Chapter 3313Watching 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.
novelbinThe 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.
“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.
