Chapter 24 Big Harvest!

After the low graph reply, the power of [Protection from Evil] spewed out in the direction of Jason's finger like a tide.

It was supposed to be an illusory 'book', but when it came into contact with the special force field of [Protection from Evil], it suddenly shook, and layers of ripples appeared on the cover of the 'book'.

Edward, who had always maintained a comfortable and malicious smile, changed his face.

"return!"

Without hesitation, Edward issued an order in his heart.

However, this 'book' did not return to his hands as before, it just shook more intensely.

"return!"

Edward ordered again.

This time, it was no longer a silent recitation, but a loud roar.

At the same time, Jason completed the spell of [Protection from Evil] once again.

sI oT Yn

i!

The power of [Protection from Evil] is directly shrouded in the 'book'.

The already intense shaking became 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 there, but extremely powerful!

But why not use it directly before, but wait until now?

Is it...

Is he trying to humiliate me?

Murder and kill!

Edward's body trembled as he thought of this.

Immediately,

Edward's wide eyes widened.

His eyes widened, anger turned into anger and invaded his reason!

"You're not only sabotaging my plan, you're insulting my IQ!"

"I won't let you succeed!"

Edward yelled and spit out a mouthful of blood again.

And as the blood spit out, the power belonging to the shadow on the 'book' immediately became stronger, and the violent shaking began to calm down.

However, Jason immediately made another [Protection from Evil].

Whoosh, whoosh.

After two consecutive [Protection from Evil], Jason, whose physical strength was greatly consumed, couldn't help gasping.

Seeing this scene, Edward's eyes lit up.

"Being able to restrain the power of shadows, even if you, Jason, have a great burden to use, right?"

"How many times can you use it?"

"You're still a loser!"

With such words, Edward spat out blood again.

The 'Book' once again emerged with the power of shadows and began to struggle.

Feeling such a struggle, Jason raised his head and glanced at Edward lightly, and then, another note of [Protection from Evil].

The breath of life disappeared from Jason.

Edward smiled.

"Hahaha."

"Have you been devoured?"

"I said I am the winner..."

Edward wanted to say something more, but stopped abruptly.

His wide eyes were full of surprise.

Death is gone on Jason.

Health, appear again!

"impossible!"

"This is not an external attack, but the backlash of your own use of power, it is impossible to be resurrected so easily!"

Edward shouted loudly.

But right away, the once uncrowned king of Cherry City thought of something.

His face suddenly changed, and his eyes filled with unprecedented surprise, fear and anger.

"You stole my 'reincarnation ritual'!"

"No, it's not just stealing!"

"And you made it more applicable to you!"

"You became..."

"snake!"

Edward roared, as if to confirm his claim, blood spurting again from his mouth.

The resistance on the 'book' is getting stronger and stronger.

Without hesitation, Jason hit [Protection from Evil] in a row.

The breath of life and death alternately appeared on Jason, like a 'Ouroboros' spinning endlessly.

Such a breath made Edward confirm his guess.

"snake!"

Edward said again.

However, at this time, Edward did not shout loudly, but became solemn. He looked at Jason with a look that seemed to be the first time he knew Jason.

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 done this!"

"Did your layout 'confuse' me?"

"As expected of you, Jason!"

Edward's voice became more and more high-pitched, he stared at Jason intently, and said words that made Jason frown.

Think again!

Jason could confirm that Edward had misunderstood something, but at this time Jason didn't say anything.

Continuous use of [Protection from Evil] has already exhausted him.

Although death can be gone, energy is not restored.

He doesn't want to speak at all now.

And this kind of silence, in Edward's view, is the default.

"However, bewilderment only happens once!"

"I'm awake!"

"Now!"

"bring it on!"

Edward roared and punched his chest hard.

boom!

Click!

There was nothing fancy about this punch, Edward's rib shattered directly, and blood spurted out of his mouth continuously, but Edward's breath 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 you didn't help out, you were helping Jason.

However, in his heart, Brian had some doubts.

"Is this really Jason's layout?"

Brian asked John softly.

Then, in John's eyes as if looking at a fool, full of shame.

How could this be Jason's layout.

If it is really Jason's layout, according to Edward's description, Jason must have more complete means, not such a temptation.

That's right.

It is temptation.

Brian could see that Jason's previous actions were full of temptations.

If it was a real layout, it wouldn't do it at all.

To put it simply, the statement just now is completely Edward's imagination.

It's just... this kind of reasonable assumption made him involuntarily affected.

Brian shook his head continuously, trying to throw Edward's influence out of his mind, but at this moment, he was slightly taken aback.

He saw that Edward, who was vomiting blood in the distance, seemed to be shrouded in a phantom.

That phantom is looming, like a... snake?

Still double headed!

Brian turned his head to look, and when he saw John's expression, he knew that 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, only more!"

John spoke quite confidently.

Edward did not hear the words of the conversation between the two at all.

He stared at Jason and pointed to the looming huge phantom.

"Did Jason see that?"

"You are a snake, and so am I."

Edward said inexplicably proudly, as if this was a very remarkable thing, but every time he said a word, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, and the resistance of the 'book' would be intense.

Jason struck out [Protection Evil] one after another, suppressing the resistance of 'Book'.

