Not Twins

Chapter 3313

Watching Rostom’s torment, Jared realized that it must be the parasitic silkworm’s venom at work. He hadn’t expected that Hyrum would betray even his own ally.

I guess it was all a ruse from the very beginning… Hyrum had been manipulating Rostom the whole time, using him to distract me so that he could unleash those parasitic silkworms.

“Ahhh!” Rostom howled in agony, his face twisted in pain. Soon, his expression grew blank and lifeless, his eyes becoming empty and void of any emotion. His body stood motionless, resembling a walking corpse.

These were the symptoms after Rostom’s divine soul had been devoured. He had become nothing more than an empty shell, and before long, he would become a meal for the demon beasts that had invaded his body.

In the end, his machinations backfired, and he paid the price. In a way, it was a harsh lesson in karmic justice.

With an unsettling groan, Rostom’s mouth parted, and a swarm of venomous parasites crawled out. The newly emerged ones still retained a discernible shape. Seeing this, Jared hastily conjured a ball of demonic fire to incinerate these venomous parasites.

The inferno engulfed not just the creatures, but Rostom as well. Soon, Rostom’s body was reduced to a smoldering pile of ash, but to Jared’s surprise, the venomous parasites remained unscathed.

“D*mn it! I can’t believe these creatures are immune to demonic fire! These parasitic silkworms are too powerful!” Jared muttered.

Realizing he was outmatched, he turned on his heel and ran.

“Mr. Chance, these parasitic silkworms are ancient and rare creatures. Very few people can cultivate them nowadays. If it weren’t for that guy’s desperate attempt to save his life, he probably wouldn’t have released these parasitic silkworms so quickly,” Faiyar explained.

He was right, for at this moment, Hyrum was kicking himself for running away. After all, those parasitic silkworms were his greatest reliance and his ultimate trump card.

Even the members of Soulless Hall are unaware of my secret weapon. I went to great lengths to raise these parasitic silkworms, but I didn’t do it to raise my power. Instead, I simply wanted to nurture these creatures. The pain I endured each time was beyond description, something only a few could ever withstand. It pained me to deploy all my meticulously cultivated parasitic silkworms against Jared, but I had no other choice.

Meanwhile, the parasitic silkworms had once again vanished without a trace, rendering them undetectable even to Jared’s spiritual sense.

He reckoned that if someone were to arrive now, they would unquestionably fall victim to the venomous parasite, and all this would happen without them having the slightest inkling of the impending attack.

The parasitic silkworms were fast, and Jared had no choice but to sprint desperately, without the capacity to chase after Hyrum. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Faiyar, is there no way to stop these parasitic silkworms? Will they just keep attacking relentlessly?” he asked.

I don’t get it. No matter how potent these venomous parasites are, there should be moments when they stop, shouldn’t there?

“Once unleashed, it is almost impossible to stop these parasitic silkworms. They must feed on their victim’s divine soul until they are satiated before they gradually cease and transform into a pupa, awaiting the next host’s cultivation. If no one cultivates them, these parasitic silkworm pupae will gradually disappear,” came Faiyar’s reply.

Hearing this, Jared was utterly baffled. I need to let these parasitic silkworms feed until they’re satisfied? What kind of joke is this?

Just as he was running for his life, Misho appeared, leading a group of men toward him. They were worried that Jared might be in danger and had come to protect him.

Seeing Misho and his group approaching, Jared panicked and shouted frantically, “Don’t come over here! Run! Run quickly!”

Misho and the others hesitated for a moment, gazing at Jared with a sense of confusion. They observed that there was nothing behind the man, yet he was acting as if something terrible was chasing him.

“Quickly, run!” Jared shouted again when he saw Misho and the others standing still. However, it was too late, for he was on the verge of colliding with Misho and his group.

He knew that if he ran over, those parasitic silkworms would undoubtedly follow, and Misho and the others probably wouldn’t be able to escape them.
