Chapter 663 Task Completion (1/2)
At this moment, Darren found it difficult to move. No matter how hard he tried, his muscles wouldn't respond. It was as if he were paralyzed.
He swayed helplessly in the sea of fire, not knowing where it would take him. In such a wretched state, even moving an inch seemed an unachievable task to him.
Deep in his soul, the pain that he bore had exceeded his limit. Darren felt as though his soul was only one step from collapsing.
The orange robe he had donned had more or less weakened the power of the black flame. Had he not protected himself with the robe, his soul would have long been dispersed and turned into nothing.
”Boy, hold on, or I will kill you!” Jordan exclaimed. The anxiety coursing through him reflected in his expression.
He became worried when he saw that Darren was trembling and not moving. He was afraid that Darren would fall and that his efforts would be in vain.
Although he was intimidating Darren with his threats, he had also released a healing rule power to assist Darren.
”Boy, you are only one step away from success. If you dare to pause, I will kill your friends!” Jordan threatened again.
How could Darren have the strength to heed Jordan's words when he was consumed by torment? He desperately hoped to take the first step forward and escape this disaster as fast as he could.
Time went by achingly slowly. Darren had been still for an hour! All this time, he had been struggling to move, only to end up with failure.
”Damn it! If you don't move, I will kill your friends!”
Jordan threatened out of exasperation. He was not bluffing; he genuinely meant it. A rune whistled over Darren's head and flew toward his friends, who were standing at the edge of the fire sea. In a second, one of them was reduced to ashes.
Although it happened in the blink of an eye, terror paralyzed everyone. Darren's heart beat violently at the sight. Sorrow and fury coursed through him. However, he could do nothing except curse the murderer, Jordan.
”Why don't you move? Do you want me to kill more?”
Jordan released another rune and blew up another man's head.
Now, only Hobson and the other young leader remained.