And the fragrance belonging to 'food' became stronger and stronger under the struggle of 'book'.

The hunger in Jason's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

restraint!

Self-discipline sets me free!

Jason told himself that he tried hard not to 'smell' the aroma of the 'food', but the aroma of the 'food' would still penetrate his nose involuntarily.

It was torture for Jason.

is torture.

His body began to tremble involuntarily.

This is his will in restraint instinct.

Looking at Jason's trembling, Edward trembled just as well.

"Are you excited too?"

"This feeling..."

"It's amazing!"

Edward vomited blood while looking down at his trembling hands. The reigning king of Cherry City, who had never fought in a real sense, 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 the family, he is not disadvantaged.

Even if there is a little trouble, someone will help him solve it.

This was all before that happened!

When that happened, he felt the powerlessness!

He started to save himself!

He is accustomed to being cold-blooded and hypocritical, and he does everything he can.

He took it for granted.

After all, he just wanted to live.

Even just now, Edward didn't think it was a mistake.

And now?

He still didn't think he was wrong.

It's just, what is this feeling of 'excitement' that has never been experienced before?

Moreover, his enemies are also 'excited'.

Is this 'resonance'?

This is……

'enemy'?

call!

Edward took a deep breath, and he couldn't help looking at Jason, who was shaking like him.

He vomited blood faster.

However, he raised his hand and pointed to Jason——

"Jason!"

"The 'enemy' of my life!"

"Let's give up and fight!"

The voice fell, and Edward rushed straight towards Jason.

The phantom of the four- or five-meter-high two-headed snake also rushed away.

The 'book' struggles to a certain extreme.

Jason's [Protection Against Evil] is like an instinct.

The rich fragrance stimulated the desire in his heart.

Goo, goo.

He heard the hungry cry of his stomach.

However, to others, such a cry is a roar!

Roar! Roar!

In the roar of hunger one after another, a pitch-black phantom rose from Jason's body.

Pop, pop!

A gust of wind blew up, and the surrounding street lamps burst one after the other.

The night is getting darker.

Only those huge scarlet eyes remained.

It lowered its head to look at Edward who was rushing towards him, and without hesitation, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Edward.

call!

The dark shadow leaned down and rushed down, and the bloody mouth swept past Edward.

The two-headed snake that was still imposing and looming just now disappeared.

Edward stood stiffly in place.

He raised his head and looked at the huge, pitch-black figure.

His vision could not clearly see the appearance of the figure, 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 made the wrong choice of the so-called 'conspiracy', which distracted me too much. It's a pity."

"Yeah, there is a limit to human energy! The more I play tricks, the sooner I should find out that human energy has a limit; unless..."

"Beyond Humans!"

The thoughts in his heart emerged one after another, Edward felt the passage 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'.

The 'Book', which had returned to peace with the disappearance of the two-headed snake phantom, struggled violently again.

Likewise, the fragrance becomes intense.

"Jason!"

Edward's illusory head appeared on the cover of the 'book'. He looked at Jason, his eyes had already lost his lust, and his expression was even more dull, but his strength was multiplied.

The power of shadows!

sI oT Yn

i!

The power of [Protection from Evil] spewed out from the direction of Jason's finger again, shrouding the 'book'.

But such a force field only existed for less than a second before becoming shaky.

Jason is immediately [protection from evil] again.

Then, the third, the fourth, the fifth.

Thirty-three times in a row!

Quantitative change finally led to qualitative change!

Boom!

In the sound of thunder, lightning as thin as a snake appeared under the collision of two forces.

They wrap 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 is getting closer and closer to the 'book'.

3 cm!

2 cm!

1 cm!

Snapped!

In the end, Jason's finger touched the 'book' and pressed it on the 'book'.

The power on the 'book' shattered directly.

Under such shattering, Edward's shattered phantom exploded directly, turning into dots of fluorescent light scattered around.

The scent is coming!

Keep getting into the nose!

Jason, who had endured for a long time, lifted the corner of his mask, opened his mouth, and stuffed the whole book into his mouth.

The entrance of the 'book' has a sweet taste, the cover has a unique burnt and crispy feeling, and the pages are full of soft and waxy, but more importantly, the ink between the pages turns out to be creamy.

After chewing slightly, the cream flowed out from the layers of soft wax, filling Jason's mouth.

Unique taste.

Sweet in place.

Subconsciously, Jason narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Buttercream cake?

"good to eat."

Jason commented silently in his heart.

And in front of him, the words began to appear——

[Devouring the Book of Shadows (forged, damaged)]

【Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries! 】

[Satisfaction +200]

[Satisfy degree: 247]

[The excitement of food +2]

【The excitement of eating: 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 hunger, leaving 47 points of hunger from the original 182 points.

However, after swallowing the [Book of Shadows (Forged, Broken)], the satiety level that was immediately exhausted was restored, and it became even more.

Of course, what Jason cares more about is 'the excitement of eating'!

The excitement of eating at 2 o'clock!

During the battle, Jason guessed that he might get the excitement of eating, but he didn't expect it to be 2 points!

Looking at the excitement of eating at a total of 9 points, Jason took a deep breath.

Enough to increase the excitement of eating [Protection from Evil]!

"Satisfaction, increase the level of [Protection from Evil]!"
