was even more dull, but his strength had increased exponentially.
The power of shadows!
wxya
'i!
The power of [Protection from Evil] spewed out from the direction of Jason's finger again, covering the 'book'.
But such a force field only existed for less than a second before it became precarious.
Jason was about to do [Protection from Evil] again.
Then, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time.
Thirty-three times in a row!
Quantitative change has finally caused qualitative change!
Rumble!
Amidst the sound of thunder, streaks of lightning as thin as snakes appeared under the collision of two forces.
They wrapped around Jason's body.
Also wrapped around the 'book'.
It even invaded Edward's phantom.
Almost instantly, Edward's phantom shattered.
The power on the 'book' was directly weakened to the extreme.
Jason's hand was getting closer and closer to the 'book'.
3 centimeters!
2 centimeters!
1 cm!
Snapped!
Finally, Jason's finger touched the 'book' and pressed on the 'book'.
The power on the 'book' shattered directly.
Under such shattering, Edward's shattered phantom exploded directly, turning into bits of fluorescent light scattered around.
Fragrance, rushing to face!
Keep getting into the nose!
Jason, who had endured it for a long time, raised the corner of his mask, opened his mouth, and stuffed the entire book into his mouth.
There is a sweet taste from the entrance of the 'book', the cover has a unique crispy feeling, and the pages are full of softness, but more importantly, the ink between the pages of the book is actually the smell of cream.
After chewing slightly, the cream flowed out from the layers of soft waxy layer, filling Jason's mouth.
Unique taste.
Sweet in place.
Subconsciously, Jason narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Mille-feuille
"tasty."
Jason evaluated silently in his heart.
And in front of his eyes, words began to appear—
[Book of Devouring Shadows (Copy, Broken)]
[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Saturation +200]
[Saturation: 247]
[Eating Excitement +2]
[Eating Excitement: 9]
…
In addition to the 33 consecutive deaths at the last moment, Jason also died 12 times in the previous battle, consuming a total of 135 points of satiety, leaving 47 points of the original 182 points of satiety.
However, with the devouring of [Book of Shadows (Copy, Damaged)], the immediately exhausted satiety will be restored directly, and it will become more.
Of course, Jason is more concerned about the 'excitement of food'!
2 points of food excitement!
During the battle, Jason guessed that he might get the excitement of eating, but he didn't expect it to be 2 points!
Seeing the excitement of eating at a total of 9 o'clock, Jason took a deep breath.
Enough is enough to increase the excitement of eating [Protection from Evil]!
"Saturation, increase [Protection from Evil] level!"
